Chapter 134: The establishment of the horse market
"Huang Emperor Xuanyuan's clan has a bear in his home. How about we use the bear totem as a battle flag?"
"The bear totem feels too silly. It's better to use the dragon totem."
"agree."
"It's best to distinguish the battle flags of the ten legions so that they won't be able to recognize each other."
"The flag of the First Legion is the Yellow Dragon Flag."
"The flag of the Second Legion is the Red Dragon Flag."
"The flag of the Third Army is the Qinglong Banner."
"The flag of the Fourth Legion is the Black Dragon Flag."
…
After the joint decision of ten regiment commanders, the Eastern Han Dynasty used the same battle flag during the national war, which was a winding dragon with the character "Han" in Xiaozhuan in the middle.
The difference between different regimental flags is the color.
Each of the ten legions fighting in the Eastern Han Dynasty chose their own battle flag plan.
As the temporary commander of the Second Legion, Chu Tian chose the Red Dragon Banner.
The dragon totem and Chinese characters are the symbols of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and such battle flags have reflected the characteristics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The craftsmen of Chutian Lingxia City specially crafted thirty red dragon flags.
This was the first national war, and no one thought that the hastily decided dragon flag would become the flag that the Eastern Han District would always use when participating in national wars, frightening all civilized areas.
In addition to the Red Dragon Flag, Chutian also prepared war drums and gongs.
As the saying goes, when you hear the sound of drums and gongs, you can move forward; when you hear the sound of gold and gongs, you can retreat your troops; when you hear the sound of gongs and gongs, you can retreat your troops.
War drums, gongs, horns, and flags are the means of commanding troops and horses on the battlefield.
"The food and weapon losses on the battlefield were provided by the Tang army, which is a good thing. It is a pity that the Tang army did not provide war horses. The war horses of the Tang cavalry came from Longxi, excellent Turkic war horses."
Chutian has already prepared the red dragon flag, war drums, gongs, and other materials that should be prepared.
Hua Mulan's cavalry is washing their horses to keep them in the best condition.
War horses also have their own condition. In order to maintain the highest combat effectiveness of war horses, they must be well fed. For cavalry, war horses are partners who fight alongside them.
Hua Mulan still wore armor. Under her training, the average level of the Xia Town Light Cavalry reached level 45, making them an elite division.
If the light cavalry is at full level, it means that the light cavalry has either been trained for a thousand days or has participated in at least dozens of large and small battles.
A light cavalry that has experienced the baptism of war may also defeat the newly recruited high-level cavalry.
Zhou Yafu led 800 Xiliu Camp soldiers to participate in the battle. Three hundred of the Xiliu Camp soldiers were equipped with Han Xuanjia (double armor), and 500 were equipped with leather armor.
Chutian cannot afford to equip all Xiliu Camp soldiers with pierced armor. A pair of pierced armor is woven from hundreds of pieces of iron. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and the price is a bit expensive.
There are some soldiers and horses from Xiliu Camp who have fought two or three battles with Zhou Yafu, and their average level is around level 30.
Seven hundred archers from the Shesheng Battalion were finally trained before the National War. The initial level was only level 10, but their attributes were already very exaggerated.
[Military Type]: Shooting Battalion
[Level]: Level 6 Archer
[Attack Power]: 23 [Defense Power]: 7 [Speed]: 6
[Skills]: Special hit, advanced armor piercing, advanced arrow rain, Han spirit (+10% damage to aliens)
[Characteristics]: Five schools of the Northern Army (when a Han Dynasty general serves as the chief general/deputy general, attack +4, rate of fire +10%, speed +1)
[Military pay]: 8 taels/month
The salary of the Shesheng Camp is higher than that of Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp. As a imperial guard of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it makes sense. For melee troops, encountering the Shesheng Camp is a nightmare. The Shesheng Camp can also harm foreign races.
addition.
Chu Tian appointed Han general Li Guang as his deputy general to command the Shesheng Battalion.
The Shesheng Battalion led by Li Guang is a trump card in Chu Tian's hand.
What I am more worried about is Hua Mulan's cavalry, which is the first and second level cavalry. In the future, I will find a way to get the architectural drawings of the sixth level cavalry battalion and excellent war horses.
The racecourses in Xuzhou cannot raise very good war horses. Even if there are pastures, they can only raise ordinary war horses.
Chutian had never thought about spending a lot of money to buy stallions and then raise them in the pastures of Lingyan Town. However, the second-level pastures could not raise good horses. The mortality rate of foals was high, and the quality of the offspring of high-quality stallions would also decline.
, the cost of raising horses is very high.
Pasture is also an extremely important resource. Otherwise, the locations of the Hetao Plain, Longxi, Western Regions, and Liaodong would not be so important.
Of course, the racecourse in Xuzhou can breed ordinary war horses, and the output is not low, but the quality is not as good as the war horses in places such as Guanwai, Hetao and other places, and the cost is higher. The war horses in Xuzhou Racecourse are generally suitable for mid-level cavalry and are not suitable for high-level cavalry.
.
"While I'm away, see if you can build a horse market. The layout of the horse market can refer to the Luoyang City Horse Market."
Chu Tian found Xia Liang and asked her to try to set up a horse market while he was away.
The cost of cultivating high-quality war horses in Xuzhou was too high. Chutian could not change his destiny and force farmland to be turned into pasture. But he could consider changing his mind.
If you can't raise them yourself, you can just buy them with money. Horse markets have been set up in all dynasties.
For businessmen, especially players, if there is a profit of more than 300%, capital will dare to commit any crime, and even risk hanging.
As long as you have money, you can definitely buy a war horse.
"I will try to build a horse market and contact horse dealers in Xuzhou to settle in. According to some players, they witnessed a group of horse dealers traveling between Xuzhou and Youzhou, passing through Qingzhou and Jizhou. If this group of horse dealers can be attracted to settle in Xiazhou,
City, it is estimated that the number of horses traded in Xia City every month can reach more than a hundred."
Xia Liang obtains important information from the player group from time to time and has some understanding of the circulation of various commodities.
"You can purchase a batch of war horses from western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, followed by those from northern Jizhou."
Chu Tian didn't give a clear plan, and he didn't know how many horse dealers and what kind of horses would be attracted by the horse market in Xiacheng, so he didn't give any instructions and could only let his subordinates do what they wanted.
"It will soon be sent to the Anshi City battlefield..."
Chu Tian is waiting to be transported to the Anshi City battlefield.
Two thousand people gathered in the square of Xiacheng. Players living in Xiacheng watched as the commander of the Second Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty led his troops to the expedition.
Anshi City Battlefield is in an independent space.
"Li Shimin, Li Ji, Xue Rengui, these are all famous commanders and generals. If we fight alongside them this time, we must beat the shit out of them!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
It is probably every man's dream to obey orders under Tian Khan Li Shimin and ride on the same battlefield as the mighty generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Rengui fixed the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows. I wonder whose archery skills are better compared with Li Guang.
And the lord of Anshi City, the fictional Yang Wanchun, should also be a master of arrows.
