Chu Tianxiu didn't take out the stirrups before, so he had too many concerns.

Of course, now the Great Chu Dynasty and the Huns are about to engage in a life-and-death battle, completely resolving the grudges that have been in the past hundred years.

It is also the large-scale 300,000 cavalry troops on the border of Great Chu, equipped with 300,000 pairs of stirrups. Then, they were asked to put on steel armor and upgraded to heavy armored soldiers.

Even if the Huns learned stirrups immediately, they would not have time to create 400,000 or 500,000 pairs of stirrups in a short while.

Heavy industrial products such as steel armor have extremely high technical content, not to mention. The Huns could not even train iron tools well, and they were mainly leather armor.

They spent a lot of time creating stirrups.

It is estimated that the war to fight against the Huns in the north will end long ago.

As for the future.

Within a hundred years, stirrups will appear sooner or later, and will be learned by nomads sooner or later. It is useless to hide them.

Moreover, after the large-scale popularity of steel and gunpowder in the Great Chu Dynasty, the nomadic peoples will slowly withdraw from the stage of history and will no longer cause trouble.

If the steel production revolution in Danyang City went well, two hundred years later, it would be the era of armored warships and rampant oceans.

Stirrups and other things are not worth mentioning. The cavalry withdraws from history, and there is no such thing as the Five Barbarians, Jin Kingdom, or Liao Kingdom.

...

To fight the Huns, it must be dominated by gunpowder light cavalry.

Otherwise, if both legs run off, they will not be able to catch up with the Huns' light cavalry.

Of course, infantry chariot troops are also very useful.

Infantry chariots marched slightly slower, but they could transport food and grass, pull small steel cannons, shells, knives, guns and equipment, gunpowder and other supplies.

Even installing guns on the chariot can be used as a temporary defensive position to block the impact of the Xiongnu light cavalry.

In addition, the steel armored heavy cavalry, even the war horses are covered with steel armor, which can break through the obstruction of all light cavalrymen.

Chu Tianxiu was preparing to bring 20,000 gunpowder gun light cavalry, 20,000 chariots in battle, and 10,000 steel armor heavy cavalry. These three troops were to fight against the Huns in the north.

This is not large in size, and there is no need to supply too much food and grass, which will basically not bring too much burden to the finances and national strength of Da Chu.

...

The thousand students from the Military Academy quickly formed a "team".

They are classmates and are familiar with each other.

Everyone knows that whoever has the ability, who can take the lead, who has the temper and personality, there is no running-in period.

Those who are mighty will naturally be elected as the leader and leader of each team.

On the school ground, they were divided into "Huns Light Cavalry" and "Da Chu Three Armies", and they simulated military exercises with each other.

Mutual attack and defense!

The fight was quite decent.

Just give each of them fifty elite soldiers and they can quickly and directly upgrade to an army of 50,000 troops.

"very good!"

"You have become generals, lieutenants, and lieutenants according to your current team. After you have made military achievements on the battlefield, you will become regular and be rewarded by the court."

"Now conduct a three-army review!"

After watching a military exercise, Chu Tianxiu was quite satisfied with their performance and inspected a thousand students on the campus.

To inspect the three armies, of course, you have to ride a horse.

Chu Tianxiu, the "General of the Cavalry", still can't ride a horse.

When he was fighting with King Xiang Bi of Wu, he rode a horse with Zuer, and Zuer took the horse and hugged Zuer's waist, for fear of falling.

The King of Wu's cavalry was only 20,000 and very weak, and they were all mainly infantry.

As a general, he doesn't go to war, so he doesn't have to worry too much about doing this.

This northern expedition was to go to the grassland to fight the Huns. The grassland was extremely vast, and the Huns were all hundreds of thousands of light cavalry, so of course he could not learn to ride a horse.

Not to mention fighting, at least we have to ride a horse faster when we go on a journey. Of course, no one can ride alone.

Zuer took a gentle stallion over and handed the reins to Chu Tianxiu, and smiled and said, "Son-in-law, you haven't learned equestrianism yet, so be careful right away!"

This stallion is nearly two meters tall and is very strong and powerful.

Chu Tianxiu took the reins and wanted to climb onto the horse.

But I was embarrassed to find that the horse's back was extremely smooth, and I always slid down when I jumped on it, but I couldn't jump on it.

The stallion was not equipped with stirrups.

It is impossible to practice horse racing without one or two years of hard work, and it is impossible to ride a horse to fight. If you want to be superb riding, you will need more than three years of hard work.

If you don’t know how to equine, it’s not easy to even get on a horse.

On the military and military university field, many students were embarrassed to see Chu Tianxiu and couldn't hold it in, and burst into laughter.

The new general of the Great Chu generation, the famous general of the cavalry, can't even ride a horse. This joke is probably enough for them to laugh for a whole year.

"Joe, go and take out my equipment and replace this horse with it!"

Chu Tianxiu was quite annoyed.

Zuer stuck out his tongue and immediately ran to the carriage next to him, took out an extremely gorgeous set of saddles, stirrups, and "blind" Bailian war horse armor, and put it on the stallion.

Chu Tianxiu picked the stirrups with one foot and wanted to exert force... but he was wearing a pair of steel armor that weighed dozens of kilograms, which was quite heavy.

Seeing this, Joo hurriedly held it hard.

Chu Tianxiu finally took advantage of the power and jumped onto the horse's back.

"Driving~!"

Chu Tianxiu held the reins and asked the horse to walk slowly.

He held a "heavy" Fangtian Painted Ridge in his hand, with a majestic appearance, walking in front of the square formation of teachers and a thousand students of the Military Academy, inspecting the three armies.

He doesn't have horsemanship.

But the equipment is too awesome. This is the upgrade of the light cavalry to the steel armored cavalry, the replacement of the bird gun with cannon, and the upgrade of a large-level position.

This majesty alone is not comparable to that of light cavalry.

The teachers and students all stared at each other.

These teachers have fought for life on the battlefield and practiced equestrianism for many years. They have never seen anyone wearing heavy armor on horseback - because they can't sit steadily, they are prone to falling off.

But Xiao Hunhou's legs were supported by stirrups and sat very steadily.

Damn it!

Can you still do this?

It is such a simple way to install a foothold for the horse and help fix it.

Why didn't they expect it?

"Good thing!"

"Immediately, all the war horses are equipped with such footing things! It will be much safer to ride on the horse like this!"

"This... can I ride a horse like this?"

"The war horse can even wear heavy armor, and its whole body is wrapped! Isn't the defense greatly increasing, and I'm not afraid of arrows?"

"Son-in-law!"

"Mr. Marquis!"

"General!"

"Is there any such armor?"

Thousands of students' eyes were red with envy.

The Li family members who were close to Chu Tianxiu rushed forward in a swarm, touching the stirrups and steel vests of the leather war horses, and were unbelievable.

"Don't worry! The heavy steel cavalry, each of them can have a set of stirrup vests and armor!"
