Chapter 355 New Cavalry Equipment
"I am from the Long Shuai Mansion. General Long asked me to send some things to the mage."
As he said that, the man handed a box to Mojie.
I heard that it was from Long Chen's mansion, so Mojie hurriedly answered.
"Goodbye."
The man turned around and left. Mojie immediately closed the door, placed the box on the table, and then quickly opened it. There were more than a dozen booklets inside.
Mo Jie's heart trembled and quickly picked up a booklet with the "Lingyun Sutra" written on it, and the other sutras below were other sutras.
Mojie sat down cross-legged, quickly opened the scriptures, and studied them hungrily...
"All dust and all illusory forms are born and destroyed everywhere, and the illusory forms are called appearances, and their nature is truly wonderful and enlightened."
These scriptures are completely different from the Buddhist teachings mentioned by Monk Kongji. Monk Kongji advocates that taking refuge in Buddha is the only Buddha, and that only people in the world can take refuge in Zhaoti Temple be the only liberation. Long Chen's scriptures encourage people to understand their minds and nature, transcend the world, and not fall into the world.
Mojie was completely immersed in the exquisite Buddhist teachings, and time and space disappeared, and even himself did not exist.
....
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng walked into the imperial study room and worshiped: "Sage, Puxuan and Hong Zhi led the monks to preach Buddhism everywhere, which has bewitched many people."
The queen frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Mojie?"
Ying Feng replied: "Long Chen gave him a box of scriptures. He didn't leave for a while and hid in the room and peeked."
The empress's smile gradually stretched out and she said with a smile: "It seems that Long Chen's plan has worked, it's wonderful..."
If Long Chen's trick fails, Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi bewitch the people again, the empress will lose.
Now Mojie has been shaken and things are obvious.
"What is Long Chen doing?"
The Empress asked Yingfeng.
"It seems that he went to the Nandaying to train troops. He said that the instigation of Mojie would definitely anger Monk Kongji. At that time, Xixia would definitely send Jing Tianlie to the northern border to cause trouble."
The empress looked at Yingfeng and asked, "Have you gone to find him?"
Yingfeng's face froze and she said hurriedly: "I have seen it once."
In fact, Yingfeng secretly went to Long Shuai Mansion and slept on Long Chen's bed... Well, she just slept for a while and rested seriously.
The empress nodded slightly and didn't ask anything more.
....
Nandaying.
Zhang Qian is commanding the cavalry to put new horse harnesses on the war horse.
The cavalry picked up a tall wooden saddle and placed it on the horse's back. While installing it, they muttered: "I have been a cavalry for more than ten years and have never seen such a strange thing."
Gongsun Linglong was standing next to her. She was two heads taller than Zhang Qian and was very tall. She was a typical big girl.
"Hurry up quickly, there are only 30,000 pairs. If we can't get it out, we don't have enough materials."
Long Chen originally wanted to make 100,000 pairs of Linglong Pavilion, but the materials consumed too much and Linglong Pavilion did not have enough manpower, so he only made 30,000 pairs of them.
"This speed is already very fast. Let's use 30,000 pairs for the time being. We will make it when the materials arrive."
The cavalry installed new horse harnesses for ten horses.
The tall wooden saddle has a pile head, a front saddle bridge, a back saddle bridge, and an iron stirrup.
Dugu Jiali looked at the newly made Takahashi stirrup and said, "It's really different. It turns out that the soft saddle has been used for a long time, and I feel quite comfortable."
In this world, stirrups have been available for a long time, but they use soft stirrups, especially the northern barbarians. They lack iron tools and prefer to use animal skins. This habit has also affected the cavalry in the Central Plains.
As for the saddle, it is a cushion placed on the horse's back and two straps tied to the horse's belly.
"Just try it out."
This high bridge saddle is designed by Long Chen, which is conducive to stabilizing the cavalry, especially when charging, which can reduce the impact force and prevent falling.
Zhang Qian ordered twenty old cavalrymen, ten people used the high bridge saddle, and ten people used the old soft saddle.
The old cavalry looked at Takahashi's saddle and said embarrassedly: "General, it's hard to climb up this saddle."
The saddle on both sides of the high bridge is higher, so it is not as convenient as a soft saddle when climbing up.
Long Chen said, "Just step on the stirrups."
The old cavalry carefully stepped on the iron stirrup, then held the stake head and turned over and climbed up.
"Hey? It's quite stable."
Iron stirrups can give your feet a solid feeling and will not be as unstable as soft stirrups.
"Switch to the soft spear head."
Zhang Qian asked the cavalry to each of them to use a long spear wrapped in cloth and then spread out to the battle.
"start!"
Zhang Qian ordered ten cavalry to charge.
The war horses ran, and the lancers began to charge, with their spears clamped under their armpits, aiming at the oncoming cavalry.
Bang...
After being hit, the cavalry riding on the saddle of the Takahashi horse was somewhat held back and did not fall off the horse. Instead, the cavalry on the opposite side was knocked down.
And all the cavalry who were stabbed in the soft saddle were dismissed.
"This thing is good, it's stable under your butt."
The old cavalry could tell the power of Takahashi's saddle when they tried it.
Zhang Qian said in surprise: "It's so good? I'll give it a try!"
Zhang Qian climbed onto the saddle of the high bridge, holding a spear in her hand, galloping back and forth in the school ground, feeling as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhang Qian tried to loosen the reins of the horse and found that she could stabilize her body with the saddle and stirrup alone.
"Great! I can use weapons with both hands."
If you can sit firmly on your butt, your hands will be freed.
In the past, in order to prevent falling off a horse, I had to pull the reins with one hand, which greatly reduced my combat effectiveness.
"You can try the archers again."
Long Chen smiled.
Zhang Qian ordered ten archers and rode on the high bridge saddle. The archers could easily ride and shoot without worrying about being unable to sit steadily.
Whoosh...
The feather arrow flew out and the hit rate was greatly improved.
"General, this kind of saddle is so wonderful that we feel like walking on flat ground."
The archers felt so wonderful.
"This kind of high-bridge saddle can make the cavalry more stable, and the combat effectiveness can be improved whether it is a lancer or a archer."
"The barbarians have been riding horses and shooting archery since childhood. No matter how we train, we cannot compare to them. Only by surpassing them in equipment can we defeat them."
The northern barbarians have been riding horses, shooting archery and hunting since childhood. The people of the Central Plains have been farming since childhood. All barbarians can become soldiers. The people of the Central Plains must undergo military training to fight, and their combat power is completely different.
Therefore, Long Chen started with equipment and let the equipment surpass the barbarians.
"Why are you so smart? I made so many harnesses, why didn't I expect it?"
Gongsun Linglong hugged Long Chen's shoulders, only a little shorter than Long Chen.
Bai Tingting felt a little jealous when she saw Gongsun Linglong's intimate look.
"Because I'm handsome, my IQ is proportional to my appearance."
Long Chen said very seriously.
Gongsun Linglong nodded and said, "Yes, you are indeed handsome and smart, but you are a eunuch, what's the use?"
puff...
Long Chen was almost vomiting blood after being said.
"Can you not be so straightforward? You should speak tactfully!"
Such a straight beauty is so angry.
Gongsun Linglong laughed and said, "I'm telling the truth, but I'm not wrong."
Long Chen didn't want to talk to her.
....
Fengming Palace.
Mojie, Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi walked into the main hall. The empress sat on the top, Long Chen led a group of military generals, and Di Yu led a group of civil officials to stand together.
"I've seen the Lord!"
Mojie glanced at Long Chen and saluted respectfully to the empress.
Everyone was surprised. Why did this Mojie become so humble? Are you afraid of being beaten by Long Chen?
