"Those turtles, grandsons, and sons in the auxiliary camp will be driven out of the city if they don't come again!" Ahura cursed, and then left the guards and rushed out from under the city gates.

"Commander! Commander! Some Chiyan soldiers looked at it and immediately said urgently. Previously, for the safety of Ahura, the soldiers deliberately guarded him inside the city gate. Now suddenly rushing out, it is simply throwing itself into the muzzle.

A large rain of arrows also shot at him mercilessly.

Many soldiers were moved and rushed out to block the arrows. The spear in his hand is even more impermeable.

But the rain of arrows is too dense! Even if the soldiers tried their best to resist, they would inevitably be shot and injured.

"Brothers of Chiyan! Do you dare to go to the city with me to kill the enemy! ”。 Seeing that it was too much to wait for death, Ahura yelled arrogantly.

"Kill!" Hearing this, the soldiers responded in unison.

Without saying much, Ahura rode straight on his tall horse and rushed to the stone staircase that stepped onto the city wall. But there were too many enemy troops around the city gates! Although they relied on a breath of fire, they temporarily rushed out of a bloody road. But soon, it was besieged by enemy troops again.

For a time, neither advance nor retreat, and it was difficult to move forward.

However, because they were mixed with the enemy, the defenders on the city wall did not dare to shoot arrows indiscriminately. So invisibly, the threat of arrow rain has been cut off.

And the inside of the city gate was also because Ahura took away some of the soldiers. Make the remaining space enough for the soldiers to avoid the rain of arrows. In addition, the space inside the gate was narrow, making it difficult for the enemy to exert its numerical superiority.

Therefore, the whole unfavorable situation has been greatly improved.

But it's temporary! As time passed, more and more enemy troops arrived. The first battalion of Chiyan, however, has fewer and fewer people because reinforcements have not arrived. It is foreseeable that it will not be long before the scales of victory will once again tilt in favor of the Khorezm army.

But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly shook the ground like thunder. Some of the Chiyan soldiers who were struggling to support them immediately looked shocked, and cried with joy: "It's those guys from the auxiliary camp!" It's them coming! ”。

Among the cathars, only the mounts of the Firmament Corps are equipped with horseshoes made of fine iron. This is to avoid the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, and a layer of "U" shaped metal is nailed to the soles of its feet. Also known as "horseshoe"!

It is also the hooves of the horse, which are made up of two layers. The layer that comes into contact with the ground is a hard keratin about 2-3 cm thick. Further up, there is a layer of living keratin. When the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water. Over time, it affects the horse's galloping speed.

Nailing the horseshoe not only effectively delays the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more firmly grasp the ground and use the ride.

So in the cathars, all mounts are nailed to the horseshoe. But only the Sky Corps is the most particular about the materials. Due to the weight, when galloping, the movement caused by the gallop is much larger than that of the ordinary horseshoe.

Although the Red Flame Legion and the Firmament Corps do not deal with each other, their understanding of them is clear. Therefore, as soon as he heard this voice, he guessed that the reinforcements were the Celestial Death Battalion.

Ahura, who was in a dilemma, was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the opportunity to say loudly: "The brother of the consonant is here!" We can't let them take all the credit! ”。

The Chiyan soldiers, who were originally a little exhausted, were immediately overjoyed. The arm that was originally sore and weak unconsciously had a huge force.

When the enemy heard about the reinforcements, his face was gloomy. The morale that has not been recovering for a long time has also dropped a lot.

So that Ahura and them, they were able to advance a hundred meters. The stone steps leading to the head of the city are only one step away.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers of the deadly battalion in armor had poured in from the corner gate.

Unlike the armor of the Eagle and Chiyan, the armor of the Death Battalion is more similar to the Eight Banners of later generations. Therefore, its system is divided into armor and bib.

Among them, the armor is equipped with shoulder pads on the shoulders and armpit guards underneath. And on the chest and behind the back, wear a metal heart guard. And at the seam of the placket under the mirror, a trapezoidal belly guard is worn, called "front block".

The left side of the waist wears a "left block", and the right side does not wear a block, only left for a bow and arrow bag to think it is used.

For bibs, they are divided into two pieces: left and right. When wearing, tie it around your waist with a strap. And at the middle seam between the two bibs, there is a tiger head knee of the same material. Except for these accessories, except for the shoulder pads, which are connected with straps, the others are connected with buttons.

When you're all dressed, start from the bottom up. Wear a bib first, then an armor. Wear your helmet and hat after putting on all the accessories.

In terms of weight, it is far inferior to the 瘊 (chóu) sub-armor of the Modao Battalion. It was made by the Tubo people in Qingtang (near Xining, Qinghai)!

Its nails are thin and tough, and their color is blue-black. When it is bright, you can see the hair. Li Chengji found this armor that was most suitable for the Modao Battalion through Xiao Zi's help. And after it is made, it is deliberately shot with a strong crossbow at a distance of 50 paces.

It turned out that no powerful crossbow bolt could penetrate this armor.

In order to more accurately measure the toughness of this set of armor, Li Chengji conducted hundreds of experiments, and finally shot an arrow!

However, upon closer examination, it was found that the arrow had been shot through a small hole in the belt. The iron arrow that shot into it was also rolled up by the armor iron. It can be seen that its hardness is quite high.

It is also this kind of iron armor, which is made by cold forging. When the nail pieces are cold-forged to one-third of their original thickness, they leave a piece the size of a chopstick's head at the end of the piece. Faintly, it looks like a scab on the skin. Therefore, its common name is also known as "Qizi Jia".

However, the armor of the lethal battalion, in terms of protection, is far superior to the "caribly armor". Because it is almost completely airtight from head to toe. When charging, it can also minimize the enemy's damage to the soldiers of the deadly battalion.

As soon as he rushed in, he heard the contempt of the Chiyan battalion for his own camp, and immediately laughed in a bad tone: "Hey! Brothers of the motley army! It's not very moral to belittle allies like this, is it? ”。

"Gregorious?!" ，

"It's the head of a thousand households of Ge Riwuqi!" ，

Some of the Chiyan soldiers who were close immediately exclaimed.

This Ge Zhi Wuqi was the head of a thousand households in the Death Camp, and was originally the son of a nomadic Qarluq tribal chief in Darinkur (Lake Balkhash). Because after the death of the patriarch, the brothers fought for the throne. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by his other brothers and sent to Balasagon to be sold into slavery.

By chance, he was bought into the mansion as a guard by the housekeeper of the palace of Hezhong County.
