"Why is there only one stirrup?"
Ning Feng looked at her even more puzzledly:
"Of course it was to help get on the horse."
Hyun is still a little puzzled.
Ning Feng saw that she was puzzled and demonstrated to her personally. After getting on the horse, he stopped stepping on the stirrups and walked a few steps in the field and asked Hyun:
"Do you understand? There were no stirrups before, but because the saddle bridge continues to grow, it is getting more and more difficult to get on the horse, so stirrups are used to help get on the horse."
Xuan understood that the stirrups at this time were just for getting on and off the horse. No wonder when he studied "The Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", a veteran Lian Po performed "a trophy of rice, ten kilograms of meat, and was put on a horse by armor to show that he was still good." At that time, he was wondering, showing that he could be used if he could be used if he could be used if he was on the horse? Now he finally knows that wearing armor without stirrups is really not easy for an elderly person to jump on a horse. Although the saddle of Lian Po's era has not yet increased the saddle bridge, it is still not easy.
With Ning Feng's demonstration, Xuan easily got on the horse, but his feet were habitually stepped on the stirrups.
Ning Feng corrected:
"If you get on the horse, you don't have to step on the stirrups."
Xuan nodded repeatedly and stepped back. This time, when he took the halberd and stabbed the grass man, he felt much better than before. Although there was still a risk of being pushed down, it would be much safer to lower the center of gravity and rely on the strength of his arms to sting. Moreover, Xuan also noticed that Ning Feng said that he should not hold it too tightly. If he felt that there was danger of being pushed down, he could let go of his hand. Although it was very dangerous to lose a weapon on the battlefield, it was at least much safer than being pushed down.
After trying several times, it felt better and better. Ning Yan screamed and threw a spear at her.
When trying again with a spear, the reaction force is much smaller than that of a halberd, but there is another problem. The halberd has a halberd blade, which can prevent the halberd from being inserted into the human body too deep, so that it cannot be pulled out in time, but the spear did not. Xun stabbed the spear directly into the grass man's body several times, but failed to pull it out.
After stopping luck, I asked Ning Feng and Ning Feng:
"This spear is too deep and cannot be pulled out in time on the battlefield. It will be fatal if you lose your weapons."
Ning Feng grabbed the horse under her lower body, walked to her side, took the spear and said:
"The spear head used in combat will be wrapped with metal, sluts, or banners to prevent the insertion from being too deep. The cavalry will bring a few more spears and will also have knives."
Hyun thought about it and saw it on TV that cavalry hang a big knife or other weapon on their waists, and several spears tied to the side of the saddle.
Ning Feng saw Xuan thinking, and looked at her feet stepping into the stirrup again. He noticed just now that Xuan was a habit of stepping on the stirrup, especially when it was impacted, his feet almost never left the stirrup. He also tried several times and found that stepping into the stirrup can help better, and it is more comfortable than hanging his legs:
No wonder Xuan asked why there was only one stirrup, but how did she find it? How did she know when everyone treated the stirrup as a tool for up and down the horse?
He looked at Xuan, who had already run to talk to Ning Yan with confusion.
As for the current discovery, the earliest single stirrup appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Shuangmadeng appeared in the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms. I don’t know who said that “war promoted the development and progress of science and technology”. The period from the appearance of single stirrup to double stirrup, less than a hundred years later, war was a bastard, but sometimes we have to respect this damn bastard! Now people are not sure whether the stirrup was transmitted from the horse-riding nation to the non-horse nation, or the non-horse nation to the horse-riding nation. However, it can be confirmed that the appearance of stirrup, uh, in the words of the information, "has epoch-making significance!" not only changed people’s riding and fighting methods, but also promoted the development of heavy armored cavalry in Western Europe after the introduction of stirrups into Europe, and also helped the formation of the feudal knight class and had a long-standing impact on the history of the medieval European history.
