Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

The attack has been launched, but there is still no one on the other side...

Like the silent god of death, the silent reaper of life!

This kind of discipline, coordination, combat effectiveness... the leading general can instantly determine which army the opponent is!

It was also after judging that the opponent was the Yingchuan Army that the tone of the leading general was full of despair.

……

At the same time, Xianyang Palace is also very lively.

People from all corners of the country kept rushing into Xianyang Palace, but they were killed one by one under the rain of countless arrows.

At this time, in Xianyang Palace, Fusu and Gao Jing stood side by side at the door, looking at the scene of arrows flying outside.

Fusu couldn't help sighing: "Why do these people from Jiang Hu risk their lives to rush in when they know they are dead?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "Everyone has the mentality of following the crowd...the dead soldiers arranged by them will take the lead in charging, even if the other Jiang Hu people are afraid, they will follow subconsciously at this time.

With so many people rushing together, if they are lucky enough to rush in, they will be famous all over the world! "

Fusu suddenly realized, sighed again, and said: "General Zhang Han, arrest people!"

Zhang Han quietly appeared, cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

Chapter 240 Seventh Cavalry

Jiuyuan County is a well-known holy place for raising horses.

The reason why Li Mu was transferred to be the governor of Jiuyuan County was to form the cavalry again.

When the emperor's chariot arrived at Jiuyuan City, the county seat of Jiuyuan County, Li Mu had already been waiting outside the city with his cavalry.

"Emperor ten thousand years!"

Ying Zheng rarely left the car, walked over to help Li Mu, then looked at the cavalry behind him, and said with satisfaction: "They are all capable soldiers, Aiqing has worked hard!"

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, without the support of the emperor and Duke Jing, there would be no such cavalry."

"what?"

Ying Zheng was looking at the horses beside the cavalry when he suddenly noticed something and asked in surprise, "Why are there two stirrups?"

At this time, the stirrups were all single-sided stirrups, which were used for people to use their strength to get on the horse, not a harness that could be used for riding.

Therefore, when riding a war horse, the knight needs to lie on the horse's back and use the strength of his legs to clamp the horse's belly, so as to avoid being thrown off while the war horse is galloping.

This is the biggest test that the knights of the present world have to face, and it is also the most difficult part of training cavalry.

Li Mu couldn't help laughing, and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, this is Duke Jing's invention... As for the effect, the Emperor may try it himself!"

Ying Zheng was moved immediately, and said, "Let the horse!"

Li Mu immediately brought his horse over and said: "This horse has been tamed by the minister, and its temperament is docile."

Ying Zheng stepped forward, reached out and touched the horse's head, then the horse's mane, and then touched the horse's mouth. Sure enough, the horse just snorted and didn't resist at all.

Only then did Ying Zheng step on the stirrup, turn over and leap onto the horse's back.

"color!"

Li Mu couldn't help shouting, Ying Zheng mounted the horse skillfully and smoothly, which shows that his riding skills are quite good.

The cavalrymen behind them cheered in unison.

Knowing how to ride a horse in this era is really an amazing skill.

Even among the generals who have fought all the year round, few can ride horses, and most of them still drive chariots.

Even many ordinary people have never seen a horse.

And Ying Zhenggui is the emperor, and he is actually quite good at riding. It can be said that this move alone can win the hearts of all the cavalry.

Harness, that is, an auxiliary device that is convenient for riding a horse, first appeared in the Central Plains in the State of Zhao. After the transformation of Hufu riding and shooting in the State of Zhao, war horses were officially used as cavalry for combat riding.

Therefore, Zhao Guo independently designed the harness for this kind of riding war horse. In addition to the bridle and rein that had already appeared, he also improved the "horse々‖ saddle".

Of course, the "saddle" of Zhao State was only improved by imitating the horse pads of the Hu cavalry. The main purpose was not for combat, but to allow the cavalry to ride on the horseback a little more comfortably.

But when Ying Zheng got on the horse at this time, he felt obviously different.

The saddle, which is high at both ends and low in the middle, locks Yingzheng on the horse's back just right. Even a runner on a war horse will not be easily knocked off the horse's back.

The biggest problem in riding a war horse is to stabilize the body and firmly attach to the horse's back during the galloping period of the war horse. Otherwise, you will be thrown out, fall into a coma, or even fall to your death or injury on the spot.

And to be attached to the horse's back, the cavalry must tighten their legs to the horse's belly, and the whole person lies on the horse's back. The bumps during riding caused the body to constantly rub against the clothes and the back of the horse, so that the skin finally broke and was dripping with blood.

The saddle solves this problem very well.

Ying Zheng knew how to ride a naked horse, so he realized the importance of the saddle almost instantly, and couldn't help laughing and said, "This saddle must also be Jing Chun's masterpiece, right?"

Li Mu nodded, and said: "It is from the hands of Duke Jing... The emperor can try to put his feet on the stirrups."

Ying Zheng did as he did, and when he stepped on the stirrups, his face suddenly changed, and his legs exerted force...

He actually stood up on horseback.

"Bow!"

Ying Zheng looked serious and stretched out his hand.

Li Mu had already prepared to hand over the bow and arrow.

Ying Zheng stood up on the stirrups, freed his hands, and drew the bow and arrow.

Opening a bow on horseback requires extremely high riding and archery skills. Even the old cavalry pawns of Yanmen Pass in Zhao State back then could not do much.

As for the hit rate... don't mention it!

Ying Zheng didn't shoot the arrow, but exchanged the bow for a bow. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fortunately, the Xiongnu didn't invent this thing first!"

Li Mu said respectfully: "The emperor sees it clearly! Duke Jing told me about these two things very early on, and he also repeatedly emphasized that before the cavalry has reached a large scale, it cannot be used without authorization!

Now there are 15 cavalry in Jiuyuan, and it is only then that I promote this kind of harness in the army. "

Ying Zheng breathed out, and said, "..."Jing Chun is thoughtful."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Duke Jing mentioned the matter of the post station back then, and it needs to wait for the cavalry to be formed before it can be implemented... Presumably it has something to do with this kind of horse gear."

Ying Zheng was stunned, and said: "If all the horses are fitted with this kind of harness, and with a little training, everyone will be a rider... In the future, whether it is official documents, letters, or news, the speed will be much faster."

"exactly."

Li Mudao: "It's just that the implementation of the post station requires a lot of horses... It just so happens that the Xiongnu is about to move, and I am confident that I will get enough horses for the empire in one battle!"

"The chains are intertwined, and Jing Chun's wisdom can be seen."

Ying Zheng laughed, and said: "Sure enough, as Jing Chun guessed, they really colluded with the Xiongnu... Come, follow me into the city!"

As he said that, he did not dismount from the horse, and let Li Mu lead the horse, while Ying Zheng entered Jiuyuan City on the horse's back.

(of King Zhao)

……

Xianyang Palace.

The rain of arrows filled the air, and people kept landing, but finally some people rushed through the rain of arrows and arrived at the inner square of the palace.

However, the rain of arrows is only the end of the first line of defense.

Here in the square is the second line of defense.

The mechanism beast made by the public loser's overbearing mechanism technique is on the square, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Holding a huge sword, the strong man covered in tattoos landed on the ground, and before he had time to react, he was sent flying by the mechanism beast, smashing the ground heavily, and falling into the gravel.

"Chen Sheng from the farm?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "I didn't expect him to dare to come."

Fu Su asked curiously, "Teacher knows him?"

Gao Jing nodded, and said: "At the beginning in Sanchuan County, the farmer Xia Kui brought him and two other hall masters to assassinate me, I captured them, and later released them."

Fu Su was taken aback: "Why?"

Chapter 240 Eighth Jiuyuan City

Why did you let Chen Sheng go?

Faced with Fusu's question, Gao Jing explained: "There are two reasons, one is that he is still useful, he has a deep hatred with the head of the farm family, and only when he is alive can the farm family fight among themselves.

Another reason is that he has something to do with a scheme of Mr. Changping. "

Fusu was silent for a moment, then said: "It's Lord Changping again... he's dead, what else is he planning?"

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's good for you, so I don't care."

Fusu froze for a moment, and didn't delve into it, but looked towards the side hall.

The night sky there was a fiery red, clearly on fire.

Gao Jing also looked at the fiery red night sky, sighed, and said, "The national teacher has also started to act."

Fusu's tone was a little low, and said: "Teacher, do you know why the father is like this? Brother 21 is still a child!"

"Forehead……"

Gao Jingwei: "It's not easy to explain... I can only say that your 21st brother does not have royal blood."

"how is this possible?"

Fusu blurted out in surprise, and looked at Gao Jing in disbelief: "Teacher, what's going on?"

Gao Jing sighed, and said: "When Yuliang was presented to the emperor, he was already pregnant... This matter involves the emperor's face, so let's not talk about it, son, just pretend that there is no 21st brother."

Fusu looked hesitant, obviously wanting to ask further. 760

"Don't worry, I told the national teacher that I won't kill him."

After Gao Jing said something, he changed the subject and said, "Listen, Xianyang is in chaos!"

Fusu's spirit was shaken, and he listened carefully, and he heard the exclamation from outside the palace.
