(( There's a particular rhythm in what Ouyang would teach his conscripts and recruits, and when he would teach them. After all, there's no point in trying to learn to fight from horseback if one isn't already a capable rider. Or inept with their weapons. Riley's learned enough swordsmanship to not pose a serious danger to himself or a horse. But he'd need to learn archery before trying that from horseback. ))
