Chapter 5: Stirrups

"Okay, the old thief Dong Zhuo is not long after." Lu Bu laughed.

"Why did the general say this?" Cao Xing asked.

"Hmph, Dong Zhuo's actions in Luoyang City have long been aggravated by the anger of heaven and people. When he wanted to abolish the current saint, Governor Ding tried his best to stop him and did not want to harm him. But he underestimated the heroes of the world and waited for a manifesto, and Dong Zhuo would become the target of the princes' attack. If he fought against the world with his own strength, how could there be a victory?" Lu Bu naturally knew this history and said nonsense.

"The general is wise." Cao Xing echoed.

"Stop flattering, train well, don't think that you can be special if you are the commander of the Tiger Guard. If the Tiger Guard is not qualified, you can feed the Tiger Guard."

"Don't worry, General, I still have the ability to be humble." Cao Xing laughed. Among the generals, he dared to do this in front of Lu Bu. After recent observations, he found that Lu Bu's temper has improved a lot, and he has also made more jokes.

"Get out." Lu Bu said angrily.

"I'll get out now, I'll get out now." Cao Xing said with a smile on his face.

Lu Bu felt warm in his heart, as if he had found the feeling of being in the army in his previous life. In contrast, the Bingzhou army was more obedient and less friendship with comrades. It seems that he would change it in the future, so that the soldiers in the army could find a sense of belonging and improve their combat effectiveness.

The generals of various divisions were busy training, and Lu Bu could not be idle. In order to adapt to the war horses faster, they fell off the horses for several days, and made a lot of jokes in front of the generals in the army.

After some observation, Lu Bu found that there were indeed fewer things in the war horses of the Han Dynasty. No wonder they always fell off the horse. Stirrups were indispensable for war horses. With him, it became easy to get on and off the horses, and they would not worry about falling off the horses even if they did various actions on the war horses.

So Lu Bu ordered people to quietly create stirrups to ensure the freedom of movement on the war horse. It has to be said that Lu Bu's body is worthy of being the number one general of the Three Kingdoms. If you have no strength, the halberd technique in your memory is also shocking the world and the ghosts and gods. As long as you use it skillfully, who is the enemy in the world? In addition to this riding technique, it needs to be strengthened.

Later, Lu Bu installed stirrups on all the war horses. With this epoch-making treasure, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry doubled, and the cavalry who could only do some simple movements on the horse's back.

With stirrups, you can make some difficult moves. Ordinary cavalry has the riding skills of ordinary generals, and it is definitely a crushing existence on the battlefield. When riding a war horse with stirrups, Lu Bu also feels very comfortable and doesn't have to worry about falling off the war horse at all times.

The cavalry was also very excited when they discovered the use of stirrups, thinking that next time they met the Xiliang army, they would let them see what riding is.

That night, Lu Bu led Cao Xing's Thousand Tiger Guards to quietly start the night drill.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the four fields. How could the Bingzhou army, who had fought several times, understand that there were cavalry coming.

"Enemy attack!" The patrol soldier shouted, constantly knocking on the gong in his hands.

Many soldiers had just fallen asleep, and the noisy sound pulled them back from their dreams. They put on their clothes in a hurry, but in panic, they forgot where the weapons were placed.

Looking at the panicked camp and the generals of various units who were blindly commanding, and even some soldiers pointed their swords and guns at their own soldiers, Lu Bu frowned.

"Immediately!" Lu Bu said coldly.

Under the flames, the panicked soldiers saw that they were their own soldiers and breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Lian looked at his disheveled subordinates with a pale face and walked towards Lu Bu.

"Look at what you all look like, and you are still thinking about avenging the governor? Just like you, if the Xiliang army really comes, how many can live?" In the camp, Lu Bu said sternly: "Did you forget the lesson that night?"

"General Cheng Lian, this is how you usually train soldiers. The enemy attacks and go into battle with bare hands."

"I report to the general, I have poor training, so please punish me." Cheng Lian's face turned red.

"Hmph, forget it the first time. If you see a soldier who has not brought weapons next time, you will personally get the weapons for him. If anyone has not put on his clothes, you will help him wear them."

"No." Cheng Lian bowed, thinking about how to train those subordinates after going back.

The other generals in the tent were shocked. It seemed that they would strengthen their night training in the future, otherwise they would be embarrassed and even lose their official position.

"In the future, the generals should be clear about the location of their soldiers. Once there is a change, they can organize their troops in time. Soldiers patrolling at night should be vigilant and use commands. If I find out that you look like you are facing an enemy raid, I will go to the grassland to feed the horses."

After Lu Bu personally led the army to steal the camp, the soldiers and horses of various units were much more cautious when they rested at night. Faced with the two subsequent stealing camps, they could organize resistance in an orderly manner. Although they were still a little panicked, they were not so helpless.

What soldiers fear the most is that they don’t know how many enemies have come. In addition, many soldiers cannot see their eyes at night, and they will unconsciously feel fear. This is also a common problem for ancient soldiers. Due to long-term malnutrition, many soldiers cannot see their eyes at night.

These fears are the root of the chaos in the army. Once the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army can overcome this, they will have a great advantage on the battlefield.

"Brothers, killing enemies requires your own skills. You usually train hard in order to ensure that you have the ability to save your lives and kill people on the battlefield. Now, the assessment has begun." Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, stood on the platform and said loudly.

"Brother." Hearing such a friendly name, the generals and soldiers below felt warm. What else could he not be satisfied with if there was such a general who regarded himself as a brother?

Looking at the infantry's sparse pace, Lu Bu shook his head slightly. Such a team could be said to be without any discipline. It is not certain whether the orders on the battlefield can be effectively implemented, and the formation of the cavalry is everywhere.

The assessment of soldiers is also an examination of basic strength and speed. After all, the troops of each unit are not trapped in the camp. Under Gao Shun's command, he can do it like an arm command. Looking at the chaotic formation, Lu Bu did not change much and lost the patience to keep watching.

"Generals from all departments came out." Lu Bu said in a low voice.

"Now, I will teach you how soldiers walk and turn. After you go down, you will teach the soldiers what they are doing, so that the soldiers can practice more in their daily lives." Lu Bu showed some simple movements such as walking in step and turning in front of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army.
