Chapter 89: Name
Yes, the reorganized Kan country’s cavalry is actually the Cavalry Army of the past, just with a new name and a different master.
In strict terms, Tie Dan is also Cavalry, and the human-faced dog was trained using the scout’s methods.
Or to put it more broadly, the entire north, the border troops of Kan and Gen Countries, and the vassal border guards are all Cavalry Army brought up by the Great General.
After all, the war during Emperor Wu’s time was fought with the power of the entire nation, with all the elites under the Great General’s command, ensuring unified military tactics and strict obedience to orders.
Specialized for battling groups of tens of thousands of demons on the Yin Mountain Ice Field, not only an elite Cavalry was formed, but also the army’s strategy, tactics, training manuals, and even armor, banners, signal arrow military commands, and even iron swords and strong crossbows were all part of a complete military heritage.
After victory, when the Guardian Immortal Army returned south, it was naturally impossible to dismantle the armories and take away all the military equipment. To guard against the resurgence of the Demon Clan and rebels of alien races, even if the garrison on the ice fields changed time and again, the military codes and equipment were transmitted intact, just like the Cavalry Army back then.
Perhaps at that time, when the Three Constellations gave Marquis Zhongshan the title of General of Cavalry, they were worried he wouldn’t be able to suppress the Kan Country Master, so they specially gave him such a heavy title. But who would have thought that such a brutal, murderous madman could actually win the hearts of the army and earn the allegiance of the remnants of the Cavalry Army?
In the end, in this place, in this purgatory, how many of those who survived were kind-hearted and merciful?
So people from the Central Plains might always think Tie Dan, at such a young age, is cold and ruthless, and too heavy-handed in killing—does he have an inherent antisocial tendency or a personality problem?
Alas, it’s really Heaven’s blessing, but that’s because Tie Dan grew up on the battlefield of the highest intensity, really getting used to it!
