Chapter 471: Horseshoe
"Your Majesty, my sister has found a good way to mitigate the loss of horses." Jun Mo Ning said happily to Jun Mo Xi.
"What a good way" Jun Mo frowned and looked at it, this whole day of marching and fighting, the consumption of horses can be said to be very large, especially in the northeast of Heng, there are many sand dunes and stones, horses transport supplies or cavalry rides, the horse's hooves are often worn out, and the horses are still good but have to give up.
What is the use of a horse that cannot walk
"Your Majesty, look what this is." Jun Mo Ning handed a piece of iron to Jun Mo Xi.
"It's just a piece of iron." Jun Mo Xi looked at the iron block with a somewhat familiar shape, and looked at Jun Mo Ning with doubts in his eyes.
"This is iron on the horse's hoof." Jun Mo Ning happily said to Jun Mo Xi: "A soldier who takes care of the war horse has been worried about how to protect the horse's hooves from such great damage, so he tried his best to study, and this is what he came up with. ”
"On the horse's hooves" Jun Mo Xi sat up straight, and a trace of interest rose in his heart.
"Yes, he made four of these horses' hooves, which were installed on the horses' hooves, which would not cause damage to the horses, but also protect the horses' hooves, and the horse's speed was not slow at all, if all the horses could be equipped with this iron, it would definitely greatly reduce the loss of horses."
"It's so magical, let's go, take the Lone King to see." Jun Mo Xi stood up, took a penny of cloak and put it on, and said to Jun Mo Ning.
Jun Mo Ning responded, and took Jun Mo Xi towards the horse farm, where all the war horses were raised, when Jun Mo Xi arrived, there were two soldiers riding horses in the horse farm, and the sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and powerful, attracting Jun Mo Xi's attention.
"Your Majesty, look, that is the horse with iron, and that is not safe." Jun Mo Ning stretched out his hand and pointed to the two people who were racing in the field and said: "This iron is installed from behind, there is no bad negative, and the speed of the two horses has not weakened at all. ”
"Well, not bad," Jun Mo nodded slowly, his eyes flashed brightly, and he turned his head sideways and said to Jun Mo Ning: "Go and call the person who invented this iron." ”
"Yes." Jun Mo Ning responded and called the person, this horse breeder is a man about thirty years old, who has been in charge of feeding war horses in the army, and has been studying how to reduce the loss of war horses, but he didn't expect to be in the army for so long and really studied by him.
"What's your name?" Jun Mo Xi looked the person in front of him up and down, and asked lightly.
"Villain Song Hongliang, see Your Majesty." The man seemed to be seeing you for the first time, and his words were full of nervousness.
"This idea of putting an iron on the horse's hooves was you came up with," Jun Moxi squinted at Song Hongliang and asked.
"Yes, it's the villain." Song Hongliang lowered his body.
"The Lonely King asked you, how long will your horse not be able to run before An Tie" Jun Mo Xi nodded slightly, looked at Song Hongliang and continued to ask: "Has it improved after An Tie?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the war horse has not been installed for three months at most, the horse's hooves are very seriously worn, and they can't even walk, and it's been half a year since the iron is installed, but the iron has to be polished, and the horse's hooves are not damaged at all." Song Hongliang said truthfully.
"It's really so easy to use" Jun Moxi's eyes lit up slightly, and he squinted slightly, if it was according to Song Hongliang's statement, the horse that was originally going to be changed in three months could now be changed for half a year or even longer, which is definitely a great thing for Hanyang.
"Yes, villains don't dare to talk nonsense." Song Hongliang nodded firmly.
"Okay." Jun Mo Xi nodded slowly, looked sideways at Jun Mo Ning and said: "You came up with a fold, and after the approval of the Lone King, he ordered to make a part, and if it can be used, it can be made in large quantities, so that the war horses of the whole army can be installed with iron." ”
"Yes" Jun Mo Ning's face was full of joy, bowed in response, looked up slightly at Jun Mo Xi and said: "Your Majesty, please give this thing a name, how to call it better"
"Name" Jun Mo hesitated slightly, looked at the iron, thought of the horse's hooves again, and smiled slightly: "Since it is the iron installed on the horse's hooves, let's call it the horseshoe."
"Horseshoe, good name." Jun Mo Ning bent his eyebrows and smiled and leaned over and said, "Sister Chen, go and do it immediately." ”
Jun Moxi nodded and turned to leave, watching Jun Moxi leave, Song Hongliang on one side had an excited look on his face, knowing that this was good, what he hoped for was finally satisfied, and the matter of the horse was finally heard by the heavens.
Since Hengdong and Xiyuan retreated, there has been no movement on the Hanyang side, and the two sides seem to have a tacit understanding, and no one has provoked anyone.
"Your Majesty's riding skills are good again." Shang Zi reined in the horses under the seat, looked sideways at Jun Mo and said.
"I haven't raced with Ning'er for a long time, and she is good at riding." Jun Mo Xi smiled faintly, looked sideways at Jun Mo Ning and said.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Seventh is really worthy of being the head of the cavalry, and this riding skill is really excellent." Shang Zi nodded slowly.
Jun Moxi and his party drove their horses to the edge of the field, Jun Moxi turned over and dismounted, and saw Nangong Ai and Nangong Xuanyi walking slowly from a distance, these two people often hide in their tents, and they actually came out to walk around today, which is really rare.
"See Your Majesty." Nangong Xuanyi and Nangong Ai stepped forward and saluted, and leaned over slightly at Jun Moxi.
"The two of them are coming out and hanging around," Jun Mo regretted casually throwing the reins in his hand into the hands of the soldiers on one side, looking Nangong Ai and Nangong Xuanyi up and down and frowning.
"It's good to come to Your Majesty, but the third prince is looking for someone else." Nangong Ai smiled faintly at Jun Mo and said.
"Oh" Jun Mo Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Nangong Xuanyi in surprise, I don't know who else this Nangong Ai is, Shang Zi and Jun Mo Ning were also stunned for a moment, each with doubts in their hearts, and they both said that their eyes were cast on Nangong Xuanyi's body.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you can invite the imperial guards to go with you." Nangong Xuanyi smiled faintly, leaned over slightly at Jun Moxi and fell on Shang Zi's body.
"Hmm" Jun Mo Xi was slightly stunned, looked at Shang Zi sideways in confusion, and then turned his gaze to Nangong Xuanyi's body, it seems that these two people don't seem to know each other, maybe they know each other, and Jun Mo Xi smiled.
"Shang Zi is now a general, not the guard of the Lone King, the third prince wants to invite Shang Zi, but he is not asking for advice from the Lone King."
