Report

"Giddy up! Cuckoo, your horsemanship is too bad. You come to the back, I'll be in front, you carry me. "

Zhang Xiaobao, who was rushing on the road, found that Wang Juan's riding movements were a bit too standard. She was not a female police officer on the road. She had to run back quickly. If she rode like this, the horse could dance.

He could only pat the horse's butt and shout. Then, he asked Wang Juan to change positions. He had specially learned how to ride a horse. The only thing missing was a pair of stirrups.

"I learned this before. You're the only one who can do it. You do it." Wang Juan let go of the reins, stretched out her hands, and held Zhang Xiaobao's shoulders. She put strength in her waist and turned her body backward. She deliberately touched Zhang Xiaobao's nose with her forehead.

When Wang Juan was behind him, Zhang Xiaobao moved forward a bit. He reached out to hold the reins, bent his body slightly, and used his legs to adapt. There was no need to shout any slogan. He naturally jumped out, and his speed was more than twice as fast as before.

"Xiao Bao, I didn't expect you to know how to ride a horse. Tell me, who did you learn this from?" Wang Juan hugged Zhang Xiaobao's waist from behind and followed his up and down to maintain the same frequency. This could reduce the horse's burden. She believed that Zhang Xiaobao's body movements were the most suitable for a horse to run. At the same time, she asked curiously.

"Inner Mongolia. I learned it from an old soldier. He didn't know my identity. He only thought that I was a tourist, a rich tourist. After I invested some money in them, I wanted to learn how to ride a horse. He taught me."

Zhang Xiaobao used the fastest speed to adapt to the horse's movement pattern. He had been letting the horse run in the most energy-efficient way. At the same time, he responded to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Bao to be a guy who knows how to bribe people."

"What bribe? I did want to give them a better place, including horses. In that place, you can't use tanks and machine guns at all. In terms of mobility, you can't compare to cavalry. Cavalry doesn't only have sabers, they also have rocket launchers. When the wind isn't strong, they can use rocket launchers.

Usually, two to three people were needed to form an anti-tank team. When it came to cavalry, one man and one horse was enough. They could run faster than a man. Horses could not only run in a straight line, they could also run in a zigzag pattern. When there was a sandstorm, other than missiles, all kinds of cannons and guns were not useful.

Think about it. When sand is blown into the barrel of the gun, what will happen if you shoot? At that time, the saber was the most powerful. When the cavalry charged, one man, one saber, and one horse. With the force of the wind blowing from behind, all the infantrymen were just decorations. Throwing two grenades, they came and went like the wind. "

Zhang Xiaobao recalled the situation when he was almost buried by the sandstorm and explained to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan was stunned. She thought that keeping the cavalry team was just a symbol. She didn't expect that in such a sandstorm, this cavalry team could be used as a suicide squad. A pile of grenades could be thrown out, and the tank could be destroyed. After the outer layer of anti-explosive armor plate was blown away, the people inside would be shocked to death with the special grenades.

There was also a special type of incendiary grenade that could create flames like an incendiary bomb. The people inside the tank were already hot, and with the addition of the heat outside, they would faint.

How fast was the shooting speed of the gun, and how fast was the galloping speed of the horse? In the sandstorm, how many sharpshooters dared to say that they could hit the target 200 to 300 meters away? You had to protect the barrel of the gun first. Not to mention the specially trained horses, even the one they were riding now could cross 200 to 300 meters in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't easy to rely on cavalry to defeat a team, but it was relatively easy to interfere with a team to achieve a tactical goal. Especially those infantry fighting vehicles, they couldn't withstand more than a few attacks.

After thinking about this, Wang Juan suddenly felt that she had too little experience. She couldn't compare to Zhang Xiaobao. She was training scientifically, but Zhang Xiaobao was learning desperately with radical ideas. No wonder he was so seriously ill. He was overdrawing his own life potential.

"Xiao Bao, what happened after that?" Wang Juan felt that there must be a lot of stories behind this, and it wasn't so simple.

"Later, they saved me. At that time, I thought I was going to die. They came over in the sandstorm and put me on the back of a horse. Then, they ran back to the camp, fed me food, bathed me, and I lived. I invested a lot of money to build a base for them and cultivate good horse breeds for them.

Unfortunately, at that time, I only wanted to learn how to ride a horse, and didn't learn how to breed horses. The only thing I knew was that their horses had to eat eggs every day, and their hooves were as big as plates. They were much taller than the current horses.

At that time, when the old soldier said that they didn't have enough eggs, I specially built a chicken farm for them. I found someone to be in charge of it. Now that I think about it, the scale should be bigger. Those chickens are free-range. If the horses and people can't eat the eggs, they will sell them.

It's worth a pound. "When Zhang Xiaobao thought about what happened at that time, he felt that he had done a good thing. The chicken farm occupied the land of other people, and it was half military and half civilian. The military occupied 40% of the land, and the civilian occupied 60%. After the chicken farm made money, they had to take out half of the profits to build the military camp.

"In other words, you gave them a chicken farm for free, and all the money earned was invested into the military camp? Xiao Bao, you are a good person. "Wang Juan worshipped heroes like Zhang Xiaobao since she was young. Of course, she still liked this kind of Zhang Xiaobao.

Who knew that Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "Who said that I didn't make money? I squeezed the other egg merchants out of the export market. There is only one place, and that is the grassland outside. I monopolized their egg imports. Before coming here, I gave an order that if they dare to provoke me, I will stop the supply of eggs.

The country also monopolized many of the necessities there. Once the supply was cut, we won without a fight. We used eggs to exchange for beef, mutton, and various kinds of leather. Then we sold them to other countries and made a lot of money. Half of it went into the fund, and the other half was used to build schools for children like we are doing now. Am I not very great? "

"I think you are fishing for praise. What great? I feel ashamed for you." Wang Juan couldn't stand Zhang Xiaobao's appearance, so she curled her lips and attacked him.

"Well, I am fishing for praise. I am a hypocrite. That should be enough. I am not so selfless. I want to use these things to make myself feel more at ease. When I give in materials, I gain in spirit. But I am better than those who don't give at all, right? Jia! "

When Zhang Xiaobao saw a small river in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of going around the bridge. He directly urged the horse to rush into the river. No one knew if he wanted to take a shortcut or if he was angry with Wang Juan.

If it were others, they would be scared, but Wang Juan was not worried at all. When the horse entered the river, she directly swam up from the horse. One hand supported the horse's body, the other hand pulled Zhang Xiaobao's clothes.

After swimming to the other side, Wang Juan mounted the horse again and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Continue, there is a mountain over there. Let the horse climb up and see if I am scared."

"I am not trying to scare you. I just want to go back quickly. You have to believe me. I can build a chicken farm for those cavalrymen. I am a good person." Zhang Xiaobao wiped the water on his face and touched the inside of his legs as he explained.

"Believe you? How can you believe an international swindler? It is better to believe that pigs can climb trees and roosters can lay eggs. At least there is a possibility of genetic mutation. What? Does it hurt? Don't you have good riding skills? "Wang Juan said with a bit of schadenfreude.

"That's why I said that I am a practical person. If it hurts, it hurts. It is better than some people who say that it doesn't hurt. After a few times of pain, it will be fine. Don't forget, we are the same kind of people. We don't care about this kind of pain. Jia!"

After replying to Wang Juan, Zhang Xiaobao urged the horse again. The combined weight of the two people was not as heavy as an adult, especially those strong bailiffs. One of them could reach twice their weight. The two of them were light and didn't carry any weapons. The needles in their sleeves didn't count.

*****

"Faster, faster. Do you see two children riding horses in front of us?" Li Cheng was sitting in the carriage. It was not easy to resist a bumpy carriage with four horses. He endured the feeling of nausea and asked the driver loudly.

"I don't see them. Maybe they went the wrong way." The coachman shouted loudly and waved his whip to make the horses go faster. He also felt a little ashamed. This road was directly passed through. A carriage with four horses couldn't catch up with the horses ridden by two children. If this was known, it would be shameful.

"Faster, it is impossible to get lost. Wait, overtake the carriage in front and ask them." Li Cheng was also depressed. He was delayed for a while, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the horse in front. He didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's riding skills were so good. When he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked in front, he found that the carriage of the two children was not slow.

"Do you see your son?" When they passed the carriage, Li Cheng shouted to the opposite side from the window.

"I don't see him. He must be in front. You can see the hoof prints on the road. The hoof of that horse is a little different from other horses. It is bigger."

Shiliu hurriedly replied. At the same time, she urged the carriage to hurry up. The other party had already overtaken them. As for the hoof prints, of course, she did not see it. The male servant who came with her used to be a hunter and was very good at tracking. Otherwise, he would not have been sent.

"I know. Go after them." Li Cheng couldn't see the difference of the hoof prints, but he believed that the people in the carriage were also anxious. After all, their master was in front of them. What if the two children were in danger? He should be trusted by them.

"Hurry up, at this speed, we will be back before noon. The horse is good." Zhang Xiaobao also said to Wang Juan at this time.
