Lu Bu returned to the house, found two sheepskins and pen and ink, recalled the relevant knowledge of stirrups in his previous life, and depicted the appearance of stirrups on the sheepskin.

I plan to find a few craftsmen in the army to create a few first, and if it is really useful, then promote it to the cavalry, and then the combat power of the Golden Fire Cavalry will definitely be greatly improved.

"Bang"

At this time, Zhang Liao strode over, kicked Lu Bu's wooden door to pieces, and said angrily, "Lu Bu, I treat you like a brother, and I even handed over all the state troops to you to take care of, and you actually privately accepted Dong Zhuo to send gold, silver and BMW."

Lu Bu stood up, walked over to Zhang Liao, rolled his eyes, and quickly changed his words and explained, "General Ding Yuan and I have the grace of acquaintance, and Brother Wen Yuan trusts me so much, how could I do such a treacherous thing, but since Dong Thief sent us gold, silver and jewelry, Chitu BMW, I have no reason to refuse."

With these gold, silver and jewelry, we can raise a strong army and improve the food and equipment of our brothers, isn't it a beautiful thing? ”

Zhang Liao's face moved slightly, and he said with some doubts, "Then you don't plan to join Dong Zhuo?" ”

Lu Bu pressed Zhang Liao to the stool and said with a smile, "Dong Thief is ambitious, deceitful to the people, ruthless, and brings disaster to the country and the people, how can I take refuge in him, come and see what I just painted."

Zhang Liao took the sheepskin handed over by Lu Bu, looked at the pattern on it, and said with a puzzled expression, "What is this, why have I never seen it?" ”

"These two things are called saddles and stirrups, respectively."

"What's the use of this thing, it looks a little weird", Zhang Liao was a little puzzled.

"Our cavalry now has to ride on the backs of bare horses, grasping only the reins or mane, and clamping the belly of the horse with their legs so that they do not fall off when the horse gallops.

But it was easy to get tired from riding a horse for a long time in this way, and at the same time it was difficult to use a bow and arrow effectively on the back of a running horse, and in close combat, the cavalry could not use swords and spears as much as they wanted.

Slashing or stabbing misses, and the striking of both blades can cause the rider to slide off his horse at any time.

These two things are called saddles and stirrups, respectively.

The first is this saddle, which turns from flat to high at both ends, limiting the rider's body's tendency to slide back and forth, providing longitudinal stability.

The other was the stirrup, which provided lateral stability by fixing the feet and at the same time uniting the man and the horse with the assistance of the saddle, making it possible for the cavalry to use the speed of the horse to make a frontal assault without easily falling off the horse.

With these two things, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry will be greatly improved, and the cavalry's chopping ability will be greatly improved.

Listening to Lu Bu's description, Zhang Liao's face showed an extremely shocked expression, for hundreds of years, every cavalryman knew about these problems.

However, no one has been able to find a solution, and now the cavalry is far inferior to the down-to-earth infantry in addition to the speed advantage, so after the cavalry arrives at the destination, it often dismounts as infantry and puts it into the battlefield.

I didn't expect Lu Bu to think of such a perfect method, and said in a slightly shocked tone, "This, is this really so effective?" ”

Lu Bu smiled and slapped the two cowhides into Zhang Liao's hands, "It doesn't matter if you find a few reliable blacksmiths to build a few and give it a try, remember not to leak the drawings and craftsmanship, we finally found a way to improve the cavalry, if it leaks out, we will not have this advantage."

Zhang Liao understood Lu Bu's words very well, and said in an excited tone, "Okay, I'll go and create a few paintings myself to give them a try."

Lu Bu yawned, "Okay, then you can do it yourself, it's going to be dawn soon, I have to sleep first."

Zhang Liao responded, "Then Feng will rest early, and I will go to build."

With parchment in hand, he strode towards the blacksmith.

Lu Bu stood and wandered in place for a while, and then lay directly on the wooden bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Liao ran over several times with excitement on his face, and saw that Lu Bu had been sleeping, so he didn't bother, but ordered someone to prepare hot water and meals for washing in advance.

Until noon, the soldiers were practicing on the school grounds, and shouts of killing rose to the sky.

The sun shone through the window on the wooden bed, and Lu Bu woke up in a daze, looking at the hot water and food prepared on the table.

After washing his face, he took a big bite of his meal.

After a few bites, Zhang Liao ran in with grinning teeth, wrapped something in his hand, and broke in directly, "Feng Xian, Feng Xian, I heard that you woke up."

Lu Bu sandwiched a piece of pork belly, and said in a flat tone, "Dripping water through stones, it's not a day's work, there's no need to be in such a hurry, come, sit down and eat something first, and we'll talk about business after eating."

Zhang Liao was also busy all night and never ate.

When Lu Bu spoke, he could only sit down and put the package in his hand on his lap, for fear of being stolen by others.

Gulping down his meal.

"How about the effect of stirrups and saddles", Lu Bu said with great satisfaction after eating.

Zhang Liao took out the saddle and stirrup he had just built from his arms with an excited face, although the appearance was a little ugly, but it had begun to take shape.

"Fengxian, you are really a genius, I built a few pairs overnight, and tried them myself, these two things are matched with the war horse, it is simply a perfect match, not only is it not easy to fall off the war horse.

And the strength has also been saved a lot, I can even stand up and fight with the enemy generals, to a large extent, improve the combat ability of the cavalry, with this thing, I dare to guarantee that our cavalry can at least one enemy two, whether it is the speed of impact, or the attack power, there is a very breakthrough."

Lu Bu nodded with great satisfaction, "Well, it shouldn't be long before Dong Zhuo and the others will attack the county again."

Now that the plan has been decided, you should quickly find a group of craftsmen to give priority to the cavalry under our command, and let them understand and familiarize themselves with it first, and as for the saddle and stirrup you just brought, stay here for now, I will be useful."

Zhang Liao answered, and then quickly went down to make arrangements.

Lu Bu came to the stable, and Luo Cheng was personally feeding Lu Bu's Red Rabbit BMW and Sweat and Blood BMW.

With some joy on his face, he said, "Master, I heard that you didn't rest all night last night, why did you wake up so quickly."

Lu Bu moved his muscles and bones, and then touched Luo Cheng's head, "I've slept enough, come and take a look at this guy."

Luo Cheng's eyes fell on the red rabbit horse, "Master, these two horses are really divine horses, all of them are sweaty and bloody horses, especially this red rabbit horse with a fiery red body, with a very strong temperament, and four hooves are also very strong and powerful, at least they can travel a thousand miles a day."

Lu Bu gently stroked the forehead of the red rabbit BMW, and fed him some beans with his own hands, "Cheng'er is really knowledgeable, this red rabbit horse is the king of horses, and it is too suitable to use it to kill the enemy."

"Didn't I say I was going to give you an apprenticeship gift before, and now that I have this Red Rabbit BMW, how about giving you this bloody BMW", Lu Bu said.

Luo Cheng's face moved slightly, and he said with some shock on his face, "Is what the master said true?" This is Xiliang's sweat and blood BMW, and it is priceless."

"What I, Lu Bu, said, how can I go back on my word, from today onwards, this bloody horse is yours, you can practice your hands first, and then you can ride it into battle to kill the enemy in the future", Lu Bu said.

Luo Chengcheng was like a child, grinning non-stop, stroking the forehead of the sweaty BMW very fondly, and then jumped on the horse's back, pulled the reins, and his body instantly bounced out, it seems that the horseback riding skills are also good on weekdays.
