Volume 1: Entering the Tang Dynasty for the First Time
Because horseshoes did not exist in this era, few people would take care of the cuticles of horseshoes. Just like the cuticles of the white horses' hoofs were split, no one would notice. However, the cuticles of Fang Qi's big green horses' hoofs were damaged due to long-term
Because of following Fang Qi, the cuticle is very worn, but it is not too long, but even so, it still needs to be processed before the horseshoe can be installed.
Lu Chen personally demonstrated how to cut the cuticle, and told the craftsmen how long the cuticle should be left, as well as the precautions for nailing horseshoes, etc. Then, with the help of the craftsmen, he started shoeing the big green horse.
Each horseshoe has eight nail holes, but Lu Chen only nailed seven, which surprised Fang Qi who was watching from the side.
"Military advisor, why do you need to leave a nail hole? Wouldn't it be stronger if it is all nailed?" Li Xiuning also saw Lu Chen's operation, so he curiously asked around Lu Chen. Lu Chen demonstrated a hoof and let the others
The craftsman performs the operation, and he guides from the side.
To be honest, Lu Chen's skills are based on what he saw in his previous life, but these craftsmen have never seen it before, so Lu Chen can give guidance, but the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is really good, and Lu Chen will no longer be needed soon.
Guided.
Hearing Li Xiuning's question, Lu Chen smiled: "Leave one nail hole as a spare! Seven horseshoe nails are strong enough, and leave one nail hole so that if any of the other nail holes fall off, this nail hole will
It can be temporarily reinforced!" Lu Chen explained to Li Xiuning, of course his voice could also be heard by other soldiers watching.
"This is to prepare for a rainy day! Otherwise, he is a strategist, and we are the leading soldiers!" Fang Qi slapped him in the face.
"Stop flattering!" Lu Chen scolded Fang Qi with a smile. After getting along with him during this time, Lu Chen felt that Fang Qi was not hostile to him. On the contrary, he wanted to please him. If this was all performed, then
It can only be said that Fang Qi's acting skills were so good that he even deceived himself, the special operations captain.
"Sir, the big green horse has been shoed!" At this time, a craftsman came to report to Lu Chen.
"Let me take a look!" Lu Chen turned around and came to the big green horse, checking the condition of the horseshoes one by one. Fang Qi also stretched his neck to see, "It's nailed well!" Lu Chen praised, otherwise it would be said that he has a specialization in the art.
Well, this craftsman's craftsmanship is better than Lu Chen's. "Bring the stirrups, just take two!" Lu Chen asked a craftsman to fetch two stirrups.
The big green horse itself is also equipped with stirrups, but they are made of cloth. To put it bluntly, they are two anklets made of cloth. They are put on the feet to tighten the soles of the feet when riding. The iron stirrups are different.
Yes, iron stirrups are similar to small pedals, and the knight only needs to step on them.
Lu Chen removed the original cloth stirrups, then tied the iron stirrups on top, and then waved to Fang Qiyi: "Come on, try it!"
Fang Qi was also unambiguous. When he heard that he was allowed to try it, Fang Qi stepped on the stirrups and moved the saddle. He turned over and sat on the big green horse.
"Military advisor, it's so convenient!" Fang Qi stepped on the iron stirrups under his feet in surprise and said to Lu Chen. After all, if he still had the old cloth stirrups, he would need help from others to get on the horse. He had to put one foot on the horse first.
Then others helped him get on the horse behind him, and then helped him put his other foot in the cloth stirrup. With the iron stirrup, it was different. He only had to step on one side of the iron stirrup, grab the saddle, and turn over.
You can get on the horse by yourself, and the other foot will naturally step into the stirrup on the other side.
"Run two laps and give it a try!" Lu Chen said, patting the big green horse's butt. The big green horse cried "slilly" and started running in the school yard in front of the stable.
The iron stirrups stepped on the ground and rocks flew, but it had no effect on the speed of the big green horse at all. The clear sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the school grounds. Fang Qi, who was riding on the big green horse, seemed to feel that riding a horse was not enough, so he turned around
Circle, he ran back on the big green horse. At the same time, he asked the soldier to hand him a spear, then turned the horse's head, and danced the spear while riding the big green horse.
"It's so stable!" When the other generals on the side saw Fang Qi's vigorously dancing spear, they couldn't help but admired with envy. You must know that when using cloth stirrups, even long-handled weapons can be wielded.
, but it is not stable, because there are only two ropes on the feet to bear the weight. If you use too much force, if the cloth stirrup breaks, before the enemy is injured, and if you fall off the horse because the stirrup breaks, there will be no place to cry.
But now that the iron stirrups are stepping on the feet, for these generals on horseback, there is no difference between peace and the ground. Moreover, the iron stirrups are stepped on with the whole sole of the feet, and it is much easier to exert force. Therefore, these generals
Looking at the stirrups and horseshoes in the box now, it's like seeing rare treasures, and my eyes are shining brightly.
"Commander, my horse will also hit those stirrups and horseshoes!"
"Yes! Yes! And mine too!"
A group of generals immediately surrounded Lu Chen, scrambling to install the iron harness first. For this iron harness, a group of generals ignored their rank and pushed each other, ready to fight if they disagreed.
.
"They will all be there! They will all be there!" Lu Chen felt a little numb when he looked at the formation of these generals. A large group of big and thick men surrounded Lu Chen. Judging from the comparison of figures alone, Lu Chen looked like
A sheep that fell into a pack of wolves, "Little Sheep" Lu Chen could only look at Li Xiuning as if asking for help.
And Li Xiuning was also a little surprised. At first, she thought that the iron harness Lu Chen made was just for riding and protecting the war horse. But when she saw Fang Qi riding on the horse, wielding the spear as if walking on the ground, she realized this.
The importance of planting something, this is a divine item that can smooth the gap with the Turkic cavalry.
"Why are you all making such a fuss?" Li Xiuning yelled and stopped all the generals. They could only step aside obediently, but their eyes betrayed their determination to give up.
"Commander, these stirrups and horseshoes are sacred items for marching and fighting. The fact that the military counselor contributed them so easily makes me feel ashamed!" Li Xiuning rushed to Lu Chen and saluted.
"What did the commander say? This thing is of no use to me at all. Since I am now the commander's strategist, I naturally have to think about the commander. Such things are just trivial!" Lu Chen hurriedly bowed to Li Xiuning.
Returning the favor, he also did not forget to blow a wave.
Li Xiuning's eyes sparkled with what Lu Chen said. She was obviously fooled by Lu Chen again, but the next words made Lu Chen almost sit on the ground.
"Then is it possible to install the iron harness for my handsome jade lion?" Li Xiuning also turned a corner and installed the stirrups and horseshoes.
After waiting for a long time, Li Xiuning's purpose was also this! Lu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
