There are many craftsmen needed to create these horse harnesses, blacksmiths, coppersmiths, carpenters, leathermen, etc., although things are simple, but in terms of production process, Cao Liang has extremely strict requirements.

However, now the Bingzhou Army has a mature weapons workshop, in which there are all kinds of craftsmen, all Cao Liang has to do, just give them the drawings, you can produce qualified products, this is beyond doubt.

Of course, Cao Liang wants to produce more than just Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups, in fact, in Cao Liang's blueprint, the three major cavalry battalions also have different cavalry arms, but due to the current situation, the three major cavalry battalions are just different names, and there is no big difference in the configuration of the troops.

Now, the upcoming Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups will turn Cao Liang's blueprint into reality.

In fact, the cavalry can be subdivided into light cavalry, heavy cavalry and archers.

The biggest feature of the light cavalry is that it is flexible and fast, and the defense is relatively weak, and the rider wears leather armor and uses a narrow saber to reduce the load of the horse to the greatest extent and increase the speed to the extreme.

The horses used by the light cavalry were also horses that were known for their speed, and they did not pursue the strength and height of the horses.

The heavy cavalry is just the opposite, the horses selected by the heavy cavalry are all tall and strong, the riders are covered with heavy armor all over the body, and the horses are also covered with horse armor, and each heavy cavalry is a mobile steel fortress.

If the light cavalry is known for its speed and flexibility, and the combat mode is mainly a roundabout surprise attack, then the heavy cavalry is known for its impact power, and the combat mode is mainly a frontal breakthrough.

Light cavalry and the existing cavalry arms are not much different, in order to pursue the ultimate in speed, in the selection of materials as much as possible to light and agile, whether it is horses and riders, are this requirement.

In terms of combat methods, there will be a greater change, and the light cavalry will no longer be tasked with frontal assault, and will mainly focus on roundabout outflanking and mobile operations.

The heavy cavalry is a new independent class, because people and horses are wearing heavy armor, very heavy, so in terms of speed, there is a significant reduction, but the protective ability of the heavy cavalry, is greatly improved, the huge impact brought by this, is also the same as before, heavy cavalry is stubbornly sharp, when they charge, it is necessary to blow a hurricane of steel on the battlefield, become the enemy's nightmare existence.

There is also a new class of cavalry, which is brand new, not necessarily, after all, in the previous cavalry, riders with riding and archery ability still occupy a certain proportion, they rely on strong leg and waist strength to control the horse, free their hands, and use bows and arrows.

That is to say, in the era when there was no Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, the riders who could ride and shoot well could be called the elite among the riders, and Lu Bu and Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms era were the best among them, with superb archery skills and 100 shots.

But after all, such masters are a minority, and at most they can only organize a small detachment, and if you want to truly popularize the art of mounted archery, Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups are almost indispensable.

It is precisely because of the appearance of these harnesses that the rider can free his hands on the horse, have a more stable riding state, and the formation of archers can also become a reality.

The Archer was between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, wearing ordinary armor and medium protection, but they also had extraordinary long-range attack capabilities, and they also had flexible and roundabout combat methods, using weapons such as compound bows or repeaters, as well as sabers and stabs, and had the ability to fight in close quarters.

Compared with light cavalry and heavy cavalry, the archer cavalry is like a composite type of troops, which can attack and defend, and can fight from a distance and in close combat.

In Cao Liang's conception, the Xiao cavalry battalion will be formed into a light cavalry battalion, the Yue cavalry battalion will be formed into an archery cavalry battalion, and the tun cavalry battalion will be formed into a heavy cavalry battalion.

Therefore, the craftsman's workshop created not only the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrup, but also the leather armor and sabre that the light cavalry matched with it, the heavy armor and horse armor that the heavy cavalry matched, and the bows and arrows used by the archers, these equipment and weapons must also be produced.

So the weapons and equipment produced by the weapons workshop in Bingzhou were fully engaged in production, and the weapons and equipment produced by the weapons and equipment in the weapons workshop over the years were all new weapons, so even if they had not seen something, it was already strange to these craftsmen, they only needed to produce according to the design drawings.

The security of the weapons workshop has always been extremely strict, in order to prevent spying by spies, the weapons workshop is strictly guarded, and anyone who wants to infiltrate it is also like trying to reach the sky.

Despite this, Cao Liang still instructed Fang Bu to appoint men to strengthen the security, the importance of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups is self-evident, Cao Liang will never allow the spies of the Sima family to have access to these materials in advance, otherwise, the advantage of the Bingzhou cavalry will no longer exist.

Although in the end these harnesses still have to be put into the battlefield, once they appear on the battlefield, it is impossible not to be known by the enemy, but if the enemy wants to master these things, he must pay the price of blood, and it is impossible to master this technology without paying a little high tuition.

Cao Liang classified some horse harnesses, including the reform of the troops, into the top secret of the state army, that is to say, before the decisive battle, it is impossible for any unrelated personnel to get these news, Cao Liang did this, just to catch Sima Yi off guard.

Sima Yi was trying his best to expand the armament and greatly increase the number of cavalry, thinking that he could crush the Bingzhou army with his numerical superiority, but Cao Liang prepared a big "surprise" for him, and he didn't know what kind of expression Sima Yi would have in the face of such a brand-new Bingzhou cavalry.

For Sima Yi, this will definitely not be a surprise, it can only be a fright, when the cavalry he carefully built encounters a nightmare, it is estimated that Sima Yi's heart will also be extremely broken.

Maybe after this decisive battle, the cavalry of the whole world will also follow the example of the Bingzhou cavalry to equip the Gaoqiao saddle and bilateral stirrups, but the Sima army, who has paid a heavy price, will not have any chance to surpass the Bingzhou army, Cao Liang knows that he can't refuse to be imitated, but he will never allow anyone to surpass him, and the cavalry of the Bingzhou army will always stand on a commanding height, leading the development trend of cavalry. ...
