The conditions proposed by Wu Haogu were a bit strange, which was to send people to watch the war by the Wanyan tribe, including observing the military appearance, training, and their battle with the Goryeo people.

In the words of later generations, it is to send a military observation team to Wanyan’s tribe!

With the same conditions, Wu Haogu also mentioned to Wu Yanchong, the secret envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, that the Song Dynasty needed to understand the combat power of the Goryeo Army first in order to further develop the friendly relations between the two countries! If the Goryeo Kingdom really had the strength to develop the Liao Dynasty, then everyone would be a brotherly country in the future...

Wanyan Aguda and Wu Yanchong agreed to the request put forward by Wu Haogu. The Song Dynasty and the Jurchens were not bound by at all, so they could only be friends and could not be enemies. The Goryeo Kingdom had always had a little ambition to restore the prosperous era of Goguryeo. Although they praised the Liao Kingdom, they always regarded the Song Dynasty as a potential alliance target, so they naturally did not care about showing their great military power to the Song Dynasty.

"Dolf, you must be the one who went to Goryeo to observe the military order. Although Goryeo is small, it is also a country of etiquette. Its food and use is similar to our Song Dynasty. There will be no need to be too much of the troubles of the local environment, but the sea route is a bit difficult."

This was said by Wu Haogu and Tong Guan when they rode their horses out of the city to hunt.

His current equestrian has improved a lot more than when he first came. He can run away with his hands and walk with his legs. He can use his hands to free up his bow. So when he rode out of the city today, he brought a buffalo horn bow. There was a scattered bag behind the saddle bag, and three arrows were inserted inside.

The buffalo horn is the best bow arm material of this era. The bow used by Wu Haogu was also a composite bow made and debugged by the best bow maker in Kaifeng Mansion after several months. It is a bow made of cow horns, wood, and tendons layer by layer. It is the best bow. Although the bow arm is not long and can be used on horseback, the number of stones is not high, only seven and a half dou, but its power is more than an ordinary one-stone long wooden bow.

The so-called Sanbuqi arrow is the name of splicing arrow shaft. The bamboo is used in the south, the willow is made of the north, and the birch is made of the north, which varies from the square. The rod is two feet long and the bead is one inch long, and its large end is also the one. Any bamboo arrow cuts four or three bamboos, bonded with glue, and is made of it by a knife light. The lacquer and silk are wrapped around the two ends, and the arrow clusters are called "Sanbuqi". The arrow shafts made of this kind of arrow shaft are also the best among arrows.

In addition, the same "three uneven" arrows are divided into three types: heavy arrows, light arrows and whistle arrows. The heavy arrows have thick body, large weight, and wide arrows, and are used for close shooting. The light arrows have slender body, light weight, and are used for long-range shooting. The whistle arrows are replaced by arrows with whistle, which is a tool for transmitting signals.

However, Wu Haogu only brought heavy arrows today because he can only accurately hit the target within dozens of steps, and he can't hit the target if he is far away.

The combination of buffalo horn bow and three uneven arrows is of course expensive. Only the squads in front of the palace can equip such good things.

The troops that really fight on the front line basically cannot be equipped with such good things.

Today, Tong Guan also brought his own bow and arrow out of the city, just like Wu Haogu. He also had a good configuration of buffalo horn bow and three uneven arrows. Although the troops were not equipped with much equipment, wealthy officers would still equip themselves.

So Lin Chong, Zhou Yunqing and Ximen Qing, who accompanied Wu Haogu and Tong Guan to leave the city, were also of this kind of "luxury" equipment.

In fact, if you want to ensure the quality of this kind of "artwork"-level equipment with complex craftsmanship and expensive price, only the wealthy soldiers brought their own products. Otherwise, they would have to spend the high-priced equipment from the court to get low-quality fakes...

The private purchase of buffalo horn bows and three-uneven arrows that you pay for is undoubtedly the best way to establish a bow and arrow manufacturing industry and improve the level of bow and arrow manufacturing.

So Wu Haogu is now thinking about setting up a "Bow and Arrow Grand Prix" in Jiehe, and spending 50,000 to 100,000 yuan every year as a bonus to attract Jiehe citizens to practice archery and buy advanced bows and arrows.

At the same time, Wu Haogu also plans to use archery as the recruitment examination for civil servants in Jiehe Shang City. In the future, if you want to be a public official in Jiehe, you must shoot a good arrow!

Wu Haogu himself practiced it himself, treating horse riding and hunting as the most important entertainment activity. If you flatter others, you will accompany your boss to eat, drink and have fun. Here in Jiehe, you have to accompany the head of state to ride horse riding and shoot archery!

If you can’t even ride a horse and shoot archery, then I’m sorry, the head of state will not look down on you!

Tong Guan was obviously a person who could be admired by the head of state. His horse was extremely casual. Today, he chose a stallion with a slightly irritable temper. He looked at the road carefully, and stood up on the horse's back as if he was showing off his horse's skills (this is the real skill of working as a light cavalry). He was also distracted to talk to Wu Haogu about his mission to Goryeo.

"We are just a horse-riding eunuch. I'm afraid of the difficulties? Our family is determined to go to Goryeo to visit the military deputy envoy."

The righteous man who went to Goryeo to observe the military appearance must be a hero who sang the name outside Donghua Gate, and Tong Guan could not do it.

"That's great," Wu Haogu smiled, "but the officials will not let the delegation take risks. Now a three-thousand-foot sea ship is being built in the yard of Jiehe Shang City. It is extremely strong and driven by sails. It can gallop like a flying sea no matter what the wind direction. When the ship is built, it will be used to carry the military convoy to Goryeo, as long as it can be guaranteed."

This 3,000-material sea ship is part of a series of transactions between Wu family and Wu Haogu. The ship craftsman sent by the Wu family started construction in the shipbuilding station in Jiehe Market. Wu Haogu himself participated in the project. The drawings of the warship drawn by him and Du Wenyu (there are hundreds of copies) were drawn by him and Du Wenyu, and he also created a ship model based on the drawings to conduct experiments on Jiehe River.

"Then our family will feel more at ease." Tong Guan nodded with a smile, "I dare to ask the guest province, who is the army really going to watch?"

"That's a secret envoy, you can't work with eunuchs and civil servants." Wu Haogu smiled, "I'll ask them when I see Mr. Murong and Brother Zhong."

Tong Guan asked with a smile: "Mr. Murong and Brother Zhao Zhong are here to hunt with us?"

"There are also the imperial knights they trained, with a total of 1,000 people. They will hunt in the wilderness south of the Border River for several days. Let's follow and take a look."

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows: "That's a personal soldier of the Tian family! Our family must have a good understanding."

"Okay! Then let's hurry up and hurry up."

...

A new tent was set up east of Jiehe Commercial City, south of Jiehe River, and close to the sea.

This camp is very different from the ordinary Song army camp.

Although the Song army was not strong in combat, the camping skills were never weak, including trenches, barriers, horse-resistance, deer forts, and watchtowers. Even a small camp would wish to make a city.

However, this camp was set up very scattered, with many open spaces in it. The trenches were narrow and shallow, and the villages were also tidy. Only the building was built more seriously, and the tall and large stood in the center of the camp.

In the eyes of the generals and officers of the Song Dynasty, this camp was definitely not qualified. However, if you were experiencing the prosperous Aguda of the Song Dynasty in Jiehe Market, you would know that the camp was still well established.

Because this is a camp for cavalry, the open space in the camp allows the brigade of cavalry to gather quickly and advance and retreat freely.

A camp that is too strong is completely redundant, because cavalry is not a unit used to guard the camp. If a real cavalry is used well, it will not allow the opponent to approach his own camp. With the reconnaissance ability of the light cavalry, it should have long been determined that the opponent's reality is true.

If you can fight, you will fight; if you can’t fight, you will leave. How can you stick to your camp?

Outside the camp gate, the sound of hooves was heard. The sergeant on duty at the gate of the village subconsciously widened his eyes and took out the buffalo horn bow, holding it in one hand, and taking out a three-uneven arrow from the quiver with the other.

Such a vigilant look didn't look like it was on the peaceful Song Dynasty land, but it seemed like it was really on the front line of fierce battles.

The one who came was Yiqiyuan, wearing a wide-collar leather robe, a red battle jacket, a leather hat, and leather boots. He rode on the horse and was swaying. It was the reconnaissance cavalry sent by this cavalry camp.

After entering the camp gate, the knight immediately slowed down and walked quickly to the front of the largest leather tent in the camp, then turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the armored soldiers guarding outside the tent, and then quickly walked into the camp.

"I have met Mr. Murong and Professor Zhao."

After entering the tent, the knight saluted two men in official uniforms who were holding tea bowls in the tent and talking while drinking tea, and then said, "There are about fourteen or five cavalry coming along the official road, and now they are about ten miles away from the camp."

The two in the tent were Murong Wangyou and Zhao Zhongge. They really had the spirit of standing in the last shift. Until now, they are still training Zhao Ji for the imperial knights. And they came according to the standards of the Liao Dynasty's palace soldiers, taking a mixed path of lightness and heavyness.

The knights in the East are different from those in the West. They all need to master riding and shooting and horse styling at the same time, so there is no distinction between the severity of skills. Of course, in terms of the use of troops, the generals should be distinguished from light first and then heavy.

Light cavalry is a must. Search, cover, harass, cover, and chase are all necessary. If not, it will be difficult to engage in field battles. The heavy cavalry is based on the sufficient number of light cavalry and is a unit that has the final say on the battlefield.

As for the current Song army, except for the Western Army having enough light cavalry, the cavalry is just a nameless name. The knights who can make cavalry shooting can only be said to be rare, and they are also scattered everywhere, either as coaches or as low-level military officers. Almost no one is serious light cavalry.
