Chapter 963 help me up

Sima Zhao couldn't help but burst into light. This thing was something Sima Yi wanted to see most urgently. He had never obtained it before. Unexpectedly, although this battle was fled by the Cavalry Camp, they also suffered considerable casualties, and they had no time to clean up these things calmly.

Sima Zhao ordered the horse harnesses to be taken off the corpses of the war horses and sent them to Sima Yi immediately. This is a kind of harvest.

Another failure of the battle made Sima Yi's face become more gloomy. Sima's army's situation is quite bad now. The front line has run out of food, and the food and grass for the support have been attacked by the Bingzhou army again, losing more than half of it. Although the remaining half of the food and grass can solve the urgent problem in front of us, the dilemma of lack of food and grass will not be solved for a day, and the entire army will be on the verge of collapse.

This is also the reason why Sima Yi has always pursued a quick battle. On the surface, he saw tens of thousands of cavalry roaring and galloping around and chasing the enemy everywhere. It was very glorious, but behind the scenery, there were countless crises. If the problem could not be solved from the root, Sima's army would be really unsustainable.

The Battle of Sang was originally the best opportunity. If Sima Jun could seize it and eat the Kaoqi Camp in one fell swoop, then the problem could be fundamentally solved.

But unfortunately, although Sima Jun made sufficient preparations in advance, he still failed to achieve this goal. The strength of the Bingzhou cavalry once again refreshed Sima Yi's cognition.

The 40,000 people were unable to destroy the 10,000 cavalry of the Bingzhou Army. The battle was so heartbreaking.

"Father, I seized a lot of horse harnesses this time. The child has seen it. It is indeed of great help to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. The improvement of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry camp must be related to this." Sima Zhao saw that Sima Yi's face was obviously a little unhappy, so he quickly told him the good news.

Sima Yi's face relaxed slightly. Sima Yi was indeed very interested in the new horse harnesses of the Bingzhou Army. He had only heard Sima Bing's defeated battle narration before. Unexpectedly, the physical objects could be seized in this battle, which finally made Sima Yi feel a little more relaxed.

Sima Zhao said: "Father, it's not convenient to demonstrate in this tent. Please move outside to take a look."

Sima Yi nodded and came outside the tent with Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao did not pile the seized horse harnesses directly on the ground, but deliberately equipped them on the horse's back.

These horse harnesses are also very simple to be equipped. You only need to place the Takahashi saddle and double-sided stirrup on the horse's back and tie the straps to the horse's belly, which is very firm and solid.

Although Sima Yi had a preliminary impression in his mind after hearing Sima Bing on the battlefield describe the approximate shapes of these horse harnesses, Sima Yi was shocked at the moment when he actually saw the real thing.

The structure of these harnesses is not complicated, and it can even be said to be quite simple. Compared with ordinary saddles, the high bridge saddle only has a shape with a front and back high and a depression in the middle. The double-sided stirrups are just added to the single-sided stirrup. Although the materials are slightly different, the shape of the stirrup has not changed. It is still the shape of the ring and the size is just right for the feet to fit in.

But it is simple but not simple. This small improvement has actually improved the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou cavalry. What an incredible thing it seems.

In order to make Sima Yi more intuitive, Sima Zhao rode riders except for the empty war horse in front of him. Although it was the first time they rode such a horse, they didn't seem to feel uncomfortable. They were very comfortable to ride the war horse.

Of course, this is just the feeling of riding. If you really want to fight and gallop, you must go through a series of exercises.

Sima Yi patted the saddle and said to Sima Zhao: "Help me up."

Sima Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, just take a look at these things. There is no need to try them in person, right?"

Sima Yi hasn't ridden a horse for several years. After all, he is old and has old arms and legs. It's already very difficult to ride a horse. If he falls off the horse, the consequences will be really serious.

Sima Yi glared at him and shouted in a deep voice: "I am not old enough to even ride a war horse, help me up!"

Sima Zhao did not dare to disobey, so he had to help Sima Yi get on the horse.

Compared with the popular horse harnesses, the stirrups of the Bingzhou Army are indeed a bit high and are not suitable for trampling when riding a horse. Instead, a personal soldier beside him looked sharp and bent over and knelt on the ground, arched his waist, and asked Sima Yi to step on his back. Only then did Sima Yi ride on the horse's back.

Of course, this is just because Sima Yi is old and has difficulty getting on the horse, so it is difficult to get on the horse. If it were a young man, a slightly higher stirrup would not be a big deal. Once you step on it, you can fly on the horse and be clean and neat.

Sima Yi has indeed not ridden a horse for many years. For a long time, chasing the front-strike car has become his main means of transportation, but Sima Yi's riding horse has not become unfamiliar. The long-lost feeling seems to be back in his memory.

The leather shell of the Takahashi saddle has a good sense of comfort. When Sima Yi sat on the horse's back, his butt was firmly stuck in the groove and could not move forward and backward, so he no longer had to worry about sliding down from the horse's back.

Sima Yi's feet were just stepping on the metal ring of the stirrup, giving him an immediate feeling of being down-to-earth.

In the past, when riding a horse, your feet were always hanging in the air, giving people a very uneasy feeling. You can only hold the horse's mane or reins tightly, so that you can feel safe. Now, with both stirrups, you feel at ease, and you can also let go of the reins with your hands.

Sima Yi was so sophisticated that he could not understand the importance of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrup to the cavalry? After hearing this, he was surprised when he heard it before. Now, after experiencing it, he naturally discovered the real magical uses of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrup.

Simple things can achieve extraordinary results, which shocked Sima Yi. Even an old man who is in his twilight can easily control a war horse. If those skilled cavalry soldiers change into these harnesses, their combat effectiveness will not only be increased exponentially!

No wonder the cavalry combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army can be rapidly improved in such a short time. The high bridge saddle and the double-sided stirrup are truly of great significance, and their functions are irreplaceable.
