The capital in April is not very hot, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, the willows are smoking, and the wind is fine, but it is a rare good weather.

Time is undoubtedly a good medicine for wounds, so far, it has been half a year since I brought the siege of the city last year, and the town of Kexi in western Beijing has recovered its former prosperity, with many shops on the streets, pedestrians weaving, and cars coming and going on the official road into Beijing...... No, it should be said that the car comes and the pigs go to and fro, that's right, it is the car and the pigs.

At this time, I saw a group of pigs coming from the direction of the capital, to be precise, it should be a team of officers and soldiers driving a group of fat pigs over, and they drove into the town along the official road.

The number of this group of second senior brothers is a bit huge, it is estimated that there are hundreds of heads, one by one, fat and round, with their heads held high, arching wherever they go, their arrogance is very arrogant, more than ten zhang away, the strong smell of urine comes to their nostrils, and the vendors and pedestrians on the street cover their noses to dodge, and the chaos is so chaotic.

The officers and soldiers in charge of driving the pigs were hoarse, and they hurriedly ran back and forth to restrain the pigs, and by the time the arrogant pig generals had completely passed the town, the streets were already in shambles, and the streets were full of stench of pig feces and pig urine.

The customers were gone, and the shopkeepers and men of the shops in the town were so angry that they jumped to their feet and cursed, but in this way there was no use except to vent their frustrations, and in the end they had to pinch their noses and clean the streets themselves.

"Grandma's, it's too lacking in morality, so it's locked up in a pig cage, and it's all over the place with pig and pig urine, it's really a sin!"

"Hey, I just saw those officers and soldiers driving pigs into the camp of the Shenji Battalion, and they dare to be pigs from the Shenji Battalion."

"You're not mistaken, are you? Didn't the Shenji Battalion go to sea with Jinghaihou to quell the chaos, there were not a few people left in the camp, why do you want so many pigs? Is it going to be converted into a pig farm? ”

"Well, it's not impossible, pork has been expensive lately, and I can't afford to eat it."

"Nonsense, even if the Shenji camp is converted into a pig farm, piglets should be raised, I didn't see that those pigs are all fat and big-eared, in my opinion, it is estimated that the Marquis of Jinghai is about to triumph, and the imperial court is preparing to reward the three armies."

As they cleaned the streets in front of their shops, the shopkeepers were rambling to guess the purpose of the fat pigs.

At this time, in the camp of the Shenji Battalion, hundreds of fat pigs had been driven into the pre-prepared pig pen, and the howl was shocking, not ordinary lively.

In front of the pigpen is an open field, I saw Jiajing Emperor Zhu Hou dressed as a scholar, holding a gold-painted folding fan, followed closely behind He Zhi'er step by step, with a "flattering" smile on his face, a happy licking dog.

After the New Year, he is a year older, He Zhi'er is obviously plump, at this moment wearing a peaked cap, her pink face is red in protein, her eyebrows are delicate, her small mouth is bright red and red, and the curve of her body is becoming more and more obvious, and her whole body is interpreting the beauty of a young girl.

He Zhi'er was wearing a wear-resistant linen dress, and a large pocket was sewn on her belly, which was specially used to put measuring tools, and she liked to put her hands in the big pockets when she was fine, which seemed to add a little cuteness, and Zhu Hou boy liked He Zhi'er's appearance in his pocket.

At this time, He Zhi'er walked back and forth with her hands in her pockets, while instructing her craftsmen to arrange her new invention.

It is said that this new invention of He Zhi'er is a bit scary, it looks like a carpet, but it is an iron "carpet" covered with sharp barbs, and if this person steps on it, it is estimated that his feet will be wasted. The barbs above are not a joke, pierced into the flesh and bones, it is basically impossible to pull them out, if you force them out, the soles of the feet will not rot a large piece of meat, if you hook the bones, the taste is terrifying just thinking about it.

Zhu Hou felt his scalp tingle and a chill on his back when he looked at the dense barbs on the "carpet" at this time, while He Zhi'er looked meticulous and stretched out her foot to try to step on the spikes.

Zhu Hou was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed He Zhi and said, "Sister Zhi'er, be careful, these iron thorns are very sharp, and they are injured carefully." ”

"Brother Sigun, what are you doing?" He Zhi'er broke away from Zhu Hou's hand and quickly stepped on the spikes of the iron carpet, but these spikes magically fell forward, not hurting He Zhi'er's feet at all.

It turns out that these spikes are very cleverly designed, in the shape of a slightly curved crescent, so when they are erected, they are not vertical, but slightly tilted forward, as long as they are stepped on the side of the inclined surface, the spikes will hang down very docilely, and they will not hurt people at all, but if they are stepped on from the opposite direction, the end will be completely opposite, and the bottom of the foot will be pierced by sharp spikes.

He Zhi'er stepped on the spiked slope a few more times, glanced at the stunned Emperor Jiajing proudly, and said with a grimace: "As long as you are smart, people make their own things, then you don't know the danger?" ”

Jiajing touched his nose in embarrassment, followed He Zhi'er's example, stretched out his foot and stepped on those spikes, and the spikes really fell forward meekly, as soon as he let go of his feet, those spikes bounced up automatically, like a beast showing its sharp teeth.

After understanding the principle, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Sister Zhi'er, this stumbling horse nail is really ingenious and clever, in this way, if the enemy's cavalry rushes through, it will be stabbed, but our cavalry can attack unharmed, haha, I really don't know Xu Qing...... Cough brother-in-law's brain melon seeds, what mines, grenades, this tripping horse nail is even more amazing, it is simply a big killer against the Tartar cavalry, the brother-in-law is too insidious, too despicable! ”

He Zhi'er's pretty face suddenly pulled down, and she pouted: "Don't say bad things about my brother!" ”

Zhu Hou hurriedly laughed and said: "I mean my brother-in-law is really amazing, and his whimsical ideas are endless, which makes people scream, of course, Sister Zhi'er is even more powerful, and she can put her brother-in-law's whimsical ideas into reality, she is simply a master...... No, it's a master's hand! ”

He Zhi'er turned her anger into joy at this time, and hummed: "As long as you talk a lot, it is still unknown whether it is practical or not." ”

Zhu Hou pointed to the hundreds of big fat pigs in the pig pen, and said with a smug smile: "It doesn't work, it's clear if you try it." ”

The stumbling horse nails made by He Zhi'er are about three meters long and two meters wide, which can be rolled up and are very easy to carry.

Soon, the craftsman laid out the six rows of triphorse spikes, the dense rows of spikes glittering in the sunlight.

On the other side, the officers and men were already waiting in the pens, tying hay to the tail of each fat pig and drizzling it with oil.

"Herd the pigs!" Zhu Hou gave a majestic order, and the officers and soldiers immediately opened the pig pen and lit the hay on the pig's tail, and hundreds of second senior brothers immediately escaped from the pig pen with a miserable howl, and rushed to the stumbling horse row nail formation like crazy.

The result can be imagined, the fire pig array broke into the row of nails, and suddenly the blood flowed like a river, and the few fat pigs that ran in front were the worst, and they fell on the row of nails first, and then they were trampled by the companions behind to cry wolf, and their bodies were pierced with spikes, and they died on the spot.

However, there are a few second brothers who are very strong, and they actually overturned the whole row of tripping horse nails, and then dragged them away, and even pigs can turn over the whole row of tripping horse nails, let alone horses with more strength?

So He Zhier decisively decided to remove the barbs on the row of nails and replace them with straight spurs without hooks. Although barbs can cause more damage to the hooves of the war horse, the disadvantage is also obvious, it is easy for the war horse to overturn the whole row of nails, thus losing its effect, so no barbs are obviously more cost-effective than having barbs.
