The protection of such cotton armor is good, not the frontal knife slashing and arrow shooting, but the spear stabbing and heavy weapons can not be protected, in fact, the Ming army cotton armor is also the same regulation, but when it is built, it is not careful, cutting corners, and in the end the cotton armor is just a cotton jacket, and the amount of cotton in this cotton jacket is often insufficient, compared to the meticulous construction of the Jianzhou Jurchen, the protective power is naturally heaven and earth.

But this good cotton armor is compared to Zhao Jiajun's standard iron armor, it is another heaven and earth, Zhao Jiajun's iron armor is lightweight, and the protection is even better, there is no way to do anything about knives, arrows, guns, and stabs, if you want to break the armor, you can only use heavy weapons in close combat, and what makes the Jianzhou Jurchen even more amazing is that the fire gun can't be broken even a little farther away, and such armor can be called treasure armor.

So after the armor arrived in Shenyang, everyone was amazed, and then considered imitation, and found that Jianzhou craftsmen could not build, but to create such a set, it would take dozens of sets of cotton armor materials and man-hours, and this cotton armor has always been only Jianzhou elite can be draped, because cotton armor is very inconvenient to manufacture, and this Xuzhou iron armor is dozens of times this, not to mention anything else, only the good wrought iron will cost a lot, then it will not be imitated.

Nurhachi asked the craftsmen to repair the broken scratches on the Xuzhou iron armor with gold and silver ornaments, and then gave them to the beylers below as a heavy weapon for generations.

Of course, the Jianzhou Jurchen also inquired about the details of Zhao Jiajun's equipment, more than eighty percent of Zhao Jin's main forces are equipped with this kind of iron armor, this news is unbelievable, it is too unbelievable, people in essence still use themselves to evaluate others, others lag behind and lead have a limit, for example, Jianzhou knows what kind of size Ming and Mongolia are, and there is a rough standard for leading and backward than themselves, but Zhao Jiajun is beyond common sense.

The land of Xuzhou, although it occupies the rich and noble lands of Qingjiangpu and Haizhou, but these places have been sending grain to the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, Xuzhou has not got too much, so how did these tens of thousands of sets of iron armor come out, is it out of thin air?

I heard too many legends about Jianzhou Jurchen, and I heard a lot about Liaozhen and the Ming army back then, but after encountering them, I found that it was far from what the rumors said, and Xuzhou must be like this.

There are even rumors that Zhao Jin in Xuzhou used bamboo and wood for armor protection, and some people speculate that these tens of thousands of sets of armor in Xuzhou are probably like this.

Until now, seeing the materials of the Zhao family army like a mountain into the sea, I have some doubts about these tens of thousands of sets of iron armor, and I still don't dare to believe it all, but the coveted meaning is to rise up, and I think about it up and down in Jianzhou Jurchen, with the strong soldiers of Jianzhou Jurchen, coupled with the good iron armor that may exist, it can really run rampant in the world and be fearless.

After Amin commanded the troops to arrive at the Acropolis of Gaizhou, several temptations suffered losses at the hands of the Zhao family's army, and when the war was approaching, everyone from Amin to the bottom was in a heavy mood, but after Amin knocked on his armor and said these words, everyone's heavy eyes were swept away, and they all showed a blazing greedy look.

What is righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, the benefits are in front of everyone to compete for the first, think about the Zhao Jiajun's materials like mountains and seas, everyone's hearts are getting hotter and hotter, anyway, they have to fight hard, if they win, their own family will make a fortune!

They are not arrogant, nor crazy, they have fought for so many years, although the past few years have been smooth, but when the two brothers Nurhachi and Shulhaqi led the army, it was a bloody battle to the death from beginning to end, and many of these leaders and leaders who are leading the troops now have experienced the past.

No matter how arrogant the general Zuo is, he can also see that the Zhao family army in front of him is not easy to fight, and the Great Khan's concubine Tang Gu has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he has not been eaten cleanly, no matter how incompetent Tang Gu is, he has also fought with a sword and a sword, and his minions are also unambiguous, but they are just as miserable.

This time it is definitely not easy to fight, even if there is such a large numerical advantage, and there is an unprecedented mobilization of 10,000 cavalry, it may be able to win, but the casualties among the people participating in the battle must be heavy, and everyone on the opposite side sees the momentum, not to mention anything else, the neat formation, the massive materials, looking at it makes people feel empty, and against an opponent like Zhao Jiajun, it is himself who cannot be killed or injured, and the credit is taken by others.

What if you don't fight? The two brothers, Amin and Zilharang, have military law orders in their hands, and the old Khan and Baylor in Shenyang also have military law, if their families hesitate, not only their own lives will be guaranteed, but they are afraid that their families and relatives will also be unlucky.

I have to fight, I have to fight to the death, the generals who are used to licking blood at the tip of the knife will not think too badly, everyone subconsciously thinks about it in a good place, for example, think about the loot, think about the benefits, think about it too much, or true or false, I believe it, not to mention that this armor and that massive amount of materials are indeed good things, Jianzhou Jurchen started, at the very beginning, it was not about seizing the world, restoring the glory of Dajin, that is, looting wealth and women, and then distributing according to the level of military merit, everyone came to make a fortune.

Therefore, the Jianzhou Jurchen military merit system is the most rigorous, and the military merit reward is the most generous, in order to ensure that the distribution is relatively fair, and the spoils of war are enough to make people work hard, so only making a fortune can make everyone's fighting spirit vigorous, and can make everyone feel afraid and uneasy, just for the possible harvest in front of them, everyone has to think so, everyone can only think like this

Boosting the morale of the troops before the war is also one of the responsibilities of the commander-in-chief.

However, these generals in place were only inlaid with blue flags and the Mongolian army and the Han army, while the generals of the Zhenghong Banner led by Yue Tuo did not move, even if they were as irritable as Amin, they did not have any offended expressions.

The Jianzhou Jurchens are divided into eight banners, led by the Great Khan and the Beylers, and there is a clear distinction between different belongings, and Amin, as the main general, can freely transfer the men and horses in the blue banner he leads and the subordinate Mongolian army and the Han army, but the red flag led by Yue Tuo cannot cross Yue Tuo's command.

"Yue Tuo, you go to attack the enemy's flank, these Han dog people are less than us, and the formation is dense, there is no one to resist, as long as you get to their flank, they will be in chaos." Amin commanded alone.

From the various news from the pass, everyone can see that Zhao Jiajun does not know much about the art of war and formation, but it can also be seen that Zhao Jiajun has a very strong ability to fight head-on, and let Yue Tuo go to the flank, which is already a great care for him and his subordinate soldiers and horses.

Yue Tuo didn't answer immediately, Amin frowned, but continued: "The snow on the other side of the mountain is indeed difficult to walk, but it's not impossible to walk, you can lead the team over is a great achievement, those Han dogs have so many soldiers and horses, now that the mountains and seas are closed, can you still make up tricks?" ”

It was quiet for a while, but a staff leader with a red flag stepped forward and whispered a few words, and Yue Tuocai nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Uncle Amin, our troops and horses will receive orders!" ”

Yue Tuo and the generals of the Zhenghong Banner also left, Amin and Zilharang glanced at each other, and at this time, Amin said coldly: "At this age, you can receive the red flag, and our nephews are just not comparable to our grandsons." ”

The blue flag also has its own team and eyeliner in Shenyang, just recently, the confirmation of the news has come from the fast horse over there, the Great Khan Nurhachi and the rest of the Baylor agreed to hand over the red flag to Yue Tuo, although Yue Tuo does not have the name of Baylor, but the power of leading a banner is not inferior to any Baylor.

With this layer of cause and effect, Amin and Zilharang became more and more inconvenient to mobilize Yue Tuo's troops and horses, and they also understood in their hearts that the Great Khan and the Baylors made such an arrangement, although there were consequences of the scandalous affairs of the palace in the past, and more importantly, it was important to balance and contain the blue flag of the army outside.

As I have complained, Amin has the quality of a general who commands the army: "Bypassing from the flank, the key is to grasp the soldiers and horses well, and it is just right for Yue Tuo to go with the team of the Zhenghong Banner." ”

Zilharang nodded, and echoed: "Hangou's artillery is powerful, this time we must use our artillery, they can have it, we can have it." ”

"The key is to rely on our cavalry!" Amin didn't answer directly, but just said this in a muffled voice.

At this time, the battlefield was already noisy, and groups of soldiers and horses were driven out of the camp and in position, and the area between the positions of the two armies was also coming and going.

Because they blocked each other in advance, and they were relatively complete, Zhao Jiajun and Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses only knew a rough idea of each other's strength, and they didn't have too much detailed understanding.

Temporary cramming is better than nothing, the big war must be perfect, and there can be no negligence in the preparations, so you ride back and forth, and spy on each other in return.

In the process of light riding you come and go, you have to fight in battle, riding and archery, and win a prize for the army, who kills and injures the enemy, who has any wonderful performance, will cause a burst of applause, and you must reward and praise on the spot, and the main general will not be stingy, in such a situation, the light horse is naturally wholeheartedly dedicated.

However, this is only the habit of the Jianzhou Jurchens, this habit is actually the habit of the Ming army to fight, and it is simple on the side of the Zhao family's army.

Once the team is formed, there is no way to get too close to the opponent's position, and the effect is much worse.

Today's pre-war formation, in a sense, is an idealized order, everyone out of the camp and then start the battle step by step, but this is also due to the terrain, the narrow battlefield between the mountains and the sea, one side camps, almost blocks the passage, the other side can only camp at a certain distance, and then the two sides send troops to fight.

If in other terrain, the battle has already started at this time, how can everyone give the other party time to calmly line up.

"Division, the cavalry of the Tartars escorted the artillery out of the camp." There has been news that has arrived on Chen Sheng's side, and the light rider and watchtower can see a lot of things.
