Chapter 54 Horse Harness Three-piece Set

There is nothing special about the north of Xianyang, just jungle.

But if it is the north of Da Qin, then there is a ferocious and cruel wild wolf hidden!

Huns!

Although two years ago, in the 32nd year of the First Emperor, the Xiongnu were driven out of the Hetao area by Qin general Meng Tian and were forced to escape to the barren Mobei grassland.

But this vicious wolf's brutal claws never broke.

Almost every year, they go crazy and go south
The reason why Great Qin built the Great Wall on the border, and the reason why Meng Tian led an army of 30 to guard it, was to prevent these beasts from going south to plunder!

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Ying Zheng shook his head and directly denied this ridiculous idea without waiting for Cui Yuan to explain.

"Not to mention that there are Donghu and Da Yueshi around the Xiongnu. Just talking about their nomadic lifestyle, our Daqin army cannot lock them down."

"This feather is indeed brave, but if it cannot be locked, it is just a covered fly."

Although he also wanted to destroy the Xiongnu immediately and completely liberate the Northern Army of Qin.

But the cruel facts were before his eyes, and he really couldn't ignore them.

In his opinion, even if the right time, place and people were present, it would take at least a hundred years for Da Qin to destroy the Xiongnu!
It is impossible to end grudges by personal strength alone. This is a protracted tug-of-war!
"Uncle Ming, bring up the three models I made a few days ago!"

Cui Yuan did not refute, but vowed and asked Wang Daming to bring three strange-shaped pieces of wood.

Some of them are curved, and some are like cushions, but without exception, they are all creations that no one has ever seen before.

Cui Yuan waited until everyone's eyes were on him and observed carefully before he opened his mouth to explain.

"Their names are horseshoes, double stirrups and high bridge saddles respectively. In later generations, their names were also called three-piece harnesses."

Although he has been drunkenly dreaming about these things, Cui Yuan still has not fallen behind on what he should do.

Research on blast furnace ironmaking takes a lot of time, and it is still early for iron tools to appear in the true sense.

But it is very simple to make a three-piece harness.

In order to continue the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu must be destroyed!

"Of these three items, horseshoes are used to protect the horse's soles and prolong the life of the horse."

"The bilateral stirrups and high-bridge saddles are installed on the horse's back to free up the cavalry's hands and allow them to fight with weapons in both hands."

"The combination of the three, plus Commander Xiang Yu who created the Battle of Julu, can take our Great Qin's cavalry strength to a higher level!"

Take it to the next level?

Ying Zheng pondered, staring at the three wooden models.

He looked at Wang Jian beside him again, who nodded solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I think Cui Xiaoyou didn't lie to us."

"Let's not mention that he has no need to hide it at all, let's just talk about this three-piece equestrian suit."

"Although it's just a wooden model, it looks like it fits the horses very well and can greatly improve the mobility of the cavalry."

"but……"

Having said this, Wang Jian paused, lightly tapped the wooden model of the horseshoe with his arm, and then continued:
"The factors that determine the outcome of a war are not only the leading equipment and the strength of the generals, but also more important things - logistics and timing!"

"The simplest thing is, little friend Cui, how do you confirm the time when the Huns went south?"

"How can we determine when is the most appropriate time for Great Qin to send troops to Mobei?"

His eyes were serious, hiding a hint of amusement.

It was like the look in the eyes of a later generation teacher who was deliberately posing a difficult problem to the child and wanted to see if the child could answer it.In fact, for Cui Yuan, even if there were no spoilers about the Battle of Julu today, just the kindness of saving him before was enough to convince Wang Jian from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention, when he faked his death, he saw all the living beings of Great Qin in the latter's body.

If there really is such a person in this world, he can lead Da Qin to break the fate of history.

Then he is definitely Cui Yuan!

"Senior Wang, you are worthy of being called upon!"

"Every problem is hidden away!"

Feeling the fiery gazes of Ying Zheng and Wang Jian, Cui Yuan looked helpless: "But I do know the answer."

"Oh!"

Their eyes lit up, and Wang Ben and Wang Li silently came closer.

"Let's first talk about how to confirm the time when the Huns went south."

"This problem is indeed difficult to grasp, but it is not completely irregular."

"Just a few decades later in Hanwen... ahem... the soldiers stationed on the border discovered the time when the Huns were heading south after a long struggle."

"That is to rely on natural laws to graze in the spring, and wait until winter. Once the food is insufficient, they will go south."

"Wang Li, am I right?"

With that said, Cui Yuan looked at Wang Li, the only person present who had been to the Great Wall.

When the latter heard this, his eyes showed shock at the same moment.

"It's true...it's true!"

Wang Li sweated on his forehead.

Frankly speaking, he had never thought about this before. When the Huns attack, doesn't it all depend on their mood?
But now after Cui Yuan reminded him, he suddenly realized that all this seemed to be true!
Every winter, especially severe winter, the Huns would basically go south in large numbers!
That crazy look, as if he never thought about going back alive!

"Then when is the most suitable time for Da Qin to send troops?" Wang Jian asked.

After getting Wang Li's confirmation, he couldn't bear it anymore.

As the military god of the Qin Dynasty, he dreamed of annihilating the Xiongnu in his lifetime.

Even if he can't do it, I hope Wang Ben or Wang Li can do it!
"When can we attack the Huns and inflict a devastating blow on them?"

Wang Jian was extremely excited, and Cui Yuan snickered in his heart.

At this age, ordinary people basically want to enjoy their old age. Who would have thought that Wang Jian would still be so eager for war?
Perhaps, this is the reason why he was able to distinguish himself from Bai Qi, survive after becoming famous, and become the Great Qin Army God.

"spring!"

“Especially in the spring after a severe drought!”

Cui Yuan simply gave the answer: "Perhaps in your eyes, the weather is determined by various gods and changes unpredictably."

"But in the future, weather will be a completely well-studied natural phenomenon."

"Just like the coast of Daqin, the reason why the weather is always good and the food production is high is because the monsoons coming from the depths of the ocean bring heavy rainfall."

"In the same way, the wind from the depths of the ocean can bring rain that nourishes all things, so the wind from the ice and snow in the north can naturally bring the cold that freezes everything."

"So every time there is a severe drought, rain or snow in the Qin Dynasty, can you imagine the situation in the grasslands in the north?"

"so!"

Wang Jian's eyes burst into light!
"What you mean is - take advantage of his illness and kill him!"
