Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty
Chapter 136: Under the power of horseshoes
I saw two burly teenagers riding a maroon horse from a distance towards Chen Mansion. The dazzling air turned into a whirring hurricane around their bodies, causing the manes of the horses under their seats to fly around, like burning flames, so beautiful.
Chen Yin's eyes widened and said, "Isn't this the kid from the Cheng family and the Qin family?"
Li Xin smiled and nodded, and said, "Master Chen really has eyes like a torch."
That's right, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were sitting on the two horses. Li Xin had long explained that they were each riding a horse on the other side of the long street outside the Chen Mansion to prepare, and when they heard Wang Gui's signal, they began to run wildly along the long street.
After all, Chen Yin didn't know what trick Li Xin was playing, so he didn't rush to speak, just watched quietly.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu stood shoulder to shoulder, struggling to urge the horses under the seat. The two horses spread out four hooves and ran to equal parts, and no one would let anyone else. As expected after the two generals, the riding skills have not fallen at all, and they are exquisite and artistic.
Li Xin looked at this scene and couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
Sure enough, the heroic posture on a horse can make people ignore the intellectual defects of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu. If Li Xin was on horseback at this moment, he might have been turned upside down. How could he be as heroic as these two?
After a while, the two of them and two horses had arrived about two hundred steps away from Chen Mansion.
Li Xin secretly thought that it was almost over, and then gave Wang Gui a wink again.
Wang Gui immediately understood, raised his left hand, and then fell heavily. When Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu saw this gesture, Qi Zile held the reins and forced the horses to slow down.
Finally, both horses stopped. Although they were always in the same position during the run, when they stopped, they stopped at different places. Cheng Chumo is the one closer to Chen Yin and Li Xin. Qin Huaiyu stopped about fifty steps behind Cheng Chumo.
Chen Yin watched this scene without speaking. He roughly guessed what Li Xin meant, and walked silently to Cheng Chumo's side and asked, "Your horse doesn't have a horseshoe, right?"
Cheng Chumo smirked and nodded.
Without saying a word, Chen Yin visually inspected the distance between Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, then looked back at Li Xin and asked, "Is that horse nailed a horseshoe, right?"
Li Xin smiled and nodded.
Playing with smart people saves effort. They can figure out many things on their own without much explanation.
Li Xin said when he took out the horseshoe earlier that it can extend the life of the horse, enhance the grip between the horseshoe and the ground, and enhance stability.
The function of horseshoes to protect horseshoes and prolong the service life of horses is actually very clear at a glance. After reading it, everyone understands it. But the grip is more abstract. In order to prove that what he said was true, Li Xin specially arranged for Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu to ride a horse gallop together to demonstrate the role of horseshoes in enhancing grip.
To put it bluntly, it is a braking distance test. Whoever has a shorter braking distance will have greater friction with the ground, in other words, a stronger grip.
But don't underestimate the concept of grip, it affects the power of the cavalry to a large extent.
When many people talk about cavalry, they immediately imagine the heroic appearance of the cavalry on the horse, thinking that this is the power of the cavalry. actually not. The true power of the cavalry lies in sprinting and mobility.
Thousands of cavalry sprinted forward at the same time, and it is difficult for people who have not seen it to imagine what a magnificent sight. The speed of the horse gives the cavalry potential energy. The greater the speed, the greater the potential energy. Anything will be crushed into dust in front of this huge energy. Even the brave person, in the face of such power, I am afraid that his legs will soften and wet his pants.
With horseshoes, the horse's grip is improved, just like a barefoot sprinter suddenly puts on a pair of top running shoes, no longer has to worry about slipping, and naturally can run more unscrupulously, and the speed is perfectly released. Although I have to admit that this kind of improvement is very small, no more than one or two percent at most, but this kind of improvement is really incredible for the cavalry.
Under ideal conditions, for the same 10,000 cavalry, as long as one of them is faster than the other by even 10%, the end of the slower side will inevitably be washed into a dish of scattered sand and cannot be defeated. Of course, the actual war is very complicated, and there are many factors that affect the outcome. It cannot be generalized in this way, but one thing is certain: fast speed is definitely not a bad thing for cavalry.
In addition to the simple lifting speed, the horseshoe also improves the stability and mobility of the horse. Whether it is turning or stopping, it is a bit faster than when the horseshoe is not nailed. This also means that after Datang's cavalry are equipped with horseshoes, whether they are going to fight or go, or fight and go, they will have a bit more opportunity than the enemy. On the ever-changing battlefield, a glimmer of first-hand opportunity is very likely to be a first-line opportunity, and it may even be transformed into a first-line victory in the hands of a brilliant commander.
Although Chen Yin was a civil servant, he was also a counselor under Li Shimin's account in the early years. He was also familiar with military affairs. How could he not understand what the nearly fifty-step gap between Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu meant.
It can be said that this horseshoe created by Li Xin abruptly increased the combat effectiveness of the Datang Cavalry!
Chen Yin couldn't help but want to laugh.
Li Xin said that he was going to give Chen Yin a big Tang iron horse. At that time, Chen Yin thought that Li Xin was bragging. Unexpectedly, Li Xin really gave out a big Tang iron horse. Cavalry.
Before Li Xin took out the horseshoe, who could really think that a curved iron bar could create a powerful cavalry? The subtle gap between the two made the smile on Chen Yin's lips bigger and bigger.
"How is it?" Li Xin laughed and asked, "Master Chen thinks I have passed the test?"
Seeing Li Xin's childish demonstrations and showing off, Chen Yin smiled more brilliantly. He smiled and cursed: "You kid is a bit crooked."
"Then..." Li Xin said slowly, "The younger generation should be able to change their slogan as father-in-law, right? This is a win for the younger generation.
Chen Yin's face changed when he heard this, and his smile froze on the spot: This guy...what is he thinking about? Can you be a little bit more promising? I don’t need much, just a little bit...
He glared at Li Xin and said angrily: "No. You and Youlan are not yet married, how can you bark? Also, you usually mess with Youlan........Be aware of the influence, if you do. What rumors have come out, or the old man knows how you bullied Youlan, be careful that the old man only asks you!"
After speaking, Chen Yin flicked his sleeves and left, but still tightly squeezed the horseshoe that Li Xin threw to him at the beginning, as if holding something more important than his life.
Li Xin looked at Chen Yin's back, and the smile on his face was so bright that it even surpassed the sun at the moment.
What? Lao Zhangren is also a wonderful person. Doesn't this mean... As long as he doesn't mess around, he will turn a blind eye to the relationship between Li Xin and Chen Youlan.. .....
