"Lend us some leather horses. We'll herd the sheep. With horses, one person can take care of a large flock of sheep. The others will help you build a stronghold. "
The influential people among the vagabonds borrowed horses from Guo Zhiyun, who came to check the situation.
Their horses were young. With horses, they helped each other herd the sheep. The others went to work for the Tang dynasty.
When they saw the army of the Tang dynasty arrive, not only did they not offend them, they even taught the children and gave them money.
The children's families received money. Even if they lost their children, they could still have an income.
Compared to the previous Tubo, the vagabonds were worried that the Tubo would attack again.
The children of Tubo were still illiterate. What would they think if they found out that their children were reading?
The most likely possibility was that their children would be caught as slaves. So what if they could read? Be my slaves.
A group of horses with running injuries and arrow injuries were sent over. They could not be used to charge in battle, but they could be herded.
Some of the injured horses were slowly nurtured. Perhaps they could be raised to fight again.
The locals knew how to raise horses. They had a lot of horses. The Tubo people wanted to fight, so they 'borrowed' them.
"Are your horses among the Tubo horses that we caught? Go and recognize them. "
Guo Zhiyun saw a horse that was sent over run to a person and rub its head against the person. He thought of this.
"Yes, don't be afraid. Let me see where you're hurt. I'll give you good food in the next few days." The horse was about to cry when it went to recognize its master.
He touched the horse's mane and examined it carefully.
There was a piece of hair missing from the thigh of the horse's right hind leg. There was a suture line there, and the bandage was torn. There was pus and blood on the bandage.
Looking at the wound, it was obviously shot by an arrow and then treated.
The horse's master pressed on the bandage, and more pus and blood came out. The horse moved in pain and quickly stood up.
"Can I rub grass ash on it?" He asked the Winged Knights.
The Winged Knights came over to take a look. "Use alcohol to rub it and control the horse. It hurts.
Change a new bandage and leave a drainage hole in the suture.
See if you can ride it. Take care of the ones that can't be ridden.
After ten days or half a month, more things will come and you can share. "
"Then, can we use this method on injured people?" The owner of the horse realized the advantage of suturing.
"It's meant to be used by humans. We don't have many casualties, so we'll treat the horses if they can survive."
"I've learned it. Sew!"
"You can't sew it blindly. You have to disinfect it. You don't have a pressure cooker, so you can't cook the thread unless you soak it in alcohol."
"You can teach us how to sew ourselves when we are injured by wild beasts."
"I'll teach you in the future. There aren't any wild beasts recently. We'll hunt them down, chase them away, and send their furs back."
"Can't I stay? We'll do the work and you'll give us the fur. "
"Your processing skills are not good enough. Go back and process them before sending them back."
"Craftsmanship means how to clean up the fur?"
"Yes, the Li Family Zhuangzi's craftsmanship is the best. He can handle a lot at once."
"The Li Family Zhuangzi is a tribe?"
"No, the Li Family Zhuangzi is … the foundation of the Tang dynasty. We need good technology from the Li Family Zhuangzi. "
"You have to protect it well. Don't let anyone snatch it away."
"Yes, we've been protecting it."
The local kept asking. He wanted to know more information from the Winged Knights.
The Winged Knights were willing to tell him that the local people would become the citizens of the Tang dynasty in the future.
The other local people went to the horses. The horses were not tied up and were eating grass with their heads lowered.
Whistles and shouts sounded one after another. Some of the horses were eating and suddenly raised their heads. They ignored the grass and ran in the direction of the sound.
When they saw their owners, some of the horses ran in circles around them. Some of them rubbed their heads against them.
Some of the horses turned sideways and looked at their owners, meaning to come up and take them for a ride.
The people who found their horses were happy. The people who shouted for a while but didn't get a response showed sad expressions.
They knew that the horses were dead. They probably became food in the stomachs of the soldiers.
Wang Junkui organized people and told the people who lost their horses that if there were any injured horses, they could choose them. When they were healed, they would keep their horses.
After registration, they asked the others how many horses a person originally had. After checking, they would give the person the same number of horses.
The Military forces of the Tang dynasty captured many Tubo horses and distributed the injured ones to the local people.
When the local people's horses were all dead, they quickly went to choose horses. They chose stallions and mares.
They also discussed with the others and asked their neighbors to choose a good stallion to breed with their own mares. They would keep the first horse and give the second horse to the neighbor.
"If we occupy this place, the Tang dynasty won't lack horses in the future. The relay station will be able to send things faster."
Guo Zhiyun smiled and said when he saw the local people choosing their favorite horses.
"They can only give birth to one pony a year at most. Three years later, the ponies will give birth to ponies again. Why don't we rob them? Rob the Arabs of their horses."
Qin Li shook his head. How many years would it take to increase the number of horses? It was too slow. Robbing was too fast.
"Buying is also fine. You can exchange things with the Arabs and the other side. The Tuqishi and Turks are in the way. "
As Old Monkey spoke, he looked to the northwest where the Arabs, Tuqishi, and Turks were.
The original way to exchange goods was cut off. Those people were too despicable.
"When the number of guns is enough, we can get the guns and kill them all." Qin Li comforted Old Monkey.
"We have to wait until next year. It's too early. When the time comes, do we go back or continue to stay here?" Old Monkey couldn't wait to open the way.
Zhang Zhongliang, who was beside him, suddenly interjected, "Gun? The gun that Officer Guo used in Songzhou? "
"No, it's worse than that. There's only one gun and it can't be used casually. The other one is also quite useful. It has a longer range than the crossbow." Old Monkey waved his hand.
He didn't want Guo Ziyi's gun to appear on the battlefield. It was said that the bullets were exchanged with Dongzhu's life.
Zhang Zhongliang had never seen it before. "Useful? Can it withstand a charge? "
"Can a crossbow withstand a charge? Cavalry is not useful. Dongzhu said that he didn't develop a better flaming hat. "This time, it was Qin Li who answered.
He had used a new gun before. It had a longer range than the crossbow by a large margin.
It needed extra gunpowder to ignite it. It was inconvenient to use it while running on horseback.
When he had a better flaming hat, it was not as fast as the crossbow, but it also saved a lot of energy.
There were advantages and disadvantages. In a battle in the wild, the cavalry's crossbow was more important. The infantry's spear formation was more powerful.
When used to defend and attack a city, it was simply a divine weapon. Even if it was an older child, he could still easily kill the enemy if he was given a gun.
"It's not as good as the Sky Monkey." Wang Junkui muttered.
"The gunpowder of a Sky Monkey can make tens of thousands of bullets. Of course, the Sky Monkey is useful. It can fly further and explode a large area."
Old Monkey said with an attitude that said, "You don't know the cost of firewood."
Who didn't know that the Sky Monkey was useful? The key was that it had a lot of money. Every explosion was a clanking sound of money. No, it was money.
"I'll write a letter back and see if I can bring a few to use." Guo Zhiyun thought of an idea.
"Probably. Dongzhu is willing to let the soldiers at the frontline test the results." Qin Li also wanted to try.
He could row the boat out of the enemy's crossbow range and shoot from the boat.
