Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

June has arrived and the weather is extremely hot.

At the moment, on a large piece of flat land between Wugong County and Fufeng County, a cavalry force is training here.

The bright red sun, everyone is sweating profusely.

They galloped on horses, and after half an hour, the team suddenly split into two.

There were about 5,000 people in both teams. At this moment, the two teams suddenly clashed with each other.

All the soldiers had spears in their hands, but the tips of the spears had been removed.

The two teams were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in front had already raised their spears, and they stabbed fiercely at the soldiers on the opposite side.

The two teams fought fiercely, and it took half an hour before they stopped.

At this moment, many people were already lying on the ground, and they were stabbed down by their comrades with spears. Some people didn’t have a serious problem, they turned over and sat up, some people were in severe pain all over their bodies, and some people were injured, and their ribs seemed to be broken.

"Do you have anything to do?" A general got off his horse, strode up to the wounded soldiers, and asked anxiously.

"General, we have nothing to do, we can continue training!" A soldier had blood on his chest, apparently seriously injured, but he still said so.

"You are injured, you need to take a good rest for a while." The general said.

"But, General, everyone is training, and I can't stay alone." The soldier said hastily.

"If you are injured, you must rest, and you can continue training when your body recovers. Don't worry, you are still soldiers of our new army, and we will not abandon you," the general said.

"But..." The soldier wanted to say more, but the general kept shaking his hands to stop him from talking.

The rest of the soldiers were also extremely exhausted at the moment, and they sat on the ground to rest.

"Aren't you tired?" The general asked when he came in front of the crowd.

"Not tired!" Countless soldiers shouted together.

"I know it must be very tiring! What you just said was a lie." The general laughed and said.

He never smiled in the past, but now he laughed suddenly, looking a little stiff. But the soldiers below all showed funny expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that their army commander would laugh too.

"But even if we are ten times more tired, we still need to train! In the last Northern Expedition, the Forbidden Army in Northern Shaanxi, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army all made great contributions. Our Forbidden Army, as the most valued army of His Majesty, stayed here! Sure! Some people will say that we are not as good as them, and I am not convinced! We will also make achievements in the future, and we must not be inferior to them! Therefore, in daily training, we must strictly demand ourselves, and we must not slack off!" said the general.

"What the commander said is true!" said a soldier below.

"This time, General Yue has drawn 50,000 troops from the imperial army to form cavalry. The troops that can be drawn are, without exception, troops that have made great achievements in the war, and they are all troops with the best performance on weekdays. Our new army has only been formed for less than two years, but we can be selected into the cavalry, which shows that General Yue attaches great importance to us, and we must not let them down," the general said again.

The soldiers below nodded.

"Besides, Your Majesty also attaches great importance to cavalry! Your Majesty said that we hope that we will be the first to enter the Central Plains and fight against the Golden Soldiers in the future! We will be the main force to destroy the Jurchen in the future! How much His Majesty values ​​us, for His Majesty, we should also Keep practicing hard." The general said again.

Many of the soldiers below showed excited expressions on their faces and nodded again.

They rested for a quarter of an hour, and then started training again.

This time they practiced riding and archery. They kept shooting forward with bows and arrows in their hands. They rode on the horse and kept moving forward, constantly moving towards the goal.

They have been training all afternoon.

When evening came, they rested while having dinner.

And at night, they practiced again, this time they practiced sword skills on horseback.

All cavalry warriors have four weapons, one is a spear, one is a horizontal knife, and the remaining two are bows and arrows, one for long-range shooting and one for short-range shooting.

What they don't know is that these four weapons are exactly the weapons used by Mongolian soldiers and horses in history. When Genghis Khan fought in all directions, all soldiers had these four weapons in their hands.

At that time, the Mongolian army was a standard light cavalry. The Mongolian grassland was extremely barren. The only defense for the Mongols was the helmet on their heads. Some of these helmets were made of iron, but more of them were made of rattan armor. . Although the defense of light cavalry is low, they have the highest mobility in the world. Under the command of Genghis Khan's genius big roundabout strategy, the Mongolian soldiers and horses won one victory after another. And Zhao Chen obviously wants to copy such a cavalry now, and he hopes that this cavalry can cross the Central Plains in the future and destroy Jurchen.

The night was getting dark, and the soldiers were still training.

The soldiers didn't stop until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and they began to rest.

The soldiers were all asleep, but several generals of this army were still awake.

On a hill, three generals are standing here.

One of them was the general trained during the day, and he was Wang Ying, the commander of the New First Army.

The two next to him are Yang Zheng and Liang Hao.

"Your Majesty said, give us the imperial army one year, and hope that we can train a strong cavalry! I hope we don't need one year, we only need half a year! In half a year, I want to see a whole army of cavalry Invincible cavalry appeared in front of me." Wang Ying said.

"General, the soldiers train really hard! There are twelve hours a day, and they spend eight or nine hours training. I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to handle it," Yang Zheng said.

"If we can't bear it, then we have to be eliminated! We are an army of steel, and only steel warriors can survive! If it is really impossible, we have to transfer people from other armies to our new army! Now there are Countless people want to join the cavalry!" Wang Ying said.

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao next to him nodded.

"In October, we will have a large-scale military exercise. Then it is time to consider the results. We may attack Fufeng County from Wugong County. The Second Army, the Fifth Army, and the Eighth Army will defend there . How do you say to make a breakthrough?" Wang Ying said.

"Commander, I don't think it's better than this. You lead half of the soldiers and horses to attract their attention from the front, and I will lead people to climb over the Wugong Mountain and surround them from behind." Yang Zheng said.

"Crossing from Wugong Mountain? People can pass, but can horses pass?" Wang Ying said.

"I don't think there is a problem! Although the road is difficult, the horses can pass!" Yang Zheng said.

"What if they find out?" Liang Hao said.

"At that time, we will judge according to the actual situation. We must surprise them and attack them. If they can discover our strategy, it proves that they are better than us, and we need to learn from them." Yang Zhengdao.

Wang Ying nodded.

Although the three of them are all important generals in the army, they are all disheartened now, and it is impossible to think otherwise after training for a day. They discussed tomorrow's training for a while before returning to the barracks for a rest.

On the front line of martial arts and Fufeng, all the cavalry are training without sleep or food.

Originally, the crops began to mature in June. Because of the vast land and sparse population, many soldiers of the army helped the young people to harvest the crops together. However, the cavalry team was still training. They had already received strict orders from Zhao Chen and Yue Fei to let them harvest the crops in a short time. To become a combat cavalry team, every moment of every day must not be delayed. Except for training, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei will not entrust them with anything.

They are constantly training like this, and every day is equivalent to two days of training for others!

Those nomads on the grassland grew up on horses, and their riding and shooting skills are exceptionally good. The soldiers of the imperial army do not have such advantages, but they have the diligence and hard work that no one else has. They have to rely on their own sweat to catch up with the aliens on the grassland. They believe that in the future their riding and shooting will definitely not be inferior to those of other races.

They train like this day after day, month after month, and never rest!

Regardless of the scorching sun, regardless of the heavy rain, regardless of the dust, they are training, never-ending training.

*** ***

It's already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather has finally turned cooler.

The sorghum planted by the Production and Construction Corps began to mature in large tracts, and countless young people put into intense labor and began to harvest sorghum.

However, manpower is still not enough.

On the afternoon of this day, Zhao Chen led the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp into the crop field to help the young people harvest sorghum together.

Zhao Chen had been working for a whole afternoon, and he didn't come out of the field until the sun went down.

He was covered in sweat, and his clothes had become extremely dirty.

A young man next to him brought a basin of water, Zhao Chen washed his face, and then came to a nearby village with the young man and a group of people from the imperial camp.

Here, some young people have already prepared meals to entertain Zhao Chen and others.

"This sorghum needs to be harvested for about ten days." After eating, Zhao Chen called the young people together and said with a smile.

The young people next to him nodded.

"After harvesting the sorghum, you still can't be idle. You have to build the Guanshan highway. At that time, you will have to work hard again. You are busy all year round, and you don't have much time to rest. It is extremely hard work." Zhao Chen road.

"Your Majesty, don't say that. The soldiers of the Imperial Army have trained hard."

"Yes, Your Majesty. There are still countless imperial guards who died on the battlefield. Compared to them, we are nothing."

The young people next to him said one after another.

"I have said before that this is a great era of ups and downs. This is a great era in which we Han people have risen completely and flourished forever. In this great era, everyone is contributing and everyone is working hard. The country will remember your contributions, and history will remember your contributions. This country and this nation will undergo earth-shaking changes in our hands. We are working very hard now, but in the future, we will be proud of these hard work, We will feel that all this is worth it. We can tell our descendants that we did not live in vain, and we used our best efforts to do the most meaningful things in the world." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we understand!" The young man next to him nodded with an extremely excited expression on his face.

"I'm not talking big or empty words to lie to you, what I'm saying is what's in my heart." Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the people around him laughed.

"Not only you are working hard, but I am also working hard. Over the years, I have hardly had a good day off. I hope that in the future, when this country is prosperous, you and I can put down the burden on our shoulders together, and we can enjoy ourselves to the fullest, you guys Are you okay?" Zhao Chen said.

Suddenly, there was a sound of applause from around.

That night, Zhao Chen rested here.

However, the lights in his room were always on, and political affairs from all over the country were continuously sent to him, and he was handling political affairs at night.

After dealing with the political affairs, Zhao Chen finally turned off the lights. He meditated on the bed, and it took him a long time to really lie down.

And the next morning, he woke up before it was dark, and he harvested sorghum with the soldiers and young people, and he was busy for another day.

*** ***

On August 15th, villages in Wugong County and Fufeng County held grand celebrations, this time to celebrate the harvest! This year's grain harvest has been bumper, and all the young people are extremely excited.

Then these young people will invest in the construction of the Guanshan Highway.

They may not be able to rest throughout the winter.

And Zhao Chen has returned to the county seat of Wugong County at this moment.

He spends most of his time dealing with political affairs and public affairs.

At night, Wang De came to Zhao Chen's room, and Wang De put a piece of information he had just obtained in front of Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, those Jianghu figures in the south of the Yangtze River are ready to move again! What kind of treasure are they talking about, and what treasures are they going to help Zhao Gou get out! They say that if they get the treasure, they can get the world! It's just that our intelligence personnel haven't got the specific information yet." Wang Dedao.

"Treasures? It's ridiculous! Governing the country and attacking the world depend on diligence, understanding people and making good use of them, and relying on the unity of the people. Do you think it is possible to win the world with treasures?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"This is naturally impossible, but, Your Majesty, this treasure seems to be of great importance, we should be more careful." Wang De said.

"Pay careful attention to me! If you have any news, send it to me." Zhao Chen said.

Wang De nodded, took his leave and left immediately.

Standing in front of the window, Zhao Chen looked towards the east, thinking about the movement of those Jiangnan martial arts figures, but felt that it might not be related to the treasure, and it was likely to be an assassination. Either way, he felt a little weird.
