Chapter 332: Zhang Liao(2/2)
In addition to these language studies, Zhang Liao also needed to learn some scriptures. Although it was not much, he must be able to read and write, because this was a compulsory study for the good families in the six counties.
But these literature and arts are just embellishments in Zhang Liao's life of more than ten years. All the good family members in the six counties only have three things on their way to growth, that is, swords, bows, and horses.
Zhang Liao got his first real sword from his father when he was ten years old. Before that, he had used wooden swords for several years to train basic fighting skills. Zhang Liao spent his childhood playing with knives.
After he grows up, Zhang Liao will join the hunting with the wealthy sons of Yanmen.
Only during hunting could these frontier warriors master archery and horse fighting skills and mounted warfare tactics. Because hunting is the activity closest to war, this can be seen from the Xianbei people.
The reason why the Xianbei people are natural cavalry is because they have a lot of hunting activities and have honed their combat skills and coordination.
But the Xianbei people's training is just like cavalry at best. It is completely different from the Liujun Liangjiazi's method of cultivating knights and warriors.
Hunting by Han knights is almost like a small war.
Every son of a wealthy family must prepare his own food, riding, war horses, and weapons. Then once he hunts, he must endure pain and obey military laws regardless of whether it is cold or hot, whether he has enough sleep or not.
During hunting, a qualified knight from the Six Counties must understand the habits of prey, learn to observe the hunting ground, be able to deal with various emergencies from his mount, and most importantly, use the sword and bow in his hand to kill.
In this way, Zhang Liao would participate in hunting with his friends from Yanmen every year, and his patience, courage, and combat skills grew from this process.
Although Zhang Liao is young, he is very brave.
Among his peers, he is most praised for his bow skills. He can shoot hundreds of shots without interruption during hunting, and he can also shoot at the sky. He is already at the level of a prairie archer.
But hunting can only hone the riding, shooting and coordination of the children of the six counties, but he cannot hone the impact of cavalry fighting.
For the knights of the Han family, their world-leading ability is the impact of a horse, and several Han family sudden riders cooperate in a battle formation, so that one man can act as five barbarians.
Therefore, in order to practice the cavalry tactics, Zhang Liao also participated in the local cavalry competition in Yanmen. This is a competition in which each other uses a headless horse to attack each other.
Because of the danger, there are only a few people who can participate. Therefore, in order to hone their combat skills, heroes like Zhang Liao need to travel to several places in Yanmen, Beidi, Shangjun, and Anding. It is also through this kind of competition that the children of the six counties have
their respective social circles.
This time Zhang Liao participated in the recruitment of Han Emperor Liu Hong because he was invited by a friend.
This man is Fu Xun, a wealthy family in the north. After his family is Fu Jiezi, his uncle is Fu Xie. Fu Xie was left by Zhang Wen to guard Xingyang, but later he decisively abandoned the army and left during the Henan Shi rebellion.
I originally wanted to go back to Kyoto directly, but I didn't know about the national western inspection until we were on the way, so I rushed to Chang'an without stopping and stood on Liu Hong's side.
During this western expedition against the Kwantung Army, many generals in Kansai sided with Liu Hong. As far as one county in the North was concerned, the Fu family, the Liang family, and the Xie family all sacrificed their outstanding sons and vowed to
To win this battle.
