C1549 The little emperor who does as he pleases (1/2)
Speaking of famous ancient horses, the Chinese people subconsciously thought of the Central Asia's Ferghana Horse, but that was not the case in Europe.
Actually, the Ferghana Horse and the Arabian Horse were both considered hot-blooded horses, and this kind of hot-blooded horse was a representation of speed. Its sprinting ability was astonishing, and the most important point was that it was beautiful.
That's right, the Arabian Horse was the ancestor of almost all famous horses in Europe. It was a pure-blooded horse from England, an Andalusian horse from Andalusia, a Hanover scold, and a Don River horse from Russia … These famous horses all had the genes of Arabian horses.
It was precisely because of the strong rise of Islam in the Middle Ages that the horses of the Arabian flowed into Europe and crossed with the local horses to form a unique breed of horse.
No matter what era, even if it was the twenty-first century, where Xiao Letian lived in his previous life, to be able to have a Arabian Horse with a pure blood was a privilege that only the wealthiest families could enjoy.
In those days, you might have been able to afford a ten million luxurious car, but a purebred BMW wasn't something that a wealthy person could afford.
In the 19th world, it was the same logic. In Europe, only the upper class aristocrats could own such a famous horse, not to mention the distant east direction. Only Xiao Letian, this rich and powerful guy, could purchase a batch of horses from the Arabian and distribute them to the senior military officers.
A half-grown boy being able to ride such a mighty Arabian Horse, his identity was already known to everyone. The commander of the front lines, a senior Chu Zhao, looked at him and started to sweat profusely.
”Your Majesty! How did he get to the front... guard company will immediately take action, and protect his majesty!
Chu Zhao was so anxious that his voice had changed. Great Qing Emperor Tongzhi was still being chased even when she had reached the front line.
The Division had always been protected by the guard company, so they could not afford to protect their teachers anymore. These older soldiers crazily mounted their horses, and like crazy, they rolled up a snow dragon on the ground and charged forward to welcome the incoming attack.
”Your Majesty! This way... 2nd Platoon, 3rd Platoon, charge towards the enemy, harass them from afar, and lure the enemy away … ”
Zai Chun's face had turned red from the cold and his nose was dripping, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart, ”Ignore them, I have set up an ambush for the enemies, you guys just wait and see the good show …”
The guard company leader led his men and surrounded Zai Chun, and reached out to avoid the reins, ”Your Majesty, why have you come here? And you... How did you protect them!? ”Hurry up, let's go …”
”I'm not leaving. I want to face this battle in person. I want to see all of you kill the enemy …” My trap hasn't worked yet! ” Zai Chun struggled wanting to charge out, but the black horse she rode was one head taller than the other horses.
At that moment, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from the forest on the west bank of the river. The enemy had finally caught up with them.
Pah pah pah … Bullets were shooting everywhere. Awoo, awoo, awoo … The beast-like howls continued without end. A horse galloping through the forest was already visible in the open ice in front of them, as well as the plain in front of them.
”Chase after him!” Those people riding big horses must be famous officials! ”Capture them alive …” With a ”pu” sound, the latter half of the sentence was cut off. A red line on this arrogant cavalry soldier's neck spurted out blood, and his head quickly tumbled to the ground like a rubber ball.
