Outside Yecheng, in the barracks.

After subduing Gao Ran, Yuan Shao pushed the boat down the river and handed over the task of suppressing bandits to him.

In addition, he was given the command of 30,000 soldiers and horses.

However, for the plan of these 30,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Tan had other ideas.

"10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, plus 2,000 men and horses from the eldest prince's headquarters, a total of 32,000 people, are all here, please inspect the eldest prince!"

Jiang Qi's imperial horse galloped from the other end of the barracks, turned over and dismounted, and reported to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan nodded slightly, "I've worked hard for General Jiang Qi, besides, have you all the things I asked General Jiang Qi to prepare?"

Jiang Qi's expression was a little strange, but he still nodded, turned around and beckoned.

Several soldiers led three rather heavy wagons out of the city.

At this time, Gao Ran also happened to come from the city, and he rode all the way here, and he was quite curious about this convoy.

Originally, I thought it was a caravan traveling, but I didn't expect it to be Yuan Tan's command.

Immediately came over curiously,

"Eldest prince, General Jiang Qi, what is this?"

Jiang Qi also shook his head blankly, he only knew that these three carriages were Yuan Tan's advice.

Let him gather the blacksmiths in the city to make a secret weapon, but what is the purpose?

Jiang Qi also didn't understand it at all.

Yuan Tan smiled knowingly, turned over on his horse, came to a carriage, and grabbed a small wooden box with one hand.

Although the wooden box is small, it is quite heavy, weighing more than ten catties.

But in Yuan Tan's hands, it was like a feather, and he picked it up and threw it on the ground.

With a click, the wooden box was shaken open, revealing its contents.

Gao Ran leaned up curiously and took a look, but he was even more confused.

It was four meniscus-shaped pieces of iron, and a set of stirrup-like things.

However, stirrups are generally unilateral, but these are two leather rings strung together.

Don't talk about Gao Lan, even Jiang Qi, who has seen these things, wants to ask if the eldest prince is doing a moth again.

Although these things are lightweight, because the blacksmith is making them for the first time, it is quite troublesome.

The four meniscus-shaped pieces of iron are made of pure iron, a group of four, which is not very valuable.

But the eldest prince has made people build 10,000!

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Tan had already shown amazing strength and talent one after another.

Jiang Qi had long wanted to disobey his orders.

But even now, whether it is Jiang Qi or Gao Ran, he still distrusts these things.

"Ding, Jiang Qi has doubts about your IQ and ability, experience value +199"

"Ding, Gao Ran has doubts about your IQ and ability, experience value +199"

Hearing the system prompt, Yuan Tan pouted helplessly.

Pointing to the wooden box, he said, "Do the two generals know why I have the land of Youyan in Hebei, but the cavalry is still insufficient?"

Gao Ran immediately replied,

"Is the eldest prince testing us?"

It is precisely like this, a cavalry unit, it is not easy to form an army, 10,000 cavalry began to train, and after the formation of an army, there are at least 3,000 cavalry, and the war horses can no longer go into battle because of the wear and tear of training.

"Not to mention, a cavalry, after a big battle, even if there are no casualties, the loss of horses alone is nearly 10%.

Speaking of this, Gao Ran suddenly reacted, looking at the wooden box, a fine light flashed in his eyes,

"Could it be that the eldest prince ...... this thing"

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and took out the crescent-shaped iron piece, that is, the horseshoe of the later generations.

"That's right, the war horse is seriously damaged, because the hooves of the war horse lack protection, and this thing, I name it the horseshoe. "

Someone!"

Yuan Tan waved his hand to summon a craftsman who accompanied the army, handed him the horseshoe, and asked someone to lead a war horse.

"Go, nail these four pieces of iron to the horse's paw!" The

craftsman had been trained by Yuan Tan before, and his movements were quite skillful, and soon, he nailed the horseshoe of a war horse.

Seeing this scene in front of him, whether it was Jiang Qi or Gao Ran, their eyes showed a look of shock.

The principle of this horseshoe is actually not difficult to understand, just like people need to protect their feet with shoes.

The horseshoe is to put on a pair of shoes for the war horse!

But on the contrary, no one thought of this before, but the eldest prince thought of it!

Gao Ran and Jiang Qi glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts.

After

seeing the effectiveness of the horseshoe, Gao Ran and Jiang Qi became even more curious about the characteristics of the strange stirrups.

"Eldest Prince, what is this? Is it also like a horseshoe, worn on a war horse?" Yuan

Tan smiled mysteriously,

"This thing is called Yuan's stirrup, with this thing, it is enough to increase the strength of the cavalry by more than ten times!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi and Gao Ran's eyes, which were originally quite convincing, suddenly darkened.

Yes, the eldest prince began to blow water again.

However, Jiang Qi and Gao Ran are no longer as contemptuous of Yuan Tan as before.

So they didn't jump their faces on the spot.

Jiang Qi smiled, then arched his hand and said, "The men and horses and weapons that the eldest prince wants have been delivered, so I will leave first."

Yuan Tan saw Jiang Qi's thoughts, but he didn't care, but said with a smile,

"What, General Jiang Qi, aren't you going to see the strange use of my stirrup?"

Jiang Qi resisted the desire to jump his face, with a smirk on his face, "Hehe, no need, it's better for the last general to go back to his life first."

Then he gave Gao Ran a sympathetic look, doing things under the command of this unreliable eldest prince, you have to bear it!

Gao Ran returned with a desperate look, watched Jiang Qi beat his horse and left, and then looked at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan laughed,

"General Gao Lan, is it like General Jiang Qi, do you think I'm joking?"

Gao Ran smiled and arched his hand, "How could the last general have such an idea?"

Yuan Tan put the stirrup on the horse with the horseshoe nailed, and said lightly,

"I have no evidence, and it's normal for General Gao Ran not to believe it, so please give it a try!"

Hearing this, Gao Ran also thought about it, and immediately turned over and got on the horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, Gao Ran originally had some disdain for careful thinking, but it changed suddenly!

The previous stirrups were all unilateral and could only be used to get on the horse, and had no other purpose.

When riding a horse, the cavalry must also retain physical strength at all times, and at critical moments, use their hands to control the horse, so as not to lose control.

Therefore, even the Wuhuan people and Huns on the grassland, only a very small number of elites can rely on their waists.

But now, with this Yuan's stirrup, you can free your hands on the horse.

Even ordinary cavalrymen who have not been specially trained can shoot while galloping their horses!

"Ride!"

Gao Ran took a deep breath, clamped the war horse with his legs, and the war horse roared and galloped out.

And he suddenly pulled out the bow and arrow behind his back, opened the bow with both hands, squinted slightly in one eye, and shot an arrow!

With a whoosh, it hit the bull's-eye!

You know, Gao Ran's archery skills are not very good.

At best, it's just a little stronger than an ordinary soldier.

But with this war horse, Gao Ran is confident.

Even the Huns' condor archers are coming, and he can also shoot with them calmly, without falling behind!

"The general shoots with great marks!" Seeing

this, the soldiers in the barracks cheered one by one.

Gao Ran, on the other hand, turned his gaze to Yuan Tan, who was standing at the forefront of the soldiers, turned over and dismounted.

Bow to the ground.

"The eldest prince is really a genius in the world, and the last general will be subdued!"

"Ding! You have been loyal to the famous general Gao Lan, and your experience points are +9999!".
