Chapter 289 Iron Horse Army Training

Lu Bu couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhongda is really a master. I plan to promote your training of the Iron Horse Army throughout the army. Even infantrymen who are not equipped with iron horses must practice the technique of riding iron horses."

Gao Shun stretched out his hand and gestured: "I am at least one sweep shorter than my lord, and my lord is a master. Iron horses are indeed very convenient. A flat road can carry 200 kilograms for long-distance transportation, which also plays a great role in production and development."

"There is no hope in the short term. Military use is not enough, so how can it be used by the people. This time, we come here to check your Iron Horse Army training, and the other is to see how Zhuge Jin developed cattle raising."

"Don't worry, lord, our iron horse army screams, which is a little worse than the trap camp, and its combat power is still very strong."

"Whether the combat power is strong or not, it depends on the food, go to the cafeteria."

It was just the meal time, and Lu Bu and Gao Shun went to the cafeteria to check.

It is the end of March now, and vegetables grown in early spring can be eaten one after another.

The lunch was still very rich, stir-fried pork rapeseed, stewed pork with cabbage, tender green onions, spinach, etc.

The soldiers who were having dinner saw that Lu Bu was coming, quickly stood up and saluted.

Lu Bu pressed his hand and said, "Sign up everyone to continue eating."

The chef introduced: "The variety is richer than before, mainly seasonal dishes, and some stored cabbage and potatoes. Now the method of eating meat has changed. I used to like to eat once a few days and eat a lot at a time. Now I am keen to eat it frequently and eat very little at a time. There are a few pieces in the meal, which ensures the health of the soldiers' diet. There are also fish and shrimps occasionally every month."

"It's not bad, it's still very good. The vegetables grown here in Zhongda are better than those in Xuzhou. It seems that the land of our great men is very fertile."

Gao Shun smiled and said, "There are many springs here, and there is spring water next to our vegetable field, which is very convenient to water the field. The cabbage is sweet when planting. The soldiers trained and moved their hands and feet, and planted the vegetable field by the way."

The camp has now grown to one thousand people, and the cafeteria is next to the Iron Horse Army.

There are still differences in food, and more meat should be added. This is understandable. The training intensity of the camp is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and it is almost twelve hours on standby. It belongs to the fast-response army. The tasks performed are dangerous and the subsidies are also high.

In the afternoon, intense training began on the training ground.

One of them is an iron horse riding and shooting.

A soldier rides a bicycle and a soldier sits on the back seat, and can shoot arrows from front, back, left and right. Thirty feet away, he can even make ten shots and six shots.

As for riding a bicycle across a single-plank bridge, it’s a little bit. Many people can do it for long-term training, but these things are very risky, and fighting is not about playing acrobatics.

You should know that the difficulty of shooting arrows while marching is very high, and it is extremely rare to be able to do six out of ten.

Thanks to the quality of the sophomore 28 car, it would have been a long time since it was replaced by another car.

The next exercise followed. In the empty school ground, a hundred iron horse soldiers were resting when they suddenly discovered a cavalry attack.

"Form a formation." The iron horse soldiers immediately acted, with the front of the car facing outward, and installed a three-pointed spike, and tied a chain between the car, and a shield was used to match it. The archers with strong bows immediately began to release the rocket. Behind the arrow was the oil-soaked cloth strip, which was very combustible. They shot randomly, and the besieged cavalry suffered heavy losses.

Of course, this is just an exercise and there are no real casualties.

Hua Ji asked behind Lu Bu in confusion: "Lord, rockets are so easy to use and can ignite the clothes in the armor. Why do Cao Bing rarely use them?"

Lu Bu didn't answer and laughed.

Gao Shun next to him shook his head: "Cao Zhe does not have the capital to use a lot of oil. Oil, whether it is vegetable oil or tung oil, is very expensive. People are almost unwilling to add oil when cooking."

Huaji is not in charge of the company and does not know that the firewood and rice are expensive, and oil is too rare in this era.

The Xuzhou Army also created a large amount of cotton seed oil that is easy to burn because of the large-scale promotion of cotton. Even so, rockets are rarely used and must not be used. Because once the rocket is launched, the arrows cannot be recycled.

Lu Bu took out a kerosene lighter, raised his hand and started to fire with a snap.

Gao Shun was shocked: "Lord, is this magic? It's very different from the Fire Episode."

"The same principle as the fire slap, it contains lamp oil and flint, Zhongda will try it."

Lu Bu handed Gao Shun the lighter, and Gao Shun tried to slide the lighter, and it hit a bang, and the small flame was fooling around.

"Convenient, convenient, much faster than fire breaks."

"Yes, this is called a heavenly fire weapon, and a small amount has been deployed for military use."

It turns out that if this is an old kerosene lighter redeemed system, it is quite convenient to use. It will catch fire with a light hit and no need to have a cover seal, which can be stored well.

Gao Shun was very happy: "With the Tianhuo Array, it is more convenient to make fire, and it is more convenient to ignite rockets."

However, Lu Bu has not allocated many people, only more than one hundred.

This is very consistent with Lu Bu's strategy. Every time I take it out a little bit to make everyone adapt. When they adapt, there will be more.

However, lighters have not made much progress compared to fire slicing. The ancients had extraordinary wisdom and fire slicing were also very useful. Take it out and blow it with your mouth, and the fire will rise.

"Zhongda's Iron Horse Army has a great role here. It can support Bohai County to the north and return to Rencheng and Teng Kingdom to the south. In this way, we can strive for a short-term peace and stability, and we can develop vigorously. After a while, I will transfer thousands of infantry from Youzhou to you, and the number will be around 15,000, so that a powerful combat legion can be formed."

"A good lord, soldiers are more important than elites, not many. It is also undesirable to blindly pursue quantity." Gao Shun reminded.

The main purpose of Lu Bu's arrangement was to balance the forces of each unit, so that the main force would not be too prominent. Lu Bu's central army always had an absolute advantage.

Gao Shun's more than 11,000 troops were stationed in Jinan County, with 40,000 mu of farms and more than a dozen farms. Food, vegetables, meat, eggs, and poultry were completely unreliable on local supply. What is commendable is that they have not lost their training.

Speaking of farmland, Gao Shun happily reported the good news: "Lord, the farmland used for farmland has produced more than 200 mules, and the farmland has been more worry-free. The farmland we use now is good, but we are irritable, and people are often kicked and hurt."

Gao Shun's army had 1,500 horses, all of which were tall and big horses. They were mainly captured from Yuan Shao's army.

One thousand plowing horses were all trained by Hun horses.

Because although the mare is less powerful, it is slightly more temperamental and can still be tamed, and the farming land is still very powerful. Unexpectedly, it is indeed a good thing to breed two multi-headed mules.
