Chen Xu called Yingbu over and whispered a few words, and then Yingbu took the order and left, and after a while, he led more than a dozen forbidden soldiers to more than a dozen high-headed horses loaded with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, and steel weapons of different sizes and shapes were hung next to the saddles of each horse.

And looking at the new saddle on the horse's back like a seat, many people showed a puzzled look, the stirrups seemed to be ignored, and most people's eyes fell on the weapons hanging next to the saddle, although these weapons had a strange style, but they didn't seem to be much different from the big sword and the halberd, so after seeing it, many people turned their heads to look at Chen Xu.

Even Qin Shi Huang's face was a little solemn.

"Your Majesty, the new weapon I am talking about is not a pure weapon, but a complete set of improved equipment on the war horse, hearing is false, seeing is believing, or let people practice for Your Majesty and your lords first, and then explain it to Your Majesty after seeing the effect on the battlefield!" Chen Xu said with a relaxed expression.

"Quasi~" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

"Yingbu, arrange for people to get on the horse and verify the power of the battle one by one!" Chen Xu gave the order.

"Yes, Master Hou~" Yingbu gave his hand to the order, and with a wave of his hand, several soldiers who had been familiar with and practiced for several days checked and sorted out the saddle and abdominal belt, and then stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse.

"Huh~" There were a few suspicious voices among the onlookers. And most of the hundreds of forbidden troops around them had incredible expressions on their faces.

Civil officials usually go out to ride and don't ride horses, so they don't understand the importance of stirrups, but people who ride horses every day see the difference in an instant, because the stirrups step on it, and the saddle on the horseback doesn't move at all, which shows that this stirrup is not just as simple as getting on and off the horse to borrow strength, and sharp-eyed people have discovered that there is a stirrup on each side of these war horses that can be used to step on the feet, because at this time, several forbidden troops after getting on the horse are stepping on the stirrup with both feet.

"Broadsword drill, out!" With Yingbu's order, a tall and burly soldier knocked his legs on the horse's belly, stimulated by the dull thorns of the stirrup, the war horse neighed and ran out, but the forbidden army sitting on horseback did not pull the reins, but used his legs to let the hips leave the stirrup, and the body bowed slightly while taking off the big knife with both hands, and the distance of dozens of meters came in an instant, looking at the straw man who was getting closer and closer, the forbidden army suddenly waved the big knife with both hands.

"Chop~" accompanied by a loud shout, the big knife slashed a black light in the air, only to hear a snort, a waist-thick straw man rose into the air and dispersed in the air.

In order to adapt to this kind of horse warfare, the distance and position between these straw men are adjusted, not completely arranged in a straight line, but messily placed, and the spacing between each straw man is about ten zhang, so that there is enough time to adjust the weapon during the exercise, which is also to better show the power of the new weapon.

"Slash~"

"Poof~" As the knife fell, another scarecrow was cut off.

"Chop~Chop~Chop~"

With the roar of the forbidden army in the drill one after another, the big knife dance in the hand was whirring, the war horse rushed left and right in the scarecrow, and soon rushed out of the scarecrow position, the horse's hooves flew and splashed a puff of dust, and behind the war horse also left a section of scarecrow that fell into the air, constantly fluttering and smashing on the ground.

"It's really powerful!" A military general let out a surprise and fiery exclamation.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the forbidden army of the drill held a big knife in one hand, grabbed the reins with one hand, turned the horse's head and galloped back, stopped at a distance of about ten zhang from Qin Shi Huang, hung up the big knife and hugged his fist and shouted: "The big knife drill is over, please return to the team!" ”

"Homecoming!" Yingbu shouted, and the forbidden army in the drill pulled the reins and slowly retreated to the position where they had just set off.

"Vertical target!" Yingbu shouted again, and more than a dozen helpers rushed into the drill position with the scarecrow on their shoulders, inserted the scarecrow in their hands into the ground, and at the same time took away the severed scarecrow.

"Spear drill, out!" Yingbu gave the order again, and a forbidden soldier who was also burly rushed out with a horse's belly, and at the same time took off his spear and quickly rushed into the straw man position, the spear in his hand stabbed left and right, accompanied by the sound of shouting and fluttering, one by one the scarecrows were pierced and flew, in just four or five minutes, more than ten scarecrows fell to the ground.

"Sabre out~"

After the straw man position was set up again, Yingbu gave an order, three horses galloped out, and the three forbidden soldiers on horseback drew out slender sabers with arcs, one after another bent down and waved the swords in their hands, and after accumulating enough strength, at the moment of contact with the straw man, the saber flashed black light and swept over the straw man, accompanied by the sound of fluttering, one by one the straw men were cut off, although they were not cut off, but then there were sabers cut up, three war horses rushed left and right in the straw man position, leaving a broken straw man behind him, Half of them were cut off.

"Meteor Hammer Drill, Out!"

"Big axe drill, out!"

With Yingbu's orders one after another, one by one the forbidden troops successively used different weapons to participate in the drill.

As the drill progressed, not only Qin Shi Huang's face became more and more serious, but even the civil officials who didn't know how to fight horses were all excited, not to mention the military generals, and they were all excited to tear the forbidden army off their horses and practice it themselves.

Half an hour later, after the drill was completed, more than a dozen forbidden troops all dismounted and lined up neatly.

"Your Majesty, this is the new type of horse war weapon developed by the minister, this big sword, swords, spears and other weapons are made of steel, not only sharper and wear-resistant than copper weapons, and the toughness is not easy to break, and more importantly, it is much cheaper than copper weapons, once steel can be smelted on a large scale, not only weapons, including farm tools, carriages and other appliances can be used in large quantities, but in fact, the most important thing is not weapons, but the stirrups and saddles on the horses, with this fixed saddle, The soldiers sitting on it will not lose control of the body because of the bumps of the war horse, plus the stirrups, you can borrow the strength of your feet when attacking, so that the strength of the legs, waist and back arms can be perfectly exerted, this big knife weighs fifty pounds, but the soldiers wield it is not very laborious, and it can play the effect of chopping melons and vegetables on the battlefield! ”

"Come on, verify the sharpness and hardness of the steel weapon for Your Majesty!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he commanded loudly.

"Oh~" A forbidden soldier who participated in the drill drew a slender saber.

"Your Majesty, let one of your guards strike with a big sword in hand!"

"Your Majesty, let me come!" An accompanying military general walked out of the crowd, took the bronze sword in the hand of a forbidden soldier and strode to the clearing.

The general is in his thirties, burly and handsome, wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, he should also be a marquis general, but Chen Xu doesn't know him, because he basically doesn't know much about the civil and military officials in Xianyang at the moment.

"Accurate, auditioned by Di Daohou!"

Li Xin! Chen Xu was slightly stunned, there are not many marquis in Daqin at the moment, most of them are martial arts, so he still has some heard of several marquis of Xianyang who are at the same level as himself, this Di Daohou is the general Li Xin, that is, the ancestor of the famous general Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, with outstanding military achievements, participated in the battle of destroying Zhao, Yan, Chu and Qi, although the battle of destroying Chu was lost, but it was still valued by Qin Shi Huang, and he is a more powerful figure among the young generation of generals in Daqin today, and Li Xin's marquis was not sealed by Qin Shi Huang, but attacked his father Li Yao, Li Yao used to be the Taishou of Nanjun, but he had died of illness.

"Come, slash me!" Li Xin casually held his sword with both hands and assumed a defensive posture.

"General Li be careful, the saber is abnormally sharp, and the copper sword may break!" Obviously, the forbidden army who participated in the drill also knew Li Xin, and after bowing his hand, he raised his saber, although the saber was a one-handed weapon, he still held the handle of the knife with both hands, and his expression became very serious.

"It's okay, just push hard!" Di Daohou shook his head unconcernedly.

"Offended!" The forbidden army roared and swung the saber and slashed it fiercely, although Li Xin's face was relaxed, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment when the saber was launched, and the bronze big sword in his hand drew a golden sword to meet him.

"When~" With the sound of gold and iron hitting the eardrums, the bronze big sword in Li Xin's hand was broken in two, and the tip of the sword spun in the air and flew out.

"Be careful~" The countless onlookers exclaimed.

Li Xin didn't expect that the bronze sword in his hand was really vulnerable, but after all, he was a general with a high force value, and without the slightest hesitation, he shrank his head and hid and moved his body to the side by half a foot.

"Whew~" A cold black light piercing his skin whistled against his cheeks, a bush of beard fell with the wind, and a strand of hair was cut open.

"Puff~" The forbidden army of the drill turned pale with fright, and knelt on one knee, "Please forgive General Li!" ”

And Li Xin, whose hair was scattered and his beard was missing, looked at the beard flying in the sky, reached out and touched his cheek in horror, and found that he was not injured, so he looked at the bronze sword in his hand with palpitations, and suddenly the cold sweat of beans on his forehead rolled down.

"It's okay, let me see this knife!"

After a short period of distraction, Li Xin dropped the half of the big sword in his hand, reached out and took the saber in the hand of the forbidden army and took a closer look, and found that the sharp blade was only missing a gap in the size of a mushroom, he reached out and touched the blade again, and found that the blade did not have any cracks, only some patterns left by forging, and the blade was extremely sharp like a black line flashing with black light, which made people palpitate when they looked at it.

Li Xin held the saber in both hands and said to Qin Shi Huang with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, this knife is really sharp, several times harder and stronger than the copper sword. ”

"Haha, good, good!" Although Qin Shi Huang himself could not fight on a horse, and his swordsmanship was not very good, he had already believed in what Chen Xu said after seeing more than ten forbidden army drills, and at this time, he saw the sharpness of steel weapons, and his face suddenly showed an extremely happy and excited expression.
