Chapter 62 Double stirrups and spears are the best match
Liu Yu is a man with a quick mind. He also noticed the change in the tip of the halberd, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Instead, he jumped directly on the horse's back and waved.
Liu Yu put his halberd under his arm and rushed over on horseback. Right in front of him, there was a scarecrow that had been tied up early for the soldiers to practice.
The horse is running at high speed, as fast as the wind. Ever since he came out of Jingkou, Liu Yu has been riding this pure black horse.
He named it Zhui Feng and has become very close to it.
The horse took Liu Yu and ran straight away. Liu Yu aimed at the scarecrow's heart. When the horse was about three feet away from the scarecrow, he stabbed it hard!
puff!
With a slightly dull sound, the spear to the front end of the wooden pole pierced deeply into the scarecrow's heart!
"so amazing!"
"What a magical weapon!"
He Wuji looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. Only the vertical spear penetrated straight into the tightly tied scarecrow.
In order for the scarecrow to withstand the force of high-speed impact, the seemingly light scarecrow is actually filled with heavy wooden cores.
This kind of scarecrow was pierced by Liu Yu's spear and fell to the ground. Everyone could see that only the vertical spearhead had penetrated the scarecrow's back!
"I didn't expect that Xiaolang would have such profound knowledge in weapon modification."
"The spearhead can actually penetrate so deep!"
As Wang Mi's number one admirer, Duan Xian's rainbow fart has already been blown out.
Liu Yu was riding on his horse and was very satisfied with this new spear. It was very light and could be swung flexibly while riding on his horse.
Moreover, because the horizontal thorns have been removed, the vertical thorns can be inserted deeper into the scarecrow.
For cavalry, the lethality is even greater.
However, compared to Duan Xian, Liu Yu was much more steady. He kicked the stirrup with one foot and easily got off the horse.
The whole movement was so fluid and elegant that all the friends present were dumbfounded. The slave who had taken the weapon was indeed the living god of death!
There was only one person who was a little dissatisfied with him.
That is Wang Mi.
"Slave slave, is this spear useful?"
This is nonsense. You can tell by looking at Liu Yu holding the spear and looking left and right, unable to put it down, he must be very satisfied.
Liu Yu nodded repeatedly, extremely excited.
He announced loudly to everyone: "Everyone, this spear without the horizontal thorn is really useful. Secretary Wang is really a talented person!"
Tan Pingzhi also took it and waved it left and right: "It is indeed very light!"
He Wuji curled his lips, quite dissatisfied.
"Secretary Wang is not kind. Since you have such a handy weapon, why don't you make one for all of us? You are partial to Brother Nu."
Spears are more useful than halberds. This is not Wang Mi's whim. This is a fact that has been tested by the times.
Knowing that He Wuji and the others would definitely be dissatisfied with Liu Yu's special treatment, Wang Mi smiled happily and said: "Don't worry, everyone. When the effectiveness of this weapon is demonstrated on the battlefield, everyone will be convinced, and naturally everyone will have a share.
"
"Jinnu is very skilled in martial arts and is good at wielding a halberd. That's why I gave this weapon to him to try out."
What they said convinced everyone present, especially the two people who had lived in the North. Duan Xian and Tan Pingzhi immediately wiped away the resentment in their minds.
"Secretary Wang is right!"
"Those who are good at using halberds can use spears better!"
"Both of us prefer to use meteor hammers and maces. If we leave this spear to us, it won't be of much use!"
He is worthy of being Wang Mi's strongest flatterer. Duan Xian's words hit the nail on the head and there is no need for Wang Mi to explain himself.
Just now, everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the shining silver spear, but no one paid attention to the treasure hidden in the green leather bag.
Hey, there is no other way, Xiao Wang has to come and show the baby in person.
"However, if you want the spear to be more effective, this treasure is indispensable."
He unfolded the green cloth, and a pair of stirrups suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"Secretary Wang, all the horses in Beifu are equipped with stirrups, you don't need to send them any more!"
He Wuji walked up to Zhui Feng and lifted the stirrup beside him. Wang Mi was noncommittal: "Although there are stirrups, the way you use them is wrong!"
The stirrups in Wang Mi's hands were specially modified by him. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the cavalry used stirrups mainly to assist in mounting horses.
So to use it as a kick, you only need to install a stirrup on one side. But after the emergence of the double stirrup, the stirrup is no longer just an auxiliary tool for getting on the horse, but has become an important tool for soldiers to maintain balance while riding.
Correspondingly, the harness of this era was also made to accommodate the use of a single stirrup.
Wang Mi handed the pair of stirrups to Duan Xian and said with a smile: "These stirrups are best used if they are made in a pair."
"Sir Duan, please show us how to install the double stirrups."
Because the war horse Wang Mi rode had been changed to a double stirrup, Duan Xian was familiar with the installation method.
It didn't take half a cup of tea to install it with quick hands and feet. When the two stirrups, one on the left and one on the right, hung down on both sides of the horse's belly, He Wuji suddenly realized: "Secretary Wang, the horse you rode out of Jingkou is not
Is it just two stirrups?"
Xiao Wang was very pleased. It was not simple. Fortunately, he could still remember it.
"Dr. He is right. These stirrups allow a person like me who is not good at riding to sit firmly on a horse!"
Recalling Wang Mi's performance along the way, He Wuji couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he was so weak and helpless, yet so carefree on the horse.
It turned out that the secret weapon had been prepared long ago.
Duan Xian installed the stirrups, and Wang Mi invited Liu Yu to mount the horse. Liu Yu declined at first: "Secretary Wang, what's the difference between these double stirrups and a single stirrup? Aren't they both used for mounting a horse? I don't mind trying it."
"
Tan Pingzhi and the others basically had the same idea. They were not weak in martial arts. For them, stirrups were completely dispensable.
Don’t you have to try it to know if it works?
Wang Mi didn't talk nonsense to him and gave Duan Xian a wink. The latter immediately understood and pulled the horse Zhui Feng to Liu Yu with a few strides: "Captain Liu, please!"
"Listen to my young man, you're right!"
Although Duan Xian didn't know what magical effect this pair of stirrups had on marching and fighting, he still followed the principle of Xiaolang's words of wisdom.
Liu Yu had no choice but to mount his horse.
Wang Mi saw that he naturally put his feet outside the stirrups, and was heartbroken.
There is a long way to go to get these Jin people to develop the habit of stepping on stirrups and rushing to kill!
"It's just ordinary, there's no difference." Liu Yu sighed as he looked ahead.
After taking a few steps forward, Wang Mi suddenly pulled his ankle. Liu Yu was shocked: "Secretary Wang, this is impossible!"
Everyone was even more shocked: What is Secretary Wang doing?
Does the person who suddenly touches the slave have... any kind of fetish?
