I use martial arts to train soldiers in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16 The Horseshoe of the Three Treasures
The next day, Deng Wu got up and practiced the Hundred Strikes of a Prairie Fire.Ever since I got this set of exercises, I have been busy and never had time to practice martial arts.Deng Wu did not go to the prefect's mansion, nor to the military camp.

After rehearsing for a while, he began to practice basic marksmanship again.Deng Wu discovered that all stunts start from the basics.Once you have practiced the basic moves and techniques, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when practicing special skills.Just like the time when he fought Chen Dao, he had practiced the basic marksmanship, and he still took down Deng Wu, who had special skills, with one or two moves.

Deng Wu also analyzed the reason. To put it bluntly, there is no warrior's determination to die.Like a child with a knife in his hand.In a duel with you again, if you are afraid of death, you back down.You just have to wait for him to run out of energy.But if you have the heart to die, you don't have to wait for him to exhaust his strength...

Deng Wu was afraid of death, so he would never become a general.In a decisive battle on the battlefield, I have plenty of strong generals, why should I fight you one-on-one and fight to the death?

After rehearsing all the moves.Deng Wu returned to his study and began to think about how to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates?Especially cavalry.

Yanmen is located at the border, and basically all soldiers can ride horses, and many of them have excellent riding skills.It's just fighting power!To be considered.

After Deng Wu came to Yanmen, he tried his best to buy war horses.In addition to the original cavalry of Yanmen, Deng Wu can barely scrape together 1200 cavalry now, allocate 200 cavalry for scouts, and can use [-] cavalry, but it is still not enough to achieve combat effectiveness.

Deng Wu also knew about the Three Treasures of Cavalry.Horseshoes, bilateral stirrups, high bridge saddles.What is all the cavalry equipment like now?There are several layers of animal skin or cotton cloth on the horse's back, and there is a single-sided stirrup on the left side of the horse, just for the convenience of getting on and off the horse.

Horseshoes are very important for horse farming and prolonging the life of military horses and draft horses.Moreover, it can better grasp the ground to prevent the horse from slipping and stepping on gravel, causing non-combat attrition.It also runs more stably, and for the Cavaliers, it can also fight better.

For one side of the stirrup, Deng Wu can tie a hemp rope on the other side and use it first.The Takahashi saddle can be a low-end saddle, but it is also fooled first.Horseshoe Deng Wu thought about it and decided to get it out.

As soon as he thought of it, he did it and immediately called Dian Wei outside the door and shouted: "Yaozu, tell me to go down and summon all the blacksmiths, carpenters and tailors in the city. And bring the best among them to me." Dian Wei outside the door. Wei did not ask why?Responded "

like. "Go down and order the guards to summon the blacksmiths, carpenters and tailors of the whole city.

Deng Wu began to write and draw in the study. Deng Wu remembered that the horseshoe was U-shaped, with two to three holes on each side, and Deng Wu designed it with two holes.

As for the saddle, Deng Wu's designer made it 30 cm wide.After all, there are big knights and small and dainty knights.

The design is small, and the burly knight will not grind the eggs when sitting on it.The design is larger, with cotton cloth or animal skin in the middle.In short, when the knight sits on it, it must be just stuck, and it must be moderately tight, just right.

An hour later, Dian Wei reported outside the door: "Master, the best blacksmith, carpenter and tailor in the city have arrived."

"Take them to the training ground, and I'll be there soon." After Deng Wu finished speaking, he put away the design drawings on the table and walked towards the training ground.

When he came to the training ground, Deng Wu looked at the two old men, and an aunt said, "Which of you is a blacksmith? Who is a carpenter? Who is a tailor? Let me introduce myself."

"Under the official, official blacksmith, Zhao Dezhu." The little old man on the left introduced.

"Little old man, in the west of the city, Chen Lin is the owner of Chen's wooden planner." The little old man in the middle said.

"The woman is the owner of Ma's tailor shop in the west of the city." said the aunt on the right.

Deng Wu said after listening: "Old Zhao, look at this blueprint, how long will it take to make one?"

After speaking, he handed over the drawing with the horseshoe drawn on it.Then he said: "Mr. Chen and Aunt Ma, you also look at these blueprints. How long will it take to make a set?"

The old man Zhao took the blueprint first, calculated silently in his mind, and said: "Master Taishou, I can make a set with my apprentices in half an hour. The 16 nails in a set are not bad. It is in the middle of this piece of iron. There are 16 holes, so it will take some time.”

After listening, Deng Wu said: "Send more people, after noon. Make ten sets and send them here." After speaking, he said to old carpenter Chen and tailor Madam Ma: "Old Chen, Madam Ma, you How long does it take to make a set?"

"This depends on the requirements of the prefect. If it needs to be polished and smooth after it is finished, it will take half an hour to make one set just like Mr. Zhao's. If it does not need to be polished, then half an hour can make two sets. .” Old man Chen said.

"Grind it! It's also after noon, and ten sets will be delivered."

"Women, it's pretty fast here. About three sets can be made in an hour, just the materials..." Madam Ma said.

"The materials are first made of animal skins from the treasury. I only have one requirement, which is to be durable. I also take ten sets after noon and send them to the prefect's mansion."

After Deng Wu finished speaking, he said: "Oh, by the way, you discuss it with Mr. Chen. The carpentry you make must just fit in. Mr. Chen made the woodwork. I also marked the size on the drawing. Madam Ma, you According to the actual situation, it can be changed."

After Deng Wu finished speaking, he thought about it again, and said, having nothing to say, "Okay, that's it, you go down and hurry up, hurry up and make it out!"

"I'll wait, leave!"

Deng Wu waved his hand, signaling them to go down.

"My lord, what's the use of this thing?" He Yi who was next to him said.

"Jin Zhong, with this thing, you can challenge Dian Wei immediately." Deng Wu said nastily.

Dian Wei, He Yi, and He Man were related by the commander of Deng Wu's personal guards.They often sparred with each other, saying it was a sparring, but in fact Dian Wei was guiding them.

In Dian Wei's hands, the two brothers could go for five rounds, unlike the previous two rounds when they were beaten to the ground.

In the riding battle, the two brothers joined forces and could go for more than a dozen rounds.Since Dian Wei got the BMW, he has never gone through more than ten rounds, just like a battle of footwork.

"Really? Just these few gadgets."

"Really, after noon, you will know if you try it." Deng Wu said.

"Hey, when the time comes, my brothers will definitely beat up Fatty Dian Wei." He Man said whimsically.

"Hehe! Hmm! If you have ambition and ideals, I'll just wait and see."

Deng Wu laughed and said, but the thought in his heart was: "Thinking too much, I haven't been convinced by Dian Wei! This thing, at most, will let you go for more than a dozen rounds before it's over. Those who deserve to be beaten have to be beaten." Get beaten." After Deng Wu finished speaking, he walked towards the study.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.In Yanmen County, Deng Wu's mansion is on the training ground.

Deng Wu looked at the ten sets that had been completed, and immediately made three treasures.He said to He Yi and He Man, "Go, bring my war horse and your war horse over."

After a while, He Yi and He Man brought the war horses over.Deng Wu took matters into his own hands. He first looked at the horseshoes of He Yi and He Man's horses, and then installed the saddle and stirrups he designed.Then he said to He Yi and He Man: "Come on, go up and try!"

Wait for these two idiots to sit on the horse.Deng Wu said: "How is it? How do you feel?"

"Well, it's more stable, and it's easier to control the horse."

"Try to run two laps." Deng Wu said impatiently.

After He Yi ran two laps, he came back and said, "My lord, this thing is so useful. I feel like I can challenge Commander Dian Wei alone."

"Oh, Yaozu! Jinzhong said he wants to fight you one-on-one, you go and practice with him."

Dian Wei burst into a smile when he heard it, and said, "Good!"

After speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the BMW named 'Black Stone'.After getting on the horse and sitting firmly, he hooked his fingers towards He Yi and said, "Xiao He! Just let the horse come here."

He Yi heard this and rushed towards Dian Wei on horseback.When he was still fifteen steps away from Dianwei, He Yi began to gather strength.

When he was five steps away from Dianwei, He Yi stood up with her sword in both hands.When he was almost in front of Dian Wei, he made a heavy chop, towards Dian Wei's face.Seeing Deng Wu, his eyelids twitched, and he cursed this idiot in his heart, you guys usually compete like this.

Dian Wei saw that He Yi could stand on a horse with both legs and hold a knife with both hands.He also secretly became serious. He was going to take the knife with a single halberd, but instead took it hard with both hands.

Hearing a bang, Dian Wei swayed on the horse's back, and Heishi, who was sitting down, took a step back.

After one blow, He Yi became unforgiving.A dazzling attack was done by Dian Wei, who only had the power to 'parry'.

After ten rounds, He Yi was still knocked off his horse by Dian Wei Yiji.

I saw that idiot He Yi, after being kicked off the horse, shouted at Deng Wu: "Haha! My lord, quickly put this... this iron thing on He Man's horse. My brother and I are going to fight Fatty Dian today. , Don’t you just rely on your strength to bully our brothers? He must be beaten today.”

After hearing this, Deng Wu rolled his eyes. This is a typical example of not remembering to hit.

He said "wait." He greeted a few guards and taught them how to order horseshoes, install saddles, and stirrups.

After a while, ten sets of horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups were installed.Deng Wu looked at He Yi and He Man's double battle with Dian Wei again, huh!Although the result was already expected, it lasted ten rounds longer than usual.Deng Wu concluded that this set of tools could roughly double the knight's combat effectiveness.

Deng Wu looked at the three craftsmen next to him and said, "I need 1500 sets, can it be completed within half a month?"

"There is no problem with the women," Ma said.

"Caomin, there is no problem here." Old Man Chen said.

"Master Taishou, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult here." Old Man Zhao said.

"Hmm! Your master master is in charge of making horseshoes, and apprentices are in charge of making iron nails. I'm sending more people here. I must make 1500 pairs within half a month. I need it urgently."

"This... Master Taishou, you have to see if this is okay? Can these iron nails be modified with the previous copper nails?" Zhao Dezhu said.

"Yes! Yes. My requirement is that it can be nailed on, and the other end must be flat like this." Deng Wu said after thinking for a while.

"Also, the blueprints and the functions of these things cannot be disclosed. When you make them, it is best to make them separately. If you can complete the production according to my requirements, I will give you double wages. However, if you disclose it, don't No wonder there is no money at that time, even life is lost, and family members will be affected." Deng Wu said threateningly.

"I'll wait, I will definitely keep the secret of the blueprint so that it will not be leaked out."

After hearing this, Zhao Dezhu, old man Chen and Mrs. Ma quickly knelt down and swore.

"Well, go down and get ready!" Deng Wu said lightly.

Don't blame Deng Wu for intimidating them, there is no sense of secrecy and patents in this era.If the protection is inadvertent and a foreign race finds out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to watch them?" Cheng Rong beside him said.

"Well! You can arrange a few people to watch them! Focus on old man Zhao." After Deng Wu finished speaking, he turned and went to test the horse.
