171.Chapter 171

Chen Xu led everyone to the stable and let them see the war horses equipped with Takahashi saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes.

When the generals saw these novelties, they all felt a little incredible.

After Chen Xu explained to them the usefulness of these things, the generals were eager to test whether these things worked.

Chen Hu's riding skills are undoubtedly much inferior to Tang Chen. It wasn't much of a stretch to get him on his horse, but it was a bit reluctant to keep his bow right and right on his horse.

Therefore, when he saw these novelties, he couldn't help but pull out a war horse and ride it to gallop on the school grounds.

The rest of the generals who were not very skilled in riding couldn't help but pull out their war horses to test.

For a while, there were only four generals left in the entire school field: Chen Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Huang, and Tang Chen, as well as Tian Feng and Cheng Yu, two scribes.

Chen Xu himself has tested these things a long time ago and knows their practicality. Zhao Yun's own riding skills are superb, and he is Chen Xu's personal soldier, so he is inseparable from Chen Xu.

And Zhao Huang and Tang Chen, they have grown up on horseback since they were children. For them, the war horse is a part of their body.

So they don't care if they have these things or not.

The generals galloped over the school field, completely freeing up their arms and allowing them to shoot their bows left and right on top of their horses without worrying about their bodies being unable to maintain balance.

Dian Wei was the first to dismount, came to Chen Xu's side, and said: "Lord, with these things, my combat power can be increased by at least two levels, even if I fight with Lu Bu again, even if I can't defeat it, I am not afraid of it." ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was even more overjoyed, and said: "If this is the case, my Yellow Turban Army will dominate the world and will be just around the corner." ”

Due to his poor background, Dian Wei has not trained in equestrianism since he was a child, so his riding skills are not very superb.

The requirements of the horse general for riding skills are very important, just like Tang Chen, although his strength is far from Dian Wei, but he can fight Dian Wei for twenty rounds undefeated, and forced Dian Wei to go all out.

It can be seen from this that it is of great significance to a military general to be able to have excellent riding skills.

Chen Xu made people create this kind of thing, which can completely make up for the shortcomings of many Yellow Turban Army generals who are not good at riding.

It can even increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army by two layers.

It didn't take long for all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who had gone to test the horses to come back, and they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.

At this time, Tang Chen, who was staying aside, suddenly said: "I think that for those who are excellent at riding, these things will not only not become a help, but will become a burden. ”

Chen Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Hideyoshi say this?" ”

Tang Chen replied: "Have you ever seen me turn over and hide under the horse's belly when I was competing with General Dian?" ”

Chen Xu nodded and said, "Hideyoshi's riding skills are excellent, even I admire them." ”

Tang Chen puffed up his chest proudly, although his strength was not as good as Dian Wei's, his riding skills far surpassed most of the people in the Yellow Turban Army.

"The three thousand sons under my account, they live on horseback almost all in their spare time, and their riding skills are not far from mine."

"And those Xianbei people who have grown up on horseback since childhood, their riding skills are even slightly better than ours."

"For those of us who can treat war horses as part of our bodies. When the enemy shoots arrows or engages the enemy, we can all hide under the belly of the horse. ”

"On the contrary, if these things are installed immediately, it will not only increase the weight of the horse, but also affect the agility of the knight."

"That's why I say that these things are not only not helpful, but rather burdensome."

Chen Xu thought for a while, and set his eyes on Zhao Huang, wanting to hear what he said.

Zhao Huang also nodded and said: "For cavalry, speed is everything. There are a lot of burly men, if they can't find a BMW that matches their figure, they will have to weigh it, and they will become a burden on the crotch war horse. ”

"Although these things may not seem to weigh much, in the case of long-distance cavalry raids or long battles, these inconspicuous weights will reveal their disadvantages."

"But most of our Han people's riding skills are not as good as those of the Hu people. Therefore, these things made by the lord are completely beneficial to my Yellow Turban Army. ”

"However, the three thousand cavalry I brought only need to install horseshoes on the hooves of the war horses, and as for other things, they are completely unnecessary."

Chen Xu was a little suspicious on his face, he really didn't believe that the riding skills of the three thousand cavalry were so superb that they didn't need these things.

As if knowing what Chen Xu was thinking, Zhao Huang hurriedly said: "If the lord doesn't believe it, you can go and inspect this cavalry." Every one of them is definitely the best of the cavalry. ”

Zhao Huang's face was a little proud, the more powerful the cavalry under his tent, the higher the status of him and Tang Chen in Chen Xu's heart in the future.

Chen Xu's heart moved when he heard this, since the three thousand cavalry came, he was busy entertaining Tang Chen and Zhao Huang, and he had never seen this cavalry that had been fighting Xianbei in the north for nine years.

Since Zhao Huang is so fond of this team, then they must have their own merits.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu said: "I just want to go and see the majestic posture of these three thousand tigers, since Ziliang proposed so, how about I go down the mountain to watch together?" ”

For Chen Xu's proposal, the generals naturally will not disagree.

But Zhao Huang and Tang Chen are new investors after all, and it is impossible for Chen Xu not to be wary. So let Chen Hu and Chen Jing secretly dispatch troops.

If the 3,000 cavalry made the slightest move, they would lead the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army to support.

And Chen Xu only led a few hundred personal soldiers, as well as the generals under his tent, and went down the mountain to watch those cavalry.

These 3,000 cavalry were settled in an open area under the mountain. Three thousand men and horses are a little crowded here, but they can accommodate it.

After Chen Xu and hundreds of others arrived, Zhao Huang said to everyone: "This is our lord, why don't you come to visit?" ”

These cavalrymen all obeyed Zhao Huang and Tang Chenyan, and they naturally would not object to the opinions of the two.

Moreover, defecting to the Yellow Turban Army is also of great benefit to their families.

Everyone came to a place not far from Chen Xu, knelt on the ground together, and said, "I'll wait to see the lord!" ”

Chen Xu raised his eyes and found that the three thousand people and horses all revealed a strong murderous aura. From their faces, Chen Xu could see that these people were all unruly.

Although they knelt on the ground and shouted to the lord, their hearts were not necessarily completely convinced.

Chen Xu knows that a strong team has its own pride. If they lose this pride, they don't deserve to be called elite soldiers.

After letting everyone get up, Chen Xu said to everyone: "I heard Ziliang and Hideyoshi say that you are the bravest warriors in the north and the most ferocious lone wolf in the grassland. ”

"Your bravery can terrify the cruel Xianbei; And your riding skills make those Hu people who have lived on horseback since they were children also sigh to themselves. ”

"Then please tell me, would you like to show off your riding skills and bravery here?"

When the three thousand cavalry heard this praise, they naturally puffed up their chests proudly, and they shouted in unison: "I am willing!" ”

Chen Xu showed a smile on his face, he raised his hand and pointed to the more than fifty people in the east, and said, "It's you, pick up your own weapons, ride your own war horses, and show yourself to your heart's content!" ”

The more than 50 people who were ordered by Chen Xu had a happy face.

When the rest of the cavalry had retreated to the edge of the open field, the fifty men mounted their horses and lined up in five formations to show off their horsemanship and bravery.

More than fifty soldiers who were randomly ordered by Chen Xu, each of them had very amazing riding skills, at least Chen Xu himself was a little embarrassed.

They advanced and retreated freely, and each of them was able to ride a war horse and shoot a bow from side to side without stirrups.

Zhao Yun looked at these fierce and fierce cavalrymen, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Chen Xu glanced at Zhao Yun's expression, and then looked at the cavalrymen who were cheering loudly and with pride on their faces, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a trace of weird arc.

No matter how elite the cavalry is, if it can't command like an arm, it can't exert its greatest power.

For these proud and conceited people, they can only be respected if they defeat them overwhelmingly in what they do best.

After the more than fifty cavalry performed, everyone applauded, including the generals under Chen Xu's tent.

Like arrogant peacocks, they came to Chen Xu, waiting for the reward of these five new masters.

Chen Xu looked at them with a smile, shook his head deliberately and said, "Although it looks good, I don't know what the real combat effectiveness is?" ”

When those people heard this, they seemed to feel insulted, and immediately said, "If the lord doesn't believe in our combat effectiveness, you might as well send someone to try it out." ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was silent and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you go on the field and try it with them." ”

For Chen Xu's words, everyone felt a little incredible.

In the face of such an elite fifty cavalry, he only sent one person to fight, is it a little too arrogant?

Only Tian Feng and Cheng Yu glanced at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Zhao Yun was also stunned when he suddenly heard Chen Xu's words, and then said with some hesitation: "Lord, did you just send me to fight?" ”

Chen Xu nodded, and said meaningfully: "Zilong's bravery, I know it deeply. Although there were more than 50 of them, with Zilong's riding skills and bravery, they were not unable to win. ”

Then, Chen Xu secretly glanced at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun seemed to think of something, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Since the lord has an order, how can he resist and disobey the order?" Although they are brave and good at fighting, even if there are fifty more people, why should they be afraid? ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were all furious. They couldn't care about anything else, and said to Zhao Yun one after another: "Yellow-mouthed sons, dare to take advantage of their tongues? ”
