Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "If Brother Xiao has any questions, you can ask the blacksmiths to forge a small amount according to the shape."
"We will know after the experiment."
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Alright, this is the safest way!"
"Brother, I won't accompany you. I have to lead the blacksmiths to make these two things immediately."
He didn't want to delay any longer now.
His desire for revenge made him unwilling to wait even a moment.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Then I won't bother Brother Xiao anymore."
As soon as Zhao Hao left, Xiao Chuyun led a group of blacksmiths to start working.
If we look at the size of the caltrop, it is about the same size as an adult's fist.
You need to make a mold first, and then pour molten iron into the mold, and then you can produce it in large quantities.
He first asked people to make molds according to the shapes on the patterns, and then asked the blacksmiths to start forging horseshoes directly.
The pig iron shipped from Qinzhou is extremely hard.
Therefore, it is not easy to forge.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Chuyun did the same as Tie Jue and asked someone to make a mold.
He didn't know whether the mold would be strong enough.
We can only know after it is built and tested.
Here, let the blacksmiths stop working and continue forging.
From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon.
More than thirty blacksmiths took turns forging, and finally successfully forged ten pairs of horseshoes before the sun set.
Xiao Chuyun immediately asked someone to bring ten war horses.
Then the horseshoe was nailed on the horse's hoof.
At this time, many generals gathered around.
Watching the blacksmiths shoeing horseshoes, someone couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is something new to see today."
“Even war horses have to wear shoes!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
A brave general who had followed Xiao Chuyun for a long time couldn't help but ask, "General, what are you doing?"
Xiao Chuyun grinned and said, "Just like you saw, putting shoes on the warhorse!"
"This thing was invented by Lord Zhao."
"You all know very well who Lord Zhao is, and you also know very well what he is capable of."
"He said that with this thing, our horses will be able to gallop on the ice as if it were flat ground."
“The horse’s leg strength will also be longer lasting.”
Hearing him say this, another general said: "General, how is this possible?"
"If we put on these iron shoes, the warhorse can walk on ice as if it were flat ground?"
The generals looked at each other, all with disbelief in their eyes.
However, this thing was invented by Zhao Hao.
They didn't dare to question too much.
Because they all knew very well what Zhao Hao was capable of.
He was a great inventor.
There are so many things to invent.
In addition, they all knew very well the relationship between their general and Zhao Hao.
If there are too many doubts, my general might be unhappy.
Seeing what everyone was thinking, Xiao Chuyun didn't care.
He smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know whether this thing is as powerful as Lord Zhao said."
"Wait a moment, we will take these ten war horses outside the city to conduct experiments."
"By the way, bring a few more batches of horses without shoes."
"Compare the two sides."
"The result is clear at a glance!"
These rough guys in the army probably wouldn't be too interested in anything else.
However, when it comes to competition, everyone becomes interested.
Soon, after the horseshoes were nailed on, Xiao Chuyun had someone bring in a dozen war horses that had not been shoveled.
A group of dozens of people, leading their horses, headed out of the city.
You are not allowed to ride a horse at a gallop in the city.
Before setting off, Xiao Chuyun went to the City Lord's Mansion specifically, wanting to ask Zhao Hao to go with him.
But Zhao Hao shook his head and refused.
"It's already dusk, and we'll have dinner soon. I won't join in the fun. Brother Xiao, you should go by yourself!"
Seeing that Zhao Hao was not going, as if he had already known the result, Xiao Chuyun did not say anything more.
"That's fine, brother. I'll tell you the results after I come back from the experiment."
Zhao Hao was just about to say, "No need," but Xiao Chuyun had already turned and left.
Outside the city, the weather in February was still unusually cold.
Looking around, the entire grassland was white.
There was thick snow everywhere.
In some places, located on high ground, the snow was blown away by the north wind.
When the sun comes out, it will melt some.
However, when the midday sun sets, the melted snow water freezes into ice.
This kind of place is also the most slippery.
Xiao Chuyun divided the shod war horses and the unshod war horses into two sides.
Then he turned to look at the generals and said loudly: "It seems that our test begins now."
"Who among you wants to try this warhorse with shoes on?"
My fellow generals, you look at me, I look at you, and none of us are willing.
One of them shouted, "General, you better give the order, otherwise no one will be willing!"
Xiao Chuyun asked: "Why is this?"
The general said, "General, we are all very familiar with riding ordinary war horses."
"But we don't know the situation of the person wearing shoes."
"If you fail and fall off your horse, you will be laughed at by others for at least a year!"
