Chapter 55: The Cavalry Has Three Treasures

Here in Xuzhou, the horse-for-horse business is going well. During the entire negotiation process, Li Chen can be said to have mastered Gongsun Zhan's mind to the death.

In the end, after this transaction, a white horse was exchanged for eight healthy horses with the same foot strength, and Gongsun Zhan originally planned to exchange 10,000 healthy horses for 2,000 white horses, but in the end he paid nearly twice as many healthy horses.

Gongsun Chan needs these white horses, and Li Chen said that he would also form a white horse righteous servant. This is unacceptable to Gongsun Zhan, he fought a lifetime of battles, so that the name of Baima Yicong resounded all over the world. Now when you mention Bai Ma Yicong, you can think of his Gongsun Zhan, if Li Chen is also asked to form a White Horse Yicong, then it will be a mess to mention this White Horse Yicong in the future.

Of course, the reason why the transaction went so smoothly was that Li Chen's 2,000 white horses were simply perfect. No matter what you say, a normal white horse will still have some yellowish and dull miscellaneous hairs. But Li Chen's batch of white horses is different, and it can be said that he can't find a single miscellaneous hair.

Of course, in Gongsun Zhan's opinion, this is not a loss, after all, these handsome "white horses" can be used as stallions. When the time comes, the big horse gives birth to a ponny, and the pony grows up to give birth to a pony, so that there will be an endless supply.

Of course, Li Chen estimated that when Gongsun Chan watched the two white horses give birth to a group of little black horses, he would definitely feel what is called a collapsing worldview.

After Li Chen and Gongsun Chan reached a consensus on the transaction, the transaction was handed over to the Chen Chamber of Commerce. And Li Chen spent all day at home pondering something that would subvert the entire history of the Han cavalry once it came out.

That's right, the things Li Chen wanted to take out were stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no such things as saddles, stirrups and horseshoes. Even after Sima Yi fled to Wei and established the Jin Dynasty, it was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the princes and nobles gradually had a single stirrup. The single stirrup of the Western Jin Dynasty is different from the double stirrup, which is used to borrow strength and maintain peace, and the single stirrup is only used to assist the princes and nobles to get on the horse.

This single stirrup is the same as a single ponytail, and it has no practical use, but it is a psychological pleasure. The double stirrups and double ponytails are a truth, and they are practical and can be used to maintain balance and leverage when showing some high-skill riding.

It is also precisely because there are no saddles, stirrups, horseshoes. Therefore, the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to a high-tech army, especially when charging on the battlefield, it was necessary to maintain balance on horseback while fighting the enemy, which often required cavalry to be proficient after several years or even more than ten years of training.

Saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes are not technical, and there are no technical barriers to manufacturing. It can even be said that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with these things, once they are captured by the enemy, they can be copied in batches in a few days.

But it is impossible not to equip your cavalry with these things for fear of being copied.

Xuzhou is not rich in cavalry, and even the entire Xuzhou army does not have many soldiers who are proficient in horsemanship. It can be expected that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with the Three Treasures of Cavalry, then even soldiers who are not very proficient in riding skills can completely fight with elite cavalry.

On top of that, cavalry warfare used to be a very exhausting task, as soldiers had to fight with their weapons while holding their legs between the horse's belly to ensure that their balance did not fall off their horses. This kind of cavalry warfare is a kind of combat that consumes a lot of physical strength and high frequency.

But with the Three Treasures of the Cavalry, the saddle allows a person to maintain balance on horseback, the stirrup can borrow strength, and the horseshoe can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hooves. In this way, Li Chen's disadvantage in the source of cavalry soldiers can be said to be completely compensated for from the horse.

As the so-called cavalry has three treasures, the body is stable, vigorous, and long-lasting.

Li Chen drew the saddle, stirrups and horseshoes with the memories of his previous life. This kind of simple painting is not difficult for Li Chen, because he is very talented in painting when he is a child.

At that time, Li Chen was still young, and his family was poor, so he had no money to buy paintbrushes. But people are not short of ambitions, they have a brush to paint, and they have to paint without a brush. Li Chen overcame difficulties and obstacles, and without brushes and paper, he used *** to draw on the sheets every night, what elephants, lions, tigers, he can paint anything.

Just because he likes to draw since he was a child, Li Chen has been beaten a lot.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Palace.

"Yuanlong, why don't you take a look at these three objects?" Li Chen, who was very talented in painting, handed Chen Deng the three treasures of the cavalry that he had drawn overnight.

Chen Deng took the painting paper in Li Chen's hand, looked at the three treasures of the cavalry drawn on the drawing paper, and fell into deep thought.

For the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoe Chen Deng can be said to be very unfamiliar, which is a cross-era product for the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"This ......" Not long after, Chen Deng's breathing became short, and he seemed to think of where it was used. His face was full of shock, and it could be said that he was shocked by such a design.

"Lord, is this for cavalry?" Chen Deng is worthy of being a unicorn in Xuzhou, and it didn't take long for him to guess the usefulness of what was on the drawing paper.

Li Chen nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, this thing is equipped on horses." It can keep the cavalry balanced, not to mention, but also better leverage. ”

"My lord, the design of this thing is simply ingenious. You see, this saddle is placed on the horse's back, so that people don't have to clamp the horse's belly with their legs. Then the man's legs hang down on the stirrup, and he can use the stirrup to borrow strength. In this way, people are no longer rootless duckweeds on the horse. In this way, the slashing of the cavalry will inevitably be more powerful and heavy. Chen Deng pointed to the saddle and stirrups, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"With this thing, it is bound to overturn the entire history of cavalry. And in this way, our cavalry will greatly narrow the gap with the northern cavalry. Chen Deng couldn't help but admire.

"It's just my lord, where is this thing used?" Chen Deng pointed to the horseshoe on the drawing paper and said.

Li Chen looked at the horseshoe he had drawn, and then explained to Chen Deng: "This thing is called a horseshoe, also called a horseshoe. If a horse runs for a long time, it will take a long time to recuperate when the horse's hooves are worn to a certain extent. And the horse nailed to the horseshoe does not need to worry about the wear and tear of the hooves. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, such a detail can be thought of."

"It's really the great talent of the world." Chen Deng couldn't help but admire.

Li Chen smiled slightly, and did not claim to be credited, but said very modestly: "Yuanlong, quickly go and order the craftsmen of the government to build this thing as soon as possible." As soon as the horses for Gongsun Chan arrived, they equipped our cavalry. ”
