Qin Qiong and the others were notified to come to the martial arts training ground together, only to see that the five war horses were being led in the middle, and an object on their backs was bulging, high above the horse's back, like a burden.

Zou Yu walked in and saw that the saddle was almost the same as the saddle he went to the scenic spot to ride, at least he couldn't see the difference, the saddle was fixed on the horse's back by cloth and sheepskin, and the two sides were horse pedals hung with a rope.

"The saddle was made of wood, and then wrapped in ura grass, wrapped in sheepskin, and nailed with brass nails, so that it was very light and comfortable, and did not hurt the horse; The horseshoe is simple, but it is nothing more than an iron ring, which is pulled up with a rope and fastened to the saddle; As for the horseshoe, at first I wanted to use a whole piece of iron, and later found out that it was still the general who said, along the periphery of a circle and a half, as long as the war horse's hooves are flattened, it can be nailed smoothly, just like a pair of shoes for the war horse, except for the beginning of some discomfort, there is no other harm, in the future, the war horse is littered with stones, you can step on it at will, and you don't have to worry about cracking the hooves, if the horseshoe is broken, you can change it again, just like a person changing shoes.

This one was the first horsehoe to be put on it, and it had already run a hundred miles without any problems. Uncle Li explained to everyone endlessly.

"I'll give it a try!" Qin Qiong said a word and turned over on his horse. Zou Yu also rode one horse at random, and the other three horses were also divided by Zhang Zhongjian, Fang Xuanling, and Li Keshi.

"Rack!" The five of them rode war horses and trotted around the martial arts training ground.

War horses are also flesh and blood, so they are running for a long time, or stepping on the gravel, the hooves may be cracked, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, the same is true for animals, the war horse that eats pain is easy to fall or restless, it is normal for the knight on horseback to be thrown down, this ancient car accident is very normal, especially on the battlefield, all kinds of weapons, arrows, and the war horse will hurt the hooves if they accidentally step on it, and the horseshoe can protect the war horse well, this sudden hoof cracking at least will not happen again.

"Good! What a good thing! The feet are steady, the saddle is fixed, there is no longer a need to clamp the war horse with both legs, and the waist can better use strength, just these two, the strength of the cavalry has increased by at least thirty percent. Zhang Zhongjian exclaimed.

"Not only that, but with a horse pedal and a saddle, it is no longer difficult for an average knight to be able to ride a little bit and open the bow left and right." Qin Qiong added.

The people who had tried to ride nodded their heads again and again, feeling that this was indeed a good thing, and they also agreed with Zhang Zhongjian and Qin Qiong's words, as for the horseshoe, needless to say, you can know his use at a glance.

"With this thing, the service life of the war horse is much longer, which will save a lot of money and food." Fang Xuanling sighed.

Before the appearance of the horseshoe, after a big battle, the loss of non-combat attrition and war horses had to reach two or three percent, almost all because the horse's hooves were cracked, and even if the wound was healed in the future, it could only be used as a horse.

"Uncle Li, how many war horses can you equip now?" Zou Yu asked with concern.

"Horseshoes and horses are easy to make, there are already 3,000 pairs, and thousands can be made every day! It's just that the saddle is troublesome, and there are only 3,000 at present, and only 100 can be made a day. "These data are already in his head, so he opens his mouth and comes.

"Okay, we will go out in ten days, we can do as much as we can, and after the rest is done, we will send it to the front." Zou Yu said.

"Yes, subordinates do their best!"

"The subordinates thought that they could transfer all the craftsmen in the army and the city, so they should do this first." Fang Xuanling suggested.

"Okay, that's it!" Zou Yu agreed without hesitation.

…………………

Mid-June of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause!

Entrusting his family to Fang Xuanling, Zou Yu sent 35,000 troops and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers to Yuyang!

"According to the news, it is Gao Kaidao who occupies Yuyang, who calls himself King Yan and has 100,000 horses under his command." Li Keshi smiled.

This is the first goal that the army needs to face when it marches eastward, but everyone has no pressure at all, they are used to fighting with the regular army, and looking at the guards in various costumes at the head of the city, they know that it is a group of rabble.

"Who are you, and why did you invade this king?" A burly man in armor shouted from the top of the city.

"The rabble, actually called the king, really don't know whether to live or die!" Qin Qiong said without cutting down.

"Although it is a rabble, but Yuyang City has thick walls, it is still difficult to fight!" Li Keshi frowned.

"If it's not good to fight, lead it out and fight!" Zou Yu said.

"I'm afraid I won't be fooled! But it's good to give it a try. Li Keshi replied.

"Subordinates, please fight!" Qin Qiong clenched his fists and asked for orders.

"Okay, the first battle will be handed over to General Qin." Zou Yu nodded.

"Dare to rebel! The general of the expedition to the east, the governor of Youzhou is here, and he has not yet opened the city to surrender! Qin Qiong stepped forward and shouted angrily with a gun.

"The smell of milk has not dried, and I dare to call it a general, it can be seen that the emperor is mediocre, why don't you follow this king and win the world together!" Gao Kaidao shouted uncontrollably.

"Ignorant rats, Qin Qiong is here! Who dares to fight! Qin Qiong raised her gun and provoked with great force.

"How can this be true? Come! Follow the king out of the city and slay this madman! Gao Kaidao was furious.

From occupying Yuyang, getting 5,000 armor tools, and collecting tens of thousands of horses, he felt that he was destined to return, so he couldn't wait to become king.

Seeing Qin Qiong's provocation, he rushed out with a thousand of the most elite cavalry. It is said that Gao Kaidao's force is not weak, and because of this, he can conquer several cities, and among the officers and soldiers who fight, he has never encountered an opponent, so as soon as he saw Qin Qiong single-handedly, he couldn't wait to kill out of the city, and wanted to kill people, after all, he was not stupid, he could see that Zou Yu's army was well-equipped, and his momentum was also extraordinary.

"Kill!" Raising the obstacle knife in his hand, he opened his way and shouted, killing Qin Qiong.

"Die!" Qin Qiong competed with each other and shot him to kill him.

Gao Kaidao wanted to kill the enemy and Liwei, and Qin Qiong wanted to win the first merit, both of them went all out to make this move, and they wanted to take the opponent's life.

"Kill!"

"Kill!" The horses staggered past, roaring again and slaughtering in a ball.

Gao Kaidao's strength was even greater, and every time the barrier knife was chopped, he couldn't wait to split Qin Qiong in half; Qin Qiong's spear soared into the air like a dragon, mighty and domineering, without showing weakness, and making a hard move.

"Dangdang!" The ringing kept going, and in a blink of an eye, the two fought for thirty rounds, fighting sixty or seventy times, even if Zou Yu had confidence in Qin Qiong, he was still slightly nervous.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bao has always been more and more brave in battle, and equipped with a saddle horse, the war horse will also win, and in another twenty rounds, Gao Kaidao will be defeated!" Zhang Zhongjian's eyesight was better, he saw the reality of the two, and said to Zou Yu.
