It was the use of saddles and stirrups that gave the cavalry of the Huns an advantage over the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Because after being equipped with these things, the cavalry can liberate their hands on the horse, so they can fight with both hands very firmly.
Therefore, their combat strength on horseback will be doubled.
And this technology was quickly introduced to the Han Dynasty, so that the subsequent Han Dynasty no longer suffered from this shortcoming when fighting against the Huns.
But in the Han Dynasty, there were no horseshoes.
The real reference to the horseshoe is the Mongols.
Of course, the Western world has used horseshoes farther back than the Eastern China. In ancient Rome, there were already some horseshoes made of bronze, but the art at that time was not as superb as later generations, and it should be called horseshoe bronze at that time.
In ancient times, the way to protect the horseshoe was to use a soldering iron to iron the bottom of the horseshoe to make it harder.
But the original is fragile after all...
With the addition of horseshoes, not only can more protection be provided to grasshoppers, but also the anti-slip and stability of horseshoes can be enhanced, making soldiers more comfortable in combat.
As for the Mongols, the reason why their cavalry are so lethal is also related to their better horse equipment.
Therefore, these small things may not seem very eye-catching, but they have a qualitative improvement in the combat capability of the cavalry.
Thirty-six thousand cavalry were resting in Chang'an Township, and a large number of stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes had already been built here.
"Come on, send everything to the soldiers."
Xiao He and the others have already mobilized a large number of subjects to wait quietly.
After the soldiers arrived, thousands of subjects immediately took action to distribute the stirrups and saddles to the soldiers.
"Come on, put these things on the horse."
Feng Zheng said, "After they were installed, they all went to the front to put horseshoes on the horses. The iron officials and blacksmiths of the Shaofu were already waiting there."
"promise!"
"After everyone has finished their work, eat a big meal before leaving."
Feng Zheng looked at the crowd and continued, "I have nothing else in the food street in Chang'an Township, but there are quite a few delicious ones. Today, everyone ate and drank, and then continue to go!"
what?
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone was shocked.
Give us?
No way?No way?
The food street in Chang'an Township is already well-known far and wide, and they, of course, have heard of it a long time ago.
but……
Isn't this the rich and powerful of the imperial court, and the children of those rich and powerful are entitled to enjoy it?
Now, for them to enjoy?
"This... Lord Hou..."
A general asked cautiously, "How much do you want to charge?"
After hearing this, the other soldiers looked at each other and looked at Feng Zheng.
yes……
You want to give us food and drink, of course we want to.
But how much do you have to charge?
This is something that only the rich and powerful and their children are entitled to enjoy. Could it be so cheap?
If we collect too much money, we can't afford it...
what?
collect money?
Feng Zheng laughed immediately when he heard this, shook his head, then looked at everyone, and said word by word, "I treat everyone to eat today, and I won't charge you anything, it's all free!"
what?
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, all the soldiers were shocked.
what? !
free?
All for free?
It's not, isn't it?
We must have heard it wrong, right?
The food that we are invited to eat, or the food of the famous Chang'an Township Food Street, is actually free?
Happiness came too suddenly, too unexpectedly...
"Master Hou, Master Hou is not joking with us, is it?"
The man looked surprised after hearing this, and he couldn't believe it.
Not only him, but also countless generals and soldiers, stood there in a daze, with disbelief all over their faces.
free?
impossible!
"What are you laughing at?"
Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Who am I? The great general of the imperial court, how can what I say be a joke? I said I will give you free food, so I will give it to you for free!"
We are all going to fight the enemy, what's wrong with a good meal? "
Huh?
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone dared to believe it.
Surprised!
There is such a good thing in this world?
"Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou!"
The soldiers burst into cheers and cheers, and everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"Okay, work first, then eat!"
"Hey, Noah!"
After hearing the words about sewing needles, all the soldiers got busy excitedly.
"Master Hou..."
Xiao He came in front of Feng Zheng and whispered, "We have prepared this thing, but it really costs a lot to feed tens of thousands of people..."
"It's just a waste of money. You're going to the front line. It's okay to have a good meal."
Feng Zheng said lightly, "After all, people die in war, and some people may never come back in this life.
We can rest assured about the other dignitaries, but those who died for the country, their money cannot be earned like this. "
"promise."
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Xiao He nodded heavily.
"Come here, the best grilled pork belly!"
"Come on, crispy fried pork, it's hot!"
"Come on, everyone, scallion pancake!"
“Excellent steamed fish!”
“Braised hairy crabs!”
……
An assortment of delicacies were brought up one by one. The soldiers, surrounded by a dozen or so, were drooling crazily looking at these delicacies.
They never dreamed that they could still eat such delicacies in this life.
That's right, isn't this something only the rich and powerful can enjoy?
Their humble soldiers never imagined that they would have a day of feasting!
"Come on, everyone, let's eat!"
Feng Zheng raised a big elbow, "We must let the brothers have a good time today!
After we win the battle and come back, I will treat you to another meal! "
"Thank you Hou Ye!"
"Thank you Hou Ye!"
After listening to Feng Zheng's words, everyone was suddenly excited again!
"Master Hou treated us so well. If we follow Master Hou, even if we die in battle, it will be worth it!"
"Yes, Lord Hou, we will follow you, we will not be afraid of death!"
Chapter 337
"It's not about death, we fight, it's not about dying, it's about killing the enemy!"
Feng Zheng held up his elbow, "Come on! Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want, and eat and drink to your heart's content!"
"Come!"
All the soldiers responded eagerly when they saw it!
"This great general is really rare in ancient and modern times..."
Looking at all the soldiers in front of him, cheering for Feng Zheng, Li Xin couldn't help being dumbfounded, and shook his head with a smile, "No wonder His Majesty relies so much on him, he is really a young hero."
After finishing speaking, he took a hard bite of the chicken leg in his hand.
This taste is sweet and salty, so delicious...
"General Li, are you eating well?"
Just as Li Xin lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken leg, Feng Zheng came in front of Li Xin.
Seeing this, Li Xin's expression changed immediately, and he was about to get up, his legs were already half-bent, but he stopped suddenly, and then he turned back and sat down.
"Marquis Chang'an, forgive me."
Li Xin said slightly, "A few days ago, I was ill, so Uncle Feng Xiang and the others went to visit. Now, my legs and feet are still a little weak."
"Ah……"
Feng Zheng smiled, "Then General Li should sit down, there are many people here."
ho...
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Li Xin also smiled immediately, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"uh-huh."
Feng Zheng coughed dryly, and then asked, "General Li, this large army is going on an expedition. Your Majesty wants us to flatten Fujian, Yue and Ouyue. Which one do you think we should fight first?"
I?
Li Xin was taken aback, and immediately asked, "The general is the commander of the three armies. May I ask the general, which one do you think should be fought first?"
"I?"
Feng Zheng said lightly, "Of course we should attack Minyue first, since there are many people in Minyue."
"Oh, what the general said is wrong!"
Li Xin said seriously, "There are many people in Minyue, so it is difficult to fight. It is better to fight Ouyue first. Ouyue has few people, so we should fight first. It will not only shock the mountain, but also boost morale."
"Hey, General Lee doesn't know how to fight, does he?"
Feng Zheng smiled, "How many people are there in this land of Ouyue? You only know how to shake mountains and shake tigers, so don't you know how to scare snakes? It's unreasonable!"
