Volume 1, Entering the Tang Dynasty for the first time, Chapter 21, Horse Training and Harness
Lu Chen came to the white horse's separate stable, and was not in a hurry to approach. He stood more than twenty steps away from the stable, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers on the side to untie the horse's reins and open the stable.
Just as the stable door opened, the white horse rushed out like a bolt of white lightning, and its target turned out to be Lu Chen, who was standing there.
"Military advisor, be careful!" As soon as they saw the white horse rushing towards Lu Chen, everyone around them screamed in panic.
Seeing that the white horse was about to hit Lu Chen, Lu Chen dodged to the side, grabbed the horse's reins, and instantly turned over and sat astride the white horse's back.
Lu Chen's movements were so smooth and elegant. Fang Qi only knew that Lu Chen was good at it and had reported it to Li Xiuning, but no one thought that Lu Chen's skills could be so good.
Sometimes, he was able to get on his horse in a graceful manner.
"Okay!" Lu Chen's smooth movements directly received applause from the school grounds.
Bai Ma instantly felt that there was someone on his back, and became even more arrogant. He kept jumping forward and backward, and even stood up, just to throw Lu Chen off his back. Don't look at Lu Chen who was outside at this time.
In people's eyes, it is like a small boat in the stormy sea. In fact, Lu Chen has firmly grasped the horse's reins. His whole body is as if he is glued to the horse's back. No matter how hard the white horse exerts its strength, it cannot throw Lu Chen off.
.
However, all this was different in the eyes of Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen who was lying on the horse very worriedly. He was afraid that Lu Chen would be accidentally thrown off, and at the same time ordered the guards beside him to bow.
Wind it up and be ready to shoot the white horse and rescue Lu Chen at any time.
One person and one horse were competing in the school yard. The white horse wanted to throw Lu Chen off, but Lu Chen tried his best to stick to the white horse. He lay on the white horse's back and firmly held the horse's reins with his right hand.
, the left hand is constantly stroking the white horse's neck to soothe the white horse's emotions.
One person and one horse were in a stalemate for an hour. Finally, the white horse stopped running and jumping impatiently. It also knew that the person on its back could not be thrown away, so it gradually slowed down. Finally, Lu Chen tightened the reins.
The white horse stopped in place. Lu Chen turned over and jumped from the white horse to the ground. At the same time, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he turned around and patted the white horse's neck. The white horse followed behind Lu Chen, one person and one horse walking slowly.
Arriving in front of Li Xiuning.
"Sir, what a skill!" Li Xiuning praised Lu Chen with brilliant eyes.
"Thank you for the compliment! Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" Lu Chen smiled and cupped his hand, "However, when I was training the horse just now, I found that the horse seemed to have an injury on its leg, so it was very irritable!" Lu Chen was sitting just now
On horseback, I felt that the white horse's right leg was not moving smoothly.
"Oh?" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Xiuning also became curious. Although Li Xiuning also had his own BMW, he had a dedicated person to wash and walk him, so she was also very interested in what Lu Chen said.
Lu Chen didn't say much. He came directly to the white horse, stretched out his hand and lifted the white horse's right hoof. Horses are human beings. Since the white horse has recognized Lu Chen as its master, Lu Chen lifted the white horse's right hoof.
The white horse obediently obeyed Lu Chen and raised his right hoof.
As the white horse raised its right hoof, everyone's eyes also focused on the white horse's right hoof. Only then did they find a crack on the horse's hoof, which was obviously injured by sharp gravel. It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and even if someone hurts his finger
It hurt so much, not to mention that the white horse had to be on all fours all the time! This constant pain made the white horse restless and unable to be tamed, and Lu Chen's taming just now was just to make the horse struggle and lose its strength.
"Oh! Isn't this useless!" Looking at the wound on the white horse's right hoof, Fang Qi said with a voice of regret.
In this era, once a horse is injured, there are only two options, one is to be able to raise it and then use it, the other is that the injury cannot be cured and can only be killed and eaten for meat. The most difficult thing to cure is the injury to the hoof, because even in this era, there are
Veterinarians don't have a particularly good way to treat hoof injuries.
"How could it be disabled?" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be better to put shoes on it so that it wouldn't get hurt?"
"Put shoes on horses?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Xiuning's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. If horses could be put on "shoes", then the cavalry would not need to ride two or three horses per person, which could save a lot of horses.
, Create more cavalry teams. With more cavalry teams, what are you afraid of the Turks and Tubo? With more cavalry teams, I can attack their homes. "Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Li Xiuning's
Culture is quite impatient.
"This..." Lu Chen deliberately tried to sell it, "It really does! For my BMW horse, I have to have it if I don't have it!" Lu Chen patted the white horse's neck and said jokingly.
"I wonder if there are any craftsmen or blacksmiths in the army?" Lu Chen asked seriously after making a joke.
"Of course we do. I wonder how many people you need, sir?" Li Xiuning asked anxiously.
"Don't use too much. After all, horseshoes and stirrups are not complicated. However, installing horseshoes on a horse is a delicate job and requires some careful craftsmen!" Lu Chen instructed.
"Fang Qi! Call the craftsmen immediately, and the blacksmiths are here. They have full authority to obey the orders of the military advisor. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!" Li Xiuning's last word "behead" means resolutely and unquestionably.
"General, take the order!" Fang Qi knelt on one knee to receive the order, then stood up and quickly led his soldiers to find the craftsmen and blacksmiths. After all, this was a military order officially issued by Li Xiuning, and Fang Qi had to receive the order in this way.
When Fang Qi went to look for craftsmen and blacksmiths, Lu Chen asked someone to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and started drawing stirrups and horseshoes directly on the paper. This level of painting was easy for Lu Chen, who was able to draw defensive plans in his previous life.
, still can’t draw a stirrup and a saddle?
Regardless of the brush used, I was trained in my previous life. Although I can't say how good I am at writing and painting, I have at least reached an average level. Who said that this thing is also a skill? Therefore, it is said, "Sneak In"
"This job is really not that easy to do.
Just when Lu Chen had just finished drawing the drawings of stirrups and horseshoes, Fang Qi had already led a large group of craftsmen and blacksmiths back.
After everyone paid tribute to Li Xiuning, they came to give gifts to Lu Chen. Lu Chen looked at the craftsmen and said that the status of craftsmen in ancient times was not high, but these craftsmen in the army were not sallow and thin, and they were quite good individually.
