Chapter 3 Cavalry from Cobain

This time we go to trade, it is not just a simple transaction of goods. Since goods can be traded, can war and politics be traded?

But I didn't expect that there was no airtight wall in the world, and I was finally discovered by Gao Liu's Mo family cavalry and trapped here.

Outside the car array.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi comforted Bai Xing, who was a little excited because he was about to participate in the battle, touched the gunpowder and iron thunder in his saddle bag, and naturally remembered when he first came into contact with this thing.

The year when his father captured King Yi of Yue in the Battle of Hanshui, he was eight years old and had already started to attend school in the village community.

The "sir" who taught them was actually not much older than him. After studying for four or five years, he learned to recognize words and count, and was forced to be arranged to go to schools in various rural areas as a teacher.

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

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

At that time, the horse at home had just given birth to a foal. My father went out to fight and no one cared about him. When my uncle went to drink and release the horse, he climbed onto 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 basic education. It is said that in addition to the expenses of the charity teacher, the Mohist school invested the most money in education.

Most of the people who went to school earlier than him were forced to become teachers and teachers. Even if they only recognize five or six hundred words and can count within a thousand, they are mostly forced to be assigned to rural schools.

The year when Mo Zhai died, the prisoner Mi remembered that he had just graduated. At that time, the system was strict. If the graduated children recognized less than 400 words, they would be fined for money and food at home.

He had excellent grades in the village community at that time. After all, his uncle Shu Qinghou was a disciple who had followed Shi Shi very early. When he returned home during the New Year holiday, he would talk about many things he had never heard of before, and sometimes he would teach him something.

I went to middle school like this. Middle school was no longer compulsory, but went if I wanted to go, and didn’t go if I didn’t. However, the best group of people in the village school middle school were still compulsory, and the Mohist family would provide money, accommodation and daily expenses.

At that time, there was a saying that the food of the nobles of the Song Dynasty and the rice of the nobles of the Yue Dynasty were deceived by the Mo family's workshop and supported the huge untouchable student group in Si Shang.

The gang captive Mi had a good grade in the village and community school, but compared to the entire Si Shang children, it was not that good. The family was enough to let him finish middle school, and his grades were good, so he studied in middle school for another three years.

Three years are a distinction. Those who learn better will enter a better school and continue to learn those profound knowledge. In such a school, disciples will come to teach often, and sometimes they will come to teach a few times.

Those who are not top-notch will be arranged to go to different schools to learn some techniques of "staying safe and benefiting the world".

Jiahe, carpenter, blacksmith, iron smelter, stonemason, potter, medical skills, teachers... all kinds of different categories are for the purpose of being able to have some skills in the future and do better than their parents. Most of them are in the form of semi-working and semi-reading, and they start to learn skills in farms or various workshops early.

The gang captain Mi chose to enter the military academy and became a third-year student at the Basic Military Academy of Si Shang. He originally wanted to learn artillery, but his grades in Geometry and Nine were not very good, so he had to go to the cavalry department.

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

In other words, in the military academy, he first came into contact with the iron thunder that could kill people, although he had touched the musket long ago.

This thing appeared in the battlefield of disputes around the world before he was born. Shangqiu was the place where this thing appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

At that time, the Chu people would panic and think that the sky thunder was thunder.

But after he was born, weapons such as gunpowder were already common in Sishang, especially Peixian. He was a new generation who grew up in an "gunpowder era" environment and never felt that there was any power of ghosts and gods in it.

In his eyes, this is a weapon of murder. Just like when his fathers were as big as him, they knew about bows, crossbows or spears.

It is natural and used to it. The ideas of equality and love in the Mohist school are like this gunpowder. Among the younger generation, there is no need to talk about how to introduce equality. They will naturally feel that equality has been taken for granted since ancient times.

In Gaoliu, these gunpowders are also commonly used. The built border forts often conflict with the Linhu Loufan tribes. Those special-shaped fortresses can be combined with cannons, muskets and iron thunder, and often more than 200 people can defend the attack of thousands.

The strong men in the company have also seen them, and many have used them.

The iron thunder here has been slightly improved and is still in a round shape, but it will use the leather to make a cable, making it easier to exert force when throwing.

A few muskets blasted, calling the prisoner Mi back from his daze. He shook his shoulder, which was a little uncomfortable because he was wearing three layers of leather armor, stepped on his horse, and wrapped the fuse around his waist.

The seven people behind him also boarded the horse and began to slowly move towards the flank of the chariot array covered by thick smoke. At this time, you can't ride faster, you must first cherish your horsepower.

Bai Xing under his crotch had long been used to charging, feeling his master's movements, and took small steps gracefully to warm up before charging with all his might.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi looked at the smoke-covered car array and had carefully observed a shrub before, which was only ten steps away from the car array, which was the best position to throw iron thunder into the car array.

So this requires excellent riding skills, and even more, those with excellent riding skills need to lead the team in front. Once you rush, it will be difficult to control the direction you want to turn back.

If it is close, it may rush to the edge of the car array 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, took out an iron thunder from the saddle bag with his right hand, and the people behind him did the same. Then he clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and his butt seemed to be sitting on the saddle. The bronze spur under his feet gently thrust his mount.

The horse, who had been pressing speed, waited for the stinging pain that made them most excited on the battlefield, spread their four hooves and ran forward wildly.

The sanctioned captain Mi lit the leads on the gunpowder thunder, and early in the morning, he controlled the horse to make a turn when he was more than twenty steps away from the shrub.

The previous acceleration angle determined that it took a distance to turn. This was something that he had scientifically done in the military academy cavalry. In fact, those who rode horses all year round also knew that it was just based on their own experience of escaping death, and he relied on the experience that he could impart after summarizing it.

It was like a strange curve. The bush was near the point where the horse team was closest to the chariot array, and after that point, the horse would be away as if it was thrown away.

As the distance got closer, the prisoner Mi hooked the stirrups with his left foot, leaned his body to the right, held the iron thunder's leather rope tightly in his hand, bent his body into a bow shape to the right, and with the help of the power of his waist, he shouted and threw the iron thunder in his hand out.

Since it has been cast, there is no need to look at it. With the aid of the center, I pull the horse's reins and start turning.

"Enough they've had it."

The illegitimate prisoner Mi thought that more than 200 people were surrounded by the chariot formation, and the explosion of iron thunder was exactly the same.

The explosions behind him kept ringing one after another, and he also rode his horse away from the range of the bow and arrow. He strangled the horse and reorganized the team. If the enemy did not disperse, he would continue to throw in this way of spiral.

However, when he strangled the horse and gathered the seven people behind him to come again, he found that someone had already run out of the smoke and ran around in scattered places, with at least sixty or seventy people.

Looking in the distance, I found that the cavalry of the company had chased after him and launched an assault.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi thought, it seems that there is no need to throw it away. We use the car array because we have cannons, and Lin Hu does not have gunpowder. You only know the skin and learn from us. Wouldn’t you cut your feet and fit your shoes?

He gave a chasing order to attack the comrade behind him, stared at the person who was running away in front, pulled out the iron sword, turned his head and chased the man.

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

"Infantry without formations are like slaughtered lambs in front of the cavalry."

This is a sentence that the gang captain Mi learned in the military academy. He rode his horse forward, quietly turned his head, and marched to the right of the escaped man.

This is the instinct in fighting. The position of the right arm is very important. When fighting normally, when hedging, both sides have their own advantageous arms against the enemy.

But if you cannot highlight the speed of the horse in a chaotic battle, you need to rely on your own riding skills to block the enemy's horse's head, squeeze the opponent's war horse with the horse, and seize the dominant arm position. Side-by-side battles are equal in martial arts, and whoever can grab the left will win.

Of course, there is no need to think too much about it during the pursuit, but the instincts that have been honed during the battle still allow the prisoner Mi to occupy the right position.

The moment the horse's head arrived behind the man, the prisoner Mi bent over and stroked the man's neck with a sword, just like cutting branches at home.

The slight recoil made him curse secretly, and he thought to himself: "Don't cut the bones and the sword blades are broken, but he is still not skilled in using them..."

The thought flashed, and he subconsciously looked back at the person who was hit and was twitching on the ground, thinking that he couldn't survive.

"Poor man. Why did you die?"

He whispered, feeling worthless for the person who was still twitching and not completely dead. The two of them had never met each other, but were killing each other. Fortunately, he knew why he killed someone, but the person who was killed died for no reason.

Turning back, he didn't take the blood on the sword, but went to chase the next one.

…………

The smoke dissipated and the carriage was destroyed. More than 70 people who remained inside and did not escape chose to surrender. Most of the people who ran out were killed and the rest surrendered.

The prisoner Mi wiped his sword, controlled the horse, and jumped in from the connecting rope between the connecting carriages.

Several people from the company tied up the surrendered people and opened a carriage, with piles of iron stirrups exposed inside, as well as some arrowheads and swords.
