Kick! Kick! Kick!
Li Yuan rode his horse at a high speed, spinning around like a compass.
Fortunately, when he was young, he had fought all over the world and was also an expert in riding horses.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Li Shi Min led the Imperial Guards into the courtyard and saw Li Yuan riding a horse around the pavilion. The horse ran as fast as lightning, dazzling Li Shi Min's eyes.
"Oh, Little Li, you're here? Do you want to play two games of Chinese chess with me?"
Lin Yun asked with a smile when he saw Li Shiming.
"Little Li!"
When Li Shiming heard these three words, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately jumped up, and his face turned as black as a pig's liver.
Damn it!
This rascal actually called me Little Li Zi!
I'm so angry!
Li Shiming had originally wanted to thank Lin Yun, but at this moment, he was already gnashing his teeth in hatred, wishing he could stuff Lin Yun's mouth with water.
"Puchi ~~"
When the imperial guards behind heard Lin Xuan address Li Shiming, they almost could not help but laugh!
"Humph!"
Li Shi Min turned around and glared at them.
The imperial guards were so frightened that they kept quiet out of fear. They hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
Li Shiming walked into the pavilion and glanced at the chessboard. He realized that Li Yuan had lost. He then looked at Li Yuan who was running his horse and understood the reason.
"So the loser has to ride in circles…"
Li Shi Min was speechless. He was the emperor of a country, how could he play such a stupid trick?
Kick, kick, kick!
However, Li Shiming suddenly realized that the horse was making a lot of noise when it was riding. The tiles were slightly dented by its footsteps. Moreover, the horse was running on the hard tiles without any restraint. Instead, it was running very fast.
" H-how is this possible?!"
Li Shi Min was extremely surprised.
During the Tang Dynasty, horses were not equipped with horseshoes. When horses ran on hard ground, their hooves would ache slightly, and their running speed would be greatly reduced.
But Lin Yun's horse wasn't affected at all!
Unbelievable!
Li Shi Min looked at the horse's hooves. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He found that the horse's hooves were equipped with a circular iron block.
"What is this?"
Li Shiming was shocked. Could this strange round iron be the reason why this horse could run so fast?!
Coincidentally, Li Yuan had also completed 30 rounds. He stopped his horse and jumped off the horse.
"Huff huff!"
Li Yuan let out a breath and laughed,"I haven't ridden a horse so freely in a long time.”
"Speaking of which, Xiao Lin, your horse is a precious horse. It can run so fast on such hard bricks!”
Li Yuan looked at this handsome black horse and couldn't help but nod in praise.
"Father, did you notice that there is something under the horse's feet?”
Li Shi Min walked over and squatted down, ignoring his status. He carefully looked at the horse's tail.
"Something?"
Li Yuan was stunned. He looked down and saw that there was indeed an iron ring under the horse's hoof.
"This horse can run so fast because of this iron ring?!”
Li Shi Min's tone was filled with excitement. He stared at the hoof's hoof with a burning gaze, feeling extremely surprised.
"Little Li, your observation is quite detailed.”
Lin Yun smiled and stood up, praising Li Shimin.
"Lin Yun, what exactly is this iron ring?! How could it allow horses to run freely on hard ground?”
Li Shi Min asked excitedly.
Li Shiming suddenly realized that this metal hoop could allow horses to gallop on hard ground. If the Great Tang cavalry could equip this metal hoop, then their mobility and fighting strength would be greatly improved!
When he went to war with the Turks, his chances of winning would more than double!
"This circular iron ring is called a horseshoe. Its main function is to protect the horse's hooves. When the hooves came into contact with the ground, they would easily fall off and be damaged by the friction and collision of the ground, causing the horse to be unable to walk anymore. Horseshoes could not only protect the hooves, but also make the hooves firmly grip the ground. It was very beneficial for riding and driving, allowing the horses to walk and run on various terrains.”
Lin Yun calmly explained.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Li Shiming's eyes lit up.
"Lin Yun, you've made a great contribution!”
"Do you know that His Majesty is about to send troops to attack the Turks? If the cavalry of the Great Tang can be equipped with these horseshoes, their fighting strength will definitely rise to a whole new level!”
"Victory over the Turks is just around the corner!"
Li Shi Min was very excited. His face was flushed red, and his hands were trembling.
He knew very well that if the Great Tang's ten thousand cavalry were all equipped with horseshoes, they would be able to charge through the complex Turkic terrain without fear of any hard terrain, and their warhorses would not be worn out. This would greatly reduce military expenditure!
"Do you have horseshoes? Give me a piece, I want to use it to make a horseshoe.”
Li Shiming stared at Lin Yun with a burning gaze, as if he was looking at a piece of fat meat.
Lin Yun felt goosebumps all over his body and immediately took two steps back, saying,"Wait, you just gave it to me?"
“……”
Li Shi Min's heart skipped a beat. Is this kid going to make things difficult for me again?
He was determined to get this horseshoe!
Li Shi Min was very clear about the effect of horseshoes on cavalry!
Even if Lin Yun was in a difficult position, he had to get it!
Li Shiming took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yun.""What do you want?"
"Call me uncle first.”
Lin Yun said with a mischievous smile.
"You!"
Li Shi Min's face darkened.
