Stirrups, when riding a horse, the feet are covered inside, stepping on the stirrup, so that the feet do not hang in the air, psychologically increase the sense of security of the rider. With stirrups, knights in war can use the strength of their upper legs. If necessary, you can even stand up with your stirrups on your horsetail and deliver a fatal blow to your enemies with all your strength!

With stirrups, the knights' hands can be freed up and more energy can be devoted to battle.

Horseshoes are equivalent to wearing a pair of iron shoes for horses, which makes the horses more adaptable to road conditions, and will not be afraid of hard stones or knives and guns all over the ground, which can greatly reduce the loss of horses in the war, and secondly, make the horse's load capacity larger.

The Takahashi saddle, with its front and back tilted and concave structure in the middle, makes it easier for the rider to get stuck in the saddle and stabilize the body. With stirrups, it is no longer difficult to ride a horse, and it is no longer difficult to practice more superb riding skills!

As a traverser, how could Tian Fan not know the great role of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes? With these three things, the combat ability of the cavalry can be increased by at least 30%, and the difficulty of training can be reduced by at least half!

In fact, when he first came to this world and rode a horse for the first time, he once thought about "inventing" these three things!

But instead of doing so, he chose to offer these three treasures now.

As for the reason, to put it bluntly, it is worry!

The structure of these three things is not complicated, it is easy to manufacture, and it is easy to be learned by the enemy in the current situation when the sense of secrecy is not strong. Once it is learned by the enemy, then Xuzhou will be unlucky!

When Liu Bei had just taken over Xuzhou, the entire Xuzhou army had only 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 horses. If you dedicate three things to Liu Bei at that time, although you can let the Xuzhou army achieve a certain victory, it won't be long before others master these things, then Xuzhou will start to be unlucky!

After several years of development, the number of cavalry in Xuzhou has reached 18,000 and more than 30,000 war horses. Compared with the surrounding princes, except for Yuan Shao in the north, the rest of the people can compare.

At this time, equipping the cavalry with these things, with the current sense of secrecy in Xuzhou, unless there is a big war, it is not very likely that these secrets will be leaked. What's more, after the invention of crucible steelmaking, the weapons of the Xuzhou army faced a large-scale replacement, although this replacement may take two or three years to complete, but it will be preferentially allocated to the three main cavalry battalions.

At that time, even if the opposing cavalry had horseshoes, stirrups and Takahashi saddles, the huge difference in weapons and armor was enough to make the Xuzhou cavalry invincible!

And this difference in equipment is irreparable by the other party! Without Li Liang, they couldn't make a crucible, and without Pu Yuan, they couldn't master the crucible steelmaking technology, and they couldn't create comparable weapons and armor.

That's why Tian Fan will dedicate these three things!

More than ten days later, three pieces of equipment were researched, and several ordinary war horses were equipped. The generals' war horses are all good horses, and at the moment when these three types of equipment have just been produced, it is okay for them to equip Takahashi saddles and stirrups, and they will never equip horseshoes. The horse's hooves are the most critical part of the horse, if the horse's hooves are cracked, then the horse will have to cultivate for at least three or four months before it can be used again, how can these generals be willing to do so?

On this day, Liu Bei took the main strategists in the army and the infantry generals in the Xiapi camp to watch a unique competition. The two sides of the competition are one for Pound and the other for Cheng Lian. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers who don't know the inside story, this is a competition without the slightest suspense. Pang De's martial arts are directly chasing Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and he is much stronger than Cheng Lian. Under normal circumstances, if you don't use thirty rounds, Cheng Lian will lose. …,

But the truth is always unexpected, in less than ten rounds, Pang De was defeated, and he was directly knocked away by Cheng Lian, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and didn't get up for half a day!

The soldiers who didn't know the inside story were surprised, and the audience such as Liu Bei, Tian Fan, Lu Su, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu, who knew the inside story, were very excited. Even after the defeat, Pound, who got up in embarrassment and didn't have time to scrub the mud, laughed happily!

Through this anticlimactic competition, everyone realized the benefits of saddles and stirrups, and naturally couldn't wait to change the clothes of all the cavalry.

And another experiment has also attracted the attention of many people! Cao Xing rode a horse, and on the ground full of knives and guns, he ran happily. If everyone didn't know Cao Xing's identity, I was afraid that the soldiers around him would scold him.

The soldiers had infinite sympathy for the battered horse, and what appeared in their hearts was the pitiful appearance of the horse not even daring to walk after the horse's four hooves were injured! It's cruel, it's cruel!

But a strange thing happened, after the horse ran a few laps, it still did not look injured in the slightest, and still ran happily, while running, shaking its head and tail, as if enjoying this state very much.

This scene surprised everyone and felt extremely strange, but they were puzzled, but they couldn't think of the mystery.

Liu Bei and the others were even more excited when they saw it! Facts have proved that Tian Fan has made three inventions very well, how can they not be excited?

Liu Bei immediately ordered that the war horses in the Xiapi camp should be equipped with these three pieces of equipment within half a year. The scattered cavalry in the rest of the country may encounter battle, so when the craftsmen in the craftsman camp are skilled, they will be given priority equipment.

As a result, the craftsmen in the carpenter area of the craftsman camp suddenly received a lot of work! Originally, the development of the waterwheel was nearing completion, and the carpenter's district was faced with a huge amount of waterwheel manufacturing work that was about to start, and at this moment, they were suddenly too busy!

Tian Fan's mind turned, and he muttered to Liu Bei for a long time, and helped his furniture and woodware workshop apply for a big business, responsible for the production of nearly 20,000 pairs of Gaoqiao saddles. Tian Fan was overjoyed in his heart, wahahaha, I made money and made money, but I don't know how to spend it!

In late February, the development of the waterwheel was completed. In order to allow all parts of Xuzhou to immediately use this drought-fighting weapon, Ma Jun and others drew many drawings, and selected nearly 400 craftsmen who were completely trustworthy and had sufficient level from the carpenter area of the second battalion of craftsmen, and asked them to go to various places to supervise the construction of waterwheels with Liu Bei's order. Each of them went to a different location, and each supervised the construction of ten or twenty waterwheels. Liu Bei's order required the local government to fully assist and complete the construction of all waterwheels within 20 days.

Although these waterwheels cannot fully compensate for the lack of water caused by the drought, they can greatly alleviate the drought and prevent the worsening drought from causing Xuzhou to lose its harvest.

And after these waterwheels are completed, the craftsmen still can't come back. Their mission is to train the local population on how to use and maintain the water wheels.

One day in March, Tian Fan was busy working in the craftsman camp for a morning, and when he was having lunch, he suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Zhao Yun to talk about the combat ideas of the Feiyu Battalion today, so he hurriedly gave a few orders, and rushed to the camp with Shi A and Old Man Tang, two personal bodyguards.

The camp is closed today, there is no training mission, although only a few soldiers are allowed to go out of the camp every time, but they are not restricted from playing and frolicking in the camp.

At this time, the camp was filled with laughter. The soldiers had already finished their lunch, and most of them were playing around on the school grounds. Military life is boring, so they cherish this rare opportunity to relax. However, some people cherish the way they relax time, but it makes Tian Fan feel very fucked! …,

For example, Ko Yi's subordinates first went to the camp to make the king of cakes, and he was running on the rugby field with a group of people. On his side, the main force was the Qiao soldiers in the camp first, and the other party was Zhang Fei's personal guard, of which Yan Qi was the main force.

The two groups of people are fighting for each other, running all over the field, and from time to time someone falls to the ground, or is pulled by the opponent, and even many people pile on the wall and roll together. The surrounding audience is naturally also soldiers, one by one puffing out their cheeks and shouting, cheering for the team they support. Seeing that his own people scored, they screamed excitedly, and their eyes were red. If the other party scores, they sigh one by one, like mourning. Once you see someone fouling, before the referee blows the whistle, countless spectators will scold!

No, when Tian Fan passed by here, he happened to hear the noisy scolding, among these scoldings, there was a voice that was particularly loud, and he only heard him scolding: "Foul, foul, referee, referee, blind your dog's eyes?" Such an obvious foul, why not blow the whistle? ”

Hearing this voice, Tian Fan couldn't help but be stunned! Why is this whisper so familiar?

Following the prestige, I saw a white dragon horse with an abnormal horse standing in the outer circle, and on the saddle of the high bridge that had just been used, there was a person standing, and this voice was made by that person!

However, it turned out that there were no spectator seats in this improvised court, and the spectators in the inner circle sat on the ground, squatting a little outside, and then standing on the outside, and the outermost was to find some benches or boulders and other pads. Recently, as many horses in the army have been saddled with Takahashi, there has just been a perception that this is the one who stands on the back of the horse.

Of course, there are still a few people who can watch the game like this. First, it requires people to react quickly and have strong balance, and secondly, the horses have to stand still obediently. It's a little hard for people, and it's a little hard for horses.

Tian Fan looked at the background of that person, how did he look like Zhao Yun! This guy didn't wear armor today, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

Feeling the gaze behind him, as soon as the man turned around, Tian Fan thought to himself, Damn, it's really Zhao Yun!

When Zhao Yun saw Tian Fan, he was also a little twisted! was seen by Tian Fan when he burst into foul language, which was a little awkward. He said something to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers standing on horseback listened to it and hurriedly caught the reins of the horse in Zhao Yun's hand. However, his eyes were still on the playing field, and he had no intention of following Zhao Yun.

Tian Fan was stunned, in this era, are there really such crazy fans?

Zhao Yun had already jumped off his war horse and strode towards Tian Fan.

After the two saluted, Tian Fan said: "Zilong, why is the rugby game in the army so crazy?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled and explained: "Boguang, you are a young man in the army, so naturally you don't know much about it!" The army is boring, and most of the officers and soldiers can't go out during the holidays, so they naturally have to vent their excess energy. It is now rumored in the army that there is no father and son in the arena! At present, several games are held in the military during each holiday, and the position to watch the games is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you get up late and don't get a good position, even if you are a general, the soldier will not give you a good position, and you can only stand on a war horse and watch like me. Moreover, on the field, even a soldier can still grab the ball from the general without any scruples. And the generals, in order to get along with the brethren, not only do not blame, but encourage them, and they often participate in competitions. ”

As if thinking of something funny, he suddenly laughed and said, "Last time, Yide was accidentally thrown to the ground by the king cake in the camp first, and he didn't get up for a long time, which made the brothers excited for several days. Hahaha, now that I think about it, I still think it's funny! ”

Tian Fan was stunned, Wang Da Cake was amazing, he had known it for a long time, but he didn't want to be so powerful, "This Wang Da Cake is so powerful?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "All the main generals in the army have basically suffered his losses!" Fengxian, Zhengqing, and Lao Koji were all pounced on by him, and once, thanks to my quick reaction, otherwise he would have been pounced on the ground! This guy is now a star in the Xiapi camp, hehe. ”

Tian Fan also smiled, he nodded, thinking that watching these high-ranking generals on weekdays play with them can indeed enhance morale, increase the cohesion of the army, increase the tacit understanding of the soldiers, and enhance the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Indeed, this thing has to be advocated from any point of view.

Imagine that the atmosphere of this competition must be fierce and democratic, otherwise why would even people like Zhao Yun burst into foul language?

However, thinking that Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and other military leaders would be knocked to the ground by Wang Dabao, hehe, Tian Fan couldn't help laughing.
