"Woo————”

The low and desolate cavalry sounded slowly from the speeding cavalry formation. As the Taihang Workshop approached, the cavalry began to slowly slow down the horse speed.

Although the cavalry slowed down, it was only relatively speaking that the speed of marching was much faster than that of infantry.

Almost in a flash, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the cavalry had already arrived near everyone.

This cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry. The burqa and belt are all white horses. The white horses are covered with yellow clothes, and the scriptures are engraved, and the back is inserted into feathers. They move with the wind while galloping, and the momentum is quite strong.

Yan Lun's attention was attracted by the flags of this cavalry. The north wind urged him to roll up the flags in the cavalry formation.

The cavalry formation completely stopped more than ten steps ahead of him, and also gave Yan Lun a chance to see the flags. Yan Lun looked carefully and found that the flags of this cavalry seemed to be a four-clawed dragon.

Next to the four-clawed dragon with claws, there are three powerful and powerful characters written in black ink - "Tengxiangwei"!

"Welcome to the great wise mentors!"

Tian Zhong lowered his head without hesitation, bent down slightly, bowed with his hands, and shouted loudly, his voice even trembling with excitement.

"Welcome to the great wise mentors!"

Yan Lun and Zhao Ji also bowed their heads and saluted together, but as soon as they spoke, they were overwhelmed by the tsunami of welcome.

The cavalry of Tengxiang Guard separated from each other like waves and cracked in unison.

A war horse with white hair and silver-white clothes slowly emerged. On the horse's back, Xu An was wearing a ginger Taoist robe, a Taiqing fishtail crown, holding a reins in his left hand, and naturally hanging down his right hand holding a folding fan made of ebony.

Xu An walked off the white horse. The owner of the shop, Yan Lun, calmed down, took a step forward, walked out of the queue, bowed to Xu An first, and then reported loudly.

"According to the order of the great masters, Taihang Workshop has now produced 700 high-bridge saddles, and more than 1,300 pairs of stirrups on both feet. Now most of the production in the workshop has been put into the production of saddles and stirrups."

Yan Lun was a little nervous at first, but when he talked about his good affairs, what he said became smoother and smoother.

"The horseshoe is a little difficult, but it has been solved. Although the horses of war horses vary in size, they can be divided into several categories. When the investigators of the Eagle Wolf Guards brought the horseshoe investigation documents of each cavalry battalion and knew the approximate situation and the approximate number required for each size, we immediately made all our efforts to make horseshoe irons, which would definitely be completed within a limited period."

Jia Xu, who was following Xu An, had a slightly moved eyes. He glanced at Yan Lun, and then looked at the Taihang Workshop where the high walls were built behind Yan Lun, like a small city.

This time, Liu Pi was ordered by Xu An to take the Eagle Wolf Guard into Taihang Mountains, and it should be ordered to supervise the workshops in the Taihang area to make three items: "high bridge saddle", "two-leg stirrup", and "horse-shoe iron".

Jia Xu was previously named the captain, but Xu An did not ask him to manage the military, but instead asked Jia Xu to serve as the chief secretary in the Central Army Office.

Listening to the noun Yan Lun mentioned, Jia Xu was a little confused. He knew that he knew the saddle and the stirrup, but what Yan Lun said were the "taka bridge saddle" and "two-foot stirrup".

But is the stirrup not the main auxiliary equipment for horse riding? Why do it be made into bilateral?

And the horseshoe, this is the first time Jia Xu has heard this word.

Jia Xu glanced around and found that except for Yan Zhong's expression as usual, the rest seemed a little confused.

Xu An's expression was a little slow, and the fatigue that had been around seemed to be wiped out.

What he had always worried about was that the workshop's production capacity was insufficient and he could not complete the limited tasks before sending troops to Liangzhou. Now that he heard the output and Yan Lun's report, the big stone in his heart was slightly lost.

"The Yan family has a profound knowledge and is indeed talented. I see the progress of Taihang Workshop."

Xu An glanced at Yan Zhong and said with a smile.

Hearing Xu An's praise, Yan Zhong's slightly serious face also relaxed a little.

This time Xu An went to the Taihang Workshop, and the senior generals and officials of the Yellow Turban Army basically followed Xu An.

Except for Xu Huang, Zhang Yan and other generals who were leading troops outside to guard one side, almost all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were present.

General Gong Du of Pingnan and General Lu Bu of Zhennan, two generals with titles, as well as He Man, Zhang Liao, Huang Long, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Zhang Yang and other generals were all present this time.

Xu An admired Yan Lun in front of so many people, and naturally there was light on his face.

"It seems that you have not been too lazy these days. You have done a good job, but you must remember that laziness will not last long. Only diligence can be the right way. Don't be as naughty as before and don't know the right thing."

Yan Zhong gave Yan Lun a few words seriously, but he did not continue Xu An's words to praise Yan Lun.

He was most familiar with his nephew. Although he was talented and proficient in craftsmen's affairs, he was prone to pride and complacent and laziness. When he was studying with his teachers at home, he had a lot of trouble.

"What my uncle taught is that my nephew must remember it in his heart and never dare to forget it."

Yan Lun was still a little afraid of Yan Zhong, his uncle. He was not afraid of his parents or his teachers, but he was afraid of his uncle, but he still respected more in his heart.

His father died early, and his mother could not control him. He stayed with a group of Yan's children all day long in school, which eventually led to a disaster, which caused the children of the prefect's family. The servants came to him to convict him.

At that time, the Yan family captured the power of the prefect Yu, and no one dared to stop it. Only Yan Zhong stood up and held a sword in front of everyone. In the end, Yan Zhong argued with reason and took him back home safely from the prefect's mansion. Later, he was led by Yan Zhong to discipline himself.

The purpose of Xu An came this time was not to investigate how Yan Lun, Tian Zhong and Zhao Ji worked, so he just heard the news for a few words and entered the Taihang Workshop surrounded by everyone.

Yan Lun led the way, Tian Zhong and Zhao Ji were quite conscious and led the officials behind him to follow the team.

"Go to the school ground first."

Xu An rejected Yan Lun's suggestion to have dinner first. His purpose this time was to do this.

Taihang Workshop is like a small town. Not only Jia Xu and Zhang Yang have never seen such a huge workshop, but also Gong Du and He Man, the old generals of the Yellow Turban Army, have never entered the Taihang Workshop. They all looked at the surrounding scenes in a novel way.

The specific address of the workshop has always been quite secretive, and the confidentiality work has been done well. Even senior officials of the Yellow Turban Army are not responsible for managing the workshop affairs and have not had the right to enter any workshop before.

The workshop is completely an independent institution and is directly managed by the Central Military Office.

When passing by the main workshop area of ​​Taihang Workshop, Zhang Yang was a little dumbfounded. In his impression, those workshops were not very big, but just a small workshop area.

Although Zhang Yang had heard that the Yellow Turban Army had workshops everywhere, the largest workshops were the same as those in the outside world, but the people living inside were all craftsmen, he did not expect it to be so big.

But the workshop in front of him was so large that when he was still under Dong Zhuo, the largest official shop he saw seemed to be less than one-tenth of the scale of the workshop here.

Xu An and his group were riding war horses. Although the Taihang Workshop was big, it didn't take long before everyone rushed to the periphery of the schoolyard.

"This is the training ground for inspection equipment."

Yan Lun pointed to the dialect in front of him and Xu An raised his eyes and saw a tall earth wall blocking his view. Every few steps above the earth wall was a guard guard holding a spear.

There was a sentry at the end of the road where they were, and a group of tik-knights wearing black wolf suits guarding the sentry.

When the guards of the Eagle and Wolf Guard saw Yan Lun and others coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Xu An kicked the horse's belly and crossed the guard post, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

The schoolyard here is different from the schoolyard in the military camp. It is a drawing he personally drew, but it is somewhat like the playground in later generations.

Xu An looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

"Dadadada————"

The dull sound of horse hooves echoed in everyone's ears. At this time, a knight was riding a horse on the school ground.

Yan Lun saw the people's realization focus on the knight and introduced: "These are several experimenters selected from the Eagle and Wolf Guard, all of whom are very skilled in the Eagle and Guard riding skills."

The knights galloping at high speed around the circular track of the school grounds, occasionally making various difficult movements on the horses.

Everyone's eyes also moved with the rider's mercedes. Almost everyone was a person who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Even He Man and other generals often rode war horses.

They are naturally familiar with the sound of horse hooves treading on the ground, but today the sound of horse hooves is extremely special. It is louder and more powerful than ordinary war horse hooves, and it seems that it runs more agile.

"Dadadada————"

In a blink of an eye, the horse's knight had already run around the horse. Although he saw Xu An and others coming over in a mighty manner and wanted to stop the horse, he was instructed by Yan Lun. The soldiers who were passing the message asked him to demonstrate the specific matters of the experiment, so he did not dismount.

On the edge of the schoolyard, a soldier held a horse lance in his hands, next to the knight's must-pass path.

The sound of horse hooves came. As the dust was flying, the knight on the horse stretched out his arm and captured the long spear in his hand.

The war horse was speeding, and the knight on the horse flew past everyone. Suddenly, holding spears in both hands, stepping on the stirrups, and then exerted force suddenly.

In the moment of lightning, the horse spear had already picked up the target of the grass.

Lu Bu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked ahead with enthusiasm in his eyes.

The generals of the Yellow Turban Army were not good at fighting. In just a short moment, they saw some clues.

This pair of stirrups is different from a single stirrup. It is a pair of pedals hanging on both sides of the saddle. Like a single stirrup, it can be used by riders to step on horseback and on riding.

However, the function of the stirrup on both feet is not only to help people get on the horse, but more importantly, it is used as a support for the knight's feet when the horse is galloping. It can maximize the advantages of riding, and at the same time effectively provide safe guarantees for the knight.

The knight who used these instruments was firmly rooted in the saddle, and his various actions had almost no impact.

Moreover, this type of stirrup can free both hands without the need for the knight to clamp the legs of the soldiers holding the soldiers tightly. With the help of stirrups on the horse, the knight can control the balance with his feet and complete a series of difficult movements such as rushing, sprinting, chopping, and hitting immediately.

Gong Du, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang and other cavalry generals naturally understood the significance of this instrument.

Stirrups on both feet will make the war horse easier to control, connect people with horses, and free the hands of those riding on horseback. Cavalry can ride and shoot on the speeding war horses, or swing left and right on the horse's back to complete the military action of chopping left and right.

The range of the cavalry bow used for riding will be longer, the cavalry's melee ability on the horse will increase significantly, and the knights will be trained faster.

Xu An looked at the speeding knight in front of him and couldn't help but hold the reins in his hand tightly.

He had known about these instruments for a long time, but he had never dared to take them out and had never dared to make them.

At that time, the Han Ting was powerful and had a large number of horses and cavalry. Every time the Yellow Turban Army fought against the Han army, the battle formation was shattered by the Han army's high-headed horses forming a cavalry formation.

On the other hand, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is basically used for reconnaissance and restraint, and has no power to fight at all.

Even if Xu An occupied Taihang Mountains, Shangdang County and other places, and even Bingzhou, he would not dare to take it out easily.

The three instruments "Taoqiao saddle", "two-legged stirrup" and "horse-shoe" have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of cavalry, but they are extremely easy to imitate.

The horse's hooves are composed of two layers. The layer that comes into contact with the ground is a layer of hard keratin about two to three centimeters thick, and the layer above is a living keratin.

In ancient times, when cavalry fought, horse hooves were often damaged and thus unable to fight. There are usually two reasons for this. The first is that long-term running wears out of the horse hooves.
