Chapter 256: Horseshoe

When he returned to the house, he came to report to Gongsun Fu to ask for a meeting.

Gongsun Fu was sent to the Western Regions last year to visit famous horses, and he has been there for almost four or five months.

In the living room, Gongsun Fu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Yang Zheng, he bowed his hand and bowed: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, they have visited all the countries in the Western Regions, and found thirty-one excellent stallions, and there is also a treasure." ”

"Oh? What kind of treasure is it? Yang Zheng's curiosity was aroused, if it was something like gemstone agate, he didn't have much interest.

Gongsun Fu was a little excited and took out an arc-shaped iron tool from his sleeve.

"Horseshoe!" Yang Zheng was also excited.

This thing is a treasure, with it, it can protect the horse's hooves, make the horse run farther, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, this is the real iron horse!

In the first battle, the 6,000 cavalry battalion of Mengyu attacked the Hu brothers, and nearly half of the horses were damaged!

Most of them are cracked or broken.

With this thing, with double horse pedals, Yang Zheng's cavalry can really dominate the world!

The tactical level of the generals is important, but the importance of equipment is also self-evident.

Yang Zheng remembered that the horseshoe appeared in Middle-earth, which seems to be the Mengyuan period.

The Mongolian cavalry galloped all over the world, which may have something to do with it.

"This thing is a subordinate who crossed the Tianshan Mountains and looked for Dawan Horse, and happened to encounter it, and the Central Plains never knew about it, how could the general know it?" Gongsun Fu wondered.

Yang Zheng casually pulled a reason, "I saw it in an ancient book." ”

Gongsun Fu was puzzled for a moment, "The general is very knowledgeable, and his subordinates are not as good as him." ”

Yang Zheng laughed dryly, and immediately rushed to the iron shop with Gongsun Fu.

Let it build some.

Gongsun Fu was still reliable, not only bringing back stallions and shoes, but also bringing back four Hu people.

A real bearded man with a full beard.

It's just that his body is thin and his eye sockets are deep-set, and he looks like a person who is often hungry.

Just like most of the Qiang Hu that Yang Zheng has seen in this era.

In terms of physique, it is a little worse than Hermes-Epitek.

The argument that the nomads are meat eaters and the farming people eat grass is simply a big joke in the world, the grassland people live more bitterly than the Central Plains people, eating meat is the business of the chiefs and nobles, and all kinds of dairy products are the food of ordinary herdsmen.

Bringing two war horses, Gongsun Fu gestured to the three Hu people.

Hu Ren nodded frequently, took out all kinds of strange-shaped tools from the package, and the two hugged the war horse, one to appease, and the other to nail the palm.

Those who can be brought back by Gongsun Fu naturally have some real skills.

It took about half an hour for all four of them to sweat profusely before they could get a war horse.

Yang Zheng checked it, and rode the war horse again, the dragon was alive and vigorous, the four hooves were powerful, and the reins were raised, and the war horse man stood up, and the two front hooves stepped on the bluestone slab, leaving two cracks.

The real Iron Rider was born.

In the later period, as long as it is equipped with double stirrups and put on cold forging armor, it is a leading class of troops in this era.

Cavalry is the king on the battlefield, especially in Liangzhou.

In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass in history, Emperor Li Er's 3,500 Xuanjia iron cavalry attacked Dou Jiande's 300,000 army head-on, and captured Dou Jiande alive.

Although there are also Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty in history who used 2,000 foot soldiers to form a moon formation with 2,000 foot soldiers and break the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how many Mengren like Song Wu are there in history?

Most of the time, the cavalry had a considerable advantage.

"Tell them that in the future, they will stay in the Western Capital and find some people who are quick to learn from him." Yang Zheng said to Gongsun Fu.

Gongsun Fu chattered with the four Hu people.

The four Hu people all understood, but they all shook their heads.

Gongsun Fu was embarrassed: "They are willing to nail the horseshoe for the general, but they are not willing to teach the craft, and they also want us to give one or two gold for each war horse." ”

"Why don't you grab it!" Yang Zheng was angry and laughed.

A tael of gold......

Is this treating yourself as a great injustice?

Besides, the four of them are doing this, and Ma Yue can only get an iron horse in the Year of the Monkey.

"Tell them that I only need one person who can teach, and if you don't want to teach, you will be beheaded!" Yang Zheng said murderously.

After Gongsun Fu finished the comparison, the four Hu people looked at Yang Zheng in fear, and discussed again.

One person stood up and said in fluent Chinese: "Respected general, we are willing, willing, please don't kill us." ”

"You know how to speak!" Gongsun Fu said angrily.

Merchants in the Western Regions have always been treacherous, and during the Han Dynasty, a large number of merchants pretended to be princes of the Western Regions and went to Luoyang, Chang'an, to cheat and drink.

Besides, in this era of war and chaos, who can do business everywhere, which one is not a thief and slippery?

There was Feng Qi before, and now there are these Hu people.

"I will not kill you, but I will reward you with money for your mansion, so that you can live in peace in this city, marry and have children." It is much more convenient to know Chinese.

Horseshoe and double horseped are secret weapons, and it is impossible to leak out.

Secrecy is certain.

Yang Zheng thought about building another dock fort in the Howling Wind Valley in the south of Xiping, specifically opening up new weapons and hiding new cavalry.

Hu Ren's face was embarrassed, "We still have family in peace." ”

"I'll send someone to fetch them." Yang Zheng looked at them, "Okay, I'm busy, if you don't want to, I'll find a good cemetery for you." ”

Nailing horseshoe is not a particularly difficult thing, after reading it once, you will know the general method, without them, Yang Zheng can confidently figure it out.

"Yes, yes!"

Hu Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yang Zheng looked at Gongsun Fu, "Take them down, entertain them, and try to meet their needs in life, if they are cheating and cheating, you can directly cut off their heads." ”

"Yui!" Gongsun Fu squinted and looked coldly at the four Hu people.

The next day, three new-style cavalrymen stood in front of Yang Zheng.

The men and horses were all dressed in cold-forged armor, double horseshoe, four-hooved iron horseshoe, and while running, the cavalry completely loosened the reins and held the lance in both hands, but it was much more stable than before.

Increased stability means increased combat power.

Whether it is a lance, a ring-headed sword, a bow and arrow, they are all freely used.

The war horses jumped and galloped, and the tigers and tigers were in the wind.

This is the real cavalry.

"All those who have come into contact with this equipment must be kept secret and strictly guarded, and a separate battalion should be placed, and their family files should also be connected to the battalion and not be in contact with outsiders." It's a good thing, it's not hard to get out, and if it leaks, it will become your own nightmare.

Don't underestimate the skill level of your opponents.

With a lack of population, the demand for technology is increasing.

Ma Jun once improved the Zhuge crossbow and improved the new silk weaving machine, and his invention of the keel waterwheel is still in use in later generations.

Gongsun Fu arched his hand and said: "Only! ”

The stallion in the Western Regions, Yang Zheng has also seen it, but he thinks that it is just so, and he doesn't feel much stronger than the Liangzhou horse.

It may also be that Gongsun Fu did not find the right place.

With a horseshoe, the requirements for war horses are not so high.

The river horse has its own strengths in physical strength and hardiness.

"You've worked hard this time, but I can't let you rest, it's a critical time, and you still have to be responsible for the salt affairs." Yang Zheng patted Gongsun Fu's shoulder.

In the most dangerous time, it was these old brothers who held on.

Gongsun Fu looked excited, "My subordinates dare not do their best!" ”

"General, the envoy of the imperial court!" The guards came to report.

Yang Zheng was shocked, and finally came.

Whether Jincheng County can be swallowed justifiably depends on the will of the imperial court.
