Chapter 119: Horseback Riding

Are you the top talent?

Obviously not!

Wu Fan was not able to get into any good university in reality, let alone in this time and space. He knew nothing about the exam knowledge and content in this time and space, so how could he pass the exam?

Therefore, if he wanted to improve his status, he seemed to have no other choice.

"But, I just want to make money." Wu Fan said unwillingly. He didn't want to be a soldier, he just wanted to make money.

"When you reach a high position, are you afraid of running out of money?" Zhou Shan said: "Look at the officials in the court, whether they are civil servants or military generals, which one is poor? Luxury houses, slaves, and fertile land are not all there."

Zhou Shan really took great pains to lure Wu Fan into the army.

Wu Fan felt that what Zhou Shan said made some sense, but when he thought about staying in the military camp from now on, he felt unhappy. The world was so big, and he still wanted to walk around, look for resources, etc. , staying in the military camp all day, what can he do?

What's more, what Zhou Shan said is indeed very tempting, but, as he thought before, there are so many soldiers in the army, how many of them can be crowned as marquises and prime ministers in the end? Even those high-ranking generals are only a minority. This road is not easy to walk, and it is not just a matter of ability. Just look at Zhou Shan in front of you and you will understand.

Is Zhou Shan capable?

Obviously there is. Zhou Shan is very good at both personal strength and military training. Wu Fan also believes that with Zhou Shan's strength, he will perform well on the battlefield. He should have made meritorious deeds. What's the result? Wasn't he still transferred to their motley army?

Therefore, although what Zhou Shan said was tempting and Wu Fan was indeed a little moved, he might not be so hot-headed as to choose to become a professional soldier and join the regular army.

"Think about mine. If you figure it out, you can tell me and I will help you run it." Zhou Shan said, "Now, let's practice riding skills first. Have you ever ridden a horse before?"

"No." Wu Fan shook his head.

"Okay, watch my movements clearly and listen carefully to what I say." Zhou Shan was not surprised that he had never ridden a horse. The number of cavalry was already scarce. Horses were precious strategic materials. The imperial court did not allow civilians to have war horses. , some are also ponies used for transportation, and the number is not large, so it is normal that many people have never been exposed to horses and cannot ride horses.

After Zhou Shan told Wu Fan, he put his hands on the horse's back and kicked his feet lightly. He turned over onto the horse with light and flexible movements.

"Horses have spirituality, especially war horses. You cannot treat them as ordinary livestock, but as your comrades in arms and your partners. Only in this way can you and it be able to cooperate tacitly and be invincible on the battlefield. A good war horse can sometimes save your life on the battlefield." Zhou Shan said, "Now, let me teach you some basic movements."

While talking to Wu Fan, Zhou Shan controlled the horse to run slowly. His body undulated as the horse ran, maintaining the same frequency as the horse. Obviously, Zhou Shan was a very experienced cavalryman.

After riding for a while, Zhou Shan controlled the horse to stop beside Wu Fan, and then turned over and dismounted, with an unusually steady pace.

"Come and try." Zhou Shan said to Wu Fan.

"Okay." Wu Fan also became interested. Horses in this era are more precious than modern cars, but not everyone has the opportunity to ride one.

However, it was Wu Fan's first time riding a horse, so it was a bit difficult to get on the horse. Moreover, the horse was not as obedient as before. It was not very cooperative with Wu Fan, a stranger. Naturally, his movements were not as graceful as Zhou Shan's.

"Don't be anxious, take your time, you are a newbie, this situation is normal." Zhou Shan said on the side.

Wu Fan worked hard and finally got on the horse. Then, he held the reins with both hands, a little nervously, and gently knocked the horse's belly in anticipation, and the horse began to run slowly.

Wu Fan suddenly felt excited, riding a horse and galloping on the battlefield. How chic and heroic was that?

However, when the horse's speed gradually increased, Wu Fan lost control and his whole body swayed, as if he was about to fall off the horse at any time.

Falling off the back of a high-speed Mercedes-Benz, even with Wu Fan's physical fitness, he would probably be injured. This scared him so much that he quickly leaned on the horse's back and clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly. Hold the reins with both hands to keep your body balanced.

"Don't be afraid, feel the horse's running with your heart, and keep the same ups and downs as it does." Zhou Shan's voice came from behind.

Wu Fan forced himself to calm down, straightened up slowly, and felt the frequency of the horse's running. He followed the way he had just walked around the mountain, and his body continued to rise and fall, trying to maintain balance. His feet were still tightly clamped on the horse's belly.

Wu Fan, who is very intelligent and wears a white crane jade pendant, quickly understood a certain pattern. Even the swing from side to side was not as big as before, and his body was more stable. Although the whole person was not as stable as Zhou Shan just now , but there is no longer the risk of falling off the horse.

"This kid's learning ability is too strong. Is he also so talented in horse riding?" Zhou Shan, who witnessed all this from behind, said to himself in shock.

From the way Wu Fan got on the horse and rode just now, it must be his first time to ride a horse. However, he was able to figure out the rules of riding a horse in such a short time and control the horse very well. Although, Wu Fan cannot be called a qualified cavalryman now. After all, cavalry is not as simple as just being able to ride a horse, but also needs to be able to fight on horseback, and Wu Fan can only control the horse in a preliminary way now.

However, this is already very good. You know, this is Wu Fan’s first time riding a horse, and he actually mastered the trick so quickly. With more training for a period of time, it is not a problem to become a qualified cavalryman.

"This kid is a natural warrior. It’s a pity if he doesn’t join the army!" Zhou Shan sighed, and he wanted Wu Fan to join the regular army and become a real warrior.

On the other side, Wu Fan didn’t know that his performance made Zhou Shan determined to join the regular army. At this time, he was still enjoying the feeling of fast Mercedes-Benz on horseback. The feeling of having a strong wind blowing in his ears and the scenery around him retreating quickly was quite wonderful.

After running for several laps, Wu Fan slowly slowed down, stopped beside Zhou Shan, and then got off the horse.

"How do you feel?" Zhou Shan asked.

"Very good." Wu Fan patted the horse's back and said.
