"Playing in the reserve warehouse? What did the Chen family say? Ma Fengsun frowned. looked at the third elder of the sect on the side: "Old Zong, is that lady of the Chen family reliable?" ”

"A group of people gather in the building and don't fight, go and build a reserve warehouse?"

"Uncle Ma said carefully." But Zhang Renxian was dissatisfied. "The sister of the Chen family is my unmarried wife. How can you be so rude. ”

"Besides, the girl has already analyzed it. The abruptness of the building is mostly Zhu Su'er's plan. ”

"Children think they have a plan, but we have to do the opposite!"

Ma Fengsun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zong Laosan again, Zong Laosan nodded: "Old Ma, you didn't see it." Zhu Su's thieves razed everything around the building to the ground. ”

"Standing on that high building, you can see it all over! If we attack, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

"I was also thinking about beating the building at first, but the princess of the Chen family said that this was the thief's plan."

"After burning the reserve warehouse and running out of food, the group of refugees in the west of the city will inevitably be restless again. Although it was a detour, it was the same result. ”

"Besides, the puppet dynasty can give orders, and now they are all staying in that building!"

"Persimmons should be picked up and pinched softly. This reserve warehouse must now be leaderless......"

"......" Ma Fengsun thought about it, and it was right to say so. …… I just can't personally kill the thief Zhu Su, I'm really unwilling. ”

"Just let him live a few more days." Zhang Ren sneered. "When the second brother comes back, he will take the Zhu Su children's sacrifice flag and officially raise troops to fight against the Ming!"

Speaking of the second child of the Zhang family who is not here, for some reason, the members of the Zhang family, who were still a little hesitant, changed their momentum again.

They said on this side that the contents of the carriage had been unloaded one by one. In addition to the blades, there were also pieces of armor that shone with a cold light. He even dragged out two pieces of foot armor made of thousands of iron armor leaf nails. In the faint light of the fire, it is like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour.

"You've made so many good things!" Zong Laosan looked at Ma Fengsun in shock.

"It's not easy to get these things." Ma Fengsun raised his head and said proudly: "There are more than 50 pieces of iron armor!" It's enough to break the enemy! ”

"These two pieces of step armor were secretly cast according to the system of the former Song Dynasty. Wear it on the body, the sword is hard to hurt! ”

"Don't rob it, this step of the armor, the young master must wear one."

"I have a lot of strength, so I'll wear the other one!" Zong Laosan's eyes lit up. "In this battle, if you don't cut off the heads of the ten Ming dogs, I will write the word upside down from now on!"

Looking at these armors, a group of people were even more confident in the battle for a while. It was only a hundred steps away from the government's warehouse, and they put on the armor here.

A group of people in the courtyard were in high spirits, but no one noticed that on a crooked-necked tree outside the courtyard, a person was hiding in the darkness of the canopy, quietly watching the situation in the courtyard.

It was the Jinyi guard who secretly followed behind the Ma family's convoy.

The Ma family took the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people mostly went out at home to keep the New Year, and they walked on small roads, thinking that they were very safe, but they did not expect that there was indeed no one on the road on Chinese New Year's Eve, but their team of cars and horses also seemed very conspicuous, and they couldn't shake off their tails if they wanted to. Among the brocade guards, there was naturally no shortage of spies who could lie high and low, and they easily followed them to find this courtyard.

"Unexpectedly...... There are so many armor ......"

"You must report to Captain Di immediately......"

The spy was secretly frightened, quietly touched the tree, and hurried to report to Di Meng, who was setting up an ambush.

Di Meng took Cao Yuan and the more than 1,000 Suzhou guards borrowed "surrendered soldiers", and was waiting in the mansion when he suddenly got the news of the secret agent, and was shocked.

"You mean, the thieves still have armor?"

"Yes. It's not real in the dark, but roughly speaking, there must be dozens of them! The brocade guard spy said.

"More than dozens of ......" Di Meng frowned, and Cao Yuan's face behind him changed greatly. This was unexpected, they really didn't expect that the thieves would have the foundation and strength to be able to make up dozens of armors.

As the so-called "one top three crossbows, three top three into the underworld", and ordinary people think of "restricted swords", in ancient times, for swords and other sharp weapons, in fact, the imperial court did not control too strictly.

After all, in ancient times, the living environment of the people was harsh, and there were some snakes, insects and beasts on the mountain on the road, and it was common to find a blacksmith shop to build a sword for self-defense. Even if there are occasional government decrees, it is difficult to enforce them. After all, whether it is a weapon or a kitchen knife to kill pigs, it only depends on how people want to transport it, right?

But armor is different. Regardless of the dynasties, armor is one of the armaments held by the people "strictly forbidden" by the imperial government. Even more than the most lethal weapon, the "military crossbow", it was to make the imperial court fearful. With one body of Tibetan armor, it can withstand three crossbows. If the Tibetan armor reaches three, it should be punished as a crime of rebellion, and it can be cut directly by pulling it to the entrance of the vegetable market.

One of the reasons is that armor is armament, and ordinary people don't need to hide armor at all, unless they have bad intentions; Another reason is that armor is a sharp weapon in battle, and in war, wearing a full suit of armor can often exert extremely terrifying strength.

A fierce general wearing armor is often capable of dozens of soldiers who only wear leather armor and cotton clothes. The armor-piercing sword made of fine iron is difficult to injure, and as long as it protects the vital parts, it can often be slashed and killed wantonly in the enemy formation, invincible; If you use armor to charge into battle, you can often play a situation that makes the enemy fearful, or even wins more with less:

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, personally led the armored Xuanjia cavalry army, with 3,500 people, directly killed into the army of 100,000 people of the Zhengxia coalition army, and the 100,000 people killed were directly dispersed, and the two kings were captured in a battle; The infantry of the Song Dynasty wore "foot armor" to resist riding on foot, and they actually kept the national honor of the Great Song Dynasty in the gap between the two cavalry powers of Liaoxia.

Even later, the Tatar Qing Taizu Nurhachi raised troops, and the biggest reliance was only thirteen pairs of armor. It's just cotton armor inlaid with iron sheets; The national surname Ye Zheng successfully resisted the Qing Dynasty, and he relied on the "Iron Man Army", an infantry corps under his command with heavy armor. In the Battle of Taiwan, these armor soldiers launched more than a dozen charges against the fire of foreign guns, and finally helped Zheng Chenggong recover the whole of Taiwan.

"There are so many piercing armor...... What our army is equipped with is nothing more than leather armor! Qianhu Cao Yuan's face was a little pale. Suzhou Wei also has armor, but they have always been disgusted by Yang Lu, how can they be equipped with extremely valuable iron armor?

"If they rush in with armor, we will not be able to withstand it." Di Meng also thought.

Their original plan was to set up an ambush in the government, wait for those thieves to enter, and then suddenly kill them, relying on their more than 1,000 people to close the door and beat the dogs, and be sure to bring out this group of thieves who were finally lured out of the pot.

But now it seems that even if they kill the thieves by surprise, they are likely to rush into the reserve warehouse and set fire to the grain with the help of those dozens of armor soldiers.

I remembered that when Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong trained them, he taught them that the battle formation is changing rapidly, and even if they are prepared for everything, they may be disrupted by some unexpected circumstances. Di Meng now has a deep understanding of this.

"General Di, what should I do?" Cao Yuan asked Di Meng.

“…… Now I'm going to ask Mr. Yao again, I'm afraid it's too late......" Di Meng gritted his teeth. Forced to put away the panic, thinking of a way to make up for the situation.

Grandpa Guo once said that at this time, the most important thing is for the generals to stay calm and make decisions as soon as possible. No matter whether the decision is clever or not, it is better than messing up the battle first!

"Send someone to Suzhou Wei for help!" Di Meng has made up his mind. He decided to overturn the strategy ordered by Mr. Yao and His Highness in advance, and let himself take responsibility and use his own decisions to achieve the strategic goals set by His Highness.

"General Cao, bring someone with me."

Since they are worried about using heavy armor to charge into battle, then they only need to thicken the depth of the military formation.

"Give up the strategy of ambush, let's go outside and use our dignified army to annihilate the thieves head-on!"
