"This kind of tactic in which all men and horses are wearing heavy armor has been used by the Western Xia people, and it is called the Iron Harrier, but the armor of this Iron Floating Tu is stronger and heavier than the Iron Harrier!"

Lu Zhishen looked at the armor and said, I think he had seen the Xixia Iron Harrier when he was in the Western Army, but these heavy armored cavalry made the Western Army suffer a lot, and ordinary bows and crossbows could not hurt at all. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Can you really stand this kind of armor when an ordinary soldier wears it?"

Sun An weighed the weight of the armor, it didn't matter if he wore this kind of heavy armor, but ordinary soldiers didn't have the same great strength as him.

Hua Rong opened his bow and shot an arrow at the iron armor, and the arrow could only leave a scratch when it was missed.

"Generally, a hard bow can't shoot through, and if you want to effectively kill the enemy, you need at least a crossbow, and armor-piercing arrows may not work."

Hua Rong shook his head and said, the defensive power of this heavy armor is already comparable to a shield.

Du Yan swung the spear of the eight snakes in his hand, stabbing straight at the armor, but the result was still unable to break through the defense, so he could only shake his head.

"What the master said is good, the armor of this Iron Floating Tu is very similar to the Iron Harrier, but it is better than the Iron Harrier, and only a few people in the Jurchen can wear such heavy armor to fight."

Xu Guanzhong looked at Lu Zhishen and smiled.

"Giving birth to a girl? Is there still a mature woman really? ”

Ruan Xiaowu asked curiously.

"Yes, the Jurchens are divided into raw Jurchens and mature Jurchens."

Xu Guanzhong nodded.

"The earliest people who lived in the land of Liaodong were the Sushen, Lulou, Beji and other tribes, and later Yelu Abaoji wiped out the Bohai State and called the people of Heishui Jin people Jurchen."

"At that time, the Jurchens were real barbarians, wearing animal skins and holding wooden sticks, and they couldn't even make a decent house, and most of them just lived in caves or shacks."

"Yelu Abaoji moved some Jurchens south and incorporated them into Liao, called mature Jurchens; The Jurchens who stayed in their hometown, who were not naturalized in Liao, were called Jurchens. ”

Xu Guanzhong first introduced the situation of the Jurchens.

"This time, the Wanyan Aguda who raised troops against Liao and established the Jin State was to give birth to Jurchen, but in fact, this time the army was born Jurchen and mature Nuzhen have been plotting for a long time."

Xu Guanzhong spoke again.

"Wanyan Aguda said to the outside world that he was humiliated by the Liao lord at the first fish banquet, so he rose up to resist, but the Jurchen is a subsidiary clan of the Khitan people, what can the verbal humiliation at the banquet be?"

"The real problem is the oppression of the Jurchens by the Khitans, who ask for a large number of horses, northern pearls, raw gold, ginseng, mink, deer antlers, pine nuts and young girls every year, and even pay a large amount of Haidongqing tribute over the years."

"The land of the black water where the Jurchens live is already in a harsh environment, the annual output is limited, and the Khitans demand excessively, and the Jurchen tribes have long been unable to bear it."

"And the mature woman is even more unbearable, the Khitans directly treat them as slaves, let them do all the hard work, and the Khitans are only responsible for enjoyment."

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and said.

"So that's the case, after I finished speaking, how could Yan Agu defeat the Liao State so quickly by beating a small tribe, it turned out that it had been planned for a long time, and this can be regarded as a few generations of hard work."

Sun Lei nodded and said, the rise of a nation cannot be a matter of one or two days.

"Although the Jurchens have just established a country, their strength should not be underestimated. Liao, Western Xia, and Great Song are not their opponents. Brother, please look at this armor, this is the result of many techniques. ”

"Part of this iron-smelting technology comes from the Central Plains, but it is not exactly the same, and there are also iron-smelting techniques from the West. The younger brother inquired, and the Liao people introduced the iron-smelting technology of the Western Regions through the grassland, but the Liao people felt that the work of striking iron was dirty and tiring, and it was not something that the nobles should do, so they handed everything over to the mature women, which made the mature women's iron-smelting technology advance by leaps and bounds, and created this kind of armor worn by the iron float. ”

"This kind of armor is heavy, ordinary people can't wear it, but the birth girl is really an exception, they survive in the white mountains and black waters all the year round, their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, wearing this armor is like a tiger with wings, and there is the Liaodong war horse, which is different from the dwarf of the Mongolian horse, the delicate horse of the Western Regions, the size of the Liaodong horse is large, the endurance and adaptability are strong, and the armor and stomach are not affected. As soon as the two were superimposed, they became the Iron Floating Massacre that swept through the Khitans. ”

Xu Guanzhong pointed to the armor and said, Tiefu Tu can be said to have come into being by various coincidences, which is a great threat.

"I heard that the Western Xia Iron Harrier also learned it from the Western Regions, and he likes heavy armored cavalry very much over there!"

Sun An opened his mouth and said, Western Xia borders the Uighurs in the Western Regions, and I heard that they like to wear armor all over their bodies, and even horses have to wear armor.

"It's possible!"

Sun Lei nodded and said, the West at this time should be the period of the Holy Roman Empire, the Crusaders should be on the Eastern Crusade, where people really like the legion impact tactics, and the heavily armored cavalry is the most preferred, there is no way that the Westerners at this time will not use their brains.

"It seems that the Jurchens are really difficult to deal with."

Li Zhu frowned and said, the Jurchens are now equipped with both combat effectiveness and elite, and it is really difficult to deal with under the superposition.

"Fortunately, my brother is far-sighted, we have a sharp weapon like artillery in Liangshan, and the cracked rocks in the mountains are all within a snap of a finger, and this iron armor can't stop it."

Xu Guanzhong saw that everyone's faces were heavy and said good news, the artillery is specialized in this kind of heavy armored cavalry, and no matter how thick the armor is, it can't carry it with one shot.

"It's a pity that the artillery is too heavy and not very convenient to use."

Sun Lei shook his head, the current artillery is far from the point of the left and right battlefields, especially against the flexible cavalry, the Jurchens can have heavy cavalry Tiefutu, and they must also have light cavalry cover.

"According to the information observed, the Jurchens dispatched 1,000 Iron Floating Slaughter, 3,000 kidnappers and horses this time, and the rest are servant troops!"

"Brother, in two days, the Jurchens should attack Liaoyang City, if my brother is interested, you can go to the mountains by Liaoyang to have a look."

Xu Guanzhong said.

"Can you see it?"

Sun Lei was very interested, the Jurchens could sweep the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty in just a dozen years, and he was very curious about what the Jurchens' combat power was.

"There is a high mountain in Liaoyang City, which can overlook the battlefield, and the mountain is close to the Liao River, so it can be withdrawn at any time."

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, he had already surveyed the terrain, and he was originally going to take a look by himself, but now that Sun Lei is interested, he naturally invited Sun Lei to go.

"Okay, let's go and see it then!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"What's going on over there in Liao?"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong again and asked.

"Since Xiao Hanjianu and Zhang Lin were defeated by the Jurchens, the Liao State has not reacted, and the soldiers and horses are all in Zhongjing Road, and it seems that they are preparing to give up Tokyo Road."

Xu Guanzhong said.

"So bearable? The entire Liaodong Plain gave up? ”

Sun Lei frowned and asked, Liaodong is a fertile soil, and it is also stable in the five capitals of Liao, and it is also stable in Shangjing Road and Xijing Road, if you give up Liaoguo, not only will your vitality be greatly damaged, but you will also lose face.

"Brother, since the Jurchen started the army, the Liao State has been defeated one after another, with heavy casualties, and the rest of the dependent tribes have seen the Khitans so unbeaten, and they are also detached from Germany, and now the soldiers and horses that the Liao State can mobilize are very limited."

Xu Guanzhong explained that the Liao army was not all Khitans, and that there would be wars that would recruit foreign races in the country as servant troops, and no one could compete with the Khitans before, but now that the Jurchens stood up and beat the Khitans, other ethnic groups would no longer listen to the Khitans.
