Chapter 6: cannon
There is a reason why Wang Sheng did not praise Chen Cang.
The year before last, a new recruit came to the army, and his horse skills were as good as Chen Cang's.
He once praised the man a few times, but the man died the next day.
Last year, another newcomer came to the army, and his horsemanship was even better than Chen Cang.
He once praised the man a few times, but the man died on the third day.
After that, he never dared to praise the newcomers for their good skills.
With the lessons learned, he now decided to be conservative and not praise Chen Cang.
He continued: "What does it mean to be able to ride a horse? The most important thing is to be able to fight the enemy on a horse! One person, one shot and one horse, taking the enemy's head among a million troops, that is the most powerful."
Chen Cang kept his attitude low and listened quietly, as if you were right.
Indeed, it is not enough to simply be able to ride a horse, but also to be able to do some difficult movements on horseback.
Therefore, he still has a lot to improve.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the pasture outside the city."
Having said that, Wang Sheng rode on the little mare and drove the five young horses out of Liangcheng.
Although the little mare is small, it is full of power. With Wang Sheng, a sturdy man on his back, there was no problem at all.
Chen Cang rode the black old horse, followed closely behind, and went north.
Their speed was not very fast. After about an hour, they reached a meadow outside the city.
Looking around, it is a wasteland, with some wild grass growing sparsely, and a few trees, but they have already lost their leaves.
The early autumn has come, the pasture is withered and yellow, and there is no vitality in the past.
In this season, horses mainly eat some dry grass.
This is the last time for grazing. When winter comes, the snow is flying and the snow is so thick that even the grass roots are not eaten.
Wang Sheng pointed to the wasteland in front of him and said, "The terrain here is relatively low and humid, and it is a rare grassland. It is surrounded by deserts and no weeds grow. This is also the only grassland in our camp, and outsiders are not allowed to graze here. "
"Can't other military camps work?" Chen Cang asked.
"No." Wang Sheng replied solemnly, "The army has already been assigned, and each has its own pasture."
"Okay, I see." Chen Cang nodded.
Chen Cang looked at it, not looking at the vast wasteland.
However, the grass here is limited, and it is enough for seven or eight horses to eat it.
If there were too many horses, they would devour all the grass roots.
At that time, like other places, this pasture will become a sea of sand and no grass will grow.
It's not that I don't want to raise more horses, but that the pasture has its limit.
Wang Sheng continued: "The barren bandits are ghosts and ghosts, and no one knows when they will appear and where they will appear. If you see the enemy suddenly attacking, you must send the information as soon as possible."
Although there are specialized scouts, no one can guarantee that they will be foolproof.
Therefore, the soldiers who let the horses also have the task of reconnaissance.
In this era, there is no telephone, and it is time-consuming and laborious to transmit information.
If you encounter an enemy raid, you can light the wolf smoke on the beacon tower.
Lighting cigarettes during the day and lighting at night is the main way for the border to transmit dangerous information.
However, there is a simpler and more timely delivery method.
That's the "Crossing the Sky Cannon".
This kind of thing was invented by alchemists.
I ignited the cannon, flew into the air, and then exploded, producing a bright light.
When people in the distance saw it, they knew there was danger.
However, this thing is rare, far less popular than the wolf smoke.
Mainly, only alchemists can make them, and the number of alchemists in the Great Moon Kingdom is limited, no more than ten.
And, only alchemists are qualified to make this thing.
If you are not an alchemist, and if you accidentally create something like the Sky Cannon, it will be no different from a treason, and you will be beheaded.
Suddenly, Wang Sheng took out a black thing from his body.
"This is?"
"This is the Sky Cannon."
"what?"
Chen Cang looked at the thing in front of him, and it was really unexpected. This thing was a "cannon."
This thing is different from what I imagined.
The color is dark, stubby and stubby, with a line, and the appearance is extremely poor.
He looked at Chen Cang and said solemnly, "This is a scarce commodity, and we only have one in our camp. If you are in danger, turn your head up and pull the thread."
He demonstrated it twice seriously, for fear that Chen Cang would not learn it.
"Okay." As Chen Cang said, he took the Sky Cannon.
Who hasn't played this thing in the previous life, but it has become a scarce resource here.
Wang Sheng saw Chen Cang playing with the Sky Cannon at will, and immediately warned:
"You must take good care of it, and you must use it at critical moments, you know? If you use it to spread false news, that's a big sin."
"Okay, I see." Chen Cang nodded.
It wasn't until he put away the Sky Cannon that Wang Sheng felt relieved.
Wang Sheng also told Chen Cang that he had to return to the city before the sun went down. Otherwise, the chances of encountering wild beasts will increase a lot, which is very dangerous.
Then, he rode a little mare and returned to Liangcheng.
Seeing Wang Sheng just go back like this, Chen Cang suddenly touched his head, didn't he say he wanted to teach me instant kung fu?
Look, he brought all the weapons.
"Hey..." Chen Cang couldn't help but sigh.
He looked around, the autumn wind was bleak, the wasteland was vast, and there was no one but him, only six horses.
An old horse and five ponies ate hay in the sun.
This place is their familiar pasture, and now is their time to eat and their happiest time.
Therefore, they do not have posthumous children, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is pretty good.
Chen Cang watched Wang Sheng's back disappear, and said softly, "Since you can't learn kung fu right away, then you should practice the kung fu first."
Yesterday, he was still a person without cultivation techniques.
Now, he alone masters two exercises.
In a small border town like Liangcheng, there are not many people who can master two exercises at the same time.
One is the palm method, which was obtained from Wang Sheng.
One is a boxing technique, which was obtained from Fang Lie.
The palm technique is called Flaming Palm, and the boxing technique is called Manniu Fist.
He had already used the Flaming Palm and defeated Zhang Quan with the Flaming Palm.
Still the same, what Fang Lie learned from Fang Lie was not only the mantras of Manniuquan, but also his memory and perception of Manniuquan over the past ten years.
In other words, now Chen Cang is using the Bull Fist, which has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
This place is very empty, and it is a good place to practice.
He didn't hesitate. According to the formula of the exercises and his memory, he came under a tree and practiced Manniu Boxing.
The bull is a famous beast and a symbol of strength. Once you have mastered the Bull Fist, you can use your fist to smash the rough-skinned and thick-fleshed bull.
Cultivating the bullfight requires not only the strength of the fist, but also the whole body. The whole body needs to be as hard as the cowhide.
When Chen Cang practiced, he was very handy.
In order to protect himself and survive in this chaotic frontier, he practiced over and over again with great care.
One afternoon, Chen Cang was practising Man Niu Quan.
He sweated a lot and felt a little tired.
He sighed lightly: "Without meat to eat, my stamina is insufficient, and my body can't carry it all the time."
He looked at the horse that was grazing, "Horses eat grass, people eat meat, so we have to find a way to get some meat to eat."
