Chapter 157 Stirrups and Riding

Chapter 157 Stirrups and Riding

Since he knew that he had made a mistake and was kicked to the ground where Hu Biao was sitting, he did not forcefully pursue the face of the trainee commander.

Besides! Being called the commander who is always on the street by others seems to have no face at all.

So after I got up, I didn't have any trouble with that Yangma girl.

Instead, in a few words, he simply explained the reason to this big girl, and also apologized, asking the other party not to mind what happened just now.

After hearing Hu Biao's explanation, the older girl said she understood.

In short, after all the above-mentioned things, seven or eight minutes have passed since everyone was summoned.

Seeing this, Hu Biao quickly greeted everyone, brought a lot of supplies on the ground, and walked outside together, preparing to meet the legendary Ban Chao and Ban Dingyuan.

During this process, everyone was very excited that they were about to meet the legendary Ban Dingyuan.

Including veterans such as AT, Fengrui, Xufeng, etc. also have such an expression.

The main thing is not to look at them. Now they have gotten into the third mission. But in terms of historical celebrities, they met Guo Xin, the coach of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, Guo Xin and Guo Shuai have commanded troops and stationed in an isolated city thousands of miles away for the country for decades, so they are naturally a figure worthy of admiration.

But in terms of reputation, it is far inferior to Ban Ding.

How could these country bumpkins calm down at the thought of meeting such a character in a textbook?

Only Yang Dongli walked behind the team, frowning slightly, as if he was worried about something, and was cooperating and hesitating.

The main reason was that in the security guard's echo just now, he could faintly detect the flavor of rhetoric in the other person's words, which also had the flavor of a routine.

Of course, this does not mean that as long as a netizen is good at conversation, he is not a good netizen, or he is a good cannon fodder.

It's just that this kind of person has obviously become one of Lao Yang's key targets; being wary of this kind of person may have some adverse effects on the team and the mission.

If this person is Xu Er again, don't blame him, Old Yang, for being cruel...

Before meeting Ban Chao, Hu Biao never imagined that Ban Dingyuan, a famous person who has been sung by future generations for thousands of years, would actually look like this.

As for his appearance, it is not much different from the description recorded in the history books as "the forehead is like a swallow, and the neck is like a tiger"; specifically, the forehead is relatively pointed and the neck is a bit thick.

However, the image of the organization was quite different from what Hu Biao expected.

Because Ban Chao has a long beard and elegant face, he looks like a handsome middle-aged guy in his forties.

There is no helmet on his head, but a turban on his head, which is the kind Zhuge Kongming wore on his head in the old version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

He had no armor on his body and wore a large red dark coat.

Because this mission was under the orders of the general Dou Gu, the captain of Che, Ban Gu did not hold the kind of banner in his hand that was the emperor's envoy certificate.

But the robe on his body was fluttering in the wind, and his sleeves were fluttering, making him look like a learned scholar rather than a soldier.

From an allusion like Ban Chao's "abandoning his pen and joining the army", Hu Biao could know that the other party was originally a scholar, but the appearance in front of him was quite beyond his expectation.

After all, he couldn't see the slightest bit of warrior temperament in Ban Chao.

As for the other envoy on this mission to the Western Regions, Guo Xun, he was also dressed in a robe; he was a middle-aged man who seemed to be several years older than Ban Chao.

It should be noted that the official envoy in this mission is actually Guo Xun, because his official position is to be Dou Gu's secretary.

Ban Chao's official position is just a fake Sima in the army, that is, he is an acting Sima.

****

After seeing Hu Biao and others appear, Guo Xun sat on a carriage without any reaction.

Instead, he rode a horse to Banchao and said to Hu Biao: "Captain Hu, there is still a long way to go from the Shanshan Kingdom. You must learn to ride quickly so that you can arrive in time."

"Here~" After hearing this, Hu Biao quickly agreed.

He was not surprised at all by the scene in front of him; it was just that the system had made some adjustments to provide an excuse for so many of them, who were novices who couldn't ride a horse, to learn how to ride a horse.

So Hu Biao just said it with a guarantee:

"Don't worry, Ban Sima. Riding a horse is hard to say and easy to say. All you need to do is let them ride on the horse for a long time, and the flesh on their thighs will be worn out a few times and grow back again.

It's certainly not possible to charge into battle on horseback, but it's no problem to ride on horseback."

Facing Hu Biao's statement, Ban Chao seemed quite satisfied and said: "Da Shan, then there will be Team Lao Hu leading the team. You will prepare as soon as possible. We will set off in half an hour."

After saying that, he took a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and started reading, looking more and more like a complete scholar.

At first, when he saw the scroll of bamboo slips, Hu Biao was still a little confused. After a while, he realized that Cai Lun's papermaking technology would not be invented until 20 or 30 years later.

People nowadays do not still use bamboo slips to read books.

So far, Hu Biao's first meeting with Ban Dingyuan ended in this way.

In the following time, I didn't even bother to get to know the situation of the rookies, count the supplies I brought this time, and equip them with equipment.

But the system was quite polite this time, and actually prepared a horse for each person in the team.

Now Hu Biao, AT and other veterans are teaching the newbies how to ride horses.

Among these veterans, even members such as Lao Hei and others who joined on the second mission have learned how to ride on horseback using Tatar horses.

After returning home, almost everyone spent another sum of money to take more than 30 hours of private lessons at the equestrian club.

So now, if you teach newbies how to ride a horse, there won't be any problem at all.

The only problem was that everyone discovered at this moment that these war horses did have saddles, but there was no such thing as stirrups.

Even though the lack of such a simple harness makes riding a horse much more difficult.

My feet were hanging empty on the horse's back. Not only was it very unaccustomed to me without any support, I was also unable to perform many movements.

After trying to get on the horse, but unable to get up because he had nowhere to use his feet, Lang Qing shouted to Hu Biao with a depressed look on his face:

"Lao Hu, you go talk to Guo Xun, Ban Chao and the others. As long as we set off one hour later in the evening, Lao She, Fengrui and I can process enough stirrups.

Although in a hurry and with limited materials, it is possible to make stirrups made of leather and wood, but they can still work."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Hu Biao immediately prepared to report to Ban Chao and Guo Xun.

After taking just a step or two, he stopped walking, turned around and said to the confused people: "No, it's not time to take this thing out yet.

Otherwise, the soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty have not learned it yet, but they have been learned in advance by the barbarians in the Western Regions. Wouldn't it be an advantage to the enemy?

So in order to prevent the Huns from getting stronger, we should overcome it; when subsequent conditions permit, we will take out the stirrups."

Should it be said or not, Hu Biao's concerns are very reasonable.

Often it is just some inconspicuous little things, but they can have an impact that changes history.

So, a group of veterans began to instruct a group of rookies on how to mount a horse and how to maintain balance on the horse, even though they were not so accustomed to it.

After this explanation for ten or twenty minutes, they were asked to lead the horses in a circle.

After an hour, they started to set off; the rookies rode their horses tremblingly and started on their way, shouting loudly.

In such a process, Hu Biao and others also received some surprises.

That is, among the rookies this time, there are actually two who can ride a horse.

One of them is the mixed-race ocean horse girl who was misunderstood by Hu Biao as a bunny girl, and the other is a dark-skinned buddy.

Not only can the two of them ride horses, but their riding skills are also quite good.

It's a pity that the system's grandson's advantage is really not that easy to take advantage of; the war horses it arranged for Hu Biao and others were of such a pedigree as the Mongolian pony.

It was okay for Hu Biao and others to ride on it, but when the mixed-race girl rode on it, the whole style became a bit bizarre.

The weight of 140 kilograms immediately made it difficult for the poor war horse; it could still trot, but it would definitely be more strenuous.

As for this girl, if she had put on a suit of heavy armor and carried a weapon that suited her temperament, it is estimated that these war horses would be crushed immediately.

At the same time, because she is a girl over two meters tall, her pair of legs are long enough to be over 1.34 meters tall.

Now the soles of the feet are almost touching the ground. Just looking at that look is full of an inexplicable sense of joy...
