Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 190 Cavalry Treasure
Regardless of whether his horse was damaged or not, Qin Feng would gallop all the way. If he used his top-quality horse to exchange for Datang's countless losses, it would be worth it.

After arriving in Chang'an City, Qin Feng continued to run to the palace. Since he was carrying the high-level token given by Li Shimin, he could travel freely in the palace, and found Li Shimin in the Ganlu Hall in a short time.

The sky was getting dark, but Li Shimin was still reviewing the memorial on the desk, with a satisfied and slightly tired expression on his face.

Although Li Shimin was a little tired, his smile was unusually fulfilling.

For him, there is nothing more gratifying than being able to make Datang Fuqiang.

Before Qin Feng could say hello, Li Shimin burst into a burst of loud laughter: "My great hero is here, please sit down quickly, I am so grateful for your hard work in the Huben Army! You see, I am almost busy now But it’s coming. In order not to fall behind, each of the generals worked hard to train for my Tang Dynasty. In just a few days, the strength of each army has increased a lot.” Li Shimin is like a hospitable host, Grandly invite Qin Feng to sit down.

"His Majesty……"

The smile on Li Shimin's face.He suddenly became stiff, his eyes were a little fierce, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if showing signs of anger.

"Huh?" Qin Feng was a little confused by the monk who was two feet long. He didn't know what happened to Li Shimin. His face changed as soon as he said it, which is strange.

"Hey, General Qin is getting bigger and bigger, and his title has changed from 'Uncle' to 'Your Majesty', do you look down on my future father-in-law?" Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, but there was a faint smile on his face.

Qin Feng's head is a little dizzy, no matter how big this official is, is he as big as the dictator of your empire?He slandered in his belly: "Isn't it just a title, what a fuss!" Thinking so, he bowed down again and called out: "My lord father-in-law!"

Li Shimin looked like he had been waiting for this cry for a long time, and let out a loud laugh: "If you hadn't something to do, you would never have come to chat with me so kindly. My son-in-law, is there something happy to see me today?"

Qin Feng said solemnly: "There are no happy events, but there are a lot of evil events."

"Speak quickly." Seeing that Qin Feng was so serious, Li Shimin also became serious, a little impatient.Even when he discovered those skynets at the beginning, Qin Feng did not have such a cautious expression.

"It's about the army!" Qin Feng reflected the question to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's face also became serious. He is the best at cavalry, and he was once a warrior who charged into battle, so he is no stranger to this matter.

"I can't blame you for this. Not only you, but I and the generals didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Li Shimin was also in a cold sweat. of gold.Although a large number of war horses from Tuli and Yinan had just been blackmailed, compared to the consumption, that was a drop in the bucket, but he understood the reason and did not blame Qin Feng for it.

"Looking at the foreign wars of the past dynasties, the cavalry has always been the defect of the Central Plains Dynasty. The northerners grew up on horseback, and they are quite good at riding and shooting. If we don't train and follow up, the gap will only widen. , but we are short of war horses, and if one is badly trained, one will be lost, which really puts me in a dilemma. The problem is right in front of me, and I really don't know how to get the best of both worlds." Li Shimin said to himself, his expression very embarrassing Distressed, after a while, seeing that Qin Feng didn't look anxious at all, thinking about his various miracles, he said with anticipation: "Your kid has the most ghostly ideas, can you solve it?"

Listening to Li Shimin's ambiguous comments, Qin Feng said with a wry smile: "You guessed it right, I have an idea for this matter, but I have to try it to know."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Quickly tell me."

"It's very simple to say. We humans wear boots, even if we run wildly on the sharp stone road, we can walk on the ground. What if we put a pair of boots on the horses?"

Qin Feng explained the concept of the horseshoe, and drew a structural diagram himself to explain the usage.

Li Shimin stood up moved, no matter how late it was, he dragged Qin Feng outside, and at the same time ordered the guards to rush Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji and other confidant generals to meet with the Shaofu Supervisor .

The Shaofu supervisor is in charge of all kinds of craftsmanship, including smelting and forging, and there are the most outstanding craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the structural drawing given by Qin Feng, the craftsman built a horseshoe in a very short period of time, and under Qin Feng's guidance, the craftsman installed the horseshoe on the horseshoe.

At this time, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji and others rushed over together.

When Li Shimin explained the reason, everyone's eyes burst into fiery light.

They all understood what the horseshoe meant.

Li Shimin pointed to the horse and said to Cheng Yaojin who was eager to try: "General Cheng, you ride on it and give it a try!"

After Cheng Yaojin galloped away, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji and others waited anxiously.

Only Qin Feng has a relaxed face, and he has the chance to win.

For Li Shimin and others, this is an experiment with unknown results, but for Qin Feng, this is an unchangeable fact.

Stirrups, horseshoes, and Takahashi saddles are inevitable weapons for the rise of cavalry.

After a while, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Hou Junji all became impatient, and they all ran around like ants on a hot pot. Whether they succeeded or not was too much for Datang. It's important, every minute and every second is testing the hearts of everyone, it is a kind of torment in anticipation.

Right now!

"Boom, boom, boom..." It sounded like the sound of drumming hooves.

Before the figure arrived, Cheng Yaojin's angry laughter had already reached everyone's ears.

"It's done!"

Li Shimin yelled out of composure, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji and others were also very excited, knowing that this matter had come to fruition, only Qin Feng still looked as expected appearance.

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin threw his stirrup off his horse, "It's so enjoyable!" Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, wanting to punch Qin Feng.

Qin Feng casually gave way and avoided it.This old guy doesn't know how serious it is, if he hits this punch, it will hurt for at least three days.

Cheng Yaojin punched nothing, stopped entanglement, and said with a big smile: "This kid is really amazing. Old Cheng, I rode on it to walk through mud, sand, and step on sharp stones. After a few miles, the horse's hoof was not damaged. Useful. Look..."

Cheng Yaojin raised the horse's hoof, and the horse's hoof was as bright as new without any damage.

Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Hou Junji shouted in surprise.

Li Shimin looked at the greatest hero at this time, and said: "My son-in-law, you have made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty again!"

"Your Majesty, General Xiao Qin's achievements and influence are enough to surpass any foreign war in history, and he deserves a great reward!" These words were said by Hou Junji.His evaluation can be said to be extremely high, but unexpectedly, no one who disagreed agreed with him.

Qin Feng smiled awkwardly and said: "General Hou, this is just a small object, it's not so exaggerated!"

Hou Junji shook his head and sighed: "It's a small object, but throughout the ages, only you discover the wonderful use of this small object, and that is a great contribution."

This horseshoe is indeed very beneficial to the war horse, but it is not enough to evaluate it like this!
Li Jing knew what he was thinking, and explained: "Nephew, I don't know something. As General Hou said, this horseshoe is definitely a blessing for our Tang Dynasty! In the past, when our Tang cavalry fought against the enemy, the horseshoes suffered the most. After a great battle, at least [-]% of the horses were injured, and [-]% of them died. According to statistics, most of the horses were injured due to damaged horseshoes. My Tang Dynasty is no better than those nomads. However, if my Datang cavalry horses are damaged, we can only replace two horses. If two horses are also injured, we can only go on the field with injuries. This pair of horses is extremely harmful to people. With this horseshoe, our Datang Soldiers can avoid this suffering, and don’t have to worry about it anymore!”

In the battle of cavalry, knights not only have to run long distances, but also sprint at close range, and also charge back and forth in the mud full of swords and soldiers.The horny skin on the surface of the horse's hoof is the easiest to fall off in this situation. Once it falls off, the horse's hoof will be damaged immediately, and it can no longer fight.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always had a shortage of war horses, so it is not uncommon to suffer losses in battles, and all of these people who have come here have special feelings.In their view, Qin Feng's credit for "inventing" this small horseshoe is no less than any great victory.

"In addition to horseshoes, I have two other methods to improve the stability and combat effectiveness of cavalry on horseback. At the same time, it can allow soldiers to run long distances without injury to the inner thighs."

"Speak quickly!" Cheng Yaojin urged.

"My Tang Dynasty is not a country where I grew up on horseback. Except for the limited number of people, there are very few people who can really use both hands. But even if they can use both hands, they still need to spend part of their strength on their legs to control stability. In this way, personal strength will be greatly reduced when riding on horseback, and if traveling at high speed, the strength that can be used on weapons is even more pitiful."

Everyone is an expert in riding, and they agree with Qin Feng's words, so they look forward to his solution.

Qin Feng brought the war horse, pointed to the hastily made one-sided stirrup and said: "To put it bluntly, it is not worth mentioning. My solution is to install the stirrup on both sides. In this way, not only the stability is guaranteed, And after being able to release the hand that controls the horse, the personal strength can be multiplied in battle."

"Wonderful, wonderful! It's so wonderful, what else is there?" At this moment, this group of top talents in the Tang Dynasty has become obedient three-good students, and they are all listening to Qin Feng's explanation seriously. , one by one danced with joy, how could there be an image of an emperor and a general.
