The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan looked at the horse and checked it up and down. It was a Xiliang war horse, tall, but the equipment on it was very simple. In addition to the bridle, it was also covered with a simple mat. Just nothing.

If Sun Quan's memory is correct, stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes, the equipment on the horse's body, should not appear in history until after the Jin Dynasty.

"Second brother, what are you looking at?" Sun Ce was a little confused.

"I didn't see anything, but I came up with a little idea. You guys continue to train and send me back to the city. I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" Sun Quan said to the horse, inspecting it carefully before standing up.

"Okay!" Sun Ce believed in Sun Quan, called a few soldiers, and sent Sun Quan back to the city. He stayed and planned to live in the barracks, and began to train the cavalry steadily. After all, this was the first horse that Sun Jian gave him. As for the troops, he attaches great importance to them.

Sun Quan returned to the Sun family's mansion under the escort of a few cavalry, and soon got into his small study, and began to recall the structural pattern of the three treasures on horseback.

It took more than an hour to completely draw the pattern, and it was already afternoon.

"Uncle Hou!" Sun Quan called the housekeeper of the Sun family.

"Second son!" Sun Hou, an old man who has followed Sun Jian since he was a boy, is loyal to Sun Jian and is unwilling to lead troops. He has been a housekeeper for Sun Jian and managed the Sun family well. Everyone returned to Wu County together.

"In Wu County, is there a workshop for making swords in the property under the name of our Sun family?" Sun Quan asked. There is a large workshop under the name of the county guard's mansion, but this thing is not really tested yet. Not suitable for mass production.

"Yes, there is, but it's just a small workshop. It can only make ordinary swords and swords, but it can't make good weapons. If the second son wants to make weapons, he can go directly to the big workshop." Hou Bo said respectfully.

"No, anyone who can make a sword is fine, Uncle Hou, please run for me and let them make this for me. Remember, it must be kept secret. Whoever dares to leak it, I will kill him!" Sun Quan took the blueprint Give it to uncle.

"Promise!" Hou Bo's expression was startled, he clearly felt the chill on Sun Quan's body, nodded quickly, took the blueprint, and walked out.

After watching Uncle Hou go out, Sun Quan sat on the chair with a small body, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "Hey! This soldier still needs to practice, and he needs some ideas!"

"How to train this soldier?" Sun Quan was silent.

Immediately after he left his own courtyard, he walked out of Sun Jian's study, and began to search for Sun Jian's military books. High, and not used on a large scale, there are still many books written on bamboo slips, cloth and silk.

Sun Quan read very hard, and he didn't find some useful books until it was dark, and then moved him back to his study, thinking about the outline of military training while reading.

But after meditating until midnight, I still didn't have much clue.

The next day, early in the morning, Sun Quan was in a hazy sleep, so he was pulled up by Sun Ce who broke in. He had no choice but to get up, wash up, eat breakfast, and then took a piece of paper given by the housekeeper. The big wooden box went straight to the barracks.

"Bring a war horse here!" After entering the cavalry barracks, Sun Quan couldn't wait to try the effect of the three cavalry treasures he had made in advance.

"Second Young Master, what is this?"

"Second brother, this thing looks good!"

Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Sun He all looked overjoyed when they saw it. With their years of riding horses, they could immediately see the preciousness of these three items.

"This is a stirrup. It is very useful when getting on and off the horse or when running and leaping to fight. It can make the cavalry's feet have a stress point!" Sun Quan introduced the three pieces of equipment he brought to the horse. .

"This is a saddle. As you can see, its main function is to stabilize the figure of the warrior on the horse, and it is more comfortable when riding a horse."

"The last one is a horseshoe, which is nailed to the horse's leg. It seems that we need shoes, and horses also need them. With horseshoes, we can prevent unnecessary damage to the horse's hooves!"

It took half an hour before Sun Quan put all three pieces of equipment on a war horse, and then turned to several people and asked, "Which one of you will give it a try and see how it works?"

"Second Young Master, I'm coming!" Zhou Tai stood up, stepped on the stirrup, got on the horse, rode the horse out of the tent, and began to run on the school field.

[Text Chapter 53 on the distribution of forces in Jiangdong]

Zhou Tai rode his war horse and circled the Dajiao field for five or six times before stopping.

"How?" Sun Ce and the others had already walked out of the big tent and came to the school grounds. Looking at Zhou Tai, Sun Quan asked impatiently.

"Hahaha...Okay, great!"

Zhou Tai got off his horse, with an excited expression, and said loudly: "General, second son, with this three treasures, a certain family can really let go of their hands and feet on the horse, and at least display more than [-]% more combat power than before."

"Is this true?" Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't believe it, so he asked hastily.

If it is of such great help to Zhou Tai, who is proficient in riding skills, one can imagine the benefits of this thing.

"General, my subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense." Zhou Tai nodded affirmatively.

"Let me try it!" Sun Ce stepped forward, followed the stirrups, turned over beautifully, sat firmly on the horse's back, and shouted: "Bring my gun!"

Two personal soldiers carried out Sun Ce's Overlord Silver Spear from the big tent. Sun Ce bent over, grabbed the spear, and galloped wildly around the school grounds. One pick: "Break! Break! Break!"

After running for several laps in a row, he stopped, and laughed wildly excitedly: "Hahaha... With this thing in hand, why should my Jiangdong cavalry be afraid of the northern cavalry!"

Since ancient times, southern cavalry has been inferior to northern cavalry. This is an unbreakable fact.

But with the three treasures of the cavalry, Sun Ce is full of confidence. He believes that he will be able to train a peerless cavalry capable of confronting the Northland.

Sun Quan also showed a satisfied smile when he saw it. He can make up for the biggest shortcoming of Jiangdong Army. In the future, even the Yangtze River will not be able to stop the pace of Jiangdong Cavalry.

"Second brother, where did this thing come from?" Sun Ce asked anxiously, Zhou Tai and Sun He also stared at Sun Quan with a ray of hope.

"I designed it. Here are the blueprints. You can just give it to your father, and let the big workshop under his command make it!" Sun Quan blushed without panting, and proudly took the heavy credit into his arms.

"Second brother, when did you also study Mohism?" Several people were overjoyed, Sun Ce was slightly startled, and asked.

"Read more miscellaneous books, and you will learn it naturally!" Sun Quan said awkwardly.

"General, I will go to see the lord right away, and make this treasure as soon as possible, so that our cavalry can form combat effectiveness in the shortest time." Sun He said carefully putting the blueprint into a delicate box.

"Brother Bohai, you have to remind father to keep it secret when the people below make it." Sun Quan reminded that the manufacturing process of this thing is actually not complicated. As long as it is on the battlefield, it is easy for people to capture it and then imitate it. , but if they can keep it secret for a while, the Jiangdong cavalry will have an advantage.

"A certain family understands!" Sun He nodded heavily.

........................

In the next few days, Sun Ce and the others were busy with the deployment of the three treasures of the cavalry. Cai Yan was entangled with his mother and Aunt Qin, unable to get away, and had no time to talk to him.

Wu Wan and Wu Qin are also slightly talented. Seeing Cai Yan as a talented woman, they naturally have a good impression of her. They even asked Cai Yan to enlighten and teach the little ones in the mansion. Cai Yan did not refuse. After all, there is something to do. So boring, if she was so serious, she would become a teacher and put Sun Quan aside.

Sun Quan had no choice but to read Sun Jian's military books quietly in the mansion, and then began to silently study the outline of military training based on the knowledge he had learned from modern times.

Troop training is indeed not an easy task, but it is actually simple to say simple.

As the saying goes, everything is inseparable from it. What the army pays attention to is unity of action, unity and cooperation, and then gather battle formations. Although there are fierce generals in this era, and personal force has reached its peak, one person can form an army.

However, even Sun Jian, an invincible super general, might be hated in the face of a united battle formation formed by thousands of elite soldiers.

Sun Quan knew that he was not good at cavalry, and he didn't know much about the battle formation, so he just grasped it tightly and moved in unison.

This is very important.

It took more than ten days for Sun Quan to learn the training outline silently, but he had not greeted Sun Ce to discuss the details, so Sun Jian summoned him to the county guard's mansion.
