"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qinghe said in the court a few days ago that after the soldiers are equipped with improved harness and weapons, they can be ten with one, and the ministers still want to see it!" Another general, dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a jade crown, stepped forward and said.

"Well, General Zhao is right, I also want to see it!" Qin Shi Huang nodded and looked at Chen Xu, "Trouble Qinghe Hou to arrange a confrontation drill!" ”

"Good!" Chen Xu agreed, hesitated slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the sword soldier has no eyes, and the minister requests to use wooden weapons, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties!" ”

"It is inevitable that the battlefield will be killed and injured, how can you see the effect of the drill with a wooden blade, I think there is no need to change weapons!" Li Xin arched his hand and said.

Qin Shi Huang was about to nod, Chen Xu took a step forward and stood next to Li Xin and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, every soldier and soldier are all my Great Qin soldiers, you can die on the battlefield, you can die in the hands of the enemy, but it is too cruel to die in the hands of your own people, and the minister insists on using wooden weapons!" ”

Qin Shi Huang hesitated a little and then nodded: "Quasi!" ”

"Your Majesty, please send fifty guards to cooperate!"

"Quasi~"

Seeing Qin Shi Huang's permission, Li Xin no longer spoke, the two sides retreated to Qin Shi Huang's side, under the command of the head of the guard, soon sent fifty cavalry, Yingbu also sent five forbidden soldiers who had just practiced, and soon there were soldiers sent dozens of wooden sticks, the length was different, the short one was equivalent to a sword, the long one was equivalent to a big knife and a spear, and after both sides got the wooden weapons, they stood in a distance of 100 meters on the martial arts field.

"Out~", there were many people on the forbidden army's side, and they launched an attack first, one by one holding a wooden stick, and the other hand tightly pulling the reins of the horse, and rushing up with a low body against the horse's back.

"Out~", Yingbu also shouted, and the five forbidden soldiers also rushed out with a horse's belly, but all of them did not pull the reins, and danced the long stick in their hands with both hands to meet them.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves on the martial arts arena were flying, and the sand and dust were rolling, and the violent sound of the horse's hooves sounded like muffled thunder.

Looking at the forbidden army who hugged the horse's neck tightly and hung their two legs bumpy and swaying, and then looked at the five subordinates who sat on the horseback with their feet in stirrups and sat as steady as Mount Tai, Chen Xu's face was quite relaxed.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, but at the moment this is not the same level of war at all, riding a motorcycle will definitely not be able to hit an off-road vehicle, because the safety level is not a little bit worse, but ten times or eight times.

"Kill~~"

It is too late and that is fast, and the distance of 100 meters is also instantaneous for the speed of the war horse, on one side are five people, who seem to be weak in strength, and the other half of the fifty horses seem to be brave, but at the moment when the two sides meet each other, the victory and defeat are basically divided, and everyone watching the battle has their eyes bulging out.

With the roar one after another, bang, five forbidden army legs and back arms holding long sticks together to exert force, stepping on the stirrups The long stick in the hand roared and swept out, and suddenly people turned on their backs in an instant, and the opponent without the strength of the stirrup only had a slight tilt of the body and the bumps of the war horse, and fell down one after another under the impact.

The two sides were staggered, and the five forbidden troops on Chen Xu's side were like five sharp swords that directly pierced the opponent's camp, and the figures and sticks behind them fell to the ground, and a few of them were directly kicked off the opponent's horse with their feet, and they fought reflexively, the ending was still the same, and more fell down, in less than ten minutes, this confrontation drill ended, because all the fifty soldiers were thrown off their horses.

"This ...... This...... It's too much! Li Xin, who was standing beside Chen Xu, opened his mouth wide and his face was full of dementia.

It's no wonder that he was so surprised, but the result of the whole battle was completely beyond his expectations, it stands to reason that even if he can't win, he can at least fight it, but what he sees in front of him is a completely one-sided ending, and the fifty most fierce guards of Great Qin are completely vulnerable in the horse battle.

The fifty forbidden troops who had all fallen from their horses stood in line with blue noses and swollen faces, and the five victorious forbidden troops also returned and dismounted with triumphant faces.

"I finally know the sharp weapon that Qinghe Hou is talking about, not a weapon, but this stirrup and saddle!" Qin Shi Huang came back to his senses for a long time.

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see the joints at a glance!" Chen Xu slapped a sycophant on his mouth, and then ordered a forbidden army to raise the front hooves of a war horse and said: "Your Majesty, please see, in addition to the stirrup and saddle, the minister also invented a thing, called the horseshoe, nailed to the horse's paw can be used to protect the horse's hooves, with this horseshoes, even the gravel desert and hard mountains can run freely, and my Daqin lacks war horses, and every battle will have a large number of war horses because of the damage to the feet and hooves and become lame horses can only pull carts and plough the land, after nailing the iron palm, The survival time of a war horse can be extended several times. ”

"This thing won't fall off?" Li Xin walked over and carefully looked at a black crescent-shaped iron bar nailed to the horse's hooves, and asked suspiciously.

"Di Daohou rest assured, this horseshoe is nailed into the horseshoe with iron nails several inches long, and it is also polished with special knife pliers and steel files, and it will definitely not fall off, but this iron palm will naturally wear out after a long time, and it may have to be replaced every few years!" Chen Xu explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this horseshoe is indeed a strange thing, plus a saddle, stirrup and a sharp steel blade, if you can organize 30,000 cavalry, the minister can lead this iron hoof army to sweep through the northwest, and complete the task of pacifying the Xiongnu and Donghu for Your Majesty!" Li Xin excitedly saluted Qin Shi Huang.

Li Xin is an authentic Qin people, living in Xianyang, his ancestors are military generals, he is regarded as a young Zhuang faction among the military generals of the Qin State, his father Li Yao was a lieutenant under the general Bai Qi, participated in the Battle of Changping, after Bai Qi's death, Qin State has participated in several expeditions against Zhao Li Yao, and has accumulated a lot of merits, and was named Di Daohou.

The first thing Qin Shi Huang did after he became an adult was to scare Zhao State, and sent the general Wang Qian, and Li Yao was appointed by Qin Shi Huang as the Taishou of Nanjun because of old age and illness, and Li Xin led the army from Taiyuan Yunzhong two counties to assist Wang Jian and conquer Handan and made great contributions, so far Li Xin became famous in a war, and gradually emerged in the next battle to unify the six countries, and his military achievements were promoted all the way to the general, but unfortunately because of his youth and vigor, he did not listen to Wang Qian's advice in the battle to destroy Chu, and he was too light The enemy led 200,000 troops to attack the Chu State, Then the fart and urine that was killed by the Chu army was almost wiped out, and Qin Shi Huang had to ask Wang Jian to go out of the mountain again and gather 600,000 troops to complete the task of conquering the Chu state.

And the failure of the war against Chu has also become a stain on Li Xin, but Qin Shi Huang, who is still deep, values it, and later participated in the war of destroying Yan and Qi, all as the deputy generals of Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, but his prestige in the army is not as good as before, and he lives a relatively low-key life on weekdays.

After Li Yao's death, Li Xin took the title of Marquis Di Dao of his father, so Li Xin is now one of the few martial marquis in the Great Qin Empire.

But after seeing Chen Xu's improved harness and weapons today, Li Xin felt that his chance to wash away his shame had come.

"Good! Di Daohou is indeed my Great Qin Fierce General, I am very relieved, but this matter still needs to be carefully considered, and it will be discussed in the court another day! Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed, and after speaking, he pointed to the war horse with a saddle stirrup and said, "I also want to ride and try this improved harness!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" A group of ministers turned pale with fright, and all of them spoke out to dissuade them.

Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times and said, "Your Majesty, this war horse is not familiar with your smell, in case the panic hurts Your Majesty, why don't you let Di Daohou help you take a test ride?" ”

"Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Qinghe said is very true, and the minister is willing to take a test ride on his behalf." Li Xin hurriedly said.

"It's okay, just let Di Daohou help me test it, all of you who are good at riding can try it!" Although Qin Shi Huang was very eager to feel this new harness, he was unwilling to disobey the good intentions of all the ministers, so he had to be disappointed.

"Try it!" The general surnamed Zhao who had just spoken also walked in front of a group of war horses.

"Try it too!" Another general in a brocade robe and jade crown came out of the crowd.

Even a few Wenchen were eager to try, and suddenly more than a dozen people came out of the hula lala, and the first few had already turned over and got on the horse, sitting in the saddle and stepping on the stirrups to continue to surprise and admire.

"Take the broadsword with me!" Li Xin stretched out his hand, and a forbidden soldier next to him hurriedly handed over the big knife.

"Driving~" After Li Xin held the big knife for a short period of surprise, his face was even more happy, learning from the appearance of a few forbidden soldiers, he didn't pull the reins, his legs knocked on the stirrups, and the war horse neighed and rushed out, heading straight to the strawman position.

"Chop~" Li Xin is worthy of being a general, he is skilled in bowing and horses, although he is holding an unfamiliar super heavy knife at this time, but after a little adaptation, he roared and slashed a straw man.

"Haha, good, it's really a good weapon!" Li Xin rode on the horse and let out an extremely hearty and surprised laugh, constantly adjusting his body, swinging the big knife again and again, slashing left and right, galloping all the way past the straw man position, cutting off three straw men and then turning the horse back, and then cutting off three or four straw men before stopping.

"Some-and-so!" Another general with a spear in his hand also rushed out into the straw man position, stabbing left and right, although not as familiar as the soldiers who had just a few drills, but his arm strength was even worse, and he rammed all the way over, picking up a full five straw men, and when he returned, Li Xin slapped his horse to meet him.

"Zhao Tuo, kill with someone!"

"Haha, okay, Zhao will try the big knife in Di Daohou's hand!" Zhao Tuo no longer dealt with the straw man, but danced the spear in his hand and went straight to Li Xin, and the two soon fought together in the martial arts arena.

The war horses ran back and forth, and the sound of guns and knives echoing and shouting instantly resounded throughout the factory.

Qin Shi Huang and the accompanying ministers of civil and military affairs all looked directly at the two generals who were fighting back and forth, and thousands of forbidden troops were also looking sideways, all holding their breath and staring at each other, and the fierce battle made people's blood tremble.

Seven or eight minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo were both sweating profusely, but the more they fought, the more excited they became, this kind of fierce battle on the horse but had a down-to-earth fierce battle made them find an unparalleled self-confidence, so the more they fought, the more addicted they became, and they were slightly restrained at first, but then they completely entered a kind of selfless fighting, and the two of them were on equal footing, shouting constantly in the light of the sword and the shadow of the gun, and the blade and the broadsword collided in the air, and a bright spark popped out from time to time.

"That's enough, tell the two generals to stop!" Qin Shi Huang felt that the two of them might be injured if they continued, so he raised his hand to stop it.

With a sharp bamboo whistle sounded, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo quickly stopped after hearing it, and each pulled the reins back, at this time the brocade robes and beards of the two were scattered, and the sweat on their faces was rolling and flowing like washing, but both of them had infinite comfort and surprise on their faces, and after giving each other hands, they hung up their weapons, and stopped at a position ten zhang away from Qin Shi Huang and dismounted together.

"Your Majesty, this saddle stirrup is like a divine object, and it only needs to equip tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough to sweep away the Huns!" Li Xin bowed with excitement on his face.

"Your Majesty, Di Daohou is right, with stirrups and saddles, and equipped with such sharp and heavy weapons, the horse pawn will no longer be a guerrilla attack force, but will completely become the main force on the battlefield, my Great Qin can completely abandon the cumbersome way of charging the chariot from now on, and there is no one in the world under the assault!" Zhao Tuo was also excited.
