The state now has a very mature handicraft system, the workshop has a large number of craftsmen, skilled and skilled, and the saddle stirrup is not too technical, so creating these things is really not a problem for the craftsmen of the workshop.

The most important thing is that the number is relatively large, just the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, in the early stage, 30,000 pairs, basically everyone is equipped with a pair, and then more needs to be built, in case of damage.

The number of other horse armor, heavy armor, sabers, bayonets, bows and arrows and other equipment and weapons is also very amazing, so Cao Liang arranged for the workshop to suspend the production of other weapons and equipment, and go all out to get these horse harnesses and weapons out.

After several months of intense production, the first batch of Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups arrived at the Viet Cavalry Battalion, which became the first team to equip these harnesses.

In order not to divulge this military secret, the production of Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups was carried out under extremely strict secrecy, and the same transportation process and equipment process were also kept secret to prevent the leakage of information.

The garrison camp of the Yuecai Battalion is a remote mountain, surrounded by sentry posts, and it is impossible for anyone to see the barracks and training grounds of the Yuecai Battalion without permission, Cao Liang was particularly careful at this time, because he also knew that he was constantly sending spies to Luoyang, and Sima Yi was definitely not idle, and the spies who infiltrated Bingzhou were estimated to be innumerable.

Once the high-tech saddle and bilateral stirrup, which are low-tech and easy to imitate and can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, are mastered by Sima Jun, then all the efforts made by Cao Liang before will be in vain.

Even because the number of Sima Army's cavalry far exceeds that of the Bingzhou Army, once people also master such a technique, then the consequences are likely to be catastrophic.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that before the Great War, the news of these harnesses must not be leaked out, and even after the Great War, the leakage of the news cannot be guaranteed, Cao Liang must try his best not to let the physical objects of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups fall into the hands of Sima Yi.

There is no physical reference and only imitation based on imagination, and the gap between the things made will be very large, and the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Previously, Deng Ai and the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion were still puzzled by Cao Liang's tight sentry, after all, the Yue Cavalry Battalion was not a mysterious division, it had participated in battles many times, and the opponent also knew the Yue Cavalry Battalion well, so it seemed a bit of a fuss to engage in such strict secrecy methods.

When Cao Liang personally inspected the Yue cavalry camp, he took dozens or hundreds of baggage carts with him, and these baggage carts were covered with thick tarpaulin, covered tightly, and nothing could be seen.

The army escorting these wagons was very tightly guarded as if they were facing a great enemy, and no one was allowed to try to approach them.

Deng Ai was confused, it stands to reason that the baggage trucks are transporting nothing more than materials and provisions, so heavily guarded, there is no need.

When these equipment were unloaded from the baggage truck, Deng Ai was even more stunned, how could he never see this pile of things, and he didn't know what Cao Liang was doing with these things.

Cao Liang didn't say anything explicitly, just smiled slightly, ordered someone to bring Deng Ai's mount over, and then asked people to put the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups for Deng Ai to load on the horse, and said to Deng Ai with a smile: "Shizai, you come and try." ”

Deng Ai watched from the side, the people brought by Cao Liang have been tinkering for a long time, from the point of view of appearance, this should be a saddle and stirrups, in fact, it is not a novelty, but the appearance is very different from the saddle stirrup he usually uses, the saddle is not flat, there is a groove in the middle, the stirrup is not ordinary, it was originally made of wooden planks and ropes, and now this stirrup is made of iron, much stronger, and the position is much higher than the original, and the number has changed from one to two, which are placed on the left and right sides of the war horse.

It didn't seem to be anything special, but after Deng Ai rode the war horse, he immediately experienced an extraordinary feeling.

Deng Ai has been marching and fighting for many years, his riding skills are exquisite, and his ability to control war horses is naturally beyond ordinary people, especially the art of riding and archery, which makes Deng Ai proud, after all, people who can master riding and archery skills on horseback are a minority of the few.

Now that Deng Ai had just ridden a war horse equipped with a Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, he could immediately appreciate the beauty of these two things, and the wonderful design held him firmly on the horse's back, even if he released the reins, or even swung his body sharply, he did not have to worry about falling off the horse.

With such saddles and stirrups, it was ten times easier to harness a war horse than before, and with more things to do with the hands freed, riding and archery, which had previously been done only by a very few, now seemed to be competent for most people.

Deng Ai immediately became excited, you must know that the cavalry archer is a high-end existence among the cavalry, especially when the war horse gallops at high speed, and the archer who can shoot accurate arrows, which is rare but not sought, Deng Ai has been trying to form a cavalry archery team for many years, but due to the lack of talent, it is difficult for his dream to have a realistic opportunity.

Now it's different, as long as the Yue Cavalry Battalion can be fully equipped with this kind of saddle and stirrups, this dream really has a realistic chance.

The combination of cavalry and archers is not as simple as one plus one, it is completely a qualitative change, which can greatly improve the combat ability of cavalry.

"My lord, this ...... How many more are these saddle stirrups? Deng Ai jumped off the horse and came to Cao Liang's face, saying eagerly.

Cao Liang ordered someone to lift the tarpaulin on the baggage cart, and said with a smile: "How many you want, enough for you to equip the entire Yue cavalry battalion." ”

Deng Ai saw that the baggage cart was densely filled with this kind of saddle and stirrups, and his eyes immediately straightened, artifact, this is definitely an artifact, if the Yue Cavalry Battalion is equipped with these horse harnesses, the improvement of combat effectiveness is not a star.

"Too ...... Great, my lord, there is ...... With these things, the more riding the camp can cultivate, more riding ...... Horse archery is coming! Deng Ai said excitedly.

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Shizai, from now on, the Yue cavalry battalion will be all archers, this is the first archer team in history!" ”
