When Wei Ran turned over and woke up from his sleep, he saw Zhao Jinyu as soon as he opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" As Wei Ran spoke, he also put away the box cannon that suddenly appeared in his hand under the pillow.
"Eat something. We don't have to go out tonight. My brother-in-law asked Brother Li and I to take you to practice your skills." Zhao Jinyu said as he placed the food on the table.
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly got up. By the time he put on his clothes, Li Sui'an had already brought a large bowl of steaming stick noodle porridge.
There is no need to go on a mission, and the food treatment has also plummeted. Yesterday it was noodles, and today it is cornmeal pancakes, corn porridge with wild vegetables and pickles.
"What skills are you two teaching me?"
Wei Ran asked as he got up. Maybe he drank too much yesterday and thought too much. He slept late this night and slept too hard. He didn't know when the two of them got up.
"It's just a matter of housekeeping"
Zhao Jinyu explained vaguely and immediately urged Wei Ran to eat quickly.
After washing his hands and face indiscriminately, Wei Ran could only suppress his curiosity and sit at the table, and put a bowl of porridge and half a pancake with pickles and dumplings into his not-so-hungry stomach.
After taking a short rest and pooping, Wei Ran put on a full set of weapons and equipment at the urging of Zhao Jinyu and others, and led the biting horse to the wasteland outside.
"The last time you chopped down the Japanese grain transport team, I saw that you chopped them down from top to bottom."
As Li Sui'an spoke, he quickly got on his horse and kept saying, "But the saber we use is different from the Japanese saber. The saber we use has a wide body, a thick back, and a strong and heavy back. If you cut like this, you will easily fall."
When you go down and are about to meet the enemy, you must slow down your horse speed to find the right opportunity."
"That's right"
Wei Ran nodded. Speaking of which, it was his first time to fight immediately. He did cut down several of them, but it was only because Zhao Jinyu was taking care of them that they escaped unscathed.
And the most important thing is that what Li Sui'an just said did happen.
"Let Jin Yu demonstrate it to you later. Run and follow him on his right side to see how he cuts." Li Sui'an said.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Before Wei Ran could agree or not, Zhao Jinyu had already started running.
Seeing this, Wei Ran hurriedly shouted to the biting horse who was sitting down to follow him, maintaining the same speed as the opponent and carefully observing his movements.
During the acceleration phase, Zhao Jinyu almost lay on the horse's back. He first held up the box cannon and pretended to fire a few shots, then stuffed the box cannon into the saddle bag and grabbed the saddle tightly.
At the same time, the right hand that originally held the sword and the reins also slumped and drooped. Even Zhao Jinyu himself leaned forward slightly, further lowering his center of gravity, and at the same time raised the saber in his hand forward to the same level as the horse's mouth.
level!
Not to mention that, seeing the imaginary enemy in front of him, which was made of soil and straw forming the outline of a cavalryman, getting closer and closer, Zhao Jinyu actually urged the horse again to make it run faster!
If an overhead camera captured the next scene and played it frame by frame, Wei Ran could clearly see that when his horse was still four or five meters away from the imaginary enemy, he was already stepping on the stirrups with both feet.
While he straightened his body, he raised his sword and slashed horizontally, and with the help of the reaction force of the saber hitting the back, shoulder and neck of the imaginary enemy, he sat back on the saddle.
That's not all, Zhao Jinyu then lowered the horse's speed and movements and demonstrated it again.
"This is for cutting down cavalry. The spears are mainly aimed at the opponent's horses. Unless they are surrounded, there is no need to think about hitting them. The target is too small to hit."
Zhao Jinyu said and started running again, "The next step is to kill the infantry."
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly urged his horse to follow him again, carefully observing the opponent's movements.
He still tried to lower his body as close as possible to the horse's back during the charging stage, but this time Zhao Jinyu did not rush to shoot. Instead, he put the saber blade forward on the stirrup, and waited until the stalks acting as imaginary enemies were closer.
Likewise, he accelerated his body again and leaned forward, and stretched out his saber diagonally to take advantage of the situation.
After easily chopping down a straw, he also used the upward movement to sit on the horse again, and while regaining his center of gravity, he twisted his wrist and made another downward chop.
After going through this cycle for several times, he also pulled out the box cannon with his left hand and pretended to fire it to demonstrate.
Still doing the same slow motion as before, Li Sui'an also followed up on horseback and reminded, "When fighting cavalry, shoot the people first and the horses. If you can't hit the people, shoot the horses. If you can't hit the neck, then chop the hands. Just paddle."
A little, and you'll have an advantage in the second round.
In addition, the Japanese cavalry are accustomed to stabbing near the chest. If you lean forward and lean forward, you can easily chop them into the air. As long as you grasp the timing well, you can hit the horse's back with the knife even if it misses, but at least it can hurt the horse's belly and legs."
"When fighting infantry, try to shoot above the creaking nest. Don't fire bursts from the box cannon. It's for life-saving purposes. The first time you raise the knife is mainly to knock away the enemy's bayonet."
Zhao Jinyu also reminded, "Also, when fighting infantry, try to increase the speed of your horse. It doesn't matter if you don't hit the first time. There are plenty of opportunities. As long as your horse runs fast enough, just scaring the infantry on the opposite side will scare you."
If you lose your courage, it will be much easier when you wait for the second round to rush."
"This is all..."
"In exchange for human life," Li Sui'an sighed, cheered up again and said, "Come on! Brother Wei, come and try!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded, held the saber and wrapped the cloth around its ring, and started chopping practice following Zhao Jinyu's demonstration just now.
This is a life-and-death technique, and the seriousness of health science, Zhao Jinyu and Li Sui'an also taught it without reservation.
After practicing individual chopping, they invited Wei Ran to join them in team chopping, and even found some fake knives made of wood wrapped in rags to practice sparring with.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was such a fulfilling afternoon, Wei Ran was sweating from being drilled, and even the horse was hit hard on the buttocks by Zhao Jinyu with a wooden knife as if to avenge himself.
Beat it a few times.
Of course, after this morning's sparring, Wei Ran couldn't say that his skills were perfect. At least, every move was precise and precise, and he would not follow his own wild ways.
They didn't have to cross the river in the Yellow Flood Area to conduct reconnaissance that night, but Wei Ran was still waving that inflexible saber in his dreams. As expected, when he woke up again, his shoulders were particularly sore.
pain.
Zhao Jinyu and Li Sui'an seemed to have anticipated this incident, so before going to bed last night, they had prepared a bottle of medicinal wine and placed it on the table.
Why can't Living Ancestor issue a skill quest? This time I learned it myself...
Wei Ran couldn't help but murmur to himself when Zhao Jinyu applied medicinal wine and massaged his arm muscles. He vaguely felt that the Living Ancestor most likely just wanted to see him suffer!
"Du—! Du! Du! Du! Du!"
Just as he was thinking wildly, a sharp and piercing whistle suddenly sounded in the garden outside.
"Quick! Assemble!"
Zhao Jinyu and Li Sui'an reacted very quickly and picked up their sabers and long and short spears, and also picked up their respective Kowloon belts.
Wei Ran's reaction was also not slow. He also picked up weapons and equipment, fastened the buttons of his coat and ran out of the wing.
"Xiao Bai! What's going on!" Zhao Jinyu shouted and asked as he ran.
"The Third Company's investigation found that a group of Japs emerged across the river. The leader asked our company to rush to support and find a way to kill those Japs!" Before Bai Yuguang could finish his words, he ran into the backyard where the horses were kept.
"Brother Wei, you will be between us when the time comes." Li Sui'an reminded as he ran.
"good!"
Wei Ran, who had already put on his coat, responded, hurriedly put on the Kowloon belt, and then slung the carbine on his shoulder.
The three of them hurriedly ran into the backyard to saddle up and mount their horses, and then began to assemble under the urging of a slightly changed whistle.
In less than ten minutes, the cavalry company stationed here had completed its assembly on the wasteland.
"Gawa girls!"
The regiment leader shouted loudly on his horse, "Kill! No one will be spared!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The surrounding cavalry responded while tapping their stirrups with their sabers.
"rush!"
Before Ma Jintao finished speaking, he had already rushed out at the lead.
Under his leadership, about two hundred cavalry rushed out of the wasteland and stepped on the flooded Yellow River to the other side.
At this time, there are already two cavalry waiting for them!
Without stopping at all, the two cavalrymen ran at the front, leading them towards the battlefield.
After galloping along for more than thirty minutes, they finally met up with the third company of cavalry behind a sand dune.
"Brother Ma!" The company commander of the third company took the initiative to say hello to Ma Jintao.
"What's going on?" Ma Jintao asked.
"On the opposite avenue, there is a Japanese transport squadron, at least one infantry squadron and more than 200 puppet troops, led by five large trucks."
The commander of the third company pointed in one direction with the hand holding the telescope and introduced. "When we found them, these Japanese soldiers had just come out of Huaiyang City. They were probably going to transport something."
"No Japs Cavalry?"
"There are only a dozen or so on horseback on guard," the third company commander replied with a smile, "I guess it was because you guys hit us so hard in the past two days."
"You want to wait until they come back to fight?"
"That's the plan"
The third company commander nodded, "What if there is some in-demand goods inside, we can..."
“I’m afraid not”
Ma Jintao waved his hand, "The captain wants us to follow him from a distance. We will attack when we are far enough away from Huaiyang City, leaving no one behind."
"That's fine, just listen to the commander." The third company commander was particularly easy to talk to.
"A squadron has been dispatched this time."
Ma Jintao murmured with satisfaction, "This time we will feed them thoroughly and make sure not to leave any one alive."
With that said, Ma Jintao greeted, "Wangchuan, map."
"Coming"
Li Sui'an, who had been waiting nearby, immediately unfolded the map he had prepared in advance, and at the same time controlled the sat red horse to come between the two company commanders.
"Looking at the direction they are traveling, they should be walking along this avenue. How about we go around in a circle and start here?"
Ma Jintao pointed to a location on the map and asked, "That place is not flooded, and the ground is solid enough to run. Let's rush first when the time comes."
"Listen to Brother Ma's arrangements!" the third company commander replied without thinking.
"Walk!"
Ma Jintao shouted, and he and the third company commander started a roundabout battle with their respective cavalry companies.
Running fast and slowly along the way, Wei Ran also took the opportunity to take pictures and saw many corpses along the way.
Some of those stones were lying on the roadside, some were hanging from tree trunks on the roadside and had their clothes stripped off, and some had been eaten away, leaving only the bones.
"They all starved to death, or they were too hungry to survive and simply hanged themselves."
Li Sui'an, who went hand in hand with Wei Ran, took the initiative to remind, "Cover your nose with a towel, otherwise there will be an epidemic."
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded, took out the white towel that was originally placed around his neck and stuffed into his collar, wrapped it around his face, and tied it tightly at the back of his head, leaving only his eyes exposed.
After running for more than an hour in this tragic scene of broken mountains and rivers, the two cavalry companies also hid in an abandoned village filled with a faint smell of corpses, quietly observing the road in the distance.
"It shouldn't be here yet," Li Sui'an said in a low voice, "There aren't even any ruts on the road."
"Xiao Bai, arrange for a few people to keep an eye on the situation, while the rest rest where they are." Ma Jintao gave the order decisively.
"Come with me!"
Bai Yuguang said hello, and immediately several cavalrymen followed him to the edge of the deserted village.
Seeing that there was no work arranged for him, Wei Ran simply hid in the distance and took a few photos of the two cavalry, and then helped the black horse wipe its body, and just like last time, he took advantage of feeding food
While feeding her with water, she braided her ponytail into a braid.
This time they didn't have to wait long. Bai Yuguang brought people back to report that he had found clues about the enemy. Everyone who had been resting immediately collected various items, got on their horses and got ready.
Soon after, in the direction of the end of the field of vision, a team that could be called a mighty one, and it looked like there could be four to five hundred people, gradually appeared.
The team was led by five shit-green trucks. Behind the trucks were two groups of puppet troops, followed by the Japanese transport team and a neatly-organized infantry squadron.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the five trucks and a few cavalrymen wandering around the team were the first to run over, followed by the puppet and Japanese transport teams.
However, Ma Jintao still did not give the order until the Japanese infantry had almost reached the position closest to them.
"Draw the sword!"
Just when the last member of the Japs team finally pointed his butt at the crowd, Ma Jintao suddenly issued an order.
With a clanking sound, the cavalrymen lifted up their sharply polished sabers.
"Open the Heavenly Gate!"
Ma Jintao roared and led many cavalry towards the enemy who were only one or two hundred meters away!
