I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system
Chapter 13 Stirrups, Saddles, and Horseshoes
Cao Hong glanced at it, and immediately sneered disdainfully,
"This is what you call a treasure that can improve the strength of my Han army?
Don't be afraid of being ridiculed by everyone! "
Cao Cao frowned, but his heart was inexplicably unhappy.
After all, Cao Mao was his son.
He can scold, but others can't!
"Please explain to everyone, what is this thing?"
Cao Cao said calmly.
Cao Mao arched his hands, straightened his body, and looked at the people present.
"Uncle Miaocai, you are the best at using cavalry in our army, so my nephew is here to ask you for advice.
How should cavalry be used on the battlefield? "
Everyone originally thought that Cao Mao would explain the function of the metal parts forged in his hands.
Unexpectedly, he changed the conversation and asked Xia Houyuan about cavalry combat.
Xia Houyuan pondered for a moment, then said slowly,
"Cavalry is flexible and powerful, and can be used for support and raids."
"If it's on the frontal battlefield, what's the use of cavalry?"
Cao Mao continued to ask.
"The cavalry can be used as a mobile force to cover the left and right wings.
It can also be placed on the edge of the battlefield and use cavalry to attack the enemy. "
As a general under Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan is good at running for thousands of miles, fighting unexpectedly, and is extremely good at using cavalry.
There was nothing wrong with his words, everyone nodded slightly after hearing it, expressing their agreement with him.
"Uncle Miaocai, why can't the cavalry fight head-on on the battlefield?"
"How could the cavalry fight head-on on the battlefield?"
Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Mao angrily and amusedly.
The current cavalry supported the attack, and most of them rushed to the battle site, and then dismounted to form a team.
Without him.
Because the cavalry cannot maintain balance on horseback, both hands must hold the reins to keep from falling.
This can be said to be known to the world.
When Cao Mao asked such a question, all the generals looked at him with ridicule, feeling more and more that he was ignorant.
But meeting their gazes, Cao Mao was fearless, pointing to the stirrup and saying,
"This thing can help cavalry, keep balance on horseback, and free your hands!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he looked at the stirrup carefully.
Soon he saw the way.
"Maoer, show me!"
Cao Cao urged.
"Yes, father."
Cao Mao beckoned to a soldier and asked him to lead a war horse.
He swiftly fitted the stirrups and saddle on the horse's back.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Mao stepped on the stirrup and easily climbed onto the horse's back.
At the same time, a wooden stake as an imaginary enemy has been erected in the open space opposite.
Cao Mao clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards the stake!
Fortunately, he had been to the prairie in his previous life and had experience of riding a horse.
Cao Mao put his feet between the horse's belly, and the halberd in his hand stabbed horizontally at the wooden post.
With a "click", the halberd pierced the stake.
Cao Mao's body swayed slightly, but he still sat firmly on the horse's back.
He reined in the rein, turned the horse's head, and walked back slowly.
"Father, can this thing increase my military strength?"
Cao Mao asked proudly.
Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan and others on the side all stared straight!
They are all people who are proficient in military affairs. After observing the actual combat just now, they naturally saw the beauty of the stirrups!
It takes a long time of training in this world to get cavalry who are proficient in riding.
And it is not possible to fight on horseback, mostly riding and shooting.
If you have this stirrup, you can save a long training time.
Those soldiers who have no riding skills at all can charge on horseback with a little training.
Most importantly, stirrups can help cavalry fight on horseback.
Just imagine, if Cao Jun's cavalry meets the enemy's cavalry head-on.
The enemy's cavalry units have to dismount and regroup.
But Cao Jun's cavalry can take advantage of the situation to charge and kill, and will not limit their combat effectiveness because they are riding on horseback!
Cao Cao imagined such a picture in his mind, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
Xia Houyuan stepped forward and checked the equipment on the horse.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, pointing to the saddle on the horse's back and the metal objects on the horse's hoof, he said in a deep voice,
"Nephew Cao Mao, what are these two things?"
Cao Mao glanced at it, smiled lightly and said,
"This is a saddle, used as an auxiliary stirrup.
Not only can the position of the cavalry be fixed to prevent slipping from the horseback.
It can also reduce the fatigue of the rider during long-distance marches. "
"And the metal thing on the horse's hoof is called a horseshoe.
It can delay the wear of the horse's hoof, protect the horse's hoof, and make the horse's hoof grip the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial for riding and driving. "
There was light in everyone's eyes.
War horses are extremely cherished in today's world, and it costs money to raise them.
The consumption of one cavalry is worth three infantrymen, and most of them are spent on feeding the horses.
This horseshoe can reduce the wear of the horseshoe, and it can also reduce the loss of the horse.
Correspondingly, it can also reduce the financial burden on the court.
As for the saddle.
Generals like Xia Houyuan have been through the battlefield for a long time, and thick calluses have been worn out on the inside of their legs.
Every time I marched for a long distance, the bones in my body were almost broken.
If there is a saddle, it can greatly reduce the fatigue of the journey.
Xia Houyuan's breathing became rapid.
What Cao Mao presented was not one treasure, but three treasures!
"Prime Minister, if these three things are combined, the strength of the cavalry created will be doubled! It will be several times!"
His face was flushed with excitement, and he looked at Cao Mao with admiration,
"I didn't expect that my nephew Cao Mao was so smart that he could research such a treasure!"
Before everyone came, they didn't pay much attention to Cao Mao, whether it was words or eyes, they were full of contempt.
But now they looked at Cao Mao with fiery eyes.
This son, the future can be expected!
Seeing the frenzied faces of the generals, Cao Ang on the side felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said,
"Father, we're not here to talk about stirrups today, but about Cao Mao's beheading of Cangguan Wang Hou."
Cao Cao came back to his senses and glared at him,
"Of course I know what's going on in my heart, it's not your turn to talk too much!"
Cao Ang was reprimanded, his face was embarrassed, and he was speechless.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Cao Mao's beheading of Wang Hou.
Xia Houyuan coughed lightly,
"Nephew Cao Mao is intelligent and quick-witted. He doesn't seem like someone who violated military orders for no reason. There must be something hidden in it."
Cao Ren added,
"Yes, we must find out carefully, and we can't wrong a good person!"
Cao Ang was dumbfounded.
Something is wrong with this script.
Just now you all suggested that my father kill Cao Mao, why did you change your stance all of a sudden?
Is it because of these broken things?
Cao Ang is not proficient in military affairs, so naturally he doesn't know the significance of the three things, stirrups, horseshoes, and saddles, to cavalry!
Especially the stirrup, its appearance has rewritten the battlefield in the era of cold weapons!
"This is what you call a treasure that can improve the strength of my Han army?
Don't be afraid of being ridiculed by everyone! "
Cao Cao frowned, but his heart was inexplicably unhappy.
