Chapter 415 Cavalry of Professional Education

This time, going to the transaction is not just a simple barter transaction.Since goods can be traded, can war and politics be traded?

It's just that I didn't expect that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and I was finally discovered by Gaoliu's Mohist cavalry and trapped here.

Outside the car formation.

The concubine Mi comforted Bai Xing, who was slightly excited because he was about to participate in the battle, touched the gunpowder and iron mine in the saddlebag, and naturally remembered the first time he came into contact with this thing.

He was already eight years old when his father captured King Yi of Yue in the Battle of Lushui, and he had already started studying in the village school.

The "mister" who taught them was actually not much older than him. He only learned to read and count for four or five years, and was forced to be sent to schools in various villages as a teacher.

At that time, in the morning, I needed to learn words, counting, and common sense of nature.

In the afternoon, most of them lined up, and the veterans in the village community taught them to march in line, holding small wooden sticks as short spears, and practicing basic fighting skills.

At that time, not long after the family's horse gave birth to a foal, his father went out to fight, and no one took care of him. When his uncle went to drink and let the horses go, he climbed on the horse's back and fell a few times, but he was not afraid.

At that time, the requirement was to receive four years of the most basic education. It is said that apart from the fees for volunteer teachers, the Mohism invested the most money in education.

Most of the people who went to school earlier than him were forced to become teachers.Even if they can only read five or six hundred characters, and can count within one thousand, they are usually assigned to schools in rural areas by force.

In the year Mo Di passed away, Shu Pu Mi remembered that she just graduated.At that time, the system was strict. If a child graduated with less than [-] words, the family would be fined money and food.

At that time, he had excellent grades in the village community. After all, his uncle Shu Qinghou was a disciple who had followed Shi to study very early. Teach him something.

In this way, I went to middle school. Middle school is no longer compulsory, but I can go if I want to, and I can’t go if I don’t want to.However, the best group of people in the village school are still forced to go, and the Mo family will provide money, accommodation and daily expenses.

At that time, there was a saying that the grain of the nobles of the Song Dynasty and the rice of the nobles of the Yue State were cheated by the workshops of the Mohist family and supported the huge untouchable student group in Sishang.

The concubine Pu Mi did well in the village school, but compared to the children in Sishang, she was not so good.The family was enough for him to finish middle school, and his grades were not bad, so he studied in middle school for another three years.

Three years is a difference. Those who have learned better will enter a better school and continue to learn those rather profound knowledge. In such a school, suitable disciples will often come to teach, and sometimes Shi himself will come Teach a few times.

The non-top group of people will be arranged to different schools to learn some skills that "settled their lives and benefited the world".

Farming, carpentry, blacksmithing, iron smelting, stonemasons, potters, medicine, teachers... All kinds of different classifications are for the future to have some skills and do better than their parents.Most of them are in the form of part-time work and part-study, and they started to learn skills on the farm or in various workshops early on.

Mi, the concubine, chose to enter the military academy and became the third cadet of the Sishang Basic Military Academy. Originally, he wanted to study artillery, but his grades in geometry were not very good, so he had to go to the cavalry department.

Life in a military academy is extremely strict. After learning exercises, queues, and geometry, a series of "moral" classes are required.

It was in the military academy that he first came into contact with iron mines that could blow people up, although he had already touched a musket.

This thing had already appeared on the battlefield of world disputes before he was born, and Shangqiu was the place where this thing first appeared on the battlefield.

At that time, it will cause Chu people to panic and think it is thunder.

But after he was born, weapons like gunpowder were already commonplace in Sishang, especially in Pei County. He was a new generation who grew up in the "Gunpowder Age" environment, and he never felt that there was any ghostly power in it.

In his eyes, this is a killing weapon.It was the same as what his parents knew about bows, crossbows or spears when he was his age.

Take it for granted, get used to it.Including Mohism's ideas of equality and universal love, like this gunpowder, there is no need to talk about how equality is derived among the younger generation, they will naturally take equality for granted since ancient times.

In Takayanagi, these gunpowders are also commonly used.Those built border forts often clashed with the tribes of Linhu Loufan. Those special-shaped fortresses were equipped with cannons, muskets and iron mines. Often more than 200 people could defend the attack of thousands of people.

Even the strong men in the team have seen it, and many of them have used it.

The iron mine here has been slightly improved, and it still has a round shape, but a ring rope is made of leather, which is easier to exert force when throwing.

A few bursts of musketry brought the concubine Mie back from his stupor. He shook his shoulders, which were uncomfortable because he was wearing three layers of leather armor, stepped on the horse, and wrapped the matchlock around his waist.

The seven people behind them also got on their horses, and began to move slowly towards the flanks of the car formation covered by thick smoke. At this time, they could not ride fast, and they had to save their horsepower first.

Shirahoshi on his crotch has long been used to charging, feeling his master's movements, taking small steps gracefully, doing a warm-up before charging with all his strength.

The concubine Mi looked at the chariot formation covered by the smoke, and carefully observed a shrub before. It was only ten steps away from the chariot formation, and it was the best place to throw iron mines into the chariot formation.

Therefore, this requires excellent riding skills, and it also requires excellent riding skills to lead the team in front. Once you rush up and want to turn back, it is difficult to control.

If it is close, it may rush to the edge of the car formation and be killed by the people inside.If it is far away, it may not be possible to throw it in.

He carefully calculated the distance, and took out an iron mine from the saddle bag with his right hand, and the people behind followed suit, and then clamped the horse's belly with his legs, his buttocks seemed to be sitting on the saddle, and the bronze spurs under his feet were lightly pierced. Take a look at the mount.

The horses, which had been pressing down on their speed, waited for the most exciting sting on the battlefield, and spread their hooves and galloped forward.

The concubine Mi lit the fuse on the gunpowder mine, and when she was more than 20 steps away from the bush, she controlled the horse and prepared to turn.

The angle of acceleration before determines the distance required for the horse to turn. This is something he learned in the cavalry at the military academy. The experience that can be passed on after summing up.

It's like a weird curve, near the bush is the point where the horse team is closest to the car formation, and after that point, the horses will move away as if they were thrown away.

The distance was getting closer and closer, the prisoner Mi hooked the stirrup with her left foot, leaned to the right, held Tie Lei's leather rope tightly in her hand, bent her body to the right into a bow shape, and with the help of her waist, she yelled out The iron mine in his hand was thrown out.

Now that it has been cast, there is no need to look any further. With the help of the deflection in the center, the horse's rein is pulled and started to turn.

"Enough for them."

The concubine Mi thought to himself that more than 200 people surrounded the car formation, which coincided with the explosion of the iron thunder.

Explosions sounded one after another behind him, and he rode his horse out of the range of the bow and arrow.Rein in the horse and regroup. If the enemy does not disperse, then continue to throw in this roundabout way.

However, when he reined in his horse and gathered the seven people behind him to prepare for another attack, he found that some people had already come out of the smoke and fled here and there, at least six to seventy people.

Looking at the distance, I found that the cavalry of the company had already caught up and launched an assault.

The prisoner Mi thought to himself, it seems that there is no need to throw it away. We use chariots because we have our own guns, and Lin Hu has no gunpowder.

He gave a pursuit order to his comrades behind him, fixed his eyes on a person who was running away in front, drew out his iron sword, turned his horse's head and chased after that person.

The man heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and looked back while running, his eyes were full of horror, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only turn his head and continue running.

"Infantry without formation is like a slaughtered lamb in front of cavalry."

This is a sentence that the concubine Pu Mi learned in the military academy. He steered his horse forward, turned the horse's head quietly, and marched to the right side of the fleeing man.

This is an instinct in a fight. When cavalry fights, the position of the right arm is very important.During a normal battle, when hedging over, both sides are facing the enemy with their respective superior arms.

But in a chaotic battle, when the speed of the horse cannot be highlighted, it is necessary to rely on their respective riding skills, using the methods of blocking the enemy's horse's head, squeezing the opponent's horse with the horse, and seizing the dominant arm position.Side-by-side chaotic battles, with equal martial arts skills, whoever can grab the left will win.

During the chase, naturally there is no need to think too much, but the instinct honed in the battle still allowed the concubine Mi to occupy the position on the right.

The moment the horse's head arrived behind the man, the concubine Mi bent down and slashed the man's neck with his sword, just like chopping branches at home.

The slight shock caused him to curse secretly, and said in his heart: "Don't cut off the bone or break the blade, after all, you are still unskilled in using it..."

The thought flashed by, and subconsciously looked back at the cut man, who was twitching on the ground, thinking that he would not survive.

"Poor man. What did you die for?"

Whispered, feeling worthless for the man who was still convulsing and hadn't completely died.The two people had never met each other, but they were killing each other. Fortunately, he knew why he killed, but the person who was killed didn't know why he died.

Turning around, he didn't care about the blood on the sword, and went to hunt down the next one.

…………

The smoke dissipated and the car formation was destroyed. More than 70 people who stayed inside and did not escape chose to surrender. Most of those who escaped before were hacked to death, and the rest also surrendered.

The concubine Mi wiped her sword, controlled the horse, and jumped in from the rope connection connecting the carriages.

Several people from the company tied up those who surrendered, and opened a carriage, revealing piles of iron stirrups, some arrowheads and swords.

These things are urgently needed by the Hu people, and they cannot be bought at the Gaoliu Mutual Market. The quantity alone is enough to sentence these people to death.
