Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 120 Unwilling to be reconciled, Hu Hai and Chun Yuyue proposed a cavalry competition! Fusu is full of confidence!
Everyone looked at the speaker, who was Hu Hai.

"Hu Hai, what do you have to say?"

Ying Zheng, with a smile on his face, looked at Hu Hai and said.

Hu Hai had a gloomy look on his face and looked at the two horses.

He turned to look at the First Emperor and said, "Father!"

"Just because a war horse runs fast doesn't mean it will definitely have an advantage when fighting."

"Cavalry combat is a big deal, and it can't be faster just because a three-piece harness is put on a war horse."

"I think we can fight the Huns' cavalry. I think it's better for two soldiers to mount war horses and compete in person."

"If a soldier is riding a three-piece harness, he will defeat a soldier riding a horse brought from the horse park in a sparring match."

"Only can we prove that the three-piece harness set does have a great effect on the cavalry."

Hu Hai looked gloomy and expressed his thoughts.

The war horse that Zhao Gao found lost in speed to the war horse with a three-piece harness from Fu Su. This result was unexpected by Hu Hai.

Hu Hai also noticed that his father and other ministers looked at the three-piece harness set with admiration after seeing this result.

Zhang Han and Meng Yi are also famous generals of the generation, and Meng Yi supports Fusu.

It’s not surprising that Hu Hai praised the three-piece harness, but Zhang Han was his father’s personal general.

Being able to become his father's personal general, Hu Hai knew in his heart that his father trusted Zhang Han very much.

Just now, Zhang Han also praised the three-piece harness set, which made Hu Hai feel a little worried.

He didn't expect that the three-piece harness set would have such a great effect, making an ordinary war horse faster than the high-quality war horses in the horse park.

His father had just praised Fusu, and Hu Hai knew in his heart that his father had believed Fusu's words.

He couldn't look at his father and trust Fusu like this, and could only look for weaknesses in his war horse.

Just because a war horse is fast doesn't mean it has an advantage in sparring.

Hu Hai believed that the soldiers riding the horses in the horse garden would not lose to Fusu's horses in the competition.

Even having a three-piece harness doesn't change the outcome.

"I think what Mr. Hu Hai said makes sense. Whether the border cavalry can fight head-on with the Xiongnu cavalry will be very important to the Qin Dynasty."

"If you are not sure, a war horse with a three-piece harness can really fight against the Huns' war horses."

"Once there is a problem, the border defense will be breached by the Huns."

"I think it would be better for your majesty to let two soldiers ride on the war horses to have a discussion."

When Chunyu Yue heard Hu Hai's words, he quickly echoed them.

Chunyu Yue could clearly see the scene of the two horses running just now.

He also didn't expect that a war horse with a three-piece harness could run so fast.

Hearing His Majesty and other ministers' praise of the three-piece harness, Chunyu Yue felt angry and unwilling.

He originally thought that today would be a day of shame for Fusu, but he did not expect that Fusu would be praised by His Majesty.

Just as Chunyu Yue was thinking of ways to resolve this situation.

He heard Hu Hai's proposal, and Chunyu Yue felt a little excited in his heart.

Hu Hai's suggestion is very good. The speed of war horses does not mean that it is an advantage when cavalry are competing.

He decisively chose to speak out and support Hu Hai's proposal.

After hearing what Hu Hai and Chun Yuyue said, some ministers pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

They felt that what Hu Hai and Chun Yuyue said made sense. The fast speed of war horses did not completely mean that the cavalry would have an advantage when fighting.

In cavalry combat, the most important thing is to look at the performance during the fight.

Ying Zheng, who had a smile on his face, became calm after hearing Hu Hai's words.

Turning to look at Fusu, he said, "You also heard the suggestions of Hu Hai and Chunyu Aiqing."

"Fusu, do you agree to Hu Hai and Chunyu Aiqing's proposal?"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Fusu.

Meng Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart at this time, just now the two horses were running.

He did understand the role of a war horse with a three-piece harness. However, there is a difference between soldiers riding war horses to fight and soldiers riding war horses to run.

On the battlefield, two cavalry parties were fighting.

The better the horse you ride, the more advantage you will have when fighting.

The war horses that Zhao Gao found from the horse garden were better than those with three-piece harnesses.

Meng Yi was worried that the three-piece harness would not be effective when two soldiers were fighting on horseback.

In this way, Mr. Fusu's three-piece harness only makes the horse run faster.

This result cannot convince His Majesty and other ministers.

Fusu raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the First Emperor's words, and glanced at Hu Hai and Chun Yuyue, who were staring at him with resentful expressions on their faces.

Turning his head to look at the First Emperor, he said, "What Hu Hai said makes sense."

"Just because a war horse can run fast, it doesn't mean that the cavalry will have the upper hand during a fight."

"The cavalry determines whether the border can be defended, even if Hu Hai doesn't say anything."

"My son will also ask my father for permission to allow two soldiers to compete on war horses."

"In this way, my father and the ministers will know the function of the three-piece harness."

After Fusu finished speaking, there was a smile on his face.

When Hu Hai heard Fusu's confident words, there was a trace of ridicule on his face.

In his opinion, Fusu was just pretending to be calm. There was such a big gap between the two horses.

He did not believe that a three-piece harness could allow an ordinary war horse to defeat a high-quality war horse.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's confident words, he nodded slightly: "Zhang Han, have two soldiers prepare to compete on horseback."

Ying Zheng agreed to Hu Hai and Fu Su's proposal and asked Zhang Han beside him to arrange the next discussion.

"As ordered!"

Zhang Han walked up to the two soldiers and told them to ride on their horses to compete.

The weapons used by cavalry in combat are mostly spears.

In order to make the exchange more realistic, Zhang Han found two more spears without spearheads and handed them to the two soldiers.

The two soldiers took the spears and mounted their respective horses.

Both soldiers were veterans and had the same spears in their hands.

The only difference is the war horse they are riding on. One is a high-quality war horse brought from the horse park.

One is an ordinary war horse with a three-piece harness.

The First Emperor and all the ministers looked at the two cavalrymen riding war horses. Hu Hai had a smile on his face when he saw this scene.

The two cavalrymen looked at each other on war horses, and the difference in the size of the horses could be seen at a glance.

The war horse brought from the horse garden is tall and strong with strong limbs. The body and limbs of the war horse with a three-piece harness are very ordinary.

Hu Hai believed that in this head-to-head competition, the cavalrymen who brought the horses from the horse garden would definitely win.

In this way, the three-piece harness set that my father and the ministers saw only had the effect of making the war horses run faster.

By then Hu Hai would have an excuse to attack Fusu.

Hu Hai believed that he would definitely lose face if he went to Fusu this morning.

Meng Yi looked at the scene in front of him with a trace of worry in his eyes.

As a military general, he could see through the situation of the soldiers riding two war horses at a glance.

The cavalryman riding the high-quality war horse of the horse park is obviously stronger than the other soldier in terms of momentum.

Momentum is very important to soldiers. A strong momentum represents an advantage.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhang Han also felt sorry for Mr. Fusu.

He felt that in this head-to-head competition, the cavalryman riding a three-piece harness was likely to lose.

Zhang Han was just a general. When he saw that the two soldiers were ready, he looked at the two soldiers and said:
"The competition begins!"
