A similar situation occurred in the Tun Cavalry Camp and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the first time Cao Liang went to deliver horse harness to the cavalry operation, including Shi Bao and Wen Qin, who were all amazed, and who, like Yanghu, had a strong interest in the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrups.

This is indeed a very magical thing, simple, practical and efficient, many people ride on horseback, have a sudden sense of enlightenment, such a good thing, such a useful thing, why didn't I think of it?

Takahashi's saddle is nothing more than an addition of a groove to the ordinary saddle, and the bilateral stirrup is just an addition to the foundation of the unilateral stirrup, which seems to be a simple improvement, but it has produced extraordinary results, the horses that were originally difficult to control are now relaxed, and the stiff body that was originally riding on the back of the horse has become flexible and free, and even the hands are free.

Freeing up the hands means that the cavalry can choose more weapons, and in terms of strength and skill, two-handed weapons are far more powerful than one-handed weapons, which is absolutely real for the improvement of cavalry combat effectiveness.

Heavy cavalry covered with armor has not appeared before, but it is also an example, Yuan Shao had 300 horse armor in the battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao claimed to be only ten, which shows that this horse armor is atypical equipment, there are only a few equipment in the army, and there is no formed armed army.

The high cost of horse armor is certainly one aspect, but if the ideal combat effect can be achieved, then I believe that those wealthy and powerful groups will spare no effort to chase it.

In fact, because of the difficulty of controlling horses, it is difficult for heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor to form an effective impact force, and these scarce heavy cavalry are mostly used for defense, defending the main general or defending the vital parts in the battle formation, effectively resisting the impact of the enemy's cavalry.

The use of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups allows the heavy cavalry to control the war horse freely, so that the formed heavy cavalry initiates a group impact, just like a metal storm blowing on the battlefield, this kind of indestructible power, just looking at it is already shocking.

Relatively speaking, the changes of the Xiao cavalry battalion are the smallest, but Cao Liang's combat requirements for the light cavalry are the most stringent, the tactics of the light cavalry pay attention to small and fast, like the speed of the wind, often they will appear in the most unlikely position, roundabout attack, advance and retreat freely, elusive.

It has always been Cao Liang's ideal to build such a large number of cavalry, but because there is no high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups, Cao Liang can only put this idea on hold, before Cao Liang was worried, and did not dare to easily launch these two cavalry artifacts, and now it is time for the decisive battle with Sima Yi, Cao Liang is ready to give it a go completely, so the light cavalry, heavy cavalry and archers came into being.

The archers are responsible for long-range attacks, the light cavalry is responsible for roundabout attacks, and the heavy cavalry is the main force of attacking the enemy, responsible for breaking through the enemy's defenses head-on.

In the past, when the cavalry battalions were fighting, they basically fought independently and did their own thing, occasionally fighting in coordination, but they only flanked the left and right, and outflanked the front and rear.

And now, Cao Liang has put forward a new requirement for them, that is, the three cavalry battalions will become a unified combat unit, and they will still follow the original establishment when they practice camping in peacetime, but in wartime, they will cooperate with each other and cooperate in battle, so as to give full play to the strongest combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

This is a secret weapon of Cao Liang, in the case of Sima Yi's crazy expansion of armaments, Cao Liang did not even increase a single soldier, but Cao Liang completely improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by modifying the harness and dividing the troops, so Cao Liang is naturally full of confidence in the next decisive battle.

The power of scientific and technological invention is infinite, it can turn decay into magic, and the state cavalry has increased its combat effectiveness several times without increasing the number, which is obviously something that Sima Yi can't make up for no matter how many people he adds.

Cao Liang always paid attention to Sima Yi's movements, and Sima Yi had obviously realized the importance of cavalry, and did not hesitate to increase local investment, trying to crush the cavalry in terms of numbers.

The training of cavalry is not as simple as infantry, if you want to have a mature cavalry unit, it needs to carry out long-term training, Sima Yi used to disrupt the establishment, and mix the new soldiers into the veterans, so that you can achieve the purpose of bringing the new with the old and speed up the training of cavalry.

This method is very effective, not to mention that when Sima Yi selects people, he basically selects those who can ride horses, so that the process of basic training is omitted, and the training speed of cavalry is greatly improved.

Sima Yi, who is past the age of old, has a feeling that he will not wait for me, after all, he has lived to this age, and the rest of his days are counted with his fingers, and no one knows when he will be called by Lord Yan and embark on the road to Huangquan, so Sima Yi, who already feels that his body is not as good as before, has a sense of urgency.

He must take advantage of his ability to quell the rebellion in the state and eliminate Cao Liang's separatist forces, so that even if he leaves the west, he can die blindly.

Bingzhou has become the last piece of the puzzle of Sima's power, and Cao Liang is also regarded by Sima Yi as the most difficult opponent, with the ability of his two sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, Sima Yi feels that they are difficult to compete with Cao Liang, so Sima Yi hopes that in his lifetime, this strong enemy that hinders the great cause of the Sima family will be eradicated, and pave a smooth road for the Sima family's Qianqiu imperial industry.

Therefore, Sima Yi's time is very urgent, but at the same time, he is also a very cautious person, planning and then acting, is Sima Yi's life's criterion, without full preparation, he will not act easily.

He can use ten years to liquidate Cao Shuang, and he can also use his life to seize Cao Wei's country, but in dealing with Cao Liang, Sima Yi is extremely entangled, after all, Cao Liang is younger than him, even younger than Sima Zhao, he has enough time to consume, and Sima Yi has no more.

Sima Yi must seize the last time of his life to solve the last big trouble of the Sima family, time does not wait for me, there is a long way to go, for Sima Yi, this will be the biggest and heaviest challenge in his life.
