    Whether Ma Haoxuan was in charge of business, or Kan Zeyu took over, or Zheng Ningji was later in charge of business, there was one thing that Li Rupei personally ordered to do, and that was to introduce a large number of excellent war horses. Cui Anqian once had some opinions in this regard. War horses are consumption after all.  Huge, but now it seems that Li Rupei's farsightedness is definitely not comparable to others.  The war horses of the Iron Blood Army were mainly Mongolian horses at the beginning. After training, the Mongolian horses did not frighten or explode on the battlefield, and were extremely brave. They have always been good war horses, but the Mongolian horses definitely cannot be said to be excellent war horses.  The shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is too short, not very fast, and not very explosive.  In order to change the situation of the iron-blooded army's war horses, Li Rupei made up his mind and used commerce to purchase a large number of Arabian horses and Kangguo horses at no expense. These horses were taller than Mongolian horses. After training, their combat effectiveness would not be inferior to  Mongolian horse, and its explosive power and speed are much faster.  Li Rupei¡¯s biggest achievement was the introduction of a large number of Dawan horses, the legendary horses with blood.  The Sweat Horse is the most precious war horse, and its combat capabilities are needless to say. In the eyes of the cavalry, this kind of war horse is extremely precious, even more precious than human life. When a large number of Sweat Horses were introduced, the Jagged Army's ordinary  The soldiers all thought it was a great honor to own a sweat-blooded horse, but they still did not fully expect Li Rupei's generosity. In five years, Li Rupei successively introduced nearly 10,000 sweat-blooded horses, all of which were equipped with the Iron-Blooded Army.  Among them, the special forces, scouts and officers of all levels in the Jagged Army, including the main cavalry, are all equipped with Sweat BMWs.  This has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Iron-Blooded Army.  In this expedition against Tubo and Longyou Road, the equipment of war horses is also very critical.  The plateau has a special climate. Horses, Arabian horses and Kangguo horses can all adapt to the plateau climate.  Facing the Tibetan army, which was dominated by Mongolian horses, it had a huge advantage.  In this battle, the 60,000-strong army was all equipped with sweaty horses, Arabian horses and Kangguo horses. Even the Kazakh horses, which were very good in the eyes of the soldiers, were eliminated.  After these war horses arrived in Songzhou, they underwent a period of training and completely adapted to the climate and environment.  Of course, the army is also equipped with some Mongolian horses and Ili horses. The main task of these horses is to transport food. Good war horses are used to transport food.  It's still a pity.  Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen, Qin Erhei and others all ride bloody horses.  Although there are many sweat-blooded horses in the iron-blooded army, from the highest level to the ordinary soldiers, they all cherish the war horses very much, especially the sweat-blooded horses. To a certain extent, the war horses even eat better than humans.  Even better.  Selected forage, fried soybeans, green beans, etc. are also provided with refined salt. When fighting, the war horses and soldiers are integrated into one.  With the help of war horses, soldiers can kill the enemy very well.  The Daxingtai government has no special requirements on how to take care of war horses, but Gao Chibang has strict requirements.  War horses must be taken care of. The role of war horses is crucial to whether a battle can achieve a decisive victory.  The reason why Li Rupei did not propose how to protect the war horses.  I know that many soldiers will take special care of war horses, especially the sweat-blooded horses, which are known as the king of horses. They are regarded as their darlings by the soldiers. Unless they are marching and fighting, they will take care of them seriously at other times.  , Li Rupei has his own different views on this situation. He believes that people are still more important than war horses. Even if it is a bloody horse, the value of the horse cannot exceed that of the soldiers.  It's a pity that Li Rupei's understanding is difficult to be echoed by the iron-blooded army. There is often a situation on the battlefield. In order to save the war horses, a seriously injured soldier will wave his whip and whip the war horse, which has never been willing to whip, urging the war horse to leave the dangerous position.  On the battlefield, it is a pity that war horses with deep bonds with soldiers generally will not leave.  A few years later, many soldiers finally understood why the Sweat-blooded BMW was called the king of horses. It was not only because of its ability to travel thousands of miles a day, but more importantly because of its human nature.  Once you identify your master, you will always be by his side and will never leave in times of danger.  Li Rupei¡¯s mounts were all pure white sweat-blooded horses. Emperor Taizong probably did not enjoy such treatment.  Throughout the Tang Dynasty, in terms of the equipment of war horses, the Iron-Blooded Army was the strongest, including the northern vassal towns. It was impossible to compare with the Iron-Blooded Army. Of course, this was also because of Li Rupei's huge investment in the procurement of war horses.  Don't be stingy.  Although the Daxingtai government has issued many training requirements, Gao Chibang and others still attach great importance to the training of war horses. They will not change their love for war horses, and they will not despise the bloody horses.The 60,000-strong army participating in the battle was ridden by 5,000 sweat-blooded horses. Officers, scouts, and special forces at all levels were all equipped with sweat-blooded horses. In addition, Zhu Wen's two thousand most elite cavalry were all equipped with horse-drawn horses.  Bloody BMW.  This is also Li Rupei's big move. He took out half of the bloody horses in the Iron-blooded Army and equipped them with the army, just to ensure the victory of the battle.  Two thousand scouts and special forces, all equipped with bloody horses, their combat effectiveness is needless to say. They can determine the outcome of the battle at critical moments and play a decisive role.  It's funny to say that the two thousand cavalry, all equipped with sweaty horses, have become Zhu Wen's darlings. Unless it is a very critical battle, these two thousand cavalry will all attack, and Zhu Wen has made strict requirements.  You must protect your war horses. These war horses are all precious horses. In the eyes of your opponents, they are treasures that are hard to buy for money.  Of course, Li Rupei once severely criticized a trend that emerged during training, that is, the bloody horses equipped by scouts and special forces. Because they cherished them too much, sometimes when they needed to ride horses, they were reluctant to ride them and would rather walk.  , this kind of situation has not been rare before. After all, the soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Army have never ridden such a precious war horse.  Li Rupei believes that whether it is a sweat-blooded BMW or a Mongolian horse, they all serve for combat. It is okay to cherish it on weekdays, but at critical moments, war horses must be put to use. Whether it is a sweat-blooded BMW or a Mongolian horse, if it is too  To cherish war horses and lead to setbacks in battle is to put the cart before the horse.  After Li Rupei reprimanded him, this situation changed. Of course, Li Rupei was also cruel. If someone made an investigation or combat error because he cherished the war horse too much, he would be deprived of the right to own the sweat-blooded horse. This rule is very fatal. Iron-blooded  Military officers regard the sweat-blooded horse as their second life. If they lose the sweat-blooded horse, half of their lives will be lost. Therefore, after implementing this method, the situation of over-valuing the war horses has been basically eradicated.  Of course, the love that soldiers have for war horses is still revealed in their words and deeds. During battle, if a war horse is lost, after the battle, all soldiers will hold a grand funeral to bury the war horse, from the general to the ordinary.  The soldiers all watched the war horses being buried. If the bloody horses were lost, it would be regarded as a serious loss in the battle. Even though the battle was won, the soldiers could not be happy.  This time Qin Erhei led 500 scouts out for reconnaissance, and lost nearly a hundred scouts in total, as well as 30 sweaty horses. After returning to Xiangyang, all the scouts burst into tears, both for their lost comrades and for their lost Khan.  Bloody BMW.  Gao Chibang and others attached great importance to the training of war horses this time, but they also fully implemented Li Rupei's requirements, that is, the war horses must play their role at critical moments. This battle is on a plateau, and the climate and environment are different. The war horses  The role of war horses is very critical. The sweat horses, Arabian horses and Kangguo horses are all better than the Mongolian horses. This has been proved by practice. Therefore, if you can train the war horses well and adapt the war horses to the climate environment, you can ensure the battle.  Achieve victory.  It should be said that the training of war horses for more than a month is also very good. The adaptability of war horses is far stronger than that of soldiers. This is an indisputable fact. As long as they can be fed carefully and protected on weekdays, war horses generally will not  If something goes wrong, besides, there are veterinarians in the army who specialize in treating war horse diseases. These veterinarians have a very high status and are respected by all soldiers, including Gao Chibang and others, who all value veterinarians. After all, if there is any minor problem with the war horses, these veterinarians will  Veterinarians can fix it.  The training of the war horses has achieved very good results, which is a better guarantee for the upcoming battle.  March is here in the blink of an eye, the season of spring flowers blooming.  The snow has begun to melt slowly. Of course, it is impossible to wait until all the snow has melted. That would require waiting until the end of April or the beginning of May. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army have made all preparations and are waiting for the arrival of March 20th.  The army will set off and march towards Tubo and Longyou Road.  All preparations have entered the countdown, and Xichuan Jiedushi Kan Zeyu came to Songzhou again.  When he came to Songzhou this time, Kan Zeyu was greatly surprised to see the mental state of many soldiers. Previously, he saw some soldiers who had difficulty adapting and were full of energy. The faces of all the soldiers turned bronze. If he didn't observe carefully, he would still be in trouble.  Thinking it was a Tibetan soldier, all this showed that the soldiers were fully prepared.  Kan Zeyu brought a large amount of grain and grass, which was to be transported to Tubo to ensure the supply of the army for marching and fighting. The next batch of grain and grass needs to be supplied again in May.  Most places in Xichuan have entered the spring plowing season, but in Tubo, it basically does not exist. Due to the relationship between the environment and climate, Tubo??Agriculture is very backward, and there are very few people growing food.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
