Chapter 110 Iron hoofs

The scout rode a fast horse and quickly left the army and rushed towards the Tubo territory.↖

After Li Su reminded Niu Jinda, although the news had not been sent back from the front, Niu Jinda seemed to have believed it for seven points. The march in the past few days has obviously been much more kind to him.

When he was marching, he called him up. The two of them rode side by side, talking about farming, trivial matters, state affairs, and everything. Li Su was originally very low-key in the central army and did not want to show any of them. Now he is forced to walk with the highest general of the entire army every day, attracting countless speculations, and Li Su became more and more worried.

Some people wanted to stay away from Niu Jinda, but were afraid that the general who looked like a brick was unhappy and the general was unhappy, so Li Su was likely to be criticized for a few military sticks.

So Li Su had to follow Niu Jinda bitterly, and now he became his record-keeping officer and followed the general honestly.

The army was not moving fast, and the cavalry camp had already left Guanzhong as the vanguard. The remaining central infantry traveled only 60 miles a day. In addition, the two armies of Hou Junji and Liu Lan drove out three days in advance and probably had already left Guanzhong. Niu Jinda's branch was the last to deport the camp.

The same thing is repeated every day, riding, eating, and riding horses, and seeing different scenery, from the desolate Loess Plateau to the shaded hills, if it is not that the march is too hard and tiring, if the food in the army is too poor, if the horse riding in the team is uneven and uneven and asymmetric... In fact, such days are quite good, with a faint ancient petty bourgeois mood.

On the tenth day of the march, Li Su rode on the horse and suddenly realized that something was wrong with the horse under her seat. She gasped a little quickly, and she let out a few painful cry from time to time, and even limped when walking.

Li Su was anxious and quickly got off the horse to check. After getting along with each other, he and the horse had developed some feelings. This horse is quite spiritual. From a Dayuan horse that was full of progress and arrogance, to a lazy horse that is now not motivated but only knows how to be lazy and sloppy. Li Su felt that it must be destined to be himself in this life.

He stopped the horse on the side of the road. Li Su looked carefully and found that other places were normal, but his left front hooves were slightly trembling. It was obvious that the pain was unbearable. He tried hard to lift its front hooves and found that the forefoot had been worn out by stones on the road, and even blood was oozing out.

Li Su touched its head with heartache. The horse seemed to feel the kindness of its owner. His big head slowly twisted over. He licked Li Su's palm, and his big black eyes looked at him pitifully, as if he was silently expressing his pain.

Li Su scratched her head and murmured to herself: "Didn't you have the habit of nailing horseshoes these days?"

Which dynasty started using horseshoes?

No matter what, Li Su only knew that his horse needed to use this, and it was very urgent. If he didn't put iron shoes on it, the good horse would be useless.

There is a logistics brigade behind the central army. There is a special military weapon brigade in the logistics, mainly for custody and repairing weapons. For example, broken siege stone chariots, broken swords and blades, etc., they will be sent to the military weapon brigade for repair. There are more than a dozen blacksmiths in it, who follow the army during the day and knock on them in the evening after camping.

The official position of the military officer finally played a role. Li Su relied on his status as an eighth-rank official and his handsome face, and shouted sweetly with "uncle" and "uncle". The supervisor of the military weapon supervisor smiled bitterly and pulled a blacksmith over, then patted his butt and continued to walk. The blacksmith had to stop by the roadside and fired the stove helplessly.

The creation of horseshoes is very simple. Four semi-circular iron sheets and several small holes are drilled in the middle to facilitate nailing nails. In less than half an hour, the creation of four horseshoes is completed.

He then brought in a few more soldiers passing by the roadside to help, and several of them worked together to fix the horse. After paying the price of being kicked by the manic horse a few times, the blacksmith finally nailed the horse's hooves into the four hooves.

"Is this... useful?" The blacksmith stared at the horse's hooves with half of his cheeks swollen.

Li Su looked at his face and felt guilty. He reached out to his mother and wanted to give him dozens of cents. He thought about it but couldn't bear it, so he took out a piece of air-dried deer meat and Niu Jinda secretly stuffed it to him. However, Li Su felt that the air-dried meat was chewed like eating wood and he never liked it. At this moment, he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

The blacksmith was very happy. This piece of meat made him feel that it was worth it to be hit by many horse hooves. Qian En Xie ran away with the deer meat. As for the horse hooves, he probably forgot it.

***************************************************************

After nailing the horseshoe, Li Su was deliberately worried and found that all the horses in the army did not nail this thing. Li Su was immediately surprised. This thing can be sold for money. Although it cannot stop piracy, it can sell this idea to the court. Is it worth a hundred stale money?

He wore two pairs of iron shoes for no reason. The horse was very uncomfortable, like a virgin who had just come out of the red light area. His walking posture was strange, and he neighed from time to time. Then he bit Li Su's sleeve with his teeth dissatisfiedly. He thrust a few times. The sleeve was bitten by it. Li Su had no choice but to turn around. The horse looked at him, his eyes were very unhappy.

Li Su had no choice but to touch its big head. I'm afraid that these shoes will not be taken off. You will have to waste them off when you take them off.

After walking for a while, the horse finally gradually got used to the new shoes, and he had no choice but to accept his fate, and walking became normal.

Li Su was very low-key and kept silent, leading the horse to follow the central army.

During the next day when the march was marching, Niu Jinda called Li Su over again, and the two rode together.

"What's wrong with you?" Niu Jinda said dissatisfied.

"Ah?" Li Su was stunned.

"Every night camping, the first thing you do is to find a place with water to take a bath. It is very stinking to marching and fighting. Look at my army, which one of them takes a bath once a day like you?"

Li Su sighed, it was a mistake to love cleanliness. Don’t you feel ashamed of walking dirty every day?

Tap tap.

After nailing the horse's hooves, the sound of the hooves sounded very special. Niu Jinda glanced at Li Su's horse in confusion, frowned, and refused to speak.

"I heard from my personal guard that you brought a lot of pieces? Mirrors, changing clothes, snacks, and some people said that you smelled the smell of wine outside your tent. Little kid, did you bring wine?"

"Ah? No, absolutely not. The lower-ranking officials get drunk when they dip in wine. I have never liked this thing..." Li Su hurriedly denied that the high-ranking wine is very effective in dealing with trauma. Although he is in the central army, the chance of being injured is very small, but it is always right to prepare for everything. Besides, the Wang brothers may also be able to explain this matter. It is very difficult to explain, and it is estimated that Niu Jinda will find it difficult to believe it, so he simply hides it from the subordinates.

Niu Jinda nodded: "Drinking is prohibited in the army. Be careful if you are discovered by me, you will definitely not be able to avoid ten military sticks..."

Tap and tap...

Niu Jinda is angry, and he is probably also a Virgo.

"What's the sound of your horse's hooves? What's so unpleasant?"

This is wrong, there is an ambiguity. Li Su must explain clearly: "The chief manager is 'my, horse, horse, hoof', not my horse'..."

"If you talk too much, do you believe it or not, I will beat you? Get off the horse! I will see what your horse's hooves are in! "

"It's my horse's hooves..." Li Su corrected it weakly again.

"Shut up! Dismount!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
