Chapter Twenty-Four: I Almost Flashed Waist
Because there is no horseshoe in this era, few people will take care of the cuticle of the horse's hooves, just like the cuticle of the white horse's hooves is split, no one will pay attention, but the horseshoe cuticle of Fang Qi's big green horse, due to the long-term follow-up of Fang Qi, the cuticle is very worn, but it is not too long, but even so, it has to be treated to install the horseshoe.
Lu Chen personally demonstrated how to cut the cuticle, told the craftsman how long the cuticle should be kept, and the precautions for nailing the horseshoe, etc., and then with the help of the craftsman, he began to nail the big green horse to the horseshoe.
Each horseshoe had eight nail holes, but Lu Chen only nailed seven, which made Fang Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, feel strange.
"Strategist, why do you have to leave a nail hole? Isn't it firmer to be fully nailed? Li Xiuning also saw Lu Chen's operation, so he also asked curiously beside Lu Chen, Lu Chen demonstrated a hoof, and let other craftsmen operate it, and he guided on the side.
To be honest, Lu Chen's technique is to operate according to what he saw in his previous life, but these craftsmen have never seen it, so Lu Chen can also guide, but the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is too good, and they will soon not need Lu Chen's guidance.
Hearing Li Xiuning's question, Lu Chen smiled: "Leave a nail hole for backup!" Seven horseshoe nails are strong enough, leaving one nail hole so that if the other nail holes fall off, this nail hole can be temporarily reinforced! Lu Chen explained to Li Xiuning, of course, his voice could also be heard by other onlookers.
"That's what a rainy day! If you don't say that people are military advisors, we are big soldiers! Fang Qi slapped him with a sycophant.
"Less sycophants!" Lu Chen scolded Fang Qi with a smile, after getting along with each other during this time, Lu Chen felt that Fang Qi was not hostile to him, on the contrary, he had the intention of pleasing himself, if this was all a performance, it could only be said that Fang Qi's acting skills were too good, and he was blinded as a special combat captain.
"My lord, the big green horse has already nailed the horseshoe!" At this time, a craftsman came to report to Lu Chen.
"I'll see!" Lu Chen turned around and came to the side of the big green horse and checked the situation of the horseshoe one by one, while Fang Qi also craned his neck to look, "The nail is good!" Lu Chen praised it, or he said that he had a specialization in the art industry, the craftsmanship of this craftsman was better than Lu Chen, "Bring the stirrups, just take two!" Lu Chen instructed a craftsman to fetch two stirrups.
The big green horse itself is also equipped with stirrups, but it is made of cloth, to put it bluntly, it is two foot rings made of cloth, which are put on the feet when riding a horse and strangled the soles of the feet, while the iron stirrups are different, the iron stirrups are similar to small pedals, and the knight only needs to step on them.
Lu Chen dismantled the original cloth stirrups, then tied the iron stirrups to it, and then beckoned to Fang Qiyi: "Come on, try!" ”
Fang Qi was not ambiguous, as soon as he heard that he wanted to try, Fang Qi directly stepped on the stirrup and moved the saddle, and as soon as he turned over, he rode on the big green horse.
"Strategist, it's so convenient!" Fang Qi stepped on the iron stirrup under his feet in surprise, and said to Lu Chen, after all, if it was still the previous stirrup, he needed help from others when he got on the horse, he had to put one foot in the stirrup first, and then others helped him get on the horse behind him, and then helped him put the other foot in the stirrup, with the iron stirrup it is different, as long as he stepped on the iron stirrup on one side, grabbed the saddle, he could get on the horse by turning over, and the other foot naturally stepped into the stirrup on the other side.
"Two laps and a try!" Lu Chen said, patting the big green horse's buttocks, the big green horse "sparsely" let out a cry, shook off his steps and ran up in the school yard in front of the stable.
The iron stirrup stepped on the ground, the stones flew over, but it had no effect on the speed of the big green horse, the crisp sound of horse hooves resounded all over the school field, Fang Qi, who was riding on the big green horse, seemed to feel that just riding a horse was not enough, turned around, and ran back on the big green horse, at the same time, let the soldier hand him a spear, and then turn the horse's head, while riding the big green horse, while dancing the spear.
"It's so steady!" The other generals on the side, seeing Fang Qi's dancing spear, couldn't help but praise with envy, you must know that when you use the stirrup, although you can also dance the long-handled weapon, it is not stable, because there are two ropes on the feet to bear the weight, once the force is too strong, in case the stirrup breaks, before you can hurt the enemy, you will fall off the horse because the stirrup is broken, and there is no place to cry.
And at this moment, with the iron stirrups under their feet, there is no difference between peace and earth for these horse generals, and the iron stirrups are the whole ball of their feet on them, and the force is much easier, so these generals now look at the stirrups and horseshoes in the box, as if they see rare treasures, and their eyes are shining.
"Strategist, what stirrups and horseshoes did my horse crash into too!"
"That's right! Right! And me! ”
A group of generals directly surrounded Lu Chen, scrambling to install the iron harness first, for the sake of this iron harness, a group of generals also ignored the official rank, pushing each other, and there was a big fight if they didn't agree with each other.
"It's going to happen! There will be! Lu Chen looked at the battle of these generals, and his scalp was a little numb, a large group of big men with five big and three thick men surrounded Lu Chen, judging from the comparison of body alone, Lu Chen was like a sheep that fell into the wolves, and the "little sheep" Lu Chen could only look at Li Xiuning for help.
And Li Xiuning was also a little surprised, she thought at first that the iron harness that Lu Chen had made was just convenient to ride and protect the war horse, but when she saw Fang Qi riding on the horse, playing with a spear like walking on the ground, she realized the importance of this kind of thing, this is a divine object that can erase the gap with the Turkic cavalry.
"What are you all talking about!" Li Xiuning snorted coquettishly, and directly stopped the generals, and everyone could only obediently retreat to the side, but their eyes betrayed their immortality.
"Strategist, this stirrup and horseshoe can be called a sacred object for marching and fighting, and the strategist contributed it so easily, which really makes Ben Shuai a little ashamed!" Li Xiuning bowed to Lu Chen.
"What did the marshal say! This thing is of no use to me at all, since I am now a military advisor of the great commander, I naturally have to think about the great commander, this kind of thing is just a small road! Lu Chen hurriedly returned the salute to Li Xiuning, and at the same time did not forget to blow a wave.
Li Xiuning's wonderful eyes flashed with light when Lu Chen said something, and he was obviously fooled by Lu Chen again, but the next words made Lu Chen almost flash his waist.
"Then is it possible to install an iron harness for the handsome jade lion?" Li Xiuning also turned a corner to install stirrups and horseshoes.
It's been a long day, and Li Xiuning's purpose is also this! Lu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
