"What do you call it? Am I not setting your bones?"
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes.
Cheng Yaojin took a breath: "Be gentle, be gentle."
¡°If you don¡¯t focus on it, you won¡¯t be able to straighten your bones.¡±
Without saying a word, Zhao Chen grabbed his leg again and made a click.
"Ahhh!!!"
Finally, Cheng Yaojin stopped screaming, and Zhao Chen said: "After you go back and cultivate for a while, you still work as a guard with your ability. It's really shameful. My Huangs are better than you."
Cheng Yaojin resisted weakly: "Sir, I am actually better than a dog."
Zhao Chen was delighted: ¡°Have all the other Tubo people been killed?¡±
"We're all chasing each other separately. We should have results soon."
Soon, the rest of the Tang cavalry also came back, all carrying the heads of the Tubo people.
Zhao Chen was a little surprised: "Okay, Lao Li, servants like you are very good at it."
Li Shimin was a little proud: "That's natural."
"Okay, let's go back, the crisis is over."
All the way back, Cheng Yaojin got on another horse and walked side by side with Li Shimin and Zhao Chen.
"Sir, what kind of crossbow was the crossbow you had before? Why can it shoot so far, a full two hundred steps?"
Cheng Yaojin was curious for a while.
He saw with his own eyes that Zhao Chen directly killed the opponent with a crossbow from a distance of more than two hundred steps. This was really unbelievable.
Crossbows are very powerful, but basically their range is very short. Crossbows are not like bows. Generally speaking, the range of crossbows is within a hundred steps. A crossbow like Zhao Chen that can reach more than two hundred steps has never been seen before. Saw it.
"The Divine Arm Crossbow, I improved it myself."
Li Shimin was also surprised. He took out the divine arm crossbow that Zhao Chen had thrown to him before, as if he was looking at a treasure.
If this thing is given to craftsmen, it may be mass-produced.
And those three crossbows, Li Shimin was so impressed that they could shoot directly from the city wall into the woods so far away!
Cheng Yaojin asked again: "And Mr. Zhao, where is your horse? What's the difference between your horse?"
Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen again, is there something special about Mr. Zhao's horse?
This is impossible, right?
"You mean my horse can walk on smooth ground on rocks, right?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly: "That's right. In the rocky terrain just now, the horse can't speed up at all. Once it speeds up, it will easily break its legs. But your horse, sir, did nothing at all. On the contrary, And he can run so fast.¡±
This is what Cheng Yaojin is curious about.
Li Shimin on the side was also surprised: "Sir, can your horse run so fast on the rocks?"
"Nonsense, I told you before, don't ride your own horse, you must ride the horse in the pass."
"What's the difference?"
Zhao Chen said: "Of course there is a difference. My horse is shoed, but your horse is not shoed."
"Horseshoes? What is that?"
Li Shimin was curious for a while.
Zhao Chen said proudly: "Old Li, don't you know this? These horseshoes are actually equivalent to human shoes. Think about it, horses run on the ground just like us humans, right?"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"Then are these horseshoes particularly important?"
"That's natural."
Li Shimin knew clearly that horses were too important to cavalry. One of the big limiting factors was the hoofs. After running for a long time, the horses' hoofs would rot and it would take a while to recover. Therefore, a cavalryman, Often several horses are needed so that they can be used in turns.
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Horses are very afraid of the kind of stabbing or the rocky terrain just now, so what if we put shoes on the horses?"
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Then he¡¯s just like a human being, not afraid of these terrains at all.¡±
"Yes, horseshoes have such a function. With horseshoes, horses are like wearing shoes, and they are basically not afraid of rocks and various terrains. Let me use another analogy, it's like Lao Hei put on shoes, and when the broken ones If you step on the porcelain tiles, nothing will happen at all.¡±
Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin were shocked. Li Shimin suddenly got off his horse and came to Zhao Chen's horse.
"Lao Li, what do you want to do?"
¡°Sir, show me the horse¡¯s hoof.¡±Zhao Chen rolled his eyes, and Li Shimin excitedly lifted the hind hooves of Zhao Chen's horse. When he lifted it up, he saw, as expected, Zhao Chen's horse had a piece of iron on its hoof!
"What a horseshoe!"
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up, and Cheng Yaojin also got off his horse and came over to take a look.
Just by observing, Cheng Yaojin looked excited.
"Mystical thing! Mystical thing! If all the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were equipped with these horseshoes, wouldn't they be invincible in the world!"
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were not dispatched very often. If they were equipped with horseshoes, there would basically be no restrictions on the horses of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
That will really be a terrifying cavalry!
Zhao Chen was so speechless that he rolled his eyes when he saw Lao Li and the two men studying horseshoes behind his horse's butt.
"Are you leaving yet?"
"Sir, sir, I have a question."
Li Shimin raised his head.
"Say it."
"Sir, how do you get this horseshoe into the horse's hoof?"
This horseshoe fits perfectly with the horse's hoof, as if it is growing on the horse's hoof, wrapping the horse's hoof tightly, so that the horse's hoof will not rot easily.
"It's simple. You punch out the horseshoe, and then while it's hot, lift the horse's hoof directly, point it at the top, and just press the horseshoe onto the horse's hoof. Isn't that enough?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned!
He imagined the scene for a moment. It was like carving words on the prisoners during torture!
Li Shimin was also dumbfounded: "Then, doesn't this horse hurt?"
Zhao Chen was delighted: "Old Li, this part of the horse's hoof is like nails to us humans. The pain is very small and can be ignored. So if you ask the horse if it hurts, it will naturally not hurt."
Li Shimin was excited: "That's great, sir, I want this."
"Sold to the army?"
"Yes, if it can be applied to the army, the combat effectiveness of our Tang cavalry army will definitely increase!"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Okay, anyway, Lao Li, you just have to bid."
Cheng Yaojin interjected again: "And the divine arm crossbow."
Li Shimin thought about it: "There are three more bows and crossbows!"
The three-bed crossbow is a good thing. If this thing is brought to the border city, Xue Yantuo and the Tubo Turks will not dare to attack at all!
Zhao Chen said casually: "It's alright. Anyway, I'll keep this equipment idle here, but Lao Li, are you sure it can be sold to the army?"
Li Shimin vowed: "Don't worry, my business is very big. It can be said that I can do all the business in Datang."
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, all business in the Tang Dynasty is related to him. Is this reasonable?
Zhao Chen was happy: "That's okay."
Return to the pass, put the horse away, and return to the village.
After returning to the village, Zhao Chen directly drew the shape of the horseshoe and handed it to Li Shimin.
"Horseshoeing is very simple. You can just find a craftsman when the time comes. Most craftsmen will understand it immediately. If you still don't understand, just go to the blacksmith Wang in the village."
Li Shimin carefully put away the drawings of horseshoes. It is indeed not difficult to make horseshoes. What is difficult is this way of thinking. Putting shoes on horses is really amazing!
