Time really passed quickly, only six days, Wen Zhongrong and they led the army to Jinzhou, Yue Fei quickly handed over the city defense, and the original garrison in the city immediately advanced to Pingliaozhai.

He himself led the cavalry to take the lead and rushed to the front line of Pingliaozhai in a day and night.

The real battle can begin.

"Brother, the Jurchen Tartars on the other side have transferred at least two thousand horse troops in recent days."

The sun has leapt out of the clouds, thousands of rays of light have splashed the earth, and the morning mist has dissipated. On the high ground that Ali Hu was peeking on that day, Xu Qing pointed to the city of Liaoxi Prefecture that was already visible in front of him, and said to Yue Fei.

Because of their provocation for several days in a row, the Jurchens clearly realized something. Wanyan Yinshuke, who was sitting in Liaoxi Prefecture, immediately noticed that something was wrong - Qi Jun was deliberately stirring up trouble.

After receiving the letter, Liaoyang Prefecture has not yet come up with a definite opinion. After that, Yan Lou had already dispatched cavalry to reinforce Liaoxi Prefecture.

Now that the real offensive battle between the two sides cannot be fought, the two sides are back and forth, and a lot of effort is spent on small-scale cavalry fighting.

Yanjing Mansion has always been able to obtain a steady stream of war horses from the grassland, and a considerable part of them have been left in this place, especially after Hua Rong led the horse army back to Yidu, and the Yanjing army has no shortage of military funds and riders, but the number of horse troops is only six or seven thousand.

The small cavalry fighting between the two armies between Liaoxi Prefecture and Pingliaozhai made a major and outstanding contribution to it.

"Then you shall lead your troops and stay here, and put one or two hundred horsemen in the open place, and hide the rest in the high ground. Thou shalt not give orders, and thou shalt not move. ”

Under Yue Fei's order, Xu Qing naturally obeyed everything. Yue Fei looked up again at a small low hill three or four miles northeast on the left, where Qu Li had surrendered to the Central Plains with Yeluchun.

This man is a good martial artist. In the original work, Wang Wenbin, the successor of the leopard's head in the palace marshal's mansion, was single-handedly killed, which is a rare brilliant scene in the process of Liangshan's invasion of Liao. Although he was captured by Zhu Tong after the defeat of the Liao army, this does not mean that his martial arts are weaker than Zhu Tong's boss. Those who are captured alive in the defeat of the army and those who are captured alive in the heads-up are two different concepts.

At the same time, the status is not very high. Just look at his last name to know a thing or two. This person is a subordinate of Wu Yanguang, but when he split up in Danzhou, he did not go to the west with Wu Yanguang, but followed Yelu Dezhong back to the city of Xijin Prefecture. It can be said that its relationship with Yeluchun is not very deep. Lu Qian wants to use the old Khitan generals, and the Yelu clan has a horse five is enough, and the side one must have a Qu Li out of the Qing.

But even so, Lu Qian pressed him for half a year before he was put under Yue Fei's account.

Wang Gui followed Yue Fei's side, and the two of them led seven or eight hundred cavalry, quickly surrounded the outer city of Liaoxi Prefecture, and continued to pierce behind him.

Routine operations, these are all routine operations. Liaoxi Prefecture is just a city that cannot be moved, if there are not enough cavalry to match, how can it completely cover the threat of Qi cavalry? Since the grain in Xianzhou and Qianzhou was burned down by a fire, this fact has been clearly revealed.

When Wanyan Yinkeshu in the city heard the news that there was a small group of enemy cavalry that had bypassed Liaoxi Prefecture and galloped eastward, thousands of horse troops had already rushed out of the Jurchen barracks outside the city, and under the leadership of the Jin general Wanyan Hun Dethroned, they were in hot pursuit.

"General, the Jurchen cavalry behind you is afraid that there are thousands of horsemen."

The two teams rushed out of more than ten miles in half an hour, as if they were arrows off the string.

Yue Fei grabbed the war horse, the person did not land, and the arm only pressed on the war horse, and the person jumped onto the back of the deputy horse. The cavalry of the seven or eight hundred Qi Army behind him also stopped, changed their horses, and turned the direction. Wang Guili pointed at Jin Bingdao beside Yue Fei, but there was not much worry in his words.

What others don't know, he knows. The cavalry battalion that Yue Fei brought from Jinzhou, although it was not the Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Commander, had extraordinary confidence. Because of what they wear!

Don't look like it's gray and not very powerful, but in fact, it is covered by the gray overcoat on the body. Inside the house is freshly baked simple plate armor. Compared with the artwork plate armor of the Europeans who dressed themselves in different patterns in history, the simple plate armor made by the Qi army is obviously much inferior.

In fact, the composition of the latter also carries a strong traditional concept of the armor.

It's not that Emperor Lu spoke out directly, I'm afraid that the ordnance supervisor is still worried about how to connect the miniaturized plate armor one by one.

The whole new type of armor is divided into helmet, cuirass, back armor, shoulder armor, upper arm and forearm armor, elbow armor, wrist guards, large and small leg armor, knee armor, etc. It weighs nearly thirty pounds. This is a light model, the weight of the heavy model is more than forty catties, and the defense is extremely strong, compared to the armor with armor and iron horses.

But these are simple versions, and the weight of the real complete version of the armor has exceeded fifty catties. Because in order to protect the body, it is necessary to increase the thickness in important parts, and even add additional armor, so the defense is even stronger, but such a heavy vest is not of actual combat significance at all. Even if the armored iron cavalry drives the war horse, it is difficult to drag the cavalry wearing such armor to gallop and conflict.

Now the cavalry behind Yue Fei only has breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, elbow armor, etc., as for the back armor, leg armor, knee armor, etc., it is not plate armor, but cotton armor and leather armor.

Historically, Westerners began to refine themselves in the twelfth century, inventing complete plate armor at the end of the fourteenth century, and before that, they spent two hundred years perfecting the process.

But China doesn't. Compared with Europe at this moment, China's forging and armor manufacturing processes are enough to complete the manufacture of plate armor. The disadvantages are only in the iron quality and weight.

And so it is. After the ordnance supervisor obtained a large number of high-quality Hengshan fine iron, the master craftsmen under Tang Long had enough hydraulic forging hammers and animal forging hammers to use, and after repeated experiments regardless of the cost, if they could no longer master the manufacture of plate armor, it would be a dereliction of duty.

But you can't deny that the weight of the full version of plate armor that is being made today is really heavy. With the same protective power, I am afraid that it will be much thicker than the Western plate armor in the official history, but China does not have as many heavy war horses as the West.

This is also the main reason why Emperor Lu will replace the back armor, leg armor, knee armor, etc. with cotton armor and leather armor.

It's too heavy, the war horse can't take off, and it can still have the combat power of a bird?

"Ang Ang Ang ......" Yue Fei pulled up the reins of the war horse, and the horse stood up with his head raised and neighed. A pair of front hooves are dangling in the air.

"Brothers, the great deeds are coming soon. Kill them all with me—" The spear stabbed at the Jurchen soldiers.

Once the armor is manufactured, it will be sent to the battlefield to test its combat effectiveness. Emperor Lu immediately thought of Yue Fei, and now is the time to test the true combat effectiveness of the plate armor.
