Chapter 104 Cavalry Theory, Building Upgrade!

"Wu Zi·Zhibing" has recorded several requirements for the maintenance of war horses:

"The horse must be in a safe place, with suitable water and grass, and to prevent hunger and satiety. It must have a warm stable in winter and a cool veranda in summer."

Maintaining a war horse is a very important matter. Some knights may take better care of their horses than their own mothers. Once the war horses lack energy, the cavalry's strength on the battlefield will be greatly reduced.

As for how to select war horses and the harshness of selection, it is recorded in "Bamboo Slips of the Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land· Miscellaneous Copies of Qin Laws":

"Recruiting horses over five feet eight inches, incompetent and unable to run as well as the order, the county Sima Jin has two armors, the order and the prime minister each have one armor. First, the horses are given to admirers, and the horses are prepared, and then Ling joins the army. Go to the military class, the horse hall, Ling and Cheng Erjia; Sima Yunjia, deposed."

The meaning of this passage is that when selecting war horses, first of all, the horse must be taller than 160cm. The horse must undergo strict training and listen to the rider's command. If it fails to meet the requirements, military commanders, county magistrates and others will be punished.

Moreover, the selected war horses must undergo a second review when they are sent to the military camp. If they are judged to be unqualified, the county magistrate and county magistrate will be punished, and the army commander will be dismissed.

"Six Taoist Warriors" also mentioned:

"Front, back, left and right, advance and retreat in circles, cross ravines, climb hills, risk obstacles, conquer large swamps, and overtake powerful enemies."

This obviously also has requirements for cavalry horses. In order to meet the above requirements, it is necessary to take various measures to raise more war horses, select and breed better breeds, maintain the war horses, and train the war horses.

All of the above can be seen that the selection of war horses is strict and the requirements are demanding.

The cavalry of the Great Qin Kingdom are indeed awesome and unrivaled in the world.

It’s no wonder they are so strict in selecting war horses.

However, the horses on the grassland where Qin Yu is located are all excellent breeds, with strong bones and tall heights. They are just a little thin because of poor forage in winter, but he also has purple alfalfa, a horse-raising animal, so there is no need to worry.

Almost most of the horses at Beicheng Racecourse are over 160cm tall, and % of them can be used as war horses.

As for the criteria for knight selection, it was mentioned in "Six Taoist Warriors":

"The method of selecting a knight is to select a knight who is under forty, more than seven feet and five inches long, strong, agile, and unparalleled. He must be able to ride at full speed, shoot forward, backward, left, and right, maneuver forward and retreat, cross great chasms, climb hills, risk obstacles, and conquer great swamps. Those who ride on powerful enemies and disrupt the masses are called warriors, and they must be treated with kindness."

From here we can see that there are six conditions for selecting cavalry.

Young adults under the age of forty, more than seven feet five inches tall, strong in body, agile and agile in movement, skilled in riding and shooting, good at controlling mounts, able to move forward and retreat freely, and able to cross dangerous obstacles and overcome large swamps, and be resourceful Brave and more.

The ability of cavalry to become the overlord on the ancient battlefield is closely related to the strict selection of knights and the harshness of war horses.

But now that Qin Yu has a militia training camp, most of these conditions can be met. Add one star to intelligence to make him smart, add one star to command to make him able to discern the situation, add one star to agility to make him agile and agile, and add one star to make him agile and agile. Martial arts makes him skillful, and adding one star of constitution makes him strong.

As for the rest, more training is enough, not to mention that the cavalry's opponents are primitive people and players with the same civilized combat power as him, so they will definitely be able to dominate the battlefield under various harsh conditions.

Qin Yu had already withdrawn the civilization points obtained from the sale of the three items in the mall this morning.

There were a total of 32,000 civilization points, but after subtracting the 10% transaction tax, he finally got 28,880 points, plus the remaining 1,600 points, which equaled 30,400.

I wanted to directly upgrade the militia training camp this morning, but later I found that the training camp that had already started training could only be opened again after the training period.

Therefore, Qin Yu had to give up and wait four days later.

However, in the past few days, everyone can choose a horse that suits them in the racecourse and tame them.

Qin Yu had more than 500 sets of horse gear brought in.

They are bridles, saddles, and stirrups. As for horseshoes, we don't even have bronze now, so naturally we can't get them.

However, it is worth mentioning that the stirrups are made of leather instead of iron. Although there are some differences in performance, it is better than nothing.

In the following time, Qin Yu asked everyone to walk into the racecourse one by one and start selecting and taming horses. Qin Yu directly ordered people to drag some horses that were not up to standard for war horses into a small horse farm on the other side.

For this kind of short and thin horses that cannot be used as war horses, they are also called rhinoceros horses. According to the ancient method, their legs are castrated and then they are responsible for pulling carriages or chariots.

Horses that have been castrated will become more docile, but Qin Yu did not dare to do this. If they were cut to death due to inflammation, the loss would be huge.

Moreover, castration is not a necessary condition for horses used to pull carts, so Qin Yu did not force it to be done.

Taming horses is not only a technical job but also a physical job. Talented people and strong people can naturally tame horses faster, and the better the horses they can tame.

Therefore the strong will be better and the weak will be weaker.

...

...

Five full days have passed, and the five hundred recruits as archers have just been able to climb on horses. This has made great progress.

Qin Yu was standing in front of the militia training camp, waiting for the soldiers to finish training in the last period of the training camp.

After about a while, the door to the training camp was slowly opened, and a hundred strong and tall soldiers walked out slowly in a queue.

Not only are everyone about the same height, above 178cm, but they also have similar muscle mass.

It only took five days to train a hundred strong men. You must know that before the training, many soldiers were only 1.6 meters tall, and there were many who were less than 1.5 meters tall. Now each one is like a villager who has entered a military academy. After several years of training, he returned to the village with great dignity.

His temperament has become much more powerful.

"Ji Wu, how about adding this group of 100 recruits to the Imperial Guard?"

Qin Yu looked back at Ji Wu with a smile and said,

Ji Wu was stunned: "Is this true?!"

"Of course, you can take him away. You guys will be responsible for the training." Qin Yu waved his hand.

"Yes! You must live up to the trust of the clan leader!" Ji Wu shouted excitedly, and then led the group of recruits directly towards the training camp of the Imperial Guard.

The quality of soldiers is like a person's potential. The better the quality and the higher the potential, the stronger they will eventually grow.

Looking at the empty militia training camp, Qin Yu summoned the control light curtain with a sudden movement of consciousness, and then clicked on the upgraded position.

Ten thousand civilization points disappeared in an instant!

Then the properties on the light curtain changed.

[Intermediate Militia Training Camp]

[Current status: Not turned on]

[Training conditions: A training period is carried out for every five thousand civilization points, which lasts for five days, and the maximum number of people is limited to five hundred people. 】

[Attributes: Same as the primary training camp. 】

[Upgrade: Spend 100,000 civilization points to upgrade to the advanced militia training camp, and the number of people trained in each period will be increased to 1,000 people]
