"What's the sound? It sounds like beating." As soon as he walked to the stable, Lu Su stretched his head and looked inside.

Gao Shun and Li Su didn't explain. They just invited everyone to go inside. After stepping into the door and looking around, they realized that the name stable was not accurate because it was a courtyard inside and could be reached by walking in two or three steps.

When I saw the stables, there were basically five horses occupying one stable.

"These are the horses sent by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang?" Sun Jian looked at the horses eating licorice and couldn't help but reach out and stroke them.

Li Su nodded and explained: "Exactly, General Dissatisfaction said that these horses were selected by Gao Shun and I from the thousands of war horses to be used as mounts for the soldiers trapped in the camp. Each one is worth more than one hundred thousand."

Money’s Dayuan Horse.”

"Then what was that noise just now?"

"Master, please continue to follow us forward."

Following Li Su's footsteps, a group of people came under the large wooden shed. Inside, there were more than fifty masters, just like Gao Shun, who were naked from the waist up, waving their powerful arms, and were familiar with hammering with big hammers.

Pieces of burnt red iron.

Everyone looked around the shed and saw a row of large wooden boxes on the far left, which contained a lot of "deformed" iron tools.

"What is this?" Sun Jian picked up one of the pieces and looked at it carefully. He saw that the small iron object in his hand was a D-shaped object with holes on both sides. He had never seen this thing in his memory.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other after hearing this, but they could only see confusion in each other's eyes...

"This thing is called a stirrup, where the rider places his feet." Wen Du, who was standing aside, explained lightly.

"How do you know the name of this thing?!"

Seeing Lu Su's eyes widening, Wen Du stared at him angrily. "Can't your little mind just imagine that I designed this thing?" Then he turned around and shouted at the blacksmiths.

: "Foreman, come here!"

When the latter heard the sound and saw that Wen Du was coming, he quickly put down the sledgehammer in his hand, quickly scooped up a ladle of water from the water tank next to him, poured it directly from his head, and washed away the sweat all over his body.

When he got to the ground, he quickly walked up to him and bowed his hands: "What orders did the supervisor give me?"

"This is our Lord Sun Jian." Seeing that the foreman only recognized himself, Wen Du quickly reached out and introduced his immediate boss to him.

The foreman was also very discerning and quickly knelt down on one knee and said to Sun Jian: "I have seen my lord in this humble position!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, lord!"

Sun Jian raised a stirrup and asked, "Let me ask you, what exactly is this stirrup?"

"Back to my lord, this is the item that Mr. Wendu gave me a drawing before and asked me to build. My lord, please see that there are two holes on both sides. The rope can be passed through here and then connected to the saddle. There are two holes on both sides.

There is a prop that riders can use to step on when getting on and off their horses.

What's more important is that this thing not only helps to move up and down, but its biggest function is to support the rider's feet when the horse is running. Not only can it more effectively maintain the balance of the person on the saddle, but it can also maximize the advantages of the cavalry." Everyone.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they exclaimed. Even Sun Jian praised with a smile on his face: "As you said, this thing is really not simple. With legs as support, it can free the cavalry."

Your own hands are more conducive to fighting."

fo

At this point in the sermon, Sun Jian asked impatiently: "Is there a sample for me to see?"

"Of course." The foreman nodded in agreement and hurriedly called someone to get a saddle. "Lord, look, the saddle we are using now is a saddle made of soft material and cannot be connected to the stirrup. But in Wendu

Under the advice of adults, we created the one in front of us, called the Takahashi Saddle. In addition to being able to connect the stirrups, the saddle with this structure can also give people more stable support and reduce the discomfort of the horse, and its performance is very superior.

"

With that said, under the watchful eyes of Sun Jian and others, the foreman threaded the rope through the hole with ease and connected the high bridge saddle and stirrups together, which again attracted applause.

"Can I try it now?!" Sun Jian, who saw the mood thing, couldn't control his restless mood and asked urgently.

Wen Du chuckled and comforted him by saying, "Master, why are you so anxious? There are still good treasures that haven't come out yet."

After saying that, he searched the big wooden box behind him and took out a crescent-shaped creation and displayed it in front of everyone. "This thing is called a horseshoe. As the name suggests, it is an iron block nailed to the horse's hoof."

"Nail it on the horse's hoof? Won't the horse feel pain?"

"Ah~ Zhou Lang, this is your knowledge blind spot." Wen Du shook the horse shoe in his hand twice, and explained to the crowd with a smell of an old professor: "The structure of the horse's hoof is relatively unique, because the hoof will be affected by the horse's hooves.

Because of the habit of running and being worn by the ground, the horse's hoof has long developed a self-protective layer. Outside the living cuticle of the horse's hoof, there is also a layer of cuticle about three centimeters thick, which is equivalent to our hands and feet.

We can also understand those nails on the body as protective nails or calluses.

Because horseshoes are in contact with the ground and have experienced friction on the ground, corrosion from turbid water, etc., they may fall off. The purpose of nailing horseshoes is to slow down wear and tear.

Horseshoes can not only protect the horseshoes, but also increase the ability to grip the ground, making them more powerful for riding and pulling. The only drawback is that they need to be replaced regularly, but in such a favorable situation, this is not a problem. "

"In other words, with these three things, we can free our hands to fight in the future, and the war horses can run faster, more stable, and have stronger impact than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's cavalry?" Sun Jianjiu

After going to the battlefield and some explanations from Wen Du, I have figured out the advantages.

"My lord, you are as smart as me, and you can make things happen with just a few clicks." While praising Sun Jian, Wen Du also didn't forget to bring himself with him. He was like "Giving roses to others, the fragrance lingers in your hands..."

"Can you let me experiment now?"

"Of course." After hearing the second request, Wen Du ordered the foreman to bring in a Dawan horse. In full view of the public, he cleaned its hoofs and buckled the red-hot horseshoes directly onto the horse's hoofs.

above the hoof.

True to what Wen Du said, even though the smoke was rising under the horse's hoof, the horse felt no pain at all. It cooperated very well and let the shoemaker nail all four horseshoes under his feet... After installing the saddle and stirrups,

After the horseshoeed colt was brought to the martial arts arena, Sun Jian stepped on the stirrups, easily climbed onto the horse, and galloped back and forth in the arena filled with onlookers.

Sun Jian put his feet in the stirrups and sat on the high bridge saddle. He only felt that he was as stable as a rock. No matter how fast he ran or how violent the turn, he was no longer afraid that he would be thrown off. At this moment, he

I just feel like a young man who can't even catch up with the wind.

"Bring me the bow!"

Sun Jian's excitement was at its highest. He was seen sitting firmly on top of his galloping horse. His bow was as full as the moon. He shot out three arrows with "swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

onto the archery target a hundred paces away.

"Two arrows hit the bull's-eye, one arrow has eight rings!" People nearby loudly announced Sun Jian's achievements, which attracted a burst of cheers and cheers.

"Why are you not happy at all?" Lu Su, who was watching the expressionless Wen Du as everyone cheered, was full of confusion in his words.

Wen Du breathed a sigh of relief and explained to him: "My lord has the blessing of stirrups, but one of his arrows missed the target. Lu Bu can kill the enemy a hundred steps away without relying on stirrups. The more props we use, the better it will be."

How superb is this man's martial arts..."

"Hey, what's so scary!" Lu Su hugged Wen Du's neck. "No matter how powerful he is, Lu Bu is only one person. We have Huang Zhong here, and Taishi Ci's bow skills are not worse than him.

There are many strong generals around, and even if he fights with more and less, he will definitely not be able to win!"

"I hope so." Wen Du looked towards the sky, hoping in his heart that the princes in the north would not imitate him and form an alliance like Liu Qi.

"Seti."

Wen Du, who was wandering in the world, was brought back to reality by this shout, and Sun Jian happily ran to him. "These good things must be produced vigorously! This is an important means for us to win over the northern princes!"

"Needless to say this, my lord, I know very well that I have given all the blueprints and forging methods to Yan Baihu, and they know what to do. And everything here is prepared to fall into the camp, and must not be misused

Move. Please pay attention, lord."

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. When I get back, I will order all outsiders not to try to defeat the camp's equipment. In addition, I will arrange for another hundred people to come over and make the three artifacts faster."

"Thank you for your understanding, lord. I want to correct one thing. There are not three artifacts, but four. There is also a pair of armor for the war horse. Because it is a bit troublesome to put on, I didn't mention it during the demonstration."

"Is there any next move?" Sun Jian was surprised again. The young man in front of him had been surprising him just today.

"That's right, it's stored in the previous warehouse. It was delivered along with the weapons and equipment."

"How is the performance? Can it block swords and guns?"

"It's also the highest-grade black iron, and it's also made of fish scales on the outside and chain mail on the inside. But unlike the previous cavalry, this time I even protected the horse's legs. I want to see how sharp their horse-killing swords are.

, or the war vest is strong." Wen Du knew very well that there was a disadvantage in doing this. The armor was too thick, which would cause the rider and the war horse to become hot. However, there was no way to win the war in the Central Plains. At this stage, he had to work hard on the cavalry.

, I can only say that we should try to avoid fighting in summer in the future...
