Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

　　 Chapter 52

　　 Stirrups, saddles, horseshoes.

　　 During the days when the new army was formed, Bruno was pleasantly surprised to find that among the three artifacts of the cavalry in the previous life, only the saddle had appeared in this world.

　　 As for horseshoes and stirrups or similar substitutes, they have not been invented by anyone.

　　 The cavalry of the Norman Empire is still in a relatively primitive stage of development, and it can only be regarded as a step towards standardization and standardization.

　　 Most of them wore chain armor and large shoulder pads, and they wore hard helmets on their heads.

　　 But the cavalry's weapons are still short swords. Some cavalry also carry spears and bows. The spears can be thrown or stabbed, and the bows and arrows are matched with the cavalry to shoot while they are moving fast.

　　 However, such cavalry has an extremely fatal flaw. They just put a blanket on the back of the mount and tie a leather saddle, but they don't have any stirrups.

　　This causes the cavalry to rely on the legs to clamp the belly of the horse to maintain the balance of the body when fighting, so that the reaction force generated when the short soldiers meet can easily knock the cavalry off the horse.

　　 Moreover, even if there is no close fight, when the horse is galloping or prancing, it is often necessary to hold the horse's mane tightly.

　　 Therefore, after discovering this problem, Bruno specifically ordered the blacksmiths to build dozens of stirrups, and they were equipped with the guard cavalry at the first time.

The making of 　　 stirrups is extremely simple. It only needs to be described briefly, and even the worst blacksmith can make it.

With the stirrups, the cavalry led by Idar can fully liberate their upper body, ride and shoot, chop left and right, and use the stirrups to counteract the reaction force in close combat, so that the cavalry can truly command The power of the unity of man and horse is brought into play.

　　As for the horseshoe, although its role in combat is not obvious, it is of great significance in the long run.

　　 A horse without a horseshoe will easily crack or fall off after a long and long run. This will make the cavalry lose the ability to run and fight.

　　 The existence of horseshoes allows the cavalry to boldly attack or charge without worrying about the wear of horseshoes.

　　 Therefore, when equipped with these three artifacts, the Idar cavalry and the Sauron cavalry fought head-on, the victory of the Idar cavalry is almost certain.

　　Herman Barkley, who was disgraced, didn't hang up. He was just thrown to the ground by Sam, and then felt ashamed and unwilling to get up.

　　 Fifty knights were rushed to death, and the infantry led by Sauron, who was lucky enough to survive, were all captured.

　　 In fact, as early as when Herman Barkley was overturned to the ground, the civilian soldiers led by Sauron simply raised their hands and surrendered.

　　 This battle is no longer able to fight. The civilians led by Sauron who were forced to fight had no resistance to the surrender.

　　 A total of more than 300 soldiers and knights on the Sauron collar were captured, and more than 100 casualties were killed.

　　On the other hand, only three people were killed in the Idar collar. A dozen soldiers in the standing army were slightly injured. As for the guard cavalry, they were all alive and kicking.

　　 This can already be called a miracle in the history of the Norman Empire.

This result was achieved on the one hand because of the intensive training of the standing army and the guards and the use of various new weapons. On the other hand, it was because the army led by Sauron was too weak, and the civilian soldiers did not have anything at all. Fighting spirit.

　　 At this point, the soldiers led by Sauron were dead, wounded, and the plan to annex Grand Heights was completely bankrupt.

　　 After the war ended, Bruno was late with his entourage.

　　 Seeing that his army had won the battle, Bruno was naturally refreshed, and he suddenly felt relieved.

　　 "You are the eldest son of Earl Sauron, Herman Buckley?"

　　 looked up and down Herman Barkley who was **** by the big five flowers, Bruno asked curiously.

　　Herman Buckley turned his head aside, and said, "Yes! It's me, let me let go."

　　 "You are my prisoner now, why do you ask so much?"

　　 After that, Bruno gave the big man a hard kick.

　　 "You are insulting me! I am a noble! I am the only heir to Earl Sauron!" Herman Buckley's eyes widened and roared in disbelief.

　　 "This man has a loud voice..." Bruno covered his ears with his hands: "Sam, plug his mouth for me!"

　　 Sam Layton looked around, picked up a piece of black bread that had been dropped by the soldiers led by Sauron, and threw it into Herman Buckley’s mouth.

　　 "Hmm...hmm..." Herman Buckley struggled, but could not speak.

　　 "Are there any fish that slipped through the net?" Bruno ignored Herman Barkley's struggle and asked Sam.

　　 "No! The troops who invaded Idar this time are all here. I sent a sentry to the perimeter and watched. No one fled back!"

Sam Layton is also very excited at this time. After all, this is a big victory under his own command. Idarling hasn't ushered in such a victory for a long time~www.novelmt.com~Of course... The main credit is definitely to the lord, from forming a new army to inventing the stirrup and horseshoe, which one is not Bruno's credit.

　　 Sam Layton can only be second, but he is already satisfied.

　　 "In that case... then prepare to counterattack!"

　　 "Counter...counterattack? Now?" Sam Layton asked in surprise.

"Of course, didn't I pass the anger with you before?" Bruno said naturally, "Others have come to the door to go wild, there is no reason not to fight back, besides...not all of the troops led by Sauron have been folded here. Yet?"

　　 "Wow!" Sam agreed immediately.

　　 After all, after this battle, the Sauron collar is almost completely undefended, and Idar's army can drive straight into Sauron fort.

　　 "But...what's the extent of our counterattack...to what extent?" Sam was a little uncertain, so he asked Bruno.

　　 Although the Norman Empire turned a blind eye to the conflicts between the nobles, even territorial disputes can be tolerated, but it will never allow the nobles to be destroyed directly. This is the bottom line!

　　 It is precisely for this reason that Earl Sauron worked hard to plan only the Grand Heights located in the northern part of Idar.

　　 "Since the people of Sauron like land so much, then... just grab his land..."

　　 I saw Bruno use a quill pen to draw a line on the map he just took out: "I don't just want the Grand Heights... I want all the land south of this line!"
