Chapter 156: This Is Really Good
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
"Ah, who's calling this, it's too ugly." Li Dongsheng is very sad and indignant, my brother is also a suave talent, why did he give me all kinds of nicknames when he came to the army.
"I don't know who started to call you, but that's what they call you anyway, saying that as long as you get out of the horse, you can succeed immediately. Even Pei Sheng, a thousand-year-old moldy ghost who hasn't been promoted for a few years, has made a great success by going out shopping with you. ”
Li Dongsheng didn't know what to say, Su Dingfang looked at his black and white face for a while and laughed: "Okay, this is also a good thing for you, everyone expressed their sincere admiration for the chief manager to bring you on this expedition, and he is really a superior person, and he has the wisdom to know people." Ha ha. ”
"By the way, I was almost diverted by you, what is the use of this horse iron you are talking about? If you don't say it, you can't leave. ”
Li Dongsheng took Su Dingfang to the logistics brigade. There is a special ordnance supervisor in the logistics, mainly for the custody and repair of ordnance, and any broken spears, open horizontal knives, etc., will be sent to the ordnance superintendent for repair, and there are more than 10 blacksmiths inside. After camping during the day and at night, it tinkles and knocks every day.
Li Dongsheng still has a status in logistics, and everyone knows him. The supervisor of the ordnance prison saw Li Dongsheng coming over and greeted him with a smile: "Li joined the army, how can you have time to come to our place today, and I am not afraid of disturbing you."
Li Dongsheng also smiled and said: "Lord Hu, it's funny, there is something I want to build by a blacksmith." ”
Hu Jian said: "For such a trivial matter, you still have to join the army and come over in person?" He pulled a blacksmith by the hand: "You help Li join the army to make something, you must be attentive, otherwise you will look good." ”
The blacksmith nodded busily under the obscenity of Hu Jianyu, and led them to the fiery hearth.
In fact, the creation of a horseshoe is very simple, mainly a problem with this idea. Four U-shaped iron sheets, drill a few small holes in the middle to facilitate nailing, that is, an hour to look, four horseshoes to create a complete.
Li Dongsheng asked Su Dingfang to bring a horse over. A few cavalrymen were also called to come and help. He asked the blacksmith to bring a knife, and with the help of several men he held the horse in place, and told the blacksmith to use the knife to smooth the cuticle on the horse's hooves.
The blacksmith was blinded: "Master Jun, this horse is a treasure, can you shovel it with a knife?" Isn't this horse going to be wasted? ”
Li Dongsheng said: "Don't talk nonsense, tell you to shovel, you don't have to worry about accidents." "Li Dongsheng has discovered for a while that you can't talk to these people like in the academy or the army, but directly use the privileges of the official to suppress it, this effect is the best, otherwise you will be annoyed to death if you explain. Does he have to say that the horse's hooves are composed of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard horn about 2-3 centimeters thick, and the upper layer is living? The horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, and they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of water. He doesn't necessarily understand what he says.
Hu Jian also reprimanded: "You talk a lot, is it itchy?" You will do whatever Li Senjun says. ”
The blacksmith wept and held the horse's legs hard, and shoveled the horse's hooves with a knife, his expression was so painful, that he was afraid that the horse would hurt and kick him. But fortunately, after leveling a horse's hoof, Li Dongsheng took a horseshoe and handed it to him: "Nailing this one." ”
"Huh?" Even Su Dingfang and Hu Jianyu are also fluted, nailing this with nails? Isn't that horse going to die of pain? The horsemen who came to help hurriedly increased their strength to hold the horses tightly, and in a frenzy of shouting, the blacksmith finally drove the horseshoe into the four hooves after making great sacrifices.
"Well, that's good." Li Dongsheng looked at the horses walking in the field, and his expression was very satisfied. He said to the blacksmith covered in horseshoe prints: "Very good, you have also made a great contribution, wait for the reward." After speaking, he didn't care about being dumbfounded, said hello to Hu Jianyu and left with Su Dingfang with the horse.
The horse was very unaccustomed, and his walking posture was strange, and he called twice from time to time, and after walking for a while, the horse finally got used to the new shoes and walked normally. Su Dingfang followed for a while, and then came back to his senses: "Dongsheng, you are a terrible thing." ”
He grabbed Li Dongsheng: "Do you know how many war horses my Datang has to lose every year due to the wear and tear of horses' hooves?" Su Dingfang's face turned red: "Do you know that because of the wear and tear of war horses, the Tang cavalry only has 20% of the number of infantry soldiers every year?" ”
Li Dongsheng squinted at Su Dingfang and grabbed his hand: "I don't know, but big brother, can you not grab my clothes when you speak?" ”
"You still have this attitude? You have always had this attitude, you go to Dashuai with me, do you know how anxious Dashuai is during this time? With this, we can enter the grassland with confidence, and we are not afraid of the damage of the war horse and dare not attack in a big way? ”
Su Dingfang almost dragged Li Dongsheng to the handsome tent, Li Dongsheng was very ashamed by the strange eyes of the guards on the road, but he really couldn't break free.
"Chief Administrator Qiqi, his subordinate Su Dingfang has a major military situation." He made a loud report outside the tent.
"Come in." Li Jing's majestic voice came from the big tent.
The two entered the big tent together, and Li Jing watched Li Dongsheng being dragged in, and his eyes were very strange: "Su Lie, what military situation?" ”
"Qi Qi Commander, Li Senjun invented a horseshoe, which can greatly reduce the damage of war horses, this is a great credit to our army, the horses are outside the tent, please inspect the chief manager."
"Is that true?" Li Jing Huoran got up, he had an idea in his heart, but it was the matter of this war horse that was delayed, Datang is not Turkic, it can be a large-scale maneuver of one person and three horses, or two horses, only one person and one horse, if the war horse is damaged, it is a disaster, in the vast prairie, there is basically no way to survive with two legs.
Li Jing took the lead out of the tent and saw a war horse in the middle of the field. It doesn't look any different from the outside, does it? Su Dingfang walked to the side of the horse, asked a few people to hold down the horse, and then raised a horse's hoof: "Chief Administrator, please look." ”
Li Jing looked at this thing made of iron on the horse's hooves, and he understood the purpose of this thing after a little thought: "Okay, this is a good thing!" It's just such a simple piece of semicircular iron, no one has thought of it for so many years, and now with it, we can crisscross the desert. ”
He turned to Su Dingfang and said, "Call the ordnance supervisor over, gather all the blacksmiths to make this and this horseshoe overnight tonight, and pass the order that all the horseshoes of the cavalry camp must be nailed to this thing within three days!" ”
After thinking for a while, he said to the guards: "A few of you, supervise the progress of the ordnance supervisor, and after they fight, immediately send them to Xu Shichang, Zhang Gongjin, Chai Shao, Wei Xiaojie, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche on fast horses, bring the horseshoe over, and let their cavalry camp also load." ”
