Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 136 Taking Advantage of the Cheng Family

"Will the horse not go to the battlefield a few times, or even run a little longer, and will have to be given up because the hooves are too worn or injured?" Lin Sen smiled at Cheng Huaiyu, and then asked proudly.

"Yes, many war horses are like this, so even though Datang has a lot of horses, it is still necessary to replenish a lot of war horses before each battle.

And it is easy to get hurt if you walk on the mountain road, so you must be careful on the way back to those horses.This is why you need to prepare more horses for you, even if there are injuries, it is better to replace them. "Cheng Yaojin nodded in affirmation and replied.

"Then if I have a way to greatly reduce this situation, not only will they not be easily injured when walking on mountain roads, but they will not stumble because of stepping on the blade on the battlefield, let alone retire early because their hooves are worn out, then Can this method bring back a lot of good things?" Lin Sen continued to whet Cheng Yaojin's appetite.

"Of course, if there is such a method, the value will definitely not be worse than that of the silage. I will definitely credit you with great credit." Cheng Yaojin replied solemnly and patiently.

"Okay, then it's a deal, I'll offer this method, just reward some more land.

Hehe, this should allow all farmers to have land to plant. " Lin Sen said proudly.

"You boy haven't explained what the solution is?" Cheng Yaojin frowned unhappily, and said in a bear voice.

"Hey, I'm happy to be patronizing." Lin Sen touched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"Actually, this method is very simple to put it bluntly. As long as you put shoes on the war horses, you're done. Everyone knows that wearing shoes doesn't rub your feet. Of course, war horses can do it too." Before Cheng Yaojin got mad, Lin Sen hurriedly began to confess. .

"I thought you had some great tricks. It's not like I haven't thought about this idea before. Leather boots are boots for war horses. It's just that these things are too durable and not easy to fix. They fall off after a few runs. .

Sometimes it will slip and fall because of this thing, and the horse stumbles from time to time, so unless you want to surprise the enemy and need someone to hold a horse to bind the hoof, usually no one is willing to use this thing. "Cheng Yaojin said with some disdain.

"Uh, that's not what I'm talking about." Lin Sen waved his hands helplessly and said.

It is not difficult for him to understand why the horse stumbled. Thinking about the pets in later generations, when they first started wearing small boots, it was normal for them to stumble from time to time. Relatively speaking, they are not very tall, right? It is not difficult to imagine how the taller horses will perform.

But with the size of a war horse, such a fall is too harsh, especially if you fall on the battlefield, you can hardly expect to get up after falling. Either your head will be picked off by the enemy, or you will be killed by yourself. People trampled into meat sauce.Then no one would be willing to use this kind of gadget that could ruin one's life at any time.

"The thing I thought of was called a horseshoe. As the name suggests, it is to take a piece of iron and nail it to the bottom of the horse's feet. Their hooves are covered with cuticles, so they won't hurt anyway.

Instead of having to repair a thick layer every year, how about nailing such an iron horseshoe, this thing is so wear-resistant, and if you fix it with iron nails, you don’t have to worry about it falling off. It can be said that the problem is solved once and for all.

If there are really bad ones, you only need to change the iron horseshoe, or simply add a new one. Wouldn't it be much easier?

And since this thing is made of iron, even if it kicks on a stone or a blade, you don't have to worry about hurting the horse's shoe. If it kicks the enemy with a hoof, the lethality will be greatly increased. "

Lin Sen introduced it confidently, and at the same time took a pen and paper and began to draw the shape of a horseshoe, as long as he simply outlined the shape, it was easy to understand.

His mount takin has goat-like hooves, which are very wear-resistant and have a strong grip. Even walking on the mountain is like walking on flat ground. That's why he never thought of horseshoes, but saw those that will soon belong to him. Warhorse just remembered.

"Actually, it's just an iron bar that can be bent. This thing doesn't need a lot of iron, and it's light enough. As long as the horse gets used to it a little bit, it won't cause the horse to stumble. With this thing, maybe it can run faster. Come on, it's not easy to slip." Lin Sen proudly pointed to his work, and continued to introduce its advantages.

"Okay, you'll know if it's successful or not. I'll ask the blacksmith in my house to make it." Cheng Yaojin finished speaking eagerly, grabbed the schematic diagram in Lin Sen's hand and left. This gave Lin Sen and Cheng Huaiyu a chance to be alone.

Under Cheng Yaojin's urging, his family's blacksmith quickly finished making the horseshoes, and the general who was usually responsible for repairing the horseshoes of the family's war horse had already brought a full set of things and was waiting.

"I think it's better to face down?" Lin Sen said to Cheng Yaojin who was measuring with a horseshoe.

"Well, I also think it's better like this." Cheng Yaojin turned the horseshoe over without blushing at all.

After a burst of "jingling" sound, the four horseshoes were quickly fixed to Cheng Yaojin's horse, and he was led away by Cheng Yaojin, who had been impatient for a long time.

Listening carefully to the crisp knocking sound of the horse's shoe falling on the stone slab, and paying attention to the horse's walking posture, Cheng Yaojin nodded in satisfaction.

"Go and get some broken swords to pave here." Cheng Yaojin ordered again, and soon the field was paved with various weapons.

He personally led the somewhat reluctant war horse back and forth from above, then grabbed the horse's hoof without being too dirty, and examined it carefully.

"Okay, okay, okay, this method is really good..." Cheng Yaojin praised repeatedly in excitement.

"Is this a solution?" Lin Sen raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Good boy, you won't get away with this credit, don't worry." Cheng Yaojin nodded with a smile and said.

"Of course I don't have to talk about that. Besides, should I put on the horseshoes of my more than 300 horses first? I'm in a hurry to use them." Lin Sen also imitated Cheng Yaojin's second-handedness.

The Lin family is not as convenient as the Cheng family. Blacksmiths and iron materials can be found at any time. The iron materials needed for these horseshoes alone are a bit difficult for Lin Sen, so it is better to take advantage of the Cheng family. Anyway, is there hope to become a family?

"You boy..." Cheng Yaojin was amused by Lin Sen, but he didn't expect that he would try to be robbed one day. "Okay, it's cheaper for you this time."

Of course, Cheng Yaojin was responsible for the work of expressing merit. This person is already good at this kind of work, so there is no need to worry that he will take Lin Sen's credit.

It's been two days since Lin Sen was out, and Lin Sen was a little worried about the situation at home. What if the situation over there changed while he was away, so he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone in the Cheng family, rode on the takin and ran back. As for the war horses, The Cheng family will naturally send someone to send it over.
