Chapter 92 What is the name
"Tait!"
In the vast military camp, flags fluttered and war horses galloped.
Zhao Jia was wearing armor and led his cavalry to gallop on the school ground. The cavalry fired their bows from left to right, and almost every arrow could hit the bull's eye, with amazing accuracy.
"Well!"
After another round of cavalry and shooting training, Zhao Jia tied the reins and the cavalry following him stopped at this time.
"Young Master, since the stirrups and saddles, the cavalry's endurance has increased greatly, and both archery and charge have been much easier than before."
Sima Shang wiped off the sweat from his face, and his eyes showed excitement.
Two years ago, Zhao Jia had designed stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, and ordered people to secretly create them.
However, the structure of these three things is not complicated and can easily be imitated by other countries.
If we only talk about the cavalry's combat capabilities, the State of Zhao, after Hu's cavalry shooting, was naturally the best of other countries, and even the powerful and good at fighting Qin army could not compete with the elite cavalry of Zhao.
If Qin State got the stirrup, saddle, and horseshoe models, it would be able to quickly form its own cavalry, which would be very unfavorable to Zhao State.
This is why Zhao Jia has never created these three treasures for so many years since he came to this era.
But now, Zhao Jia has a strong sense of crisis. If he continues to hide these things, he may not be able to overcome the difficulties that follow.
Zhao Jia thought for a long time and finally decided to let these three things appear on the stage of history.
As expected, the appearance of stirrups and saddles made the Zhao cavalry, who were already good at riding and shooting, become more powerful and have more continuous attack capabilities.
Before this, although Zhao people were good at riding and shooting, because there were no stirrups and saddles, they often needed to use their legs to clamp the abdomen. Over time, the flesh on the inner side of the legs would easily get worn out.
If you are not careful, the knight may fall from the war horse.
Even if the Knight is in good condition, the impact force is still insufficient when charging without stirrups.
The war horses did not wear horseshoes, and during the charge on complex terrain, the horseshoes were easily sprained, which greatly restricted the cavalry's terrain adaptability.
The emergence of horseshoes can allow cavalry to adapt to many types of terrain. During the charge, horseshoes are no longer so easy to be injured, and can allow cavalry to have more lasting raid ability.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, the 20,000 fully armed cavalry under Zhao Jia's command was the first elite cavalry in the true sense in Chinese history.
"The emergence of stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes will inevitably change the way countries will fight in the future."
Zhao Jia suddenly became a little excited when he looked at the arrow shot on the target.
In this era, no one understands better than Zhao Jia how terrible it is to have a cavalry that has the Sanbao of Ma.
Many times, 20,000 elite cavalry may even influence the outcome of a large war.
The use of cavalry tactics during the Mongol Yuan period pushed cavalry to the peak of the era of cold weapons and the army.
"I will use these 20,000 cavalry to write history!"
Zhao Jia looked up at the sky, looked at the dazzling sun, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little.
"Young Master, Mr. Fan is back!"
At this moment, the border town suddenly rode a horse with a look of surprise on its face.
"Has Tujun City been built?"
Zhao Jia was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly asked.
The border town hurriedly replied: "With the young master's support, Mr. Fan recruited a large amount of manpower and material resources. After half a year of construction, he finally built the Tujun City like a copper wall."
"Even if Qin sends 200,000 troops, it will not be easy to capture the Tu Army City!"
The Tujun City is located between Zhongyang, the capital and the middle of Urako.
At that location, there is a mountain with an altitude of up to 1,600 meters, called Tongtian Mountain.
The Tujun City is a natural and steep fortress built based on the terrain of Tongtian Mountain. It can be regarded as a one-man who can pass by thousands of people.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tongtian Mountain belonged to the junction of Bingzhou and Sili, and was the gateway to the north of Guanzhong, and its strategic position was extremely important.
Zhao Jia spent half a year, spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally let the fortress be released in advance.
"Where is Zhao Bian!"
After being delighted, Zhao Jia suddenly shouted sternly.
Zhao Bin hurried forward and replied, "The last one is here!"
Zhao Jia stared at Zhao Bian with a very serious expression and shouted: "I give you two thousand strong people. According to the terrain of Tongtian Mountain, if the Qin army invades in the future, can you defend the Tu army fortress?"
Zhao Bing held his head up and shouted, "If you can't hold on, come and see you!"
Zhao Jia shouted, "I don't want your head, as long as you can defend the local army!"
"The last general swears to defend the local army to the death!"
"Then, you recruit two thousand elite troops from the barracks and rush to Turkish military city in advance, and then you will be stationed there from now on."
"If you can stop the invading Qin army, you will definitely have a lot of contributions!"
"Jinno!"
After watching Zhao Bian leave, Zhao Jia breathed a little relieved.
Since he obtained the land of Shenqi as his fief, Zhao Jia has been unable to sleep day and night, and is always worried about the invasion of the Qin army.
Now that the Turkish Army Fortress has been built, the southern part of Shenqi can be protected without any worries, Zhao Jia is a little relaxed.
"Sir, has the construction of Pingzhou not finished yet?"
Li Si hurried forward and replied: "Although Captain Sumo also strengthened the Pingzhou city wall, the supply of money and grain and manpower was insufficient, resulting in the slow progress of Pingzhou fortress and has not been completed yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
Over the years, Zhao Jia has made money by using Tianxianglou and paper.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jia also spent a lot of money.
He raised many craftsmen and disciples, researching various things, buying food and grass, building weapons, armor, stirrups, horseshoes, and even supporting his troops, and all kinds of expenses were very high.
Especially the construction of the Turkish Army fortress consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
In just half a year, all the wealth Zhao Jia accumulated over the years was consumed.
It was not until this time that Zhao Jia felt that he was in short supply.
"Shenqi's land is still under construction. Whether to appease the people or for long-term development, it is necessary to have a process. If you want to be self-sufficient through the fief, you may have to wait until two or three years later."
Zhao Jia frowned and thought hard, but no longer had the intention to stay in the schoolyard. He ordered Sima Shang to train the army on his own, but he returned home.
"Mr. Lang, you are back."
As soon as Zhao Jia entered the door, he saw Yu Zhu holding Mi Fu with a big belly. The sad face instantly dissipated, and there was a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.
At the beginning, Zhao Jia spared no effort to pursue Mi Fu, which was indeed very purposeful.
After the two really became husband and wife, Zhao Jia began to gradually forget her original intention and instead began to be very loving with Mi Fu.
Mi Fu, who used to be willful and fantasy, has become more and more sensible at this time, and has no minor problems at all.
"Fu'er."
Zhao Jia called out a lightly, stepped forward to support Mi Fu, and the two of them sat on the big bluestone with each other.
"Langjun, what's the name of our child when you say it's better to be born in the future?"
Mi Fu gently stroked her abdomen, looking at Zhao Jia, who was much tanned, with a motherly brilliance on her face.
