The blacksmiths looked confused.
What is horseshoes?
How come they have never heard of it?
The general wouldn't wake up when putting shoes on the horses.
Several people's faces turned red and they didn't dare to say anything.
Even Fan Tian and others on the side , all with expressions of disbelief.
Wang Zhi had no choice but to go into battle in person: "You guys have a good idea, this is very simple.
You will do it yourself later.
Every horse must have it."
The horseshoe is very simple, just four semicircular iron pieces with a few small holes drilled in the middle to facilitate nailing.
After a while, a brand new horseshoe is out of the oven.
Wang Zhi asked several soldiers around him to hold down his horse and give his own horse a pair first, otherwise others would not believe it.
"I'm used to being barefoot, what are you doing?"
I guess that's what the horse was thinking.
It looked very uncooperative and kicked its hooves wildly.
A blacksmith was accidentally kicked and his front teeth were kicked.
All dropped one.
After a while, the horseshoe was finally installed, but the horse looked unaccustomed to it, so Wang Zhi had no choice but to comfort it.
"Don't underestimate this little horseshoe.
It's like the shoes we wear.
It can protect the horseshoe well.
Even if the outer horseshoe is broken, just replace it with another one, and the horseshoe will not be hurt in the future."
"Really?"
Fan Tian's eyes lit up.
This is a big treasure.
Every year in the Tang Dynasty, 30% to 40% of war horses are retired just because of damaged horseshoes.
Unexpectedly, such a small thing can be solved.
"I really don't know what's going on in his mind."
Fan Tian shook his head, suddenly feeling more confident about the upcoming battle.
Wang Zhi rode a horse and gave everyone a demonstration.
Sure enough, after a while, the horse adapted to the horseshoes.
Moreover, Wang Zhi specially found a rough and rough intersection with rocks and other bad places to run, and everything was intact.
Nothing happened.
No.
Now everyone felt relieved, and the whole army was mobilized.
The blacksmiths were responsible for making it, and the soldiers were responsible for installing it.
In less than half a day, the horses in the team had been installed.
Good things still need to be shared, and.
We must focus on the overall situation.
Now that we have this thing, we can no longer let the horses suffer losses.
Therefore, Wang Zhi sent Zhang Heng with several pairs of horseshoes to the Hou Junji tribe, Liu Lan tribe, and Niu Jinda tribe.
Tell the good news.
"Ma Wu, Zhao Dong, you two are staying here for the time being.
Ma Wu, you are injured.
You need to recover first.

Then you can catch up with the team.
A broken tooth is not a trivial matter.
I hope you don't get infected.
I'll leave you some time later."
Jar of alcohol, Zhao Dong, some of these injured horses are not serious, just nurse them back and see if they can recover."
After Wang Zhi made arrangements, he hurriedly ordered the march.
Originally, the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty did not pay much attention to an operation that failed because of the request to marry a princess.
In recent years, the army of the Tang Dynasty was invincible at the point of its soldiers, and few people dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, before the expedition, Whether it was the sergeants or the people in Chang'an City, they all talked about this matter in a casual way.
But now, the painting style has changed too quickly.
I originally thought it was just a farce, but the Tibetan army actually attacked brazenly and captured Songzhou City, a city in the Tang Dynasty, massacring thousands of people.
News When the news came, everyone in the army was furious from top to bottom, and they would not stop until they avenged their shame.
Regardless of whether it was Niu Jinda's tribe, or Hou Junji and Liu Lan's tribe who had arrived early, they all began to carry out raids outside the city.
Anyone who was not Han or could not even speak Chinese would be killed without mercy.
In fact, Songtsen Gampo, as the emerging king of Tibet, wanted more than just the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
After years of continuous battles, his self-confidence naturally expanded.
He wanted to test the weight of the Tang Dynasty to see if it was really like it.
What those small countries in the Western Regions say is so vivid and invincible As the general manager, Hou Junji was also worried.
Fifty thousand people could still fight against hundreds of thousands of Tibetan soldiers, but if they were to attack the city, it would not work.
So he immediately sent a fast horse to report the news to Chang'an Li Shimin, and Ask for more troops to avenge previous humiliation.
The difficulty is not only to attack the city, but also to accommodate the people who escaped.
When the city was broken, many people followed Han Wei's army and ran out, or escaped from various gaps.
The closer they got to Songzhou City, the more people there were.
The three general managers had no choice but to put down their work to appease the people, build another military camp to house the people, bury pots to make rice, and allocate grain and grass to provide food and shelter for the people.
However, on the night when the refugees were gathered, a fire suddenly broke out in the new military camp.
The Tibetans who were mixed in the refugee camp took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the general manager's camp.
Fortunately, the three general managers were experienced in many battles.
The soldiers did not panic and faced the enemy calmly, so they did not suffer much losses.
The loss was not big for a few days, but Hou Junji was furious.
The damn Tubo people really bullied me.
Hou Junji was incompetent.
"The chief steward, one of Wang Zhi's soldiers came to see him and said he had something important to do."
Hou Junji's soldiers did not dare to delay, fearing that something important really happened.
"What important thing can he ask to see me and why he hasn't come in person?
Go and ask what it is."
Hou Junji waved his hands irritably, and then stared at the map attentively to check.
The Tubo people were so humiliating to themselves. , how could you not give them some color?
"General manager, the man said that Wang Zhi invented something called horseshoes, which are worn on horses' feet, just like we wear shoes.
They say they can reduce the losses of horses."
After a while, the soldiers hurriedly walked in and repeatedly reported.
"It's nonsense.
What kind of shoes does a mere beast need to wear?
Wang Zhi is full of food and is here to entertain me.
Come here, I will serve him with ten army sticks, so that he can remember it for a long time."
After hearing this, Hou Junji became furious, thinking that Wang Zhi was humiliating him, or even laughing at him because of the previous sneak attack.

The two of them had a grudge, and Hou Junji was also petty.
Coupled with the Tibetan sneak attack just now, what was originally a good and upright thing turned out to be like this.
Zhang Heng didn't expect that something he thought went smoothly would turn out like this.
"What are you doing?
I'm here to deliver something.
Why are you hitting me?
Hey, ah, ah, it hurts me to death."
Hou Junji's soldiers did not hold back.
When the Tenth Army stick came down, Zhang Heng's butt was already very swollen.
Gao, it was impossible to ride a horse, so I could only lie on the horse and walk slowly.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Heng rushed to the place where Niu Jinda's tribe and Liu Lan's tribe were.
However, this time Zhang Heng was not going to go in even if he was beaten to death.
Instead, he asked people to pass things and messages in at the entrance of the camp.
As for the two If the general manager doesn't listen, then he won't talk about his own affairs.
Anyway, his mission is completed
