Chapter 972 Electric hoof disease, ape-armed bow, reorganization of Yanyun riding and shooting
Xiao Tang, who has now left Xiaojiaji, brought his three brothers Bian Xiang, Yan Qing and Xiao Yi to Daming Mansion. It is adjacent to the official road, but is surrounded by mountains and forests. Previously, he had met with Wu Song and Shi Bao.
In the courtyard near Yujiatuan, heroes with excellent sword skills competed with each other.
Xiao Tang, who had previously faked his death and returned to the Song Dynasty, since he bought this villa, the surrounding wine shops have been managed by his confidants, and almost all the people living there are close confidants. This is also suitable for Xiao Tang in the officialdom and the green forest.
While walking between the two sides, he contacted his close friends who gathered together in the green forest, and even changed his identity and reappeared under another name, causing several big storms again.
However, Xiao Tang didn't know at the moment that Lu Junyi, who had been reminiscing over wine with him before, had been escorted by the official, and he swallowed his anger and was taken into custody in the Daming Mansion's Residency Department.
The sound of horse hooves outside the manor is endless, and the knights on horseback send out sharp whistles from time to time. Although the horsemen coming and going are dressed as villagers, they are all skilled in bow and horse. In terms of riding and shooting skills, they can compete with the North.
A long and short athlete of the local nomadic elite, riding a galloping horse, all dressed in black thin felt cloaks and black cloth clothes. Not only are the men like fine steel men, but the horses under their crotches are all from Zengtou City.
Horses with tall heads, long legs, and shiny black bodies were selected from the horse ranches and even the horse herding prisons under Xiao Tang's name. Although there were only twenty-three horses that came and went to guard the outposts, they were as powerful as thousands of horses.
These twenty-three horse-riding and archery athletes are not only selected from the Xiao family, but also have close friends who know all the major events in the green forest of Xiaotang. In addition to the reckless heroes among the soldiers and horses in the green forest, there are also Yanyunbei
Born in the local area, he was trained in Baozhou, Liaodong and other places. He was a horse racing man who could ride a good horse and shoot a strong bow since he was a child. Like the Bohai Navy in Liaodong, the Yan Youyi brothers were good at riding and followed them.
The Bohai Cavalry Archer was previously a rider who could fight with the Liao Kingdom's Yuanlanzi Army with their cavalry and archery skills. Combined with these days of targeted training, Xiao Tang also obtained the skills of Yelu Xiu Ge, Yelu Xiezhen and other famous Northern Dynasty generals.
The cavalry, archery, and marching tactics need to be taught a little, and the quality of individual soldiers is even higher than that of the eighteen Yanyun cavalry who were only selected from the Xiao family in Xiaotang.
After conquering Hedong Tianhu and participating in a series of wars such as the Song-Xia National War, the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry who followed Xiao Li Guanghuarong, who was unparalleled in bow and arrow skills, only had five people left at this time.
Each of those cavalry archers can be called elite archers and horses, and they all have the talent to lead an army of cavalry archers. However, the number of them is indeed too small.
As early as when Xiao Tang and Hua Rong were conquering Hedong Tianhu, the confidant brothers who were in charge of Baozhou and Qingzhou in Liaodong and other subordinate groups under Xiao Tang each received instructions from their elder brothers through letters, and then selected the ones who were best at riding and shooting.
Erlang, first trained in drills and entrusted with the ministry. During this period, he experienced the Xiaotang class and returned to Beijing. He was ordered to go to Bianting to participate in the Song and Xia wars. Later, Hua Rong was promoted due to his military exploits and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of Jingdong East Road.
As for the official duties, all the riding and archery athletes from all over the country have also been secretly transferred to the Xiaojiaji area of Daming Prefecture to assemble.
Most of these twenty-three horse-riding and archery athletes were born in the Han family. Even the Khitan and Bohai tribesmen were very familiar with the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Xiao Tang planned to pay them and temporarily dispatch them to Hua Rong's tent to take orders.
Although it takes some effort to obtain military status, Hua Rong is now in charge of the army and horses, and he has recruited these generals to join the army. The number does not violate the laws of the army, and he cannot recruit generals who are not officials.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the remaining five Yanyun cavalry and archers plus the twenty-three are the Twenty-Eight Cavalry...Twenty-eight...Although it does not match the name of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, Xiao
Tang Xin said that he didn't drive just because he had a disagreement. Such a powerful cavalry team, which was good at riding and shooting, was capable of carrying out special combat missions when the war was at a stalemate and was led by a good general who was the best in riding and shooting skills. Ten more people could be added.
Elite, there is no need to be too rigid in number and name...
Suddenly there was another sharp whistle. After returning from Daming Mansion, Xiao Yi, who had followed Xiao Tang to the village courtyard, stepped forward and reported to Xiao Tang: "Brother, what's going on over there in Qingzhou?" The brother who came to pick him up will arrive soon, so I will go to pick him up now."
After all, it is better to sail the ten thousand year ship with caution. After Xiao Tang arrived at the mansion here, Bian Xiang, Xiao Yi and others sent their trusted followers to patrol around, carefully guarding against outsiders who might see their brother meeting the leader of the Cao Mang strongman here, and then there was a When I sent my companions to the Green Forest Village, they were afraid of any eventuality, and they also had to eliminate the possibility of anyone breaking into the affair between Xiao Tang and the powerful man from Green Forest.
After hearing Xiao Yi's report, Xiao Tang also nodded in agreement. Not long after, he saw Xiao Yi leading a pair of men who looked very similar into the manor. One of the men was over seven feet tall and purple. Tang-colored complexion, with a slender waist and broad shoulders. There is another man who is also over seven feet tall and has a round face and a dark body. Both men sewed tiger skins to make clothes and put them tightly together to make them look like hunters. Although the weather was cool It's cold, but one of the men's leopard skin pants was rolled up a few inches, revealing half of the flying yaksha with a tattoo on his leg.
After the pair of men looked at Xiao Tang, they immediately bowed their heads and bowed. One of the men said first: "My younger brother Xie Zhen, and my brother Xie Bao were in the countryside because they were in trouble with the government. The big man-eating insect in Dengzhou was framed and imprisoned by Taigong Mao and Kong Mu Wangzheng of the Sixth Case. He was rescued by Sun Tiha, cousin Gu, uncle Lehe and others, but was arrested by the lawsuit but had no one. The place to surrender. Fortunately, all the heroes in Erlong Mountain are like-minded and have taken us in. It is hard to repay such a great kindness! Then I heard from Lehe and his uncle that Xiao Renxia, who is famous all over the world, is actually the leader of the whole group of mountains in the green forest. , it’s really a surprise encounter between us two brothers!”
Jie Zhen's brother Jie Bao also said loudly, relying on his brother's words: "Xiao Renxia's reputation is heard all over the world, who doesn't respect him? I originally planned to find a place to settle down, but I didn't want to be able to share the righteousness with such a heroic brother! We brothers The two of them, even their relatives and friends from Dengzhou who joined Dazhai, have come and gone through water and fire. These few lives are willing to be sold to Xiao Renxia, and they are only willing to help brother Xiao Tang achieve his goal. event!"
Xiao Tang also immediately stepped forward to support the two brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. When he took a closer look at the two of them, he saw that although they were also young, they looked like majestic and resolute men with clenched teeth and hair. The hero who has a complexion that makes him want to fly to the sky and fall to the ground, uproot trees and shake mountains, has different teachings: Shiben Dengzhou Orion, born to be brave and heroic. He can run through mountains and ridges as strong as a rooster, and elk will be frightened when he sees it. Holding a lotus iron fork in his hand, a cattail leaf-pointed knife hanging from his waist. Wearing a leopard-skin skirt and tiger-veined sash, he solved the dilemma of his young age.
"Since we are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite to outsiders."
Xiao Tang nodded and said, then turned to Xiao Yi and said: "Brother Xiao Yi, the brothers of the Jie family not only have amazing martial arts, but they are also top-notch in terms of their ability to climb mountains and ridges in Bashan and track and hunt in dense forests. They are near Dengzhou. The hunters of the world must also let their pair of two-headed snakes and two-tailed scorpions be the first. You, a green falcon, are not only good at feeding and domesticating gyrfalcons and eagles, but you are also good at hunting in the forest. But hunting in the mountains , tracking trails, or dealing with powerful enemies in the forest, you have to ask the Jie family brothers for advice."
The two-headed snake interprets treasures, and the two-tailed scorpion interprets treasures. These two heroes who are accustomed to hunting in the mountains have joined the green forest village under their command. Xiao Tang has already made up his mind to select some hunters from various places. The brave brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, who were accustomed to crossing mountains, formed a mountain infantry unit. Although the two brothers were only Orions, the ability to lead troops on marches was probably still left to Lin Chong. , Xu Ning, Yang Zhi and other brothers who were military officers were easy to give advice, but when the two of them were successful in their studies and were able to command an army, they were like the Hengshan Qiangbuzi of the Xia Kingdom who were accustomed to the mountains. The types of military units used in combat will certainly be miraculous when fighting on the battlefield in the future.
"Brother is right. Although my younger brother often leads some Orion warriors to hunt outside in the Xiao family, and they only hunt some birds and beasts, they may not be of much use when fighting against powerful enemies in the mountains and forests. My younger brother has domesticated falcons. , I am also about to ask a hero who is good at hunting for advice, so I can grow more skills so that I can help my brother."
Xiao Yi said loudly to Xiao Tang, then he bowed his hands to brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, and said: "I am honored to be reunited with two heroes of the Jie family. My brother asked me not to neglect him. I will look forward to seeing you two brothers in the future." Xiao Yi thanked you in advance for your kindness."
