In the early morning, when everything was silent, the eastern horizon shone with a glimmer of light, carefully soaking into the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Jun got up very early, since the crossing, for some reason, he is always very energetic, even if he is very tired from marching and fighting, he only needs to sleep to recover. In addition, the speed of his wound healing is far faster than ordinary people, and now not only has the internal injury been fully recovered, but even the arrow wound on his leg has also recovered, if it were not for the scar not retreating, no one would believe that he was hit by an arrow not long ago.

As for his own peculiarity, Zhang Jun can only attribute it to the transformation of his body and spirit. However, in the eyes of others, Zhang Jun's rapid healing phenomenon is a symbol of talent and some kind of divine power.

Since Jiang Wan has been avoiding Zhang Jun, now the lord's daily life has become Suo Sanjie's care. I saw that he was carefully scrubbing Zhang Jun's Mingguang armor, checking every place for damage.

Mingguang armor first originated in the Three Kingdoms, and now it is still a very precious kind of armor, and it will gradually become popular after the Northern and Southern Dynasties and shine in the Tang Dynasty. Many people in later generations have always thought that Mingguang armor was invented by the Tang Dynasty.

Mingguang armor, because its front chest and back are equipped with left and right two round metal guards, very similar to a mirror, can emit bright light under the sun, just like the Han Dynasty mirror inscription said, "see the light of the sun, the world is bright", so it is named. In addition to the round body armor, this armor also has a shawl to protect the shoulders and arms, a knee skirt to protect the thighs, and a vertical basin collar on the body armor, which is connected to the hanging neck, so that the protection is very tight.

Due to the scarcity, those who can be qualified to wear Mingguang armor in the armies of various countries at this time are either generals or warriors who can break through the formation, and generally this kind of person will be called "Iron Beast"!

There is a joke circulating in the Liang army, which is that the two generals of the Chinese army fought for merit after the war and disagreed with each other, so they took off the Mingguang armor in public to see who suffered more injuries. As a result, one person suffered thirty-four wounds, while the other suffered fifty-three wounds, so that those who were less wounded had to retreat. It can be seen that Mingguang armor is known as the "first of a hundred armors" is not in vain. If it was changed to other armor, the people inside would have been slashed thirty or fifty times, and they would have become meat sauce a long time ago, where would they still fight for their lives?

In addition, Zhang Jun was shot by the Huns with a crossbow arrow at close range, as evidenced by the fact that he only suffered internal injuries.

Now that the damage has been properly repaired, Suo Sanjie has helped the lord put on his armor.

At this moment, a "bang" was suddenly heard, and a young man in leather armor slammed open the door, kicked on the threshold and fell, gasping for breath and coughing. Zhang Jun gently raised his chin to signal, and Suo Sanjie hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Hungarian ······ The Huns are coming! ”

Zhang Jun didn't react when he heard this, but took a deep breath and calmed his mind. It will be the courage of the army, and at this time it must not show the slightest panic. After he put on the full set of armor in a very orderly manner, he slowly spoke: "Quan Bin, beat the drum immediately and gather all the horses." Inform Han Hu that the whole army is on alert! ”

Suo Sanjie's fat face also became solemn all of a sudden, and he hugged his fists and said, "No! ”

Zhang Jun turned his head and asked, "How many people came?" ”

"No······ I don't know. I saw only a few cavalry ······ in the distance." The young man said in a panic: "Chief Li Wu asked me to report the news, and I hurriedly walked back on the path." ”

Zhang Jun tightened the belt around his waist, took the saber from the wooden frame and hung it on his waist, then put on his bow and arrows on his back and strode out of the door. Outside, the rumbling drums gradually sounded, and the soldiers marched in a sonorous pace, and were marching in line.

He walked straight up the slightly higher outer wall, and several of his henchmen followed him uptown. Looking into the distance, I saw the shadow of a cavalry slowly coming at the end of my sight.

At this time, on the outer wall, the new pawn and some older men were also in place. And the elite Liang army lined up on the second, slightly lower wall.

The guards on the outer walls were generally dressed in messy leather armor, and their sharpened bamboo spears were held tightly in their hands. Soon, Liang Jun, who was in charge of supervising the new soldiers, shouted loudly: "After a while, Hu Lu got closer, and when he heard the order, he will release the arrow!" Anyone who dares to escape from the battle and disobey orders will be dealt with in accordance with military law, and there will be no mercy! ”

Seeing that so many generals were also standing with them on the outer wall, the newly recruited soldiers felt a little relieved, and they couldn't help but swallow their dry saliva, and they also watched like the generals.

After waiting for a long time, the small group of cavalry in the distance slowly approached, a total of thirteen people, all on horseback. Gradually, from the armor, it can be roughly identified that it is indeed the Hun cavalry.

Since the Xiongnu entered the northern land, although they have retained a large number of tribal customs, they still have to learn the Han system in many aspects, such as the advanced military production in the Central Plains, so they have to rely on the captured Han craftsmen. Therefore, in the shape of weapons and armor, it still adopts the consistent style of the Central Plains Dynasty, which looks similar at first glance, but it is also easy to identify.

The most convenient thing is to distinguish by looking at the hat, the Han soldiers will wear more integrated pockets, while the Hun soldiers are iron helmets and ear guards, and the ear guards are like dogskin hats on both sides. In addition, in the choice of armor, most of the Liang troops used the emerging two-crotch kai, which was easy to wear and more sophisticated, while the Xiongnu usually used the sleeve armor commonly made by craftsmen of the Jin Dynasty.

The cuff armor, as the name suggests, is barrel-shaped and sleeved, like a modern short-sleeved pullover, made of pieces of steel, because of the short sleeves, which can protect the soldier's upper arms and armpits. At the same time, in order to increase the protection, the chest is not open, so when you wear it, you should wear it from the head like a modern T-shirt. It was originally a kind of armor system inherited from the Three Kingdoms, and it was often called "Zhuge Liang's sleeve armor" by the people of the time. However, the cuff armor did not appear later than the Three Kingdoms period, and similar armor already existed during the Han Dynasty. It's just that after the development and improvement of the Three Kingdoms period, it became the main equipment of the army in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The Liangjun's two-crotch Kai only appeared during the Three Kingdoms period, and Cao Wei was equipped on a small scale. At that time, the two-crotch Kai was still a relatively precious and rare armor, because of the difficulty of the production cost. It was named "Two Gears" because of its resemblance to the shape of the two crotch shirts in the costume. "Interpretation": "Two crotches, one is the chest, and the other is the back." Therefore, the characteristics of the two crotch Kai are "one for the chest and one for the back", which are tightly connected with a strap on the shoulder.

Compared with the sleeve armor, the advantage of the two-crotch Kai is that it is easy to wear, and it can be completed by one soldier; The protection is also stronger, and the movement is more convenient. This is also the reason why the cuff armor gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and the two-crotch Kai became popular.

Besides, the thirteen Huns no longer advanced more than two hundred paces away, but turned their horses' heads and kept circling outside the stockade, as if they were observing the environment. At this moment, one of the riders suddenly got bold and galloped towards the wall.

Han Hu said at this time: "General, if you let the new pawn shoot a few arrows to strengthen your courage, if the Huns keep showing off their might, I am afraid it will damage morale." ”

Zhang Jun agreed: "It's okay to shoot a few arrows, it's okay to scare them." ”

Immediately, Han Hu gave an order, and the new soldiers opened their bows and arrows one after another, and crackled at the approaching Huns. The Huns did not expect that there would be so many archers in the stockade, so they immediately turned their horses and retreated.

"It's a pity that the bow strength of the new pawn is too weak······" Suo Sanjie said on the side: "If you change our old pawn, I promise to keep him." ”

"If it really hits, it will make the Huns cautious, which is inconsistent with the lord's strategy." Song Pei said: "It's enough to scare, the main thing is to stabilize the morale of the new soldiers." ”

Sure enough, the new pawn and the old man on the outer wall couldn't help laughing when they saw the Huns fleeing, and the tense atmosphere was relaxed.

At this time, Zhang Jun took off the hood on his head, turned around and ordered: "Order everyone, rest in place and not leave." If there is nothing to do at noon, Jiang Wan will take the women and children to deliver food to the whole army. ”

With that, Ben Dang walked down the earthen wall first.

The subordinates followed one after another, and they all discussed: "I'm afraid that this group of Huns is here to inquire about the news, and the real big army is still behind, so you have to wait." ”
