People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

"Ma Jun, tell Zilong what's on the table."

Sun Ce said with a smile.

"promise."

Ma Jun bowed his body and picked up an iron object from the table.

"It's a horseshoe.

nailed to a horseshoe.

Horseshoes have two major benefits.

One is to delay the wear of the hooves.

The other is to give the horse's hooves a firmer grip on the ground.

Great for riding and driving.

General Zhao Yun can ride a horse, right?

You should know what a horseshoe does. "

Ma Jun held up the horseshoe and smiled at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun became short of breath.

His eyes were fixed on the iron hoof of the horse.

There were no horseshoes during the Three Kingdoms period.

Horseshoes did not appear until the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the service life of war horses in the Three Kingdoms period is generally only two or three years.

It's not that war horses can't live that long.

Instead, cavalry rode horses to fight north and south.

The hooves are in contact with the ground.

Affected by the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water.

Will fall off quickly.

If the horseshoe is useless, the war horse will naturally be retired.

Moreover, war horses generally cannot be used in rainy days.

The road is muddy due to rain.

War horses are prone to slipping.

At that time, not only the horses will be injured, but people will also be injured.

It can be said.

These two problems have always been a problem for the cavalry.

Regrettably.

No one has come up with a solution to the problem.

In general.

That's what anyone who owns cavalry does.

First, buy more horses, and the super rich raise horses themselves.

As long as there are enough horses.

Even if the horse's hooves are severely damaged, new war horses will soon be replaced.

Second, do not send cavalry to fight in rainy weather.

At the same time, the cavalry is not allowed to go to complex terrain and muddy areas.

But now, Ma Jun took out something called a horseshoe.

It means that the two long-standing problems of the cavalry are not problems at all.

There are horseshoes.

A horse's hooves are not in direct contact with the ground.

It can delay the wear of the horseshoe to the greatest extent.

Greatly increase the service life of war horses.

Reduce a huge expense.

It also makes the horse's combat effectiveness stronger.

War horses can firmly grip the ground with the help of horseshoes.

Even in muddy areas, you can still run normally without worrying about falling.

Zhao Yun was both excited and a little bit unbelievable.

The main reason is that the effect of the horseshoe is too great, which shocked Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun couldn't help asking.

"Dean Ma, is what you said true?

Horseshoes really have such a big effect? "

"There is a saying that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

The role of the horseshoe is the conclusion of the test, absolutely correct. "

Ma Jun said with a smile.

After a pause, Ma Jun glanced at Sun Ce and said.

"Besides, my lord is watching this matter.

Give me 1 guts, and I won't dare to deceive the lord. "

"Ma Jun is right, he dare not lie to me."

Sun Ce said with a smile.

"Zilong, you don't have to doubt.

Horseshoes do have such a huge effect. "

"My lord, forgive me, this subordinate is not suspicious of Dean Ma.

It's just that the effect of the horseshoe is too amazing.

The subordinates couldn't believe it. "

Zhao Yun quickly apologized.

"It's okay."

Sun Ce smiled, and his eyes fell on Ma Jun.

"Continue to introduce the saddle and stirrup."

"promise."

Ma Jun bowed to accept the order.

"General Zhao Yun, may I ask how the cavalry of this era ride horses?"

Ma Jun did not explain the saddle and stirrup immediately.

Instead, he asked Zhao Yun with a smile.

"A cavalryman needs to ride on a naked horse, relying on holding on to the reins or the mane.

And clamp the horse's belly with his legs so that he will not fall when the horse is galloping. "

"Is this method reliable?"

"Not reliable."

Zhao Yun thought for a while, then honestly shook his head.

Riding on a naked horse.

The first is the need to concentrate.

And clamp the horse's belly firmly, otherwise it will fall off easily.

Second, riding for a long time is prone to fatigue.

At the same time, it was difficult to use bows and arrows effectively on the back of a galloping horse.

Why is Baima Yicong known as the best cavalry in the world?

It is because Baima Yicong has a unique skill in riding and shooting.

They can shoot arrows while riding horses.

If the enemy can't do it, they can only be beaten passively.

"Last question, does General Zhao Yun think I've ever ridden a horse?"

Ma Jun asked.

Zhao Yun glanced at Ma Jun, shook his head, and said bluntly.

"I'm sure you've never ridden a horse."

"Yes, I have never ridden a horse.

Please look after General Zhao Yun.

A miracle will follow. "

Ma Jun smiled.

Grab the saddle and stirrups and go to the war horse in the yard.

Sun Ce watched leisurely with a smile on his face.
