Chapter 104: The Iron Armor is Sonorous

The rumbling drum suddenly remembered.

I don't know how many big drums were beating together, and there were countless soldiers shouting in the city. But I saw Li Dachuan striding forward with 500 soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding long knives.

Li Dachuan rushed to the front.

His outfit was given by Zhu Qizhen.

This is also one of the benefits of the imperial guards, Zhu Qizhen is never stingy with the imperial guards around him. Each one is made of armor. The quality of Zhu Qizhen's armor is not much different, but there is no gold leaf on it.

You can bring it with you when you are transferred from the Imperial Guard.

It can be said that the best armor technology of the Ming Dynasty was first tested on the armor of the imperial guards.

Out of trust in the armor on his body, Li Dachuan did not defend at all and let others cut himself. It's always about exchanging a knife with someone else

But the problem is that few of these Jurchen soldiers have iron armor, after all, the Ming Dynasty has always restricted the iron materials outside the pass, and there are more pieces of armor among the Jurchen tribes. There are even many more who are not armoured.

Therefore, when someone else slashed Li Dachuan, the flames flew, and Li Dachuan slashed others, which was a knife.

Moreover, Li Dachuan is good at martial arts, and he also reacts to the front line when he cuts others, so that the opponent's knife has not yet fallen on the armor, so he will kill others first.

Therefore, on the battlefield of cold weapons, the soldiers are strong and sharp, which is a real wise saying.

At the beginning, there were still people who resisted Li Dachuan, but seeing that Li Dachuan was invulnerable and murderous, they lost their courage one by one, and they didn't dare to turn around and fight with Li Dachuan at all.

One by one, they turned around and ran.

Li Dachuan strode forward, and whoever caught up was a knife.

For a while, there was a thunderous cheer above the city, and the head of Haixi City shouted: "General Li." ”

Daming is three hundred steps.

Although Li Dachuan didn't lead many people, breaking through the distance of 300 steps was like chopping vegetables and cutting melons.

And what is three hundred steps outside the city walls? Back to the cannon.

Li Dachuan rushed into the return cannon and set the return cannon on fire one by one.

However, this time the cannon was not too easy to ignite.

All siege equipment has been set on fire, although this fire prevention treatment is very simple, but it is still very effective, that is, the wet mud is spread on the surface of the siege equipment.

Make it difficult for siege engines to ignite.

So when Li Dachuan had just tried to ignite several return cannons, the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry also rushed over.

"Kill." The cavalry, dressed in Turkic-style iron armor, rushed forward.

I was a little angry at first.

Although he didn't expect that Haixi City could be attacked once, which was also unrealistic, but the development of things was too much of a slap in the face.

Hundreds of people dared to fall from the city wall and burn back the artillery.

I really thought that there were warriors in the Southern Dynasties, but there were no warriors in the Watts.

This time, the Tile Spur Headquarters was released.

The combat effectiveness of the Tile Spur Headquarters and the Jurchens is really not the same.

Because on the battlefield, all kinds of siege equipment are rampant, and there are corpse trenches, it is not easy for the iron cavalry to cross and horizontle, so these tile iron cavalry do not hesitate to dismount and fight.

"Dangdang." The sound of gold suddenly sounded.

Li Dachuan naturally didn't say a word, and ordered a retreat.

But the Tile Thorn Iron Rider had already bitten it.

Li Dachuan's thorn iron rider is wearing face armor, leaving only two gaps, and the whole person is like an iron man. Just know it's not good.

Li Dachuan faced such a tin can, and the long knife in his hand was not easy to use.

You have to cut it into the gap in the armor in order to kill effectively, otherwise it will be just like the Jurchen soldiers cut him just now, just a flash of fire.

When Li Dachuan felt that the guy in his hand was not taking advantage of it, he also discovered that the Tile Thorn Iron Rider had actually been prepared.

Their weapons rarely consisted of such things as knives and spears, but mostly blunt weapons, iron rods, maces, hammers, flails, etc., all of which had a characteristic.

That is, they all use smashing, and blunt objects are ignoring armor. There is only a shallow pit in the armor, but it is an unbearable internal injury to the person in the armor.

That is, this is an army that is specifically designed for armored cavalry.

Their target was never light cavalry, heavy cavalry or heavy infantry.

Li Dachuan grabbed two hammers with his keen skills.

It's just that the hammer building process is extremely rough, which makes Li Dachuan nostalgic for playing the golden gourd of the Han general when he was in front of the imperial guard.

The so-called gourd, in fact, is a weapon, it should be called a gourd hammer, which is now mostly used for ceremonial purposes, but it is not impossible to fight.

It's like the Mo knife, which has been used for ceremonial purposes for a long time, and it is not that it cannot be used to kill, but the difference is who can use it and what environment it can use.

Li Dachuan held two iron hammers, and every time he smashed a person, he smashed a shallow mark on the chest of the tile spur iron horseman, and this tile spur iron horse fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and couldn't stop convulsing.

For a while, he couldn't die, but his internal organs had ruptured.

Not to mention the time, even now, it is difficult to save it

It's just that under the same situation, Li Dachuan's subordinates are also suffering. From the pursuit of the city to the return of the artillery, Li Dachuan's subordinates died in battle.

But when retreating, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was almost one-to-one.

This is still the case that Li Dachuan has been controlling the rhythm of the battle after the back break.

Just when Li Dachuan withdrew to the sheep and horse wall, a group of Ming troops suddenly stood up behind the sheep and horse wall. They were armed with firearms and took turns firing.

In general, it is similar to the three-stage attack of the Western Ocean.

It's just that

It's just a difference in the details.

This burst of fire stunned the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry at close range, knocking over forty or fifty people, and the following was naturally stunned.

Under the response of the firecrackers, Li Dachuan returned to the city wall.

As soon as he got on the city wall, Li Dachuan felt safe, so he took off his armor, but saw that he was sweating profusely and soaking wet, as if he had been fished out of warm water. I was so numb that I didn't want to move.

Li Dachuan's physical strength was overdrawn.

In this pursuit, the battle was not long, and Li Dachuan led his troops to chase three hundred paces, and then retreated.

But this short activity distance, coupled with dozens of catties of iron armor on the body, is already a burden, not to mention that there are many battles in it.

This is the problem of iron armor, and even iron cavalry.

The duration of the battle was a little too short.

Jiao Li gave Li Dachuan a jar of wine, and Li Dachuan didn't say a word, but drank it all. Taking advantage of this time, Jiao Li counted the number of people.

There were 500 armor soldiers who went down to the city, but only about 300 people came up, and more than 100 people died under the city.

Jiao Li was secretly frightened, but he also knew that such a war could not be fought in Haixi City anymore.

You must know that this kind of heavy armor warriors are the elite of the elite, and the 30,000 soldiers in the entire Haixi plus the Jurchen warriors brought back by Shi Heng can do it without more than 3,000 people wearing heavy armor to kill nature.

Converted into more than 100 people at once, although the number is small, it is not something that Haixi can afford.

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining morale in the midst of the siege, the first battle would have to get off to a good start to cheer people up. Jiao Li didn't dare to make such a cost.

didn't know that Jiao Li was distressed. I was also distressed at first.

There may not be 3,000 soldiers among the 30,000 people in Haixi Town. But for Yexian, the whole of Mongolia can also mobilize as many as four or five hundred thousand horsemen.

But it was also a fundamental horse, but it was 30,000 horsemen.

Because these 30,000 cavalry are all heavy cavalry, armor soldiers, and the only remaining heavy cavalry in the whole of Mongolia. It is the core of the core of the tile spur department, and there have always been 10,000 cavalry guarding Mobei, 10,000 cavalry following and fighting first, and 10,000 cavalry stationed in various places.

It is also the heart of the henchman, the tile spur.

The peripheral people and horses will not care how many people die first, after all, on the early grassland, if there is food, there is no fear that no one will be a soldier. But these core centaurs are one less dead.

Today two hundred people were lost at once.

It's like a thorn in the heart. Because when the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry was used to fight other steppe tribes, it was always hopeless and disadvantageous, and there were even few casualties.

But in the next small encounter in Haixi City, it will lose so much. If he goes south one day, what will he look like?

Let him fully realize one thing.

There are two kinds of countries in this world, one is the Ming Dynasty and the other is the other.
