Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 98: Stirrups

Nowadays, the horses of the big Han and the cavalry outside the Great Wall do not have saddles. The cavalry gallops on the horses. They can only rely on their legs to hold the horse's belly tightly to maintain their balance. It is also very difficult to wield weapons. This is why the cavalry of the big Han Use simple spears instead of wielding broadswords and other weapons on horseback. Only some highly skilled riders can use wielding weapons on war horses. This is due to the inconspicuous stirrups.

With stirrups, as long as the cavalry with good riding skills can easily make various actions on the horse, it will not be difficult to use weapons such as long knives, and it will be easy to avoid oncoming arrows. It can greatly reduce the casualty rate of cavalry and improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Looking at Blacksmith Liu looking at him with doubts, Jia Rong said coldly: "Don't know what you shouldn't know, just be in charge of building it. Again, if someone leaks any secrets in the Beidi County craftsman workshop, the prefect will Kill its nine clans!"

Liu Tiejiang Nuonuo said yes, Jia Rong's long-term gentleness made Liu Tiejiang no longer restrained in doing things in front of Jia Rong. Rong called him to leave together, and Liu Tiejiang came back to his senses, his forehead was already covered with sweat.

It is not enough to be gentle for a long time, and the combination of kindness and strength is the kingly way. It is necessary to make subordinates be kind to you, but also to make subordinates feel awe of you.

Looking at the people in front of him whispering to each other from time to time, Jia Rong also understands that he has been too used to these people in front of him recently, so that the people in front of him have become more arrogant, coughing a few times has no effect, Liu Tiejiang went down embarrassingly to organize discipline .

After the crowd quieted down, Jia Rong said in a serious tone: "It's okay to be active at ordinary times, but you must keep quiet when you gather. Forget it this time. If a similar situation happens again, we will never tolerate it!"

"I would like to emphasize the discipline of the craftsman's workshop in Beidi County. Once someone leaks any information about the craftsman's workshop and kills the nine clans, we will never tolerate it!" Jia Rong continued in a stern voice. Mi Wei and Zhang Wei beside him He shook the big knife at his waist as if in a demonstration.

Jia Rong has been in the top position for a long time, even standing there makes people feel a faint sense of oppression, but now it erupts, making all the blacksmiths in front of them hold their breath, and dare not vent their breath until Jia Rong has left for a long time, these blacksmiths Only after he let out a long sigh of relief, a gust of cold wind blew, and a slight chill came from his back. A blacksmith shuddered and cursed softly, "Why is it so cold!"

Liu Tiejiang repeatedly emphasized the discipline of the craftsman's workshop several times, and left without reassurance. If there were any problems in the craftsman's workshop, he would be the first to be unlucky.

Jia Rong also understands that the secret of the stirrups will definitely not be kept secret forever, but this is the current trump card of Jia Rong's army, and it will have the effect of deterring the heroes as soon as he makes a move. It is not until now that I have my own power that I started to build it. It is also very selfish, and Jia Rong faintly does not want to deliberately change the course of history.

Not only stirrups, but also horseshoes will also be built. Troubled times are coming, and the most important thing now is to improve strength. In times of war, big fists are the last word. If you want to survive in troubled times, you must have the capital to survive. For the sake of the world, for the sake of the common people, even the most basic survival cannot be done, so why talk about these!What the common people in the world need are not scholars who only know how to talk and generals who only know how to kill.

The next day, Jia Rong came to the Beidi County school grounds in military uniform, followed closely by the main generals in the army, and [-] soldiers stared at Jia Rong. Deeply imprinted in the heart of every soldier, he is the pillar of the entire army.

Wherever Jia Rong looked, those soldiers straightened their chests; Jia Rong said loudly: "Brothers have worked hard in training recently, and I am very pleased with your progress. Raise the weapons in your hands , tell me, who is the strongest?"

The soldiers below suddenly became confused, because Jia Rong had never asked this question before, and the commander had never taught them. Some soldiers said that the general is the strongest, some soldiers said that the camp is the strongest, and some said cavalry is invincible...

The chaotic sound filled the Beidi County school grounds, attracting those people who had taken refuge in the military camp because of the house collapse to rush out to wait and see.

Jia Rong stretched out his right hand and made a quiet gesture, and the [-] soldiers quieted down in minutes, without the previous whispering and loud quarrels, straightened their chests and looked at Jia Rong on the high platform of the school field.

The generals behind Jia Rong were envious, they would definitely not be able to achieve such an effect.

Raising his voice to the maximum decibel, Jia Rong pointed to the soldiers below and said: "From now on, you should remember that only you are the strongest, because you will capture one city after another and defeat one enemy after another! Enemies You will tremble under your weapons, and the city gates will be opened by you! Therefore, you are the strongest!"

Jia Rong's words completely disrupted the concept of these soldiers, "Are you the strongest?" This question appeared in the hearts of countless soldiers. He is powerful. He has never heard such remarks. Usually, if a soldier says that he is the strongest, he will definitely attract scolding and ridicule from his companions.

"Who is the strongest?" Jia Rong shouted loudly while standing on the high platform of the school field.

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the soldiers roared in unison: "I am the strongest, I am the strongest..." From the chaotic beginning to the final shout, everyone was moved.

Such soldiers are the real elite soldiers. Only when they are full of confidence in themselves can they overcome difficulties one after another on the battlefield. With sufficient confidence in soldiers, their morale will naturally rise to an unattainable height. It is precisely this effect that although Jia Rong is not a qualified ancient general, he has advantages that those generals cannot have.

The confidence of the soldiers has improved, and no matter what they do in the future, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"You are all warriors! You are all brave men!" Jia Rong raised his arms and called out, "Warriors!"

What followed was the hysterical roar of [-] soldiers!

"My warriors, train well, our homeland will be defended by you in the future!" Jia Rong clasped his right fist and shouted: "Defend our homeland!"

At this moment, Jia Rong felt that he was somewhat similar to the missionaries of later generations. He could feel the admiration of these soldiers for him now. With so many dead soldiers, Jia Rong's image was infinitely magnified in the minds of these soldiers.

"It seems that in the future, we must specially train talents for ideological education for soldiers, and cultivate the spirit of soldiers who are not afraid of death. The most important thing is not to let these soldiers have the idea of ​​escaping or surrendering without fighting." Jia Rong thought to himself: " However, this approach is a bit inhumane, if it is placed in future generations, it will definitely be arrested as a dangerous person."

Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the soldiers, Jia Rong nodded in satisfaction, and walked down the high platform of the school field. The soldiers of various ministries were also training under the leadership of the commanding general.

At the cavalry training ground, Jiang Yu and other cavalry generals stood quietly behind Jia Rong with respectful expressions. After Jia Rong's lectures, the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training has obviously increased a lot. These generals had to obey because of Jia Rong's ingenious speeches, and Jia Rong's words can sometimes be worth half a day's beating and scolding of soldiers.

Jia Rong looked at Jiang Yu and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, how about we have an immediate competition?"

Jiang Yu looked at Jia Rong in surprise. Jiang Yu's riding skills were obvious to all. The riding skills he had practiced since he was a child could not be compared to Jia Rong, a half-way cavalry soldier. All the cavalry generals cast doubtful eyes.

Jiang Yu clasped his fists and replied, "I obey orders!" Jiang Yu agreed even though he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jia Rong's gourd. This is a habit that Jiang Yu has developed for a long time. They will all agree without thinking.

Mi Wei handed the reins of the war horses prepared in advance to Jia Rong's hands, as if he could see Jiang Yu's careful thoughts, Jia Rong said solemnly: "The battlefield is ruthless, don't have any thoughts of giving in, just at the moment you are in a trance , maybe the winner has already been decided! Always remember, there is no training, only the battlefield!"

The generals behind him nodded approvingly, and Jiang Yu's face turned slightly red, obviously just now Jiang Yu had the intention to give in.

Jia Rong got on his horse and brought back a long knife, five feet long, without a sharp edge. This is the weapon used by the cavalry in duel training. Really improve the combat capability of the cavalry!"

The war horse under Jia Rong was specially processed, with horseshoes nailed and stirrups installed, which took advantage of it. Naturally, the generals did not know this, which is why Jia Rong dared to challenge Jiang Yu.

The cavalrymen who were training also gathered around curiously, and formed a big circle around the field of competition. Many cavalrymen discussed with each other which side would win the competition. , But it can't stop the cavalry onlookers from voting for Jia Rong, which is a kind of trust from the heart.

Amidst the buzzing of the soldiers, the match between the two began.

Jia Rong has great strength, but usually on a war horse, he can't exert half of his strength on flat ground. With the stirrups, Jia Rong is like a phoenix on a branch, and his combat value is soaring.
