Chapter 183
Do you still remember that in spring I will tell you to study an iron horse that can run one or two hundred miles a day without eating grass or food?"
Gao Shun was really a man and smiled and said, "I remember it because I remember it, but I just feel that my lord bragging is impossible."
The deputy generals next to them also laughed.
"This sounds incredible, but it's true that there is such a thing that I will bring today." Lu Bu's so proud, the system has been upgraded. In addition to the car and wheelbarrow, there is an extra bicycle for 28. Lu Bu exchanged ten of them, all of which were brought to Gao Shun.
Seeing that Lu Bu was not like he was joking, Gao Shun was surprised and said, "If there was such an iron horse, it would change the pattern of the battlefield. Running 200 miles a day was a speed that the cavalry could not run even if they were exhausted. Pulling a cart with a mule, and running 70 or 80 miles a day would be exhausted."
Lu Bu clapped his hands, and Xu Shitou pulled a cart over. He lifted the canvas covered on it. It turned out to be several brand new 28 bicycles, black and shiny body, shiny wheels, thick spokes, and thick tires.
Gao Shun was a little confused and didn't know what kind of car this was.
"Can you run two hundred miles a day?"
"It's okay to run the official road. One hour is sixty miles. Three hours is one hundred and eighty miles."
Lu Bu said as he gently took one from the cart and placed it on the ground.
"I'll show you the show."
As he said that, Lu Bu turned over the iron horse and gently stepped on the pedal with his feet. The iron horse ran out quickly. The speed was not as fast as the war horse, but it was much faster than walking. The runway of the school ground was very flat, and Lu Bu rode very fast, and it took a lap to complete in a while.
Gao Shun was shocked. To roughly estimate, it was at least three times the speed of people leaving.
Lu Bu stopped the iron horse, Gao Shun was curious: "Master, can you let me try it?"
"Of course, it's just for you to learn. I'll teach you the method. It's still difficult to learn."
Lu Bu told Gao Shun all the key points of riding an iron horse. Gao Shun got on the iron horse, rode for about ten meters, and fell down.
Gao Shun was not convinced, so he went up and continued riding, not afraid of falling, so he learned this thing very quickly.
When Lu Bu saw that a sheep was put and a flock of sheep was put, he unloaded all ten iron horses from the cart, and asked Gao Shun to choose some people and ten people learned together.
Lu Buli was guiding him, let alone, after all, he was an elite soldier and had good balance ability. He rode a crookedly in just one hour. Of course, it was too early to learn it thoroughly.
Lu Bu looked west and the sun set.
"It's time to eat, and continue practicing after dinner."
Gao Shunting said: "My lord, go and eat first, and then go and eat after you have learned it thoroughly."
Lu Bu didn't care about them and went to the cafeteria with his personal soldiers to have dinner.
Gao Shun and the others continued to study, rode and found out that they felt it was almost done.
I left someone who could ride a little bit, changed into ten newcomers, and started learning.
"Prepare a bonfire and learn until midnight tonight. Tonight you must learn a hundred people, otherwise you won't sleep."
After Gao Shun finished speaking, he went to the cafeteria to find Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was eating it, stewed with pork, cabbage, and cooked noodles.
Gao Shun took a big bowl, and stewed with pork and cabbage, and sat next to Lu Bu.
"Lord, how many iron horses can there be?"
Lu Bu was quite surprised: "Zhongda didn't speak when he was having a meal, so why did he make an exception today?"
"This iron horse is so important. I was able to ride a few laps just now and found that this one cannot compare to a real horse and cannot fight on it. However, the mobility of an iron horse on the official road is much stronger than that of a war horse. For cavalry marching, 120 miles a day is already the limit, and if the horse is far away, it will be injured. Even a small horse like a Hun horse does not have the energy to fight again. Iron horses are different. If marching 120 miles a day, there will be plenty of rest time and you can fight again." Gao Shun was so excited that he forgot to eat the meal.
"We will go to the school to discuss in detail after eating."
Gao Shun then had peace of mind to eat noodles. He didn't have a big appetite. After eating a bowl of noodles, he returned to the school with Lu Bu.
More than a dozen elite soldiers on the school ground were practicing around the bonfire.
Just like learning driving in a driving school, one person has not practiced for a few minutes, and the other person is eager to practice.
Lu Bu pulled an iron horse over and pointed to the wheel and said to Gao Shun: "Like a cart, it is empty, it needs to be inflated, and if it leaks, it needs to be repaired. The car chain needs to be maintained frequently. After being wet from the rain, it is necessary to apply oil to prevent rust. The car must be wiped with a soft cloth frequently. Try not to be exposed to the sun during the day. It is best to have a carport. Of course, this iron horse is not that fragile."
"Apart from building a carport, nothing costs money. It's great, very good. If you don't eat grass or food, the lord wants to use this iron horse to form a fast-deployed elite soldier? I wonder how many vehicles the lord can provide?"
Lu Bu stretched out a finger.
Gao Shun sighed: "One hundred vehicles, a little less, but that's fine."
"Wrong, it's one thousand vehicles. I need you to form a fast force in Teng Country. Once there is war, you will immediately support it and choose a deputy general to serve. You also know the cost of this iron horse. It is much more expensive than a chariot. Let's slow down first, and transfer 3,000 vehicles to you when you go back and equip all the infantry in your unit. This way, the marching speed will be greatly improved. As long as it is a place where the official road is connected, it can pass quickly."
Lu Bu's words made Gao Shun's blood boil. Ninety-nine percent of the time of fighting this year was wasted on marching. Once the speed of marching increased, it meant that the root of the war had changed.
Fight with fast and slow, fight with less and more, and fight with more, the enemy you fight with flee in a panic.
"My lord will tell you in detail how much weight this car can bear?"
"Two ordinary people can ride an iron horse and carry another 50 kilograms of luggage. However, in actual combat, in order to be fast and maneuver, it is best to carry one hundred kilograms of luggage per person and one hundred kilograms of luggage, which is relaxed and pleasant. The rider will not feel tired or hurt the iron horse."
This big iron lump 28-bar bicycle is thickened from the wheel to the frame, and there is no problem for two adults.
Gao Shun pressed it and found that it was indeed very strong.
Gao Shun stopped talking and went up to ride a bike again.
I just learn how to ride a bicycle like this. I am addicted and I don’t like to ride it for a while.
The seat is hard and cold, and the big bar is even colder.
Lu Bu was not interested in watching them ride their bikes and took a few soldiers to the pig farm not far away.
Zhu Bin made great contributions during this period, and the commendation must be required.
The money is five stakes, two pieces of coarse cloth. The workers who work are two hundred stakes. The adopted orphans will not be paid, and each person will make two new clothes.
"Zhu Bin, what are you doing?"
Lu Bu found him from the feed processing workshop of the farm.
