Chapter 167: No One Can Fight Across the Battlefield
After saying goodbye to all the adults, Qin Guan walked to Zheng Da and others again. These people were his friends of the same year, so they said goodbye one by one again.
Finally, Qin Guan said to his elder brother Qin Wei: "Brother, take good care of grandma and mother. If you have any problems at home, you can send someone to inform me at any time."
Qin Wei said: "Second brother, please go to work with peace of mind, and I will take care of you at home."
Qin Guan and Chen Yichen boarded the big ship, stood on the deck, waved to everyone who saw him off. The big ship slowly left the dock, and the figures became smaller and smaller. After all, Qin Guan and Shen Yichen returned to the cabin.
The days that follow are every step or every step.
After about half a month of traveling, I finally arrived in Lingzhou.
Everyone got off the boat and stepped on the ground, and they felt like they were reborn as human beings. Everyone settled in the inn. Qin Mao, Xiong Daxiong Er, Erbao, Chen Yichen's butler and others came to the local dental shop to buy horses and rent a carriage.
The State of Da Zhao stipulates that the transaction of cattle, horses and livestock must go through a tooth shop. The price of a tooth shop may be higher, but there are some guarantees.
The Great Zhao Kingdom was in the Central Plains and had a long battle with Liao and Xixia in the north. It had no good horse herding land, so it was short of horses and even better war horses.
Yazi brought everyone to Niuma Market, patted one of the tall and strong horses and said, "The best Hequ horse, one of which is 80 yuan, was transported from the north two days ago. It is rare in other places. If you don't want it, you will be sent to the south in a few days."
Erbao exclaimed: "8 o'clock is too expensive, and other horses are thirty or forty o'clock each."
Yazi said, "Can this be compared? The ones with thirty or forty stalked Mongolian horses, and even the southwest horses with short feet. Look at these horses, but the authentic Hequ high horses, only such horses are given to the court at the level of generals or above."
"These horses are from the same piece, three or four years old, they are not injured, and they are trained, so they can ride them by hand. You are in the south of the country, and you can't buy them if you lose a hundred stalemates." Jiudian Chinese website
Qin Mao turned around the horses, looked at them one by one, and finally said, "I want all 4 horses."
Teeth shakes her head like a rattle.
"It's too little, too little, and you'll never sell it. It's better to go to the south."
Qin Mao said: "Hold hands."
Yazi was stunned and then smiled, "Expert, then hold hands."
Erbao asked Xiong Er curiously, "What are they doing?"
Xiong Er said: "They are discussing prices. This is the case in the bull and horse market, and we will negotiate prices."
The big sleeves covered the hands of the two, and the two of them tinkered in it for a while. In the end, each horse was sold for 72 kilns. The price was not low, but it was not considered a scam.
Then I bought four pairs of full sets of horse harnesses.
After buying the horse, I rented ten large carts in the Yasper. It’s not that I can’t afford it, but the carts need people to drive. There are so many carts, and there are ten carts that they can’t get it. Five carts are used to pull people, and the remaining five are used to pull things.
Xiong Daxiong Er touched the horse and couldn't let it go. As soon as he put on the harness, the two of them turned over to the horse, shook the reins and ran on the dirt road next to him.
The two of them disappeared and they came back after a while, with excitement and joy, "What a good horse, it's so exciting to run."
"Brother, will this be our war horse from now on?"
"Of course."
"I'll go ride for another round." Xiong Er said.
"There is time on the road in the future, and we have to go to the dock to unload our luggage. It is important to do serious things first."
Everyone brought the carriage to the dock. There were still several servants of Shen Yichen guarding their luggage on the boat. The carriage was hired and everyone began to unload the goods.
Good guy,
Full of five major cars of luggage.
After resting for a night, everyone came out again. In fact, it was the most tiring thing in ancient times, and sometimes it could be exhausting.
Qin Guan said: "It's tiring to sail, but it's still comfortable. It's even more tiring to walk 6 routes. After half a month of sailing, we've walked halfway, and for the remaining halfway, we'll have to walk about one month."
Everything was ready to stop. After breakfast at the inn, the team went out again.
This time, Qin Guan changed into a strong outfit, and instead of riding a horse, four horses, one for Qin Guan, one for each of Xiong Daxiong and two for each person, Qin Guan also gave Chen Yichen one.
Qin Guan learned horse riding before, but he was in an equestrian club. He now has an annual card, but it is mostly leisure-oriented, so it would be nice to just trot and run quickly. In the future, he would have to ride a war horse and wield the overlord gun, so he naturally had to step up training.
After leaving Lingzhou City, the convoy was running slowly, but Qin Guan took Xiong Daxiong Er to run around. After returning, Xiong Da said, "Young Master, your riding skills are equivalent to just getting started, and there are still many places to practice in the future."
"In the future, you will be my equestrian coach." Qin Guan said.
Xiong Dadao: "The Liao Kingdom, Xixia, and Tubo people all grew up on horseback and were in contact since childhood, but we Zhongyuan people drove and walked on boats, so our equestrians never could compare to them."
"When I started practicing equestrianism, my family was poor and couldn't afford to buy horses. My brothers rode on wooden stakes to practice various movements. Sometimes the inner side of both legs was red and swollen, and we were often inseparable from standing horse stance."
"Later, the master paid for a horse, and our brothers took turns to practice, so we gradually gained some level. However, when the master passed away, we sold the horse and used the money to bury the master."
"My master told us that the key to riding a horse is: straight body, shoulders, cantilevered hands, lower heels, high toes, weak knees, loose waist, and leverage force to penetrate the air."
"When you practice to the point where you can control the horses freely without using the reins, you will be able to achieve the state of unity of human and horses without any deliberate command, and you will naturally be able to do the movements you want and gallop along the battlefield with you."
Qin Guan thought it was already difficult to control the horse without using the reins, but this was Xiaocheng. Think about it, if you still use your hands to control the horse, how can you fight with your weapons? Which one you have ever seen will be holding a weapon with one hand?
Since it doesn't work,
Then practice.
It happened to be this month, I practiced equestrian while walking, and I wanted to come faster.
From this day on, the team began to embark on its itinerary.
I rush on the road during the day, and if I encounter a town at night, I will take a break. If I don’t have one, I will choose to camp outside.
These days, Qin Guan always rides a horse and occasionally runs for a while.
He has strong physical strength and good coordination, and he has no shortage of basic horse riding. His riding skills have made great progress during this period. After twenty days, he can already hold a bully gun in both hands, and can control the horse freely without using the reins.
