The scout quickly broke away from the army on a fast horse and galloped towards the territory of Tibet.

After Li Su reminded Niu Jinda, although the news had not yet been transmitted from the front, Niu Jinda seemed to believe seven points, and the march in the past few days was obviously much kinder to him.

When he was marching, he was called on if there was nothing to do, and the two rode side by side, chatting about agricultural affairs, trivial matters, state affairs, everything, Li Su was originally very low-key in the Chinese army formation, and he didn't want to take the lead in anything, but now he was forced to walk with the top general of the whole army every day, attracting countless speculative eyes, and Li Su became more and more like a pin.

If you want to stay away from Niu Jinda, but you are afraid that this general with a face that looks like a brick will be unhappy, and the general will be unhappy, so Li Su is very likely to be eaten a few military sticks according to a nitpicky mistake.

So Li Su had no choice but to follow Niu Jinda's side bitterly, and now it really became his record to join the army, and honestly follow the general.

The speed of the army is not fast, the cavalry battalion has been out of the Guanzhong for the vanguard, the remaining Chinese army foot soldiers only travel 60 miles a day, and the two armies of Hou Junji and Liu Lan started three days in advance, it is estimated that they have walked out of the Guanzhong, and Niu Jinda is the last to pull out the camp.

Repeating the same thing every day, riding, eating, and riding horses, seeing different scenery, from the desolate Loess Plateau to the leafy hills, if it weren't for the hard and tiring march, if it weren't for the poor food in the army, if it weren't for the unevenness, untidy and asymmetrical of the horses and walking carts in the ranks...... In fact, such a day is also quite good, there is a faint ancient petty bourgeois atmosphere.

On the tenth day of the march, Li Su rode on a horse. Suddenly, he noticed that something was not quite right with the horse under his seat, and his breath was a little short, and he let out a few painful screams from time to time. Walking is even more limping.

Li Su was anxious, quickly dismounted to check, get along for a long time, he and the horse have cultivated some feelings, this horse is quite spiritual, from the original a vigorous and arrogant Dawan good horse, into now does not seek to enterprising, only knows how to be lazy and slippery. Li Su felt that it must have a fate with him in this life.

Parking Ma Erle on the side of the road, Li Su took a closer look. Everything else was normal, but the left front hoof trembled slightly, obviously in unbearable pain, and struggled to lift its front hoof up. I found that the forefoot had been worn out by the stones on the road, and even oozed blood.

Li Su touched its head distressedly, the horse seemed to feel the kindness of the owner, the big head slowly twisted over, licked Li Su's palm, and looked at him pitifully with big black eyes, as if he was silently pouring out his pain.

Li Su scratched his head and muttered to himself: "Isn't there a habit of nailing horseshoes these days?" ”

In which dynasty did the horseshoe first use?

No matter what, Li Su only knew that his horse needed this. And it is very urgent, if you don't put iron shoes on it, the good horse will be useless.

Behind the Chinese army there was a baggage logistics brigade. There is a special ordnance supervisor in the logistics, mainly for the storage and repair of ordnance, such as broken siege catapults, broken handles and bladed Mo knives, etc., which will be sent to the ordnance superintendent for repair, which is equipped with more than a dozen blacksmiths. Follow the army during the day, and tinkle and knock non-stop after camping at night.

The official position of recording the army finally came into play. Li Su relied on his identity as a petty official from the eighth grade, coupled with a handsome white and pink face, and a sweet and greasy shout with "uncle" and "uncle", the supervisor of the ordnance prison smiled bitterly and pulled a blacksmith, and then patted his ass and continued to walk, and the blacksmith had to stop on the side of the road and reluctantly make a stove and start a fire.

The creation of the horseshoe is very simple, four semi-circular iron pieces, drill a few small holes in the middle to facilitate the nailing, and in less than half an hour, the four horseshoes are completed.

A few more soldiers passing by the road were brought in to help, and several of them worked together to secure the horse, and the blacksmith finally nailed the horseshoe into the four hooves after being kicked by the manic horse a few times.

"This ...... What's the use? The blacksmith stared at the horse's hooves suspiciously, half of his cheeks swollen.

Li Su looked at his face, very guilty, reached into his arms and wanted to give him dozens of dollars, but he was reluctant to think about it, so he took out a piece of air-dried muntjac meat, and Niu Jinda quietly stuffed it to him, but Li Su felt that the dried meat chewed like eating wood, and he didn't like to eat it, so he just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha at this moment.

The blacksmith was very happy, this piece of meat made him feel that it was worth the number of horseshoe, and he ran away with the muntjac meat in his hand, and as for the horseshoe, it was estimated that he had forgotten about it.

*

After nailing the horseshoe, Li Su deliberately paid attention and found that all the horses in the army did not nail this thing, Li Su was suddenly a little surprised, this thing can be sold for money, although it can't stop piracy, but you can sell this idea to the imperial court, a hundred yuan is worth a lot, right?

Wearing two pairs of iron shoes for no reason, the horse is very unaccustomed, like a virgin who has just come out of the red light district, his walking posture is weird, neighing twice from time to time, and then he bit Li Su's sleeve with his teeth dissatisfied, stabbed a few times, and the sleeve was bitten to pieces by it, Li Su turned back helplessly, and the horse looked at him, and his eyes were very unhappy.

Li Su had no choice but to touch its head, I'm afraid that this shoe can't be taken off, and you have to scrap it if you take it off.

After walking for a while, the horse finally got used to the new shoes, reluctantly accepted his fate, and walked normally.

Li Su was very low-key and silent, leading the horse to keep up with the Chinese army.

On the march the next day, Niu Jinda called Li Su over again, and the two rode together.

"What's the matter with you?" Niu Jinda is dissatisfied with the authentic.

"Huh?" Li Su was stunned.

"Every night when you camp, the first thing you do is to find a place with water to bathe, the march and battle are still smelly and exquisite, look at my army, which one bathes once a day like you?"

Li Su sighed, it's a mistake to love cleanliness, don't you feel ashamed to walk dirty every day?

Tap, tap, tap.

After nailing the horseshoe, the sound of hooves sounded very special, Niu Jinda glanced at Li Su's horse suspiciously, frowned, and couldn't help but speak.

"I heard from the guards, you still have a lot of bits and pieces? Mirror, change of clothes, snacks, and some people say that they smell wine outside your tent, little baby, did you bring wine? ”

"Huh? No, no, absolutely not, the lower officials get drunk when they get drunk, and they don't like this thing...... "Li Su hurriedly denied it, high alcohol is very effective in dealing with external injuries, although he is in the Chinese army, the chance of injury is very small, but it is always right to be prepared for everything, and the brothers of the Wang family may also be able to use it, this matter is very difficult to explain, and it is estimated that Niu Jinda is difficult to believe, so he simply concealed it.

Niu Jinda nodded: "It is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, little baby, you can be careful, if you are found by the commander, ten military sticks will definitely not be ......"

TapTapTap......

Niu Jinda is furious, and the brick face is estimated to be a Virgo.

"What do you have on your horse's hooves? What sounds so bad? ”

This is not true, there is ambiguity, Li Su must explain clearly: "The chief manager, it is 'I, the, horse, the, horse, hoof', not my horse's hooves......"

"Believe it or not, I'll smoke you? Dismount! Ben Shuai, let's see what your horse's hooves are all about! ”

"It's my horse...... The horse's hooves ......" Li Su weakly corrected again.

"Shut up! Dismount! (To be continued)
