Chapter 181 The cavalry trial clearance!(3/3)
When the horse is running fast, the cavalry only needs to step on the stirrups with both feet, clamp the horse's belly with the thighs, lift the buttocks slightly away from the saddle, and lean forward to maintain stability. No matter how bumpy the horse is, the body will remain stable.
The gimbal is equally stable.
At this time, when you draw the bow and set the arrow, although the weight of the bow is not as good as on the flat ground, the stability and accuracy will be very good.
This was hard to imagine in the era of stirrup horses.
Similarly, it is easier to maintain balance when using weapons on horseback with stirrups.
Zhao Haiping, who was accustomed to riding a stirrupless horse, switched to a stirrup horse. It was like a man who had become a sharpshooter with an ordinary rifle and suddenly got a highly accurate sniper rifle.
I even wanted to do two laps.
Just considering that I am now the emperor, I still have to be more prudent.
At this moment, a fast horse came running from the front.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the front! Yesterday evening, the Northern Barbarians had captured the important town of Xuanningwei. If the army continues to move forward, it is very likely to run into the elite cavalry of the Northern Barbarians. How to make a decision, Your Majesty, please tell me!"
Upon hearing this military report, Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a question mark slowly floated over his head.
What's going on?
Before he could react, an older eunuch next to him had already said: "The Northern Barbarian army? Isn't that the opponent that His Majesty is seeking for personal conquest? Send an order to the entire army to continue to advance and kill all these Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop!"
A veteran with white beard and hair next to him couldn't help but change his face, and his goatee twitched: "Eunuch Liu, you absolutely must not!
"Our army is poorly prepared for this trip and is already running out of food and fodder. What's more, the baggage vehicles have not arrived, and other armies have not converged. The soldiers who have been marching for many days have lacked rest. If they encounter the Northern Barbarian cavalry at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The old general with goatee looked at the soldiers who came to convey the military information: "Why did the Northern Barbarians suddenly invade in large numbers? Xuanning Guards had more than 20,000 defenders, how could it be defeated in an instant?"
The soldier hesitated: "I don't know, it is said that there is a traitor in the city..."
Eunuch Liu said coldly: "Why are you so afraid of the enemy? If your Majesty personally goes to war, these northern barbarians will be crushed..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Haiping raised his hand: "Wait, who are you?"
Eunuch Liu was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, this servant is..."
He was just halfway through his words, and before he could say his name, he saw His Majesty in front of him raising the riding crop in his hand and hitting him directly in the face.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, and the eunuch was almost whipped by a horse whip and spun around in circles several times before falling to the ground in confusion, spitting out two bloody teeth.
Zhao Haiping was speechless: "I don't care who you are, it's your turn as a eunuch to talk about military and national affairs?!
"Drag it down and kill it!"
