It was getting late, and the three pieces of equipment, the saddle, stirrups and horseshoes, were completed.

The saddle is made of wood. The blacksmiths heated the boards with fire and bent them into the shape of a saddle. The high bridges at both ends were made of sawn boards and embedded in a tenon structure.

After just one glance, Li Mengxi felt that a wooden saddle was not as easy to produce as a cast iron saddle. The heat treatment of the wood and the tenon structure were time-consuming and labor-intensive.

There are three types of stirrups, one is an ordinary iron ring, the other is a flat iron piece of the stirrup, and the other is a large iron box that the feet can be put in, but it does not go past the ankle to the height of the calf.

In Li Mengxi's memory, it seems that with the emergence of stirrups, the technique of hiding in the stirrups has become a common skill. If there were no double stirrups, to hide in each other's stirrups, one would have to wear a heavy armor and roll under the horse's belly to hold the horse with both hands.

The neck and legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, and it took amazing waist and leg strength to prevent it from falling.

But with the stirrups, the feet are put in the stirrups. When hiding in the pocket, the feet are put in the stirrups. There is no need to use the legs to clamp the horse's belly, and there is no need to hold the horse's neck with both hands. From now on, the hands can be used at any time.

With a volley of arrows hidden in his pocket and a barrage of arrows at his side, his horse-riding combat skills have become much richer since then.

Because of the skill of hiding in the pedals, Li Mengxi deduced from it and thought that the horse pedals should have a style that is easy to attach to the feet like iron shoes. Such large iron pedals must be stable when hiding in the pedals.

Not only is it safe at this time, but after the cavalryman is shot dead and dismounted, his feet will be in the stirrups and will be dragged by the horse all the way without falling off.

On the good side, the big iron pedals make it much less likely that the horse will fall off. On the bad side, when the horse has an accident, it is not easy to take out the pedals and it is easy to be dragged to death.

However, we must consider the difference between advantages and disadvantages. It is important to have stable stirrups to reduce the risk of falling off the horse. On the contrary, the risk of death due to failure to remove the stirrups in times of crisis is irrelevant.

Because it is already very dangerous to abandon your horse and vault. Even if you can easily remove your feet from the stirrups without being pinned by the stirrups, the possibility of falling to death and being crippled after the jump is still very high.

.

The danger is not the stirrup, the danger is the critical state.

The high bridge wooden saddle, three types of iron pedals, and three parts of the horseshoe were fine. The saddle and the stirrups were no big problem, but the horseshoe embarrassed Li Mengxi.

When Li Mengxi handed over the horseshoe pattern to the blacksmiths, he said something extravagantly that he wanted to make an iron shoe to wrap the horseshoe to reduce wear and tear. His original intention was to reveal the principles of horseshoes and inspire the craftsmen. After all, horseshoes are

In fact, Li Mengxi only knew the detailed structure. He did not know how to install and nail the horseshoes, so he needed craftsmen to study it carefully.

The result is that when it comes to making iron shoes, the blacksmiths actually made small and exquisite iron shoes. They were very well made and even put them on war horses.

However, Li Mengxi took a look at several small hoof-shaped horseshoes. He felt that with such shoes, the horse's feet would definitely be cut.

The so-called horseshoes mean that iron shoes are not suitable. To be precise, they are iron horseshoes.

Apart from the problem with the shoe, the other two pieces of harness can be used equally well.

The saddle was bare and difficult to fix. Li Mengxi didn't know how to fix the real saddle. He simply put the saddle on the horse's back, and then took the rope and wrapped it around and around the horse's belly.

Tie the saddle firmly.

Thread two ropes through the stirrups, one on the horse's back, one on the left and one on the right, and adjust the length.

After hastily arranging the equipment, Li Mengxi asked Guan and Zhang who wanted to try pedaling.

Guan Yu got on the horse first.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, which was perfect for hiding and keeping secrets.

A group of people went outside the North City and arranged a circle of torches in the sky for lighting.

Li Mengxi first asked Guan Yu to get used to it by pedaling on his horse. After Guan Yu had done two laps, Li Mengxi shouted to Guan Yu from a distance and asked Guan Yu to come over.

When they arrived, Li Mengxi pointed out, "General Guan, you might as well stand up and try."

Guan Yu lowered his head and looked at the pedals under his feet. They were big iron pedals, and when his feet stepped in, it was like wearing a big iron shoe, all the way up to his calves.

Guan Yu thought for a while and realized that the pedal was stable and it would be no problem to stand up.

Then, Guan Yu continued to ride his horse.

Not long after Guan Yu left the horse, Li Mengxi saw Guan Yu stand up from his horse. Maybe he was a little unfamiliar. After standing up, Guan Yu looked like he wanted to fall back. Guan Yu maybe was a little scared, so he quickly sat down again.

After a while, Li Mengxi saw that Guan Yu stood up from the horse again, and began to have the courage to urge the horse faster and faster.

Zhang Fei was also jumping on his horse to warm up, but when Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu standing up and galloping for some reason, standing firmly with his heels on the horse, Zhang Fei was greatly shocked. Zhang Fei's horse stopped jumping and stretched its neck to look.

With.

Guan Yu's riding skills were indeed superb. Li Mengxi saw Guan Yu slipping around a few times and dared to stand and gallop.

Li Mengxi shouted to Guan Yu again, and Guan Yu roared over.

Li Mengxi thought of Guan Yu's new skill in cavalry warfare, "Since you can stand up immediately, you might as well try it, general, to see what magical effect it will have if you stand and slash with a sword."

Guan Yu followed the suggestion and went over to pull out the Qinglong Yanyue, and then found a target to test it.

Before the Pegasus galloped to the target, Guan Yu stood upright with his long sword high. Since his waist and leg strength were freed, he no longer had to spend any effort to control the horse.

The foul-mouthed wooden stake was split in half from top to bottom and split into two pieces from bottom to bottom.

This strike was a strike that was difficult to achieve. Because he immediately stood up straight, his hand was higher, and the sword was also higher. The force of the sword slashing down from the top was a few points heavier.

Guan Yu stopped his horse and walked around the target twice, looking at the stake that had been struck with one strike. Guan Yu was extremely satisfied with the power and accuracy of the strike.

After a while, seeing Guan and Zhang almost warming up, Li Mengxi suggested that they change wooden poles and start a duel immediately.

Before the war started, Li Mengxi whispered to Guan Yu Didi Gugu for a while, and Guan Yu nodded secretly.

After that, the two horses separated, Zhang Fei took a long stick and sat on a horse with a single saddle, and Guan Yu also took a long stick and rode on a high saddle and iron horse.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two horses clashed and fought into the torch. Because they were using wooden sticks, which were close to guns rather than swords, Zhang Fei had the technical advantage. Zhang Fei held the stick against Guan Yu.

After poking, Guan Yu held the stick with both hands and slammed it hard towards the long stick. There was a sound and Zhang Fei's long stick flew up.

The two horses crossed each other. Zhang Fei drew his stick and turned around to stab back. The spear came back and stabbed back. Zhang Fei turned around and looked, where is the person?

Guan Yu had already hugged the horse's neck, put his feet in the stirrups and hid them to the side.

This move is purely a show of skill.

With the help of the new saddle, Guan Yu found that it was much easier to hide while turning.

You know, on a one-sided saddle, because you have to clamp the horse's belly at all times and hear the arrow coming from behind, the only actions you can take are to immediately crawl forward or turn slightly to the side to avoid the arrow, that is, to avoid the arrow.

The movement should not be too big.

But on the new stirrup, one can easily roll to the other side with a rolling posture, and then roll up easily with another rolling posture. In this way, the possibility of dodging arrows is increased by several percent.

After that, Guan and Zhang competed for several rounds, and finally in the middle of the field, the two horses started to fight like a horse.

In the last move, Guan Yu used an iron bridge that was rarely possible in an ordinary horse fight to dodge Zhang Fei's stab. After hitting Zhang Fei's long stick with his backhand, he hooked the saddle with his feet and exerted all his strength on his waist.

Once you twist it, it will pop up.

Standing up straight, Guan Yu raised the long stick in his hand and was about to bring it down. "Second brother, be careful!" Guan Yu warned.

After saying this, there was a whine and the long stick was knocked down.

Zhang Fei's reaction was quick, and he immediately raised the stick in his hand to block. The sticks collided with each other, and the corners of the two sticks touched each other.

During the wrestling process, Guan Yu pressed the stick down hard, and Zhang Fei raised the stick hard. The more they used, the stronger they became. Normally, their strength was about the same, but at this time, Guan Yu couldn't press Zhang Fei.

, simply stood up, standing up straighter and taller, and finally not only stood up to press down on Zhang Fei, but also leaned half of his body to press on Zhang Fei.

Finally, Zhang Fei's exertion was awkward, and it was not as good as Guan Yushu's full exertion, which was advantageous. The wooden stick in Zhang Fei's hand was almost pressed to his shoulder.

No matter how hard Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, blushed, and exerted all his strength, Guan Yu's stick couldn't move an inch.

"Are you convinced?" Guan Yu asked with a smile.

"I don't accept it!" Zhang Fei was angry.

When Zhang Fei refused, Guan Yu threw away his stick and bullied Zhang Fei with his shoulder.

Zhang Fei was hit by this, his body swayed, and he was almost knocked off his horse.

Then Guan and Zhang started fighting with their bare hands on the horse, each trying to pull the other off the horse.

However, Guan Yu didn't have to worry about his feet, just fight with all his strength. Guan Yu was extremely slippery when dodging on horseback, and he was as agile as a monkey when he used the horse's pedals to return to his position. On the other hand, Zhang Fei's legs were tightly clamped on the horse, and he had no way to move his feet.

With the help of force, not to mention, Zhang Fei couldn't do the action of leaning back or pushing forward. Because of this, he would definitely be out of balance.

After fighting each other for a while, Zhang Fei was finally no match for Guan Yu, who had changed his divine weapon. Guan Yu saw a gap and grabbed Zhang Fei's hands and yanked hard. With the force of the tug, Guan Yu's body fell to one side, and then

He pulled Zhang Fei over like he was pulling onions on dry land.

Unprepared, Zhang Fei was caught alive.

Before Zhang Fei could struggle, Guan Yu took the belt around Zhang Fei's waist, laughed loudly, picked up Zhang Fei and ran away.

Being carried like a bastard, Zhang Fei was extremely embarrassed and couldn't get out no matter how hard he struggled.

"Put me down! Put me down quickly!" Zhang Fei screamed angrily.

Arriving in front of Li Mengxi, Guan Yu put down the captured Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei landed on the ground and immediately got up in a panic. He blew his beard and glared at Guan Yu angrily with his face turning green and red.

Zhang Fei was furious.

Li Mengxi was so happy that Guan Yu was so naughty. Li Mengxi remembered that he also liked to grab his younger brother Xiao Bian and push him to the ground to prevent him from moving, so he would bully him and would not let him move even if he begged for mercy. Haha.

A new saddle and pedals are enough to usher in a new era of riding combat, which is very sharp.
