Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Could one surpass the Hu-style riding and archery in an instant?

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Tang Yu in disbelief.

You must know, this is the practice of wearing nomadic clothing and practicing archery on horseback!

Of all the six states, Qin was probably the only one that was not afraid of adopting nomadic dress and cavalry tactics.

Because of the once-renowned god of war in the country—Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi!

After a grueling 46-day battle, he successfully massacred 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao state!

Except for those shorter than a cartwheel, all the others were killed, and the Zhao state never recovered.

The adoption of nomadic dress and cavalry archery became a pipe dream after this point.

However, before this battle, the adoption of nomadic-style cavalry tactics had caused everyone else a great deal of trouble.

The Xiongnu's mounted archery style of fighting made them all unable to hold their breath.

Although it was just ordinary horseback riding and archery, the Xiongnu people's horsemanship was far superior to theirs.

Horses also experience less wear and tear on their endurance and stamina compared to other countries.

Similarly, shooting arrows on horseback is inherently unpredictable and has a low hit rate.

However, the Hu people's adoption of nomadic dress and archery was different; they could achieve an extremely high hit rate while on horseback.

This requires years of long-term training to achieve, since one cannot stand or sit upright while on horseback.

"Mr. Tang, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's burning gaze, Tang Yu simply stopped teasing him.

This emperor, who was once a figure of unparalleled power, was able to apologize and beg for forgiveness without hesitation.

They even go to great lengths to praise themselves.

It's easy to see that my relationship with Brother Zheng is indeed quite good.

Otherwise, if anyone else dared to say that...

Don't even think about getting Brother Zheng to apologize; he'll probably be executed on the spot, his entire family wiped out.

That would mean his entire clan was wiped out!

He said seriously.

"Your Majesty, this item is also related to the Mohist school."

"This thing?"

Ying Zheng repeated the first two words and looked at Tang Yu in disbelief.

"Mr. Tang, could it be that the solution you're referring to isn't a special military unit like the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"It's just a normal item?"

Under Ying Zheng's incredulous gaze, Tang Yu calmly nodded.

"Indeed, Your Majesty."

"Sometimes technology is the primary productive force."

"The combat power and products created by technology will always be much stronger than those created by human labor."

"Ding Dong——"

Tang Yu raised his hand and directly accessed the system's space.

It summoned the rewards it had accumulated in the past few days.

After he and Lü Xu had sex, the system rewarded him with items such as horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups.

Before this, Tang Yu had already discovered that the system had been pretending to be dead for a long time.

It seems that this was when he had truly done something significant, something that influenced the course of history.

And he said that this system would only reappear when he was facing a life-or-death situation.

Sure enough, after he had relations with Lü Xu, the system gave him a reward.

Originally, these were things like horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups.

They had a concept in Tang Yu's mind.

But it's not something he could create.

It's fair to say that we've only heard of it but never seen it, making it quite difficult to get started.

But now that we have the actual product, that would be wonderful.

"Your Majesty, please look at this."

Ying Zheng was no longer surprised by Tang Yu's ability to conjure three things with his bare hands.

After all, in this era, it was perfectly normal for Mr. Tang, the Grand Tutor of Qin, to do such a thing.

And so, his eyes fell upon the three items in front of him.

Tang Yu took out a small, ring-shaped object and said to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, these are the horse's shoes."

"Horses, just like us humans, need to wear shoes when they run or walk."

"Otherwise, you'll only be more vulnerable to injury."

"And now all the horses are barefoot. When we put shoes on them, everything changes."

"What? Horses can wear shoes?"

Ying Zheng was stunned. He looked at Tang Yu.

However, he knew that what Tang Yu said was absolutely true.

Then, he looked at the other two items and said...

What is this thing?

Tang Yu looked at the two things in front of him, but he couldn't demonstrate them to Ying Zheng either.

You can't just put this thing on Ying Zheng yourself, can you?

That was truly outrageous!

So he said to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, we're afraid we'll need to find a horse to test these two items ourselves."

"Haha, Mr. Tang, let's go try it now."

Ying Zheng grabbed Tang Yu and rushed out.

His dark black dragon robe immediately rose up from the spot.

……

On the horse farm inside Xianyang Palace.

Tang Yu looked at the two fine horses that Meng Tian had brought over, his eyes filled with admiration.

These two horses are indeed top-class warhorses.

If placed on the battlefield, it would definitely be a thoroughbred.

Ying Zheng said this after seeing Tang Yu's expression.

"Mr. Tang, what do you think of these two horses?"

Tang Yu nodded.

"These two horses are undoubtedly among the best of the best."

"Your Majesty, have you ever ridden these two horses before?"

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Of course, although I am the emperor, I am not a useless person who can't do anything."

"A gentleman never forgets the Six Arts, and at the same time, he never neglects his fighting skills on the battlefield."

"As for horsemanship, the same applies."

Goodness, this has to be Brother Zheng.

Tang Yu suddenly remembered.

Many people in later generations often overlooked Zheng Ge when ranking the most powerful emperors in history.

But just based on his height of 1.9 meters and the 1.6-meter-tall Tai'a sword...

You can imagine how fierce Zheng Ge would be if he really fought against other emperors.

Li Er, who is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, might have been sent flying by Zheng Ge's two swords.

"How does Your Majesty feel riding these two horses?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he knew he hadn't made a mistake; this horse was indeed excellent.

But it was, after all, a fine steed, with an exceptionally fierce temperament.

"Even I can't handle it very well."

"However, its ability to travel a thousand miles a day is indeed unmatched by other horses."

Tang Yu nodded as well.

He handed the saddle and stirrups to a soldier standing nearby.

"Go and place these two things on the back of the horse."

"Actually... it's the place where we humans often ride."

"Then fix it in place."

The strategist looked at the strange object in his hand, glanced at Tang Yu in surprise, and then hurriedly went to install it.

Since the soldier was uneasy, Tang Yu assisted him from the side.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, the saddle was placed on the horse's back.

Meanwhile, two long stirrups were hanging to one side.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ying Zheng's mind went completely blank.

But as someone who could ride a horse, he seemed to have already figured something out.

He appeared unusually agitated.
