Chapter 5: The Stirrups

"Okay, Dong Zhuo's old thief will die soon." Lu Bu laughed.

"Why did the general say that?" Cao Xuan asked.

"Hmph, that Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior in Luoyang City has already provoked the anger of the heavens and people, and he wanted to abolish the current saint, but Ding Tingshi tried his best to stop it, not wanting to be harmed by it; But he underestimated the heroes of the world, and with just a message, Dong Zhuo would become the target of the princes' crusade, and there was no reason to win against the world with his own strength. Lu Bu naturally knew this history and said in a casual manner.

"The general is wise." Cao Xuan echoed.

"Don't pat yourself on the back, train hard, don't think that you can be special if you are the commander of the Tiger Guard, if the Tiger Guard is not qualified, you will feed the horse to the Tiger Guard."

"Don't worry, general, you still have the ability to be humble." Cao Xing said with a smile, among the generals, he dared to do this in front of Lu Bu, this is still after recent observation, he found that Lu Bu's temper has become much better, and he has made more jokes or something.

"Get out." Lu Bu feigned anger.

"I'm going to get out, I'm going to get out." Cao said with a hippie smile.

Lu Bu felt a warmth in his heart, and seemed to have found the feeling of being in the army in his previous life, in contrast, there was more obedience in the Bingzhou army, and there was less comradeship, it seems that there will be time to change it in the future, so that the soldiers in the army can find a sense of belonging, which is more conducive to improving combat effectiveness.

The generals of the various departments were busy training, and Lu Bu couldn't be idle, in order to adapt to the war horse faster, in the past few days, he fell off the horse, and there were a lot of jokes in front of the generals in the army.

After some observation, Lu Bu found that the war horses of the Han Dynasty were indeed missing something, no wonder they always fell off the horse, the stirrup is an indispensable thing for the war horse, with him, it becomes easy to get on and off the horse, and you will not worry about falling off the war horse if you make various movements on the war horse.

So Lu Bu ordered someone to quietly build a stirrup, so as to ensure the free movement on the war horse, I have to say that Lu Bu's body is worthy of being the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and the strength is not enough to say, the halberd method in memory is also earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, as long as they are proficient in using it, who is the opponent in the world, in addition to this riding skill needs to be strengthened.

Subsequently, Lu Bu installed stirrups for all the war horses, and with this epoch-making treasure, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry doubled, and the cavalry could only do some simple actions on horseback.

With stirrups, you can make some difficult movements, ordinary cavalry has the riding skills of ordinary generals, and it is definitely a crushing existence on the battlefield, riding on a war horse with stirrups, Lu Bu also feels very comfortable, and he doesn't have to worry about falling off the war horse at all times.

The cavalry was also very excited after discovering the usefulness of the stirrup, thinking that the next time they met the Xiliang army, let them see what riding is.

That night, Lu Bu led Cao Xing's thousand tiger guards and quietly started the night drill.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the four fields, and after several battles, how could the Bingzhou army not understand that there was cavalry coming.

"Enemy attack!" The patrolling soldier shouted, and kept banging the gong in his hand.

Many of the soldiers had just fallen asleep, and the noise dragged them back from their dreams, and they hurriedly put on their clothes, but in their panic they forgot where their weapons were.

Looking at the panicked battalion and the generals who blindly commanded, and even some soldiers pointed their swords and guns at their own soldiers and horses, Lu Bu frowned.

"Ignition!" Lu Bu said coldly.

Under the light of the fire, the panicked soldiers saw that it was their own soldiers and horses, and breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Lian looked at his disheveled subordinates with a blue face, and walked towards Lu Bu.

"Look at what you all look like, just thinking about avenging Lord Thorn Shi? Just like you, if it's really the Xiliang Army that kills you, how many of them will be alive? In the tent, Lu Bu said sharply: "Have you all forgotten the lesson that night? ”

"General Cheng Lian, that's how you usually train your soldiers, and when the enemy attacks, you go into battle with your bare hands."

"General Qiyu, the training of the lowly post is not effective, please punish the general." Cheng Lian's face turned red.

"Hmph, forget it the first time, if the next time I see a soldier who doesn't have a weapon, you will personally go and fetch the weapon for him, and if anyone is not dressed, you will help him put it on."

"No." Cheng Lian arched his hand, thinking about how to train those subordinates after he went back.

The other generals in the tent were shocked, it seems that they will strengthen night training in the future, otherwise they will come out like this, not to mention the shame, maybe they will lose their officials.

"In the future, the night rest, the generals should be clear about the position of their soldiers, once there is a change, they can organize soldiers and horses in time, and the soldiers who patrol at night must be vigilant, and all use passwords, if I find that you are like this in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, I will roll to the grassland to feed the horses."

After Lu Bu personally led the army to steal the camp, the soldiers and horses of each department were much more cautious when they rested at night, and in the face of the next two stealing camps, they could also organize resistance in an orderly manner, although they were still a little flustered, but they were not so helpless.

What the soldiers are most afraid of is not knowing how many enemies are coming, plus many soldiers can't see at night, and they will unconsciously produce fear psychologically, which is also a common problem of ancient soldiers, due to long-term malnutrition, many soldiers can't see at night.

These fears are the source of confusion in the army, and once the non-commissioned officers of the annexed state army can overcome this, they will have a great advantage on the battlefield.

"Brothers, killing the enemy also requires your own skills, usually let you train hard, so that you have the ability to save your life on the battlefield, the ability to kill, now, the assessment begins." Lu Bu, who was dressed in military uniform, stood on the high platform and said loudly.

"Brother." Hearing such a cordial title, the hearts of the generals and soldiers below warmed, and there was such a general who regarded himself as a brother, what was there to be dissatisfied.

Looking at the sparse pace of the infantry, Lu Bu shook his head slightly, such a team can be said to have no discipline at all, and it is not certain whether the orders on the battlefield can be effectively implemented, and the formation of the cavalry is all over the mountains.

The assessment of the soldiers is also an examination of some basic strength and speed, after all, the people of each department are not trapped in the camp, and they can do it like an arm under the command of Gao Shun, looking at the chaotic formation, Lu Bu did not change a lot, and he also lost the patience to look down.

"The generals of the various ministries are out of the ranks." Lu Bu said in a low voice.

"Now General Ben will teach you how to walk and how to turn, and after you go down, teach the commanders below, so that the soldiers can practice more in peacetime." In front of the officers and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu showed some simple actions such as walking in unison and how to turn.
