"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qinghe said in the court a few days ago that the soldiers and generals can use one to ten after equipped with improved horse harnesses and weapons. I still want to see it!" Another general wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown stood up and said.

"Well, General Zhao is right, I want to see it too!" Qin Shihuang nodded and looked at Chen Xu, "Please arrange a confrontation drill for Hou Qinghe!"

"Okay!" Chen Xu agreed and hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you have no eyes on the sword and weapon. I request to use wooden weapons to avoid unnecessary casualties!"

"It is inevitable to kill and injured on the battlefield. How to see the drill effect with wooden weapons? I think there is no need to change weapons!" Li Xin bowed and said.

Qin Shihuang was about to nod, and Chen Xu stood forward and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty, every soldier and every soldier are all my soldiers. They can die on the battlefield and at the hands of the enemy, but it is too cruel to die at the hands of his own people. I insist on using wooden weapons!"

Qin Shihuang hesitated a little and nodded: "Accurate!"

"Your Majesty asks you to send fifty guards and imperial guards to cooperate!"

“Accurate ~”

Seeing Qin Shihuang's permission, Li Xin stopped talking. Both sides retreated to Qin Shihuang's side. Under the command of the leader of the Guard, fifty cavalry were quickly sent. Ying Bu also sent five imperial guards who had just practiced. Soon, soldiers sent dozens of wooden sticks, different lengths, the short ones were equivalent to swords and the lengths were equivalent to large swords and spears. After both sides got the wooden weapons, they stood in the martial arts field at a distance of 100 meters.

"Out of the ~", the imperial guards were crowded and launched an attack first. They held wooden sticks in one hand, pulled the reins tightly with the other hand, and rushed up with their bodies against the horse's back.

"Out~", Ying Bu also shouted loudly, and the five imperial guards rushed out with their horses, but they did not pull the reins, and they danced the long stick in their hands to meet them.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves flew over and dust in the martial arts field, and the fierce sound of horse's hooves rang out like muffled thunder.

Looking at the imperial guards who were holding the horse's neck tightly and shaking with their legs swaying, and then looking at the five subordinates who were sitting on the horse's back with their feet on stirrups, Chen Xu's face was quite relaxed.

As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, but now this is not a war of the same level. Riding a motorcycle will definitely not hit an off-road vehicle, because the safety level difference is not a little bit, but ten times eight times.

"Kill~~"

It was said that it was fast, and the distance of 100 meters was just a blink of an eye for the speed of the war horses. On one side were five people, who seemed to be weak in strength, and the other half of fifty horses seemed to be brave, but at the moment when the two sides were close enough, the winner was basically divided, and everyone watching the battle had a long eye.

Accompanied by the roars one after another, five imperial guards holding long sticks exerted force together, and the long sticks in their hands whistled and swept out. The man suddenly turned up and over. The opponent who did not have the stirrups leveraged their strength, as long as his body tilted slightly and the bumps of the war horses fell one after another under the impact.

The two sides intertwined, and Chen Xu's five imperial guards pierced through the opponent's camp like five sharp swords. The figures and sticks fell to the ground behind him, and a few of them were kicked off the horse's back by their opponents. After turning around, the ending was the same, and more fell. In less than ten minutes, the confrontation drill ended because all fifty soldiers were beaten off the horse's back.

"This...this is...too much!" Li Xin, who was standing beside Chen Xu, opened his mouth wide open, his face full of dementia.

It’s not that he was so surprised, but the result of the entire battle was completely beyond his expectations. Logically speaking, even if he couldn’t win, he could at least fight. But what he saw in front of him was a completely one-sided ending. The fifty most fierce guards of the Qin Dynasty were completely vulnerable in the horse battle.

The fifty imperial guards who were all dismissed stood in line with their noses and swollen faces, and the five victorious imperial guards also returned to dismount with their faces.

"I finally know that the sharp weapon that Qinghe Hou mentioned was not a weapon, but the stirrup and saddle!" Qin Shihuang was stunned for a long time and came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty is as wise as a torch, and you can see the joints in it at a glance!" Chen Xu flattered, and then ordered an imperial guard to lift the front hoof of a war horse and said, "Your Majesty, please see, in addition to stirrups and saddles, I have also invented something called horseshoes. Nailed on the horseshoes can be used to protect the horseshoes. With this horseshoe, even the gravel desert and hard mountainous land can run freely. However, our Qin Dynasty lacks war horses. In every battle, there will be a large number of war horses becoming lame horses because of damage to their feet. The lame horse can only pull a cart to plow the land. After nailing the iron palm, the survival time of a war horse can be extended several times."

"Will this thing fall off?" Li Xin walked over and watched carefully a black meniscus iron bar nailed on the horse's hooves in confusion.

"Didao Hou, don't worry, this horseshoe is nailed into the horseshoe with several inches of iron nails, and is polished with special knives and steel files, so it will never fall off. However, this iron palm will naturally wear after being used for a long time, and it may be replaced every few years!" Chen Xu explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this horseshoe is indeed a strange thing. With the saddle, stirrup and sharp steel weapons, if you can organize 30,000 cavalry, you can lead this iron-hoofed army to sweep the northwest and complete the task of pacifying the Huns and Donghu for Your Majesty!" Li Xin saluted to Qin Shihuang excitedly.

Li Xin was a native of Qin. He lived in Xianyang for generations. His ancestors were all military generals. He was considered a young sect among the military generals of Qin. His father Li Yao was once the commander of the General Bai Qi. He participated in the Battle of Changping. After Bai Qi's death, Qin State participated in several attacks on Zhao Li Yao, and he also accumulated a lot of merits and was named Marquis of Di Dao.

The first thing Qin Shihuang did after he became an adult was to confront Zhao State and sent general Wang Jian. Li Yao was appointed as the prefect of Nanjun by Qin Shihuang because of his age and illness. Li Xin led the army from the two counties of Yunzhong in Taiyuan to assist Wang Jian and make great contributions to conquering Handan. At this point, Li Xin became famous in one battle. He gradually emerged in the battle to unify the six countries. His military achievements were outstanding and he was promoted to general. Unfortunately, because he was young and energetic, he did not listen to Wang Jian's advice in the battle to destroy Chu, and underestimated the enemy to lead 200,000 troops to attack Chu State. Then he was killed by the Chu army and almost wiped out the entire army. Qin Shihuang had no choice but to ask Wang Jian to come out again and assembled 600,000 troops to complete the task of conquering Chu State.

The failure to attack Chu also became a stain on Li Xin, but Qin Shihuang still valued it deeply. Later, he participated in the war between destroying Yan and destroying Qi, both of whom were deputy generals of Wang Jian and Wang Ben, but his prestige in the army was much worse than before, and he lived a relatively low-key life on weekdays.

After Li Yao's death, Li Xin assassinated his father's title of Marquis Di Dao, so Li Xin is now one of the few Marquis of the Qin Empire.

But after seeing Chen Xu's improved horse harnesses and weapons today, Li Xin felt that his chance to wash away his shame was coming.

"Okay! Duke Didao is indeed my powerful general of Qin. I feel very relieved, but this matter needs to be carefully considered and will be discussed in the court again!" Qin Shihuang was overjoyed. After saying that, he pointed to the war horse with saddles and stirrups and said, "I also want to ride a ride to try this modified harness!"

"Your Majesty, no!" The ministers were so scared that their faces were pale, and they all spoke out to dissuade them.

Chen Xu twitched a few times and said, "Your Majesty, this war horse is not familiar with your smell. If you are shocked and afraid of hurting Your Majesty, why would you please help me take a test ride?"

"Your Majesty, what the Queen of Qinghe said is very true. I am willing to take the test on my behalf." Li Xin said quickly.

"Okay, let Du Daohou help me take the test. All my dear friends and good cavalry can try it!" Although Qin Shihuang was very eager to feel this new horse harness, he was unwilling to go against the good intentions of all the ministers, so he had to give orders with disappointment on his face.

"Come and try it!" The general named Zhao who was speaking just now also walked in front of a group of war horses.

"I'll try it too!" Another general with a brocade robe and jade crown came out of the crowd.

Even a few civil officials were eager to try, and suddenly more than a dozen walked out. The few who were ahead had already turned over and sat on the saddle and stepped on the stirrup to express surprises and praises.

"Give me a big knife!" Li Xin reached out and an imperial guard next to him quickly handed over the big knife.

"Go~" After Li Xin held the sword for a brief moment, his face became even more happy. He imitated the appearance of the imperial guards just now, and did not pull the reins. He hit the stirrups with his legs, and the war horse neighed and rushed out and headed straight for the straw man's position.

"Slay~" Li Xin deserves to be a general and is skilled in archery and horses. Although he is holding a super heavy sword that he is not familiar with, he roars and waves his sword to cut off a straw man after a slight accusation.

"Haha, okay, it's indeed a good weapon!" Li Xin riding on the horse made a very pleasant and pleasant laugh, constantly adjusting his body, waved his sword and chopped left and right, galloping through the straw man's position, cutting off three straw man and then turning back, and then cutting off three or four straw man before stopping.

"I'm here!" Another general also rushed out and rushed into the straw man's position with a long spear in his hand, stinging left and right. Although he was not as familiar as the few soldiers who had just practiced, his arm strength was even stronger. He rushed over and picked up a total of five straw man. When he returned, Li Xin slapped his horse and met him.

"Zhao Tuo, kill someone!"

"Haha, okay, Zhao will try the big sword in Didaohou's hand!" Zhao Tuo no longer dealt with the straw man, but danced the spear in his hand and headed straight for Li Xin. The two of them soon fought together in the martial arts field.

The war horses ran back and forth, and the sound of guns and knives shouting in an instant resounded throughout the factory.

Qin Shihuang and the accompanying civil and military ministers all looked straight at the two generals fighting back and forth, and thousands of imperial guards were all looking sideways, holding their breath and staring at them. The fierce battle made people's blood thrilling.

Seven or eight minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo were both sweating profusely, but they became more and more excited as they fought. This fierce battle on horseback made them find an unparalleled confidence, so they became more and more addicted to the battle. At first, they were slightly restrained, but later they completely entered a selfless fight. Moreover, the two were equally matched, and the sword light and the gun shadow kept shouting. The gun blades and the big swords collided in the air, and from time to time a bright spark popped up.

"Enough, please order the two generals to stop!" Qin Shihuang felt that they might be injured if they continued, so he raised his hand to stop him.

With a sharp bamboo whistle sound, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo quickly stopped after hearing this, and each pulled the reins and retreated. At this time, both of them were scattered with their brocade robes and hair, and the sweat on their faces rolled like water washing. However, they both had infinite comfort and surprise on their faces. They bowed each other and hung up weapons, and rode their horses ten feet away from Qin Shihuang to dismount together.

"Your Majesty, this saddle and stirrup is like a magical object. You only need to equip tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to wipe out the Huns!" Li Xin bowed with excitement on his face.
Chapter completed!
