The next day, Alexander summoned Arestonos to the royal cavalry camp, and the royal cavalry could not help but be surprised to see the king come to the barracks, because the king was still young, and he usually lived in seclusion, and rarely left the palace, let alone the barracks! But in addition to the shock to them, it was more of a sense of honor for the royal cavalry, the king personally inspected, and the soldiers certainly felt honored, although the other party was still just a child, but they still lined up neatly, ready to receive the king's lecture. Alexander was very happy to see www.biquge.info army's appearance, but he was also a little embarrassed, he had come to teach everyone the techniques of stirrups and saddles, and Alexander was greatly moved to see the soldiers attach so much importance to himself.

"Brethren! I am glad to see you in good spirits, you are all nobles from all over Macedonia, you are the best cavalry in Macedonia, and the best cavalry in the world, and many of you are the elders who followed my father in the conquest of the East. I'm so proud of you, and one day, I'll lead you to the world! ”

"I'm here today to improve the scientific and technological content of the cavalry, you may not understand what I'm saying, but soon, I will let everyone know that the power of the cavalry is not only the current level, the tactical use of the cavalry is actually a lot more, as long as I modify it slightly, its power will become stronger, not only can harass, pursue, but also carry out hand-to-hand combat, long-distance running and even direct impact on the infantry phalanx."

Alexander's high-pitched voice surprised the soldiers, but what he said shocked the crowd even more, and some began to whisper. Even Arestonos was a little skeptical of Alexander's words, yesterday he was a child who couldn't even ride a horse, although Pegasus listened to him, but how could he make the cavalry like he said? Arestonos shook his head.

Alexander was very considerate of everyone's doubts, so he said no more, and asked Yabris to bring the king's horse, Pegasus, over. Then he said to them, "What is the difference between him and your horse?" ”

"The king's horses are carefully selected and good, much better than ours." A soldier said.

"I'm not talking about that, look at how they're dressed."

At this time, Arestonos seemed to realize something, and hurriedly came to Pegasus and said, "Did the king mean these things on the horse's back?" ”

"Not bad!"

"So what's the use of it?"

"It's very useful." After saying that, Alexander walked over to a soldier: "What's your name?" ”

"Agaso, Your Majesty!"

"You can ride it and try it."

"My subordinates are terrified, Your Majesty, I am just a soldier, how can I trespass on your imperial horse!"

"Agaso, you don't have to care, for to me Pegasus is not only a horse, but also my friend, and you are not only my courtier, but also my brother. In fact, I have always advocated equality, although the status is noble and low, but the personality is not noble and low, everyone is loyal to me, but you don't have to treat yourself as a slave, the horse is originally used to ride, so what does it matter if you go to ride it once? ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll give it a try."

"These two rings are for stepping on, and you step on them with your left foot, and you can get on the horse with the help of the power to see if it's easier." Alexander approached Pegasus, as if to comfort it, and it seemed to realize something.

"Okay!" After saying that, Agaso turned over and got on the horse, and everyone saw that such a tall horse could not help but go up at once, and they couldn't help but admire. Agaso blushed a little, in the past, he had to jump to get on the horse, let alone such a tall horse, but just now he basically didn't use any force, stepped on the iron ring, and supported himself with the support of his left foot alone.

Agaso was on his horse, and Alexander began to explain: "Did you see it? This is the stirrup, the rider only needs to step on it, a little hard to kick on the horse, that is to say, we move the support point of the body from the ground to this stirrup, and on the stirrup we only need to step on the right foot to sit on the horse, but in the past, we had to jump up from the ground to ride on the horse, not to mention the effort is not easy to complete at one time. People say, is this design of mine good? ”…,

"Good-good-good!" The soldiers raised their rifles with each shout.

Seeing that everyone was very cooperative, Alexander began to explain again.

"Agaso, do you think the feeling of riding on it is any different than usual?"

"It seems to be softer, and it's a little more elastic."

"Yes, it's called a saddle, and we usually put a piece of animal skin on the horse's back when we usually ride a horse, and the animal skin certainly makes people look noble and imposing, but it is expensive and inelastic, and our buttocks will suffer a lot when we travel in bumpy places, and the thin layer is very poor, and it will hurt if we don't get it right." As Alexander spoke, he observed the reactions of the crowd, and the soldiers became more and more surprised and curious, and at the end of the day, everyone burst into laughter.

"However, this saddle is different, it is fastened to the horse's back with a rope, and it is thicker, which can adapt to all kinds of terrain, and can effectively absorb when jumping from high to low."

"Agaso, you go to the racetrack and try it!"

"Yes!" With that, Agaso ran out with a puff of smoke.

Everyone watched him quietly, and he rose and fell on horseback quite heavily, but his appearance was obviously very steady, and then he simply stood up with his feet on the stirrups. Everyone gasped.

The lap was quickly finished, and Agaso returned to his place, and as soon as the reins were pulled, the horse stopped, and with his left foot in the stirrup, he easily rolled over. Without waiting for the soldiers to start asking. Alexander asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is amazing, you are a great inventor, this invention will bring earth-shaking changes to the cavalry, with this stirrup, my feet have support, I sway from side to side easily, I don't worry about falling at all, this saddle is also very comfortable, with it I can ride on the horse all day and night without feeling the pain in the buttocks, I can even engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on the horse, the opponent can easily dodge with a shot, and I am not difficult to wield the gun with both hands, Because I have support on my feet, and since the middle of the saddle is concave, I don't slip back easily. ”

"I think the effect of the harness I designed has been explained very clearly, and everyone will have more experience in the future in combat. However, I would like to remind you that one of the drawbacks of stirrups is that if you fall off a horse, you may be dragged to death due to your feet being hooked, so this is a very important point to be aware of. I believe that the cavalry units I have formed will be invincible in the wars to come. I will inherit my father's will to conquer the world, let the Greek civilization dispel all barbarism and backwardness, and establish a world of great harmony, Zeus is with me! ”

Alexander's advanced design changed the original trajectory of history, and due to the introduction of advanced harness such as stirrups, the Macedonian cavalry became more functional and powerful. In the future, Alexander will lead them to battle in all directions, and they will be invincible.
