"Building a reserve warehouse? What did the Chen family say?" Ma Fengsun frowned and looked at Zong Laosan aside: "Old Zong, is it reliable for that girl from the Chen family to keep her mouth shut?"
"A group of people gather in a building instead of fighting, why don't they go to build a reserve warehouse?"
"Uncle Ma, be careful." But Zhang Renxian was dissatisfied. "The Chen family's sister is his unmarried wife. How could she be so rude?"
"Besides, my sister has already analyzed it. The sudden rise of the building is probably not Zhu Su's plan."
"Children think they have a plan, but they try to do the opposite!"
Ma Fengsun was startled and looked at Zong Laosan again. Zong Laosan nodded: "Lan Zhai Yao Chun Chun. Little thief Zhu Su razed everything around the building to the ground."
"Standing at the top of that building, you have a panoramic view! If they don't attack by force, they will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"I didn't even think about breaking up the building by force at first, but the Princess of the Chen family said it was not the little thief's plan."
"After burning down the reserve warehouse and depriving themselves of food, the group of refugees in the west of the city must have become restless again. Even though they have gone around a bit, they are still the same."
"Besides, those who can give orders to the puppet government are still staying in that building tomorrow!"
"Please pick up the soft persimmons. The reserve warehouse must be leaderless now..."
"..." Ma Fengsun thought about it for a while, and then said that is not wrong. "...It means he can't kill the little thief Zhu Su himself. He is really not willing to do so."
"Bu Nao just allows him to live a few more months." Zhang Ren sneered. "When my second brother comes back, I will take Zhu Su's son's sacrificial flag and formally raise his troops to resist the Ming Dynasty!"
Speaking of the second son of the Zhang family who is not here, for some reason, all the members of the Zhang family who were originally a little hesitant became energetic again.
They said on the other side that the things carried in the carriage over there had been unloaded one by one. In addition to the weapons, there were actually pieces of armor that shone with a cold light. There were even pieces of armor. He dragged out two pieces of walking armor made of thousands of iron armor leaves and nails. In the dim light of the fire, they looked like ferocious beasts that chose people to eat.
"I actually made so many good things!" Zong Laosan looked at Ma Fengsun in shock.
"Those things are not easy to get rid of." Ma Fengsun raised his head and said proudly: "There are more than fifty pieces of iron armor! It's enough to defeat the enemy!"
"Those two pieces of armor were made secretly according to the style of the former Song Dynasty. They are indestructible to swords and swords when worn on the body!"
"Don't even try to grab it. I would like to wear one of those pieces of armor, young master."
"I'm very strong, so I'll wear the other one!" Zong Laosan's eyes shone. "In that battle, if I hadn't beheaded Dong Shi Yuan Ming Gou, I would have written the name "Zong" upside down from now on!
Looking at those armors, a group of people felt that they were not confident after a short battle. Here they were a hundred steps away from the government office's preparation warehouse, and they put on the armors directly here.
A group of people in the yard were fighting high-spirited, but no one noticed that there was a person hiding in the darkness at the crown of a crooked tree outside the yard, quietly watching the situation in the yard.
Are you secretly following the Jin Yiwei behind the Ma family's motorcade?
The Ma family took advantage of the New Year's Eve. Most people stayed at home to observe the New Year's Eve and went out. They took small roads. They thought they were safe. However, they did not expect that there was no one on the road on New Year's Eve, but their team of carriages and horses were also empty. He looked so conspicuous that he couldn't get rid of his tail even if he tried. There were naturally many spies among the Jinyi Guards, and he followed them to the courtyard easily.
"Surprisingly... there are so many armors..."
"We must inform Colonel Di immediately..."
The spy was secretly frightened, quietly touched the east tree, and hurried to report to Di Meng who was setting up an ambush.
Di Meng, along with Cao Yuan and the more than a thousand "surrendering troops" borrowed from the Suzhou Guards, were waiting in the government office when they suddenly received news from the spy, and were shocked.
"Did I say that the thieves are actually very capable?"
"No. We can't see clearly in the dark sky, but from a rough look, there must be dozens of them!" the Jin Yiwei spy reported.
"More than dozens..." Di Meng frowned, and Cao Yuan's expression behind him changed drastically. But this was unexpected. They never thought that the thief would have the background and strength to gather dozens of armors.
.
As the saying goes, "One armor carries three crossbows, and three armors enter the underworld." This is different from the "restrictions on swords" that ordinary people think. In ancient times, the imperial court did not strictly regulate sharp-edged weapons such as swords.
After all, the living environment of the people in ancient times was harsh, and there were snakes, insects, and beasts on the road in the mountains. It was normal to find a blacksmith shop to make a sword for self-defense. Even if there were occasional government restrictions, it was difficult to implement them. After all, they were not weapons at all.
Whether it is a kitchen knife or a pig-killing knife, it depends on how the person wants to use it.
But armor is different. Regardless of the past dynasties, armor is one of the weapons that the imperial government "strictly prohibits" civilian possession. It is even more feared by the imperial court than the most lethal weapon "crossbow". Hidden armor is one
, then it must be supported by three military crossbows. If the number of hidden armors reaches three, it should be punished as a crime of rebellion, and it can be chopped directly at the entrance of the vegetable market.
The reason is that, of course, armor is an armament. Ordinary people do not need to hide armor at all, unless they have a heart. The other reason is that armor is a weapon in battle. In war, wearing full armor can often be used.
Exhibiting extremely terrifying strength.
A strong general wearing pierced armor can often defeat dozens of soldiers wearing leather armor and cotton uniforms. The pierced armor sword made of fine iron is difficult to damage, so it is necessary to protect the injured area, and it can often be used freely in the enemy's formation.
Slashing and killing are invincible; if you use soldiers to rush into the battle, you can often strike fear into the enemy and even win with less:
During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, King of Qin, personally led his armored cavalry with 3,500 men directly into the 100,000-strong military formation of the Zheng-Xia coalition. The 100,000 killed were immediately dispersed, and the two kings were captured in one battle;
During the Song Dynasty, infantrymen wore "infantry armor" to resist cavalry on foot. They actually managed to save the country of the Song Dynasty in the cracks between two great cavalry powers.
Even later when Nurhachi, the Tatar ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, raised an army, his greatest reliance was only thirteen pairs of armor. Soon it was cotton armor inlaid with iron plates: Zheng Chenggong, the surnamed Jiao, relied on the heavy armored infantry under his command to resist the Qing Dynasty.
The "Iron Man Army" of the legion. During the Battle of Taiwan, those soldiers even launched more than a dozen charges under fire from foreign guns, and helped Zheng Chenggong regain the entire Taiwan.
"There are so many armors... His army is only equipped with leather armors!" Qianhu Cao Yuan's face turned a little pale. The Suzhou Guards also had armors, but they had always been disliked by Yang Lu. Why?
Can you equip them with extremely valuable armor?
"If they hadn't charged in with armor, they might not have been able to withstand it." Di Meng also thought.
Their original plan was to set up an ambush in the government office, wait for the thieves to enter, and then suddenly rush out, relying on their own more than a thousand people to close the door and beat the dogs, so that the thieves who had finally been lured out would be brought to the blame.
Finished.
But now it seems that even if they kill the thieves by surprise, they can still rely on the dozens of soldiers to rush into the reserve warehouse and set fire to the food.
I remembered that when Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong trained them, he once taught them that battle formations are constantly changing. Even if they are fully prepared, they may be disrupted by some emergencies. Does Di Meng now have a deep understanding of this?
.
"General Di, what should we do?" Cao Yuan asked Di Meng.
"...I'm going to ask Mr. Yao for instructions now. I'm afraid it's too late..." Di Meng gritted his teeth. He forced himself to put away his panic and thought of ways to make up for the situation.
The Duke of Guo once said that at this time, the most important thing is for the general to stay calm and make an early decision. No matter whether the decision is wise or not, it is better than messing up the position first!
"Send someone to ask for help from the Suzhou Guards!" Di Meng had already made up his mind. He decided to overturn the strategy that Mr. Yao and Dian Dong had ordered in advance. He took the responsibility himself and used his own judgment to achieve the strategic goals set by Dian Dong.
.
"General Cao, take the people and follow him."
Since we are worried about them using heavy armor to rush into the formation, we can just ask for the depth of the military formation to be thicker.
"Abandon the ambush strategy, they go outside and use their majestic army to annihilate the thieves head-on!"
