At this moment, Ming Sakyamuni expresses his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Because Wang Can cares about them.
Because Wang Can sincerely helped them.
"Everyone stop and come over here."
Ming Sakyamuni roared towards the craftsman's workshop, and in an instant, everyone came. One by one, they gathered around Ming Sakyamuni. When they saw the pumpkin that Wang Can had brought, and heard Ming Sakyamuni say that Wang Can had brought him,
After receiving a bag of mung beans, everyone became excited.
Everyone looked at Wang Can with not only admiration, but also gratitude.
Ming Sakyamuni said: "Come and say thank you to the military advisor."
"Thank you, Commander!"
More than twenty craftsmen all bowed to Wang Can.
Wang Can knows that these craftsmen are truly honest, and their gratitude comes from the bottom of their hearts. Wang Can doesn't think it's anything to help these craftsmen. To him, it's just a little effort.
Wang Can said: "You don't need to say thank you. The best way you can thank me is to forge your weapons well and forge sharper weapons so that you can fight with the Rhodes City army in the future."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Wang Can then looked at Ming Sakyamuni and said: "The old man immediately boiled these pumpkins and mung beans into soup, and then placed them in the craftsman's workshop for the craftsmen to drink. You can watch the forging of saddles, horseshoes and stirrups.
Okay, I’ll go back right away.”
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will handle it properly."
Ming Sakyamuni bowed his back slightly and thanked Wang Can.
Wang Can didn't stay any longer, turned around and left. After all, he didn't know much about forging matters. Specific matters only need to be left to the craftsman's workshop, and he will not interfere with the rest.
Wang Can returned to his residence and rested in his house.
A day flies by in a blink of an eye.
The next day, early morning.
Wang Can got up early to wash up, and then went straight to Nibru's palace. He met Nibru at the palace and said: "City Lord, a strategic weapon will be forged today. Please mobilize ten cavalry."
, ten war horses, follow me to the craftsman's workshop."
Nibru said: "Strategy, what kind of weapon is it?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "The city lord will know when he arrives."
Nibru thought for a while, without asking any more questions, and immediately asked Mandras to mobilize the cavalry and war horses, and then the group went straight to the outside of the craftsman's workshop. By the time everyone arrived outside the craftsman's workshop, it was already three o'clock in the morning and the sky was already bright.
Already.
"Greetings to the city lord and military advisor!"
Ming Sakyamuni and his craftsmen have been waiting for a long time.
The saddle, stirrups and horseshoes had been forged yesterday afternoon. However, they didn't know the purpose of these items. They could only wait until Wang Can arrived to know how to deal with them.
Wang Can said: "Old sir, bring five sets of saddles, horseshoes and stirrups."
"yes!"
Ming Sakyamuni ordered to go down, and a craftsman brought weapons.
Wang Can pointed at the objects on the ground and said: "City Lord, these three objects are: a horse shoe, used to be nailed under the horse's hooves; a saddle, used to be placed on the horse's back; and a stirrup, specially used to put it on the horse's back.
Legs. These three items are called the Three Treasures of Horses in the Eastern Shu Kingdom. With horseshoes, stirrups and saddles, the combat effectiveness of cavalry can be greatly improved."
"really?"
After hearing this, Nibru was a little curious, but also a little unbelievable.
These three items alone could improve the combat effectiveness of the war horse, which he still found hard to believe.
Wang Can smiled and said, "You'll know after you try it."
After a pause, Wang Can said: "The next thing to do is to nail the horseshoes on the horses' hooves." After he said this, he ordered the soldiers to knock down the horses and fix them up, because when shoeing the horses' hooves, the horses would most likely
The horse is struggling, so the horse must be tied up and fixed to prevent the horse's shoe from failing due to the horse's struggle.
The cavalrymen were very puzzled by the process of nailing horseshoes, and even felt a hint of repulsion.
They had never heard of this process.
Not only that, in their opinion, this pair of war horses is too cruel, how can they nail the horses' hooves.
However, the person who made the arrangement was Wang Can. Although the soldiers had objections, no one refuted them. They all could only watch. With the help of the soldiers, the five horses had horseshoes nailed on all four hooves and stepped on them.
There was a rattling sound on the ground.
This scene surprised the cavalry.
Nibulu was surprised when he saw it, and said: "Military advisor, according to common sense, nails driven into the hoofs of war horses should cause damage no matter what. Why do all the war horses seem to be fine?"
Wang Can explained: "Because the hoof of each war horse is not meat, the war horse cannot feel pain."
Nibru nodded heavily.
Wang Can also asked people to put saddles and stirrups on the war horses.
Among the ten horses, five horses were equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes. The remaining five horses were as usual, without any equipment. After everything was prepared, Wang Can looked at Nibru and said: "City Lord, now we need to
It’s a competition.”
"How to compete?" Niblo asked.
Wang Can said: "The ten war horses are divided into two teams, one team is not equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses, and the other team is equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses. The cavalry of the two teams of war horses each set off from the craftsman's workshop, and then left the city from the east gate.
After three laps around the city, return to the craftsman's workshop. At that time, Mandras will arrange for someone to count outside the east gate to determine the number of laps for each war horse."
"good!"
Nibru nodded and agreed with Wang Can's decision.
The reason is unclear, and this method is the best way.
Nibru looked at all the cavalry and asked: "Is everything clear?"
"clear!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Nibulu ordered: "Then mount your horse and wait for the military advisor's order."
The ten cavalrymen each mounted their horses, then held their horse reins in hand, waiting for Wang Can's order.
Wang Can looked around at the soldiers and ordered: "Let's go!"
"Herodus!!"
One by one, the cavalry shook their reins and rushed out quickly. After all the cavalry rushed out, Mandras arranged for people to go to the east gate and prepare to count outside the east gate. Three circles around the city is not a small task.
Number can best reflect the strength of the war horse.
In fact, these ten war horses are all about the same physical strength and quality.
Once the difference is made, the effect of the three guarantees on the horse can be judged.
Wang Can said: "City Lord, how much advantage do you think a war horse equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses can have?"
Nibru shook his head and said: "I don't know the role of the three treasures in the horse, so it is difficult to judge for the time being. We have to wait for the specific situation to be seen before we can have a correct understanding. But looking at the current situation, we should be much ahead."
As soon as Wang Can heard Nibulu's words, he changed his question and said: "City Lord, how many of these five horses equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses do you think can lead?"
Nibru said: "At most four horses!"
Wang Can said: "I think all five horses will be in the lead."
Nibru said: "Commander, you will definitely lose this time. Among the cavalry who are not equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses, there is one person who is the most skilled in riding skills in the army. His riding skills are the best in the army. With him, even if
Even if a war horse is equipped with the Three Horse Treasures, it is impossible to defeat him."
Wang Can smiled and said: "In that case, we will wait and see."
The two chatted and waited quietly for news.
At this time, Ming Sakyamuni came over, bowed to Wang Can and Nibulu, and after saluting, there was a look of expectation in his eyes, and he asked: "Military advisor, the three treasures in the horse have been produced. This production is not complicated and can be used in large quantities."
Production. Now that the three treasures of Ma Zhong have been successfully produced, when will we start making the sword?"
Wang Can said: "Wait a little longer, wait for the results of the war horse competition to come out, and then think about it again."
"yes!"
Ming Sakyamuni replied with some resentment.
He finally figured out that the military advisor in front of him was a bottomless pit with countless weird things. If Wang Can could be coaxed well, he would definitely be able to get out countless good things.
Time passes little by little.
An hour, fleeting.
"Da da!"
Not far from the craftsman's workshop, there were cavalry galloping towards them.
The sound came out and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the craftsman's workshop. Wang Can and Nibru also walked out of the craftsman's workshop and came to the roadside to wait. After a while, war horses arrived one after another.
Wang Can looked carefully and saw exactly five war horses.
These five horses were all equipped with horseshoes, saddles and stirrups by him. At this time, all the cavalry on the horses had expressions of ecstasy on their faces. They turned over and dismounted, saluted Nibru and Wang Can, and said: "
City Lord, Military Advisor!"
Nibulu looked around and saw no cavalryman with the best riding skills. He was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it and realized that this was all the result of the three treasures in the horse. He became excited again and asked: "How do you feel?"
"good!"
"very nice!"
“It’s really good!”
…
One by one, the cavalrymen spoke.
Everyone felt the difference in war horses after riding on them.
The leading cavalry said: "City Lord, after the war horses are equipped with horseshoes, saddles and stirrups, our legs will not be too strenuous when riding. In addition, the war horses can run continuously. In the past, the war horses ran for a certain distance because of the ground.
Unevenness will cause damage to the hoofs, and many war horses need to be recuperated. But now the war horses seem to be unaffected and can run continuously. Especially the existence of the saddle makes us very stable on the war horses and the buttocks are much more comfortable."
The others nodded.
You won’t know until you try it. Only after you really try it will you know the benefits of the Three Treasures in Horses.
This is really useful.
After hearing this, Nibulu was completely convinced. He bowed his hands to Wang Can and said in salute: "Commander, these three treasures in the horse are really priceless. With the three treasures in the horse, our cavalry will be faster and can come and go as quickly as possible."
Wind, if you want to cover up and kill the enemy, it will be easier. Especially when fighting on the battlefield, the endurance of the war horse will be stronger."
Wang Can smiled and said: "City Lord, this is just to equip the war horse. When the new sword is forged, the soldiers will be more lethal. What Maiti City needs now is innovation, and all weapons must be innovated."
Nibru said: "Thank you for your hard work, military advisor!"
“It’s not hard work!”
Wang Can shook his head and replied that he was just talking, there was really no hard work.
A full two-quarters of an hour later, the remaining five war horses came back, and each of the war horses was exhausted and could not bear the weight. From the analysis of this situation, it was clear at a glance, and there was no doubt about it. (To be continued)
