Chapter 27 Conquering Gao Lan (please click to subscribe)
Outside Ye City, in the barracks.

After subduing Gao Lan, Yuan Shao followed suit and handed over the task of suppressing the bandits to him.

In addition, he was given command of [-] soldiers and horses.

However, Yuan Tan had other ideas about the plan for the [-] troops.

"3 cavalry, [-] infantry, plus the eldest son's [-] troops from the headquarters, a total of [-] people are here. Please ask the eldest son to inspect!"

Jiang Qi's royal horse came galloping from the other end of the barracks, dismounted, and reported to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan nodded slightly, "Thanks for your hard work, General Jiang Qi. Besides, have the things I asked General Jiang Qi to prepare been complete?"

Jiang Qi's expression was a little strange, but he still nodded, turned around and waved.

Several soldiers commanded three rather heavy carriages and drove out of the city.

At this time, Gao Lan also happened to be coming from the city. He came all the way on horseback, and was quite curious about the caravan.

At first, I thought it was a caravan from some other company, but I didn't expect it to be under Yuan Tan's command.

Come here now out of curiosity,
"Eldest son, General Jiang Qi, what is this?"

Jiang Qi also shook his head blankly, all he knew was that these three carriages were ordered by Yuan Tan.

Let him summon the blacksmiths in the city to make a secret weapon, but what is the effect?

Jiang Qi also didn't understand at all.

Yuan Tan smiled knowingly, got on his horse, came to a carriage, and grabbed a small wooden box with one hand.

Although the wooden box is small, it is quite heavy, weighing a full ten kilograms.

But in Yuan Tan's hands, it was like a feather. He picked it up lightly and threw it on the ground.

With a click, the wooden box was shaken open, revealing the contents inside.

Gao Lan leaned over curiously, took a look, but was even more confused.

Those were four crescent-shaped iron plates, and a set of stirrup-like objects.

However, stirrups are generally single-sided, but this is two leather rings strung together.

Don't talk about Gao Lan, even Jiang Qi, who has seen these things, wants to ask if the eldest son is messing around again.

Although these things are light and handy, because it is the first time for the blacksmith to make them, it is quite troublesome to say the least.

The four crescent-shaped iron plates are made of pure iron, and a set of four is not worth much.

But the eldest son made 1 of them!

To be honest, if Yuan Tan hadn't shown amazing strength and talent one after another before.

Jiang Qi wanted to disobey orders a long time ago.

But even now, whether Jiang Qi or Gao Lan, they still don't trust these things.

"Ding, Jiang Qi has doubts about your IQ and ability, experience value +199"

"Ding, Gao Lan has doubts about your IQ and ability, experience value +199"

Hearing the system prompt, Yuan Tan pouted helplessly.

Pointing to the wooden box, he said, "The two generals, do you know why I have not enough cavalry in the land of Youyan in Hebei?"

Gao Lan immediately replied,

"Is the eldest son testing us? No one in Hebei knows that the horses are good, but they are consumed very quickly!"

Jiang Qi also said with concern,
"That's right. It's not easy for a cavalry unit to become an army. Ten thousand cavalry began to train. After forming an army, there will be at least three thousand cavalry. The horses are worn out due to training, so they can no longer go into battle."

"Not to mention, if a cavalryman goes through a major battle, even if there are no casualties, the loss of the horse alone will be nearly [-]%."

Speaking of this, Gao Lan suddenly realized, looking at the wooden box, a gleam flashed in his eyes,
"Could it be that the eldest son..."

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and took out the crescent-shaped iron piece, which is the horseshoe of later generations.

"That's right, the horse's wear and tear is serious, because the horse's hoof is not protected, and this thing, I call it a horseshoe."

"Come on!"

Yuan Tan waved his hand to summon a military craftsman, handed him the horseshoe, and asked him to lead a war horse.

"Go, nail these four iron pieces to the horse's shoe!"

The craftsman had been trained by Yuan Tan before, and he was quite skilled in his movements. Soon, he nailed the horseshoe of a war horse.

Seeing the scene in front of them, both Jiang Qi and Gao Lan showed shock in their eyes.

The principle of this horseshoe is actually not difficult to understand, just like people need shoes to protect their feet.

The horseshoe is to put on a pair of shoes for the war horse!
But unfortunately, no one thought of this before, but the eldest son thought of it!
Gao Lan and Jiang Qi looked at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts.

Their big son, what a prodigal dude, is simply a genius!
After seeing the effectiveness of the horseshoe, Gao Lan and Jiang Qi became even more curious about the properties of the strange stirrup.

"My lord, what is this? Could it be that it was put on a horseshoe like a horseshoe?"

Yuan Tan smiled mysteriously,
"This thing is called Yuan's Stirrup. With this thing, it is enough to increase the strength of the cavalry by more than ten times!"

After hearing this, Jiang Qi and Gao Lan's eyes, which were quite convinced, suddenly darkened.

Well, the eldest son started blowing water again.

However, Jiang Qi and Gao Lan no longer despised Yuan Tan as before.

So they didn't jump face on the spot.

Jiang Qi smiled coyly, then cupped his hands and said, "The men, horses and weapons that the eldest son wanted have already been delivered, so I will take my leave first."

Yuan Tan saw Jiang Qi's thoughts, but he didn't care, instead he said with a smile,

"Why, General Jiang Qi, aren't you going to see the amazing use of my stirrup again?"

Jiang Qi resisted the desire to jump in the face, with a smirk on his face, "Hehe, no need, it's better for the general to return to his life first."

Then he gave Gao Lan a sympathetic look, working under this unreliable young master, you have to suffer!
Gao Lan returned with a desperate look, watched Jiang Qi gallop away, and then looked at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan laughed,
"General Gao Lan, do you think I'm joking, just like General Jiang Qi?"

Gao Lan smiled and cupped his hands, "How could the general have such an idea?"

Yuan Tan put the stirrups on the horseshoeed horse, and said lightly,
"I have nothing to prove. It's normal for General Gao Lan not to believe it, so please give it a try!"

After hearing this, Gao Lan also thought about it, and immediately got on his horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, Gao Lan's disdainful thoughts changed suddenly!
The previous stirrups were all unilateral and could only be used to mount a horse and had no other function.

When controlling the horse, the cavalry must also retain their physical strength at all times. At critical moments, they must use their hands to control the horse so as not to lose control.

Therefore, even the Wuhuan and Huns on the grassland, only a very small number of elites can rely on their waist strength.

Realize that you can successfully control the horse without using your hands, and achieve the point of riding and shooting!
But now, with this Yuan's stirrup, you can free your hands right away.

Even ordinary cavalry without special training can gallop while galloping!

"drive!"

Gao Lan took a deep breath, pinched the horse with both legs, and the horse galloped out with a long cry.

And he suddenly drew the bow and arrow behind his back, opened the bow with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot out the arrow!
Whoosh, hit the bullseye!

You know, Gao Lan's shooting skills are not very good.

At best, they are better than ordinary soldiers.

But with this horse, Gao Lan is confident.

Even if the eagle shooter of the Huns comes, he can also shoot with him calmly, without losing the wind!

"General's sharp shot!"

Seeing this, the soldiers in the barracks all cheered.

Gao Lan, on the other hand, cast his gaze on Yuan Tan who was standing in front of all the soldiers, and got off his horse.

bow to the ground.

"The eldest son is indeed a genius in the world, and he will be subdued by the end!"

"Ding! You have received the loyal respect of the famous general Gao Lan, and the experience value is +9999!"
