Following the successful test of the new catapult, Captain Li seized the momentum and proudly produced the Cavalry Three-piece Set prepared for the cavalry: the horseshoe, the stirrup, and the improved saddle. The surrounding soldiers curiously gathered around, speculating on what magic these three items might hold.
General Ma looked at the three items and asked with a puzzled look, "Captain Li, are these what you call the Cavalry Three-piece Set? They look novel indeed, but what exactly do they do?"
Captain Li smiled and explained, "General, this horseshoe protects the hooves, reducing damage to horses during long-distance charges; the stirrup allows cavalrymen to be much more secure on horseback, unleashing greater power in combat; and the improved saddle makes riding much more comfortable so that long hours of fighting won't be too exhausting."
