As the sun set, in the town of Zhuxian, Zhao Ta rewarded the three armies.

The result of the battle was smoother than he imagined, although the real strength of his light cavalry was actually inferior to that of the Jurchens, but they were dressed in leather armor equipment that had been modified by him, and there were four fierce generals such as Luda to take the lead, but they won a complete victory.

Special armor weapons are one thing, Jurchen light enemies are another, and the four vanguards bravely take the lead even more.

The so-called fierce generals may not be the first in martial arts, but they are brave and mighty, leading the army to rush and kill, and can mobilize the emotions of their subordinates, which is the most rare.

There are losses in this battle, but the Jurchens on the other side are invincible, and these losses are completely acceptable in comparison.

In fact, even if there is only a draw with the Jurchens, in today's situation, it can be regarded as a victory, and undefeated is a victory.

Zhuxian Town is about fifty miles away from Wanyan Zongbi's main force, and hundreds of people have gone out to explore Masa, and some people come back from time to time to report the news.

However, no enemy situation was found, but the Iron Floating Slaughter would come tomorrow, and if it wasn't for tonight, I'm afraid that the heavy armored cavalry would have arrived at this moment.

The Jurchens had never suffered such a defeat, and Wanyan Zongbi was even more arrogant and would not endure this, and the defeat of this light cavalry confrontation was tantamount to humiliation to him.

Zhao Ta had carefully asked the Zhe brothers about everything about the Tiefu Tu before, and called the dozens of soldiers who had been defeated in Yandi to confirm it, and he already had a general impression of this Jurchen iron armor in his heart.

It seems that some are inferior to the Iron Harrier.

Judging from the description, if it is a mountain plain, Tiefutu should not be the opponent of the Iron Harrier, if it is a plain, the two should be up and down, but the armor of the Iron Futu is weaker than the Iron Harrier's armor, and there is no Hengshan Bubaozi to cooperate behind.

There is also a hastily formed and immature.

After rewarding the military horses, Zhao Ta went back to the big tent and watched the picture of the Iron Floating Tu again, which was based on the description of the Zhe family brothers, as well as the specific image of the iron armor drawn by the soldiers and the addition of those soldiers.

Under the equipment of the Iron Floating Massacre, above the horse's hoof, there was no different from the Iron Harrier, and a small piece was vacant.

The armor does not completely cover the horse's hooves, in fact, it is not easy to hang so low, because between the horses running and jumping, there will be staggered movements before and after the body equipment, if the four legs of the armor are hanging so low, it is inevitable that one side will fall to the ground, and then stumble on the horse's feet, and fall forward, causing trouble.

Then the armor must not be too low, and there must always be a distance above the horse's hooves, so as not to cause the horse's legs to fall in one or two places between the runs.

Obviously, both the Iron Harrier and the Iron Floating Slaughter are this kind of reserved design, according to Zhao Ta's previous investigation in Tokyo, the heavy cavalry Jingsai Army, which died out long ago in the Great Song Dynasty, was also like this at the beginning.

In fact, it is not a big weakness, after all, the iron armor is galloping, and the power of the charge is extremely strong, and the gap exposed by this point is negligible, and the horse's eyes are also exposed, and the shoes of the cavalry are leather boots, so what? Without seeing who could get through these two weak points, he attacked accurately and broke the heavy cavalry.

So I didn't make up for it, and I couldn't think of any way to fix it.

But this is on the premise that there is no rattan armor and hook sickle, no one has thought of how the horse's eyes and cavalry's feet and boots are broken, and Zhao Ta didn't think of it, but the horse's legs and feet have been figured out.

A single rattan armor is not good, and a single hook and sickle gun is not good, so it has to be combined in pairs.

The rattan armor is normally a sword soldier, but this will not work, because a single knife has no chance to step forward and cut off the horse's ankle.

If there is only a hook and sickle gun, the soldier will not be able to do it without special protection, whether the hook is not hooked or not, he will be trampled to death in the end, the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention the serious damage, and the hook and gun cannot be repaired, and the heavy riding cannot be broken at all.

At this time, there is no complete step armor, and even if there is, the practicality of the step armor is far less than that of the vine armor.

Stepping on the human armor, using a long knife blunt weapon, and slamming the legs of the heavily armored horse, is also a breaking method, but it is not as powerful as the rattan armor with a hook and sickle, and the loss is smaller.

As for Zhao Ta's newly formed Iron Harrier, it did not have this weakness, and he pondered a way to make up for the defect that this equipment could not cover the horse's ankle.

That is to create a four-inch three-point-long foot ring, put it on the horse's ankle, so that this vacant position can no longer be exposed, and everything will be solved.

This cylindrical hollow metal ankle ring does not require any high technology, as long as it is put on the ankle of the horse, and then the iron edge at the interface is rolled up and buckled to death, or a few small holes can be left and fixed with iron rings.

General Lu took away the 11,000 Iron Harriers from the expedition to Huanglong Mansion and Huining, all of which had this configuration, and there were probably no other weaknesses.

Zhao Ta looked at the picture for a while, shook his head slightly and put it down, everything complements each other, there are positive and negative sides, in fact, it is easy for the heavy armor to break his rattan armor hook sickle, as long as it is equipped with ...... A riding spear more than two zhang long is fine.

In history, the Central Plains, including the surrounding neighboring countries, has never been equipped with a weapon more than two zhang long, let alone a cavalry spear.

The weapons of Tiefutu were heavy carbines and sabers, and fifty people were in a team, and one person retreated, and the whole team was killed.

This kind of horse pistol is far from reaching two zhang, and the longest spear around the Central Plains in ancient times is about four meters, and the one that can reach six meters in length has such an amazing degree as the Polish hussar spear of Europa.

To break the rattan armor hook and sickle, then the cavalry's weapon must be longer than the hook and sickle, and the best is the spear, the hook and sickle is four meters and six long, and the heavy armor cavalry spear must reach at least two zhang, that is, six meters.

It's just that Wanyan Zongbi couldn't have thought of this kind of thing in advance, after all, he hadn't seen the rattan armor hook and sickle soldiers, and even if he did, it would be too late, and tomorrow's battle would inevitably wipe out the Tiefutu, so that this Jurchen heavy cavalry would be short-lived, and it might not even be passed down in the annals of history.

At this time, the soldiers outside reported that Xu Ning asked to see him.

Zhao Ta called him in, and Xu Ning saluted: "Lord Wang, everything is ready." ”

Zhao Ta picked up the picture of the Iron Floating Massacre: "Go back and copy some more and pass it to the Tengjia Army, so that the soldiers can see the appearance of this Iron Floating Massacre, and they will know more in good hearts." ”

Xu Ning took it, saluted again and left, tomorrow against Tiefutu, under his full command, this time it is even simpler than the previous Tie Harrier, the Iron Harrier has Hengshan Bubazi to cooperate, but Tiefutu does not, and he sent 10,000 sets of new rattan armor to Sui Dali, all of which are enough.

A moment after he left, the two brothers, Zhi Hanmei and Zhiwu Zhigang, arrived, and they all inquired about the strategy of fighting the Iron Floating Slaughter.

Zhao Ta smiled slightly, and waved his hand: "Tomorrow, break the Iron Floating Massacre, break the siege of Tokyo within three days, and defeat the Jin Army!" ”

Tokyo City, the Imperial Palace Zichen Hall, Emperor Daojun sits on the imperial steps.

His eyes were sunken at the moment, his face was haggard, and his originally black beard was a little grayer.

Emperor Daojun was looking at His Royal Highness, not only was he looking, but the civil and military officials on both sides were also looking.

The man was small, dressed in a shiny coat of green silk, in his forties, with a mustache, and looked quite energetic.

This person was Jiang Si, who had been ordered by Zhao Tan to sneak into Tokyo City from the Bianhe River.

After he entered the city, he first went to find Zhu Xiaoyi, Zhu Xiaoyi was relatively easy to find, because he was the person who helped Dongcheng in dirty clothes, and after passing Zhao Ta's message, Zhu Xiaoyi took him to find Luo Jinshui, and then he was going to go to the court to see Emperor Daojun.

But they are all cloth clothes, there is no direct way to enter the court, if Zhu Xiaoyi goes directly to Kaifeng Mansion to say that he is the person who sent the letter to the King of Qin, and he is afraid that there will be any chaos in the middle, and finally he has to find where Zhao Yan is.

Although Zhao Yan was still white at this time, Emperor Daojun's attitude had eased up, and he seemed to know that his family was a little too cranky before, but after he was degraded, he couldn't get over it again, so he kept dragging it off, but Zhao Yan was allowed to do other things, including going back to the palace to visit relatives, and he also gave him a house to live in.

As soon as Zhao Yan heard Jiang Siqianhe send a letter, he thought that it must be a big event, so he hurriedly entered the palace to find Emperor Daojun to report.

When Emperor Daojun heard that Zhao Ta had sent someone, he was so excited that his body trembled.

Before the Tai student petitioned, he was forced to kill five of the six thieves, only Tong Guan did not escape death in Tokyo, I thought that the matter would end here, who knew that in the past two days, Li Gang took the lead, and asked him to be inferior to the prince Zhao Huan.

He was furious at the beginning when he heard this, but then he hesitated, the Jin soldiers besieged the city, Tokyo was in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty had fallen into turmoil.

As for the idea of passing on the throne to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, he had already thrown it away.

Just when he was swaying from side to side, the rebel son sent someone to deliver the news, which immediately made him feel like a shot in the arm, could it be that the rebel son sent troops to help? Then what kind of position is it inferior! So he urgently summoned Jiang Si.

At this moment, Jiang Si had already sent a letterhead, reported Zhao Tan's words, said the news that the army had arrived, and was talking about the two kings' expedition to the west, and the civil and military forces on both sides were dumbfounded.

That is the real Western Expedition, comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, Emperor Daojun's long-lost eyes bloomed, and suddenly interrupted Jiang Si's words: "Qing family, you said that the reverse ...... The King of Qin calls himself the King of Great Light? ”

"Your Majesty, that's exactly what the prince calls the King of Great Light, sweeping beyond the territory, there is no rival." Jiang Si hurriedly said.

"Oh oh......" Emperor Daojun touched his beard, looked around and said, "What does this Great Bright King say?" ”

The ministers were also puzzled, after all, Jiang Si had no beginning or end to what he said, only this one word.

Emperor Daojun's gaze fell back on Jiang Si: "Aiqing, where does this King of Light come from?" ”

Jiang Si scratched his head when he heard this, he didn't know the specifics, but he heard that it was related to Manichaeism, so he thought: "Your Majesty, King Qin should be talking about the gods of Manichaeism in Persia, right?" ”

"Persian Manichaeism?" Emperor Daojun was stunned: "Isn't that Mingjiao?" ”

He didn't forget Fang La's matter, he remembered that the Central Plains Ming Sect was a branch of Manichaeism, how did this rebel get involved in this sect?

Jiang Si hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is different, the Central Plains Ming Sect back then was a false religion, and the thief chieftain Fang La did not have much connection with the Manichaeism in Persia, and only the Uighurs in the neighboring countries could be regarded as orthodox Manichaeism." ”

"It turned out to be a false religion." Emperor Daojun nodded, feeling that in fact, a big sect like Manichaeism is blooming everywhere, and there will naturally be no shortage of false religions, just like Buddhism and Taoism, there are not many fake ones in history, and then they want to get involved in the imperial power.

"Since it is the god of Manichaeism, does anyone know about this great light king?" He asked again.

The ministers looked at each other, and the Manichaean sect knew a lot, after all, it was passed over in the early Tang Dynasty, but it didn't become a climate intermittently, and it wasn't until Fang La that it set off a big storm.

However, in addition to worshipping the Great Ming God, also known as Mingzun, the Manichaeism in the Central Plains rarely mentions other gods.

Manichaeism is a polytheistic religion with many gods, but even ministers who have studied it have never heard of the name of the Great King of Light.

Looking at the ministers shaking their heads, Emperor Daojun wondered, "Could it be that this Great Bright King in Manichaeism is a rare god?" ”

He Li came out of the class at this time and said: "Official, when Fang La, Wei Chen had specially studied this Manichaeism, as far as the minister knows, there does not seem to be a great light king in this Manichaeism, and naturally it may be that the god system of the religion transmitted to the East is incomplete, and there are still some in Persia." ”

Emperor Daojun nodded: "If it is transmitted to the east, then King Qin should have no way of knowing, could it be that he is incarnated?" ”

Bai Shizhong said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme of Manichaeism is the Great Ming God, and the King of Qin calls himself the King of Light, and this is the same lineage, and the ministers think that His Royal Highness the King of Qin claims to be the son of God?" ”

"The Son of God proclaims himself?" Emperor Daojun's expression changed when he heard this, he was surprised and shocked, and after a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I understand!" ”

The ministers, including Jiang Si, looked at each other suspiciously, only to see that Emperor Daojun looked suddenly awakened: "It turns out that I am not only the Daojun of the Shenxiao Jade Qing Sect, but also the Supreme God of Great Light!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a silence in the hall, and the faces of the ministers showed surprise, and some even lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

The corners of Jiang Si's mouth twitched, and he hung his head deeply, not saying a word, but his shoulders shook slightly.

After a long time, I saw Bai Shizhong speak again, but this time he shouted: "Weichen, see Your Majesty the Supreme of the Great Light God, long live Your Majesty, long live long live!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bangyan, Qin Hui and many courtiers all saluted, Jiang Si peeked left and right, and also bent down and shouted.

Emperor Daojun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and at this moment, it seemed that all the long-lost spirits and spirits had returned, and his face was ruddy and glowing.

"Zhongqing is flat, flat." Emperor Daojun leaned over slightly: "I said why the King of Qin went west, invincible, it turned out to be the reincarnation of the Son of God, and I turned out to be the Supreme God of Light of Mani, this time I woke up late, but I asked the Son of God to wake up first." ”

All the ministers below said yes, and Emperor Daojun looked at He Li, who was also congratulating, but obviously looked weird, and said: "He Aiqing, since you are familiar with Manichaean affairs, after a while, you will go back to write the divine genealogy, restore it to the law, and announce it to the world, and you will also be responsible for the construction of the Temple of Light in the future." ”

He Li only felt that his temples were beating straight, and he said stubbornly: "Weichen obeys." ”

Emperor Daojun looked at Jiang Si again: "Jiang Aiqing gave up his life and forgot his death this time, sneaked into Tokyo, and sent great joy to me, and even I awakened to the fact that I am a great god of light, which is really hard work, I will make you a meritorious marquis, and then reward a mansion, hereditary replacement!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Si was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly threw down Xie En, but he was stunned in his heart, this is the marquis?
