In terms of protection, the Tang Thirteen Armor includes the combat uniforms of all branches of the Tang Army, so that every Tang Army, even a pawn, also has a strong protective ability, effectively reducing the loss rate of the Tang Army on the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the offensive aspect, compared with other dynasties, the Tang army was much more powerful, on the battlefield, each Tang army had at least three weapons, as for the bow and crossbow with strong striking power and long attack distance, the coverage rate in the Tang army reached 12 percent.

These are just ordinary Tang soldiers, because the Tang army attaches great importance to cavalry, throughout the dynasties, in the construction of the cavalry army, except for the Yuan Dynasty, a dynasty established by the Mongols, other dynasties are far from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army is famous, so that later generations of military researchers and military enthusiasts are full of doubts 'Mo Dao' is like a legend.

This kind of all-round offensive and defensive war equipment has made Datang the king of cold weapons through and through.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm brushing everything here with fish glue, and then I'm trying to see if there's still air leaking."

In the ordnance camp, Duan Jian was letting no one command some craftsmen, and those craftsmen were also very obedient running back and forth, and their target was a flat bag in the middle, which looked like it was made of cloth.

"It's ....... This..... What is Lang Jun doing, why has he made such a ghost thing for so many days, it looks like a pocket, but he has opened such a huge opening, what is the use of this, do you want to use this thing to cover those mountains, but this pocket is a little small, besides, even if he can cover those mountains, this one is not enough! ”

Duan Mu, who was standing not far away, asked Zhou Xing beside him with curiosity on his face, although he knew that there would be no answer, but this had become his habit, every day he watched Duan Jian and these craftsmen mysteriously making this thing, but he didn't know the answer, he didn't ask, his heart was itching all the time.

Not only Duan Mu was puzzled, but in the entire camp, except for Duan Jian and those few hands-on craftsmen, I am afraid that no one knew what they were doing.

Just when a few people were still full of doubts as they had been a few days ago, they saw a craftsman excitedly running to Duan Jian's side and saying something, and Duan Jian was also quite excited, and then everyone saw that a group of craftsmen pulled something like a box from a distance and stuck it with the huge bag.

"Governor, I'm ready, can I try the situation?" After the box-like thing and the huge pocket were glued together, a craftsman asked Duan Jian excitedly.

"Okay, let's try it and see what happens." Duan replied briefly.

"Lang Jun, then, what is that, why does it look weird, it can't be some kind of divine weapon." Seeing Duan Jian walk to their side, Duan Mu couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, a divine weapon, yes, if he can succeed, he can indeed be regarded as a divine weapon, and even the world's first divine weapon, with it, my Tang army can save half of the hard work in the future." Duan Jian couldn't help but smile when he heard Duan Mu's words.

"What ........."

Duan Jian's words completely shocked Duan Mu and the others, they didn't think that Duan Jian was bragging, after all, Duan Jian didn't need to brag with them, and Duan Jian had never said anything big.

Just when they were shocked by Duan Jian's words and didn't react, something that shocked them even more happened.

The huge pocket actually swelled up from the soft lying just now, like a child blowing pee bubbles, never bigger, slowly getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a monster-like thing, fluttering towards the sky.

"Demon ...... Yokai, Yokai....... Lang Jun, run, I'm in front of you as a monster. ”

Such a strange scene, except for Duan Jian and a few craftsmen who knew it well, everyone was completely stunned, they didn't know why something that was like a big bag just now suddenly became so big, and even floated to the sky.

In the face of the unknown, some people are full of curiosity, wanting to understand him, while others want to escape, and the latter accounts for the majority, at least Duan Mu belongs to the latter.

Hearing Duan Mu's trembling shout, watching him tremble, but still insisting on standing in front of him, Duan Jian kicked him in the ass with emotion and anger, and said with a smile, "What kind of monster, this is a magic weapon made by hard work these days, forgetting to sleep and eating, monsters, I don't know how you came up with it." ”

While scolding angrily, Duan Jian looked up at the huge pocket floating in the sky, in later terms, this is called a hot air balloon.

When he overheard the general's words of flying into the sky, he immediately thought of a brilliant idea, that is, a hot air balloon, of course, he didn't want to use a hot air balloon to achieve air strikes, it wasn't a war, it was looking for death, but he was able to use the hot air balloon to interfere on those mountains, so as to give support to the ground attack troops.

Of course, compared with the sophisticated hot air balloons in later generations, Duan Jian's eyes were like toys made by children, but in Duan Jian's eyes, it was a great thing.

In the hot air balloons of later generations, all the materials are very precise fabrics, not only strong, but also very fine, but this one in front of Duan Jian is not comparable at all.

The earliest hot air balloon in history will not appear until more than 200 years, and it is only a nominal hot air balloon, which is actually a large Kong Ming lantern, but the one made by Duan Jian has a fundamental difference.

If you want to make a hot air balloon, the most important thing is the material of the balloon, which must be made of very fine materials to ensure that the hot air balloon can fly, but when is it, in the seventh century, not to mention the sophisticated materials of later generations, even cotton cloth did not appear, and silk was not as fine as that of later generations.

It's hard to find the materials that make a hot air balloon, but luckily, there is no limit to human ingenuity.

When Duan Jian said this idea, a craftsman said, 'Since the density of the fabric is not up to the requirement, why can't we seal the fabric?' ’

With this idea, Duan Jian and several craftsmen finally had certain results after even counter-testing, that is, after making the frame of the basic balloon with linen, brush the outside of the linen cloth with thick fish gelatin, which is boiled out of fish maw, not only has a very strong sticking force, but also very light, and will not affect the weight of the balloon.

Finally, after several days of hard work, the first hot air balloon in history was born.

"It's done, it's done, Dudu, we've succeeded, we've been able to fly, I've been able to go to heaven."

A few craftsmen who worked hard with Duan Jian, although their faces were full of haggard expressions and their eyes were red, their expressions were as if they had drunk stimulants, and they didn't care whether Duan Jian was an official of the court or the commander of the army, pulling Duan Jian was jumping wildly, and even lifted Duan Jian up with a few people and threw him into the sky.

It's no wonder that these craftsmen are so carried away, you know, since ancient times, flying is the dream of human beings, but unfortunately, due to various conditions, this dream of human beings has never been realized in thousands of years, even if they have experienced it, they have entered the palace of Hades.

Now, Duan Jian has completely realized this possibility, how can they not be surprised and happy.

"Very good, you test the data right away, see if there is anything else that needs to be improved, if we can complete our goal, just follow this requirement, make it in a big way, we must do it as quickly as possible, and the heavy task of conquering the Black Bull Tribe will all depend on it." Duan Jian ordered.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet

When Duan Jian led the troops south, the land south of the Yangtze River was still quite cold, and after more than a month, spring had completely come, and now although a trace of cold could still be felt at night, most of the time, the world was still quite comfortable.

At dusk, when the Tang army camp was having dinner, the guards of the Black Bull tribe were also waiting to eat in the bunker on the top of the southbound mountain range not far from the Tang army.

"Hurry up, hurry up and line up, today the patriarch Kaien, killed two wild boars, we have been defending the fortress these days, the patriarch specially gave us some water and oil, you dogs are blessed today." A strong man wearing a wolfskin jacket and revealing his chest said with a sneer on his face as he looked at the guards who came to eat one by one.

Hearing the strong man's shout, the guards who were queuing up to eat were a little crowded, and many of the guards behind couldn't help but crowd forward, so the queue, which was originally quite straight, immediately became a little chaotic.

"Smack, smack, smack"

As soon as the queue was chaotic, a crisp sound of leather whips rang out, and along with the sound of leather whips, there were several screams, which were made by the defenders who had been beaten by leather whips.

And the person who whipped it was the strong man standing next to him.

This person is called Manglong, he is a famous warrior in the Black Bull tribe, and he is also a famous warrior of the She people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"You dogs, you guys are messing with dogs at all, tell you, stand in line immediately, whoever dares to take a step around will not think about eating today." Mang Long said coldly.

After saying this, Mang Long took the leather whip and walked towards his room without looking back, even though he knew that the eyes of many people behind him were full of anger against him, but he didn't care at all.

For the Black Bull Tribe or the entire She tribe, just follow one rule, that is, the strong is the king, the entire Black Bull Tribe, Niu Qianjin, the patriarch is the one who takes it for granted, everyone in the Black Bull Tribe is his slave, he controls the life and death of everyone in the Black Bull Tribe, and Manglong These dogs are the nobles of the Black Bull Tribe, in addition to obeying Niu Qianjin's orders, all the people of the Black Bull Tribe are not in their eyes, they want to kill, they want to fight.

Of course, for the atrocities of Niu Qianjin and Manglong, it is not that no one wants to resist, but the final result of everyone is a fate, peeling the skin and digging the heart, the corpse is thrown to the mountain as a beast, and their families are all executed, under this bloody rule, everyone can only endure it, and over time, they will slowly get used to it, they don't ask Niu Qianjin and Manglong to change this habit, they just hope that the person who suffers is not himself.

"Big brother is really a good means, the patriarch gave us so much bounty and food, we only gave those dogs some water, so they could make it easy for them to make a fortune, it's really good, I really hope that the Han people stay for a while, and then we will be able to get more benefits."

Manglong didn't come back to the house alone, he was followed by an extremely obscene person, short head, mustache, thin neck, big head, looking like a big-headed doll, extremely funny.

This person is no one else, it is really Manglong's cousin Mangwa, because Manglong died his father and mother when he was a child, and he was raised by Mangwa's parents, and Mangwa has had a strange disease since he was a child, and he will never grow up, it is precisely because of this that Manglong takes great care of Mangwa, fortunately, although this Mangwa is not big, but it is different from the She people on the side, quite smart, it is under the planning of Mangwa, Manglong from a small person with brute strength, gradually got the weight of Niu Qianjin, and now one person is above 10,000 people.

"Brother Wa, is it really okay to do this, if the patriarch knows, I'm afraid he will be unhappy." Manglong asked Mangwa with a puzzled face.

"Hey, hey, don't worry, don't say that the patriarch won't know about this matter, even if someone really has the audacity to tell the patriarch, as long as the eldest brother can defend and prevent the Han army from attacking, the patriarch will definitely not blame the eldest brother, and maybe it will be even more important." Mangwa said with a smile.

Looking at Mangwa's disapproving appearance, although Manglong was still a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't say anything anymore, for so many years, he still trusted Mangwa very much.

..................................

In the night, in the Tang army camp under the Prison Dragon Mountain, hundreds of soldiers were already ready to assemble, and the strange thing was that there were dozens of things that looked like white mushrooms in front of them, and the huge thing looked quite surprising.

"How about it, are you ready, whether you can capture the Prison Dragon Mountain, show your majesty for my Han'er, and show your majesty for my Datang." Duan Jian stood in front of him and said to the people who were about to leave.

"Don't worry, with these days of training, with the help of this artifact, if you can't take it down to the barbarians, you will come and see you." It was Chen Guotai who spoke.
