Thinking of stirrups, without saying a word, Li Ling directly began to work, and quickly drew a pattern, and even used a few clay to find someone to burn into pottery and then tried the feeling.

With the clay blank and the pattern, Li Ling directly found the blacksmith master who was known as the most powerful in Xianyang City, and directly threw out a piece of gold cake, requiring him to make two physical objects within one day.

As long as the money is in place, the efficiency is guaranteed, and the next morning, the blacksmith master directly found Li Ling's door and personally sent the stirrups to Li Ling.

"Don't open your blacksmith shop in the future, just follow me, I'll feed you and drink, and give you every month... Would you like to give you three gold a month? ”

"It's... This... This ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

In this era, Li Ling actually has almost never had a clear concept of money, he has never spent money on food and clothing, and the only thing that can recognize money is the reward given to him by Yingyiren and when he is with Lu Buwei.

But this one is the king of Qin, and the other is a super tyrant, so it is conceivable that Li Ling cannot know the real folk market.

Before buying Mo You, twenty gold was not the market price at all, but the bamboo pole that Meng Tian had knocked ten times as much, plus the little girl from the Chu State was already unavoidable, and the price was ridiculously high.

Therefore, Li Ling thought about it for a long time and offered the price of three gold, which seemed reasonable, but in fact it was ridiculously high.

For an ordinary Qin family, all the family property together is only a mere ten gold!

It is no wonder that when the blacksmith heard the price, his excited words were not good, and he knelt on the ground and clicked his head.

"You go back and prepare, and from tomorrow you will go to live in the camp in the east of the city, take your fellow things, and prepare a few sheepskins!"

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Who cares why Li Ling asked him to prepare the sheepskin, the blacksmith master ran home directly to pack his things, for fear that Li Ling would regret it if it was too late.

Packing up his things and no longer staying in his own broken yard, Li Ling directly took Mo You back to the Chengdong Camp with only a dozen soldiers guarding the camp.

After settling in, Mo You, full of anticipation, went straight to testing the stirrups.

However, the result of the test was extremely unsatisfactory, although after adding the stirrups, he was indeed a lot easier and a lot more stable, but the horse was always inexplicably frightened, and Li Ling's ass was about to fall into eighteen petals.

"Father-in-law, is it that the horse is strangled too much? Mo You doesn't know how to ride a horse, but Mo You looks like every time his father-in-law is thrown down, the horse is frightened when his father-in-law is exerting force. ”

"Le's? Damn, why didn't I think of that? You little girl, you are really my lucky star. ”

rubbed Mo You's hair vigorously, if Li Ling was to think about it himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to think of a reason in his life.

What the cavalry needs to improve is not only the stirrups, but also the saddle!

Since the stirrups are directly tied to the horse's back with a rope, every time Li Ling exerts force, it is equivalent to pressing all the strength of a whole person on a rope, so it is strange that the horse does not feel pain.

The saddle of the pre-Qin period was not the kind of high bridge saddle of later generations at all, just a thick layer of mats, and then tied to the horse, the only role was just to ride a little more comfortably, and after adding stirrups, the shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed.

Go back to the house to draw a picture, find someone to cut down the tree, and then directly make a prototype of a high bridge saddle, and then put the original saddle on it, and the stirrups are tied to the wooden frame, so that when Li Ling exerts his strength, the force area of the war horse is a whole horseback.

Sure enough, after using the Takahashi saddle with stirrups, Li Ling ran around the camp with a horse and whip!

It's been three years, and I didn't expect him to feel the joy of horseback riding for the first time!

With a new gadget, and Li Ling, who almost never rode a horse on weekdays, actually spread joy, and several soldiers who stayed in the camp and did not go out with the army immediately surrounded him.

"Come on, try them all one by one."

......

"This method is really powerful, and now I don't feel tired at all riding a horse!"

"Don't feel anything else?"

"Something else? It's more stable than before, so you don't have to worry about falling off while riding. ”

"What else?"

"And? It's gone. ”

"I'll just say that you guys are stupid, don't say it's my soldiers when you go out in the future! Don't you feel that it's easier to swing your sword on a horse? ”

"We didn't try ......."

"I... Forget it, you're all foot soldiers, and I don't blame you. ”

Stirrups, not only can make people ride on the horse more stable, because of the existence of stirrups, the feet have a focus point, and with the new saddle brings far more stability than before, the rider can fully burst out of his full strength to slash the weapon in his hand, and even the person with superb equestrian skills can directly release the reins with both hands when charging and swing the spear with all his might.

"This is decent, I said how I always feel that the real combat effectiveness of this cavalry is not the same as I imagined before, one in the sky and one in the ground, it turns out that this is the case, sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, even if I have watched so many costume dramas, it actually took three years to think of such an important issue."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Li Ling directly asked the soldiers to prepare a bonfire, and he planned to invite everyone left in the camp to eat barbecue at night.

"Hehe, today's war horses can be called war horses, and I'm stupid enough, a three-piece set of war horses, saddle stirrups and horseshoes, I even want to do such a simple thing... Horseshoe? Damn, there won't be a horseshoe this year, right? ”

Run straight to the stable, lift the horse's legs, and sure enough, there really is no horseshoe!

Building a horseshoe was immediately put on the agenda, but this piece was not something that Li Ling could do by imagination, it required professionals, but it was obvious that in this era, there were no such professionals.

Li Ling had no choice but to find an old man who raised horses for the only few horses in the barracks, and then began to plan to give the old man a good science about the use of horseshoes and the shape in his memory, but unfortunately Li Ling didn't know how this thing was installed, so there was no way to explain it.

But who would have thought that Li Ling had just put forward the idea of a horseshoe, and the old man immediately understood what Li Ling meant, and he had no teacher!

Even after he ran over and studied the horseshoe carefully, he also helped Li Ling solve a problem that he hadn't thought about yet, the horseshoe is not a high-tech thing at all, this thing can be directly nailed to the horse's shoe with a nail!

"It's as simple as that?"

"The thick layer under the horse's hooves is the same as our fingernails, only much thicker, and as long as I don't smash the nails into the flesh, there will be no problems."

"Okay, I'll have someone build your horseshoe tomorrow, but you're not allowed to experiment with my horse, so you'll have to get another horse first."
