The last three kingdoms

Chapter 335
When the first batch of Gaoqiao saddles and double-sided stirrups were sent to Duangu, all the cavalry from the Tiger Cavalry Battalion surrounded them, looking strange, but after they rode on the horses equipped with saddles and stirrups, they immediately realized their strength. The beauty is that it is stable and comfortable, and it is simply a harness tailored for war horses.

The biggest advantage of high bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups is that even people without any riding experience can easily get on the horse's back and learn to ride a horse.For the cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion, saddles and stirrups are even more powerful. After a round of trial riding, everyone is full of praise for the saddle and stirrups.

Riding on horseback, there is no need to worry about falling off the horseback. Both hands are freed, and more weapons can be used, such as bows and arrows, such as spears. Although spears can be used with one hand, the strength and use of both hands are by no means A concept, coupled with the fact that the body can move freely on the horseback, the spears used by the cavalry can also get rid of the single stab tricks, picking, stabbing, smashing, splitting, pointing, poking, all the skills that can be used on flat ground It can also be applied on horseback, and after the body is fixed, it can make the cavalry faster and more impactful.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry lies in the inertial impact force, the perfect combination of force and acceleration, for the infantry phalanx, it is simply a nightmare existence, and after equipped with saddle and stirrups, the rider does not have to fall from the high-speed horseback. The worry about going down can increase the speed of the war horse to the extreme, and the terrifying impact brought by it will surely increase exponentially.

The first batch of saddles and stirrups delivered was only a few hundred, which could not fully meet all the needs of the Tiger Riding Battalion, and could only be used for trial use in turns.Liu Yin's requirement for the Tiger Cavalry Battalion is that every rider must master the skill of riding on a horse equipped with saddles and stirrups within a month, and have a qualitative breakthrough in the direction of individual soldiers.

Due to the barrier of the mountains, the climate in the valley is better than that on the plains. At least the harsh cold wind cannot blow in. Such an environment is also conducive to the training of cavalry.

As more saddles and stirrups were sent to Duangu, all the horses in the Tiger Cavalry Battalion would be equipped with these harnesses one after another. After about a month, they would be able to practice cavalry battle formation.

A single cavalry is not very threatening on the battlefield, but a team of cavalry that cooperates tacitly can form a whirlwind on the battlefield, so cavalry training is very important, it can make the cavalry of the brigade form an organic The offensive and defensive overall, to maximize the power of the cavalry.

As for the guards of Duangu and Baisha Valley, Liu Yin did not dare to relax in the slightest. At the mouth of the valley, he arranged the most stringent guard post, with three floors inside and three floors outside. , Without Liu Yin's order, all entry and exit are prohibited.Wei Guo's spies are all-pervasive, and if they are a little negligent, they can steal the core secrets. If Wei Guo learns about the saddle and stirrup plan in advance, it will definitely be a disaster for the Shu army.

After handing over the security of Duangu and Baishagu to A Jian, Liu Yin set off and returned to Jicheng.

Liu Yin's Zhenbei General's Mansion was temporarily set up in Jicheng. Tianshui prefect Wang Qi vacated his own prefect's mansion for Liu Yin and Beidi King Liu Chen to live temporarily, and Jicheng became the political and military affairs of the Longyou area. center.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he bumped into Liu Chen head-on.

"Wenxuan, where have you been these few days? Why haven't I seen you?" Liu Chen asked first.

No one was notified of Liu Yin's trip, not even the king of Beidi, the supervising army, not because Liu Yin didn't trust Liu Chen, but because the less people knew about the latest cavalry equipment, the better.

"Hurry up and train the cavalry. After the beginning of spring, Cao Wei will definitely fight back. In the battle of Guanlong, the cavalry is the most important. At least one cavalry should be available. Five brothers, how are you? There is nothing in Tianshui these days. Is it a big deal?" Liu Yin had no choice but to say something vaguely.

Liu Chen didn't ask Liu Yin how the cavalry training was going in detail. Hearing Liu Yin's question, he said, "It's nothing serious. General Fu and Wang Taishou are organizing people to repair the city wall, but the weather is cold and the days are short. , the progress of the project is slow. Now a lot of manpower and material resources are concentrated in the hands of the big scholars in Longyou, and these scholars have a dubious attitude. They have neither publicly opposed nor expressed their support. Put some pressure on him to force him to submit?"

Whether it is Yizhou or Yongliang, the local economy is controlled by the gentry. More than [-]% of the land in Yongliang is concentrated in the hands of large and small gentry, and there are many tenants and servants attached to the gentry. Countless, according to unofficial statistics, the hidden households in Yongliang area accounted for almost one-third of the total population. , feeling a little helpless.

The Shu army entered Longxi at a swift and resolute speed, causing a shocking disturbance in the Longyou area. However, the Four Great Families of Longyou headed by the Ma family remained collectively silent, neither expressing welcome nor coming forward to oppose it, as if the four major The family completely ignored the arrival of the Shu army.

But Liu Yin understood that the calm on the surface could not hide the undercurrents. After all, the tyrants and powerful clans were existences that no one in the Longyou area could ignore, and their every move would greatly affect the overall situation of Longyou.

Now the Ma, Li, Yang, and Liang four major scholars are collectively silent, and the other middle and small scholars who are attached to them dare not even breathe. In fact, they are all watching the development of the situation in Longyou and waiting. right opportunity.

No matter where the scholars in the world belong, they only have the concept of clan and not the concept of country. No matter whether the world belongs to Han or Wei, as long as the interests of the family can be safeguarded, no one cares about the ownership of the world.

The reason why these scholars have not made a statement until now is because the situation in Longyou is uncertain. Although the Shu army has occupied Longyou, they will undoubtedly face the crazy counterattack of the Wei army. It is not clear who will win and who will lose. Indeed, there is no conclusion.Therefore, it is impossible for the four major scholars in Longyou, headed by the Ma family, to easily express their support for someone at this time, because no matter who they support, the final result will definitely offend the other party.

Sometimes, silence is also a choice, and it is a better choice. Silence is golden, and it is wise to protect yourself.

Liu Yin smiled calmly and said, "Fifth brother, tomorrow I will go to pay a visit to the helmsman of the Ma family."
