"Stomp, stomp!"

In the vast barracks, flags were unfurled and war horses were galloping.

Zhao Jia was dressed in armor and led his cavalry to gallop on the school field, and the cavalry fired their bows left and right, and almost every arrow could hit the bull's-eye, with amazing accuracy.

"Phew!"

After another round of cavalry training was completed, Zhao Jia grabbed the reins, and the cavalry behind him also stopped at this time.

"Childe, since the stirrups and saddles have been introduced, the endurance of the cavalry has greatly increased, whether it is archery or charging, it is much easier than before."

Sima Shang wiped the sweat off his face, and his eyes showed excitement.

Two years ago, Zhao Jia had already designed stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, and ordered people to build them secretly.

It's just that the structure of these three things is not complicated, and it is easy to be imitated by other countries.

If you only talk about the combat ability of cavalry, the Zhao State after the Hufu cavalry shooting will naturally surpass the rest of the countries, and even the strong and warlike Qin army cannot compete with the elite cavalry of the Zhao State.

If the Qin State obtained the stirrup, saddle, and horseshoe model, he could quickly form his own cavalry, which would be very disadvantageous to the Zhao State.

This is also why, Zhao Jia has been in this era for so many years, and he has never created the Three Treasures of this horse.

But now, Zhao Jia has a strong sense of crisis, and if he continues to hide these things, he may not be able to survive the next difficulties.

Zhao Jia thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let these three things appear on the stage of history.

Sure enough, the appearance of stirrups and saddles made the cavalry of Zhao State, who were already good at riding and shooting, become more powerful and have a more sustained ability to run.

Prior to this, although Zhao Ren was good at riding and shooting, because there were no stirrups and saddles, riding horses often needed to rely on the legs to clamp the horse's belly, and the skin and flesh on the inner sides of the legs were easy to wear out after a long time.

The slightest mistake can cause the knight to fall off his horse.

Even if the knight is in good condition, without stirrups, the impact will not be enough when charging.

The war horse did not wear a horseshoe, and in the process of charging in complex terrain, the horse's hooves were easily sprained, which greatly restricted the cavalry's ability to adapt to the terrain.

The appearance of the horseshoe can allow the cavalry to adapt to many terrains, and the horse's hooves are no longer so easy to be injured during the charge, which can make the cavalry have a more durable ability to run.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 20,000 cavalry under Zhao Jia's fully armed cavalry at this time was the first elite cavalry in the true sense of Chinese history.

"The advent of stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes is bound to change the way countries fight in the future."

Zhao Jia looked at the arrow that shot at the target, and his heart suddenly became a little excited.

In this era, no one understands better than Zhao Jia how terrible it is to have a cavalry with three treasures on horseback.

In many cases, 20,000 elite cavalry may even determine the outcome of a major war.

The use of cavalry tactics in the Mengyuan period pushed the cavalry to the era of cold weapons, the peak of the army.

"I will use 20,000 cavalry to write history!"

Zhao Jia looked up at the sky, looking at the dazzling sun, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Childe, Mr. Fan is back!"

At this moment, the border city suddenly came on horseback, with a look of surprise on his face.

"The Tujun City has already been built?"

Zhao Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

The border city hurriedly replied: "With the support of Gongzi, Mr. Fan recruited a lot of manpower and material resources, and after half a year of construction, he finally built the Tujun City like an iron wall. ”

"Even if the Qin State sends 200,000 troops, it will not be easy to capture the Tujun City!"

Tujun Castle is located in the middle of the capital of Zhongyang and Puzi.

At that location, there is a mountain with an altitude of 1,600 meters, called Tongtian Mountain.

The Tujun City is a natural and steep fortress built according to the topography of Tongtian Mountain.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tongtian Mountain belonged to the junction of Bingzhou and Sili, and was the gateway to the north of Guanzhong, and its strategic location was extremely important.

It took Zhao Jia half a year and countless manpower and material resources to finally make this fortress unveiled ahead of schedule.

"Where is Zhao Bian!"

After the joy, Zhao Jia suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Zhao Bianyan hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "The end will be!" ”

Zhao Jia stared at Zhao Bian, his expression was extremely serious, and he shouted: "I will give you two thousand strong, according to the topography of Tongtian Mountain, if the Qin army comes to attack in the future, can you hold the fortress of the Turkish army?" ”

Zhao Wei held his head high and shouted: "If you can't hold it, come and see you!" ”

Zhao Jia shouted: "I don't want your head, as long as you can hold the Turkish army!" ”

"The last general swears to defend the Turkish army!"

"Then, you will requisition two thousand elites from the barracks, rush to the Turkish army city in advance, and be stationed there from now on."

"If you can stop the Qin army from attacking, you will be credited a lot!"

"Promise!"

After seeing Zhao Bian leave, Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Since getting the land of Shenqi as a fief, Zhao Jia can be said to have been sleepless day and night, always worried about the Qin army's attack.

Now that the Turkish army fortress has been built, the southern part of the land of Shenqi can be safe, and Zhao Jia is slightly relaxed.

"Sir, hasn't the construction been completed over there in Pingzhou?"

Li Si hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Although Captain Su Mo has also strengthened the Pingzhou city wall, the lack of money, food, and manpower has caused the progress of the Pingzhou fortress to be slow, and the construction has not yet been completed. ”

When Zhao Jia heard this, he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Over the years, Zhao Jia has used Tianxianglou and paper, and he doesn't know how much money he has made.

It's a pity that Zhao Jia also spends a lot.

He raised many craftsmen and customers, studied all kinds of things, bought grain and grass, made weapons, armor, stirrups, horseshoes, and even fed his army, etc., all kinds of expenses were very large.

In particular, the construction of the Turkish army fortress consumed a great deal of manpower and material resources.

In just half a year, all the wealth accumulated by Zhao Jia over the years was exhausted.

It was only at this time that Zhao Jia felt that his hands were stretched.

"The land of Shenqi is still under construction, whether it is to appease the people or for long-term development, if you want a process, if you want to be self-sufficient through fiefdoms, I am afraid it will have to wait until two or three years later."

Zhao Jia frowned and thought hard, but he no longer had the heart to stay in the school field, so Sima Shang trained the army by himself, but he returned home.

"Lang Jun, you're back."

As soon as Zhao Jia entered the door, he saw Yu Zhu supporting Mi Fu, who had a big belly, and the sadness on his face instantly dissipated, and there was a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.

At the beginning, Zhao Jia spared no effort to pursue Mifu, and he did have a strong purpose.

After the two really became husband and wife, Zhao Jia began to gradually forget his original intention, but began to be very affectionate with Mi Fu.

Mifu, who used to be willful and fantasizing, has become more and more sensible at this time, and there is no trace of those small problems at the beginning.

"Fu'er."

Zhao Jia called lightly, stepped forward to support Mifu, and the two sat on the big bluestone with each other's arms.

"Lang Jun, what do you say is the name of our child when it is born in the future?"

Qi Fu gently stroked her abdomen, looking at Zhao Jia, who was much tanned, her face showed the brilliance of motherhood.
