Takahashi's saddle served to hold the knight in place vertically, making it possible for the knight to draw the bow in front of him, or to stab him with a weapon in the front. But the knight still has no easy force to the sides. Imagine a person standing on the ground to attack the side, then the legs are best separated in a lunge, which side to attack, then the legs and feet on the same side will be forced, and at the same time give the ground a force to kick down, if the ground is stable, then the move is safe, if the ground is soft, you can't exert force at all.

But the cavalry is on horseback, the feet are empty, there is no ground to step on, and all the force has to fall on the calf, and you have to rely on the calf to clamp the horse's belly tightly - this force is too difficult, you have to rely on no longer the driving force, but the friction. So with the advancement of time, the stirrup finally came into being.

The stirrup can hold the rider from the side - although it is not as long fixed as the Takahashi saddle, as we said earlier, stepping on the stirrup all the time will turn the butt upside down, but when you need to exert force laterally, the role of the stirrup is immediately highlighted. At that time, as soon as Tai Shici saw the stirrup, he thought this thing was useful, why? Because when there is no stirrup, even if you shoot to the side, you must first pull the bow and arrow on the longitudinal arc, and then twist the waist, but with the stirrup, you can use the power of the stirrup to directly draw the bow sideways and aim, or even directly twist the waist and shoot reflexively.

It's the same with side grappling. Stepping on the stirrup is the same as stepping on the ground, and it is convenient to transfer the force to the saddle bridge through the stirrup rope, although it is still not as good as really stepping on the flat ground, after all, it is much more energetic than just holding the horse's belly with the calf.

Who invented the stirrup and when it was invented, there is no unified statement in the academic community. However, the earliest pair of hard stirrups (rather than soft covers to help get on and off the horse) found by archaeology is from the western Liaoning region of China, and can be found in the tomb of Feng Sufu, the general of the Northern Yan Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Combined with the literature, it is more reliable to say that no later than the late fourth century, stirrups appeared in the northeast of China at the latest, and the inventor was either Xianbei or Goguryeo.

Of course, now that history has changed, it is Hoon who has crossed over and revealed the stirrups two hundred years in advance. The first person to use stirrups in this life must be Xun himself, the second is to look interesting but don't understand the real benefits of the family is Jun, and the third is Taishi Ziyi. Tai Shi Ci has not played stirrups for a day or two, he has already figured out the performance of stirrups thoroughly, although he did not give up the two-handed long weapon and switch to one-handed weapons, but the one-handed weapon can play a great effect on horseback through the stirrup, then he is a door!

So today, when he was at a disadvantage, he instinctively drew the knife out of the sheath, and then stepped on the stirrup with one foot, taking advantage of the situation to slash down with a knife on the head. Sun Ce held the halberd with both hands to block, and felt a great force coming from the halberd rod - if it was on flat ground, this level of attack would be difficult for him, but at this time it was on the back of the horse, and the force was penetrating, he couldn't hold the horse's belly at all, and he couldn't help but "ahh

If Sun Ce took advantage of the situation to take the initiative to slip off the horse's back and unload the opponent's brute force, he might not be injured - how high the horse's back was. But Sun Ce first pushed upwards and was smashed off the horse's back, but Tai Shici's strength, coupled with the reaction force caused by Sun Ce's counterattack, all fell on him, and with a "bang", he hit the ground with his back, and he almost didn't break his spine. At that moment, the halberd also flew out of his hand, and the person hummed and couldn't move, and even his brain began to be confused-

Have I tried his strength? Why did it suddenly become so big, like smashing me on the ground...... Could it be that this kid secretly kept a hand?!

If in the past, the enemy will fall off the horse, there will be small soldiers rushing up, holding down, seeing that the surrounding situation is better, they will tie it with a rope, and the surrounding situation is not very good, and they are afraid of being snatched back by the other party, so they will cut off their heads directly. Therefore, in the melee, the generals cannot fall off the horse, and at least half of the chance of falling off the horse is over. But now there are only three people present, and Shi Xun has no consciousness of being a small soldier, and he can't hold Sun Ce down at all. Or if Tai Shici still had the horse lance in his hand, he would be able to make up for it and directly take Sun Ce's life, but now he only has the ring head knife in his hand, and when he rides on a horse, the tip of the knife can't reach the ground at all.

Of course, Tai Shici didn't plan to kill Sun Ce yet. Although the two sides have only seen each other for six or seven rounds, he has already noticed that the opponent's strength, equestrian and equipment skills are similar to his own - this kid looks like he is not as tall as himself, and he is at least five years younger than himself, and he can fight with him equally, is he learning martial arts since his mother's womb? Or is his talent going to be a cut above his boss? Taishi Ziyi couldn't help but feel sorry for each other, he planned to jump off the horse, first restrained Sun Ce with a knife, and then asked about the other party's origin - I don't want Yuan Shu to have such a general!

But just as he was about to dismount, he suddenly froze and listened. Sure enough, it was not his own hallucination, nor was it the sound of the wind, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it seemed that more than three or five horsemen were galloping. At this time, Shi Xun also heard it, and he guessed that it must be Sun Ce's slave rider, maybe there are some Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zhou Tai in the middle...... No, Zhou Youping probably hadn't joined the revolutionary ranks at this time. He knew that the situation was not good, that a good man was difficult to defeat with four hands, and that Guangtai Shi Ci could not fight against so many fierce generals, so he hurriedly used both hands and feet, climbed out of the ditch, and ran over to Sun Ce's reins: "Hurry up!" ”

Shi Xun is used to riding stirrups for a while, and Sun Ce's mount is very tall, he pulls the saddle bridge with both hands, kicks his legs, and then ...... And it slid down again. Tai Shici took a look and hurriedly dismounted: "You ride mine." ”

Between the famous general and the war horse, there was an emotional exchange, and I don't know what kind of greeting Lu Dao Tai Shi Ci said to his mount, it was Xun who stepped up to get up, and the horse immediately ran up, it was fast and steady, and he didn't lose his temper at all. Sun Ce's mount didn't have anyone to say hello, and he still wanted to be hairy, but Taishi Zi couldn't help but be strong, facing upwards, and strangled the reins hard, and the horse neighed angrily twice, and when he felt that it was really tight, he was a good man...... The good horse didn't suffer the immediate loss, and temporarily served him.

The two of them ran three or four miles straight to the north, and there was no sound behind them—it is estimated that Cheng Pu and they were all busy rescuing Sun Ce—and then they slowly slowed down. Shi Xun immediately clenched his fists: "Thanks to Ziyi's arrival, he saved my life, otherwise, I would have died in Lumen Pavilion today!" ”

Tai Shici asked him, didn't you go to Cao Ying to deliver grain? How do you become alone and being chased by others? Shi Xun was embarrassed to say that he fled first when he encountered the enemy, just saying that the enemy army was strong, and they were all cavalry, and he fought with them for a few rounds, and his subordinates died and scattered, so he had to leave in the wilderness.

Tai Shi Ci asked again: "Shicai will claim to be Wuzhong Sun Bofu, can Hongfu know this person?" Shixun replied: "He is the son of Sun Wentai, the general of the late Broken Prisoner." Tai Shi Ci nodded again and again: "Tiger father and tiger son, sure enough!" ”

After the two said goodbye to each other, Tai Shici asked Shixun what to do next. Yes Xun said that I had lost all my food, and Cao Ying didn't dare to go, so I had to return to Chengyang County first. Tai Shici said, otherwise, you can collect another batch of grain and grass from Chengyang, and I will help you escort it to the front line this time. Shi Xun shook his head: "Although Ziyi is brave, but Chengyang has no available soldiers, if you meet Sun Ce again, you alone will be difficult to defeat four hands, wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”

Tai Shi Ci "Ha Lu Ha" laughed, and explained in detail to Shi Xun the situation of the battle, and finally said, today is the armor is not ready, and I am dressed neatly on another day, and I am trying to find that Sun Ce to fight again, which is higher than winning or losing. Shi Xun glanced at him, and said in his heart that if you want Sun Ce's kind of fish scale armor, I really may not be able to help you buy it, you have to wear leather armor, it is estimated that you are still not his opponent.

The two walked for a while, dismounted and rested. Shi Xun is a cheap person who does not take advantage of people, so he hurriedly went to the saddle bag of Sun Ce's mount, but only found him a good bow, a pot of good arrows, and the rest of the replacement clothes, dry food, drinking water, and a few hundred dollars, which are all the same as nothing. Shi Xun couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart: "You are a general's son, why don't you know that Lu Dao has more gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, agate, checks, VISA, or something in your bag?" ”

In anger, he took Sun Ce's water and dry food, and chewed it all over the place—Tai Shici also took some and ate it. After the rest was over, the two got back on their horses, galloped out of more than 400 miles in half a day and a night, and the next day it was dawn and entered the territory of Dingtao. Yes Xun said that I lost the food, so I have to go and say hello to Cao Taishou, let's go to Dingtao City first.

Seeing that the city was in sight in the distance, Tai Shici put his hand on the awning, and couldn't help but say "Huh". Shi Xun asked him what was wrong, and Tai Shici asked, saying that when I came through Dingtao County, I saw that the city was full of red flags, why was it that in just two days, all the cities had become black flags?

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the saying of Wei Wei prevailed, according to the order of the five virtues, the set virtue is fire virtue, and the auspicious color is ochre. In addition, the former Han Dynasty once prevailed in the Tude saying that the yellow flag color was used, so it is not surprising that the red flag and yellow flag were played on the Han City. Of course, this kind of official unified color is generally used on important occasions on behalf of the emperor or the country, and how people like to play is his own business, and there are no hard and fast rules. But Cao De is used to playing the red flag on Dingtao City, this matter is Xun is knowing, what happened, so that he has to "brush and brush" to change the color of the flag?

He didn't see the strength of Tai Shi Ci as good, he couldn't see the color of the flag at all, he was staring at it with wide eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, so he heard Tai Shi Ci say again: "There is also a calligraphy of the flag, with very few strokes, not like 'Cao' or 'Han'...... Well, it seems to be a 'Lu' word......"

As soon as he heard this, he felt that a whole basin of cold water was poured on his head!
