Chen Mu's original intention was to use his sweaty BMW to personally demonstrate the purpose of the harness.

However, Chen Xingtian was worried that his injury had not healed, and Zhao Lai was also worried that the fierce horse would hurt the master again.

Under the persuasion of the two, Chen Mu reluctantly agreed to be tried by General Zhao Lai first, and then pretended to be his own sweat and blood.

He could understand the feelings of the two men.

After all, he is the crown prince of the dynasty, that is, the future of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and it is understandable that the people around him are cautious.

According to the regulations, these things must be made by Emperor Chen Xingtian first.

But this time, Chen Xingtian took the initiative to hand over this power to Chen Mu.

After all, these things were invented by Chen Mu, so he could see the difference between the advantages and disadvantages.

When Li Heng presented a pair of saddles, stirrups and repeaters.

Chen Mu himself couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It's a royal service!

The quality of this set of things is much better than Chen Mu originally imagined!

The saddle is thick and tough cowhide leather, which feels very good to the touch;

The stirrups were also made of the best fine iron that could be forged in this era, and they were polished to be extraordinarily bright;

Even the crossbow frame is made of high-quality hardwood, and the various components are tightly connected, and the organs are flexible and free, and some of the joints are specially reinforced with fine iron;

As for the crossbow arrows, not to mention, Li Heng specially ordered someone to create twenty hardwood crossbow arrows that were thicker than ordinary crossbow arrows, and the arrows were iron-clad and very sharp.

Li Heng saw Chen Mu looking at the things in his hand over and over again but not speaking, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.

These things are highly valued by the emperor.

This is not only because the idea of these things came from the crown prince, but more importantly, these things are related to the rise and fall of the Xia Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a step forward.

He bowed respectfully to Chen Mu.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this saddle stirrup and repeater, I have ordered the most capable craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering to create them, can you see if there is anything wrong?"

Chen Mu glanced at him and did not hide the appreciation and affirmation in his eyes.

"Very good, Master Li, you can be regarded as worthy of your mission."

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and stepped aside after thanking him.

The thing was approved by Chen Mu, and Chen Xingtian and Zhao Lai each briefly checked it again, and they were sure that there was no problem.

Then came the time of all the excitement: application.

After listening to Chen Mu's explanation, Zhao Lai successfully installed the saddle stirrup on his war horse.

The horses were obviously a little unaccustomed to these two things.

Zhao Lai tossed and tossed for a long time before the horses were separated.

Then, according to Chen Mu's guidance, Zhao Lai stepped on the stirrup with one foot, reached out to grab the saddle, and with a fierce force on the other leg, he easily straddled the horse's back.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xingtian couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Good!"

Not to mention anything else, just from the action of getting on the horse, Chen Xingtian could see how much of a role this saddle stirrup could play.

Normally, when the generals and cavalrymen mounted their horses, they had to stand in a place slightly above the ground, and it took a lot of effort to get up by the neck of the horses, and some of them were clumsy and even needed help from others.

Horses are often frightened by this, resulting in injuries to the rider.

However, Zhao Lai, who had just used the saddle and stirrups, rode on the back of the horse with great ease.

Even he himself was a little unbelievable.

After a brief moment of stunnedness, his confidence in the saddle stirrups beneath him suddenly increased.

"Drive-"

Zhao Lai stretched out his hand and tugged on the reins, following the method that Chen Mu had instructed in advance.

The two feet kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse immediately jumped out like an arrow from the string.

Chen Xingtian and Chen Mu stood in place and watched, and Chen Xingtian was also full of praise for Chen Mu's invention.

"Father has won the award." Chen Mu didn't show too much pride, "Everything still has to wait for General Zhao to judge." ”

After all, saddle stirrups aren't really much to show off to him.

"When the minister first saw this thing, he felt that it was unusual, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart."

Li Heng also added a sentence next to him in due course.

Soon, Zhao Lai rode back from a distance, and when he turned over and dismounted in front of several people, his voice trembled a little with excitement.

"Huangshan, this is a sacred object!"

Zhao Lai is different from Chen Xingtian.

As a general who has led troops in battles all year round, he knows too well how much this thing will bring to the cavalry.

This set not only greatly saves the rider's effort, but also makes it easier for people to steer the horse.

It also simplified the process of getting on and off the horse, making the cavalry more mobile.

When necessary, it is possible to quickly switch between cavalry and infantry, and even allow cavalry to stand up on horseback to kill the enemy, and concentrate more power on offensive weapons.

Isn't this an artifact?

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the Ministry of Engineering should immediately order the Ministry of Industry to make a large number of saddle stirrups for our army, and train the cavalry to use ...... skillfully."

Zhao Lai's eyebrows fluttered and told Chen Xingtian about the magical effect of the saddle.

Chen Mu smiled a little helplessly.

A saddle stirrup can make them excited like this, so why don't you go crazy on the spot with this repeater?

After a long time, the two monarchs and ministers, who were too excited, remembered Chen Mu who was hanging aside, and another "artifact" in his hand.

"Son, it's up to you to demonstrate this repeater."

Chen Mu smiled slightly, did not refuse, but grabbed the crossbow arrow on the side.

A whole eight, no more, no less, were all loaded into the repeater by Chen Mu.

Then, Chen Mu lifted the crossbow machine, aimed at a big tree in the distance, and quickly pressed the mechanism.

A series of eight crossbow arrows were fired from the crossbow machine in a row.

The fine iron arrows reflected the cold light in the sunlight and broke through the wind, and all eight crossbow arrows sank deep into the trunk of the tree, and the powerful impact even shook off many leaves on the tree.

Such a demonstration, one time is enough.

"Father, General Zhao, please see."

Chen Mu calmly put down the crossbow machine, still looking light.

This time was different from the sensation caused by the saddle stirrup just now, and the whole scene was silent.

Chen Xingtian, Zhao Lai, Li Heng, and even a few eunuchs who accompanied him all fell into a sluggish state for a while.

Eight crossbow arrows in a row!

What a subversion and shock it was for these ancients!

Just imagine, when the enemy army was still filling the crossbow machine with crossbow arrows one by one, the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty had easily killed eight enemies!

In this era and age, this kind of repeater is an absolute killer weapon on the battlefield!

Wherever the Xia Dynasty army equipped with this kind of repeater crossbow went, it would surely terrify the enemy!

And all of this is thanks to Chen Mu.
