"Hunting?"

Su Shi was stunned. Although he is an important player in the Wuhao Ancient System, this is the first time he has returned to Jiehe Business City. Therefore, I don't know that Wu Haogu, the head of the world, loves hunting...... This activity was not very popular in the Song Dynasty, and it was also relatively negative, even if you soak in the Qinglou, it is better than killing small animals outside all day long!

Wu Yanzhao also remembered at this time that it was the first time for Su Shi to come to Jiehe Commercial Market, so he explained with a smile: "Jiehe Commercial Market is different from Kaifeng Mansion, and the people are fierce, so the things we play are not very different. Safaris, horse racing, polo, archery, and fencing are all played by many people, and the government office and the city department of Jiehe Shang City often organize some related competitions, and the winners of the competition can also get high rewards. ”

"I see." Su Shi nodded, not looking too surprised. In fact, the folk customs of the Song Dynasty were not particularly weak, that is, in the city of Kaifeng, sumo wrestling was also very popular, and the court often held competitions.

However, the participants in the competition were all rude wrestlers, and there were no officials and scholars. Oh, it's not for nothing, as early as the time of the Taizu Dynasty, there was even a thing where talented people who participated in the imperial examination wrestled and competed for the top prize! The jinshi of that era were all good at archery and fencing. And now, a right-list Jinshi of Yunwen Yunwu has caused a big controversy, which is really speechless.

……

With a whoosh, I saw a three-uneven feather arrow coming out of the string. The castration was extremely fast, and it pounced straight on a sika deer running in a panic. Then there was a pop and stabbed into the body of the sika deer, and the injured animal struggled to run for a while before falling to its knees.

"Father-in-law mighty!"

As the sika deer fell, the sound of cheers resounded throughout the wasteland.

Naturally, it is Wu Haogu who shoots arrows and shoots deer, and he still maintains the posture of letting go of the strings. His face was as calm as water, without a hint of joy or anger. Around him were a number of young knights, and the sound of cheers was made by them. Needless to say, these young knights all belong to Wu Haogu's dummy army.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old knight immediately rode out, ran towards the seriously injured sika deer, drew his long sword, leaned forward, aimed the blade at the neck of the sika deer, and slashed it gently, blood sprayed out.

Driving horses, drawing swords, and stabbing deer, all in one go, each action is just right. Then the young knight put his sword into its sheath, turned his horse's head, and ran again to the dying deer, leaned down again, grabbed the hind legs of the deer, and lifted it on the horse's back.

Needless to say, this action is extremely chic.

"Wu Tian, that's good!" Wu Haogu smiled and said to the young man, "The kung fu on horseback has grown. ”

This young man is one of the first four fake sons of Wu Haogu, named Wu Tian. It was a slave of the divination species that was bought when Wu Haogu was an envoy to Xijin Mansion in his early years. He was only ten years old at the time, but now more than five years have passed, and he has grown into a fifteen-year-old young man.

"The child can have today, thanks to the cultivation of the father-in-law!"

When the young Wu Tian heard Wu Haogu's praise, he bowed on horseback, and did not forget to compliment his benevolent father.

And Wu Haogu really deserves his compliments, because he did spend a lot of money to cultivate Wu Tian.

Wu Tian is a "slave cavalry", but by no means a "bargain cannon fodder". On the contrary, he is an elite knight who has spent a lot of money training and equipping Wu Haogu.

Kung fu on horseback, the skill of dismounting and fighting, as well as the archery technique of piercing through the Yang in 100 steps, and of course, amazing endurance, are all indispensable for long-term hard training and dedication.

In addition, Wu Haogu also equipped Wu Tian with a war horse with a shoulder height of four feet and six inches, a composite bow with buffalo horns, a good three-in-one arrow, a well-made horse and a long sword, as well as a good leather armor, cloth armor, helmets, and other miscellaneous auxiliary weapons, and recently even equipped him with a strange-looking crossbow machine. The cost of this equipment and horses alone has exceeded 600 yuan.

And in the process of growing up, he also broke a lot of equipment, rode a lot of horses, and a coach who was very skilled in martial arts and riding was responsible for training.

Wu Tian can have today's skills, and Wu Haogu spent at least 1200 yuan! And for many years to come, Wu Haogu will have to continue to spend a lot of money on him!

It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of slave cavalry is piled up with silk and copper coins!

Today, more than 1,000 horsemen and horses hunted on the north bank of the Jiehe River with Wu Haogu, a wasteland belonging to the Liao Kingdom, everyone is the same as Wu Tian, and they are the elite of Wu Haogu's training and equipment at great expense.

The thousand fake knights cost at least more than one million Wu Haogu, not counting the investment in establishing the dummy legion barracks, horse farms and training grounds on the north bank of the Jiehe River.

If it weren't for the dispatch of the Lifting Jiehe City Bo Division, and the "Northern Grain and Southern Transportation", a transaction that can generate a lot of cash flow, Rao is a rich master like Wu Haogu would also be unable to turn around because of these thousand fake knights.

How much it costs to keep an elite cavalry in an agrarian society is completely clear by looking at the cost of these fake knights.

And in order to make this huge amount of money useful, as long as Wu Haogu was in Jiehe Commercial City, he would try his best to find time to come to Hebei and go hunting in the wild with his group of young knights.

In the eyes of the civil officials and doctors of the Song Dynasty, the safari was a complete waste of life, not a proper job, and worse than prostitution. But Wu Haogu, who really raised an elite cavalry, knew that safari was the best way to train and test cavalry tactics.

If you don't pull the cavalry out into the field, just relying on the exhibition in the barracks and school yards in Kaifeng Fucheng, there is no way to know whether this cavalry has real skills.

And this cavalry that Wu Haogu spent a lot of money to raise is obviously a real kung fu!

Needless to say, the knightly martial arts of these young knights are mostly young people from the grassland, who were sold as commodities after the Khitans conquered the tribe, and they were also grown on horseback, so they were naturally easy to practice.

In addition, compared with the group of knights in Beicang Prefecture, there is a big difference, they are not scattered and go back to their own homes, but live together and practice together for many years. Moreover, they are still equipped with the same set of standard training, and the intimacy and familiarity with each other have reached the level of "infernal". So you can play a near-perfect tactical fit!

In the past few days of hunting, the fake sons of Wu Haogu demonstrated the tactical cooperation of various ten-horse squads - don't underestimate this kind of "ten-horse cooperation", according to Murong Wangwu, a military division tactician, the importance of the battle of the ten horsemen is actually more important than the decisive battle of thousands of horses.

Because the most important role of cavalry on the battlefield is not to conduct battle in formation, but to disperse into squads for reconnaissance, search and cover. Wu Haogu's thousand fake sons were scattered into a hundred and ten cavalry teams, and thousands of miles of battle lines could be shielded and controlled. If the opponent does not have cavalry that can be fought against, it is blind, deaf, and knows nothing, and still fights?

If the opponent also has a lot of light cavalry available, then it will be better than anyone's cavalry. And at this time, the Ten Cavalry that can play tactical coordination is definitely more powerful than the light cavalry that is temporarily put together!

In the past few days, they have demonstrated a variety of cavalry squad tactics such as tracking, combined attacks, ambushes, luring the enemy, ten-horse charges, and crossbow raids.

In the eyes of Wu Haogu, a semi-layman, it is very good, but I don't know how to perform in actual combat?

"Fifth brother!" Wu Haogu skillfully put away his bow and arrows, and then summoned Murong Parrot, who was in charge of the False Child Legion, to the front, "How is the method of the Hundred Horsemen Wheel Battle?" ”

The "Hundred Cavalry Wheel Battle" was a tactic designed by Murong Wangwu based on the report sent back by Zhao Zhongge and Ma Zheng from the Jurchen Wanyan Department. In fact, it is a wall charge with a hundred horsemen as a team, and it is a wheel battle! The thousand-man legion was divided into ten hundred-cavalry teams and launched a series of attacks on the weak points of the enemy formation. And only impact, not fighting, and retreat after rushing, making way for follow-up impacts.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to practice. For example, the Western Xia Iron Harrier and the Khitan Iron Forest Army also charged on the battlefield, and they fought hand-to-hand when they rushed up.

However, it is relatively easy for Wu Haogu's dummy army to practice this wall-and-wheel style of play, because they are cavalrymen who live and train together all day long. Murong Wangwu also drew up a "drill code" for them according to Wu Haogu's instructions, so there was a unified training standard, so it was easy to cooperate.

"Führer," Murong Parrot immediately hugged his fists, "the wheel battle is fine, but it's not okay to enter like a wall." ”

"Is it hard to get through a wall?"

"It's hard!" Murong Parrot shook his head, "You have to control the pace of the horse, and the horse's legs are also long, so it's not easy to control." ”

Wall Charge isn't a technique that can be practiced in a few months.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Then let's take a look at the children's wheel battles today...... I've got to play at least ten rounds today! Children, after the fight, I will invite you to have a good meal for your father. Yan Po'er, that girl is also bringing the young lady to us, everyone have a good time! ”

With a bang, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers all laughed and clapped their hands: "Father-in-law, just look at it, the children have practiced hard, and you will be satisfied!" ”

This group of children is growing up day by day, and they have reached the age of women, and in a few years they will have to start a family and start a business, and reproduce the next generation of "Mamluks".

But for the sake of the heavenly tilt twenty years later, the money that should be burned must be burned without hesitation!

Wu Haogu also slapped his face: "Don't be busy thinking about women first, my father wants to set a high level for you, which team of straight mother thieves is at the end, and I will be a monk for Lao Tzu!" No meat, no wine, no women! ”
