After a while, Liu Biao reacted from the shock, gave Liu Zhao a deep salute, and said, “Weichen has made no statement, please forgive me!

Of course Liu Zhao didn’t do it for himself, and said: “Get up, Liu Aiqing is also out of public interest, I forgive you and not guilty. By the way, in addition to these auxiliary equipment, I have also invented two that can directly enhance our army’s combat power. Let’s go and have a look together.”

“Yes.””

Knowing that the fried noodles, the telescope and the compass were all invented by Liu Zhao, Liu Biao is no longer surprised that Liu Zhao has invented something.

At the same time, he also understood that these two things, like fried noodles, a telescope and a compass, must have extraordinary effects.

In the Royal Forbidden Garden, Liu Biao saw a horse, and beside the saddle, there was a strange thing made of steel.

“Your Majesty, this…is this a stirrup?” Liu Biao said unsurely.

“Well, it’s really a stirrup, but it’s different from ordinary stirrups. Liu Aiqing can ride it and try it.”

“According to the order.”

In the Han Dynasty, there were stirrups.

But it must be noted that the horse stirrup in the Han Dynasty was a one-leg cloth stirrup.

The function of the one-legged stirrup can only make it more convenient for people to mount a horse, and it has no other function.

But, iron stirrups for legs, – it’s totally different!

White, the British historian of science and technology, pointed out: “Few inventions are as simple as the stirrup, and few inventions have such great historical significance.”

The stirrup here refers to the iron stirrup for the legs.

What is the use of this thing?

Makes horses easier to ride.

It turns out that a person rides on a horse, his legs are in the air, and there is no support under his feet. Learning to ride a horse is a difficult skill.

But with stirrups, the difficulty of learning to ride is greatly reduced.

In the military, stirrups play a greater role.

Whether it is fighting the enemy with knives and spears, or wounding people with bows and arrows, with stirrups or without stirrups, it is the difference between whether there is a foothold or not, and the combat power can be described as worlds apart!

It can be said that the ordinary cavalry of this era can compete with the elite cavalry after they are equipped with iron stirrups.

Liu Biao was a man who knew soldiers, and after riding for a while, he understood the benefits of this stirrup.

woo~~

Liu Biao got off his horse and said happily: “After our Han army was equipped with this stirrup, the combat power has increased by more than 10%? Wei Chen congratulates His Majesty!

“What? Did Liu Aiqing only notice the stirrups?” Liu Zhao said with a genuine smile.

“And…and…”

Liu Biao looked at the war horse carefully, and said, “And above the horse’s hoof… it seems that there is something more.”

Liu Zhao said: “This thing is called a horseshoe. I ordered people to nail the horseshoe to the horse’s hoof, which is equivalent to making shoes for the horse.35

“shoe?

“Yes, it’s the shoes. We humans are not afraid of the rubble and mud on the ground? It’s because of the shoes. These horseshoes are the shoes of the horse. As long as it is nailed to the horse’s hoof, the horse can walk fast. Let’s put it this way, There is a big difference between us humans wearing shoes and not wearing shoes, and there is a big difference between whether a horse nails a horse’s hoof or not.39

Ask for flowers•

“But… such a big iron block is nailed to the horse’s hoof, and the horse will die of pain? How can it be… still walking like a fly? Uh…”

Liu Biao just said this, and then quickly shut up.

You know, he just rode a horse and ran a circle, then the horse ran very well! Does it seem to be in any pain?

Liu Zhao went on to explain: “The surface of a horse’s hoof is similar to our human fingernails. Although it grows on a horse, it hurts. If Liu Aiqing doesn’t believe it, just ask the groom.”35

“How can Wei Chen not believe His Majesty’s words? It’s just… just… If this thing can really protect the hooves of horses…

Liu Biao’s eyes gradually became brighter and even more vigorous, and his breathing was a little short.

He said: “After the horseshoe is nailed, the horse is like wearing a pair of shoes. No matter how muddy, how rough, or even the road with caltrops, the horse can walk on the ground. In this way, whether it is an attack, Still chasing the dead and chasing the north, or even a long-distance attack, the advantage of our Han army has increased a bit! Wei Chen congratulates His Majesty again!”5

Nonsense, the horseshoe that has been tested for thousands of years later, its effect is still fake?

Can Liu Biao not vibrate abnormally?

Liu Zhao said with a smile: “So, Liu Aiqing thought that after our army has fried noodles, compass, telescope, stirrups, horseshoes, etc., can we make up for the disadvantage of geographical location and have a showdown with the Guishuang army?
