The galloping horse is not afraid of the galloping horse.
Ma's family is famous in Xiliang, and Ma Chao has a quarter of Qiang people's blood and is proficient in horse control. I can see his body low on the horse's back, with the ups and downs of the horse up and down, no matter how the horse up and down, but it has never been able to throw Ma Chao from his body.
"Kneel down!"
Ma Chao's body sank suddenly with a big drink. The horse was so heavy that he couldn't help hissing. He jumped up and down to get rid of Ma Chao, but it was useless.
Finally, the horse suddenly stopped, probably tired, and finally convinced Ma Chao.
"Hum, that's about it." Ma Chao chuckled and suddenly tightened the reins.
"Drive!"
Ma Chao's horse gave a long hiss, then galloped out, trampling on the ground with four hooves.
Ha! The hard horseshoe fell heavily on the ground, and immediately crushed a scattered gravel into powder. Ma Chao rode his horse for a quarter of an hour, then turned a corner and ran to the place where Liu Ye and others were.
"Hoo ~" Ma Chao pulled the reins and the horse stopped.
"Well, Meng Qi." Liu Ye asked, "how do you feel after adding horseshoes?"
"It feels good." Ma Chao said with a smile: "the horses seem to be more calm when they gallop. It seems that the horseshoe is really a good thing."
Oh, it's delicious.
Liu Ye make complaints about his horseshoes, but he is quite satisfied with the horseshoe. The horseshoe has the effect of increasing the grip, so it will naturally be more steady when running.
"Well, we need to increase production these days and add horseshoes to as many horses as possible." Liu Ye turns to the middle-aged blacksmith and says, "try to make as many horseshoes as possible these days. I will try my best to arrange the soldiers to help you install them. After that, all the blacksmiths will give you two meters and ten stones and five pieces of silk. Is there a problem?"
Hearing that the reward was so generous, the middle-aged blacksmith said with great joy: "the general is kind-hearted. Naturally, we have no problem. We must make it with our heart."
"Well, how many horseshoes can you make in three days?" Liu Ye inquires.
The middle-aged blacksmith pondered for a while and replied, "report to the general that there are only dozens of blacksmiths in the camp now. Even if the blacksmith is fully powered, it is estimated that at most 2000 will be made."
"Two thousand, that's 500 horses." Liu Ye nodded: "pour also enough."
"All right, you go down and work hard." Liu Ye ordered: "these 500 horses should choose the most powerful one in the camp."
"No
See dozens of blacksmiths into the hot work, Liu Ye nodded.
But Ma Dai, who has a steady personality, is coming together.
"Well, Zhonghua, what's the matter?"
"General, Dai has doubts." Ma Daichen reported: "this horseshoe is indeed a useful thing, and it is very helpful to enhance the fighting power of our cavalry. But does the general want to win with this horseshoe? "
All the other generals in the army also recovered from their excitement and looked at Liu Ye with puzzled eyes.
This horseshoe is indeed successful, and it is conducive to reducing the wear and tear of horses and improving stability. However, this improvement is limited after all. It is impossible to defeat the enemy with only 2000 horseshoes.
Liu Ye showed a confident smile: "of course not."
Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa!
Liu Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile, "bring it up."
A burst of war horse long hissing sound suddenly sounded, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhao Yun and other generals couldn't help looking at the direction of the sound source.
Guan Hai came with a horse, which surprised all the generals in Liangzhou army and discussed with each other.
The two horses were wrapped in the armor from the back to the bottom of the horse's body. The armored horse seems to have come out of the gate of hell, revealing a powerful momentum.
The armored horse snorted, raised its hooves and planed the ground.
"Is this?" Zhao Yun frowns, he has been in Hebei for such a long time, but has never seen such a horse. Don't you think it's too heavy to load the horses?
"Gentlemen." Liu Ye said, "you should all know about the military parade of the late emperor in Pingle temple during the Zhongping period?"
When the Yellow turban rebellion broke out, it swept across the eight states with great momentum. In order to calm down the chaos as soon as possible, the Emperor Ling ordered all localities to recruit troops on their own. As a result, the powerful and powerful supported the troops and respected themselves. After the Yellow turban rebellion was pacified, in order to ease his inner uneasiness, Emperor Ling ordered a grand military parade in Pingle Temple of Luoyang.
Liu Ye, along with Huang Fusong, Lu Zhi, general He Jin and others, participated in the Pingle Temple military parade. Tens of thousands of northern troops of the Han Dynasty were arrayed in an array, which was very powerful. The northern army was the central army of the Han Dynasty. Although emperor Hanling enriched his money by selling official gruel, he was very concerned about the construction of the northern army because of the Yellow turban rebellion, so his military appearance was powerful.What impresses Liu Ye most is his thousand armour riding gear.
It's the so-called heavy cavalry!
Armour riding equipment, that is, the whole body of armored horses. At that time, there were a thousand armored horses in a formation, and a thousand armored horses stood still in place, which was in line with the essence of "immobility like a mountain" in the art of war. It was really like a mountain standing in the same place.
When ye is ready to ride a thousand flags, he will be in charge.
Boom!
A thousand armour riding gear galloped out, like a moving mountain galloping on the earth. The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, making a roaring sound like thunder. Rows of armour and riding gear rushed fiercely and seemed to tear all obstacles in front of them into pieces. No matter what kind of army it was, it would be broken into powder under the iron hooves of armour riding gear!
Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo mastered all the troops and horses in Luoyang after he entered the capital. However, the 1000 pairs of horse armor were not used, but were hidden in Jinyong city of Luoyang. After knowing that the Wuhuan cavalry was coming, Liu Ye pondered all day how to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry.
After thinking about it, he hit his idea on the body of his armour. So he wrote a letter and ordered Xun you to turn the horse armor out of Jinyong city and send it to Ye City by express boat day and night.
Heavy cavalry, equivalent to the ancient tank, and more flexible than the spring and autumn and Warring States chariots.
