Three Kingdoms: I Have a Showdown, I Am Cao Cao

far...too far!

Hit the saddle target a hundred steps away?Or ride...

If this distance is shot flat, it may be possible for those with infinite power to reach it.

But riding a shot is much more difficult than a flat shot. On horseback, it is absolutely impossible for someone to shoot an arrow a hundred paces...

As for the reason, everyone who rides a horse knows.

When galloping on a horse, the whole body relies on the legs under the straddle to clamp the horse's belly, so as to support the whole body...

In other words, the point of contact with the horse's back is the only point of support for the knight on the steed.

A point of support can't support all the strength of the knight...

The knight must control the balance of the body and bend the bow and arrow.

It is not easy to use [-]% of the original strength.

For this reason, in the process of riding and shooting, those who can shoot sixty steps are already outstanding enough;

Those who can shoot [-] paces can be called the leader of mounted archery in the military camp;

If someone can shoot eighty steps, unless they are Qiang people, Xianbei people, Wuhuan people who have lived on horseback since childhood... At least, no Han people can do it.

But now, in the process of riding and shooting, Xiahou Yuan bends the bow and shoots the arrow, and the three arrows hit the bullseye at a distance of one hundred paces!

This power, this level of accuracy, has never been seen before, and it cannot help but shock people.

"Good arrow!"

Cao Hong let out a cry, in admiration.

Not to mention a hundred paces, he could barely shoot at sixty paces.

All the other generals shouted, "Good arrow!"

Only Cao Cao and Xun Yu's eyes flashed from them.

Because, in addition to noticing Xiahou Yuan's marvelous horse-bow skills, they both noticed one point...

When riding and shooting, Xiahou Yuan stepped on the iron stirrups.

It seemed that the iron stirrup was like a flat ground, giving Xiahou Yuan enough support.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu understood at the time that the function of the iron stirrup was this—

——Help the knight to obtain the other two support points besides stepping down, so that the knight's strength can be exerted to the greatest extent.

This…

"Artifact, it really is an artifact!"

Cao Cao didn't understand the principle of the stability of the triangle, and he didn't even understand how this little iron stirrup could support the whole body right away.

But even so, he couldn't help but exhale the word "artifact" again and again, his eyes widened in vain, and his expression was exaggerated.

No wonder so...

During the Three Kingdoms period, let alone iron stirrups, there were no cloth stirrups.

Cavalry charge often needs to disperse more power to maintain the balance and stability of the body, but the power of the human body is so much, scattered in the balance, then the power of wielding a halberd, bending a bow and an arrow is weaker!

This is the difficulty and insurmountable weakness of forming a cavalry squad...

However, such a difficulty and pain point that plagued the development of cavalry was easily solved by this small iron stirrup.

On a warhorse?

Is it the choice of balance?Or choose power?

Hehe, only children do multiple-choice questions, and of course adults need all of them.

Thinking of this...

Cao Cao's heart became passionate, no one knew better than him, what this meant...

Perhaps, the cavalry troops under Cao Cao's cavalry units were able to increase their combat effectiveness by geometric multiples because of such an inconspicuous invention of the "iron stirrup" by Yi Xiaotian.

……

……

Chapter [-] The troubles of Yi Xiaotian

silence.

long silence...

At this moment, all the civil and military personnel in Yanzhou noticed the iron stirrup and the benefits it brought to Xiahou Yuan on the horse.

incredible.

This is everyone's subconscious reaction.

After a short period of surprise, everyone can't help but think?Who invented such an artifact?

The materials are simple and the workmanship is simple, and it can increase the combat effectiveness of knights several times in an instant, which is so terrifying.

"Lord."

Xun Yu's eyes rolled, he thought more deeply, and immediately reminded. "Since, such an artifact has been born in our army? Why not form a brave cavalry team, so, my infantry has Qingzhou soldiers, and the cavalry also has a corresponding corps, and the battle on the battlefield will definitely be unfavorable!"

Well…

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment at first, but then he was overjoyed. "That's a wonderful statement from the sergeant."

Xun Yu stroked his beard. "General Xiahou mounts a war horse, steps on this iron stirrup, and charges back and forth as fierce as a tiger and as fast as a leopard. How about naming this cavalry regiment Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Huh... Tiger and Leopard Riding, what a great name!

Hahaha…

Cao Cao laughed out loud immediately. "Okay, from now on, I also have a brave tiger and leopard cavalry in Yanzhou!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, at the iron stirrup on his feet, and couldn't help but ponder...

"Brother Yi is indeed a genius, and with his sixteen-character strategy, he solved the Yellow Turban crisis in Yanzhou;

With just four words, I saved my father Cao Song;

Now it's just a casual forging of iron, which has solved the biggest problem of the cavalry and forged a cavalry army with doubled combat effectiveness!Brother Yi, what a genius..."

Thinking about this...

Cao Cao went to look for Cao Ren in his civil and military entourage.

He pondered, and didn't know if he had done a good job of telling Cao Ren.

But at this time.

"Meng De, Meng De..."

It could be seen from a distance that Cao Ren was galloping on his war horse and hurried over, as if he had something important to do.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly attracted.

But he heard Cao Cao ask. "Is it all done?"

"It's all done. He is the best craftsman." Cao Ren replied.

Hearing this, Cao Cao grinned and laughed.

It seems that the mood is particularly bright, even happier than the formation of tiger and leopard riding.

"Go and invite the old man." Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be quite eager, and repeatedly ordered... "Let's go now..."

Well…

The words blurted out.

Everyone was a little confused. The front was still praising the iron stirrup and threatening to set up a tiger and leopard ride. Why did they set off with Cao Ren next?

and many more?

The best craftsman?

Pick up the old man?Set off?

What's the matter?

Why do people still not understand...

Cao Cao didn't care about them, he just ordered Xiahou Dun to choose elites to form tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Cao in such a hurry?Who are you going to see?

For a time, everyone was even more surprised?

What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?

……

……

Chenliu County is on the road leading to Suanzao County.

Several carriages are galloping, and dozens of knights around the carriage are carefully escorting them. It seems that the escorts are quite important.

And in the first carriage, Cao Cao repeatedly warned...

"Father, this brother Yi is detached and free and easy and doesn't like fame and fortune. If you know that I am Cao Cao, I am afraid that we will not be able to chat as well as before. That's the case, I have deliberately concealed my identity, and it would be good for my father to know. , don't tell me that."

Hearing this, Cao Song nodded. Huanhai has lived for thirty years, and he has long known what to say and what not to say.

The purpose of coming here this time is to kowtow and thank this Yi Xiaotian for his life-saving grace.

As for the rest, Cao Song knew it in his heart, and he spoke carefully.

"Meng De, even though you have concealed your identity, you can't neglect this gentleman. It's hard to repay the kindness of saving your life. Our Cao family knows how to repay the kindness best, and you can't treat this gentleman badly!"

Cao Song also instructed...

"Father, this son knows." Cao Cao nodded...

The official roads in Suanzao County have been renovated and the roads are extremely smooth.

Cao Cao and Cao Song chatted for a while, and a few carriages had already traveled to a restaurant...
