Chapter 575: Collecting the Iron Armor (Chapter 2)
The old patriarch of Hule secretly despised Cheng Biting Jin in his heart, he knew better than anyone why Fu Yun set fire to the grassland at the beginning, naturally ten thousand reasons not to believe in the Tang Army, and now it is July, Fu Yun's fire is all dry grass, after a rain on the grassland, I am afraid that it has long been restored, and there is a lack of forage.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and the old patriarch of Hule can only follow Cheng Biting Jin's nonsense: "I see, the army is coming from afar, and the wind and dust are servant, and my Hule tribe has prepared some cattle and sheep to reward the army, and please don't dislike the general." ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled on his face, accepted it without mercy, and changed his words: "In addition, I have another purpose for this trip, that is, the armor of the three thousand soldiers who died in battle in my Datang Dynasty is gone!" Once such a sharp weapon falls into the hands of some ill-intentioned people, I am afraid that it will be a great disaster, and we must do our best to recover it, and we will do this for the stability of the grassland. ”
"Three thousand armor!"
When the old patriarch heard this, he instantly understood the intentions of the Tang army, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
The reason why his party departments were able to survive between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun was that there were many powerful iron armors, and this time Tuoba Chici and the Tang Army completely exposed the strength of the party departments, and the Tang Army naturally could not tolerate the party departments having so much armor.
"But all that armor has been taken away by Tuoba Chici. I'm afraid it's already in the hands of the Celestial Empire's army! Old Patriarch Hule asked cautiously.
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "But how did General Ben hear, this time there are many party tribes leaving with many iron armor, I don't know if these iron armor is the armor of our soldiers, Hule patriarch rest assured, General Ben just needs to take a look, as long as it is not, immediately return it as it is." ”
The old patriarch of Hule rolled his eyes helplessly, if the iron armor fell into the hands of the Tang army, I am afraid that it would be a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth, how could it be possible.
"Why don't you let the old man personally persuade the Hulan tribe." The old patriarch of Hule said helplessly.
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "That's not necessary, I believe that the Hulan tribe will definitely make a wise choice." ”
When Cheng Yanjin and the old patriarch of Hule appeared in front of the leader of Hulan together, the leader of Hulan suddenly looked at the old patriarch of Hule with hopeful eyes.
The old patriarch shook his head helplessly, and opened his mouth to say a number.
"Five hundred iron armor! Where would the Hulan tribe have so much iron armor! The leader of Hulan exclaimed. In order to repay the kindness of the Tuoba tribe, he directly gave half of the iron armor in the tribe to Tuoba Chici, and now there are only three hundred iron armor left in the clan, and he can't take out five hundred iron armor no matter what.
Cheng Yanjin said coldly: "The Hulan tribe was very generous when they gave away the iron armor, why are they so stingy now." ”
If these tribes hadn't armed the Tuoba tribe, otherwise they would definitely have been able to defeat the Tuoba tribe with smaller losses, and Cheng Yanjin certainly didn't have a good impression of these tribes.
"But my Hulan tribe doesn't have so much iron armor at all." The leader of Hulan gritted his teeth and said.
Cheng Yanjin said indifferently: "There is no iron armor that can be made up with leather armor, five leather armor is worth one iron armor, but at least thirty percent of the iron armor!" ”
In the grassland, although leather wallets are common, they are not shoddy, but a lot of leather armor is mixed with a lot of iron tools, and the value of five leather armor is almost the same as that of iron armor.
"Otherwise, our army will personally enter the tribe to search, and not a single piece of iron will be left for the Hulan tribe." Cheng Biting Jin withdrew his hand, and Morton stepped forward and personally demonstrated the effect of the magnet in front of the leader of Hulan.
Immediately dispelled the last illusion of the Hulan leader, in a hurry, those iron armor can't be hidden at all, if you take the initiative to hand it over, you can save a little iron armor, otherwise the loss will be more, the Hulan tribe will not hurt the muscles and bones if they lose their armor, if even the bow and arrow and sword are taken away, it will be a catastrophe.
"Three hundred and fifty pieces of iron armor, that's equivalent to one thousand seven hundred and fifty pieces of leather armor!" The leader of Hulan couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and in this way, the strength of his Hulan tribe instantly dropped to the lowest point.
The leader of Hulan didn't think of resisting, but seeing so many Tang troops here, the Hulan tribe had no power to resist at all, plus the Tang army did not touch the bottom line of the Hulan tribe, and did not kill people and rob cattle and sheep and other wealth, so he could only obediently hand over one hundred and fifty pieces of iron armor and one thousand seven hundred and fifty pieces of leather armor!
After Cheng biting the gold and counting the iron armor and leather armor, he nodded, and turned his head to report to Li Jing.
"So much ironclad?" Li Jing exclaimed, the Hulan tribe directly gave Tuoba Chici three hundred iron armors, and took out one hundred and fifty pieces of iron armor, one tribe has so many iron armors, then the entire party of dozens of tribes may not be underestimated!
The other generals also nodded, and for the first time they paid attention to the party departments, and they couldn't help but be glad that they had followed Merton's advice this time, otherwise the party departments would definitely be a potential threat in the future.
"General Qiqi! In my opinion, the Hulan tribe must have iron armor, or they will be forced again. Cheng Yanjin said eagerly.
Li Jing shook his head and said: "No need, the purpose of our waiting is to weaken the strength of the various tribes of the party, and the cavalry that has lost the protection of iron armor is not much of a threat to my Datang." ”
Even if the Hulan tribe can stay some, it will be very few, and there is not much threat at all, so why force the Hulan tribe to a dead end, the generals also nodded one after another.
Watching the Tang army roar past, the leader of Hulan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Chief, shall we inform the other tribes and hide the iron armor in advance?" A warrior of the Hulan tribe said hatefully, his entire iron armor was taken away by the Tang army.
The leader of Hulan glared at this person hatefully, and said: "Now that my Hulan tribe has lost so much iron armor, its strength has dropped greatly, if other tribes are strong, then it will definitely be my Hulan tribe that will suffer in the end." ”
The grassland is not a pure land, the competition between tribes is also particularly cruel, in order to compete for water and pasture, the battle on the grassland can be said to be often fighting, from time to time there will be some small tribes silently disappear in the grassland.
The Tang army marched all the way north, and under the threat of strong force, all the tribes handed in their full iron and leather armor, even the Hule tribe.
When Li Jing's army arrived in Lanzhou, it had collected nearly 10,000 pieces of iron armor and 30,000 leather armor, and such a powerful force made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Just when Li Jing was in the land of Qingtang and confiscated a large number of iron armors of various tribes, the battle of Yehu Gorge spread throughout Chang'an City, and the people were angry, scolding Li Daoyan for being incompetent, and the court was in an uproar.
