The Qin Dynasty cavalry did not have so many horses in rotation at all, and each cavalry was generally matched with at most two horses, and many cavalry had only one horse!
This is also the reason why Meng Tian led an army of 30 in the north and could only passively adopt defensive methods and build the Great Wall.
Due to the limited number of horses, it was impossible to catch up with the Hun cavalry who came and went like the wind!
Wang Jian muttered to himself: "If the horse problem is not resolved, the plan to completely subdue or eliminate the Xiongnu will be greatly affected!"
In the battle against the Huns, it was necessary to come and go like the wind like the Huns' cavalry. He believed that the more than 3 cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty must be equipped with at least four horses each.
In this way, at least [-] excellent war horses need to be added, which is not a small number.
Only in this way, with a large number of infantry, can Wang Jian be sure to completely destroy the Huns.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Jian decided to meet the First Emperor.
……
Xianyang, the imperial palace, the imperial study.
After Wang Jian reported the situation to Ying Zheng in detail, he waited quietly.
Ying Zheng paced back and forth, frowning.
It was not easy for Daqin to form this cavalry force of more than 3 people. Many war horses were bought from the Western Regions through merchants.
Now ask Ying Zheng to gather nearly [-] excellent war horses all at once, he has no choice!
In the world, only the powerful grassland countries such as Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Donghu can produce [-] excellent war horses at once.
But they have a bad relationship with Da Qin, and it is impossible to sell horses to Da Qin!
By smuggling?
Quantity is very limited!
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "Marquis Wucheng, do you have to fight like this? Can't you arrange more infantry?"
"Your Majesty, if we want the expected effect of the extermination of the Xiongnu in the north, and the land of the Xiongnu be included in our Daqin territory, we must prepare another [-] war horses!
Originally, the number of Daqin cavalry was far less than that of the Xiongnu. If the speed of my cavalry could not keep up with the Xiongnu cavalry due to the problem of war horses, this battle would be impossible! "Wang Jian said, picking his son.
Ying Zheng frowned even more, and said angrily, "Wang Jian, Wang Jian, you will give me a problem! Do you think I am a god? Can I suddenly conjure [-] horses for you!"
While talking, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of someone.
Isn't Mr. Tiandaolou just like a fairy?
Maybe Mr. has a way!
Chapter 48: It's so small, its functions are against the sky
Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Come here, prepare three boxes of gold and silver jewelry and precious antiques for me, I am going to Tiandaolou!"
You must bring enough money to see Mr.
Because Ying Zheng often went to Tiandaolou, the emperor's private treasury was already quite empty.
"No!" An eunuch led the way.
Soon three boxes of treasures and antiques were ready, and Ying Zheng said, "Marquis Wucheng, go with me to Tiandaolou!"
"No!" Wang Jian clasped his fists in a salute.
A small flame of hope ignited in his heart.
Maybe Mr. really has a way.
……
Heaven Tower.
Chen Qilin was leaning on the sofa, drinking coffee and watching Teacher Puerto's new show with a sense of satisfaction.
The big black dog, as sturdy as a bodybuilder, squatted beside its owner, with a pair of dark dog eyes staring at the new fan in the owner's hands without blinking, and drooling.
boom!
Seeing Xiao Hei's ghostly appearance, Chen Qilin put down the coffee and knocked on its head to reprimand:
"Go away, young dog is not suitable!"
The big black dog had no choice but to glance at its owner resentfully, and squatted to the side with small steps aggrieved.
The big black dog's small eyes seemed to say:
"Master, I'm an adult dog, and I'm an old driver!"
At the moment, Wang Ying is doing housework in the backyard.
Chen Qilin watched today's new show, stood up and put it away, and stretched.
【Ding!Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to Tiandaolou! 】
When Chen Qilin heard the system's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself, "The God of Wealth is here again!"
Soon, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to the living room.
Chen Qilin greeted with a smile: "Welcome, Your Majesty, Marquis Wucheng, please take a seat!"
At the same time, the information of the two appeared in front of him.
Ying Zheng sat on the leather sofa, still as comfortable as ever.
Seeing Wang Jian still standing there, he said, "Marquis Wucheng, sit down!"
"Your Majesty, that old minister is not lucky enough to sit on this sofa!" Wang Jian's old fritters still shied away.
Ying Zheng said with a straight face: "I ask you to sit, you sit! Your pestle is there to make people look uncomfortable and an eyesore!"
"Hey, the old minister sits down!"
Wang Jian said, and sat down with a big butt, the sofa was soft and bouncy, the tight wrapping was so refreshing, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and his beard upturned.
Chen Qilin said: "Ying Er, two cups of coffee!"
"Yes, sir!" A beautiful girl's voice came from the backyard.
Soon Wang Ying, who was quick-witted, brought the coffee.
After Wang Jian took the coffee, he took a sip and instructed his granddaughter earnestly:
"Ying Er, you must serve Mr., listen to Mr.'s words, and meet all the requirements of Mr.
You can't talk back, let alone disobey Mr.
Sir, let you go west, never east!
Sir told you to lie down, you must not stand up..."
Wang Yingqiao's face blushed slightly and nodded.
Grandpa's hints like this made her very embarrassed.
Ying Zheng couldn't bear to see Wang Jian, an old fox, who was desperately trying to match his granddaughter with her husband.
Do you still have me in your eyes?
Are you too shameless?
Mr. I met first, and I first saw it for my own princess!
Cough!
However, before Ying Zheng could speak, Chen Qilin interrupted Wang Jian with a dry cough and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty and Marquis Wucheng came to my Tiandao Tower today, what's the matter?"
Men are capable and handsome, but they are troubles!
The tree wants to be quiet, but these unfortunate winds keep blowing!
After Wang Ying greeted His Majesty, grandfather and husband, she hurriedly fled the living room and went back to the backyard to water the flowers and plants.
Wang Jian stopped speaking, and His Majesty's eyes pretended not to see, and continued to smile.
Wang Jian's old fritters brought the phrase "as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed" to the fullest!
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Jian and said, "Yes, let's talk about business, talk about business!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Chen Qilin smiled.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "Marquis Wu Cheng, you are very eloquent and articulate, so tell your teacher in detail about the difficulties you have encountered!"
Let this old fritters go to waste!
"No!" Wang Jian obeyed, and then told Chen Qilin in detail about the difficulties that might be encountered in destroying the Xiongnu in the north, that is, the lack of horses.
After Wang Jian finished speaking, Ying Zheng said:
"Sir, is there anything you can do?"
Chen Qilin immediately thought of two things:
Stirrups and horseshoes (horseshoes).
The Qin Dynasty already had a simple saddle, but no stirrups and horseshoes.
If the Daqin cavalry were equipped with these two items, their combat power would be doubled.
These two great inventions, the stirrup and the horse's iron shoe, were small, but they profoundly changed ancient warfare.
If the heavy cavalry swept across the battlefield without stirrups will become a display; without horseshoes, Genghis Khan's whip cannot wield the Ural Mountains!
The device is as small as this, and its function is against the sky.
Before the invention of the stirrup, the cavalry mainly killed the enemy by shooting arrows, relying on their legs to clamp the horse's belly to maintain balance.
If the heavy cavalry rushes to kill without stirrups, it is an idiot dream. Because of the strong reaction force brought by hitting the target, the cavalry will be thrown off the horse immediately and be trampled to death by the war horse!
After the stirrup was invented, the upper body of the cavalry was fully liberated, and the reaction force brought by the rushing could be offset by the stirrup, which was closely integrated with the horse and became one.
Only in this way can an overwhelming charge of heavy cavalry be achieved, sweeping everything.
It is not a lie to say that the stirrups made the heavy cavalry brilliant!
……
People often say that the horseshoe refers to the cuticle on the sole of the horse, similar to the fingernails on the human hand.
Before the invention of the horseshoe, the horseshoe was a key factor limiting the combat radius of cavalry.
If a horse runs a long distance for a long time, the hooves will easily crack or even fall off, and a horse will be basically useless.
After the horseshoe was invented, the cavalry no longer had to worry that the horse would become a lame horse due to the hoof falling off.
The cavalry can safely charge boldly.
It was also the invention of the horseshoe that allowed the Mongolian cavalry to cross the Helan Mountains, reach the Danube River, swept across Europe and Asia, and created the glorious miracle of God's Whip!
Although Chen Qilin knew about horseshoes and stirrups, which could increase the combat effectiveness and combat radius of the Daqin cavalry with the same number of horses and the same horses, he did not know the specific design of the stirrups and horseshoes.
"System, how to solve the difficulties that Ying Zheng encountered in destroying the Huns?" Chen Qilin asked.
He wanted to see if the system's answer was the same as his own.
【Ding!The system mall has been updated with new products. The host can spend 10 days to purchase the design drawings of stirrups, horseshoes and Gaoqiao saddles. With these three items, the combat power of the Qin cavalry can be doubled, and the quality can be improved to make up for the lack of quantity! 】
Chen Qilin heard the words of the system, secretly called out the system mall panel, and found that the above three things were refreshed.
"Sir..." Seeing that Mr. Ying Zheng was in a daze, he urged.
Chen Qilin regained his senses and said to himself, "Your Majesty, there is a way..."
Ying Zheng's face is full of smiles, there is a way to solve it!
Then he smiled and said, "Come here, bring in all the gold, silver, jewelry and antiques!"
Chapter 49: Is Wu Chenghou crazy?
Ying Zheng knew that he had to pay to let Mr.
Also, it's expensive!
Soon the guards carried three treasure chests into the living room of Tiandaolou.
Chen Qilin's eyes swept across the treasure chest.
