In reality, even if a soldier wearing leather armor was thin and weak, he could still deal with two or three ordinary people without armor.
If it was chainmail and leather armor, it could deal with four or five people. If it was people like Zhu Bomu and Li Dao who had iron armor on the outside, chainmail in the middle, and leather armor on the inside, it was normal for one to deal with seven or eight people.
As long as one had three layers of armor, they would be invincible on the battlefield unless they were hit by cavalry or infantry using blunt weapons.
Don't underestimate firearms and arrows. In this era, other than the large-caliber firearms that required two people to carry, other firearms were basically unable to kill a soldier wearing triple armor from the chest.
Outside of Russia, he was shot in the chest, but this old man was fine because the bullet was stuck in his second layer of cotton armor and did not even penetrate his third layer of armor.
As for the arrows, there was no need to talk about it. In the fourth year of Wude, when Li Shimin fought against Wang Shichong, he personally led the cavalry to charge at the enemy like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He joined forces with Qu Tutong's infantry and fought hard to kill the enemy.
In order to figure out the distribution of Wang Shichong's forces, Li Shimin came to the fire reconnaissance and personally led dozens of elite cavalry into the enemy line.
Li Shi Min's fearlessness shocked Wang Shi Chong. At the same time, he felt that this was a good opportunity to kill him, so he ordered his soldiers to surround Li Shi Min and kill him.
However, Wang Shichong did not manage to surround Li Shimin until he reached the back of his position.
Wang Shichong's thousand cavalry also noticed this situation and immediately chased after Li Shiming. Arrows rained down on Li Shiming, and Li Shiming desperately waved his sword.
Hundreds of arrows had caused his mount to be shot dead, and he had fallen off his horse like a dog gnawing on mud. He had also been shot like a hedgehog.
In the end, nothing happened to this fellow after the battle. The arrow did not deal any damage to him, but Wang Shichong's soldiers were the ones who were frightened.
Not to mention the distant events, just in the recent Wanli War of Korea, during the Battle of Jade Hoof Gym, Tachibana Munehide had been shot by the Ming Dynasty cavalry into a porcupine, shocking the surrounding people. In the end, this guy was fine.
However, the funny thing was that when he saw that Tachibana Munehide was fine, he also followed his example and attacked the Ming army. In the end, he was shot through by Li Rusong's younger brother, Li Rumei, and died on the spot.
Therefore, after knowing that the guards guarding the gate of the Rising Dragon Mansion in Jiaozhi were all wearing leather armor, Zhu Bomu gave up the idea of using the Brocade Guard to attack the southern city gate.
After giving up on this idea, Zhu Bomu couldn't think of any good strategy to defeat the enemy. After a moment of silence, he said,"
"No, maybe they can break through the city gate!”
"What do you mean?" Li Dao and Shen Lian raised their heads in confusion. Zhu Bomu continued,"
"There must be Han women or children among those who are being used as able-bodied men. As long as the Jinyiwei gives each of them a small packet of gunpowder, they can pile the gunpowder together when they go out of the city to collect sulfur.”
"Then, if the Embroidered Uniform Guards take the opportunity to disperse the guards at the city gate, they might be able to use gunpowder to blow up the city gate while they are dispersing them!”
"After all, the Rising Dragon Mansion is under martial law now. As long as women and children go out, they will immediately close the city gates.”
"As long as the timing is right, we can use sandbags to bury the gunpowder at the city gate.”
Zhu Bomu's thoughts were wild and unconstrained, but Li Dao had to pour cold water on him,"
"Although the method is good, the power of gunpowder is not enough to break through the one-foot-thick city gate of the Rising Dragon Mansion.”
"Moreover, gunpowder will be destroyed if it meets water. We also have to consider the weather. Secondly, the construction of the city gate of the Rising Dragon Mansion is very strict.”
"Although the gate of the Rising Dragon Mansion is made of wood, it is made of carefully selected ironwood.
"Ironwood is relatively hard, and it will be wrapped with iron sheets and copper nails outside the wooden door. This is a measure to prevent it from being damaged by others.”
"That's right!" Hearing Li Dao's words, Shen Lian added,""Moreover, the moat outside the Rising Dragon Mansion is 70 feet wide, which is the river water leading to the Red River. Without the guards setting down the city gate bridge, it will be difficult to cross.”
"Even if we blow up the city gates, as long as the guards at the south gate pull up the city gate bridge, we will still be left with only a new sigh!”
"Alright, I didn't think about the moat.”Hearing his two subordinates refuting him, Zhu Bomu shook his head helplessly.
He wasn't angry. After all, he was a soldier who was 100% loyal to the system. It was for his own good to oppose him.
Looking at Zhu Bomu's appearance, Li Dao seemed to feel that he had gone a little too far, but now that he had said it, it was useless to redeem himself. Moreover, it seemed that Wansui was not angry.
Thinking about it, Li Dao touched his forehead and said with a headache,"Looks like we can only attack Zheng Gang by force. After defeating him, we can seize his ship and cross south to attack the city, or we can directly subdue him!”
"Don't even think about the latter. Zheng Gang has a strong personality. After knowing that he was defeated, he probably didn't even need us to say anything before he drew his sword and committed suicide.”Zhu Bomu had seen many Jinyiwei's analysis of Zheng Gang, so he knew his character very well.
Subduing Zheng Gang was simply impossible. The difficulty was no less than Zhu Bomu making Kang Mazi strip.
