Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

The turmoil in Jingzhou quickly subsided under the bloody suppression of Liu Pan and Ma Zhong, and the gentle policies of Pang Tong and Ma Liang. It was as if a few grains of sand and gravel had been thrown into the sea, and there was not even a trace of aftermath.

In troubled times, it depends on strength. Because at this time, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, currently the two largest princes in the north and south of the Great Han Dynasty, were actively preparing for war, and they had no time to take care of Liu Cao and Liu Qi's problems. The other princes also set their eyes on there.

Liu Jun was not idle, and as the time of the Xiangyang martial arts test and the literary examination approached, the city sergeants gathered and lived in the inn. Several military camps were built outside the city for the youth who participated in the martial arts examination.

Although there were no celebrities among these people, Liu Jun believed that they were still competent as officials in various counties and some centurions in the army, so he was not disappointed.

The selection was completely handed over to Ma Liang, Pang Tong, Wang Xuan, Cui Zhouping, Meng Jian, Huang Zhong and others, but Liu Jian was busy with another matter.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were very moved when they received the grain and grass sent by Liu Jun, and immediately wrote back to Liu Jun, willing to guard the western border for the Great Han and never let foreign tribes pass through the Yumen Pass. At the same time, he sent three hundred war horses to Liu Jun.

Through some merchants from Youzhou and Hezhou, Liu Jun also obtained seven or eight hundred war horses, so he prepared to form a cavalry battalion.

All the horses were gathered, twelve hundred in all, and a thousand soldiers in the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry of this era was normally one man and two horses, and in the northern Cyprus, when fighting with foreign tribes such as the Hu people, sometimes one man and three horses. Long runs, the hooves of war horses step on sharp gravel, and it is easy to get injured.

However, Liu Jun used 1,200 war horses to form a thousand cavalry, not blindly expanding, but having his own plans.

Now fighting in the south, cavalry is not needed for the time being, just training. In addition, it is to update the equipment of the cavalry with the knowledge of later generations.

War horses of this period were already equipped with Takahashi saddles, which could prevent falling back and forth when the war horses were running at high speed. However, the stirrup has only one side, and it is used to help the rider get on the horse. Therefore, when fighting, soldiers often fall left and right.

The horseshoe does not have it, and the hooves of the war horse are easily injured.

If there is no suitable candidate for the commander of the cavalry, Liu Jun can only hand it over to Liu Pan first. His abilities may not be great, but he can definitely be trusted.

The technical content of stirrups and horseshoe was very low, and Liu Jun drew a few drawings, found a few skilled blacksmiths, and quickly typed some samples.

With a double stirrup, riding on a horse, it is indeed much more stable. Liu Jun tried it, and when the war horse was running at high speed, he could steadily open the bow and release arrows.

But in the case of horseshoe, those craftsmen had no idea what it was used for.

When Liu Jun said to nail it to the horse's hooves, their eyes widened.

In their opinion, horse hooves are already fragile, and they are easy to crack when they encounter stones, how can they still nail iron nails?

There was no way, so Liu Jian had to demonstrate it himself.

When Liu Jun nailed all four horseshoes to the hooves of his war horse, and the war horse showed no pain, the craftsmen were so shocked that they could put an egg in their mouths.

Liu Jun ignored everyone, turned on his horse, and lightly hit it with his horsewhip, and the war horse's four hooves were like flying, and the rubble on both sides was splashed.

"Iron Ride! This is the real iron ride!

"My lord, I am a god and a man!"

"This... It's incredible! "

Facts speak louder than words!

When Liu Jun stopped after running a few laps on horseback and ordered the craftsmen to continue to nail the other war horses, they had no objection.

Liu Jun sent an order to let Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Liu Pan, Ma Zhong and others come to the school.

Half an hour later, Huang Zhong and the others arrived at the school grounds, and several craftsmen had already nailed the horseshoe of more than a dozen war horses.

"See the Lord!" The four saluted Liu Jun.

"Excuse me!"

"The Lord told me to wait, but there is a war?" Huang Zhong was wary.

"The last general's knife has not drunk blood for a long time!" Wei Yan was also excited.

"Ha..." Liu Li smiled, "Han Sheng, Wen Chang, now we are enemies on all sides, and we are indispensable to fight." Today, I am giving you a gift!

"What a gift?"

"Han Sheng, you try this horse first!"

The soldier immediately brought a warhorse that had just been nailed to the horse's shoe and added bilateral stirrups.

"No!" Huang Zhong turned over on his horse, his legs wrapped around the belly of the horse, and the war horse galloped in the school grounds.

The horse's hooves stepped on some stones in the school grounds, "bang" sounded, sparks flew, but the speed of the war horse was not affected in the slightest, which not only surprised Wei Yan, Liu Pan, and Ma Zhong, but even Huang Zhong on the horse felt incredible.

"Han Sheng, try the bow and arrow!" Liu Jian said loudly.

Huang Zhong immediately took out his bow and arrows, sat on the galloping war horse, and pulled the strings.

Three arrows in a row, all hit the bullseye, and during the whole process, the speed of the war horse did not decrease in the slightest, and Huang Zhong on horseback was as stable as Mount Tai.

"Good arrow method!" Wei Yan, Liu Pan, and Ma Zhong praised at the same time.

How is Huang Zhong's arrow technique, Wei Yan knows best, that is a hundred steps through Yang! But he couldn't believe how Huang Zhong could still be so accurate on a galloping warhorse! Even if you don't stop, slow down!

"Master, this war horse..." After Huang Zhong jumped off the horse, he did not look excited because of the admiration of others, but instead looked puzzled, "This war horse is different from the others!"

After Wei Yan and Liu Pan listened, they also immediately went over and circled around the war horse twice.

"Han Sheng, how is this war horse different?" They didn't find a clue.

"Stirrups are added on both sides, no matter how fast the speed is, it is also very stable, and it will not shake from side to side!"

"So it is!" Wei Yan suddenly realized, he found that there were stirrups on both sides of the saddle, although this was only a small change, but for the horse rider, the impact was indeed great, "The lord is really wise, why can't I think of it?" "It's

not that you can't think of it, but you don't think about it at all!" Liu Jian smiled and said.

The generals all think about how to improve their martial arts and how to find a good horse, but they don't think about improving the equipment of their war horses. Don't say it's them, such a simple question, the real change in history, or in the period of the five chaotic China, it will take more than a hundred years.

"Lord, this horse's hooves are also different! It seems to be much harder than before! "

Hah... You can see it when you look at it! Huang

Zhong, Wei Yan, Liu Pan and the other three gently lifted one of the war horse's legs and looked at its hooves.

"Iron?"

"It's nailed!"

"How is this possible?"

"The hooves of a war horse are the most easily injured, and nailing the hooves with iron horseshoe is equivalent to wearing a pair of iron shoes for the war horse, which can protect the hooves well. In this way, the speed of the war horse will not only increase, but also will not be injured, this is my gift to you today! "
