Chapter 56: The Three Treasures of the Cavalry
"I will leave the Snow White girl to your guards when she returns to Shangjun City. These days, I have to thank her for taking care of the young master's daily life and diet. If she makes any mistakes..."
In the military camp, Meng Tian explained to several soldiers the matter of sending Snow White back to the Goddess Pavilion tomorrow.
Now that Young Master Fusu's injuries have healed, Miss Snow will naturally be sent back.
"General..." However, at this moment, outside the commander's tent, the voice of the personal guards rang out.
"Come in!" He waved his hand and made all the soldiers in front of him retreat, Meng Tian shouted.
"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked when his personal guard walked in.
"General, it's about the young master!" the personal guard replied.
"Young master has been practicing guns at the craftsmanship these days, right? I already know this!" Meng Tian said.
Meng Tian also went to see the improved gun. Although he didn't know why the young master was so persistent in guns and not practicing arrows, this was also considered a martial arts matter, so Meng Tian naturally did not interfere.
"It's not a gun, it's the young master who made some things and put them on the horse. General, you'd better go and see it yourself..."
The vocabulary is very scarce, so the guard couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and thought it would be better to let General Meng go and see it in person.
"Have you made some things and put them on the horse?" Meng Tian was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Did the young master make clothes for the horse?
When Meng Tian thought of the scene of a horse wearing a coarse cloth in his mind, he shook his head slightly and threw the scene out of his mind.
I just think the picture is too beautiful and unimaginable.
Soon, Meng Tian rushed to the craftsmanship site. Naturally, he also saw the horse led by Fusu, and was attracted by stirrups and saddles at first sight.
"Isn't this a dress for the horse, but a chair on the horse's back?"
Yes, Meng Tian thinks that using a chair on a horse's back to describe a saddle is very vivid.
"Young Master, is this?" Meng Tian walked over and asked.
"General Meng? This is a saddle. Sitting on it and hooking the stirrups with your feet can be very stable!"
Since the saddle and stirrup were all taken out, Fusu explained to Meng Tian openly.
"Is this so magical? Let me try it?"
As a soldier, Meng Tian was naturally impatient to try the role of Masan.
Just like Fusu got the gun, he was impatient to try to get a pistol and enjoy it.
Fusu nodded and agreed, and then Meng Tian tried to step on the stirrup and rolled over the horse.
Compared to when I was riding a horse, I felt taller in the saddle, but it was also more stable!
Unlike Fusu, he could only let the horse walk slowly for a few laps. After getting on the horse, Meng Tian directly let the horse run away, and the sound of horse hooves as dense as raindrops sounded.
Meng Tian could clearly feel that with the stirrup and saddle, riding a horse was indeed much more sensible than before.
It has a sense of déjà vu when replaced by a hand tractor with a shock absorber.
In winter, it will naturally snow. On heavy snow, it will be very difficult to transport food and grass. Therefore, in the military camp, a bluestone road was actually paved to facilitate the transportation of food and grass and other goods.
Da da da da da!
When the horse ran to this bluestone path, the sound of horse hooves became even more crisp.
This surprised Meng Tian. The sound of horse hooves seemed to be something wrong.
He pulled the reins and stopped.
The first time I was running on my shoes, the horse seemed to run happily. At this moment, I was pulled and seemed a little unhappy. The horse's hooves were restlessly turbulent, and it was even more crisp when they hit the bluestone road.
"Is this?" Meng Tian was even more stunned when he saw the horseshoe nailed to the horseshoe.
No wonder I felt something was wrong with the sound of the horse's hooves. It turned out that I was wearing a pair of, uh, two pairs of bronze shoes for the horse!
"Wait, after wearing such shoes, you no longer have to worry about having to scrap the horse's hooves because they are seriously damaged, right?"
As a general who commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Meng Tian certainly knew that in the military camp, there were countless war horses every year, and because the horse's hooves were severely damaged, they had to be scrapped.
If this is the case, it will definitely greatly reduce the consumption of war horses, and the effects of this are difficult to measure!
"Young Master is really a delicate heart. Such a design seems simple, but it is extremely exquisite. Why hasn't anyone ever thought of it before?"
Meng Tian's heart was shocked when he realized the amazing role that a few small horseshoes could play.
After turning back on the horse, Meng Tian ran the horse for another stick of incense, and then he returned to the craftsmanship site with great pleasure.
"Young Master, the small saddle and stirrup can increase the combat power of our soldiers by at least 30%!"
"And this horseshoe, a few small pieces of copper, is enough to save countless war horses from our Daqin every year!"
"The Huns in the north are good at riding and shooting. I am not as good as the Qin Dynasty. Now that I have these, even if I have the same number of people, I have the confidence to attack them!"
After turning over from the horse's back, Meng Tian gave a very high evaluation!
"I think it's useful, you can discuss it with the craftsmanship department to build it!"
Meng Tian’s reaction can be said to be within Fusu’s expectations. In recent days, the Craftsmanship Department has created hundreds of gold bullets for itself, which is enough.
...
Hundreds of miles away from Shangjun, a caravan entered the Xiongnu grassland and the territory of the Yuezhi tribe.
There were many people in the caravan, digging grass along the way and burying thousands of various ceramic items into the ground.
Some were buried in piles, and some were scattered. In this way, after walking in Yuezhi's territory for two days, thousands of porcelain, bottles, jars, and cups were buried almost all.
As the day came, the sky gradually darkened, and not far from the royal court of the Yuezhi tribe, a super huge firework was set up.
After igniting, a huge firework rushed directly into the sky.
Then, with a bang, it exploded in the sky, showing colorful appearance, and vaguely formed a wolf.
At night, such a huge fireworks suddenly exploded on the grassland, and it was clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles!
"That's it? Is it born a strange phenomenon? Could it be that a treasure of the treasure was born?"
After receiving the news, the Chanyu of the Yuezhi tribe looked into the night sky and saw the dazzling fireworks explode, making the appearance of a heavenly wolf roaring moon. How could he resist curiosity?
He immediately led hundreds of cavalry warriors to gallop in the direction of the fireworks explosion.
It was only twenty miles away and it was soon passed by. Then, the Yuezhi Chanyu discovered Lin Xiaofeng and other caravans and watched them digging the ground.
With a wave of his hand, hundreds of warriors immediately surrounded Lin Xiaofeng and others.
"Xianyu, don't do anything, I have something to say. I'm here to discuss business with Shanyu this time!" Lin Xiaofeng said hurriedly.
"The caravan from Daqin? Why did he come empty-handed this time?" Recognizing Lin Xiaofeng's identity, Yuezhi Chanyu looked at the caravan, but did not come with treasures like glass as usual, which made him frown.
"Last time, our caravan's goods were given to Shanyu. We were considered to be friends. This time, we were not here to sell, but to buy..." Lin Xiaofeng explained with a smile on his face.
Didn't bring the treasure? Yuezhi Chanyu's interest in this caravan was immediately reduced.
Then he looked at the dug-out land and asked, "Let's not talk about business matters for now, why are you digging here?"
After a wink, more than a dozen warriors immediately got off the horse and pulled out their long swords to dig them up.
After a while, a plate as white as jade and with a lifelike wolf-shaped pattern on it was dug out.
Under the moonlight, the white plate is extremely exquisite...
