Chapter 110
(Thank you all for sending birthday wishes to Muzi, thank you everyone.)
Three days left before the agreed half-month period, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, and several others who had not appeared in Huaihuang City for a long time returned to the city. Ling Yun met them alone on the White Tiger Platform and asked about the results.
"Have you found out the situation of Baye Gu people?" A few days ago, Ling Yun wanted to send someone out to find the traces of Baye Gu people, and Dou Jiande took the initiative to ask for battle and was willing to go to reconnaissance. Ling Yun handed over this task to Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande chose Sun Anzu, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, and Zhang Jin, who were also from Hebei, and Wang Fubao and the five others were accompanied. Ling Yun picked up several brothers who were good at reconnaissance scouts from the old subordinates of Baimatang to guide them. Dou Jiande had been out for seven or eight days, and he only came back at this time, and once made Gao Bo and Wei Zheng and the others worried whether they had an accident. However, Ling Yun believed in Dou Jiande and the others very much. How could something happen to such a luxurious reconnaissance team be?
Although Ling Yun had a secret man in his hand, he was still cautious when dealing with the nomadic cavalry that had come and go without a trace and was the best for maneuvering. After all, this was his first battle. As soon as he came, he had to be cautious when facing the cavalry outside the Fortress. Only by knowing his opponents can he be invincible. To deal with these nomadic cavalry, he had to figure out where they are now.
Dou Jiande said: "This group of people who were Pi Ye Gu divided into several groups, with a hundred people as a group. They were plundering the small tribes of the Xi people everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and being extremely arrogant. In order to find out where they were going, we delayed some more time."
Liu Heita added: "This group of people is sometimes scattered and sometimes gathered. It is really like the wind. Many small tribes of Xi are caught off guard and are slaughtered by them. However, we have figured out several of their temporary camps. Basically, every three or five days, after the robbery is successful, Bayegu people will return to the camp to store their possession and rest. We have already drawn these temporary camps on the map, and I wonder if it has delayed the arrangements of the leader."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "No, you did it right. I didn't expect that these Baye Gu people have become so arrogant. Not only are they staring at Huaihuang City and reluctant to withdraw. They dare to ignore Huaihuang City so much and scatter the Xi people. You have figured out their camps clearly, which is very good. With the map you provide, our chances of winning have increased a little more this time."
"It's good if you don't miss the matter." Dou Jiande said that he had been out for so long this time and had just returned. He was worried that he would miss Ling Yun's arrangement. After all, he volunteered to go for reconnaissance. If he missed the matter, he would have no shame to face Ling Yun. He knew very well that the importance of dealing with Ba Ye's this time to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun smiled and looked around the heroes of Hebei. Needless to say, Dou Jiande was a very thoughtful person. Although Liu Heita was a bit rogue at this time, history books recorded that Liu Heita's strongest was reconnaissance. He asked him to go on a reconnaissance mission, which was really full of his talents. However, Liu Heita was a little nervous at the time facing Ling Yun's gaze. He squeezed out a stiff and awkward smile. He turned out to be a country rogue. He followed Dou Jiande to follow Ling Yun, a famous white horse and silver spear in the north, and he was indeed a little awe in his heart.
"This time everyone performed well, even exceeding my expectations. They were able to accurately uncover the camp of Baye Guren. They were quite beautiful. They each recorded their military merits once and discuss the rewards together in the future."
The few laughed, especially Liu Heita, Wang Fubao, and Zhang Jin said that it would be the same for many people in the future. The key is to be appreciated by Ling Yun, the newly rising hero of the north.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's come here today, go back and rest first." Ling Yun said. It could be seen from their eyes that they were still a little restrained between them and themselves. He knew in his heart that whether they were brothers or friends, he was also the leader of the Tigers, they were his aides.
After admiring the group for a few more words, Ling Yun asked them to go back and rest first. However, when he left, Ling Yun still gave each person a newly cast refined cavalry knife, and each person gave each person ten taels of gold. Brothers and friends are brothers and friends, and they still get rewards for their contributions.
Sending Dou Jiande and others out, he rushed to Dongcheng Arsenal Shop. When he arrived at the Arsenal Shop, he saw carriages constantly coming out of the yard loaded with boxes. The yard was also in chaos, filled with charcoal, iron and sweat. The craftsman head came over and told him that a thousand sabers had almost been completed, and all the 1,000 cavalry swords could be delivered before tomorrow. In addition, the iron rings and nails that Ling Yun asked for were also made, and there were no special requirements for these things, so although there were many, it was not a problem. "Those iron rings should be used to protect the horse's hooves, right?" The craftsman head said his guess.
Ling Yun gave him a thumbs up, "That's right, this is horseshoe."
Horseshoes, yes, Lingyun asked craftsmen to create horseshoes. In fact, horseshoes were invented in the West long ago, but Middle Earth did not spread. However, although horseshoes were simple, they had a huge effect. Although there was a layer of cuticle on the horseshoes, they were easily worn. Especially for war horses, long-term riding and galloping, the wear of horseshoes will be more serious. Once the wear is too heavy, the war horses will be scrapped. After installing horseshoes, even if they are worn, they can be replaced with new hooves at any time. At the same time, the hooves can also strengthen the grip of war horses, and even increase the power of war horses. The power increases greatly when they collide and trample. However, European horseshoes are lighter and bulge. The horseshoes made by Lingyun to craftsmen are heavier, flatter and more durable.
"How to use this? Do you need to nail it to the horseshoe?" Shan Xiongxin, who rushed over, asked in confusion with the newly cast horseshoe.
"certainly!"
"This!" Shan Xiongxin was a little disbelief, "Will you hurt the horseshoe?"
"Of course not. In fact, there is a shell about an inch thick on the horseshoe. Our nails are all good. If you nail them on, lock the hoof, but you won't hurt the horseshoe. In this way, put on the horses, and you will be brave enough to move forward in the knife and fire." Ling Yun smiled, then directly led his horse, pulled his short knife and started to put the horseshoe on the horseshoe. It is actually not difficult to nail the horseshoe. First tie the horse's legs to the wooden stake, and then untie the nails one by one. Take a sharp knife and cut off the cuticle layer on the palm, then straighten it, and then nail the slap firmly with nails.
A group of craftsmen looked at Ling Yun's horse that abused him in surprise, thinking that the BMW would inevitably be ruined. Unexpectedly, during the whole process, the excellent war horse did not respond to pain and struggle. The four horseshoes were nailed in less than a quarter of an hour. After nailing it, the horse was untied, and Ling Yun walked around with the BMW. The BMW, who had put on his shoes, was a little uncomfortable. The four legs kept falling back and forth, and the brand new horseshoes made a jingle sound on the stone floor.
Shan Xiongxin was a little stunned. Ling Yun smiled and said to the craftsman on the side, throwing a few knives over.
The craftsman was puzzled and hesitated and threw a few broken horizontal swords over. The sword had been unsheathed and threw them on the ground casually. Ling Yun led the horse and walked directly past it. The horse's hooves stepped past the broken sword, making a clanging sound. A knife that was already broken was even broken. After walking over, Ling Yun lifted the horse's hooves one by one and watched, nothing was wrong.
"It's amazing. I used to see only the iron armor on horses, but I have never heard of iron shoes on horses, too." Shan Xiongxin exclaimed repeatedly, "I want to wear shoes on my BMWs!" After saying that, he rushed to take his beloved horse over and nailed the horseshoes.
Gao Jia, who followed Ling Yun, nodded repeatedly, and his eyes were full of glory. He has been in the army for many years and has been dealing with war horses for half his life. Naturally, he is very clear about the improvement of the horse's cavalry after wearing these iron shoes. In addition, he had tried the new cavalry sword before, he couldn't help but sigh that Ling Yun, a young Green Forest good son-in-law, was actually more proficient in cavalry than the middle-aged man who had been in the army for many years.
At this time, a man who looked like an apprentice approached Ling Yun and quietly stuffed him a note, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I want to see Yuan Jiyao and come to Dexing Inn in Xicheng City."
Ling Yun looked at the man's disappearing back and frowned in a little hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Gao Jia noticed something was wrong with Ling Yun and asked.
"You go and call some brothers here right away." Ling Yun whispered.
"What happened?"
Ling Yun handed the note to Gao Jia, and Gao Jia immediately whispered: "This may be a trap."
"Maybe, but it is possible that there is really news about Ji Yao here. I have to go, no matter we can't be careless. You can adjust more brothers to surround Dexing Inn, but don't expose your identity." Whether it is a trap or not, Ling Yun has to go and see it before he can rest assured. No matter what, he feels a lot of guilt for Ji Yao, who has never met before.
Gao Jia quickly transferred a guard to a casual outfit and quietly approached Dexing Inn, holding the front and back doors.
"Everything is already surrounded." Gao Jia said.
Ling Yun looked at Dexing Inn, which was open normally, and nodded. You take a few brothers in with me, and the others are left outside. Before I came out, no one inside is allowed to be let go." After saying that, he walked across the street and walked into the inn. As soon as he entered the inn, the man who looked like a shopkeeper of the inn immediately came forward, "You are finally here, please follow me."
Ling Yun followed him, and the shopkeeper took him to the backyard of the inn, came to a well, took a pair of rope ladders and put them down. "Follow me down."
When he went down to the well about two feet deep, the shopkeeper pushed the wall of the well and revealed an authentic tunnel.
"Where does this lead?" Ling Yun asked alertly when he saw that his authentic appearance seemed very deep.
