Chapter 964

Ghost! This Cao Liang is really a monster that is unpredictable!

This high bridge saddle and double-sided stirrup can definitely become an existence that subverts the cavalry's tactics. With these two harnesses, the cavalry's combat effectiveness will be improved in a qualitative manner, and perhaps the cavalry will become the real main force on the battlefield.

Human inertial thinking is terrible. The unilateral stirrup was born for almost 300 years. It was adopted in the early Han Dynasty and became the standard equipment for war horses until the Three Kingdoms period.

The purpose of single-sided stirrup is to provide convenience for horse-mounting. Before the single-sided stirrup is invented, horse-mounting stones must be used for horse-mounting. However, the use of horse-mounting stones is really inconvenient, so a single-sided stirrup was invented for people to step on when they were on horses.

As for the stirrup after riding a horse, the stirrup loses its effect. In everyone's mind, this stirrup is used when riding a horse and has nothing to do with riding a horse.

Until now, when I saw the double-sided stirrups, everyone, including Sima Yi, suddenly realized that it can be used in stirrups in this way. How can I change this simply to make riding a horse easier, and riding a horse is no longer difficult.

Why hasn’t anyone discovered this mystery for hundreds of years? But when Cao Liang comes to innovation and application?

Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh to the sky. Cao Liang is really an extraordinary figure. From catapults, crossbows to new horse harnesses, every invention and innovation of his has a considerable degree of practicality and plays a significant role in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army. Those things that are regarded as strange tricks and tricks bloom in Cao Liang's hands.

The opponent Cao Liang is the most difficult opponent Sima Yi has encountered in his life. Not only is he outstanding in his wisdom, but he also makes amazing moves every time. Even Zhuge Liang, who was called the enemy of his life by Sima Yi, did not give Sima Yi such a headache.

Sima Yi shook the reins gently, shouted "Hold", and asked the war horses to trot around in front of the camp.

Although Sima Yi has not ridden a horse for a long time, he can also clearly feel the difference between using this new horse harness and not using a new horse harness. Using such a new horse harness makes it more comfortable and convenient to ride a war horse. Even an old man in his seventies who is inconvenient to his legs and feet is effortless to ride such a war horse, let alone a strong and strong cavalry.

Sima Yi is not the kind of person who is not as good as the old. He rejects novel things. Sima Yi still appreciates and actively promotes things like this that can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry.

Now that the Bingzhou Army has equipped such horse harnesses, it has effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Sima Yi naturally saw it. In fact, these saddles and stirrups are not difficult. As long as there are samples, you can find a few craftsmen to imitate them.

So after Sima Yi dismounted, he immediately ordered these saddles and stirrups to be sent back to Luoyang as samples, where there was a special workshop for making horse harnesses, so that they could build them on a large scale according to the samples and prepare to equip Sima's cavalry troops on a large scale in the future.

The Sima Army must not lose anything that the Bingzhou Army has and cannot fall behind. As long as there are samples, Sima Yi believes that Sima Army will also have the same thing in a very short time.

"Zhao'er, you did a good job this time. As long as our cavalry equipped with these same horse harnesses, why worry about not being able to catch up with the cavalry in Bingzhou?" Sima Yi greatly appreciated Sima Zhao's capture of these horse harnesses this time.

When Sima Zhao heard Sima Yi's praise, he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey. Sima Yi usually demanded extremely strictness on their brothers, and often scolded more than praised him. He rarely praised him like today. This shows the weight of these horse harnesses in Sima Yi's heart.

Sima Yi was very envious and usually had no feelings of joy and anger. Even as his children, he might not be able to understand his thoughts.

However, Sima Yi's attention to the new harness of Bingzhou Army was unusual this time. After the first confrontation with the Bingzhou cavalry, Sima Yi urgently needed to obtain samples of the new harness of Bingzhou Army. For only two days, the Bingzhou Army has avoided fighting, and the Sima Army has no chance to obtain it.

In this Battle of Xiasang, although the Sima army dispatched heavy troops and still failed to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Cavalry Camp, Sima Zhao finally captured something and intercepted a lot of Bingzhou cavalry. More importantly, it intercepted the new horse harness that Sima Yi urgently needed.

So Sima Yi was disappointed and heard a good news.

Although there are samples, it will take a long time before Sima Jun can equip these horse harnesses, and if it forms combat power, it requires more diligent practice, so it cannot be converted into combat power in a short period of time.

However, this is not important. What is important is that from then on, the Sima Army can master the same technology and equipment as the Bingzhou Army. I believe that the combat effectiveness and speed of the Sima Army cavalry can also be improved to the same level as the Bingzhou Army in the future.

"Father, what should we do next?" After the sample was sent away, Sima Zhao let out a secret breath and asked Sima Yi how to fight next.

It will take a long time to build a harness that is exactly the same as the Bingzhou Army. Sima Yi is definitely unwilling to withdraw his troops at this moment. He has always believed that relying on his numerical advantage, he can still defeat the Bingzhou Army.

Although the Battle of Xiasang failed to encircle and annihilate the Xiaoqi Camp and did not force the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp to appear, Sima Yi still would not give up. He praised Sima Zhao's actions of sending troops to bite the Xiaoqi Camp tightly.

There were repeated, no recurring, and the Bingzhou Army had already escaped twice. Sima Yi didn't believe they had a third chance. Now all the troops of the Sima Army were moving forward in an orderly manner. Even though the Knight Camp was as slid as a snake, the space for him to escape was getting smaller and smaller. The entire Qi County had almost fallen into the hands of the Sima Army. In the next battle, the Knight Camp might not be so lucky.

Sima Yi ordered the troops of the Sima army to continue to increase the pursuit of the Bingzhou Army's cavalry camp, and it is necessary to annihilate the cavalry camp in the Qixian area.

The long-term and long-distance Mercedes-Benz is extremely physical and energy for the cavalry. Since the day before yesterday, both sides have been trapped in a stalemate pursuit. Whether it is the Bingzhou Army or the Sima Army, they have almost reached the limit. When the Sima Army is at the end of its strength, the Cavalry Camp will naturally not be able to go there. Now it is time to compete for willpower. It depends on who can persevere until the end and who will win.
