Chapter 126 The Kidnapped War Horse

I want to delay time.

Zhao Zhangyun has no idea at the moment. He needs to think about how to solve this problem.

Right now, there is absolutely no chance for anyone to go to court.

As a county magistrate, as long as he doesn't show his face, no one dares to really characterize this matter.

Putting things off first will give you time to think of a solution.

There must be a way.

Soon after.

The servant came again in a hurry to report the news.

Zhao Zhangyun, who was already annoyed enough, felt a thump in his heart.

Could there be something worse?

After hearing the news brought by his servant again, Zhao Zhangyun couldn't help but laugh, and then said viciously: "I didn't expect that you, Gong Zihong, would end up like this."

Zhang Zhangyun hated Gong Zihong.

First, he broke into the Liu Mansion, and then entered Huai'en Temple at night.

This is to start a war with the two largest forces in Min County.

Moreover, his was so accurate that he could hit a snake within seven inches.

He had the account books of the collusion between the Liu family and the bandits, and he also captured the criminal evidence of Huai'en Temple on the spot in front of others.

This series of methods is enough to show Gong Zihong's ambition.

Under his continuous suppression, his family will soon be the only one in Min County.

I originally thought he was a person who was promoted through connections.

I didn't expect his methods to be so sharp.

I'm still thinking this in my heart.

Suddenly a servant came and told him that Gong Zihong had stumbled, even a big one.

There were so many people in the Bingma Division that they couldn't even capture a woman, and Gong Zihong was even taken as a hostage.

In the end, they escaped, but the soldiers and horses injured many people.

It's not just that.

Due to the deployment of troops to capture a woman, the Bingma Division was short of troops, and finally... his house was stolen.

The Bingma Division is called the Bingma Division. As the name suggests, in addition to soldiers, there are also horses.

To be honest, horses are more valuable than soldiers.

The horse here does not refer to ordinary horses, but war horses that can go to the battlefield.

Gong Zihong was standing in front of the stable of the Military and Horse Division.

The door of the stable was wide open, and more than a dozen war horses that were supposed to be in the stable were missing, including the supporting equipment of the horses.

War horses are precious. In a place like Min County, there are only a dozen war horses.

Not just any horse can become a war horse.

As for the horses native to Da Qin, they are not suitable for use as war horses. Those that can become war horses are obtained from the north at great cost.

And after you have a war horse, you still have to raise and train it...

The money spent on a war horse is much more than the money spent on soldiers.

Moreover, only the Soldiers and Horses Division can have war horses.

It is illegal for ordinary people to keep war horses.

War horses are strategic-level supplies. Only with war horses can we have cavalry.

In battle, cavalry in large numbers is invincible.

The Qin Dynasty failed in wars every year because the foreign enemies had many cavalry.

In the age of cold weapons, cavalry was the most powerful weapon of destruction.

Throughout history.

An emperor who can rule the world will always have a powerful cavalry behind him.

for example.

Liu Xiu's Youzhou Cavalry.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia Jingqi.

The Jingsai Army of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that those who win the cavalry win the world.

There is an interesting comparison.

The value of a cavalry force in ancient times is like that of a modern aircraft carrier.

It’s expensive and people can’t afford it.

But once you have it.

You have the capital to conquer the world.

It is not difficult to simply form a cavalry, but the difficulty lies in subsequent maintenance, training, and supporting equipment.

As powerful as Li Shimin, he only has three thousand mysterious knights in his hands.

It’s not that I don’t want to expand.

I really can't afford it.

As far as war horses are concerned.

The requirements for war horses are very high, and those who can become war horses are from the north.

The north is uniquely endowed with natural horse ranches.

The war horses from the north have better physiques.

Cavalry going to the battlefield must wear armor and weapons.

Even war horses will have matching equipment.

With this outfit, it would be difficult for a normal horse to even move around, let alone gallop on the battlefield.

This requires that the physical condition of the war horse must be good.

A war horse with a good physique will consume a lot of money.

The food consumption of a single war horse is equivalent to that of several ordinary households.

Of course, the role that war horses can play is also huge.

A qualified cavalry plays a role on the battlefield that is incomparable to that of a soldier.

One cavalryman can overwhelm a formation of ten soldiers.

Ten soldiers may not be able to defeat one cavalry.

And when the cavalry reaches a large scale, it becomes even more terrifying.

Often in a war, the outcome is decided after several cavalry charges.

The cavalry can tear apart the enemy's formation, cut the enemy apart, and allow the enemy to fight on their own.

But if the cavalry wants to run away, the enemy cannot catch up even if they pursue him.

Da Qin was often confused by foreign enemy cavalry.

Foreign enemy cavalry can go straight into the hinterland of Da Qin. As long as they do not enter the city, they can plunder at will. Da Qin's soldiers cannot catch up anyway.

Let’s talk about war horses again.

The value of a war horse cannot be estimated purely in terms of money.

Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a war horse.

More war horses were captured from the enemy during the war.

War horses are even less likely to be circulated in the trading market, as they are all allocated by the imperial court.

The war horse does have a price, but you can't buy it. It is a special supply.

Take Min County as an example. There are only a dozen war horses in a military and horse department.

It can be said that these dozen war horses are the most valuable items in the Army and Horses Division.

But now.

Gone.

More than a dozen war horses were lost.

Just when Gong Zihong dispatched troops to capture Chu Mannu.

A group of people attacked the Bingma Division.

Even the soldiers and horses department dared to make a sneak attack. Under normal circumstances, this would be to kill someone.

The result was unexpected.

The sneak attack by the gang was successful and they also captured the horses of the Bingma Division.

Just because a large number of personnel from the Military and Horse Division were transferred away by Gong Zihong.

Weakness of military strength is the most fundamental reason.

In addition, this group of people is really not simple.

To put it simply, war horses are professionally trained and recognize their owners. It is impossible for a stranger to control a war horse.

But this group of people immediately mounted their war horses and made them obey their commands.

And when this group of people put on the matching equipment of war horses, they looked like a cavalry.

It was impossible for the weak troops to stop them.

After the group kidnapped the war horses, they fled Min County as soon as possible.

When they fled, the city gate of Min County was opened for them.

I don't know when, the control of Min County City Gate also fell into their hands.

When this group of people rode out of the city on their war horses, the sky was high enough for birds to fly, and the sea was wide enough for fish to leap.

Gong Zihong rushed back to the Military and Horse Division as soon as he received the news, and what he saw was an empty stable.

No one else was close enough to Gong Zihong.

Just from his expression, he knew that he shouldn't provoke Gong Zihong at this time.

In extreme emotion, Gong Zihong's face twisted into a ball.
