"Yuan Jian, find someone to make a few of these things using leather and iron tools."

Zhuge Tian gave Liao Hua some drawings.

"These things... look weird. What are they good for?"

"You'll know once you get someone to beat you up!"

"Fine!"

Liao Hua left with the drawings.

The items are not complicated, and there are quite a few craftsmen in Wolong Village now.

It was ready during lunch time.

Liao Hua shook the bent piece of iron in his hand and asked, "This thing doesn't look like a weapon to me. What is it used for?"

"Hehe, wash the dishes and I'll tell you." Zhuge Tian put down the dishes.

"Me washing it again? I was the one who washed it yesterday."

"Forget it, just let me drink the soup slowly, then go out for a walk to help digest the food, and then come back and wash the dishes slowly."

"Well, you're awesome!" Liao Hua took Zhuge Tian's bowl away.

"And mine!" Gan Ning shouted.

"Dream on you!"

When Liao Hua finished washing the dishes, he saw Xu Chu pressing a horse to the ground with its four legs facing the sky.

Gan Ning stood on the horse's belly with his feet apart, holding its hind legs.

"Stop, what are you going to do to my dark cloud!" Liao Hua shouted and rushed over.

"Don't make a noise, it's okay." Zhuge Tian pointed at the horse's hoof and said, "Last time, didn't you, Wuyun, step on the blade of a broken sword? It took a long time for the hoof to heal, didn't it?"

"Now I just want to put shoes on him."

"Wear...shoes? For the horse...for the dark cloud?"

"Yeah." Zhuge Tian waved the horseshoe that Liao Hua had just asked someone to make.

The drawings given to Liao Hua today are the production drawings of horseshoes, Gaoqiao saddles and stirrups.

Zhuge Tian bought it using the balance of 3000 in the cash register system.

Although he knew what horseshoes, saddles and stirrups looked like, he couldn't tell the specific dimensions. Instead of slowly figuring it out, it would be more convenient to just buy drawings from the Tang and Song dynasties.

"Hold on tight!" Zhuge Tian said to Gan Ning, and then began to nail the horseshoes on Wuyun.

At first Liao Hua was worried that Wu Yun would feel pain, but he found that there didn't seem to be any big reaction.

"This is good, this is good. With this, we won't have to worry about the horse's hooves being injured by gravel, broken blades, etc. on the ground during battle." Liao Hua said happily.

"That's not all." Zhuge Tian put the saddle and stirrups on Wuyun according to the drawing, and then said to Liao Hua, "You try it."

Although I have never used these two things, I know what they are for at a glance.

Liao Hua pressed Wuyun's neck with one hand, first put his left foot into the stirrup, then exerted force to flip over and sat steadily in the middle of the saddle.

He even swayed it back and forth, left and right, and grinned, "Hanxing, these stirrups and saddle are also good things. Now I feel so strong!"

After saying this, he pointed the long sword in his hand at Gan Ning, Xu Chu and the others and said, "Come on, come on, who dares to fight me?"

"Zilong, go!" Zhuge Tian said.

Gan Ning and Xu Chu were both very ruthless in their attacks.

You can tell from the fact that Xu Chu was able to break Zhuge Liang's bones by arm wrestling.

"Yes!" Zhao Yun got on his warhorse, nodded to Liao Hua, then squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed forward with a spear in hand.

The two men didn't really fight to the death. After only three or four rounds, Zhao Yun retreated.

"Combat power has increased by at least 30%, possibly even more."

Zhao Yun said with some excitement.

Liao Hua's combat power can be increased by 30%. If his warhorse is equipped with the same saddle and stirrups, his combat power will also be increased.

Liao Hua also felt that riding the horse today, both controlling the horse and exerting force, was much easier than before.

Still not satisfied, he shouted, "Come on, Xingba, Zhongkang, come and fight too."

"Okay, we now have nearly 500 war horses. I'll ask everyone to work hard and make all the saddles and stirrups."

We received news yesterday that Cao's army had captured Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu retreated to Rang County, which was later known as Dengzhou, Henan.

Although Zhuge Liang said that Cao's army would probably spend the winter in Wancheng and would not continue to move south.

However, when Zhang Xiu retreated, he burned down the granary in Wancheng.

So he thought that Cao's army might not attack the city, but a small group of elite cavalry would enter Jingzhou to plunder food and grass.

There is a lot of food in Wolong Village, so we have to prepare it early.

Fortunately, this time when I went out to sell grain, I had already converted cowhide and other materials into some cash.

There are plenty of materials in Wolong Village, so making a saddle is not too difficult.

Within a few days, all the war horses were equipped with new equipment.

Liao Hua complained beside Zhuge Tian, ​​"Next time you have something good like this, tell me about it first so I can enjoy it for a few more days!"

Originally, with his new equipment, he was barely able to fight Gan Ning and the others on equal terms.

As a result, now everyone has installed saddles and stirrups, and he is no match for them if he fights with them.

Before Zhuge Tian could say anything, the voice of the scout came from the intercom:

"This is the North Second Tower. This is the North Second Tower. A small group of cavalry has been spotted. A small group of cavalry has been spotted."

"What you said really happened." Zhuge Tian smiled slightly: "Let's go and take a look."

Several people mounted their horses and headed towards the north of the village. Only Xu Chu ran a few steps to the east first, but when he found that no one was heading in that direction, he quickly turned his horse around and followed.

When we arrived at the north of the village, we ran into the incoming cavalry.

I counted the number of people and there were about 120 of them.

A bearded general came to the front and glanced at them with disdain.

"I am Wu Ba, a subordinate of General Zhenwei, Li Wenda. I am here today to borrow food."

"Who is Li Wenda?" Zhuge Tian turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

"It should be Li Tong, Li Wenda, a native of Jiangxia. After raising an army in Langling, he defected to Cao Cao in the early years of the Jian'an period and was appointed General Zhenwei of the Central Army and stationed at the western border of Runan County." Zhuge Liang said, "I heard that a Yellow Turban general, Wu Ba, was defeated by Li Tong and surrendered to him. This must be him."

Zhuge Tian gave Zhuge Liang a thumbs up, saying that his extensive knowledge and strong memory were indeed impressive.

After Wu Ba finished speaking, he found that the two guys opposite him were actually chatting among themselves.

He flew into a rage and said, "Cao Gong has already marched to Wancheng. If you don't hand over the grain, don't blame us for being rude!"

Zhuge Tian looked at him and asked, "You just said you wanted to borrow it, but now you want it. Are you borrowing it or wanting it?"

"Hmph, anyway, just hand over all the food you have to me. Whether you return it or not, we'll see what happens next."

These days, if you say you're borrowing grain, how can you really pay it back?

"Just beat him up," Zhuge Liang said quietly. "As long as no one dies, he won't be too embarrassed to tell anyone when he gets back."

After all, this man was officially under Cao Cao's command. If he was really killed, since this place is so close to Wancheng, I'm really afraid that the other party would be so angry that he would attack us.

"Alright!" Zhuge Tian looked at Zhao Yun and the others, "Who's going to go up?"

"Old rules, let's play finger-guessing!"
