A group of fifty cavalrymen galloped through the grasslands bordering Liang Mang toward a pasture heavily guarded by soldiers. Beiliang placed unparalleled importance on horse control. Every single one of these cavalrymen carried a saber and crossbow, and their warhorses were all of the best quality. Clearly, they were the elite fighting force of the Beiliang.
Of the eighty types of horse stalls in Beimang, other than the crow stalls that Dong Zhuo had raised with countless gold and silver taels, there were no other enemy scouts that the crossbowmen took seriously. This was not because the crossbowmen were blindly conceited, but because they had slowly accumulated their self-confidence through countless close combat and bloody battles. As for the White Horse Scouts, which could be considered the most majestic of the crossbowmen, to put it bluntly, any one of these cavalrymen would have to make a detour and make way for them. Moreover, they would be wholeheartedly convinced of their superiority!
This group of former members of the Little Snow Battalion had just accumulated enough military merit to be promoted to the White Horse Scouts. Thus, they had been specially granted permission by the Beiliang Protector-General, Chu Lushan, to go to the Xianli Pasture to select warhorses. If these fifty cavalrymen did not deserve to be proud, then who else in the world deserved to be proud in front of them? During the assault that had turned the Southern Dynasty into a sieve last year, this group of cavalrymen had opened a path for the eight thousand Long Xiang Army and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. They had uprooted more than ten Beimang beacons and beheaded no less than two hundred people. Of the fifty scouts that had penetrated deep into the hinterland, only four were left alive! They were the group leader Li Hanlin, the group leaders Lu Dou and Li Shiyue, and the group leader Hutou.
Among the 46 new riders, most of them were old scouts, but there were also some who were transferred from the Long Xiang Army to the Little Snow Camp. For example, the youngest group leader and the youngest crossbowman was a baby-faced teenager named Flea. He used to be a cavalryman of the Long Xiang Army. He participated in the Battle of Hulukou and killed four enemies, which was not too shocking. However, he killed 18 horses, which made the recorder who recorded the military exploits speechless. This teenager, whose ancestors were herdsmen of the border, also made people dumbfounded. He didn't want the military exploits, but he squatted beside his beloved dead horse and wailed, which shocked Yuan Zuozong and the deputy commander of the cavalry. Old General He squatted beside the kid and tried to comfort him for a long time, but it was useless. He was so angry that he slapped the kid's head and angrily asked his retinue to bring him a horse that he had ridden for less than half a year. The teenager didn't show any politeness to Commander He and accepted it unwillingly. He even had a bastard attitude of accepting it. If Yuan Zuozong didn't drag him away, the bad-tempered Commander He would have kicked the little bastard.
This was not a joke. When he had just become a crossbowman, Sergeant Hong Run had already suffered. In the end, he was beaten into a pig's head by the nimble young man. The young man's martial arts were not methodical. His skills were all unorthodox, especially his horsemanship. He was so skilled that he could lie down and sleep on the back of a galloping horse. Among them, only Sergeant Li Hanlin could touch Big Flea. In fact, if it was a fight, Sergeant Lu Dou could easily defeat the young man. However, he could not withstand the repeated defeats of this rash young man. Lu Dou could not really kill this stubborn child. Besides, he was not in the mood to tease this subordinate. In the end, only Sergeant Li Hanlin could "kiss" Big Flea.
Now that they were close to Xianli Ranch, one of the best places in Beiliang, the air was filled with the strong smell of horse dung. The 50 cavalrymen almost sniffed at the same time. Their faces were full of intoxication. Many men in brothels would not feel so comfortable lying on the soft and tender bodies of women. Standing on the back of Big Flea's horse, it was as if his feet were nailed to the horse's back. He looked around and quickly made a gesture unique to the crossbowmen of the Little Snow Battalion. Deputy Commander Li, who had received the "enemy intelligence", laughed and scolded, "Flea, you've gone crazy from wanting to fight. You haven't even tasted a woman before. You're such an energetic young man. Last time, when Commander Li took us to the brothel, we all thought that one of them was too little. We were afraid that Commander Li's prestige would be affected. Look at Fang Hutou, he only called three sisters. He wasn't worried at all that our Commander Li's purse wasn't full at all. Look at you, you're squatting in front of the door, saying that you're going to keep watch for us.
Aren't you ashamed? "Fang Hutou, who looked fierce but had an extremely gentle temperament, chuckled and touched his lips.
Flea curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What sisters? You're calling them aunts. Sergeant Li used to say that old cows eat young grass. Fang Hutou, on the other hand, said that young cows eat old grass. What a waste. What's the difference between that and a colt eating grass? I think it's shameful! "
Fang Hutou grimaced.
Li Hanlin chuckled softly and said, "That brothel in Liangzhou's frontier fortress is not bad. But compared to my hometown in Lingzhou, it's really far away. If there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to Lingzhou to 'ride horses'. There are plump women, thin women, tall women, petite women, pointy chins, perky butts, and big breasts. There are all kinds of women."
Riding horses was a term used by Beiliang Frontier Army. More than 40 cavalrymen behind Li Hanlin had drooling faces. There were also people like Li Hanlin who wiped their mouths and drooled. Only the young man rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are fooling around. Don't drag me into it. I'll be fine as long as I have a big flea. If there's a girl I like in the future, I'll go through the wedding ceremony with her. "
A bald cavalryman who was sitting cross-legged on the back of a horse had a sweet grass stem in his mouth. He laughed and said, "Flea, don't tell me you like men. What do you think of me? I'm a man who weighs 200 pounds. I have muscles, stamina, and spear skills. If you don't like me after you try me, you can always return me. "Flea was a flea.
However, he had been in the army for many years. He had heard all kinds of dirty words. He glanced at the big bald man and said, "Xie Gong, go and ride the mare you're sitting on. No wonder I hear your little date screaming in the stable every night. Take it easy. It's Beiliang's iron law to treat the war horses well. If you, Xie Gong, really hurt Little Date, even our platoon leader can't protect you."
Li Shiyue, Fang Hutou, and this group of rough men all roared with laughter. Xie Gong didn't seem to mind at all, shaking his bald head and laughing to himself, not forgetting to bend down and pat his mount's back. This man who had once used his fingers to gouge out the eyeballs of a Northern Mang scout and eat them used an exceptionally gentle voice to say, "Little Date, don't lower yourself to our squad leader's level. It's easy to reason with someone who's high enough to bully others. "
Originally, the crossbowmen didn't have the habit of giving nicknames to their war horses. However, the young man had given each of the fifty war horses a name, such as Xie Gong's Little Date, Fang Hutou's Big Yuan, Li Shiyue's Mei 'er, and Kang Zhen's father-in-law. No one could escape this calamity. Over time, everyone tacitly agreed.
Flea suddenly shouted, "Platoon leader!"
Li Shiyue rolled his eyes and said, "You're the only one who shits and pees so much. Big or small? Can't you bear it any longer? It's only a few steps until we reach Xianli Horse Farm. "
For the first time, the young man said embarrassedly, "Small."
Li Hanlin snapped his fingers. The fifty men immediately separated from their horses and stood in a row. They pulled their Beiliang blades behind their backs and unbuckled their belts in unison. The fifty war horses stopped at almost the same time. They turned around and slowly stopped behind their masters.
Beiliang had three hundred thousand cavalrymen, and the war horses were their wives.
Moreover, they were much more obedient than real wives. They would never leave their wives.
How many Beiliang cavalrymen had died on the battlefield? And how many war horses had starved to death after their masters died?!
"Platoon leader, I heard that last time you went to Beimang with Deputy Lu and Li Shiyue and killed your way north, you liked to use barbarian heads as urinals?"
"Bullshit."
"Platoon leader, why are you being so modest? The brothers of the Little Snow Battalion all said so. Even the lieutenant didn't deny it. Deputy Lu, don't you think so? "
"Little Biao, you're still too young and ignorant. What's the use of asking Blockhead Lu? You should ask the wise and handsome Lord Li Shiyue. I'll tell you the truth …"
"Li Shiyue, Li Shiyue, you peed your pants."
"Ah? Damn you! You dare to lie to me? Little Biao, you've just had sex in a brothel and you dare to make fun of Lord Li Shiyue? Take this! "
"F * ck you, Li Daibiao, can you do it? Why did you pee all over my body? Go and pee on a ladle …"
"Alright, alright, stop! Same old rules, whoever pees the furthest will have their war horse eat first. Who is it today? "
"Li Shiyue!"
"Yes, it's definitely you, Li Shiyue. This pee will definitely be all over Beimang!"
"That's right, that's right. Other than Li Shiyue, who else can pee so flirtatiously? Whoever is shameless, come out! I'll be the first to slap him! "
"Damn it, I can tolerate other people's flattery, but it's clearly you, Gao Changhong, who peed the furthest. You're still a platoon leader, can't you have some backbone?! Li Shiyue, even if this bastard peed the furthest, he can only be the trash at the bottom. So you'll still be the first, it's a done deal! "
Lu Dou facepalmed. Having such a group of shameless subordinates was really a headache.
Li Hanlin, the platoon leader, kept a straight face and nodded his head seriously. He fastened his belt and mounted his horse.
After a short period of laughing and joking around, the fifty white horse scouts all mounted their horses again. No one was standing, sitting, or lying down sloppily. All of them straightened their backs. The fifty riders' charged 'into the gate of the Xianli Ranch in succession. There were only fifty men, fifty swords, and fifty crossbows, but the domineering aura of' whoever blocked the way would die 'was vividly displayed in this silent and austere charge.
The soldiers on the horse ranch's arrow tower stared blankly at the fifty riders. Their hearts swayed, and their faces were filled with worship and reverence from the bottom of their hearts.
