Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Xu Ding pondered for a while, and Guo Jia also said: "My lord, since Mr. Huang's daughter can improve the short crossbow once, it may not be impossible to go further. First equip a thousand crossbows. When there is a better short crossbow in the future, it is not necessary to supplement it. Late."

What Guo Jia said is not without reason.

Xu Ding knew what they were worried about. First, they were afraid of spending money. Second, the new short crossbow was too powerful. If it was given to any army, the captains of other armies would have objections.

Xu Ding finally had no choice but to nod and said: "Okay, let's build a thousand first and use it for the government guards."

All three of them smiled knowingly.

In this way, the original military expenditure of nearly 3000 to 1000 million was cut to about [-] million.

After dealing with foreign affairs, the sky was getting dizzy, eating and chatting with the four daughters in the mansion, when I got up the next day, Xu Ding had someone call Zhao Yun, Liang Xi, Huang Zhong, and Han Dang.

The four came to sit down, Zhao Yun asked: "My lord, what's the matter with calling us here?"

Xu Ding nodded, and then said: "The main reason I called you here is to ask your thoughts on the dispatch of troops to Youzhou. Have you made a summary of this dispatch, and have you found any shortcomings in our cavalry?"

The four looked at each other, and then Han Dang said: "My lord, we have indeed discovered a lot of problems in this trip. Our army's cavalry is too early to form an army, and the training is not enough. This expedition depends entirely on having the lord to accompany us. I am afraid that it will be difficult to win a complete victory without the real combat effectiveness of the army."

The other three nodded in agreement.

This is a fact, if there is no promise, even if they are brave, they dare not say that the Wuhuan army is defeated, but it is extremely difficult to win a big victory, and even have to pay a huge price.

"Very good! The four of you are still aware of your own shortcomings, and you are not complacent. This is what I expected." Xu Ding was very satisfied with the performance of the four of them, and then asked:

"Do you think the two most important problems of our army are the two most important problems, one is insufficient training, the cavalry cannot reach the level of barbarian soldiers or frontier cavalry, and they cannot exert their maximum combat effectiveness; Is the experience still too little?"

The four nodded, and Han Dang had the most right to speak, because he was originally a soldier at the border gate in western Liaoning. He stayed at the border gate for several years. In the end, because the guard was from a family, he felt that he had no future, so he went south.

Too little experience, this is a big problem, Xu Ding knew why Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong was so powerful in the original history, which made Yuan Shao afraid.

It was because of the paranoid Gongsun Zan, a big lunatic, that he would call Wuhuan to beat him when he had nothing to do in the west of Liaoning. It was a small beating every three days, and a big beating every five days.

Bai Ma Yicong was truly trained from blood and fire, so he was extremely elite and became his reliance in the Central Plains.

The real elite soldiers are forged by rigorous drills and the baptism of war, not by shouting slogans.

"My lord, are we going to go to war again?" Zhao Yun seemed to have heard the smell, so he took the initiative to ask.

He believed that Xu Ding would not ask them to talk about this for no reason.

The other three looked at Xu Ding expectantly upon hearing this.

Xu Ding said: "It's still Zilong who has a clever mind. That's right. I called you here this time to hope that you will not relax. We may go to Bingzhou to fight in the next year."

Bingzhou!

The four instantly understood the purpose of the expedition.

Following the turmoil in Youzhou, after Erzhang united with Wuhuan to rebel against the Han, the imperial court recruited the Southern Huns to quell the rebellion. As a result, the Southern Huns followed suit, and the Shuofang area of ​​​​Bingzhou was also in turmoil.

Hit the Southern Huns!

The four of them couldn't help being extremely excited, and their hearts were full of anger.

"However, when I go to Bingzhou, I will only bring a captain. As for which army to bring, I haven't made up my mind yet. There will be an assessment at that time. Whichever captain wins, I will take whichever captain." Xu Dinghan He looked at the four of them with a smile.

The four were taken aback when they heard the words, then Zhao Yun looked at Huang Zhong, and Liang Xi looked at Han Dang.

Only when there is competition can there be pressure, and only when there is pressure can progress be made.

From this moment on, the two cavalry captains will compete secretly and compete with each other.

Then the four of them went out together and clasped their fists together, saying: "My lord, I will fulfill my mission and train a cavalry force that will not disappoint my lord before going out."

"Okay! Then I'll wait and see." Xu Ding nodded slightly, then let the four return to their seats, and then said:

"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, I am going to build a batch of small gadgets for the cavalry, and put them all on your two captains before the New Year."

Gadgets to improve cavalry?

The four of them were a little dazed.

Huang Zhong asked: "What is the gadget that the lord is talking about?"

"Two small objects, one is called the horseshoe, which is shaped like an iron hoof nailed under the horse's crow, allowing the horse to gallop on any terrain without any scruples; the other is called the stirrup, which is tied on both sides of the saddle and hangs on both sides of the horse's belly. , you can use it to stabilize your body during the war, and you can relieve the pressure on your legs and save your energy when you are resting." Xu Ding stood up and said:

"Go! I'll take you to have a look."

(The saddle existed as early as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The archaeological name is the Han saddle, so it is not taken out here to install 13, but the Han saddle has a lot of improvement, and it may be mentioned later if necessary.)

Horseshoes, stirrups!

It was so amazing, the four were very curious and looking forward to it.

Then he followed Xu Ding out of the Prefect's Mansion and came to the Armament Forging Department under the Ordnance Department.

The person in charge of the weapons forging department was Old Li, who had helped Zhang Fei and Guan Yu take photos of their weapons in Youzhou. Xu Ding felt that this person's forging skills were good, so he directly invited him over.

"Old Li, how many times have Ma Ma T and Ma Ma P played?"

(ps: The grades are very dismal, and there is a sense of suffocation that drives people into the abyss of the valley, like swords and swords slashing at Jiangshan in all directions, very depressed, bald, manic, helpless, and... But Jiangshan can still I can stand it, because there are still a few people who support Jiangshan, which makes Jiangshan find the spark that guides the direction in the lonely night. Still everyone in the future!

Finally, I would like to appeal to those who are about to lose their loved ones to go to Chuangshi Chinese website or QQ reading to continue to support Jiangshan. )

Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Bingzhou and the Xiongnu

When Old Li saw Xu Ding, he put away his tools, wiped his sweat with a linen cloth and said, "My lord, I made a hundred copies each according to your request, and I made all of them myself. Take a look."

Because it is an experimental product, although the thing is simple, but the process is not yet proficient, so Xu Ding can only trust Old Li.

Looking at the piled horseshoes and stirrups, Xu Ding stretched out his hand to check a few pairs, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said: "Lao Li has worked hard, you should teach other people how to make them first, let them wipe their hands and practice, and get familiar with the process." , Improve the assembly process. After Zilong and Hansheng finish their experiments, you will be producing in large quantities."

"It's my lord!" Old man Li responded.

Now most of Donglai's ordnance is carried out on the assembly line according to the agreed requirements, and the craftsmen divide and cooperate, and each person is responsible for one item. This way, the quality is guaranteed, there will be no unevenness, and the speed can be accelerated.

After leaving with a hundred pairs of horseshoes and stirrups, Xu Ding asked Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others to draw 50 people from their own soldiers to equip them with these two things, and then conduct experiments on the training ground.

Zhao Yun, Liang Xi, Huang Zhong, and Han Dang led 96 soldiers onto their horses and put their feet on the stirrups. Sure enough, their bodies were more stable, they could stand up straight on the horses, and they could use weapons more smoothly.

Combat effectiveness is immediate.

Then everyone clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and the horses galloped one after another.

The hooves of the horseshoes stepped on the frozen ground, and there was a thick and tearing sound. The people sitting on the horses clearly felt that the horses felt much less bumpy, and after the horses ran for 600 meters, they seemed to be moving. I also fell in love with the horseshoe under the hoof, and ran very happily, and found that I used to step on the gravel ground.
