Could it be that this is a blueprint-type treasure?
Cao Ang untied the first scroll with great interest, and the words and patterns on the scroll suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Um……
It looks familiar.
Without reading the words, just looking at the pictures in the center, Cao Ang recognized what this was at a glance.
Illustration of Takahashi Saddle!
Anyone who is interested in history or knows something about riding and raising horses will recognize this kind of professional horse equipment at a glance.
It is placed on the horse's back to fix the rider and ensure that the person on the horse will not be thrown off the horse due to the forward and backward bumps caused by high-speed charging.
It is particularly useful in cavalry charge operations.
After all, the main means of attack of the cavalry is to sprint. Relying on the high speed brought by the galloping war horses, they use the spears or spears in their hands to knock over the enemy and pierce the enemy's formation.
In this process, the effects of force are mutual. When the spear thrusts out, it will also receive a backward force.
It often happened that the cavalry were counterattacked by the infantry on the ground and knocked off their horses.
And this high bridge saddle has a high fence at the front and back to fix the person in the middle. Even if it is impacted, it will not be pushed down instantly.
It's a good thing.
pity!
It's of no use to Cao Ang.
Because modern cavalry are already equipped with high-bridge saddles, at most the bridge deck is not that high. At least Cao Ang's Red Rabbit horse has such a harness on its back.
…
The corners of Cao Ang's mouth twitched slightly.
Silently put the scroll aside.
I opened the other two scrolls, hoping that they would not be like the Takahashi saddle, which is a useful thing that already exists in this era.
Wait until you see the other two scrolls clearly.
Cao Ang felt relieved.
Fortunately, it's not all trash.
The other two drawings are also of harness.
One is a bilateral stirrup and the other is a horseshoe, both good things.
In the current era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the technology tree has not yet climbed up enough to illuminate these two items.
Bilateral stirrups are used to balance the left and right sides, and complement each other with the high bridge saddle. As long as you step on the stirrups with both feet, you can prevent yourself from swaying from side to side.
After being fixed in a cross shape in all directions, the cavalry's combat effectiveness will be doubled. From a single linear charge to being able to move left and right on horseback and attack back and forth, the lethality will be at least doubled.
At the same time, it is precisely because of the cooperation of bilateral stirrups and high-bridge saddles that cavalry can hope to evolve into heavy cavalry. Otherwise, the armor on the body is too heavy, and the soldiers on horseback are likely to fall off the horse from the left and right.
This thing alone is already profound.
After all, current war horses only have a single stirrup on the left side for mounting, which is small and low and cannot be used to control balance.
…
The horseshoe marked on the last drawing is to improve the durability of the war horse.
The road is not easy these days.
Except for the flat official roads built by the imperial court and local officials, the rest of the roads are mostly sandy roads, and gravel can be seen everywhere.
Especially on the battlefield, the road surface is extremely uneven. In most offensive and defensive battles, the defending side will deliberately spread iron caltrops and other things on the ground.
In this case, the horseshoe of the war horse is very easy to be injured. Even if it steps on gravel, it is likely to cause cracks, missing shoes or even overturning on the spot.
And once the horse's shoe is missing or cracked, it means that the war horse will be retired and will not be able to go to the battlefield and will have to work as a slave horse.
For areas where there are not many war horses.
The retirement of every war horse is a very heavy loss, not to mention that problems often occur one after another. It is very likely that a group of war horses has something wrong.
Excluding the main producing areas of war horses such as Bingzhou and Youzhou, other places simply cannot withstand such losses. This is also an important reason why it is difficult for cavalry in these places to form a large scale.
…
The latter two drawings are of extremely important significance to Cao Ang.
After all, the Cao family's next foundation will definitely be Yanzhou, and they will first develop around this territory.
And Yanzhou is not a war horse producing area.
The number of horse farms is sparse, and the average quality of horses cannot keep up with the high-end war horses in Youzhou and other places. Therefore, relying on quantity is not enough, and high-quality strategies must be developed.
in this case.
Cao Ang only needed to recruit a group of craftsmen to mass-produce these two kinds of horse gear.
All the cavalry regiments under his command were immediately equipped, and their combat effectiveness soared instantly. One cavalryman could serve as two or even three people.
A cavalry team with strong combat effectiveness was formed in an instant.
When facing those forces that use cavalry as their dominant force, as long as they don't know that they have such a trump card, they will definitely be in trouble.
Maybe it can become the winner of a certain battle, or an important weight that affects the balance of power between the two major forces.
Even heavy cavalry will be developed in the future, which will definitely be a top killer weapon on the battlefield.
And beyond that, horses have a long lifespan.
Maybe the enemy's cavalry has already eliminated a round of war horses, but his men are still in service.
If things go on like this, the costs and losses of both sides are not at the same level at all, and they can crush the enemy just by relying on these off-board means.
Absolutely brilliant!
…
He re-rolled the three scrolls very carefully and stuffed them back into the brocade box.
Cao Ang came to the stone monument as a habit.
He glanced at the words that appeared on the stone tablet.
"Item name: Drawings of a three-piece harness set
Function: Made according to drawings, it can effectively improve the qualities of horses and greatly improve the combat capabilities of cavalry.
Note: It is said that the three-piece harness set was rated as the least popular item because it appeared so many times that I got tired of seeing it. However, for the users inside, this is definitely the best treasure! "
Um?
The note this time is a bit interesting.
It is no longer as full of mischief as when I caught something a few times before.
On the contrary, he was describing it seriously.
Cao Ang quite agreed with what was written in the note.
Before he traveled through time and came to this era, he always felt that horseshoes, stirrups and the like were too annoying. It was always these things.
Can't we do something new?
But when he experienced these things personally, it could only be described in two words.
So delicious!
Who is who knows.
No matter how there is no new idea, it is still an extremely practical thing that can help him improve his strength more quickly and help him gain a greater advantage in the fight for world hegemony.
As long as the above conditions are met.
No matter how old he is, he always says yes!
…………
The next morning.
Cao Ang got up early.
As soon as the genius dawned, he sat up from the bed.
It wasn't because he was diligent, but if he thought about it so early, something would happen if he continued to sleep.
He didn't dare to let the Queen Mother know that he was having an affair with her nephew-in-law, at least not now.
After saying that he had gained his own territory, the relationship between the two parties became stronger and deeper. Only then did he dare to tell the whole story.
If discovered now.
Then there will be no peace in the house!
After getting dressed hastily.
Cao Ang looked at the young woman who was still curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, and a soft smile appeared on his face.
I have to say that last night was an eye-opener for him.
This is the first time I meet a woman who cries in my roommate.
Yin was timid, he knew this, and he agreed to anything as soon as he was frightened.
But I didn't expect that at that time, I would burst into tears and even sob.
It's so interesting.
That sad feeling.
Thinking about it now, Cao Ang felt that most of his body softened, and he felt like his heart was being pulled by something, making his whole body tense.
One hand was placed on the edge of the bed, the other hand pulled down the quilt slightly, and then pushed away a few strands of hair scattered on the cheek.
Looking at Yin's tender little face, which was shaped like a goose egg, it was full of tempting blushes, and the dried tears could be faintly seen at the corners of her eyes.
Cao Ang couldn't help but stretched out his right hand full of love and wiped away the tears on her face.
I didn't expect that I made a mistake.
The beginning caused by a momentary misunderstanding, and the subsequent development caused by wonderful changes, actually made me pick up such a treasure.
It really makes people pity and love them!
"Well……"
Maybe it was because Cao Ang wiped away the tears a little too hard, but Yin woke up slowly from her sleep.
Just open your eyes.
Then he saw the handsome man sleeping next to him who had a good relationship with him last night.
The face that was originally full of blush was now even more radiant, and Xiafei's cheeks were as bright as peach plums.
Silently, Ms. Yin pulled up the quilt that she had just pulled down, covering most of her face, and looked at Cao Ang shyly.
Cao Ang couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
He couldn't help but touched Yin's head, then leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"From now on, I will take care of you, mother and son, and you are not allowed to refuse any of my requests. Remember?"
To deal with a woman with this kind of personality, speaking softly and softly is of no use.
You have to use a command tone.
On the contrary, it can be deeply imprinted in my heart.
Yin lay on her back on the couch.
I can't tell whether I feel regretful or half happy and half sad.
Just because I didn't control my mouth for a moment and dared to say anything, I ended up paying for it for the rest of my life. It was really a twist of fate.
Despite what I think in my heart.
But faced with the pressure Cao Ang put on her, and the tough impression Cao Ang gave him last night.
Yin could only nod silently.
"Speak, I want to hear your own answer!"
Seeing Cao Ang frown.
Yin's heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly muttered: "I know...I know, I will remember the general's words!"
"That's good!"
Treat it like a child.
Cao Ang pinched Yin's cheek, then put on his robe and prepared to leave the room.
But not before he walked out of the room.
Yin, who had been huddled under the quilt, suddenly stuck out her head and shouted with some trepidation.
"General!"
When Cao Ang turned around.
The young woman had a look of hope on her face and said to Cao Ang with pleading eyes.
"General, don't let my aunt know what happened last night. I...I'm afraid~"
This statement was exactly what Cao Ang wanted.
He nodded to show that he understood.
Turned and left the room.
"Squeak...pop!"
As the door of the room closed tightly, Yin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, as if the natural enemy had left her side.
He leaned back against the bed and looked up at the roof.
Yin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
You must not let your aunt know about this.
With her aunt's temperament, she would not think that it was General Cao who forced her. She would probably think that it was herself, the niece-in-law, who seduced her man.
My aunt will kill me!
Yin couldn't help but shiver.
…………
After having lunch.
Cao Cao and his son waited for Chen Gong to arrange all matters, and entrusted their county magistrate's official seal and the next matters to the county magistrate as his deputy.
Then he brought his family with him.
Joined the large forces outside the city.
Set off directly to Chenliu County, the county seat of Chenliu County.
Zhongmu County is still a little far from Chenliu County, and we arrived after walking for two days and two nights.
Fortunately, everyone had a good night's rest in Zhongmu County. At the same time, they also knew that the destination was right in front of them. No matter how tired they were, they could muster up their energy now.
So when we arrived outside Chenliu County.
Everyone is in good condition.
This is the time when the sun is rising three poles high.
Although it is already the turn of summer and autumn, the first half of autumn is very hot, so many people are sweating profusely.
But my body is hot, but my heart is cool.
Because at this moment, outside Chenliu County, the prefect Zhang Miao was waiting with a group of his men.
Many people were wearing official uniforms, obviously belonging to the official staff of Chenliu County.
When I saw an enthusiastic middle-aged man in official uniform standing at the front of the welcoming team.
Cao Cao's face immediately showed an extremely excited look, and his whole body was visibly excited.
"My son, come with me quickly to visit Uncle Mengzhuo!"
After Cao Cao informed him.
The father and son immediately rode forward, dismounted together when they were about ten steps away, and walked forward quickly.
And Zhang Miao, who was originally welcoming him at the bottom of the city, also walked quickly to welcome him here.
"Mengde!"
"Meng Zhuo!"
After the two shouted with excitement in their tone, they held each other's arms and gave each other a generous hug in front of the eyes of everyone outside the city.
Cao Ang, who was standing with a smile on his face, couldn't help but nodded slightly after witnessing the friendship between the two middle-aged men at close range.
His father had a really good relationship with Zhang Miao.
Even their words are similar.
Although according to the original historical trajectory, after Cao Cao killed Bian Cang, a famous scholar in Yanzhou, representatives of local celebrities such as Chen Gong and Zhang Miao became rebellious against him, and later gave Yanzhou to Lu Bu.
But this has not happened yet.
Now Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are definitely close friends who share the same heart and have an irreversible friendship.
This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Ang did not choose Chenliu County, but set the location in Jiyin County. What he wanted was to use Zhang Miao's power.
Now it has its own existence.
In the future, we can think of different ways to deal with the issue of Yanzhou celebrities giving in. We don't need to be so reckless and kill people directly, and we can still achieve our goals.
Why should we worry about rebellion at that time?
