Therefore, Jiang Shang let the Iron Armor Army cultivate internal strength, that is to strengthen their strength and physical strength, so that they can still act like the wind under the equipment equipped with nearly 100 catties. Otherwise, the training of the Iron Armor Army on top of the moves would not be so simple, and only focus on training their discipline.

But as we all know, the armor and weapons of a heavy infantry cost nearly 100 taels of silver, and 100 million people need 100 million taels of silver, such a big price is enough for Jiang Shang to form an army of one million.

However, Jiang Shang still understands the truth that it is better to lack than to abuse, can an army of millions of ordinary people resist the iron cavalry of the Mongolian soldiers and the arrows flying all over the sky?

The answer is no, because people are riding horses, they want to beat you, they can't catch up with you, and they can't catch up if they want to go, and they will kill you if they consume just the time.

And Jiang Shang also wanted to form cavalry at the beginning, any light cavalry, any heavy cavalry.

But the problem is that there were not many horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, and even if there were some, they were all weak horses, and they could not be compared with the Mongol cavalry at all.

Therefore, Jiang Shang studied it, what is the most feared type of cavalry shooting?

Mounted archery has a fast movement speed, a long range, and strong mobility, and can be easily eliminated against sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, etc.

So what is the nemesis of the cavalry archer, and what types of troops are the cavalry archers afraid of?

In the end, Jiang Shang found that the best way to deal with cavalry should be strong crossbowmen to fight far away.

Of course, crossbowmen need the cooperation of other classes to fight cavalry, such as heavy infantry, and they are super heavy.

And Jiang Shang simply combined the heavy infantry with the strong crossbowmen, so that they were both strong crossbowmen and heavy infantry. Destroying the enemy with a strong crossbow in long-range combat and turning into a heavy infantry in close combat is definitely a nightmare for the enemy, even against the heavy cavalry, it has the power to fight.

Besides, Mongolia also has its drawbacks, that is, they have just occupied the land north of the Yellow River for a short time, and the mining of some minerals cannot be directly used in the army, so even if there are heavy cavalry, there are definitely not many.

At the same time, the Mongols were too arrogant, believing that their iron cavalry was already invincible in the world, so they still dominated the light cavalry that came and went, which was just enough to restrain Jiang Shang's heavy infantry and crossbowmen.

But then again, although Jiang Shang's ironclad army restrained the Mongolian cavalry, if people wanted to escape, you could only do nothing, right?

Right!

Jiang Shang's ironclad army could only be powerless in the face of the enemy's escape, which was also Jiang Shang's helplessness, because the pursuit of cavalry could only be pursued by cavalry.

Therefore, the formation of cavalry must be formed, but this needs to be done after driving the Mongols back to the steppe.

Although the ironclad army could not pursue and destroy the cavalry, it could drive it out of the land of China steadily, and after subduing the lost territory, Jiang Shang would raise the strength of the whole country to form an iron cavalry and conquer Mongolia.

Of course, these are all later words, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Jiang Shang is now training in secret, and Mingli is developing his Jinyi Guard.

2nd year of Chunyu, October, 15th.

After nearly a year of development, the Jinyi Wei Command and Envoy Divisions established in the major state capitals of the Southern Song Dynasty have grown stronger while buying masters from the rivers and lakes to join and cultivating masters by themselves.

Under the command of Jiang Shang, they acted decisively and ruthlessly, and dealt a devastating blow to the underworld forces in the major state capitals. At the same time, it also supervised the officials in the major state capitals, and once it was found that those officials had embezzled and taken bribes and oppressed the people, they were all arrested and put in prison and their homes were confiscated to be used as military funds for the ironclad army.

Of course, under such decisive and ruthless methods, some local tyrants and inferior gentry will naturally rebel. However, under the strict monitoring of Jinyiwei, coupled with the report of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, they all used thunderous means to kill them in the bud.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to have gathered the hearts of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the third year of Chunyu, the sixth day of the seventh month.

Jiang Shang, who was in the imperial city of Lin'an, received a report from the Jinyiwei branch of Xiangyang City, and the Mongols gathered an army of 130,000, known as 200,000 iron cavalry, and sent troops to the Southern Song Dynasty, although they still mobilized troops against the Southern Song Dynasty, but their wolf ambitions were already known to everyone.

At the same time, Guo Jing, a hero of Flower Island, issued a martial arts post, and summoned the Central Plains martial arts people to gather in Guiyunzhuang in Dashengguan to discuss the matter of assisting the official family to resist the invasion of the Mongols.

"Has the Hero Conference started......?"

Jiang Shang was holding a martial arts post in his hand, and the name on the post was written with the name of Yin Zhiping, the Quanzhen Sect Leader.

On the same day, there was a group of ten horsemen galloping out of the Lin'an Imperial City, and their direction was the Dasheng Pass all the way to the north.

Dashengguan, in an ordinary teahouse, an old man and a young man sat at a table drinking tea, looking at a group of Jianghu people who rode past the door of the teahouse again.

The boy asked, "Grandpa... Grandpa, did you say that this martial arts conference, will the Flash Hero come? Will the Twelve True Swords under his door also come with him?"

After hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment before he said: "The flash hero Shenlong has seen the beginning but not the end, and now he has become the true master, and it is difficult to see his shadow at this martial arts conference." However, the twelve true swords under his sect, he may see seven of them this time!"

After a few years, the news that Jiang Shang took over as the head of Quanzhen in a low-key manner has spread all over the rivers and lakes.

After hearing his grandfather's analysis, the young man learned that the lightning hero who was rumored on the rivers and lakes to shake a thousand enemies with a sword and punish the red practice fairy Li Mochou would not come to participate in the martial arts conference in Xiangyang City this time, and his interest was suddenly reduced by half!

Sword Zhu Chilian Fairy Li Mochou, what the hell?

Speaking of this question, it has to start when Jiang Shang secretly left the Quanzhen Sect.

At the beginning, Jiang Shang asked his disciples to walk around the rivers and lakes from time to time, acting chivalrous and righteous, and accumulating chivalrous fame for him and for the Quanzhen Sect.

And his disciples did the same, and then the Quanzhen Sect rose in the rivers and lakes, and the chivalrous name spread throughout the Central Plains Martial Arts, and the twelve disciples of Jiang Shang gradually had their own chivalrous names, which were called the Quanzhen Twelve Swords by the rivers and lakes.

A year ago, seven of the twelve swords of Quanzhen once again entered the rivers and lakes to fight for righteousness, and met Li Mochou on Jiaxing Road. intervened to stop it at the moment, so Seven Swords started a big battle with Li Mochou.

If it comes to fighting alone, the Seven Swords are naturally not Li Mochou's opponent, but they use the Tiangang Beidou Array against the enemy, and Ren Na Li Mochou's strength has reached the first-class top existence in the rivers and lakes, and he is also embarrassed by the Seven Swords.

In the end, Li Mochou used her famous stunt Ice Spirit Silver Needle to sneak attack, injuring three of the seven swords in a row. If it weren't for the local Jinyi guards arriving in time, I'm afraid that these seven swords would have been removed from the rivers and lakes.
