Chen Xu called Ying Bu over and whispered a few words, then Ying Bu took the order and left. After a while, he brought more than a dozen imperial guards with more than a dozen saddles, tall horses with stirrups and horseshoes. There were also steel weapons of different sizes and shapes hanging next to each horse's saddle.

Looking at the new saddle on the horse's back, many people showed a look of confusion, and the stirrups seemed to be ignored. Most people's eyes were on the weapons hanging next to the saddle. Although these weapons were strange in style, they did not seem to be much different from the great sword and the long halberd. Therefore, after seeing them, many people turned to look at Chen Xu.

Even Qin Shihuang's face was a little serious.

"Your Majesty, the new weapon I am talking about is not a pure weapon, but a complete set of improved equipment on the body of a war horse. It is false to hear it, but it is true that you can practice it for Your Majesty and you all first, and then I will explain it to Your Majesty!" Chen Xu said with a relaxed expression.

"Accurate~" Qin Shihuang nodded.

"Ying Bu, arrange people to get on the horse and verify the power of the battle one by one!" Chen Xu issued an order.

"Yes, Marquis~" Ying Bu bowed his hand and waved his hand. Several soldiers who had been familiar with and practiced for several days checked and sorted out the saddle and belt, and then stepped on the iron stirrup and turned over the horse.

"Huh~" The onlookers suddenly let out a few surprises and doubts. Most of the hundreds of imperial guards around them showed incredible expressions on their faces.

Civil servants usually go out to ride a car and do not ride a horse, so they don’t understand the importance of stirrups. However, people who ride horses in daily life can see the difference in an instant, because when the stirrup is stepped on, the saddle on the horse’s back is not moving at all. It can be seen that the stirrup is not just as simple as getting on and off the horse and leveraging the force. Moreover, sharp-eyed people have discovered that there is a stirrup on both sides of these war horses that can be used to step on, because the several imperial guards after getting on the horse are stepping on the stirrups with their feet.

"Big sword practice, come out!" With Ying Bu's order, a tall and burly soldier knocked his legs against the horse's belly. Under the stimulation of the blunt prick of the stirrup, the war horse neighed and rushed out. However, the imperial guard sitting on the horse's back did not pull the reins, but exerted force to let his buttocks leave the stirrup. His body lowered slightly and took off the big sword with both hands. A distance of dozens of meters arrived in an instant. Looking at the straw man getting closer and closer, the imperial guard suddenly waved the big sword with both hands.

"Slay~" With a loud shout, the big knife swung around and drew a black light in the air. With a squirting sound, a piece of grass man with a thickness of his waist rose into the air and scattered in the air.

In order to adapt to this kind of horse battle, the distance and position between these straw men were adjusted, not completely lined up, but were arranged in a messy manner, with each straw man being about ten feet apart, so that there is plenty of time to adjust the weapons during drilling, which is also to better demonstrate the power of new weapons.

"Cut~"

"Puchi~" As the knife was put away, another scarecrow was cut off.

"Cut~Cut~Cut~Cut~"

Accompanied by the imperial guards' roars one after another, the sword in his hand was dancing with a whirring wind. The war horse rushed left and right among the scarecrows, and soon rushed out of the scarecrow's position. The horse's hooves splattered a stream of sand and dust, and behind the war horses there were also a piece of scarecrow that had fallen from the air, and kept slamming on the ground.

"It's indeed extremely powerful!" A general exclaimed in surprise and fiery surprise.

With the sound of horse hooves, the imperial guards who were practicing carried a big knife in one hand, grabbed the reins with one hand, turned the horse's head and ran back. They stopped about ten feet away from Qin Shihuang, hung up the big knife and clasped their fists and yelled: "The big knife drill has been completed, please return to the team!"

"Return to the team!" Ying Bu shouted loudly, and the imperial guards who were practicing pulled the reins and slowly retreated to their position just now.

"Perpendicular target!" Ying Bu shouted again, and more than a dozen helpers rushed into the drill position with the scarecrow, inserted the scarecrow in their hands into the ground, and took away the cut-off scarecrow at the same time.

"Long spear practice, come out!" Ying Bu issued another order. An imperial guard of the same burly body rushed out with a horse's belly. At the same time, he took off his spear and rushed into the straw man's position. The spear in his hand was thrust left and right. With the sound of shouting and thumping sounds, scarecrows were exposed and flew away. In just four or five minutes, more than ten scarecrows fell all over the ground.

"The Saber Team Out~"

After the straw man's position was set up again, Ying Bu gave the order, three horses galloped out. Three imperial guards on the horse's back pulled out slender curved sabers, one by one, waving the sabers in their hands. After accumulating enough strength, the sabers flashed with black lights across the straw man. With the sound of slapping, the straw man was cut open one by one. Although it was not cut off, another sabers were slashed up immediately. Three war horses rushed left and right in the straw man's position, leaving behind a shattered straw man, half of which were cut off.

"Meteor Hammer drill, come out!"

"The big axe drill, come out!"

With the orders of Ying Bu, the imperial guards used different weapons to participate in the drill.

As the drill progressed, not only Qin Shihuang's face became more and more serious, but even civil officials who did not understand horse war were excited, let alone military generals, all of them were so excited that they wanted to pull the imperial guards out of the horse's back and practice it themselves.

Half an hour later, the drill was completed, and more than a dozen imperial guards dismounted and lined up in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, this is the new horse war weapon developed by me. These big swords, sabers, spears and other weapons are made of steel. They are not only sharp and wear-resistant than copper weapons, but also tough and brittle. More importantly, they are much cheaper than copper weapons. Once steel can be smelted on a large scale, not only weapons, but also equipment such as agricultural tools and carriages can be used in large quantities, but in fact, the most important thing is not weapons, but the stirrups and saddles on the body of the war horse. With this fixed saddle, the soldiers sitting on them will not lose control of their bodies due to the bumps of the war horse. In addition, stirrups can leverage both feet when attacking, so that the strength of the legs, waist, back and arms can be perfectly exerted. This big sword weighs fifty kilograms, but it is not very laborious to wield the soldiers. They can play the effect of chopping melons and vegetables on the battlefield!"

"Come here, let's verify the sharpness and hardness of the steel weapon for His Majesty!" Chen Xu shouted after saying that.

"Here~" An imperial guard who participated in the drill pulled out his slender saber.

"Your Majesty, let one of your guards hold a big sword and you will know!"

"Your Majesty, let me do it!" A general who accompanied him walked out of the crowd, took the bronze sword from the hand of an imperial guard and strode to the open space.

The general was in his thirties, with a burly and handsome face, wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe. He should also be a marquis and general, but Chen Xu didn't know him because he basically didn't know all the civil and military officials in Xianyang at present.

"Accurate, auditioned by Didao Hou!"

Li Xin! Chen Xu was slightly stunned. There were not many marquises in the Qin Dynasty, most of which were military positions. Therefore, he still heard about several marquises in Xianyang who were on par with him. This marquis Di Dao was the great general Li Xin, the ancestor of the famous Han general Li Guang. He had outstanding military achievements and participated in the battle to destroy Zhao, Yan, Chu, and Qi. Although the battle to destroy Chu failed, it was still valued by Qin Shihuang. He was considered a relatively powerful figure among the younger generals of the Qin Dynasty today. Li Xin's marquis was not conferred by Qin Shihuang, but was attacked by his father Li Yao. Li Yao was once the prefect of Nanjun, but had died of illness.

"Come on, let's fight me!" Li Xin held the sword casually with both hands and posed in a defensive posture.

"General Li is careful. The sword is extremely sharp and the bronze sword may break!" Obviously, the imperial guards who participated in the drill also knew Li Xin. After bowing, he raised his saber. Although the sword was a one-handed weapon, he still held the hilt with both hands, and his expression became very serious.

"It's okay, just use force!" Didao Hou shook his head without caring.

"Offend!" The imperial guard roared and waved his sabre and slashed hard. Although Li Xin looked relaxed, he did not dare to be careless at the moment when the sabre was activated. The bronze sword in his hand drew a golden horse and greeted him.

"Dang~" Accompanied by a sound of gold and iron shaking the eardrums, the bronze sword in Li Xin's hand was broken into two pieces, and the tip of the sword swirled and flew out in the air.

"Be careful~" the countless people watching exclaimed.

Li Xin did not expect that the bronze sword in his hand was really vulnerable, but after all, he was a general with high martial arts value. Without any hesitation, he shrank his head and hid and moved his body half a foot away.

"Hu~" A cold black light piercing the skin whizzed past his cheeks, a bun of beards fell in the wind, and a strand of hair was cut open.

"Puuu~" The imperial guards who were practicing were so scared that their faces were pale and knelt on one knee on the ground, "Please forgive me for your crime!"

Li Xin, who had a scattered hair and had a bunch of beards, looked at the flying hair and hair, and reached out to touch his cheek in horror, and found that he was not injured. Then he looked at the bronze sword that was only half in his hand with fear, and suddenly the cold sweat of beans on his forehead rolled down.

"It's okay, let me see this knife!"

After a brief loss of consciousness, Li Xin dropped half of the sword in his hand, reached out to take the sword from the imperial guards' hand and looked carefully. He found that the sharp blade was only missing a gap the size of a bean grain. He reached out and touched the blade and found that there was no crack on the blade, only some patterns left by forging. The blade was extremely sharp like a black line flashing with a black light, which made people feel heart-pounding.

Li Xin held the saber in both hands and said to Qin Shihuang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this knife is indeed extremely sharp, several times harder and stronger than the bronze sword. If it can be equipped in the army, it will be a good chance of winning if it is conquered the Baiyue Huns!"
