The Iron Castle That Is Hard to Destroy
"Marshal, this humble servant is willing to lead the army to kill them!”
At this moment, a young general said anxiously.
"Zhang Ze, don't underestimate that bandit!”
Yuchi Gong said.
This Zhang Ze was Zhang Shigui's son. This expedition was also requested by Zhang Shigui to gain some experience.
Yuchi Gong didn't dare to let this inexperienced brat directly walk onto the battlefield.
Even if the opponents only looked like a few hundred people.
"Di Zhiyong! Take 2,000 soldiers and test the waters!”
Yuchi Gong said directly.
When the army went out, they would definitely win the first battle!
Otherwise, it would have a negative impact on the morale of the entire army.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky parted, revealing the sun.
Instantly, Yuchi Gong saw a flash of light ahead.
"What armor is that? Why is it so dazzling?"
Yuchi Gong was immediately attracted.
"Marshal! Have you forgotten that it was once mentioned by Commander Liu Jindao of the Hundred Cavalry Division…Steel armor!"
Yuchi Baolin reminded.
"Steel armor?" Yuchi Gong remembered." Damn it, how could this bunch of bandits be so rich!”
Yuchi Gong made a rough estimate.
That shiny steel armor was at least 30 pounds of steel.
The price of steel alone could be sold for about 1,000 to 1,500 strings.
Yuchi Gong rolled his eyes.
Was this still a f * cking armor?
This was wearing gold on his body!
At least half of the seven hundred people in front of him were wearing this shiny steel armor.、
Even if it was calculated according to 1,000 strings, it would still cost 350,000 strings of copper coins!
Steel worth 350,000 copper coins was worn on a group of bandits just like that?
When did this bandit become so rich?
"Where did Su Yan get so many copper coins?”
Yuchi Gong blurted out.
At the same time, he was also calculating in his heart.
After this battle, he would at least get a hundred sets of steel armor.
This was a hundred thousand copper coins.
Zhang Ze was a little depressed that he didn't manage to get the lead position, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of Yuchi Gong.
"Commander, you should ask him where he got so much steel…" Zhang Ze hurriedly said.
Yuchi Gong was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
This was not a matter of money at all.
It was a question of whether or not there was a problem.
A set of armor should at least weigh 30 jin, right?
400 sets would be 12,000 jin!
Twelve thousand jin of steel!
Ten thousand catties of copper was easy to get.
Where could one find ten thousand catties of steel?
Even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Even the Great Tang Imperial Court had never stored so much steel!
"F * ck, does this bandit leader have steel-making skills?”
The art of refining steel was the dream of every blacksmith.
"I don't care so much! Di Zhiyong, I don't think this group of people wearing steel armor is easy to deal with. Bring 3,000 soldiers out and make sure they all stay!”
"Since you dare to come out! Then don't go back!"
Yuchi Gong said coldly.
...
Soon, the Tang army was divided into three thousand infantry formations.
It was also a similar horizontal line.
However, unlike the Ming army, the Tang army had a row of swordsmen and shield-bearers in front of them. They used their shields to protect the front.
As the Ming army was equipped with chest plate armor, they canceled this row and strengthened it with a row of archers.
When the two sides were about eighty steps away from each other.
The Tang army took the lead in shooting arrows!
Arrows rained down from the sky.
The Ming soldiers did not stop. They only lowered their heads slightly. Their wide hats were like bamboo hats. The arrows falling from the sky could only create sparks on their helmets.
Except for a small number of unlucky ones who were injured by the arrows piercing through the gaps.
It could be said that the entire infantry formation had not suffered any losses.
When Su Yan saw this scene, he suddenly thought of…
Perhaps when the production of steel armor increased a little, they could even line up and charge forward to fight hand-to-hand.
If they were to engage in close combat, an army equipped with steel armor would obviously have a huge advantage.
On the other side.
When Yuchi Gong saw this scene, he could not help but gasp.
"Damn it…This was a group of steel cans. How could they fight?”
At this moment, the Ming army's archers began to counterattack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
They were different from the Ming army who were equipped with steel armor and helmets.
Most of the armors on the Tang army's side were made of leather. Even a few of them were equipped with iron scales, so the probability of being injured by arrows was still very high.
Immediately, the Tang soldiers fell down in rows as the arrows rained down.
The crossbowmen on both sides were desperately shooting arrows.
On the other side, there were constant sounds of arrows being shot and screams.，
The other side was mostly just tinkling sparks.
This kind of battle was simply sending food away.
This can't go on!
Di Zhiyong, the commander of the Tang army in this battle, knew this.
If they continued to shoot at each other like this, they would probably run out of bullets soon.
"Charge! Charge forward! Fight hand-to-hand!"
Di Zhiyong shouted loudly!
"Form the formation! Hurry up! Level the spear!"
Shan Ying hurriedly ordered.
"Quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Under the urging of his great god, the drumbeats of the march became more and more intense!
The Ming army's " canned spearmen " were also moving faster and faster. In the end, they were already running.
Meanwhile, the spears of the first two factions were all flat.
The entire formation was like a moving forest of spears!
The 700 people who were sent out to fight had all received long-term training in the pikemen training camp or the archer training camp. Their loyalty was guaranteed!
"Long live the Great Tang!"
" Long live Ming King!!"
Both sides were shouting different slogans.
Then, the spears of the Ming army collided with the round shields of the Tang army.
The sturdy round shield collided with the sharp and hard steel spearhead.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
A terrifying voice sounded.
Almost all the Tang soldiers in the first row were pierced through.
The Ming army's spearman, whose spear was stuck in his flesh, immediately let go. He pulled out a large horizontal saber from his waist and pointed it straight ahead!!
A horizontal saber was also a weapon used for stabbing!
"Kill!"
The formation did not change. The Ming army was like a wall as they walked forward with their heads covered.
However, the Tang army's horizontal knives could not cut through the steel armor, nor could their spears pierce through it.
The entire square formation formed an indestructible steel castle!
