My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1053: The three treasures of the cavalry are the greatest treasures of the Hu bandits! The Hu bandits are endless to kill!
With a heart full of shock, Ying Zhengce immediately walked back to Ying Chengjiao's side.

Although it was his first time using this set of horse harness, Ying Zheng was already familiar with it and easily dismounted by stepping on the stirrup.

Gently patting Gaoqiao's saddle, Ying Zheng praised it repeatedly: "This thing has many disadvantages, but this thing has great advantages!"

"The Six Strategies says: It is important for a rider to know the unusual paths and unusual ways."

"The Sun Bin Art of War also says: Cavalry is the army's waiting staff, so they can follow up on a defeated army, cut off its food supply, and attack the enemy at their convenience."

"We can meet the enemy just as they arrive, we can take advantage of their weak rear, we can chase and attack them in disarray, we can meet the enemy from behind, we can intercept their food supplies, we can destroy their forks and bridges, we can attack their unorganized brigades, we can attack them when they are slack, we can burn their accumulations, and we can plunder their fields."

"The rider is amazing!"

"Of course!"

"With the advantage of the Takahashi saddle and double stirrups, the rider will be more than amazing!"

Before the appearance of high-bridge saddles and double stirrups, knights already had a considerable status on the battlefield, but they were not dominant. All the uses of knights can be summed up in one word: fast!

Use high mobility to quickly reach strategic locations, and then dismount and transform into infantry to complete strategic objectives.

Or they could use their high mobility to create distance and shoot arrows to kill enemy troops and undermine their morale.

War horses are to knights what motorcycles are to motorized infantry; they are merely tools for maneuvering rather than weapons that can improve combat effectiveness.

Except for a very few generals like Xiang Yu who had a strong family background, a large number of elite cavalry and were very good at finding the enemy's weaknesses, almost no one would use knights to fight the enemy head-on.

It was not until the advent of the Takahashi saddle and double stirrups that knights truly became a type of soldier bound to war horses, gaining the ability to break through enemy lines!

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said, "What you said is what I think."

"From now on, knights will no longer be just soldiers on horseback, but can be soldiers who use horses as weapons, just like chariot soldiers."

"In addition, stirrups will make it easier for shorter soldiers to mount horses, and the height requirement for selecting knights will be greatly reduced."

"The Takahashi saddle will save the rider from having to keep his legs together to maintain his posture, and the leg strength required for selecting riders will be greatly reduced."

"The horseshoes will preserve the combat effectiveness of a large number of war horses, increasing the number of war horses in the Qin Empire."

"With these three combined, the number and importance of our Great Qin Knights will increase dramatically."

"It won't be long before knights become an important branch of the army!"

The increase in the number of war horses, the surge in the number of qualified cavalry, and the surge in cavalry combat effectiveness, these three alone are major changes that are enough to rewrite tactics.

When these three are combined together, the chemical reaction they produce will not only directly rewrite the status of cavalry from a strategic level, but will also directly rewrite the national strategy and national strength comparison!

The three treasures of cavalry are worthy of the name!
Ying Zheng's heart surged when he heard this, and he patted Gaoqiao's saddle vigorously: "Good! Good! Very good!"

"These three are all great treasures!"

"My brother really gave me a huge surprise!"

Ying Zheng turned to look at Ying Chengjiao and said, "My brother, please dismiss everyone and only show these three treasures to you with unprecedented caution."

"What are you worried about, Hu Ye?"

Ying Chengjiao said in a complicated voice: "Brother, what you said is correct."

"The Takahashi saddle, stirrup, and horseshoe are the three treasures of a knight."

"But these three treasures are not only the treasures of our Great Qin, but also the treasures of the Hu people!"

"Especially the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrup, which are the most precious treasures of the Hu people!"

"Although these two items are very useful in warfare, they are very easy to manufacture. Even a barbarian who is not good at craftsmanship can easily imitate them."

"Although the barbarians of today rely on their horses to move as fast as the wind, they are too weak to fight in a large battle. They can only harass and kill the enemy with their horseback archery. Once they are intercepted and besieged by our Chinese soldiers, they will be killed in an instant."

"But if the Hu bandits get these two items, then all the Hu bandits' soldiers will be able to attack, fight hard, and fight head-on!"

"Although we have good horses in the Great Qin, the number of good horses, the places where the horses are grazed, the quality of the horses, and the men who ride them are all inferior to those of the barbarians."

"The knights' fighting power has soared. This is good for our Great Qin, but it is most beneficial to the Hu bandits!"

"Brother, I have to worry."

Ying Chengjiao expressed his biggest concern.

The three treasures of cavalry are indeed treasures, but as I said before, technology needs to serve politics, and only technology that is beneficial to political demands is good technology!
The difficulty for farming and nomadic groups to obtain food means that in times of war when supplies are scarce, the average physical fitness of farming groups will be better than that of nomadic groups.

Why should a person who is chronically hungry be stronger than a person who occasionally has enough to eat? !

Therefore, in infantry combat situations, the average individual combat effectiveness of nomadic groups is completely incomparable to that of farming groups.

Before the three treasures of cavalry came into being, it was natural for one Han to defeat five Barbarians.

Li Mu, despite being at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, launched a counter-encirclement against the Hu bandits with 160,000 troops, and after the encirclement was closed, he killed more than 100,000 Hu bandits in one battle! Qin Kai and other generals also performed equally well against the Hu bandits.

During this era, the Chinese countries were never worried about how to kill the Hu bandits, but how to find the Hu bandits who came and went like the wind, and how to surround them before they could maneuver and move. Once these two problems were solved, killing the Hu bandits would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

But when the Cavalry Three Treasures came out, the situation changed.

The number of horses owned, the growth rate, the iteration speed, the breeding accuracy, and the number of young and strong people who are good at riding horses by the northern nomadic groups are all beyond the reach of the farming groups. The more equipment the cavalry has, the more tactics the cavalry has, the more important the cavalry is, and the stronger the cavalry's combat effectiveness, the greater the war advantage of the northern nomadic groups.

It can be said that the three treasures of cavalry are one of the key factors in changing the offensive and defensive momentum of farming groups and nomadic groups!

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to give you a great gift."

"This is also a big problem for you, brother!"

"If you don't use such a precious treasure, your life will be wasted."

"If you use it, you should use it as a sharp weapon to kill the enemy and take the lives of my young men!"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

"My brother has been making this thing for a long time, so he should have given it a lot of thought. Do you have any good advice to help me?"

Ying Chengjiao spread his hands and said, "If I had good advice, I would have presented these three treasures to you, brother. Why did you keep them hidden until now?"

"This is a matter concerning the general situation of the world, how can I understand it clearly?"

"Brother, you also know that I am not familiar with government affairs!"

"This is an important matter, and it should be decided by my elder brother."

"Brother, you are the king!"

This is a major event that directly determines the future of the two nations. Are you asking me, brother?
How can my little shoulders carry such a big thing?
Ying Zheng looked deep into Ying Chengjiao's eyes and said, "My brother, I'm afraid it's not that you have no good advice, but that you dare not speak out!"

"The reason why I am showing these three treasures to you today is not because I can no longer hide them after hiding them until today."

"It's because your brother ordered me to fight against the barbarians in the north!"

"My brother's advice should be to advise you not only to defeat the barbarians, but to wipe out all the barbarians!"

"Is that what you said, brother?"

These three cavalry treasures were not found by Ying Zheng from Ying Chengjiao's study, but were taken out by Ying Chengjiao himself.

Since Ying Chengjiao chose to take it out today even though he was fully aware of the impact of this item and had kept it hidden for several years, it means that something major happened recently that prompted Ying Chengjiao to make the decision.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, Li Mu alone was not enough to make Ying Chengjiao act so recklessly.

Then what Ying Chengjiao wanted was only the other target of this battle - the Hu bandits!
Ying Chengjiao pursed his lips and said, "Brother, this makes me look stupid!"

Ying Zheng said in a gentle voice, "You and I are brothers. I know you as my brother, and I know you as my brother. How can you be so foolish?"

"Your Majesty, I will tell you everything that is on your mind. There is nothing that cannot be told!"

Ying Chengjiao sighed softly, sat on the ground, looked towards the north and said, "I do have this idea."

"But I think my thinking is too extreme!"

"In your and my lifetime, it is an extremely difficult thing to unify the world, unite the world, stabilize the universe, and leave peace for future generations."

"If we also include the extermination of the Hu bandits in our goals, we will have too much to do in this lifetime."

"If you and I die before we even start our business, I wonder how much trouble we will leave for future generations!"

Ying Zheng felt that Ying Chengjiao's sitting posture was too ugly, and it was not the posture a feudal lord should have at all. He then imitated Ying Chengjiao and sat cross-legged on the ground, saying in a gentle voice: "But you know, my brother has always been cautious and thoughtful."

"My brother knows this, but it is still difficult to make a decision. My brother must have his concerns."

Ying Chengjiao turned his gaze towards the stirrup and asked, "Brother, is this thing difficult?"

"If a barbarian wanted his child to learn to mount a horse early, he would probably hang a rope on the side of the horse as a soft stirrup. When the child was riding, he might find that he could stand on the stirrup, and then double stirrups were made for better standing."

"As for the Takahashi saddle, all that was missing was a flash of inspiration."

"Even if I seal these three knight treasures in a grave, someone will be able to develop this thing."

"If you and I build the Three Treasures of Knights first and equip the entire army, our Great Qin can seize the initiative and use the power of the Three Treasures of Knights to swallow up the northern border, and even turn all the barbarians into Chinese."

"But if the Hu thieves build the three treasures of knights first, our Great Qin will be in a passive position!"

There is still no definitive answer as to when the three treasures of cavalry appeared.

However, the manufacturing difficulty of the Takahashi saddle and double stirrups is really too easy. If soft double stirrups are made of wood, rope and leather, the manufacturing difficulty will be even lower. All that is missing is a flash of inspiration!
As the world situation has changed drastically, God knows whether that flash of inspiration will occur more than 480 years from now, or more than 400 years from now, or... in the head of a herdsman today.

Instead of leaving a big bomb for future generations to deal with, why not throw this bomb at the Hu bandits and blow them upside down?

After a long silence, Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "The north is bitterly cold and it is difficult to survive."

"Brother, do you think the northern border is worth the bloody battle of our Qin people?"

"Even if my men of the Great Qin conquered those territories, it would be impossible to wipe out all the barbarians."

"He who is close to Di is Di."

"You can never kill all the barbarians!"
