Daqin: Impeachment of Qin Shihuang at the Start
Chapter 71 Are all in sorrow, but you applaud? (26)
"The Xiongnu and Donghu are all cavalry, they come and go like the wind, they are extremely fast!"
"But my Meng family army is dominated by infantry. When the two armies are at war, although our side has ended the battle, the Huns are just a charge, and our side will not be defeated!"
"Last month, I ambushed an army of the Huns. Although they were successful, they still let them escape most of the time!
"No way, they are all cavalry. When they encounter a strong enemy, they retreat immediately. We can't catch up!"
"Half a year ago, we still had 20,000 cavalry, and now we don't even have 5,000!"
"Warhorses are depleting so fast that they can't keep up with supplies!"
"Therefore, this time the Xiongnu and Donghu have committed a large-scale southern offensive, the Mongolian general can only take a defensive position and hold on to the city, waiting for reinforcements!"
The blood-stained general gave a detailed account of the Mobei war.
In the words, there is a lot of helplessness!
The Meng Family Army are all passionate men, and they are not afraid of death, but they cannot make senseless sacrifices!
"I Daqin, is it possible that I will be bound by a war horse?"
Hearing what he said, Yingzheng's brow furrowed deeper. With his hands on his back, he was angry and unwilling to move back and forth.
At this time, not only him, but also Zhisu Neishi, Fusu, and the 31 ministers present, all bowed their heads and said nothing, helpless!
"Zhang Han, Wang Zhi, how many war horses are weeding out of their hoofs?"
When everyone was at a loss, Ying Ziye suddenly spoke up.
"Prince, Xianyang still has more than 20,000!"
"Moreover, this number is still increasing!"
"At most two months, I'm afraid that all the horses under him will be eliminated!"
Wang Ben arched his cupped hands and reported truthfully.
"A total of more than 80,000 war horses have been eliminated this year, and tens of thousands have been slaughtered. The remaining 20,000 horses will soon be slaughtered for meat!"
"Although these war horses followed the soldiers in the north and south wars, everyone is reluctant to bear it."
"But I have to feed a lot of fodder every day!
"In order to save some fodder, I had to reluctantly kill the horse, alas!"
Zhang Han sighed and said distressedly.
"Hey, who said no!"
"The number of horses I eliminated by the family army is 70,000, and the soldiers are not allowed to be slaughtered even if they are hungry!"
"For ordinary people, it's just a beast, kill it if you kill it!"
"But for them, it is life and death comrades, life and death brothers, they and their mounts are born to death, killing a horse is more uncomfortable than killing them!"
"Now, seeing that the forage is consumed day by day, the soldiers are still reluctant to kill the horse!"
"n..! "
The general covered in blood also sighed for a long time, and a mist of mist appeared in the eyes of the tiger.
When he came back this time, the horse that was born and died with him died on the road.
He had never shed tears even if he was seriously injured, and he shed tears for the first time!
"Very good!"
Just when he was secretly sad and secretly wiping his tears, Ying Ziye suddenly yelled
This made everyone stunned.
The soldiers are suffering, reluctant to kill the horses, and are immersed in sorrow. What do you mean by saying that it is too good?
This is too untimely, right?
At this moment, even Yingzheng frowned slightly.
"This prince has a way to let the horses that have been eliminated by the wear of their hoofs and return to the battlefield!!
"Moreover, this method can also solve the problem of horseshoe wear!"
When everyone was puzzled, Ying Ziye said with a slight excitement.
"What good strategy does Ye'er have?"
Hearing what he said, Yingzheng's eyes lit up.
He stopped and asked impatiently.
Today, there are 20,000 eliminated horses in Xianyang City, and 70,000 in Mobei, which adds up to 90,000!
If these horses can be brought back to the battlefield, then Da Qin will have 90,000 more iron knights!
"Father, wait a minute!"
Ying Ziye grabbed the wolf hair used by his own daddy on the Dragon Case and drew it on rice paper.
Nowadays, the royal palace and various government offices have all used rice paper, and bamboo slips have been completely eliminated.
It's much easier to write!
It didn't take long for a round object to appear on the paper.
"What is this?"
Ying Zheng looked at the drawing on the paper, and was a little puzzled.
"Back to the emperor, this is called a horseshoe!"
"Also called Horseshoe!"
"Just nail this to the horse's hoof, and the problem of horseshoe wear can be solved!"
"You can extend the use time of the horse!"
"Unless the war horse is dead, otherwise, it will never be eliminated because of the wear of the horse's hoof!"
Ying Ziye took the blueprint and briefly explained it again. He blinked his eyes as he listened.
"Can this thing work?"
Ying Zheng looked at the drawing and shook his head suspiciously.
Can only a so-called iron piece be nailed to a horse's hoof?
Can it solve the problem of horseshoe wear?
At this time, not only him, but also the right prime minister Wang Shu, Fusu, Zhang Han, Wang Zhi and others, also did not hold any hope.
If a mere piece of iron can solve the problem, then Da Qin can save a lot of money just to buy war horses every year!
"Father, you'll know if you can try it!"
Ying Ziye submitted the drawings and said with a confident smile.
"Come on, go and lead a eliminated horse!"
"Also, go and build this horseshoe!"
"No mistake!!
Ying Zheng took the picture and examined it carefully for a moment, and then 907 ordered the eunuch.
"Zunzhi!"
The eunuch dared not delay, and ran out with the drawing.
After a short time, outside the Xianyang Palace, a war horse that was eliminated due to worn out horses was brought.
The war horse trembled as he walked, not to mention the pack man, it seems that it is difficult to stand still!
Everyone looked at the eliminated horse, both distressed and helpless.
Many war horses are all fat waists, and they are very strong!
It was because of the wear of horseshoes that they were eliminated from the army and were about to be slaughtered for meat.
What a pity!
"I'm coming !"
At this moment, a shirtless blacksmith hurried over with four horseshoes.
"Quickly nail the horseshoe to this war horse!"
In order to verify the effect, Ying Zheng could not wait to urge.
"Yes!"
The shirtless blacksmith didn't care about visiting and saluting, and hurriedly joined the crowd to tie up the horse.
Then, according to what Ying Ziye said, all four horseshoes were nailed up.
Although it was a little messy, everything went well in the end.
"Hey Lü Lü!!"
When the rope tied with the horse's hoof was untied, the horse stood up tremblingly.
Next, in the eyes of everyone's astonishment, the eliminated war horse first walked a few steps, and then ran wildly and ran outside the Xianyang Palace like a happy one. .
