"The stirrups are combined with the saddle to increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry."

"Not only that, but more importantly, it reduces the investment and time of training cavalry."

"It's important that horseshoes reduce the wear and tear of horses."

"Such good things must be kept confidential and must not be divulged."

"The Zhao people always say that their cavalry and shooting are unparalleled in the world, and from a certain point of view, they are far inferior to the new army!"

“.”

"Ladies and gentlemen." In the main hall of the barracks, Wang Jian greeted everyone, "Although things are good, the most important thing is to train the law." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Li Yunze, his eyes were full of admiration, "The cavalry trained by Taifu is like an arm that makes the fingers gather and scatter, and only in this way can the advantages of the equipment be brought into full play." ”

The generals nodded their heads one after another, and praised Taifu Niu beep~~~

Li Yunze smiled and didn't speak, but just took a stack of papers that had recently swept Xianyang City from the side and handed it to Yingzheng who was smiling.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry training drill is here. How to train cavalry, it is clearly written. ”

The generals' eyes all lit up.

Most of the generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty relied on brave charges to fight.

If you take the lead and rush over, you can win if you win, and if you can't win, you will be defeated, which is referred to as a swarm tactic.

And the generals of this era are basically based on the art of war.

From the selection and training of troops to the marching and camping, from the arrangement of troops to the dispatch of the battlefield, all the techniques used are the art of war.

Among them, the training of military selection is absolutely the top priority.

If the soldiers are strong, the chances of winning the war are greater.

Each martial arts family basically has its own family's relevant military training records, which are all heirlooms of each family, the guarantee of power and wealth, and the real secret that is not passed on.

The power of the innovative cavalry has been vividly demonstrated in front of everyone through the previous two rounds of martial arts.

The generals who were able to enter this main hall naturally did not have a lot of money, and they could all see how bright the future of the innovative cavalry was, and naturally they also wanted to take this ride.

That being the case, Li Yunze, who has already proven himself, took out the training drill manual, which is naturally popular with everyone.

In the face of the generals' self-recommendation, Ying Zheng turned his eyes and said, "Don't bother the two masters, and the matter of training the new army should be continued by Taifu." ”

Before Li Yunze could speak, Wang Jian followed and said, "The king is reasonable. I, the tens of thousands of cavalry of Daqin, should be trained to become such a strong army. ”

"The cavalry is in the tens of thousands."

Here, Li Yunze finally turned to the topic: "But there are not so many horses, especially excellent war horses that can go to the battlefield." In order to give full play to the combat effectiveness of cavalry, at least one person is required to be equipped with three horses. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?"

Yang Duanhe was shocked and shouted, "It's not enough for the entire Great Qin to concentrate all the horses. ”

"If it's not enough, then find a way." Li Yunze gave Ying Zheng a look.

Ying Zheng, who was pulling the throat of the male duck, coughed, stepped forward and said, "Since I, Daqin, have made a breakthrough, I naturally have to develop vigorously." If you don't have enough horses, find a way to get enough. ”

Huan Qi saluted and asked, "Dare to ask the king, what should I do?" ”

"Naturally, I went to rob it." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Daqin's horses are not enough, so go somewhere else to get them back." ”

The generals nodded their heads, indicating that this was indeed a good idea.

"The King." Wang Jian asked, "Except for the Zhao Kingdom, the rest of the countries do not have a large number of horses. However, if Zhao is attacked again, it may attract the interference of various countries. ”

During the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao were the two most powerful countries in the world, and none of the countries supported them, thinking that they could lose both.

By the end of the Battle of Changping, Zhao had a broken backbone, and the attitudes of various countries had changed.

The previous battle of Handan, which rescued Zhao, is an example.

"There are a large number of horses in this world, but not only Zhao Guo."

Li Yunze pulled over a map and put his finger on the westernmost part of the Qin State, "This was the territory of Xirong before, and further west from here is the territory of the Qiang people and the Yueshi people, and it is a long corridor under the Qilian Mountain, located west of the big river, which can be described as the Hexi Corridor." ”

"There are many nomadic tribes here, they raise a lot of horses, cattle and sheep, and most importantly, the land here is fertile, water and grass, which is very suitable for horse breeding."

"Horses are very expensive to raise. On weekdays, the consumption of one horse is enough to cover the expenses of five soldiers. When it comes to wartime, the consumption will only be greater. ”

"If you want to raise horses, you need a horse farm with good conditions."

The Hexi Corridor is indeed a good place to raise horses, and the famous Shandan Racecourse is located here.

As for Li Yunze's remark that raising horses costs a lot, the generals all agreed.

Raising horses requires pasture, but the cooked land in Daqin is used to grow grain, where is the best pasture to raise horses.

If there are indeed horses and pastures in this Hexi corridor, it is naturally worth sending troops.

Seeing that the generals all agreed, Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Zhao Ji, who was half-lying on the couch not far away, closing his eyes and recuperating, "Queen Mother, do you see that the matter of the Binghe West Corridor is feasible?" ”

Zhao Ji doesn't understand military affairs, but after listening to it for so long, she knows that she wants to fight.

She asked a little worriedly, "Can you win?" ”

The generals had different expressions, and in the end, Yang Duanhe stepped forward and saluted and said, "Queen Mother, if you send troops to the Kwantung countries, once the countries are united, you will naturally not dare to say that you will win." ”

"But in the land of barbarians, Rong Chen said a big word, and the minister only needs 100,000 troops to level this place!"

"It doesn't take that much, a certain Huan Qi only needs 50,000 is enough!"

"The minister is willing to lead the troops to open up the territory for Great Qin!"

"Let the minister go! The minister only needs 30,000 soldiers and horses~~~"

The generals of the Qin State are all happy when they hear the war, and when they hear that there is going to be a war, they are all scrambling one by one.

After some disputes, no one could convince anyone, and finally looked at Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng also experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and he was a little difficult to choose, so he immediately looked at Li Yunze with an inquiring gaze.

Li Yunze smiled slightly, and first asked, "King, do you trust them?" ”

Ying Zheng understood this matter, and immediately nodded again and again, "The widow naturally trusts the generals." ”

Li Yunze then asked, "Among the generals, who is more experienced and who has won more battles?" ”

"This." Ying Zheng couldn't say it in front of everyone, so he had to say, "They are all famous generals of Great Qin." ”

Li Yunze said with a smile: "In this case, the king should order the generals to write a battle strategy, and then hand it over to the generals to judge together, and the most supported person can naturally be the general who leads the troops." ”

Ying Zheng nodded first, and then blurted out, "Taifu doesn't want to go?" ”

"Fighting on the march is not a specialty." Li Yunze responded with a smile undiminished: "A certain is a Taoist disciple, and self-cultivation plus alchemy is a certain director." ”

This kind of words, in the main hall of this military camp, maybe only Zhao Ji will believe it.

Not to mention anything else, to be able to single-handedly train such a strong innovative cavalry, you say that you are not good at marching and fighting? Who's blinded?

However, the generals still breathed a sigh of relief, and it was naturally a good thing that there was no one to snatch military merit from them.

The generals left the barracks one after another and returned to Xianyang City to write their battle plans.

When Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji walked together, he reluctantly took Li Yunze's hand and said, "Taifu, everything here has been done, and the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions has also been passed, why do you want to stay?" ”

"yes."

Zhao Ji, whose eyes were full of resentment, also followed and said, "Go back with us." ”

"There's still some work to be done."

Li Yunze sincerely promised, "When everything is done, I will return to Xianyang City as soon as possible." ”

When Yingzheng and Zhao Ji's team left the barracks in a mighty way, Li Yunze turned around and went to the warehouse.

The military law of the Qin army was harsh, and even if Li Yunze, the chief general of this military camp, came over, he had to go through a series of procedures before he could enter the military place.

If the soldier guarding the warehouse is let go without going through the procedures and procedures because Li Yunze is the main general, then according to the military law of the Qin army, he will be punished with the criminal law of cutting off his nose.

It's really, brutally!

The warehouse is a large barracks, divided into many areas, each with a varying number of warehouses, storing all kinds of military supplies, from weapons to food.

The state of Qin is a country where the army is supreme, and everything is for the service of the army.

So even if it's just an ordinary military camp, the variety and quantity of materials here are numb.

Li Yunze walked into the warehouse where the armor was stored, which was densely packed with all kinds of leather armor, bronze armor, iron armor and many other armors used by the Qin army.

The most eye-catching of these is naturally the leather armor made of rhinoceros skin.

During the Spring and Autumn period, rhinos were also widely distributed everywhere.

It's just a pity that their leather is too useful, and their incredible defense brings not a chance of survival, but an endless slaughter of humans.

By the Warring States period, rhinos were almost endangered.

Elephants were also encountered.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many elephants outside the capital of Zhou Tianzi, and the number was very large.

Just look at the abbreviation of the province Yu to know that it is a man leading an elephant.

Li Yunze's gaze only stopped for a moment before moving away, and finally landed on a set of iron armor that the Mo family had sent a few days ago.

This set of iron armor is a one-piece armor that is not available in any country in this era, and the front and back are linked by shoulder armor to form a set of breastplates with amazing defensive power.

"Cavalry archers won't do it."

Li Yunze stepped forward and stretched out his hand to caress the armor in front of him, "There must also be the cooperation of the armored cavalry." ”

With the level of science and technology in this era, it is impossible to make armor of this level.

It's not impossible to build it by hand, but the investment of time, energy and materials is just a superficial appearance.

If you really want to mass production, you must use a hydraulic press.

Li Yunze's eyes looked into the distance through the breathable windows of the warehouse, "We have to end the troubled times here as soon as possible, and concentrate the strength of the whole world to promote Yingzheng to be the captain." ”

"Archers and cuirassiers are no problem in field battles, but if you attack a city."

He touched his nose, "It seems that you really have to refine the pill, and you have to refine the purified black powder." ”
