Chapter 96: The chips Ying Yuan took out
Ying Yuan never forgot one thing.

That is, my goal is to be in a state of sustained badness.

It is not difficult to tank, but it is difficult to tank sustainably.

However, Ying Yuan knew very well whether it was more comfortable to do it temporarily or to do it all the time.

To put it bluntly, if he doesn't do anything, then he can just leave it there for a while.

But, does that matter?

Not important at all!
Since others don’t know, how could Ying Yuan not know?

The days of the Great Qin Dynasty won’t last long!
So for the time being, he has succeeded in giving up.

What happens next?

What to do then?
Either stand up and turn the tide and work hard to prolong the life of the Qin Dynasty;

Or wait until the Qin Empire is destroyed and the family is ruined and become a wanderer among the people...

By then, I'm afraid that not only will I be defeated, but I'm afraid I will be completely beaten to pieces.

Therefore, Ying Yuan, who was unwilling to end up in such a situation, stood up.

And now, the "deal" he was discussing with Wang Jian was the beginning of his plan.

"Before discussing the details of the transaction, I would like to ask the general, what do you think of the warhorse suit?"

Ying Yuan had almost gotten to the point just now, but after a feint, he turned around and talked about something else.

Wang Ben smacked his lips speechlessly, but Wang Jian seemed not to be affected at all and answered as a matter of course.

"To be honest, sir, that warhorse suit is really good!"

"Compared to the past, although the training of cavalry has increased costs and expenditures a little, the effect is really good!"

"One of the biggest benefits is that the threshold is lowered!"

When Ying Yuan heard this, he smiled and nodded.

"I have been prepared for this!"

“In fact, this is what I value most!”

"Ever since King Wuling of Zhao started to adopt the Hu clothing and horse riding, the cavalry has become the most expensive but also the most lethal unit in the army."

"But the threshold for training cavalry is too high."

"If I wasn't gifted, I wouldn't even be able to ride a horse steadily!"

"Not to mention riding and shooting and fighting on horseback!"

"But it's different with the warhorse suit. Anyone with all four limbs intact can become a qualified cavalryman as long as they keep training!"

Wang Jian smiled and nodded: "That's right, sir."

"In the past, if the cavalry wanted to recruit soldiers, they would have to choose a suitable one from among thousands of people."

"This is undoubtedly a big problem for maintaining and improving the military strength of our Great Qin."

"Fortunately, the warhorse suit that Young Master made is really useful!"

"To be honest, sir, I have already formed 10,000 new cavalrymen!"

Ying Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh, really?"

"Ten thousand?"

“That’s all pretty fast!”

"What about combat effectiveness?"

"How's the combat effectiveness?"

This is actually what he really cares about most.

The army!
In the final analysis, no matter how much investment or expenditure is involved, what really matters in the end is one thing: whether or not the fight can be won.

Being able to fight is good, but if you can't fight, it's useless.

Obviously, Ying Yuan's question hit the sore spot for Wang Jian.

Wang Jian, who had no expression on his face just now, now had a more sincere smile on his face.

"The combat effectiveness is very good!" "Just now, the old minister also said that with this warhorse suit, the threshold for recruiting cavalry has been lowered a lot."

"But on the other hand, the upper limit of cavalry has actually increased a lot!"

"With horseshoes, war horses can last several years longer."

"With saddles and stirrups, those veteran cavalrymen who are already skilled in horsemanship will be able to ride even better."

"It can be said that this 10,000-man army can definitely win a direct battle against the 30,000 original cavalry!"

Upon hearing this result, Ying Yuan was much happier.

"Since the general is so satisfied with this warhorse suit, then we can really discuss our business!"

In fact, Wang Jian had long guessed that this so-called "transaction" might be related to the war horse suit.

Otherwise, Mr. Yuan opposite would not have brought up this matter for no reason.

However, the cavalry belonged to the Qin Dynasty, not to his Wang family. How did it become a business with his Wang family?
"Please tell me in detail, I am really interested!"

In fact, it was not just Wang Jian who was interested.

Wang Ben and Wang Li, who were standing by, also pricked up their ears.

For father and son, no matter what the court or political affairs are, they are not as important as those things in the military!

Ying Yuan has kept us in suspense for so long, now it's time to unveil the truth.

"General, have you ever thought about this?"

"Cavalry is good, but the current cavalry actually has shortcomings."

"That's because they lack the ability to attack. At the same time, facing an organized crossbow formation, they can only take the beating!"

"But I have thought of a way to make up for these two shortcomings."

"I named this new type of troops Iron Pagoda!"

Just hearing this name made Wang Jian feel a shock in his heart.

Ying Yuan took out a piece of silk from his arms, spread it out on the table, and explained while pointing to the pattern he had drawn.

"Look, everyone. If we select the tallest and strongest horses from the army and pair them with the tallest and bravest warriors,

"Horses need to be fed with fine food, and people need to be trained hard!"

"At that time, the men and horses will be in armor, holding long blades and carrying swords, forming a formation and charging together!"

"Once this torrent of steel strikes, what can the crossbows and arrows do? They are nothing but a drizzle!"

"Even if there is a shield formation in front of us, it can only destroy it with ease."

"This is the Iron Pagoda, the Iron Pagoda that sweeps away everything!"

Even someone as experienced and steady as Wang Jian, his face turned red with excitement just after listening to Ying Yuan's description.

Not to mention the naive father and son, Wang Ben and Wang Li.

Especially Wang Ben, he stood up directly at this moment, punched himself on the chest left and right, and screamed wildly at the same time.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a young master of the gorilla family, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to do that.

Fortunately, after Wang Jian heard the noise, he kicked it and the situation calmed down a bit.

However, after the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat down again, they looked at Ying Yuan with extremely eager eyes.

Obviously, they understood the power of the Iron Pagoda.

Especially on the silk in front of me.

Not only are there some details of the Iron Pagoda and examples of its appearance, but also some of Ying Yuan’s ideas on the use of the Iron Pagoda.

This is not something Ying Yuan did randomly.

He combined some information left by the Western heavy cavalry and the real Iron Pagoda, and put them all together to serve as a reference for the other party.

These things may not be systematic, but they are definitely eye-opening.

For a top military strategist like Wang Jian, this glimmer of inspiration is what he needs.
