Sometimes, failure is not necessarily terrible. If the lives of thousands of people can be exchanged for the opportunity to conquer the grassland, then Yuwen Mohuai will definitely feel that it is a big profit.

After Yuwen Mohuai learned the secret of the Wei cavalry to improve combat effectiveness, he couldn't help but immediately became fascinated. This defeat seemed to be very worthwhile. At least he could steal the Wei army. If he could master these new horse harnesses, even if Yuwen Mohuai died a little more, he wouldn't feel heartbroken.

Yuwen Mohuai couldn't help but feel excited and immediately summoned a few Xianbei soldiers who had some carpenter skills to come over and asked them to make a simple saddle and stirrup according to the description.

Unlike Sima Shi's copycat imitation, Yuwen Mohuai had never seen two physical objects, such as the Gaoqiao saddle and the double-sided stirrup, and could only work behind closed doors according to the witness's description.

The harnesses they made were very simple. The so-called Takahashi saddle was just a small wooden board in front and behind a wooden board, and then tied to the horse's back. At the same time, two ropes were tied to each side of the Takahashi saddle and a wooden pedal were tied. After a night of struggle, the simple version of Takahashi saddle and double-sided stirrup were finally freshly released.

Yuwen Mohuai was the first to complete the test ride. Although the riding feeling was not comfortable, mainly because the wooden saddle was too hard, which made his butt hurt, but this seemed to be a little room for improvement. If you add some fur to the saddle, it would be more comfortable to ride.

What surprised Yuwen Mohuai the most was that the stirrups on both sides were riding on the horse and stepping on the stirrups. It really felt more down-to-earth. No wonder all the Wei cavalry were able to ride and shoot well. With the help of stirrups, their hands could be released. Whether it was manipulating bows and arrows or both hands weapons, it became possible.

This stirrup is simply something that cannot be simple, and it is not a new thing. Originally, they generally equipped it now, with one-sided stirrups, but the stirrup was used to trample on horseback and was an instrument that replaced the horseback stone. Many agile Xianbei cavalry did not even have that thing, and believed that the one-sided stirrup was purely a burden and had no practical function.

But now that the unilateral transformation of bilateralism has greatly improved its practicality. Yuwen Mohuai sighed very much that so many people have not discovered that this stirrup has such a purpose. It is really useless.

It is unknown when the Wei army discovered the wonderful use of these double-sided stirrups, but the person who discovered this purpose must be a talent, which will completely change the combat methods of the cavalry and comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

The Wei cavalry, who had never been put into Yuwen Mohuai's eyes before, became invincible after receiving the help of the Gaoqiao saddle and the double-sided stirrup. What would it be like if all the cavalry of the Yuwen department were equipped with these harnesses?

Yuwen Mohuai couldn't help but become fascinated.

Among the Xianbei tribes, the Yuwen tribe is a relatively weak branch. Not to mention that it is not comparable to the Tuoba tribe that unifies the Xianbei in the Central region, even the strong rival of the Xianbei in the Eastern region, the Yuwen tribe is slightly inferior. Their strength is at best not much different from the Xianbei in the Duan tribe. Looking at the entire grassland, no one takes them seriously.

But if the Yuwen Department can take the lead in mastering the technology of new horse harnesses and promote equipment to all cavalry, then the combat effectiveness of the Yuwen Department's cavalry will not only be doubled. At that time, they will become the invincible overlords on the grassland, and any tribe will surrender to them, including the most powerful Tuoba tribe on the grassland and the Murong tribe in the eastern mortal enemy.

No! The Murong tribe will no longer exist. If Yuwen Mohuai really attacked the Murong tribe, it would definitely be that there would be no grass left. To completely erase the Murong Xianbei from the grassland, there would be no need for them to exist.

Yuwen Mohuai and Murong Xianbei had irresolvable hatred. Although they temporarily stopped the war with Tuoba Liwei's mediation, no one knew when they would continue to fight and never stop.

Yuwen Mohuai rode a war horse and ran two laps on Lulong Pass. He praised these two harnesses. After dismounting, he talked about the idea of ​​improvement to the craftsmen, hoping that these two harnesses would be more suitable. After modification, they would be immediately promoted to the entire army.

A Xianbei soldier who had seen a cavalry harness in the Wei army told Yuwen Mohuai that he had seen with his own eyes that the stirrups used by the Wei army's cavalry were not a combination of wooden boards and ropes, but seemed to be cast from iron, strong and durable.

"Iron cast?" Yuwen Mohuai was slightly stunned. There was no iron produced on the grassland, and the Wei court had strict control over iron tools. Even if Yuwen Mohuai knew that the Wei cavalry used iron stirrups, he was unable to imitate it because he could not get so much iron at all.

However, Yuwen Mohuai thought about it again. Although the iron stirrups are stronger and more durable than the wooden stirrups, at this stage, if all the cavalry of the Yuwen department use wooden stirrups, the combat effectiveness will be improved very clearly. Even if they really fight with the Wei cavalry again, they will not be defeated like now.

More importantly, Yuwen Mohuai's biggest enemy is not the Wei army stationed in Youzhou, but the neighboring Murong Xianbei and Duan Xianbei. They were eyeing me and were determined to perish me. If they were asked to find an opportunity, they would definitely kill Yuwen's army.

Now that Yuwen’s department wants to secretly master new horse harnesses, it will definitely overtake them. At that time, who Yuwen Mohuai wants to destroy is not a matter of a flash of fingers.

So the first thing that Yuwen Mohuai thought of was to keep it confidential. This news must not be revealed to Murong Xianbei and Duan Xianbei. Even if they can know it in the future, Yuwen Mohuai's purpose of improving himself alone, and what he wanted was this time difference. When they all discovered the wonderful uses of this new horse harness, everything would probably be too late.

Moreover, even his father-in-law Tuoba Liwei, Yuwen Mohuai was not going to tell that the reason why he married the Tuoba family was just to use the power of the Tuoba tribe to deal with the aggressive Murong tribe.

More importantly, Yuwen Mohuai is a very ambitious person. His dream is to unify the grassland and become the real overlord. By then, the powerful Tuoba tribe will also surrender to his feet. Therefore, the secret of the new horse harness will never easily reveal a word in Yuwen Mohuai's mouth.

At this moment, soldiers rushed to report that a team of Wei troops suddenly appeared behind Lu Longsai. They were actually surrounded by the Wei army.
