The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Stirrups
laugh!laugh!
Dongfang Sheng, shirtless, was cutting a round-bottomed wooden shelf with a chisel.

Wang Hu watched Dongfang Sheng tinkering with a wooden frame, and asked curiously, "My lord, are you a carpenter?"

Wang Hu didn't understand why Dongfang Sheng had to do those menial jobs.

Dongfang Youcai's huge figure blocked Wang Hu's sight like a humanoid screen.

"What are you looking at!" Dongfang Youcai taught, "This is a big secret. My nephew has said that it must not be leaked out, let alone let outsiders know."

"Uncle, Wang Hu is not an outsider." Dongfang Sheng said without raising his head, "It doesn't matter if he sees it."

Stirrup!How could I forget this!Dongfang Sheng has always felt that something was missing when riding a horse. It was not until recently that he realized that the cavalry artifact such as the stirrup was missing. With this kind of thing, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry would inevitably be doubled.

When riding on horseback and galloping to shoot arrows, cavalry must slow down or dismount their bows to shoot arrows; when fighting on horseback, the two sides must not swing with all their strength, otherwise they will lose their balance and fall off the horse.The stirrup gave the cavalry a strong point of support for their feet.

The stirrup also makes the horse easier to control, connects the man and the horse as one, and frees the hands of the man on the horseback. Swing to complete the military action of chopping left and chopping right.

If this thing is known by other people, I am afraid it will be learned immediately, but since it is made out, Dongfang Sheng feels that it will not be kept for too long, and the enemy will imitate it soon, but his current plan is to be able to hide it. A while is a while.

Zhao Yun came again, taking Zhang He with him.The two looked at the things in Dongfang Sheng's hands, and after thinking about it carefully, they all showed shocked expressions. Zhang He's face was even paler, and his forehead was sweating.

Ever since Wang Hu knew the value of the thing in Dongfang Sheng's hand, when he saw Zhang Yun's appearance, he quietly stood behind Zhang Yun and blocked his retreat.

Once Zhang Yun made any abnormal moves, Wang Hu was sure that he could kill him immediately.

Dongfang Sheng stopped what he was doing, and glanced at Zhang Xi, who was a little weak, and Wang Hu who was standing behind him: "They're all on our own, so don't make them nervous."

Dongfang Sheng's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhang Xi's eyes were even more grateful.

"My lord, will you allow me to go to Wei County to pick up my family?" Zhang Yun felt that it was time for him to ask this question. The general had to kill his relatives to show his loyalty. Zhang He felt that he still had a choice when he went back, but he didn't know. At this pass, will Dongfang Sheng let him go back?

"No way!"

Wang Hu used this old saying again, and of course Dongfang Youcai was on Wang Hu's side this time.

"Junyi, go and choose a fast horse yourself, and go back with some gold and silk." Dongfang Sheng ignored Wang Hu and Dongfang Youcai, "Remember to be careful in everything."

Zhao Yun glanced at Dongfang Sheng meaningfully, let the general know his secret and let him go back to the former lord. His junior brother is really a courageous person.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang He knelt on the ground with red eyes, at this moment, he felt that he would never betray Dongfang Sheng again.

The people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were actually very strange, just like one of Cao Cao's subordinates, Cao Cao said in front of everyone that even if the whole world betrayed him, he would not, but that person directly defected to the enemy.

After Cao Cao learned about it, he said that if he caught this subordinate, he would not forgive him.

Then Cao Cao defeated the enemy, and his men were captured. Cao Cao forgave him and made him an official.

This story fully illustrates a problem. In fact, a large part of people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty said their heartfelt love to you verbally.

But there are also positive examples, not to mention Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, etc. Anyway, the complexity of people is actually hard to explain clearly. When you have absolute confidence in a person, I am afraid that person will immediately do something that makes you absolutely Disappointing thing.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng didn't care, because the scout battalion's intelligence network in Jizhou had already been established, so he wasn't worried about any problems that Zhang Xi's betrayal would cause, because everything was under control. Neither Wang Hu nor Wang Hu knew.

The intelligence network, this is Dongfang Sheng's greatest strength, and it is also one of his biggest hole cards.

Dongfang Sheng doesn't want to share this secret with anyone for the time being, once the hole card is shared with others, it will no longer be true.

With the information network, Dongfang Sheng still wants to get something, but he has no idea for the time being. It is very difficult to make things that are very common in later generations in this era, such as stirrups. At least for now, Dongfang Sheng only Wood can be used instead of iron for secrecy.

Damn, getting out the stirrups was exhausting. I gave back my math to the teacher, not to mention chemistry and physics.Dongfang Sheng looked at the wooden stirrups on the table and sighed inwardly. It really is true that the books are only used when they are used.

But it was too late to sigh at this time. When Dongfang Sheng was studying, he often skipped classes. He folded his textbooks into paper airplanes and played with some other small animals. He was beaten up by the old man because of him.

"Senior Brother, try this stirrup to see if it works!" Dongfang Sheng came back to his senses and said to Zhao Yun, "With this thing, our cavalry is probably going to dominate."

Zhao Yun held a pair of wooden stirrups excitedly, as if the pair of wooden stirrups were extremely noble things. Although Dongfang Youcai didn't understand it, he could feel the meaning of it.

"Wang Hu, take the brothers from the Feiying Camp to seal it off." Dongfang Sheng didn't want the things to be stolen by others before they were released.

"Here!"

Wang Hu took the order to leave, with a look of anger on his face, obviously he would not let idlers approach the test site.

Dongfang Sheng was also a little excited. After all, this was his first meaningful invention here. Of course, Dongfang Sheng didn’t think plagiarism was a crime, because a clever plagiarist took other people’s things as his own, and he was better than the real one. The Lord needs to be upright.

Zhao Yun carefully hung the stirrups on both sides of the saddle, and then turned on the horse beautifully.

Shooting arrows with a bow, all in one go, Zhao Yun still didn't slow down when he was about to slow down, but jumped over.

Do!
The arrow was stably and accurately inserted into the red heart of the target.

Zhao Yun didn't stop, the long knife in his hand had already started to swing.

Slash left and right.

The scarecrow's head began to fly, usually only people with extremely superb riding skills can do this, but seeing Zhao Yun's relaxed appearance, Dongfang Sheng felt that he could do it too.
