Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wind
The armor that has just been replaced is mixed with the smell of sweat and blood, the armor is made of the armor in the shape of a carapace, which is produced by the Xiyang Military Weapons Prison, and the armor leaf is made of cold forging of refined iron smelted by Daye Prison, which is very tough, decorated with pigskin strips, and can block arrows from fifty steps away when worn on the body.
Unless it is a blunt weapon strike, or a strong bow and heavy arrow at close range, it will take a lot of effort to break the armor, and now, there is a large gap in the left back shoulder of the armor, which does not seem to be a wound caused by an ordinary weapon at all, as if a piece was torn off by a fierce beast with its claws.
Yu Wenwen looked at the gap in the armor, and the first thing that came to his mind was that the owner of the armor was attacked by a monster.
If it is a tiger, it is generally patted with its claws, or it is bitten, it is very common for tigers to be in the Huaixi area, the forest coverage rate is high in these years, and the tiger in the two Huai areas is not a year or two, but this gap is obviously scratched off by some kind of beast with its claws.
Since it's not a tiger, it's unlikely to be a bear, it's a monster.
Yuwen Wen thought so, he even had the illusion that it was the Nine Yin White Bone Claw that appeared, but this was impossible.
The answer was soon revealed, and the soldier brought an iron claw over, and Yu Wenwen took it in his hand and looked at it in surprise.
This is a weapon, but it is relatively rare, and it is called "Tie Lao", which is actually an iron claw with an "elbow".
The iron claws captured by their own soldiers are made of one rope and one claw, and the five fingers of the claw are made of iron, which is slightly larger than the palm of a human hand, and each finger is three joints except for the big finger.
The end of the first section is as sharp as an eagle's claw, and each section can be moved where it is connected, and each section can be retracted and moved, and each section is organically bracketed, with ropes and like meridians.
Toss the thing at the enemy, then pull the rope and pull the claw deep into the body, the more the enemy struggles, the deeper the claw grabs, and unless a piece of flesh is ripped off alive, it is extremely difficult to escape.
"This thing is used to arrest people?"
"Back to the king, that's exactly the case, the enemy rider is using this thing to catch the mouth."
"If you catch the mouth alive, shoot the horse down, and then knock the person unconscious? Or use a noose, why bother. ”
Faced with Yu Wenwen's doubts, Liu Bo'er, who escaped death, replied: "King, the last general also listened to what Zhang Sima said, saying that when capturing generals, some special weapons are often used to catch prisoners, and there is always an inconvenient time to use a noose, and it is very convenient to use iron to catch a person in the enemy army and run." ”
"Catch a life-catcher? In today's fierce battle, did you encounter the enemy's captive general? ”
"Yes, the king, when he first encountered, the last general saw that the enemy and us were close in number, so he led his troops to rush forward, and after a vicious fight, he almost wiped out the whole army, and the last general was caught by this iron Lao, and almost lost a piece of meat."
Liu Boer was shirtless at this time, and the military doctor was bandaging the wound on his left back, thanks to the armor to block the iron Laos, Liu Boer's injuries were not serious, and the iron Laos thrown by the enemy soldiers only grabbed part of the armor.
Yu Wenwen handed Tie Lao to others and patted Liu Bo'er on the right shoulder: "Have a good rest, but remember to write a report and hand it in, the widow wants to see it!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Writing a report is to summarize the battle and sum up the lessons and lessons in order to continuously improve their combat quality, which is a unique requirement of the Hulin Army, and the effect is very good, and it is not something that Yuwenwen bored to get out.
Liu Bo'er, the chief cavalry general of the Hulin Army, took a group of newly joined the clan cavalry to the battlefield not long ago, but not long after the opening of the business, he fell into the trap of the attacking enemy soldiers.
Of course, Liu Boer also set a trap, seeing that the enemy and I were more than 60 horsemen, so he simply got on it, this one didn't matter, Liu Boer's department was almost defeated, and more than half of the casualties were killed.
The enemy that Liu Boer encountered was not the imaginary Wubao powerful army, but the elite cavalry, led by the capture general, who specialized in going deep into the territory controlled by Yuwenwen to catch life.
These cavalrymen spoke with a northern accent, obviously not locals, probably the elite of Wei Chiyou's army, or Youyan Xiaocai, who went south from Hebei to reinforce them, and relied on their ability to come directly to catch them.
Capture general, a low-level military position, the duty is to go deep into the enemy's ground to capture prisoners, probably similar to the elite special forces and scouts of later generations, with strong individual combat ability and amazing combat effectiveness when fighting in small teams.
Such an enemy is very tricky to deal with, Yuwen Wen got a report yesterday, don't take Xue Shixiong to take the recruits to experience, encountered a cavalry that was evenly matched, I thought I could train the newborn calves, but the result was almost wiped out, among those enemies, it seems that there are living generals.
Not only that, but the fact that their own cavalry on safari in various places encountered extremely strong enemy cavalry, which showed that things were changing.
Elite cavalry is not something that can be trained in a year or two, and many herdsmen in the north, regardless of Hu Han, have been dealing with horses since childhood, and they began to learn to raise and serve horses at the age of four or five, and began to ride horses at the age of six or seven.
At the age of 9 or 10, he was able to ride a horse to rob, at the age of 13 or 14, he was already killing people, and by the age of 20, he had achieved the goal of "integrating men and horses", and a group of four or five people could kill more than 20 ordinary cavalrymen.
Yuwenwen relied on some powerful armed cavalry of clans in the Jianghan region, and played cavalry battles with such opponents, it was strange to have a good time, it seemed that the strength of the two sides was about the same, and if they were not careful, they would be wiped out.
Taking Xue Shixiong's department as an example, if it weren't for Xue Shixiong, a fierce man, who took the lead and made a big reversal, more than 50 cavalry would definitely be wiped out, and the enemy's losses were not more than half, and although they won in the end, there were only eight people left.
Yu Chi Youqi, who is entrenched in Vortex Yang, seems to have added chips to the gambling table, so of course, Yu Wenwen, who guards Ruyin, must also add chips.
。。。。。。
As the sun set, in the wilderness, the cavalry surrounding the 'prey' moved and attacked the isolated grain convoys, which seemed to them to be nothing more than dying lambs.
Youzhou is very cold, in winter the weather is cold, if you want to survive, you have to rob, rob Han villages, rob Khitans, Tatar tribes, grab things to live, if you can't grab it, you have to starve to death.
So, the incompetent people died, and the bad ones died, but they survived.
At the age of five, they began to serve horses, at the age of nine they began to rob on horseback, at the age of fifteen their hands were stained with human blood, and in their twenties, they were not afraid of any enemy.
The cavalry that came out of the bitter cold land of Youyan should not be too easy to deal with the waste in the land of Lianghuai, even if the number of enemies doubled, they would not pay attention to it, not to mention that the enemy in front of them was still dominated by infantry.
No matter how many sheep there are, they can't stop a few wolves from attacking, can they?
The cavalry who began to hunt approached the infantry lined up in a phalanx from four directions, the distance gradually shortened, and the cavalry began to shoot arrows to harass, and some people took out the noose, ready to trap and drag away the soldiers on the outer edge of the phalanx, and dragged them in front of the formation, forcing the other party to panic.
The distance was close to fifty paces, and the cavalrymen had already fired a round of arrows, and the opponent silently endured the arrows and did not return fire.
Thirty paces, another round of arrows was fired, but many of the infantrymen were still standing with arrows, maintaining a neat formation, and it seemed that they were wearing heavy armor, and they had to get closer to release the arrows to break the armor.
This food convoy was very strange, marching alone in the wilderness, there were not many cavalry roaming around the periphery and guarding it, and it seemed to be a dishonorable team.
Now they are lined up in a phalanx to try to protect themselves, each side is two rows of people in front and back, a total of about eighty people, the infantry are holding short spears flat, the spearhead is outward, the soldiers in the front row are half squatting, the soldiers in the back row are standing, and the number of people in the phalanx is about three hundred people,
The short spear was a strange style, as if it were an iron rod with a short knife tied to the outer edge, except for this weapon there was only a spear, and there were no archers, and the other party seemed to have confidence in the strange short spear.
But this didn't matter to the cavalry, because no matter how many horns and strange the appearance of the sheep was, it couldn't stop the wolf's teeth.
More than 200 wolves will be afraid of your more than 300 sheep!
The noose had been prepared, and just as the cavalry was about to 'catch the sheep', a breeze blew in their faces, bringing with them unintelligible shouts.
"First row, shoot!!"
The wind suddenly rose, there seemed to be many flutes whistling, in the wind, the cavalry and mounts splashed countless blood flowers, and the unity of men and horses formed by more than 20 years of running-in disappeared in an instant in the bloody wind and rain.
