Chapter 131 Zhu Yuanzhang: Which of you will chop me up! (Please subscribe!!)
Since there is armor, there is no reason why everyone should not wear it. After all, armor in ancient times was no less than a modern tank and was a heavy equipment!
so thick!
So light!
This is the common feeling of Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone after putting on armor.
This set of armor is almost armed to the teeth, with a helmet, mask, breastplate, and arms and limbs protected, but it is only one-tenth the weight of normal armor, and can be worn by normal adults.
At first, Li Shanchang was a little worried that the armor would weigh him down, but after putting it on, he found that there was no pressure at all.
"Your Majesty, this armor can't be fake, is it? It's so light." Li Shanchang jumped on the spot and was still able to get off the ground. You must know that he is an old man in his 60s!
Therefore, he naturally doubted the authenticity of the armor and worried that Ouyang Lun would use fake armor to deceive the people into dying.
Zhu Yuanzhang also had this worry. There was no way that the weight difference between this armor and normal armor was too big. He believed it if he said it was made of paper. After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out his saber and carefully scratched and pulled it on the armor. As a result, there was even a line on the armor. There are no traces.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes light up instantly.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang used the sword to pull a few more times, and the force became heavier and heavier. As expected, the armor was still intact.
This armor is real!
"One of you will chop me up!"
Several experiments have given Zhu Yuanzhang confidence in the armor he wears. In order to verify the real defensive power of this armor, Zhu Yuanzhang plans to do some real experiments.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Jiang Yu and others looked at each other, thinking that the emperor was crazy!
If something unexpected happened, the heads of my whole family wouldn't be enough to cut off.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood everyone's worries, so he spoke again: "I have just tried this armor, and its defensive power is no problem. I just want to know how good this armor's defensive power is. If this armor is really It is light and has good defense, you should think this means something to our Ming army!"
"Don't feel any pressure. If you really want to hurt me, I will forgive you!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he pointed at Mao Xiang and said: "Mao Xiang you"
Looking at Mao Xiang's burly body, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and waved his hand, "Forget it."
Then he looked at Jiang Wei.
This guy is not a good person, what if he really cuts himself?
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Li Shanchang, "Li Aiqing, it's you who do it! Use your greatest strength to give me a blow!"
Forehead.
Li Shanchang wanted to refuse, but Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him with tiger eyes, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Your Majesty, I am ready to go!" Li Shanchang pulled out his sword.
"Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his hands, "Harder!"
"what!"
Li Shanchang picked up the knife in his hand and stabbed Zhu Yuanzhang in the chest.
when!
There was a sound of metal collision. Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally intact, and he even just felt a slight push on his chest.
This is also true. The knife wielded by Li Shanchang did not cause any harm to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Good stuff! This is really good stuff!"
After confirming the protective power of the armor, Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly: "No wonder two thousand militiamen can annihilate two thousand bandits. In addition to the red cannon, there is also this treasure!"
Zhu Yuanzhang touched the place where Li Shanchang had just cut with his knife, and there was just a white mark on it.
Everyone else also quickly put on their armor. Wearing this thing on your body is like a talisman!
"Let's go up to the city wall and take a look again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see what surprises were waiting for him here.
By the time Zhu Yuanzhang and his party walked onto the city wall, the militiamen had already started debugging the red cannons. There was a red cannon almost every five feet. Some were wiping the barrels and some were carrying the shells. In short, everything was going on in an orderly manner. With.
"There are militiamen here and there, even if they are regular soldiers, that's it!"
Li Shanchang sighed.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly. Under such circumstances, having such a reaction was enough to show discipline.
It seems that Ouyang Lun not only has a good way of managing people's livelihood, but also has a good way of training troops to defend the city.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt admiration for his son-in-law. Of course, this guy was still very timid. He was still hiding in the government office at this time, and he didn't know what he was doing!
I wonder if at this time, as the prefect, he should climb the city wall and swear to defend the city with the people. Would it be more morale-boosting?
After all, he was still too young and had not experienced war.
Unknowingly, a lot of armored militiamen have gathered on the city wall. The number exceeds [-] at least, and the number is still increasing!
"What are you guys doing standing around? Hurry down and bring up two boxes of shells!"
At this time, an officer in charge finally discovered the existence of Zhu Yuanzhang's group of fishermen.
"Master, we are..." Before Jiang Wei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the officer.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. First of all, don't call me an official. I'm just a militia captain, and we are all civilians who protect the county. Secondly, no matter who you are, since you are on the city wall, you have to do something. Don't just stand there stupidly!" Officer! He muttered: "There are too few shells, and soon all the bandits will be blown up by others, and all the bounties will be taken away by others!"
"We, the militiamen in the south of the city, cannot be overpowered by those guys in the east of the city!"
"Go and move quickly!"
After being scolded by the officer, Jiang Wei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Okay, we can move!"
"But I want to ask, why didn't the prefect come?"
The officer rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "There are bandits with less than [-] people. Why do you want the prefect to come? We can handle it ourselves!"
Li Shanchang continued to ask: "As the parent official here, when a disaster is approaching, the prefect should set an example, stand on the city wall, and defend the city together with the people."
The officer rolled his eyes again, "My prefect is not the kind of parent who likes to perform. On weekdays, we conduct 'exercises' to deal with natural disasters/wars, etc. Now we are just acting according to the plan. The prefect only needs to be in the government office." Lie down and wait for us to kill the bandits!"
"This Funing County is the home of our people. If anyone dares to invade, we will fight with our lives!"
"As the prefect said, friends come with good wine, enemies come with shotguns, and those who offend our eternal peace will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
The more the officer spoke, the more eager his eyes became, like a true fanatic.
Moreover, the officer's words also infected the surrounding militiamen, who shouted loudly: "When friends come, there is good wine; when enemies come, there are shotguns. Anyone who offends our eternal peace will be punished no matter how far away!!"
"When a friend comes and has good wine, he will be killed no matter how far away he is!"
For a moment, the sound resounded through the city wall!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also moved by this scene, "Let's move the cannonballs!"
An hour later.
Outside Funing County, first bursts of dust rose in the distance, and then the sound of horse hooves/neighing could be heard.
"Close the city gate quickly! The bandit army is coming!" "Close the city gate!"
crunch--
After confirming that all the people had entered the county town, the city gate slowly closed.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down a box of cannonballs and turned to look outside the this moment, an army of [-] mountain bandits has arrived at the city. The mass is covered with human heads, and all kinds of flags are flying, such as Langya Cave, Erlong Mountain, Baihu Slope, etc. These are indeed bandits from all over.
"It's really a large gathering of bandits. Such a scene is probably only seen in this borderland." Jiang Wei sighed.
Mao Xiang said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate these bandits. Many of these bandits are sponsored by Beiyuan/Japanese pirates. Their fighting power is quite good."
Li Shan hunched his back and carefully stuck his head out. He took a look and quickly took it back, "Your Majesty, this is wrong! How can these bandits have large siege equipment? They are fully prepared!"
Um! ?
Hearing Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and sure enough, behind these bandits, there were several large siege ladders and trebuchets!
"Hide in the mountains, come out from the mountains, divide the troops into four groups, three groups to stop the three guards in Yong'an Prefecture, 2 people come to attack Funing County, plus these siege ladders/trebuchets, this is by no means a few Something that a bandit can do!"
"They have no intention of occupying Funing County. Their purpose is to defeat Tucheng and Ouyang Lun of Funing County!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were deep, "Who did Ouyang Lun offend?"
This kind of battle really doesn't look like the bandits were retaliated against by the bandits.
But no matter who wanted to touch Ouyang Lun, he obviously underestimated Ouyang Lun's strength. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and glanced at the neatly arranged red cannons on the city wall. There were enough cannonballs placed behind each cannon, and there were also Tens of thousands of militiamen wearing armor and high spirits.
The [-] bandits in the city might be kicked onto the iron plate this time.
At this moment, among the bandit army below the city, several bandit leaders were comparing several portraits.
"The first one is Ouyang Lun, the prefect of Yong'an. It was this guy who encouraged the people to suppress the bandits. The brothers on the mountains such as Black Tiger Mountain/Ghost Wolf Mountain in Yong'an Prefecture fell into Ouyang Lun's hands. It was also this guy who asked us to suppress the bandits. The bandits are having a hard time, and after breaking the city today, I will kill him with a thousand knives!"
"Of course, this Ouyang Lun is not the most important target. According to the intelligence, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty is now in Funing City. If we take Funing County and kill Zhu Yuanzhang, not only will there be great benefits, but we will also have the opportunity to accept the imperial court in the future. Recruit, become a court official, and honor your ancestors!"
"These portraits are of Zhu Yuanzhang/Li Shanchang/Jiang Yu/Mao Xiang and others, plus Ouyang Lun, these people must be killed!"
"Brothers, your future fortune depends on this gamble today."
Several bandit leaders have long been dazzled by the conditions of money and recruitment, and they all want to rush into the county and start killing!
"Hey, look, is it the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty who is looking down on the city wall?" One of the bandit leaders pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eating melons on the city wall, and said excitedly.
Several other bandit leaders looked quickly.
"Don't tell me, he really looks like Zhu Yuanzhang. Isn't he the emperor? Why did he change into the clothes of an ordinary soldier?"
"The intelligence has told me that this time Zhu Yuanzhang is visiting privately incognito, so it is normal to wear the clothes of ordinary soldiers. The wretched old man next to him is Li Shanchang, and the two burly men behind him are Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Jiang Qi, the commander of the Jinyiwei. That’s right! It’s them!”
"Brothers, you have seen it clearly. Once we start attacking later, our target will be Zhu Yuanzhang and others!"
"it is good!"
Several bandits turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang on the city wall.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered this, "What's wrong with these bandit leaders? They always look at me. Could it be that they have seen through me?"
"Perhaps His Majesty, who is wise, mighty, and of extraordinary bearing, was mistaken by those bandits for the general who defended the city!" Li Shanchang immediately flattered him.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the city wall. Except for a few officers in charge, there was no official on the city wall. Ouyang Lun, who was supposed to be here, was still nowhere to be found. It was normal for the bandits to admit their mistakes.
"This is very possible!"
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Li Shanchang's speculation.
Not long after, the bandit army officially launched an attack on Funing County.
"kill!"
Siege ladders/trebuchets/ramming vehicles are now in operation.
"fire!"
"fire!"
bang bang-
Almost twenty red cannons roared.
As the shells fell, the bandit army below was blown away. The first wave of attacks failed before they even started.
Seeing this scene, the militiamen seemed a little dull, but several of Zhu Yuanzhang shouted excitedly.
"it is good!"
"Pretty!"
"Great!"
Seeing how powerful the red cannon was, Li Shanchang straightened his back, "When I watched the militia suppress bandits before, I just thought the red cannon was really powerful. Now I realize that the red cannon is not only a powerful weapon for attacking, but also a defensive weapon." !”
"With so many red cannons, even [-] bandits can't get in!"
"Ha ha!"
Li Shanchang, who was originally not optimistic about Funing City's defense, has completely changed his stance at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others were excited when they suddenly found that the surrounding militiamen were looking at them with doubtful eyes, and then they stopped silent in embarrassment.
I looked down on the militia before, but now I realize they are the clowns.
"Hurry up and clear the gun barrels. These bandits have not retreated and will definitely attack again!"
"Can you guys move a little smoother? I've already seen that you guys don't like it. If you can do it, go down if you can't. There are many brothers below waiting to come up to the city wall!"
The officer in charge was talking about Zhu Yuanzhang and his party.
"Captain, don't worry, we can do it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this officer was not joking. The reason why there were only 1 people on the city wall was because it could only accommodate 1 people. If there were more, it would become very crowded. There were still many people in the city waiting to fill their seats. It would be really embarrassing if he was replaced.
Damn victories!
"Please cheer up for me. If I am replaced, don't follow me back to the capital!"
Zhu Yuanzhang roared, and then began to clean the cannon and replenish ammunition under the leadership of the officer in charge. Each one worked harder than the other!
at the same time.
The bandit army is also discussing here.
