So many people looked at Yuan Chang, of course Yuan Chang no longer pretended to be forced, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Gucheng and Ximen Fuxue who were standing behind him, and said, "Everyone, the two people standing behind me are powerful swordsmen. What is one important factor in being a swordsman, you know?"

Everyone looked at each other, a little puzzled, I don't know what is the reason why Yuan Chang mentioned Ye Gucheng and the others?

There were many people in Bohai County who came to visit this military parade, and no one knew if there was anyone among them who would be unfavorable to Yuan Chang. Originally, the responsibility of guarding Yuan Chang's safety was arranged by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei. However, this military parade was presided over by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, so the duties of the guards allowed Ye Gucheng and Ximen to make a cameo. The two of them had been indifferent and had not said a word, if Yuan Chang hadn't pointed it out at this moment, everyone didn't seem to notice them.

"Lord Yuan, is it a powerful strength?"

"Lord Yuan, I think it should be a hidden ability that is not easy to be discovered. ”

“…”

The answers given by everyone were varied, but Yuan Chang kept smiling and shaking his head, obviously what they said was not right. These Taishou, Changshi and others are basically literati, how can they understand the powerful factors of swordsmen?

"Humph!"

Lu Bu on the side waited for everyone to say a bunch of things before he snorted arrogantly, and said directly without looking back: "A powerful swordsman, they naturally need a sharp sword." If a swordsman doesn't have a sword to match, how can he be called a swordsman?"

"Haha, Lord Wenhou is worthy of being called the god of war, he really has insight, in a word!"

Yuan Chang laughed and patted Lu Bu's shoulder, complimenting loudly. However, Lu Bucai didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Chang, and still had a proud expression, ignoring Yuan Chang. Yuan Chang didn't care, looked at everyone and continued.

"It's the same as a swordsman, a warrior equipped with sharp weapons and strong armor can also improve his strength. And the war horse is the same, as long as the war horse is matched with the corresponding equipment, it can also improve the strength of the cavalry. I believe everyone has seen that the horses, saddles and stirrups of our Bohai County cavalry are different, which is the root of the strength of our cavalry. This new saddle and stirrup were made by our county's famous craftsmen Ma Jun and Ou Nanbao, and they were Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups, respectively. As long as there is such horse equipment, the strength of any cavalry can be increased by half. As a token of our appreciation for coming all the way, we can provide a source of goods for sale to everyone. However, as you know, our county has limited manpower, so the supply of goods is also limited. If you are interested, you can wait for the military parade to end and find our county governor He Wen of Bohai County, and he will be responsible for this matter. ”

He Wen's He family also has a business in weapons and armor, and Yuan Chang does not have his own caravan at present, so he will give this cake to the He family. Of course, the reason why this is so is also because He Wen is conscientious in Bohai County. Otherwise, there were a lot of caravans in Bohai County, and it was not said that the He family must be allowed to earn this money.

Hearing that Yuan Chang was willing to sell the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, the Taishou, Changshi and the housekeepers were all a little excited, with such equipment, their respective forces would definitely be able to increase their strength.

And the housekeeper of the Cui family in Qinghe County was excited and a little anxious at the same time.

He is just the housekeeper of the Cui clan in Qinghe County, and there are not many things that can call the shots. Like the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups are definitely not cheap, and the money they will cost must be a lot, such a large amount of expenses is definitely not something he can decide. However, the butler quickly made a decision, and it would definitely not be wrong to buy such powerful equipment back. He paid a little in advance, and when he returned to Qinghe County, was he still afraid that the Cui clan would treat him badly?

is also a little excited about these Taishou and Changshi, as well as Mi Zhu. There are tens of thousands of Mi family guests, including cavalry, if you also equip the war horse with these equipment, the strength can also become stronger. However, as a businessman, Mi Zhu's brain is not usually fast.

It stands to reason that anyone will hide such a powerful piece of equipment and don't want people to know about it. At least, it won't be taken out so casually. However, Yuan Chang subverted everyone's thoughts, simply let everyone know, and even took it out for sale. You know, there are no patents these days, and the manufacture of Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups is not too difficult, as long as you buy some back, you can build it according to the scoop painting gourd. In this way, didn't Yuan Chang become a big wrongdoer? However, as far as Mi Zhu knew, Yuan Chang was not such a person. Therefore, Mi Zhu finally held back the excitement in his heart and did not stand up to speak.

As Mi Zhu thought, of course Yuan Chang would not be so kind.

Sooner or later, Takahashi's saddle and bilateral stirrups will be used on the battlefield, and they will naturally be discovered when the time comes. At that time, copycats will definitely follow. In this case, it is better to take it out as soon as possible, and at the same time earn some goodwill from these people, you can also make a small amount of money.

In addition, Yuan Chang has another preparation.

That is, Yuan Chang created two kinds of high bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups, one is the perfect equipment, which only elite cavalry will equip. These elite cavalry are usually not easy to die on the battlefield, even if they are killed, the equipment of the war horse will be taken off and recycled by other cavalry;

And this time, what Yuan Chang sold was the inferior war horse equipment.

Yuan Chang didn't have the slightest psychological burden, and when it came to it, everyone's relationship was average, so naturally there was no need to sell the best to them. They also have other thoughts in their hearts, and they can only blame them for buying defective products, and Yuan Chang never said that the war horse equipment sold to them is the same as that used by the cavalry in the military parade. Of course, if it were his own person, Yuan Chang would definitely not be stingy, and would entertain him with the best things. It's a pity that these Taishou and Changshi who came here are not Yuan Chang's friends, everyone has one reason or another, unless they can get Yuan Chang's approval and be recognized as Yuan Chang's friend. Yuan Chang will only come up with good things to entertain them, but they are not counted at the moment.

The full set of equipment for the war horse included a Takahashi saddle, bilateral stirrups, and horseshoes. Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups are the easiest to spot, which is why Yuan Chang did not hide. And the horseshoe is generally not found, so Yuan Chang didn't take it out, but kept it for his own personal use.

Regardless of the fact that the horseshoe is only installed on the hooves of the war horse, it may seem of little use, but in fact, the role of the horseshoe is not small, and even in some cases, the role of the horseshoe is more useful than the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrups.

Let's say, for example, on a rainy day. A war horse without a horseshoe will slip, and on the battlefield, such a mistake is enough to be fatal. However, the war horse with a horseshoe does not have such worries, even if the muddy mountain road is, there will be no slippery mistakes, ensuring that the cavalry combat power is fully exerted. Also, when climbing the mountain, with a horseshoe warhorse, it is easy to climb the mountain, speed up the march, and so on. In short, the benefits are obvious.

Of course, generally speaking, all three pieces of equipment are best equipped at the same time. Now that Yuan Chang has only taken out two pieces, it cannot be said that he has sinister intentions. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and who knows whether it will become an enemy in the future, and it is necessary to keep a hand.

"Everyone is my friend in Bohai County, and I am happy to be able to strengthen my friend's strength. Yuan Chang said to everyone with a smile, however, no one knew that Yuan Chang had secretly tricked them.

"What Yuan Taishou said is very true, everyone is a member of Jizhou, and they should help each other. ”

"Lord Yuan is so generous, you can't be stingy. I don't know if Lord Yuan is short of war horses, and a certain can provide thousands of excellent war horses in the north to express his gratitude. ”

"My family can provide grain and grass, and I hope that Lord Yuan will not refuse!"

"My lord..."

At this time, all the Taishou and Changshi rushed to express their meanings. The military parade was just at the beginning, and Yuan Chang gave everyone such a big surprise, who knows if there will be a bigger surprise later. In this case, it is better to have a good relationship with Yuan Chang as soon as possible, and when there is something good later, Yuan Chang can also share it with them. They are all one-sided characters, and no one will do useless work.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as I have it in Bohai County, all my friends will have it. ”

Looking at Yuan Chang's appearance left and right, Lu Bu looked at those people surrounding Yuan Chang and sneered disdainfully in his heart. As far as he knew, Yuan Chang was not such a generous person. Although I don't know what Yuan Chang is doing, Lu Bu can be sure that those people must have been cheated by Yuan Chang. Of course, for the equipment of war horses, Lu Bu is also very hot. His red rabbit horse is the best among horses, and if he equips the red rabbit horse with equipment, it will be even more powerful. Now asking Yuan Chang for something, Lu Bu doesn't have the slightest burden, Yuan Chang, this kid is going to harm his daughter, as the future father-in-law, can't he ask his son-in-law for something?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu was very proud in his heart. It's good to have a good daughter by yourself, those guys can only get it if they want to please Yuan Chang, but he Lu Bu can smile and look at the wind and clouds, and he has a feeling of overlooking all living beings, which is really cool.

"Alright, guys, we'll talk about that later, and now we'll move on to the parade. ”

Yuan Chang comforted everyone with warm words, and then the excited people were resolved. When Yuan Chang turned his head and looked at Lu Bu's relaxed and relaxed appearance, he was suddenly furious in his heart. Okay, you are tired and tired on the side, earn some money to marry a wife, and you are safe and easy on the side. Hmph, don't think that if you have a good daughter, you want to get it easily, and when the time comes, you will be good-looking.

If Lu Bu knew Yuan Chang's thoughts, he would probably reconsider the question of whether Yuan Chang could be his son-in-law.

This time, the parade was carried out by a hundred sword shield soldiers.

The sword and shield soldiers are also carrying out a set of formation changes, performing offensive, defensive and other actions, and there are not many highlights, and everyone watching is a little disappointed. This is also a matter of no choice, because compared with the Dongping Iron Cavalry who was the first to parade, the sword and shield soldiers are really too bland, and people can't arouse the slightest interest.

Soon, however, the soldier in charge of the command in the center of the field raised the command flag to convey the order. Then, another hundred sword and shield soldiers entered the field.

What is this for?

There was a lot of doubt in the hearts of the audience, but soon, the sword and shield soldiers on the battlefield explained to them with practical actions.

I saw two hundred-man sword and shield soldiers each divided into ten soldiers with swords, standing opposite each other. Then, after the soldiers in command waved the command flag, the twenty soldiers each raised their long knives and slashed at the soldiers opposite.

"Keng!" "Keng!" "Keng!"

The sound of endless metal clashes sounded, and the audience, who were still a little excited, opened their eyes when they saw what was happening in the center of the venue, and they seemed to be a little unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

So, what's really going on in the middle of the field?

Let's put the camera in the center of the venue and look closely. The sword and shield soldiers who came up in the back, the long knives in their hands were all broken at the waist, and the break was very smooth, as if they were cutting through tofu with a knife. Both sides are sword and shield soldiers, and the long knives they use look the same, how can such a thing happen? If a soldier's long knife is broken in two, then it is still in the past. However, it was a bit unusual for the long knives of the ten soldiers to be cut in two.

However, although the audience had doubts in their hearts, no one explained for them. There was another change in the center of the venue, and the audience could only suppress the doubts in their hearts and continue to watch the situation on the field.

This time, there were ten soldiers from each side, and the first 100 soldiers came out with iron shields, while the soldiers who came out later came out with long knives. The soldier who appeared first raised his iron shield and made a defensive gesture, while the soldier who appeared later raised his long knife, and after waiting for the soldier in command to give the order, ten people cut down at the same time.

"Keng!" "Keng!" "Keng!"

It was also the sound of continuous metal clashes, and neither the long knife nor the iron shield showed any changes. The audience wondered, which part of this is playing?

Still no one came out to give them an answer, and the parade continued.

The team of 100 men each walked out of the 100 soldiers again, but this time, the roles were reversed. This time, it was the 100-man soldier who came out first with the long knife, and the soldier who came out later with the iron shield. Moreover, the long knives used by the soldiers with long knives were the same as those in the hands of the ten soldiers who came out for the first time. At the same time, the ten soldiers with the iron shield did not lean the iron shield against their bodies, but held it with their hands, as if the long knife would hurt them.

"What does this mean, how do I feel like I don't have enough brains?"

"It looks like you're going to cut off the iron shield with a long knife, but how is that possible?"

"Yes, if the iron shield will be easily split by the long knife, what is the use of the shield soldiers?"

No matter what the audience was thinking, the soldiers at the parade were as steady as Mount Tai and carried out their movements with the same expression. When the ten soldiers with the long knives cut off the long knives, something stunned happened.

Just like the first long knife duel, these ten iron shields were really cut off, and the fracture was as smooth as tofu noodles. Could it be that this iron shield is not a real iron shield, but made of tofu?

The parade continues, and the spectators' doubts remain unanswered.

The long knives and iron shields used by the twenty soldiers who came out this time were all used before, and they were all the long knives and iron shields used by the soldiers who appeared first. When the sword and shield were exchanged, there was no change either. The audience's hearts were suddenly "suddenly", and they secretly said in their hearts that the iron shield used this time was the real iron shield, and it was not an iron shield at all just now, it may have been made of wood, but it was painted with a layer of paint. Maybe Yuan Taishou felt that everyone was too boring, so he made a show that made everyone relaxed.

Then came twenty more soldiers, all with hammers in their hands. Then, I saw that the twenty soldiers struck the iron shield they had used earlier with the iron hammers in their hands in turn, and even the ten "wooden shields" that had been cut off were not spared.

"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...

The sound of metal continued to sound, and it was not until twenty metal sounds were heard that the audience's ears were a little quieter. However, at this time, everyone's heads couldn't turn again.

Listening to the voice just now, these twenty shields are all real iron shields. But why were the ten iron shields cut off, while the other ten shields were unharmed? What was going on? Of course, there were some people who had quick brains and had already vaguely understood the reason. However, the shock caused by this is even stronger. If it was really what they imagined, Bohai County would be really terrifying.

Of course, the people who would find it scary were spies sent by some forces hostile to Bohai County to watch the parade. There were more than 100,000 onlookers at the scene, so naturally it could not be all from Bohai County. There are also many spies from other forces, such as Yuan Shao's spies, Gongsun Zhan's spies, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and so on.

In the early days, human beings used stone and wood as weapons, and then bronze weapons appeared, and stone and wood weapons were naturally vulnerable, and then iron weapons also appeared, and bronze weapons were also eliminated. Now, judging from the current military parade ceremony, the iron tools used in the weapons and shields of Bohai County are more sophisticated iron tools, or in other words, the iron-striking technology of Bohai County is already a higher-level technology.

This is not a good thing for other forces.

After the hammer struck the iron shield, this parade was over. When the two hundred soldiers had finished cleaning up, the loud shouting soldiers also came out.

"Guys, I'm sure many of you have already seen it. That's right, the weapons and shields of our Bohai County are made of more sophisticated cast iron technology, and the long knives and shields that were previously cut off were used by the soldiers in the past. I don't need to explain what the result was. And the inventor of this new iron casting process was discovered by Ou Shixiong, the son of our Ou Nanbao master craftsman in Bohai County. ”

The equipment of the war horse has given the audience a strong impact, and this new cast iron process has given them another spiritual impact. Perhaps after today, the master craftsman Ou Nanbao and his son Ou Shixiong will be famous all over the world.

On the high platform, everyone's eyes looked at Yuan Chang again.
