Wizard! This Cao Liang is really an unpredictable freak!

This high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups can definitely become the existence of subverting cavalry tactics, with these two harnesses, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be qualitatively improved, and perhaps the cavalry will become the real main force on the battlefield.

People's inertial thinking is terrible, unilateral stirrups have been born for almost 300 years, as far as the Han Dynasty has been adopted, until the Three Kingdoms period, has become the standard equipment of war horses.

The use of unilateral stirrups is to provide convenience for horses, before the invention of unilateral stirrups, horses have to use horse stones, but the use of horse stones is really inconvenient, so unilateral stirrups will be invented for people to step on horses.

As for the horse, the stirrup loses its effect, and in everyone's mind, this stirrup is used when the horse is mounted, and has nothing to do with riding.

It wasn't until now that I saw the bilateral stirrups that everyone, including Sima Yi, suddenly realized that they could still be used in stirrups like this, how to change it simply, making it easier to ride a horse, and it is no longer difficult to control a horse.

Why hasn't anyone discovered this mystery for hundreds of years? But when you come to Cao Liang, you can make innovations and applications?

Sima Yi couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, Cao Liang is really an extraordinary character, from catapults, crossbows to new harnesses, each of his inventions and innovations has a considerable degree of practicality, and has a significant effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Cao Liang's opponent is the most difficult opponent Sima Yi has encountered in his life, he is not only outstanding, but also has amazing actions every time, even Zhuge Liang, who is called Sima Yi's lifelong enemy, did not give Sima Yi such a headache.

Sima Yi shook the reins slightly, shouted "Ride", and let the war horse trot around in front of the camp.

Although Sima Yi has not ridden a horse for a long time, he can also clearly feel the difference between using this new harness and not using a new harness, using such a new harness, it is more comfortable and convenient to control the war horse, even an old man like him with inconvenient legs and feet, it is effortless to ride such a war horse, let alone a strong and healthy middle-aged cavalry.

Sima Yi is not the kind of person who eats the ancients, rejects all novelties, like this kind of thing that can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Sima Yi still appreciates it and will actively promote it.

Now that the state army is equipped with such a harness, which effectively improves the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Sima Yi naturally sees it in his eyes, in fact, these saddle stirrups are not much difficult, as long as there are samples, just find a few craftsmen to come, you can imitate them.

Therefore, after Sima Yi dismounted, he immediately ordered these saddle stirrups to be used as samples and sent back to Luoyang, where there was a special workshop for making horse harnesses, so that they could build them on a large scale according to the samples, and prepare for large-scale equipment of Sima Jun's cavalry troops in the future.

What the state army has, Sima Jun can not be less, can not lag behind, as long as there are samples, Sima Yi believes that in a very short period of time, Sima Jun will also have the same.

"Zhao'er, you did a good job this time, as long as our cavalry is equipped with these same horse harnesses, why worry about not being able to catch up with the cavalry of the state." Sima Yi greatly appreciated Sima Zhao's ability to seize these harnesses this time.

Sima Zhao listened to Sima Yi's praise, and his heart was as beautiful as eating honey, ordinary Sima Yi was extremely strict with their brothers, often reprimanding more than praising him, and rarely praised him like today, which shows the weight of these harnesses in Sima Yi's heart.

Sima Yi's city is very deep, and he is usually moody and invisible, even if he is his son, he may not be able to understand his thoughts.

But this time Sima Yi's attention to the new harness of the Bingzhou army is extraordinary, after the first confrontation with the Bingzhou cavalry, Sima Yi urgently needs to get a sample of the new harness of the Bingzhou army, but for two days, the Bingzhou army has been avoiding the battle, and Sima Jun has no chance to obtain it at all.

In this battle of Xiasang, although Sima Jun dispatched heavy troops, it still failed to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Xiao cavalry battalion, but in the end, Sima Zhao still made some gains, intercepted and killed a lot of Bingzhou cavalry, and more importantly, intercepted the new horse harness that Sima Yi urgently needed.

So Sima Yi was disappointed, but he still heard a good news.

Although there are samples, it will take a long time before Sima Jun can equip these harnesses, and it will require diligent training to form combat effectiveness, so it is impossible to convert them into combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

However, this is not important, the important thing is that from now on, the Sima army can master the same technology and equipment as the Bingzhou army, and I believe that in the future, the combat effectiveness and speed of the Sima army's cavalry can also be improved to the same level as the Bingzhou army.

"Father, what should we do next?" After the sample was sent away, Sima Zhao sighed secretly and asked Sima Yi how to fight next.

It will take a long time to make a horse harness that is exactly the same as that of the Bingzhou army, and Sima Yi must be unwilling to withdraw at this moment, he has always believed that relying on the numerical superiority, it is still possible to defeat the Bingzhou army.

Although the Battle of Xiasang failed to encircle and annihilate the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, nor did it force the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion to appear, Sima Yi still did not give up, and he praised Sima Zhao's move of sending troops to bite the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to the death.

There are again and again, there are no repeats and fours, and the state army has already fled twice, Sima Yi does not believe that they have a third chance, and now all the men and horses of the Sima army are advancing in an orderly manner, even though the Xiao cavalry battalion is as slippery as a snake, but the space left for him to escape is getting smaller and smaller, and the entire Qi County has almost all fallen into the hands of Sima Jun, and the next battle, the Xiao cavalry battalion may not be so lucky.

Sima Yi ordered the battalions of the Sima army to continue to increase the pursuit of the Xiao cavalry battalion of the Bingzhou army, and it was necessary to annihilate the Xiao cavalry battalion in the area of Qi County.

Long-distance galloping, for the cavalry, is extremely physical and energy-consuming, since the day before yesterday, the two sides have been caught in the pursuit of each other, whether it is the state army or the Sima army, are almost to the limit, the Sima army to the end of the crossbow, the cavalry battalion is naturally not better there, now is completely the time to compete willpower, to see who can hold on to the end, who will win.
