Chapter 963: Help Me Up

Sima Zhao's eyes couldn't help but light up, this thing was what Sima Yi was most eager to see, he had never gotten it before, but he didn't expect that this battle, although the Xiao cavalry battalion escaped, but they also suffered a lot of casualties, and they didn't have time to calmly pack up these things. ∈ 8∈8∈ read ∈ books, .≦.o≧

Sima Zhao ordered those harnesses to be taken off from the carcasses of the war horses and sent to Sima Yi immediately, which could be regarded as a kind of harvest.

Another defeat in the battle made Sima Yi's face more and more gloomy, now Sima Yi's situation is quite bad, the front line has run out of food, and the supporting grain and grass have been attacked by the state army, and more than half of the losses have been lost, although the remaining half of the grain and grass can still solve the immediate urgency, but the dilemma of lack of grain and grass is not solved for a day, and the entire army is on the verge of collapse.

This is also the reason why Sima Yi has been pursuing a quick victory, on the surface, watching tens of thousands of cavalry roaring and galloping, chasing the enemy in all directions, it is very beautiful, but behind the scenery, there are countless crises lurking, if you can't solve the problem from the root, Sima Jun will really be unsustainable.

The battle of Xiasang was originally the best opportunity, if Sima Jun could grasp it and eat the Xiaocai battalion in one fell swoop, then it could fundamentally solve the problem.

But unfortunately, although Sima Junjun made full preparations first, he was still unable to complete this goal, and the strength of the state cavalry once again refreshed Sima Yi's cognition.

The 40,000 people were not able to destroy the 10,000 cavalry of the Bingzhou army, and this battle was enough to make people feel chilled.

"Father, a lot of horse harness has been captured this time, the child has already seen it, it is indeed of great help to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, and the improvement of the combat power of the cavalry battalion must be related to this. ¥♀ 8 ¥ ♀ Eight ¥ ♀ Read ¥ ♀ Book, .2 ≠ ◆" Sima Zhao saw that Sima Yi's face was obviously a little displeased, and quickly told him the good news.

Sima Yi's face eased slightly, Sima Yi was indeed very interested in the new harness of the Bingzhou Army, and he had only heard Sima Bing's account of the defeat before, but he didn't expect that this battle could be captured in kind, which finally made Sima Yi feel a little more comfortable.

Sima Zhao said: "Father, it is inconvenient to demonstrate in this tent, please move outside and have a look." ”

Sima Yi nodded and came to the tent with Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao did not pile the captured harness directly on the ground, but deliberately equipped them on horseback.

These harnesses are also very simple to equip with, just put the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups on the horse's back, and tie the straps to the horse's belly, which is very strong and strong.

Although he heard Sima Bing on the battlefield describe the general shape of these horse harnesses, Sima Yi also had a preliminary impression in his mind, but when he really saw the real thing at this moment, Sima Yi was still very shocked.

The structure of these harnesses is not complicated, and it can even be said to be quite simple, compared to ordinary saddles, the Takahashi saddle is only one more shape with a high front and rear high and a depression in the middle, and the bilateral stirrups are just one more on the basis of the unilateral stirrups, although the material is slightly different, but the shape of the stirrups has not changed, or the shape of the ring, and the size is just right for the feet to fit in.

But it is simple but not simple, this small improvement has really improved the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou cavalry, what an incredible thing it seems.

In order to make Sima Yi see more intuitively, except for the one war horse in front of him that was empty, the other war horses equipped with new harness were all ridden by riders, although it was the first time for them to ride such a horse, but they didn't seem to feel any discomfort, and they were very handy when they drove the war horses.

Of course, this is just the feeling of riding, if you really want to fight and gallop, you have to go through a series of drills.

Sima Yi patted the saddle and said to Sima Zhao, "Help me up." ”

Sima Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, you can just look at these things, there's no need to try them yourself, right?" ”

Sima Yi hadn't ridden a horse for several years, after all, he was old, with old arms and legs, it was already very difficult to ride a horse, and if he fell off the horse, the consequences would be really serious.

Sima Yi glared at him and shouted in a deep voice: "My father is not old enough to ride a horse, help me up!" ”

Sima Zhao didn't dare to disobey, so he had to help Sima Yi get on the horse.

Compared with the current popular horse harness, the stirrup of the Bingzhou Army is indeed a bit tall, and it is not very suitable for stepping on the horse, but a pro-soldier next to him has sharp eyes, leans down and kneels on the ground, arches his waist, and lets Sima Yi step on his back, and Sima Yi can be regarded as riding on the horse.

Of course, this is only because Sima Yi is old and his legs and feet are not good, so it is more difficult to get on the horse, if it is a young man, a slightly taller stirrup is not a big deal, and when you step on it, you can fly on the horse, and it is neat.

It is true that Sima Yi has not ridden a horse for many years, and for a long time, the chaser has become his main means of transportation, but Sima Yi's horseback riding has not become rusty because of this, and the feeling that has been lost for a long time seems to return to his memory.

The leather shell of the Takahashi saddle has a good sense of comfort, and when Sima Yi sits on the horse's back, his butt is firmly stuck in the groove, unable to move back and forth, so he no longer has to worry about slipping off the horse's back.

And Sima Yi's feet also happened to step on the metal ring sleeve of the stirrups, which made him immediately have a down-to-earth feeling.

In the past, when riding a horse, the feet were always in the air, giving people a very unsteady feeling, and they could only hold on tightly to the horse's mane or reins, so that they would have a sense of security, but now with bilateral stirrups, they feel steady, and their hands can also let go of the reins.

Sima Yi was so experienced that he could not understand the importance of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrup to the cavalry, he had been amazed by what he had heard before, but now that he had experienced it, he naturally discovered the true magic of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrups.

Simple things, but can achieve extraordinary results, which made Sima Yi also shocked, even he is a dying old man, can easily control the war horse, then those skilled cavalry soldiers, if they change these horse harnesses, how can the combat effectiveness be increased exponentially!

It is no wonder that the cavalry combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army can be rapidly improved in such a short period of time, and the high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups are really a great achievement, and their role is irreplaceable. 11.
