"Thirty Jia?!" Shi Dayong's eyes widened, a look of disappointment, the speed of this armor was too far from his expectations, it was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, leaving him speechless.

"Yes, Thirty."

Cao Bianjiao confirmed that he was also anxious, but there was no way, this armor was polished piece by piece by human hands, pulled out, and sewn piece by piece, and then corrected according to the difference of each horse, and then it could be officially applied. This person is also in a hurry. If you want to be fast, the way is simple, reduce the armor on the armor, but in that case, this resistance is no different from ordinary chain mail, and it can't be called a heavy armored cavalry Tiefutu at all.

Shi Dayong was speechless for a moment, and sighed: "It's too little, at this rate, won't my Iron Floating Tu be useless for a few months?" If it doesn't work, tragedy is inevitable..."

What tragedy is inevitable?

Cao Bianjiao looked confused, he didn't know what Shi Dayong was talking about, Lao Qin was even more strange, but seeing that the general was disappointed, he was afraid that he would blame himself for slacking off, so he was busy interjecting on the side: "General Shi, this armor piece is indeed difficult to make, it must be accurate, and it is labor-intensive, the villain is to rush again, and thirty sets of double armor in half a moon are considered good, if there are some mistakes halfway, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up even twenty sets." I hope that the general can see clearly, and it is really difficult for a villain to slack off. ”

"A set of people and horses are more than 120 catties of iron, Jinzhou does not have the Ministry of Industry to allocate iron reserves, although the Liaodong Army has it, but this fine iron is a pretty handful of goods, how can people easily give it to us. Only there were some left of the original governor's yamen, and Lord Futai couldn't help me grinding, so he approved it for me, otherwise, we wouldn't even have the iron to make armor. ”

Cao Bianjiao looked helpless, he was also anxious, if it weren't for the fact that this Tiefutu was really in line with his offensive temperament, and this Shi Dayong was a good man, how could he be patient and help craftsmen discuss how to build this armor every day.

Young people, active, on weekdays, it is better to have this kung fu than to practice martial arts.

With Mr. Cao Qian's words, Lao Qin also said: "Yes, General Shi, what Mr. Cao Qian said is the truth, this armor is too iron-consuming and labor-intensive, and non-villains are unwilling to speed up and meet the needs of adults, but they can't get up quickly." ”

Cao Qin and the others are telling the truth, Shi Dayong doesn't understand it anymore, just looking at the vest in front of him, he knows that it is not feasible to make a set in one or two days. Just imagine, how tedious and laborious it is to make a 180-pound piece of iron into a piece of armor that can be made into a vest. Without the help of machinery, it is all done by manpower, and you can imagine how difficult it is.

It is no wonder that this heavy armored cavalry was eliminated, it seems that in addition to being too cumbersome, it is also due to the difficulty of making armor, the difficulty of forming a large-scale army, and the inability to replenish in time.

Who can spend so much money and energy to build some heavy armored cavalry that can't last long.

Or the light rider came faster, more powerfully.

I don't know how Wanyan Zongbi created the Three Thousand Iron Floating Tu, and it is estimated that most of them are the inheritance of the Liao Kingdom.

poured the wealth of a country, but got three thousand horsemen.

He Shi Dayong wanted to repeat the majesty of Tiefutu, but how could he get the wealth of a country.

But after boasting with Qiu Hejia, this Tiefutu Keke Jiannu Eight Banners, Shi Dayong was unwilling to give up no matter what.

Whether you succeed or not, you have to give it a try. Difficulties, find a way to overcome, not cower.

After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea, and hurriedly said to the old Qin: "If this official gives you some ready-made chain mail, you will dismantle it, take the nail piece to use, and save the effort of making the new nail piece, will the speed be greatly accelerated?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Qin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively: "The way to make nails, the first is in the nail piece, if there is a ready-made nail piece, the rest is sewing and running-in, and the efficiency of this nail formation is naturally much higher than before." ”

After a pause, he was a little puzzled: "But this chain mail is very precious, only cavalry and generals in my Ming army have it, and it is good for ordinary soldiers to have cotton armor, but I don't know where General Shi can get some chain mail?" How can you be willing to hand them over to the villain to dismantle them one by one? ”

Lao Qin's question is also what Cao Bianjiao wants to say, he knows that Shi Dayong is only promoted to a general today, and he was only a garrison before, if he uses ready-made chain mail to disassemble and make armor as he said, then there must be at least five or six hundred square lines, he is a new general, there are not many soldiers and horses and new remnants, where can he get so many chain mail.

This matter, unless the striker chief Zu Dashou supports it, but every time my uncle mentions Zu Dashou, he can't help but sigh, and he has a little bit of a bad feeling about him, so he knows that this Zu Dashou will never support Shi Dayong, who is not his descendant.

Shi Dayong said to Lao Qin: "General Ben will be responsible for the matter of chain mail, I only ask you, give you ready-made, can you make three hundred sets of people and horses for General Ben within half a month?" ”

Lao Qin thought for a while and replied: "If you give the villain another hundred skilled workers, the villain can barely guarantee it." He didn't dare to speak too much, there were too many problems involved in this armor making, and he was too full of words, if he couldn't finish it by then, he was afraid that this Shi Sens. would have to blame himself.

With Lao Qin's words, Shi Dayong had a bottom, nodded and said, "You don't have to be pressured, just do it with confidence." No matter how much you do, Ben won't be embarrassed by you. ”

"The villain did his best!"

Lao Qin said that he saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he led a few apprentices back to the craftsman's room.

After he left, Cao Bianjiao glanced at Shi Dayong strangely and asked, "General, where did you get so much chain mail for Lao Qin?" ”

"When I say it, I can take it."

Shi Dayong smiled, walked around the six horsemen, and said to Cao Bianjiao as he walked: "In the battle of Dalinghe, there are more than 200 Jiannu corpses, and there are nearly 100 Jiannu with chain mail on the corpses, and there are 300 in my Songshan cavalry battalion. But if I ask Lord Futai for some more refined iron, most of them will be enough. ”

"Will Xia and Li agree? The last general heard that they were the people of Zu Dashou. ”

Cao Bianjiao heard Guo Yi say that Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were allocated by Zu Dashou to his own adults, so he always thought that these two people were not Shi Dayong's people, so when he heard Shi Dayong say that he wanted to remove the chain mail from his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

This chain mail is the talisman of the cavalry, Zu Dashou poured the wealth of Liaoxi, and there was the full support of the imperial court, and the most under his command was only five or six thousand iron horses, barely keeping a set of chain mail for one person. Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were born in cavalry, and they were often under the command of Zu Dashou, how could they not know the preciousness of this chain mail, and how could they sacrifice all the armor of their subordinates to make this iron floating massacre?

The more Cao Bianjiao thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible, and his uncle Cao Wenzhao regarded this chain mail as a treasure, and he easily did not allow his subordinates to discard it.

"I'll discuss this with them, it's man-made, you don't have to worry about it." Shi Dayong sighed slightly in his heart, what attitude Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong have, he really has no bottom. Squatted under the belly of a horseman, pulled the leather rope connecting the armor, turned back to Cao Bianjiao and said: "By the way, Xiao Cao, Tiefutu Xiang is three horses, why did you make six horses and add this spear, don't you think it's redundant?" ”

Cao Bianjiao had been waiting for Shi Dayong to ask him about this, and hurriedly said: "The general once said to Xiao Cao that this Iron Floating Massacre is rampage with heavy armor and iron horses in order to rout the enemy army, and if there are kidnappers and horses to cooperate, it will be invincible." However, there are no kidnappers and horses in my Songshan army, and this Iron Floating Massacre cannot be formed into an army in a big way, so the last general thought that it is better to build this Iron Floating Massacre into a trap for the dead. Simply change three horses to six horses, with spears, six horses drive together, and the power of the momentum can be half the effect. ”

Shi Dayong shook his head and said, "If one horse falls to the ground, the six horses will be gone." There are already few Tiefutu, so the loss is great. I am no more than three hundred, and if I can withstand a fall, it will be the loss of six horsemen. ”

Three horses to six horses, the power is great, but the disadvantages are also big. Shi Dayong couldn't help but think of what Qiu Hejia said to himself, there is also a way to crack it, that is, to solve the three horses and charge the battle with a single horse, but in that case, the power is definitely not as good as the three horses rushing together.

Ben has a headache, but it's good, but Xiao Cao has another three horses for six rides, and while the power increases, the danger is also greater.

I didn't want Cao Bianjiao to listen to his words, but he smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Since he is a dead soldier in battle, then this Tiefu Tu fights, and the upper and lower levels only want to die, where do they dare to survive." It's down, what a pity, my generation fights, just trying to be happy and revenge, report to the country, report to the ancestors, life and death are just a thought, leave it behind and kill it happily, how can you feel distressed. ”

Sure enough, it's a brave general! A fierce general who puts life and death behind him!

Shi Dayong secretly praised, thinking about it, too, three hundred iron floating slaughter is not a decisive force, once it is used, what is sought is just a surprise, rampage. As long as the friendly forces cooperate effectively, there will be meritorious achievements and hope for survival, if the friendly forces cooperate unfavorably, in the face of tens of thousands of elites of the Eight Banners, that is, there is no return, no matter how many enemies are killed, they can only exhaust their abilities. In that case, why worry about casualties.

"When the armor is made, these three hundred Iron Floats will become a battalion of their own, well, we must also take a more majestic name, after all, this Iron Float is a military name of a foreign race, and it is always awkward to use it. Let's call it the Wolf Cavalry, you see, isn't this sharp spear like the wolf's fangs? ”

"Wolf Cavalry?"

Cao Bianjiao high-fived and praised: "Okay, it sounds very majestic." After a pause, he thought of something and asked: "The general and Lord Futai said that Jiannu is about to attack in a big way, but our wolf cavalry army has no shadow yet, if Jiannu really comes to besiege Dalinghe City, what can we do to save it?" ”

Shi Dayong couldn't answer this question, smiled bitterly, and confessed: "If I don't hide it from you Xiaocao, I don't know what to do with Lu Dao." can only take one step at a time, but the best way to do it today is to drag, I hope that Lord Futai can command the two chief military officers of Wu and Song, they also have 6,000 strong troops under their command, and it should not be a big problem to go to the rescue. If the rescue of the two commanders fails, we can only protect Jinzhou and wait for the imperial court to send a large army to the rescue. If I am not discouraged, with my current strength, it is impossible to protect myself, not to mention rescue. ”
