Chapter 348: No Armor and No Shield

On the night when Zhu Hao asked Xu Chu to recall Gao Shun, Gao Shun returned to Yansui in a hurry.

After Zhu Hao saw Gao Shun, he hurriedly spoke:

"General Gao, this king summoned you back because he has something important to tell you!"

"Compared to this way, you have also seen, the Mongolian cavalry is raging around, this king wants you to form heavy infantry, I don't know how long it will take you to train to take shape?"

"What equipment do you need?"

Because Zhu Hao knew Gao Shun's skills, he didn't ask Gao Shun if he could complete the task at all, but directly asked Gao Shun about the time he needed and the equipment he needed.

Gao Shun listened to Zhu Hao's words and groaned slightly:

"Your Highness, this formation of heavy infantry, the last general does have some experience, I don't know how long His Highness can give the last general?"

Zhu Hao listened to Gao Shun's words, groaned slightly, and then stretched out a finger.

Seeing this, Gao Shun clenched his fists and said:

"A year's time, this time, no problem, will be able to train in the end!"

Zhu Hao listened to Gao Shun's words, shook his head directly, and said:

"General Gao, you misunderstood, what this king said is ......"

Zhu Hao's words were not finished, and Gao Shun said with a difficult face:

"One month, this time is too tight, and the end will not be sure!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Hao's words, shook his head again, and said with a serious face:

"No, this king can't give you a month, this king will give you ten days at most!"

"This king wants this heavy infantry, not for the future, but for the cavalry to repel the Tartars now!"

"In a month's time, even if this king can give it to you, those murderous Tartars, and the poor people around, can't give it to you!"

Zhu Hao said with a slight sigh and said:

"Just say if you can finish it!"

"Hope is all on you, General Gao Yansui City and the surrounding people, but they all look at your heavy infantry!"

Gao Shun listened to Zhu Hao's words, and suddenly felt the pressure double, and a shout oozed from his forehead, and finally he thought about it again, gritted his teeth and said:

"The last general will do his best!"

Zhu Hao listened to Gao Shun's words, shook his head slightly, and said:

"It's not an effort, it's a must!"

"During this period, this king will fully support you, I hope you will not let this king down!"

Gao Shun heard Zhu Hao say this, and couldn't say anything more, and immediately hugged his fists:

"The last general commands!"

After Gao Shun finished speaking, he paused, and then said:

"Your Highness, the last general needs a full coverage of heavy armor, a large shield two feet high and five inches thick, and a spear of two feet!"

"Oh! By the way, how many hoplites is Your Highness going to train? ”

Just now, Gao Shun thought that the task given to him by Zhu Hao was difficult, and he forgot the number of people Zhu Hao wanted to train.

Zhu Hao listened to Gao Shun's words, groaned slightly, thought for a while, and said:

"About 2,000 people!"

Zhu Hao said the number of two thousand, which was based on Yansui's current strength, after all, Yansui only had five thousand soldiers and horses, and he needed some soldiers and horses to attract the firepower of the Mongolian cavalry.

Only then did he think about it again and again, and said the number of two thousand, otherwise, according to Zhu Hao's thoughts, it would be best to train all the five thousand soldiers and horses in Yansui to fall into the camp.

Gao Shun listened to the figures reported by Zhu Hao, was silent for a long time, and then said:

"Your Highness, the last general needs to cover two thousand sets of heavy armor, two zhang high, five inches thick shields, and two zhang spears of one thousand each!"

"I wonder if Your Highness can prepare it!"

After listening to Gao Shun's words, Zhu Hao did not answer Gao Shun's words, but asked people to invite Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Yansui.

When Du Wenhuan arrived, Zhu Hao didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:

"General Du, this king told you before that you want to form a cavalry to break the enemy, and now you need to cover two thousand sets of heavy armor, two zhang high, five inches thick, two zhang of spears each, I don't know if Yan Sui may prepare?"

Du Wenhuan listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said with a sad face:

"Your Highness, there is no such thing in this full-coverage heavy armor city, but the general's armor is more than two thousand, and this defensive effect should be no worse than the full-coverage heavy armor."

"It's easy to do a two-zhang spear, and you can also find a craftsman to add a spear shaft."

"But this big shield that is two feet high and five inches thick, I'm afraid it's really hard to prepare for a while!"

"Please forgive Your Highness!"

Zhu Hao listened to Du Wenhuan's words and knew that what Du Wenhuan was talking about was something, after all, the three types of ordnance that Gao Shun wanted belonged to special ordnance, not the standing ordnance of the Ming army.

But fortunately, Du Wenhuan can solve two of them, and now he is two feet tall and five inches thick.

Zhu Hao knew that shield defense was the key to trapping the camp, and without the shield defense, he couldn't be regarded as trapping the camp.

When Zhu Hao was thinking about how to solve the shield problem, a soldier recklessly broke into the room and reported to Du Wenhuan that because of the daytime rush today, the Mongolian cavalry surrounded Yansui at this moment.

When Du Wenhuan heard the news, he didn't look flustered.

The reason why Du Wenhuan was so calm was because the Mongolian cavalry did not have the equipment to attack the city, and he was not afraid of the danger that the Mongolian cavalry would cause to Yansui City.

Therefore, he didn't care about the action of the Mongolian cavalry, but reprimanded this soldier with some dissatisfaction with the panicked appearance of the soldier who had just broken through the door:

"I would have known about it!"

"You pay attention in the future, break down the door directly, do you still have any rules?"

"If you disturb Your Highness, you can't afford to lose ten lives!"

Du Wenhuan reprimanded this soldier, but in fact, he was protecting this soldier, because he was afraid of Zhu Hao, because of the ordnance matter, his heart was not good, and he was angry with this soldier.

After he took the lead in reprimanding this soldier, Zhu Hao naturally couldn't talk about this soldier anymore, otherwise he would be too lacking.

But Du Wenhuan really thought too much about this, Zhu Hao couldn't talk about anything with a soldier at all, even if he was dissatisfied, he would directly reprimand Du Wenhuan.

Besides, at this moment, Zhu Hao was thinking about the shield of the camp, and he didn't think about anything else at all.

However, when Du Wenhuan finished reprimanding the soldiers, Zhu Hao stood up and exclaimed:

"Mr. Du, what did you say?"

"Breaking in?"

"That's right!"

"It's a broken door, why didn't this king think about it!"

Zhu Hao's startling performance made Du Wenhuan directly think that Zhu Hao had no mind and wanted to clean up this reckless soldier!

Therefore, Du Wenhuan hurriedly got up and persuaded:

"Your Highness, you are a prince, why do you have to meet with a soldier?"

"The last general has already reprimanded him just now!"

"Please also ask Your Highness to be merciful, and don't worry about such little people!"

"Leave him alone!"
