"Before determining the purpose of these iron blocks, I would like to ask, how many war horses will be eliminated every year in your army because of the abrasion of horse hooves?"

Chen Yang did not answer their questions first, but asked such a question.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and the latter immediately understood and said first: "There were more than 1,200 war horses that were eliminated due to the abrasion of horse hooves last year."

With Cao Cao's strength nowadays, it was not his most prosperous time. Most of the army was mainly infantry, and the number of cavalry-burning troops that cost money was not large, but eliminating more than 1,000 war horses every year was enough to make them feel pain.

The money from buying these war horses can help them train more infantry, but when the two armies fight, they cannot charge without cavalry.

"From now on, you don't have to worry about this anymore." Chen Yang said.

"Shopkeeper Chen, are you saying that these things can solve the problem of horse hooves?" Guo Jia asked at the iron hooves.

Xun Yu still didn't believe it very much, and shook his head and said, "These things are average, I don't think they are of great use, right?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "This is equivalent to a horse's shoes. If you don't believe it, you can bring an eliminated war horse and try it out."

Cao Cao said curiously: "Horse shoes sound quite interesting. Come on, bring a war horse!"

After a while, a tall war horse stood in front of Chen Yang, but its four hooves were extremely worn and it was a bit difficult to walk.

Under Chen Yang's guidance, several soldiers quickly put their iron hooves on the hoofs of war horses, which was really like putting on shoes.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what is the purpose of this thing?" Xun Yu asked with a stirrup.

"Hang it on the saddle and hang it on first. This thing is more useful. You can find someone to ride on the horse and try the effect of the iron hoof, and you will know that what I said is not false." Chen Yang said confidently.

A soldier immediately equipped the stirrups according to Chen Yang's instructions.

The war horse with iron hooves looked bad, so Cao Cao asked, "Who would like to give it a try?"

"I'll do it!"

At this time, a tall figure walked out from behind Cao Cao. This was the first time Chen Yang saw this person.

"Okay, Lao Xu, come and try it first." Cao Cao nodded and said.

This old Xu is one of the guards around Cao Cao. Xu Chu, whose courtesy name is Zhongkang.

Xu Chu didn't need to rely on stirrups, and he jumped gently and landed on the horse's back. With his whip, the war horse let go of four hooves and ran directly, not slow at all.

The war horse, which had difficulty walking, could actually run, and the four hooves could not be seen as abrasive.

"this……"

When Cao Cao and others saw it, they opened their mouths and closed them without knowing how to describe the shock at this moment.

This war horse can really run again, but it is still carrying people to run, and there is no problem with the worn horse hooves.

"This horse hooves are really good, haha... With this thing, all the war horses we eliminated can continue to use, and we no longer have to worry about the lack of war horses."

At this time, Xu Chu had already returned after running around, and he said excitedly.

Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay! It would be great that we can have another amount of money to buy war horses in the future."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, the shoes you wear for the horse are so wonderful!"

Cao Cao first laughed, and he said with satisfaction: "No, really good. With this thing, we can expand the cavalry team on a large scale and build the strongest cavalry in the world. It's great!"

Chen Yang suddenly said: "Old Cao, what you think is still too simple. I said that it can improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. I can't do it even if I can't do it. The real place to improve is here!"

As he said that, Chen Yang pointed to the stirrups.

"This thing looks quite ordinary, is it really that useful?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"That's right, Lao Xu, I'll ask you a question. If you ride on a war horse and rush with the enemy, or suddenly want to bend your bow and shoot arrows while riding a horse, are you worried about the danger of falling off the horse's back?" Chen Yang looked at Xu Chu and asked.

Xu Chu nodded and said, "Cabinets must clamp their legs tightly to the horse's belly to stabilize themselves. To achieve riding and shooting, ordinary cavalry must stop the horse and bend their bows. They can ride and shoot while riding and shooting. Only if they think of a brave general like me, can do it."

He said this, and praised himself and laughed proudly.

Chen Yang continued, "Then Lao Xu, put your feet on the stirrups and do a charge riding and shooting for everyone."

Xu Chu got Cao Cao's consent, and he was not vague. He picked up the bow and arrow and rode his horse. When the speed of the war horse reached its peak, Xu Chu bent his bow and arrow and easily hit the tree pole a hundred steps away.

At this time, Xu Chu tied the reins and stopped the horse, he was stunned.

He knew his strength very well. In the past, he would never be able to hit a target that was a hundred steps away. When he was riding and shooting just now, he was very relaxed to free up his hands. He didn't need to clamp the horse's belly or worry about falling off the horse.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu looked down at the stirrups, then continued to charge and sprint, shooting three arrows in a row, all hitting the targets.

"Okay! Haha...so good!"

Xu Chu came back from riding a horse and said excitedly: "With this thing, riding a horse is really not difficult."

Dian Wei also knew Xu Chu's strength. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly said, "Old Xu, is it really that good? No, I want to give it a try too."

After saying that, he jumped directly onto the horse's back, just like Xu Chu, riding and shooting, hitting every shot.

Cao Cao was also from the army. At this time, he was stunned for a long time when he saw that the two generals around him had more horse skills than before, and then he was ecstatic.

"Give orders immediately to create such horse hooves and stirrups in large quantities. Before conquering Yuan Shu, all cavalry must be equipped with such things." Cao Cao shouted excitedly.

With this kind of thing, even ordinary infantry can become cavalry as long as they understand equestrians a little.

Cao Cao was not very confident about the cavalry fighting against Yuan Shu. At this moment, he was already thinking that after fighting Yuan Shu, he could even go directly to fight Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said again: "The stirrup can really improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, more than ten times. This time, you have made great contributions again by Manager Chen!"

Chen Yang said modestly: "It's enough to satisfy the Prime Minister. Besides, isn't my credit yours? As long as you remember to give me a reward."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "This reward must be given, why don't you come to our army directly, should you?"

Chen Yang waved his hand quickly: "I'll forget it, marching and fighting are not suitable for me."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ning and said, "Since you don't want to fight, then Ning'er... can you think about it again?"

At this moment, Cao Ning finally realized how powerful Chen Yang was, but when he heard his father's words, he looked up proudly, and didn't want to look at Chen Yang again.

Chen Yang said helplessly: "Old Cao, this is really not good. With our relationship, you don't need to use this method to tie me and you together, right?"

Cao Cao was shocked. It turned out that his little idea had been seen through by Manager Chen. He quickly smiled awkwardly and stopped worrying about this issue.

"However, Lao Cao, I have something to discuss with you. How about you let Lao Dian fight with my men?"

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Wang Yue, come up!"

Then, he looked at Wang Yue and Dian Wei with a fiery look, wondering which one of them is better.

Chen Yang has seen Lao Dian's strength.

Chen Yang has also seen Wang Yue's swordsmanship.
