Chapter 218. Wang Jiajun
Since the autumn of this year, the all-out war of the Cao clan in the Central Plains against the Yuan clan in Hebei has sounded the battle horn, and Wang Hou naturally cannot be left alone in the Cao armed group, and in the cold winter of December 202 AD, he finally sounded the battle horn, lit up the soldiers and horses, and joined the huge war.
Former Army.
Even if he is often dissatisfied with Wang Hou's peaceful farming policy by the sea, Jia Xu still has to admit that today's Qingzhou Wang Jiajun is much more imposing than when it was just pulled out of Langya Country more than a year ago, and in the cold winter, Wang's forward heavy infantry is wearing a thick cotton jacket, a set of chain mail, and a plate armor as strong as two turtle shells on the outside, and a cast iron helmet lined with cotton on his head, squeaking and trampling on the snow like an iron man, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Even at this time, the halberd they resisted had changed their style, from the original divination-shaped ancient halberd to the Swedish halberd, or axe gun, that Wang Hou had seen on TV before he crossed.
Not Wang Hou admired the foreign flattery, from the time, the halberd is the product left over from the pre-Qin chariot war era, and the axe gun is the sixteenth and seventeenth century with firearms with the cold weapon, on performance, the role of the halberd is far greater than the chopping and smashing, because the halberd itself is evolved from Ge, in fact, the meaning of the war is more to hook down the royal hand on the galloping chariot, but the infantry beat each other, in Wang Hou's observation, in addition to the front stab, the tactical action of slashing down with a small branch is more, this tactical action, In addition to the complicated and heavy Fang Tian painting halberd, the Chinese halberd is really inferior to this Western halberd with a small axe.
Now is a troubled time, of course, you can take whatever is easy to use! Besides, now Wang Hou has too many Swedish halberds, maybe this thing will have to be called a Chinese halberd in the hands of archaeologists in later generations!
There were 400 people in a department, of which 200 were equipped with this kind of axe and gun, and the other 200 were carrying double-bowed steel crossbows, wearing chain mail, carrying a ring-headed knife at their waists, and the small round shield with Wang Hou's characteristic characteristics on his left arm was not lost.
It's not that Wang Hou is stingy and doesn't equip them with plate armor, in fact, the cost of plate armor is much cheaper than chain mail, but this thing is too heavy, which seriously affects flexibility, and Wang Hou's crossbow swordsmen are fighting in a way that supports light infantry, and they don't need to stand in the front row against the rain of bullets, just use a double bow and crossbow to sneak attack in the back, the crossbow arrows are shot out, the crossbow is thrown to the ground, and the sword is pulled out to cut the enemy from the side or gap, and the defense of the chain mail is enough to support them in battle, not to mention that there is a left-handed shield to support at the critical moment.
The cavalry and archers were organized separately in Wang Hou's place, and there were two additional cavalry divisions equipped with plate armor, led by Zhang Liao, and 1,200 good archers selected from the Taishan thieves were equipped with wallets led by Zang Hong, with a total of 7,000 soldiers.
In addition, there are more than 7,000 reserve troops, and more than 400 vehicles are specially responsible for transporting food supplies, such a well-equipped and high-morale army, even in Jia Xu's eyes, is better than Xu Du Cao's elite soldiers in the overlord!
This is the army that is fighting for hegemony in the world, looking at the fact that even the war horses are wearing cotton-lined vests, snorting past in front of him, Jia Poison Shi felt that his blood was boiling, and then he tied the cotton helmet to the head with a very sense of ceremony, shaking the frozen nail leaves, and also turned over on the horse.
On the other end, Wang Hou is a little slower.
"I'm going to bother you to take care of the house again!"
Cao Hongjie's girl approved her special cotton women's armor early, dressed like Mulan, and stood beside her, and it was naturally impossible to send her to look after the house! Full of helplessness, Wang Hou had no choice but to slam his fist at Lu Ji.
However, compared to the eldest lady's Cao Hongjie, Lu Ji is really much more mature, and her thorn skirt is also blown in the cold wind, but her red little face is full of seriousness, and she is extremely serious and carries her skirt back to Wang Hou.
"The husband kills the thief for the country! The concubine can do her best, it is already a supreme glory, how dare you say that you are tired? ”
"The master can go by himself, the concubine will be broken, and he will guard this home for the master!"
Seeing her immature face full of determination, Wang Houqing couldn't help but become moved, maybe this is the kind of love he has been pursuing before crossing over, and silently supporting you behind your back!
Suddenly, the heart suddenly rose impulsively, in Lu Ji's exclamation, Wang Hou actually hugged her violently, this way of expressing feelings, in this era is too bold and avant-garde, the soldiers around him and the civil officials who saw him off were all staring in disbelief, but no one said a word, even Zhao Yun, who followed Wang Hou's side, was quite regretful to fall on the wife and soft child who was also sent off.
After patting Lu Ji on the shoulder, Wang Hou finally let go of her, and in her excited gaze with a blushing little face, this time, Wang Hou didn't turn his head back, turned over his horse, and raised his whip violently.
"March!"
Sen Sen Tiejun stepped on the frozen snow road, faced the heavy snow and walked out of this seaside port built by Wang Hou himself grimly and mightily, passing by and throwing it in the snow, because the reserve troops dispatched the primary school that had stopped work, he couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.
"When I come back this time, the elementary school should be built too!"
"By the way, what about Ying?"
From the time he sent the troops to the present, Wang Hou has always felt that something is missing, and after sighing, he looked back and saw that he was also Wen Wan riding on a horse to accompany his wife, and he patted his head at this time, as if he had forgotten his captain of the guard.
But when Zhuge Ying was mentioned, Cao Hongjie's little face couldn't help but appear sour, and his chin was a little annoyed.
"Your little beauty!"
Stunned, Wang Hou was quite a little crying and laughing, no wonder this girl didn't ride a horse to follow, on the ox cart of the rear team, Zhuge Ying was like a stupid girl, hugging a big steel pillar that was freezing cold!
This time, he didn't have a trebuchet with him, but only the four thick and long steel pillars weighing half a ton and erected them on the ox cart.
"Let's hope the god of war lives up to his name!"
Looking at these heavy guys, Wang Hou's pupils also showed a burst of heat, and suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted loudly at Zhuge Ying, who was holding the steel pillar and refused to let go.
"Hey! You taste it, this thing was specially made before it came out, and it can be used to make soup when there is no military ration, it is sweet! ”
"Evil?"
Stunned, her eyes widened, driven by curiosity, Zhuge Ying didn't think about it, she stretched out her lilac tongue and licked it, but in the next second, this girl had a bitter face, her tongue stuck to the surface of the steel, and she laughed sadly with her small mouth open.
Almost fell off the horse without fun! turned around, and when Cao Hongjie helplessly took out the wine jug and shook his head, he slammed a horsewhip on the horse's buttocks.
"Drive!"
…………
The last time was mainly to test weapons and robbery, the first battle of Langya was also a militia regiment fighting a bandit group, this time the troops, in the real sense, Wangzhou Muqingzhou debut! Now the Yuan clan seems to be really thinning, starting from the seaside, all the way to the north, Wang Hou did not even encounter an army to block, and after marching in the ice and snow for four days, he successfully arrived under the counties.
This can be regarded as a big county fortress, the wall is eight meters high, the cyan Han bricks are frozen with frost, but you can still see the traces left by the swords, guns, swords and halberds on it, such a vast snowy day, tens of thousands of troops suddenly came to the city, obviously hit the Yuan defenders by surprise, the city, the defenders with bows and arrows panicked like ants on the hot pot.
It is estimated that this is also the debut of the god of war in the late Han Dynasty, the four big guys are facing the gate of Zhucheng County heavily, a Wang Zi Daxu majestically hit the head, one foot stepped on the muzzle, Wang Hou arrogantly roared at the city.
"Your Majesty is personally sealed, the king of Qingzhou is ordered to beg the thief to come here, you will open the city and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......"
Creak.......
It's not done yet! The gate of Zhucheng County, which had been closed with a hula, simply creaked open, and more than a dozen old men ran out crying wolves.
"Wang Zhoumu, we want to kill you!"
