"The officers and troops of Zhanxian County have a certain cavalry advantage, and their scout cavalry often penetrates deep into the hinterland of our army to attack and harass, while the cavalry of our army cannot be compared with the officers and troops who can recruit the Southern Xiongnu tribes in terms of quantity and quality." Beside Zhao Hong, military adviser Ma Yao looked around hard, as if he wanted to see the surrounding situation clearly, but in the world of wind and snow, a layer of fog was shrouded hundreds of meters away, and Ma Yao had to give up this effort.

Then Ma Yao hugged his fist at Zhao Hong, and he said to several officers, including Zhao Hong, with a serious face.

"Since our army only has three war horses, it is really powerless to block the approach and penetration of the enemy's cavalry, not to mention that our army does not have a home field advantage in such a junction area, so here we may encounter a surprise attack by the cavalry of the county at any time."

Apparently in the desert, Crassus's legion was wiped out by the Parthian cavalry, leaving a severe psychological shadow on Ma Yao's ancestors, which has been passed down from generation to generation, even after hundreds of years.

The first thing that the descendants of the Roman soldiers consider is the cavalry angle, Ma Yao's riding skills are also very good, Zhao Hong estimates that it is also related to this, it is really a snake bite for a year, and a fear of well ropes for ten years, which is hundreds of years past and there are still shadows.

Zhao Hong was secretly thinking while observing the Impressionist map. This map is indeed very freehand.

"Brother Hong, then let's go back along the footprints!" Liu Song, who was on the side, took two steps and suggested. His suggestion was immediately echoed by almost all the officers. The unanimous opinion of his subordinates suddenly brought a lot of pressure to Zhao Hong, which was inconsistent with Zhao Hong's original plan, according to his original plan, he could best encounter a small group of enemy troops and destroy it by the way, so that the sons and daughters who had been trained for almost two months could see blood. After all, Emperor Taizongwen in the previous life affirmed that time is the only criterion for testing the truth.

Zhao Hong, who stroked his forehead with his hand, raised his head suddenly, "The soldiers are tired, in this state now, if you encounter an enemy army, you must first find a village or post station to bury the pot and make rice, rest and recuperate to restore combat effectiveness, and then withdraw the army." Zhao Hong said in a categorical tone, and then he stared at Cao Peng with his eyes.

"No!" Cao Peng, who answered loudly in a loud voice, turned around and ran towards the war horse. Zhao Hong looked at the war horse that was a little restless in the wind and snow. This traditional Mongolian horse in Chinese mainland is indeed not as tall and mighty as the Arabian, and the Mongolian horse is indeed not very good. Compared to the tall and mighty Arabian horses, the Mongol horse was like a donkey, but it was on this donkey that Temujin conquered Eurasia. Of course, the equipment under objective conditions is very important, but in the end, it must be implemented by the people themselves, because after all, weapons and equipment are for people, not for people.

The leather-textured stirrups next to the war horse were also shaking at this time, like a wind chime swaying in the breeze. Looking at this stirrup made of leather strips, Zhao Hong remembered that he saw in his previous life that the protagonist invented the stirrup in the novel of the Three Kingdoms and was shocked by other gods, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Although the earliest metal stirrups were discovered in the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhao Hong estimated that the stirrups from the grassland cortex in the middle of the Warring States period at the latest were already available, not to mention the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the stirrups, the Greek noble cavalry wouldn't have had to tie their bodies to their horses during Alexander's crusade. It is estimated that the Zhao Guohu costume riding and archery sports are mainly learned by the nomads of the stirrups and saddles. Without the necessary equipment such as stirrups and saddles, the cavalry could shoot arrows on bare horses, engage in auxiliary work such as reconnaissance, and it was difficult to even attack the infantry, let alone fight each other on horseback. The people of the Spring and Autumn Period were not stupid, if there was no technological innovation, how could they not have found that the cavalry was so powerful?

Zhao Hong remembered that Chen Shou recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that Guan Yu, who was holding a horse lance, stabbed Yan Liang down in the midst of ten thousand troops. It's unimaginable that Guan Yu rode a horse without pedaling to rush into the army, and he could still stab Yan Liang down with a horse lance, and Guan Yu could still survive after stabbing down? Zhao Hong dared to say that without stirrups, Guan Yu, who was holding a horse lance in a high-speed gallop, would stab Yan Liang and fall while he was hit by heavy reaction force. Falling from a war horse among the hosts, and surviving intact, that is really a good man of the Ninth World.

……

The wind and snow gradually decreased, which allowed people's horizons to expand.

"Brother Hong, let's go and investigate again." Cao Peng, who looked a little guilty, hugged his fist at Zhao Hong, then turned around and strode towards the war horse. Just as Cao Peng stepped into the stirrup with one foot, pulling the reins with one hand and flipping the back of the horse with the other hand, intending to get on the horse, Ma Yao, who was better riding, was already holding the reins with both hands at this time. The two of them then whipped off and disappeared into the shadows of the dead branches in the woods。。。。。。

After a while, with the sound of horses' hooves, two war horses rushed towards the woods, and as the figures of the war horses and the knights on the horses became larger and larger, they were indeed Cao Peng and Ma Yao, who went to investigate. Zhao Hong, who was looking forward to it, stepped forward.

"Brother Hong." Cao Peng, who was at the front, flipped off his horse, "We saw smoke rising from the south. When I got to the vicinity, I saw that it was a village, about five miles away. Cao Peng looked excited, and the horsewhip in his hand was also shaking, "The village is not too small. You can drink hot soup in no time. Cao Peng said while his eyes were shining with gold, staring at Zhao Hong intently, as if what was in front of him was not a big living person, but a delicious hot soup, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Zhao Hong, who was a little relieved, glanced at Ma Yao behind Cao Peng, and Ma Yao, who was standing with his hands in his hands, nodded slightly.

"Big brother, the brothers are tired. Since there is a village in front of us, let everyone go in and rest. Seeing this, Wang Ming, who was on the side, suggested to Zhao Hong. Okay, let everyone pack up and head to the village. Zhao Hong agreed with Wang Ming's proposal.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers and the townspeople, the packed ranks left the woods and began to march in the direction of the village. Lying in front of everyone is a hill more than 30 zhang high and hundreds of zhang wide, on which dense deciduous trees and shrubs grow, but in winter they are all bare, only the branches of the hills stretch out randomly.

Obscured by the hills, the team quickly skirted the hills along the dirt road, and suddenly a village surrounded by yellow earthen walls came into view......
