"Three months ago, our Kongkong Island intercepted a cargo ship at sea. The cargo ship was actually full of armors!"
When Wu Zhi heard this, he frowned immediately!
People who have never been in the military will never know what armor means.
Nowadays, whether it is the Song Dynasty in the south or the Jin Kingdom in the north, many countries.
The imperial court did not restrict people in the arena from carrying weapons, but the imperial court explicitly prohibited anyone from casting or selling armor in any form.
Once caught, he will be sentenced to death regardless of the reason!
It is forbidden to ban armor but not soldiers. This has been a law since ancient times and is also the foundation of the country.
This does not mean that weapons are easy to forge, but that with armor, the effectiveness of weapons will be greatly weakened.
The quality of a pair of armor determines the combat quality of an army!
To use the simplest analogy, a group of peasant rebels are holding sharp weapons in their hands. They are not wearing armor. Half of these people are capable of martial arts.
But even so, they still couldn't climb the city wall.
Because what they faced first was arrows like a rainstorm!
However, if none of these people know martial arts, they all wear armor and hold shields in their hands.
As long as they undergo some training and experience some damage, at least a quarter of them will climb the city wall.
These are Wu Zhi’s personal experiences and do not accept any refutation.
Wu Zhi immediately asked: "Where will these armors be shipped to in the end?"
Bai Qianqian wanted to play Wu Zhi again and said, "Guess".
But seeing Wu Zhi's solemn expression, he immediately changed his words and said, "Jingzhao Mansion, Chang'an!"
When Wu Zhi heard this, his face suddenly changed: "No, General Zhong is in danger!"
Chang'an is a place forgotten by the Song Dynasty.
When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he had an idea.
That is to move the capital to Luoyang first, and then continue westward to Chang'an.
However, this idea was rejected by his younger brother Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.
The foundation of the Song Dynasty was to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats.
To put it bluntly, it is a country governed by men of letters.
If the capital was built in Chang'an, Lao Zhao's family would not be able to suppress the major wealthy families in Longxi.
It is bound to take more time and energy to build a more elite force.
This is what Zhao Guangyi doesn't want to see. He is actually more afraid of the generals' rebellion than Zhao Kuangyi!
The emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were all of the Zhao Guangyi lineage.
The descendants of Zhao Kuangyin were basically suppressed in the south.
Because of this, they thoroughly implemented the so-called foundation of governing the country together with the scholar-bureaucrats.
To the west of Tongguan, although Qinchuan is 800 miles away, it is still under the control of the Song Dynasty.
But over the years, the Song Dynasty paid little attention to this place.
The reason why foreigners dare not invade here is because there are famous generals such as Zhongshi Dao and countless elite soldiers guarding it.
For all foreign races, if they want to take over the Guanzhong area, they must first kill Zhongshidao!
The first time Wu Zhi returned to Qixiu Pavilion, he asked Bai Sheng to hurry up and deliver the news to Zhongshi Dao.
However, there is no Wu Zhi's intelligence station in Chang'an, so the falcon cannot reach it.
It can only be expedited for 800 miles.
However, when Wu Zhi's men rode horses and just passed Tongguan, the city of Chang'an was already in chaos!
The flames of war are like sparks that have been hidden in the forest for a long time, igniting all the dry trees in an instant!
In less than an hour, half of Chang'an City had been captured by a sudden force.
Early morning, Chang'an Nancheng, Mingde Gate.
A lieutenant, covered in blood, limped up to the tower.
He clasped his hands into fists and looked at the tall figure in front of him with a cold face.
"General! The thieves are too strong and too numerous. We are no match for them. Let's withdraw!"
