Chapter 3: The Great Fire of the Long Society

For the second 5,000 years of Chinese history, it has been at the peak of the world in the long feudal era. However, after the Industrial Revolution, the West developed rapidly, gradually replacing the East as the center of the world, and until now, the Atlantic Rim Economic Circle is still the most economically active region in the world.

Only when you have filled your stomach can you think about other things. That's why those in Europe have so much time and energy to play with arms. The armor recommended by the German professor to Chen Cheng is the Milan plate armor made in Germany, this plate armor is a very famous light plate armor, composed of helmets, breastplates, shoulder armor, gloves, arm armor, leg armor and shoes, which have strong protection for the whole body, and are not too heavy, a complete set is only forty-five pounds, and after wearing it, it will not have any impact on the movement of the body, and even make such an action as rolling on the ground.

Of course, because it is a light plate armor, while the weight is reduced a lot, the defense is much lower than that of the heavy plate armor used in cavalry warfare. However, there is also an advantage, that is, it is cheaper.......

Chen Cheng said that this kind of thing is really unaffordable if there is no mine at home. Just a set of Milan plate armor, plus freight, costs hundreds of thousands, and almost all his hard-earned money is spent. He also once inquired about the price of war horses, and the modern war horses that have been bred for hundreds of years have an advantage over ancient horses.

However, when he heard that a thoroughbred horse would cost tens of millions of dollars and the annual maintenance fee would be more than one million, he could only sigh and say repeatedly: I can't afford it, I really can't afford it. At most, buy an ordinary horse to ride later, that will be cheaper.

After dealing with the armor and cold weapons on the Internet, he went to the wholesale market in the afternoon to buy a lot of canned food, salt, alcohol, cloth, copper kettles, lighters, shovels, machetes, stoves, and other items. Every time he buys something, he moves it home and puts it in a custom-made wooden box, and then receives it in the "inventory".

The "Inventory" is also a plug-in for the "Ride and Chop" system, and if you raise the skill of "Item Management", you can put more things in. But it's enough for now. Skill points are too precious, so let's add them to skills that can directly strengthen one's strength, such as "Iron Bone", "Strong Attack", "Running", and "Horsemanship".

It's not that these things can't be bought on the Internet, but Chen Cheng has the illusion that "there are always Diao people who want to harm me", and he thinks it's better to leave fewer clues. If it weren't for the fact that there was no local combat equipment to sell, he wouldn't have bought it online.

After a busy day, I bought a lot of food and drinks, and spent tens of thousands of yuan to go out, and when I got home, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening. Chen Cheng looked at his mobile phone, and the class leader sent a lot of messages. He glanced casually, nothing important, threw his phone on the bed, took a hot bath, ate a hearty meal, and fell asleep in bed.

He's been sleeping well, even better with the addition of his "Strength" and "Agility" attributes. But no matter how good your sleep is, you will be woken up when thousands of people are fighting and shouting in your ears.

Chen Cheng opened his eyes and jumped up from the ground. In the light of the fire, countless people fought hard in the flames, one side was an officer in a red battle robe, and the other side was a homeless person with a yellow scarf on his head. It was obvious that the side with the yellow scarf on its head was at a disadvantage and was being killed by the officers and soldiers.

Since the plug-in was launched and he was involved in another world from time to time, Chen Cheng has paid a lot more attention to historical documents. After just a few glances, he involuntarily said, "Yellow Turban Army? ”

There is no way, the Yellow Turban Army is too famous, and the red robes of the Han Army are also very recognizable. More importantly, a Han army officer in armor looked at him viciously and scolded angrily: "Damn the Yellow Turban Thief! ”

"I'm not ....."

Before Chen Cheng finished speaking, the other party had already slashed over. The ring head knife is short, and if you want to hit someone, you must close the distance between the two sides. Chen Cheng is one meter seven or eight tall, half a head taller than the officer, and when he saw that the other side was unreasonable, he did it directly, he was angry, but he was not willing to make enemies with the official army, and he did not take out his weapon, but just turned sideways, caught the opponent's wrist with a glimpse of the situation, and then raised a punch to put the other party down.

As soon as he put down the opponent, more than a dozen Han soldiers holding spears came out of the firelight, and when they saw the situation here, they shouted: "There is still a thief here!" ”

The men shouted as they formed a tight formation, flattened their spears, and rushed straight up. Chen Cheng doesn't even have the idea of distinguishing now, in the face of such a situation, what else is there to say? I can only run away.

There were fires and crowds everywhere around, and Chen Cheng didn't turn around and ran far away, and he threw the group of people behind him out of sight. Before he could catch his breath, he saw several Han soldiers kicking down two men with yellow scarves on their heads, and then raising their knives to cut them.

In the screams, blood splattered, and Chen Cheng frowned when he saw it. But he didn't want to deal with any of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the officers and soldiers, and was about to leave, when he saw a small figure staggering towards him. If you look closely, it is a little girl of seven or eight years old. The little girl was crying as she staggered through the fire and the crowd.

When Chen Cheng saw it, he couldn't bear it, and ran forward two steps, wanting to pick her up. Behind him, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and a war horse rushed out and slammed into his back, knocking him out of the way. When he stood up dizzily and looked around, he saw a small figure prostrate on the ground, with an arrow stuck in his back, motionless.

His heart sank, and an inexplicable sadness arose in his heart.

In the firelight, the Han cavalry just now reined in his horse, spun around, and rushed towards Chen Cheng again. He carried a spear in his hand, the tip of which reflected the flames of fire, as if it were burning.

"you!" Chen Cheng was furious, is this still over?

Anger arises from the heart, and evil is born on the side of the gall. He kicked a wooden stick and grabbed it in his palm. The wind sounded sharply, and the Han cavalry rushed head-on. It was a raider from the border of Youzhou, and he was the best at horse assault. Although there are no stirrups and Takahashi saddles, they can still make many complex movements on horseback.

However, without stirrups and saddles, you can't exert your full strength on horseback after all. The knight had to clamp his legs firmly on the horse's belly to keep him from being thrown out. But in this way, he only has the usual strength to use for the assassination action.

Chen Cheng rushed forward against the oncoming cavalry, flicked the wooden stick upward, and knocked away the spear that stabbed over. The stick castrated and struck the cavalryman in the abdomen. There was a scream on the horseback, and the Han cavalry fell off their horses and rolled on the ground a few times. The horse lost its owner, and after running a distance, it stopped, and spun nervously in circles.

Chen Cheng glanced at the small figure on the ground again, and turned his head to run towards the war horse. Seeing someone coming, the horse kept fanning his ears, turned his head sideways, and looked at him with one eye. There were many Han soldiers behind him, Chen Cheng was anxious, but he slowed down his pace and said with a pleasant face: "Hey, friend, don't be nervous, I'm a good person." ”

The horse snorted and walked slowly. Behind him, the Han soldiers had already spotted Chen Cheng, an enemy who was not wearing a red battle robe, and was shouting loudly and rushing this way. When Chen Cheng saw the horse approaching, he was overjoyed, grabbed the reins, and immediately jumped on the horse's back.

The horse had a rudimentary saddle on his back, and his ass hurt a little. But what is this pain? The adrenaline in his body was now surging, and even the pain only made him more ferocious. Stepping on the horse, holding the spear he had picked up, Chen Cheng only felt refreshed, even if there were many enemies in front of and behind him, he was not afraid.

He quickly surveyed the surroundings with his eyes, turned his horse's head, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

The horse neighed, shook off its hooves, and rushed towards the weaker side of the fire.

Seeing the enemy rushing over on horseback, the Han soldiers who were blocking the road avoided one after another. Not everyone can face the collision of war horses without changing their faces, at least not these soldiers who have lost their establishment in front of them. However, it was not useless in the Han army, and when Chen Cheng rushed over, someone pulled out the javelin behind his back with his backhand and threw it over.

A black shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and Chen Cheng raised the block without thinking.

"Dang!"

In the crunch of metal, he was shocked, and his heart was in danger, and then he thought: If the ordered plate armor arrives, why should he be afraid of these long-range attacks?

However, he didn't even have a shield in his hands, let alone plate armor. While he was thinking, the war horse had already rushed into a fire, and then rushed out again. Several Han soldiers in red robes turned their backs to him and chased several Yellow Turban soldiers, and Chen Cheng rode past him and stabbed his spear out.

The sound of metal tearing through the human body sounded, and the Han sergeant who was stabbed in the back didn't even scream, he was torn in half, and then fell to the ground. He shot one after another and killed a group of Han soldiers. Several Yellow Turban soldiers who had escaped for their lives shouted behind them, but Chen Cheng didn't hear them, and soon went far away.

I don't know how big the fire is, Chen Cheng rode a horse and rushed to kill for I don't know how long, but he still couldn't break out of this hellish place of Shura. Just as he was scurrying around like a headless fly, the shouts around him gradually became quieter, and the flames gradually extinguished. A large number of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were forced to the river, with a big river in front and pursuers behind, and they had no choice but to lay down their weapons and kneel to surrender. But there are still many people who would rather die than fall and jump into the rushing river.

Seeing that there were more and more Han soldiers around, Chen Cheng tossed and turned for a long time, but he couldn't come out. He has no armor on his body now, and when he gets an arrow, his health will fall down. However, there are countless strong bows and crossbows in the Han army, and every time he hasn't rushed out, he is shot back by a burst of arrows.
