Great Qin Emperor

chapter 161

Chapter 13 Zhou Chong Lun Bing ([-])

"Your Majesty, please get on the horse." Zhou Chong tidied up the horses and asked the King of Qin to get on the horse and experience it.

This war horse is very different from previous war horses. The main differences are that firstly, it has stirrups, secondly, it is nailed with horseshoes, and thirdly, it is equipped with a full set of weapons needed for cavalry combat. the difference.

At that time, the cavalry had no stirrups, no horseshoes, and the cavalry mainly used riding and shooting. The main weapons were bows and arrows, and swords and halberds were rarely used.The cavalry built by Zhou Chong is not only equipped with Liannu, but also has spears and ring swords. It can be said that the cavalry has entered a new era.

The battle plan for the Battle of Zhao is very bold. The most daring thing is that Zhou Chong proposed to use cavalry to attack Handan. Therefore, the use of cavalry will be the key to the success of this operation. Therefore, King Qin took time out of his busy schedule to experience it. What is the difference between the cavalry built by Zhou Chong and the past.

War makes people blood boil, but it is often painful for the emperor. The pain is that it will involve most of his energy and time. time and energy.Even under such circumstances, he still took the time to come to experience cavalry, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

King Qin didn't get on the horse right away, but took the reins in his hand, looked at the horse carefully, nodded and said: "A good horse looks at the horse's hoof. The horse's hoof of this horse must have been repaired. It looks good. Mr. Zhou thought that the horse's shoe should be good." Use." He touched the stirrup with his right hand, and then pulled it hard, saying: "It's very strong, this is a good idea. With this stirrup, riding on the horse is like standing on flat ground. It can strengthen the upper back, and it will be more powerful when slashing. Zhao Gao, bring me the armor of the widow."

Zhou Chong once again fell in love with King Qin's insight. King Qin saw the benefits before riding a horse. No wonder people in later generations lamented that King Qin was not from the Qin Dynasty. His thinking was very advanced and far surpassed that of the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry out so many changes, and his influence will continue to influence after more than 2000 years.

Zhao Gao responded, and hurriedly brought King Qin's golden helmet and armor, and helped him put it on.

King Qin said while dressing up: "Mr. Liaozi, Han Fei, Li Si, Wang Ao, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng, you all go over and have a look, and take a good look at Mr. Zhou's masterpiece. Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, you two Don't join in the fun, you watch it every day, do you still need to watch it again? Give the place to others."

Wei Liao and the others responded, gathered around to look at the war horses, and looked at them very carefully. Looking at their appearance, they were not looking at the war horses, as if they were art lovers appreciating the masterpieces of art masters.This horse is very common in modern society. If someone in modern society observes like them and expresses their approval from time to time, they will definitely be regarded as mentally abnormal.

Meng Tian and Wang Ben were going to fight with Zhou Chong, so they knew the changes of the horses very well, Qin Wang didn't want them to see it, and they said together: "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to see it, but I want to explain it to them. "

The king of Qin said happily: "If you want to join in the fun, you just want to join in the fun, and you have to find so many reasons. I will tell you that the cavalry Mr. Zhou built for Daqin must be great, but no one is allowed to be happy. I will be happy after the battle is over. Come on, my widow Get on the horse." Stepping on the stirrup, Zhao Gao hurriedly pushed him on the buttocks, turned on the horse, and said, "Bring it here." Zhao Gao hurriedly handed over the crossbow, spear, and ring-head knife.

The ring head knife first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty and was designed for the convenience of cavalry.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, improvements were made, the body of the knife was widened, and the head of the knife was changed from a diagonal square to a sharp front and a rear slope, which was more suitable for actual combat.What Zhou Chong designed was the Huan Shou Dao of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This kind of sword has hardly changed in later generations, and it can be considered as finalized.

Put the spear on the weapon hook, hang up the ring knife, pick up the crossbow, shout and drive, and the horse gallops out.From a distance, he shot fiercely at the archery target. As soon as the arrow was shot, he picked up the spear, pointed the spear forward, shouted "kill", and rushed away.Like lightning, the spear pierced the straw man, and the straw man fell to the ground.The King of Qin threw away his spear, drew out the ring-headed knife, held it high in the air, and galloped towards the wooden man. Under the sunlight, a dazzling light of the knife flashed, and with a click, the wooden man cut him in two, and praised: "Good knife."

The king of Qin was tall, strong, and skilled in swordsmanship, which was also an important reason why the peerless swordsman Jing Ke failed to assassinate him.Although Jing Ke's swordsmanship is excellent, King Qin's swordsmanship is not inferior to him, so when Jing Ke only had a dagger and King Qin's long sword in hand, Jing Ke was chopped into pulp for King Qin.

This wooden man was for the cavalry to practice chopping. It was strong and tough. It was actually split in two by the King of Qin, which shows how strong he is. Everyone applauded in unison, "What strength!"

After this gallop, King Qin's muscles and bones were active, and he was very happy. He waved the ring knife, screamed to kill, and the pegasus aimed at another wooden figure. Where the knife flashed, the wooden figure split him in two. .The King of Qin chopped off five wooden figures in a row, and just now he lost his interest. He came back from the horse, got off the horse, threw the ring head knife to Zhao Gao, and praised: "Mr. Zhou, good!"

It is not easy to get a compliment from King Qin, a person with a very high spirit, and it is even more difficult to get such a heartfelt admiration. With a straight chest, he said condescendingly: "The king has won the prize, Zhou Chong just put in a little effort, how dare he be praised so much by the king."

"It's right, it's right, it's absolutely right." King Qin commented: "Horseshoes are like human shoes. If people don't have shoes, if they step on stones, their feet will hurt. The same reason, there are many broken arrows on the battlefield. There are countless strange stones to break swords. If the horseshoe is not protected, there is no reason why it should not be broken. Although the horseshoe is small, it will definitely play an inestimable role and will definitely promote a revolution. The widow wants to spread the horseshoe , All the horses in the world must be shoed."

King Qin's foresight is really great. Some people evaluate the horseshoe as a revolutionary thing. It is precisely because of the appearance of the horseshoe that it is possible to invest in large-scale cavalry and become the leading force in the war.Zhou Chong would not have been able to appreciate King Qin's ability to comprehend new things, and said: "What the king said is very true. Although the horseshoe is small, it has a great effect. However, Zhou Chong thinks that it is better to postpone the promotion of the horseshoe."

"Oh, if this kind of good thing is not promoted in the world, it will be a failure of Mr. Zhou's ingenuity. If I don't let all the horses be shoed, I will be a fool." King Qin asked curiously: " What do Mr. Zhou think?"
