"Defeated, defeated?" Sima Zhao muttered to himself, his face extremely ugly. "How is that possible? 100,000 troops! How can you lose? ”

In Sima Zhao's impression, Sima Wangke is a general who can fight habitually, guarding Yongliang for eight years, and the famous general Jiang Wei of the Shu Han Dynasty is on a par with Guan Long, so when he heard that there was something in Longxi, the first person Sima Zhao thought of was Sima Wang, but what he never expected was that Sima Wang was defeated in the first battle, and the loss of troops reached more than 20,000 people, which made Sima Zhao simply unacceptable.

Jia Chong said: "King Jin, the defeat of Sima Hussar's cavalry this time, there is indeed some intention to underestimate the enemy, the street pavilion has been repeatedly attacked, the army can not advance an inch, Liu Yin seized the opportunity, and borrowed 30,000 Qiang soldiers, counterattack successfully, Sima Hussar's back suffered from the enemy, and had to lead the troops back to Guanzhong. ”

Sima Zhao frowned, and said: "Even if Liu Yin borrowed 30,000 Qiang soldiers, we still have the advantage in terms of overall strength, not to mention that we have the advantage of cavalry, the decisive battle on the plains, why would we be defeated, even the cavalry commander Tang Bin died on the battlefield?" ”

Jia Chong secretly smiled bitterly, the Wei cavalry has an advantage, it is already in the past, and now I am afraid that they have all been reduced to fish belly. "King Jin, the minister heard that Sima Hussar's defeat was not in manpower but in a few horse harnesses."

"Harness?" Sima Zhao couldn't help but be puzzled. These 100,000 troops were defeated, what did they do?

"Exactly. The cavalry of the Shu army was equipped with a new saddle and bilateral stirrup, which doubled the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, and comprehensively suppressed our cavalry in the head-to-head confrontation, which led to the almost total annihilation of our cavalry in the Battle of Dishui Cliff. ”

Shu's weapon innovation has always been at the forefront of the Three Kingdoms. Sima Zhao knew this very well, but Cao Wei's high-level officials had not paid much attention to this matter, thinking that these things were just some strange and obscene skills, whether Zhuge even crossbows or wooden oxen and flowing horses, it was impossible to influence the development of the overall situation of the war after all. Therefore, the Wei State has always attached importance to Tuntian, to raising soldiers, and to cultivating the overall strong strength, and for the innovation of weapons technology. There hasn't been much real input.

After Ma Jun saw the Zhuge repeater in the matter, he said that he could develop a repeater that was five times more powerful than the Zhuge repeater, but the high-level Wei State was noncommittal, without financial support, and the great talent such as Ma Jun was ultimately useless, and Wei was not able to create a more powerful weapon than the Yuan Rong crossbow in the end.

So when Sima Zhao heard that the Shu army was equipped with a new style of saddle stirrups, he didn't show much surprise, although Zhuge Liang had already died. However, Shu is still stronger than Wei in the cultivation of technical talents, and what new equipment and weapons have been created. It's also a normal thing. But to Sima Zhao's surprise, after the Shu army was equipped with new horse harnesses, its combat effectiveness could be increased exponentially, and the originally weak cavalry of the Shu army suddenly surpassed the cavalry of the Wei State, is it really so amazing?

"What kind of saddle stirrup is it, take it and look at it."

Jia Chong shook his head and said: "This time, our army was defeated and lost. The Shu army has never been captured by a single person or a horse, so those saddle stirrups have only been seen by the soldiers who have fled back from the defeat, and there is no physical object. ”

Sima Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle, and he didn't capture a single enemy party. This defeat is really unprecedented, and it can be called the best.

"However, the military academy captain Qingniao has just sent a secret report from Longxi, there are drawings of this new saddle and bilateral stirrups, please read it to King Jin." Jia Chong took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over.

Sima Zhao was also born in the army, he had fought in the Quartet when he was young, and he was a true monarch on horseback, so he took a look at it and immediately understood the wonderful use of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups. What are you most afraid of on the back of a bare horse? Naturally, he was most afraid of falling down, Sima Zhao had also ridden a horse, so he naturally understood how difficult it was to sit down peacefully on the back of a high-speed galloping horse, and the things on the picture gave Sima Zhao a feeling of lightness.

Takahashi saddle solves the problem of rider longitudinal movement, and bilateral stirrups solve the problem of rider lateral movement, these two harnesses can be said to be the magic weapon of the cavalry, so that the rider on horseback is no longer in danger of falling off the horse, and his hands are also freed, which is undoubtedly an epoch-making breakthrough. In terms of speed and strength, the Shu army has an absolute advantage, and it is no wonder that the Wei cavalry will suffer defeat.

It can be said that there is no difficulty in the design and manufacture of the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral stirrups, and anyone who sees these two things will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and they can't help but say, "It's so simple, why didn't I think of it?"

Sima Zhao couldn't help but feel this way at the moment, he used to ride on horseback, and he always felt that there were shortcomings, but now when he sees these two harnesses, he dares to lack these.

Sima Zhao smiled and said: "Qing'er has made a great contribution this time, and it is not a loss to the heir of my Sima family." ”

Jia Chong also said: "The captain of the Blue Bird has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the King of Jin still needs to be rewarded." ”

Sima Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "When Qing'er returns to Beijing, there will be a big reward." Gonglu, you quickly bring the drawings to Gongcao, let the craftsmen build these saddle stirrups according to the drawings, after they are made, priority is given to equipping tigers and leopards, cavalry is the foundation of our country, and must not fall behind the Shu people. ”

"No." Jia Chong commanded. If it was said that the Cao Wei official was indifferent to the inventions and innovations of the Shu State, the shock brought to the government and the opposition by the fiasco of the cavalry can be said to be earth-shattering, after all, the biggest reliance of the Wei State is the cavalry, and after the cavalry became vulnerable, it brought a deep sense of crisis to the Wei people, so it is not surprising that Sima Zhao would also order the construction of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups in the first time. How to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, this is the primary task, not to mention the saddle stirrup is not a high-tech thing, the craftsmen only need to follow the drawings, according to the gourd to draw the scoop, to create a high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups (to be continued. )
