Chapter 49 Troops

"Hey, it's my fault that the soldiers are working so the front line that they even have to limit their armor." Liu Chan sighed, and said to Zhao Hao: "Send a message to the craftsman and ask them to send armor over, and be sure to ensure that all members of the Yue family army are armoured." ”

In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the fear of the Jin State invading the south again, the entire imperial court attached great importance to the development of military equipment. At the beginning of the founding of the country, even if the financial resources were limited, the Song Dynasty invested a lot of money to manufacture new weapons and equipment, and at the same time carried out a large reform of those old weapons and equipment. And just like that, it didn't take long for the entire country to pile up with weapons. Even after that, you can build a number of machines a day, and the number of mountains can accumulate. But as said, the number of weapons that have been built is very large, but most of them are hidden in the treasury to prevent the Jin Kingdom from attacking the city.

More importantly, the Southern Song Dynasty not only manufactured a large number of weapons, but also paid special attention to the quality of weapons. Therefore, the weapons of the Southern Song Dynasty were not only large in number and large in scale, but also of high quality. It can be said that the Song Dynasty in this period had the sharpest sword in the world, but it did not have the idea of being invincible in the world.

On the contrary, the Song Dynasty's priority was actually in a corner. The Song Dynasty gave up the idea that the best defense was to attack, gave up the north, gave up dignity, and only turned to the war to make their home a turtle shell, so that the Jin State could not be attacked. As for the Northern Expedition, as for the lives of the soldiers, they didn't care.

The whole country of the Song Dynasty went wrong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yue Fei said excitedly. Once the armor supply is complete, the combat effectiveness of the Yuejia army can be raised to a higher level, and the armor of the Beiwei army can also be heavier.

What Yue Fei seeks is not to let the Beiwei Army reach the level of the Iron Floating Slaughter, but to surpass. What heavy armor, the back army must be super heavy armor, an absolute torrent of steel.

"Alright, alright, that's the back army, right?" Liu Chan looked at the heavy armored cavalry slowly walking in the distance and asked, looking not so strong.

"Yes, this is the Chen's imitation of the Jin Army's Tiefutu formation. However, the idea of a trio of Iron Floaters has been abandoned, so it is more flexible. It's a pity that there are weaknesses now.,Chen is still thinking about whether there is a way to improve.。 "The three of them were connected by a rope to prevent anyone from escaping on the battlefield. But in Yue Fei's opinion, this kind of thinking is too stupid, soldiers are not fat pigs, as long as sufficient discipline is ensured, no one will dare to retreat on the battlefield.

When I first looked at it, the Beiwei Army was just a small dot in the distance, and it was not very strong. But when they came step by step from a distance, and when they came out of nowhere, they found that they didn't have any fierce momentum, nor did they have any special movements, they just moved forward calmly, and what kind of combat skills were not shown, but it was the friction between the armor, and the heaviness of the horse's footsteps, which made Liu Chan fall into silence, too strong, just seeing the existence of the Beiwei army, there was a kind of spiritual shock.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, leaving a shallow footprint, slowly moving forward with a slight vibration, the movement did not appear flexible, nor should it be sensitive, but the advancing posture gave all the onlookers a sense of oppression and suffocation of Taiyue's horizontal movement!

A group of legions with horses covered in heavy armor will make you breathless even if they stand in front of you, especially if they are walking now. The sound of thunderous horses' hooves makes people shudder.

"Goo." Hu Yantong swallowed his saliva, and the expression that he originally wanted to ridicule had completely disappeared. He has always felt that his own army must be stronger than the Yue family's army, you see that the Yue's army is not even equipped with armor, and he still wants to compare with his own Han army, what do you want.

In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, there have always been different opinions about Yue Feiqiang or Han Shizhongqiang in the army, although the relationship between the two is relatively good, but the soldiers below are always comparing with each other. Han Jiajun thought that he was the elite of the Song Dynasty Praetorian Guard, and Yue Jiajun thought that he was. Although the soldiers of the two often quarreled over this, it was never fruitful. Because when Han Shizhong became famous, Yue Fei was still a hairy boy; When Yue Fei became famous, Han Shizhong didn't lead much troops.

But no matter how much they quarreled, their subordinates looked down on Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, who were on the same level as them, and thought that they had lost the dignity of the Praetorian Guard.

But now, just looking at the form of the heavily armored cavalry of the Beiwei Army, Hu Yantong fell into silence, the accumulation of steel can make people feel the strength and reality the most, and now the Beiwei Army is like this, it is so powerful.

"It's really outrageous." The corners of Hu Yantong's mouth twitched and looked at Yue Fei, is this really a human being? Is this still human? This kind of armor has surpassed their imagination, even if the Han family army directly collides with the back army, can it really be knocked over? Who the hell got knocked over!

Hu Yantong had a trace of suspicion about Han Shizhong, it was really the right choice to give up the heavy armored cavalry. How could he have a kind of heavy cavalry is the right direction for the future, how could he have a kind of idea that heavy armored cavalry is invincible. However, he also did not admit that Han Shizhong was weaker than Yue Fei, because the Beiwei Army was originally part of the Han Family's army, and the main generals were all Han Family's people, even if the main general would be Yue Fei's son.

Liu Chan watched the Beiwei army walk slowly, exhaled a long breath, and when he saw the Beiwei army, he saw the hope of the future Song Dynasty. I'm afraid that all sword attacks don't have any meaning for this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that they can only concentrate on attacking their horse legs, as Liu Qi said.

Liu Chan had never felt the strength of the Iron Floating Slaughter, nor did he know what the strength of the Iron Floating Slaughter was, because everything he had felt was already dead. Even generals like Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who have been on the front line for more than ten years, may have the opportunity to see it. As for the fight, it really means that only the lucky ones will survive. But today, he felt that the Iron Float might only be able to deal with the back army.

"Your Majesty, please review."

"Well, yes, pretty good." Liu Chan likes this kind of steel torrent, and he looks invincible on the battlefield, and he likes it very much. He looked at Yue Fei and said, "You are the best, in the future, if the Wei army needs armor, the Craftsman Supervision Council will fully cooperate, and never let these soldiers be inferior in armor."

"Your Majesty, the people of the Imperial City Division have a secret letter delivered." Zhao Hao suddenly walked over and handed Liu Chan a secret letter with a blue seal.

Wang Gui next to Yue Fei looked a little unnatural, he knew what that secret letter represented, it represented a hundred thousand urgency, and it represented swearing with the life of the blue shadow guard lurking in the Jin Kingdom, this news was a major event. It seems that the Jin Kingdom has sent troops, but I don't know how many came, Wang Gui thought in his heart.

Liu Chan took the letter, read it calmly, and then smiled at Yue Fei and said: "The Jin State actually raised the strength of the whole country to attack Shunchang, 100,000 Jin troops, including 10,000 Tiefutu and 20,000 kidnappers and horses. ”

Yue Fei's footsteps swayed, and the difference was about to faint, but fortunately, Wang Gui next to him helped him, so he didn't lose his temper. The other generals looked at each other with a hint of fear, as if they wanted to see what was different on the faces of others.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "No matter how you have this expression, be more relaxed, there are 100,000 from the Jin Kingdom, but there are also 170,000 in my dynasty, so you don't have to look like this." ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to Yuncheng to sit down, General Han and I can just fight with the Golden Vulture in Shunchang, and we will never let you down." Yue Fei was a little worried, a little afraid that Shunchang would be the second Bianliang, so he persuaded Liu Chan.

"No, I'm going to meet the Golden Vulture for a while and see what kind of person the Golden Vulture is. And according to the secret letter, it is possible that the golden vulture will reach Shunchang the day after tomorrow, and there is no time, so it must be deployed immediately. Summoned Han Shizhong, the hall deliberated. Liu Chan said in an unquestionable tone.

hall

The atmosphere was dull, and everyone was in a nervous state, constantly looking at the door, as if they were expecting Han Shizhong's arrival, and as if they hoped that he could come slowly.

But in the end, Han Shizhong still arrived, he was in a hurry, and as soon as he saw Liu Chan, he said: "The minister implores His Majesty to sit in Yuncheng in case of accidents." ”

"No, no. Don't say anything about Liangchen, come over and discuss countermeasures. Now the priority is how to defeat the Golden Vultures, rather than worrying about whether I want to take control of Yuncheng. Liu Chan's words calmed down many nervous generals, after all, the emperor is working the front line, what are you afraid of, your life is worth the emperor.

The corners of Han Shizhong's mouth twitched, when did His Majesty become so decisive, but this can boost morale. He looked at the map: "Back to Your Majesty, although the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom sound a lot, they are actually not worried. Shunchang City Gao Chijian, as long as he plans properly, he may not be able to slaughter the 100,000 army. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Liu Chan asked curiously.

"Although Shunchang is a strategic place in the north, the Golden Vulture may not be able to suppress all the 100,000 troops, and will inevitably send a vanguard army to test the situation of our dynasty first. The enemy army is in the dark, our army is in the light, which is not good for our army. But as long as we can give Jin Wushu an illusion that Shunchang can't break through in a short time, he will inevitably divide his troops to attack, and once the troops are divided, we can eat them little by little. ”

"Well, why did the Golden Vulture divide its troops?" Liu Chan is still a little puzzled, why can't he break through in a short time, so he will divide his troops?

"Back to Your Majesty, Jin Wushu is too proud and rarely looks down on others. This is true even in the country of gold. He definitely wants to achieve the greatest victory with the least number of troops, Shunchang cannot be broken in a short time, he will inevitably make a detour to Luoyang, first attack Luoyang, Yuncheng, and finally surround Shunchang. Yue Fei replied for Han Shizhong.

This tactic is similar to when Yue Fei captured Yuncheng, Yue Fei and Jin Wushu are both bold people, and their ideas are also very similar.

"You know a lot about the Golden Vultures."

"Studied." Of course, he has studied that Jin Wushu is the pillar of the next generation of the Jin Kingdom, and Han Shizhong deliberately collected all the information about him and knew what kind of person Jin Wushu was. Yue Fei, on the other hand, often fought against the Golden Vulture in the north, and he was also very aware of the personality of the Golden Vulture.

"Since this is the case, then send a message to Liu Qi and order him to prepare for war." Liu Chan commanded, and then asked Han Shizhong: "But how can you give the Golden Vulture the illusion that it can't be broken in a short period of time?" ”

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths smiled slightly.
