As for Nie Ze's question, Han Yun had already made up his mind and said,
"I've already thought about this. It's really difficult for horses to run in the desert, and they can't carry heavy loads. We don't have that many horses.
So we have to find a replacement mount."
"You mean the camel?"
Nie Ze frowned. There were many camels in Yumen Pass, but they were not enough to equip 20,000 cavalry.
"No, camels are too weak to run. I mean desert wolves. When I went to rescue the Zhenbei Army the day before yesterday, I saw a cavalry composed of monkeys riding desert wolves. At that time, I thought about forming a cavalry.
A desert wolf cavalry.
The desert wolf is fast, has high IQ, and has strong combat effectiveness. It is suitable for running on all terrains and is the best choice for cavalry mounts."
Nie Ze shook his head and said
"Everyone knows that desert wolves have a high fertility rate and strong adaptability, but they are too difficult to tame. Ordinary soldiers cannot tame desert wolves at all, but will be attacked by desert wolves.
We have captured desert wolves before, but those desert wolves all went on hunger strike and starved to death. They would rather die than surrender to us humans."
Han Yun smiled slightly, pointed outside and said,
"Li Miaoyuan just summoned thousands of birds to poop for us. He could only do this because he could communicate directly and tame the animals.
And I taught him this beast-controlling technique."
Hearing this, Wang Fugui's eyes immediately lit up and he said,
"You mean, you personally go to the Monster Clan, find the Monster Clan's desert wolf tribe, and tame 20,000 desert wolves and come back?"
"Yes, the stronger the monster, the harder it is to tame it, but as an ordinary eighth- and ninth-grade desert wolf, I can still do it easily."
Nie Ze said excitedly,
"That's great. If there are desert wolf cavalry, then we can definitely form an ace force. In this way, when we face the demon clan in the future, we don't have to just defend, but we can also counterattack, or even take the initiative to invade them.
!”
"Yes, that's it. The desert wolf is very adaptable and can last for several days after a full meal.
We can actually fight and let the soldiers take the initiative to attack every few days, firstly to train the troops and consume the demon clan, and secondly to fill the desert wolf's stomach."
Desert wolves eat meat and cannot eat grass like horses. Moreover, there have been few cavalry since ancient times because the cost of raising horses is too high, let alone the more powerful desert wolves.
Han Yun continued,
"Okay, then the matter is settled like this. Step by step, all the leather armor on the soldiers will be replaced by iron armor. Twenty thousand iron armors can be collected from the major armament stores in Yumen Pass, and then the imperial court will transfer some of them.
Fill inventory.
We already have long spears and short knives, and there is no shortage of long bows and arrows. The main thing is the manufacture of short crossbows. The arsenal in Yumen Pass has recently produced all short crossbows, and we will try to make them within a month."
After the matter was finalized, everyone dispersed immediately. Some people went back to their homes, and some followed Han Yun back to Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
After all, this place stinks so much that it would be painful to stay there for even one second longer.
Two good friends, Wang Hanshi and Li Miaoyuan, were still hung on the pole and were baptized with feces.
Peng Cheng and Yu Ming did not leave, but found two suits of armor to wear, and followed Zhao Long to stay in the commander's tent.
Because of their excellent martial arts skills, the two of them were appointed as pioneer officers by Zhao Long.
As for the two idiots Wang Hanshi and Li Miaoyuan, Zhao Long still needs to think carefully.
Zhao Long went to command the army to clean up the camp, and only Peng Cheng and Yu Ming were left in the commander's tent.
"Hey, Menghulu, we are the only two in this place now, why don't you fart at all?"
Peng Cheng looked at Yu Ming and joked.
Yu Ming rolled his eyes and said,
"What's there to say, I'm not familiar with you?"
"Hey, we have officially joined the army this time, and it's time to make contributions."
Yu Ming sneered and said,
"I want to practice my assassination skills in the midst of thousands of troops. It's understandable. Why are you so shameless and so shameless?"
Hearing this, the smile on Peng Cheng's face disappeared. He sat on the chair, sighed, and said leisurely,
"You should know that if you stay in Yunwu Palace, although your life will be good and your life will be ordinary, it will be difficult for me to get ahead in my life. I will always be a handyman in Yunwu Palace.
Don't say that I am a fifth-grade person now, even if I am a fourth-grade or third-grade person, so what? Can I still be stronger than senior brother?
As long as I stay in Yunwu Palace, I will never have a chance to change my destiny.
Although coming here is more dangerous, there are also more opportunities. Maybe one day, I can win a big victory, lead thousands of troops to attack the enemy, and be granted the title of marquis and general?
Yunwu Palace, that is the best place in the world, but it is too bland and not suitable for me."
Yu Ming's eyes were long and silent, and he said after a long moment of silence,
"You don't want to become a marquis or a general. How can you, a child from a mountain village, have such great ambitions?
You just want to prove yourself, prove that you are capable, and prove it to your junior sister.
The motivation for all you did came from her...
If you stay in Yunwu Hall, you will always be her little follower. Your status will never surpass her, and she will always look down on you.
So you want to take advantage of this opportunity when senior brother is at Yumen Pass to change your way of life and create a future. At least, you are no longer her follower.
Perhaps, one day in the future, when she comes to Yumen Pass, she can see your heroic figure, General Peng, returning in triumph with tens of thousands of cavalry."
Peng Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He instinctively wanted to refute and opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
He laughed dumbly,
"Damn it, you kid keeps quiet every day, and your mind is very clear."
Yu Ming did not smile, his back was turned to Peng Cheng, but his eyes were full of worry.
…
"Pony, little pony, don't run away, stop now, stop now."
In the open space in front of Zhenbei Houfu, Pegasus was running wildly in front, and Xin'er was chasing after him. Both were very fast, and for a moment they were evenly matched.
Xin'er ran quickly and saw that the Pegasus in front of her had reached the end and was about to turn. She immediately took a shortcut and rushed diagonally. Finally, she successfully intercepted the Pegasus. She grabbed the reins and turned over beautifully.
"Hee hee, let's see where you go this time. Fly quickly, fly to the sky, we will escape together."
Xiao Yuxin hugged Tianma's neck and giggled.
Tianma shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would rather die than obey.
"Oh, you are not obedient at all. Xin'er won't play with you?"
Xiaoyuxin gritted her teeth fiercely.
At this moment, the door of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion opened, and Qi Xiaoyu walked out. Seeing this scene, he whistled loudly, and Tianma rushed towards her quickly.
When they arrived, the Pegasus stopped, and Xin'er grimaced and pouted in displeasure.
"What are you going to do?"
Qi Xiaoyu looked at Xin'er unhappily.
"Xin'er wants the horse to take her flying and play in the sky."
