The term Mingguang Armor first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, but the color was almost incomparable to the color of this armor. Looking at the three so-called Mingguang Armors he received, Li Xian realized how outrageous he was.
Not only was this kind of crucible steel-making a craft a thousand years in the future, but today's ordinary swords seemed ridiculously brittle in front of this kind of armor.
Inside the Chengdu campus.
"General Zilong has put a lot of effort into your army horse. He doesn't even have so many soldiers among his own soldiers." The quartermaster who was distributing ordnance supplies said to Li Xian.
"Then I really have to thank General Zilong." Li Xian immediately said with a smile. He ordered Tian Dali and Gong Jie, both of whom were smiling, to quickly move away the two thousand bright steel armors that made others envious, for fear that they would be killed by the envious looks of their peers.
After returning to the headquarters barracks, Li Xian sat down, received the Prime Minister's order, and immediately set off to follow Wei Yan as the vanguard. Not daring to delay, he immediately led his troops to Jianning.
The interesting thing was that he had never seen the legendary Wei Yan along the way, as if he was deliberately avoiding him. It was not until he arrived at the official residence in Jianning City that he could really see Wei Yan clearly.
The appearance of some people seems to be born for fighting. That kind of fierceness without anger can not be faked, just like the murderous aura in him can be felt from a long distance away.
"Han Xing, we have just arrived in Jianning. You are very resourceful. Do you have any suggestions?" Wei Yan asked Li Xian who was looking at him.
Li Xian replied: "Our army has come a long way and is unfamiliar with the local customs and terrain. It is better to follow the example of the champion marquis who conquered the Huns and ask the locals as guides."
Wei Yan nodded, and then sighed: "If General Ji Ping hadn't risked his life to defend us, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't be able to enter the city at this time."
The general Ji Ping in Wei Yan's mouth is the name of Lu Kai, the prefect of Jianning. Lu Kai was originally from Yongchang County and is the Jinji people of Baoshan, Yunnan Province today. In order to resist Meng Huo's rebellion, he closed the city to wait for help. He was wounded and is currently at his residence. Recuperate.
"Report, General Lu Kai is critically ill, please see General Wei and Lieutenant Li!"
"Prepare your horse!" Wei Yan grabbed Li Xian, stood up immediately, and headed to Lu Kai's residence.
When they arrived at the Lu Mansion, the two of them were completely dumbfounded. This was not the residence of an important official. It was clearly a farmyard, not even as good as their own tile-roofed house on the outskirts of Chengdu. But outside the courtyard, there were many people kneeling and crying.
"I didn't expect Ji Ping to be so popular. It's such a loss to the country." Wei Yan sighed.
The two immediately dismounted their horses and entered Lu Kai's residence, and immediately came to the bed.
"General Wei, General Li, I have been guarding Jianning for more than 20 days, and finally I have expected you to come." Lu Kai was so angry that he weakly highlighted a few words. He could only hang on with one breath.
"Don't worry Ji Ping, the Prime Minister's army will be here soon," Wei Yan said.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the Prime Minister. Two generals, this..." Lu Kai raised his hand with difficulty and pointed towards the wall in one direction. What they saw was a map with a few big characters written on it. " Pingman knows the palm map"!
"Ji Ping has worked hard and needs a good rest!" Wei Yan said.
"I can't rest. I can't get up if I rest. This album must be given to the Prime Minister! Then I will die with no regrets!" Lu Kai said with all his strength, "The Prime Minister often said, The outside must be settled first. After all, I have let down the prime minister. Two generals, you must treat the barbarians well. Don't kill them rashly and use force to get them. They will rebel next year. If you want to get rid of them once and for all, you must treat the barbarians well. Yes. Use both power and authority!" Lu Kai explained again.
"This is the official seal of the prefect of Jianning. Give it to the prime minister. Tell him that Kai can't wait for him anymore. It's me who has failed him. Lu Kai hopes that the prime minister will win the battle and the Han Dynasty will last forever..." Lu Kai said the last words and closed the door. eyes.
"Ji Ping!" Wei Yan shouted frantically. Even though he was a brave man, his eyes could not help but turn red at this time.
"Report! General Wei, General Li, and Yongkai's forward E Huan are fighting below the city!"
"His grandma is intolerable! How many people are there?"
"General Wei, there are about three thousand infantry. They look very strange, and they also have cavalry."
"Li Xian listens to the order, lead your troops and horses to fight, show my majesty to them!"
"Got the order!"
….
At the foot of Jianning City, Li Xian realized what the messenger meant when he said they looked very strange. Some of these people were not wearing armor, some were even riding boars, and some had poisonous snakes tied around their waists. He couldn't help but fall into that... A thought-provoking question, if you use the venom of a venomous snake to venom a venomous snake, will the venomous snake be poisoned by the venom of the venomous snake?
Li Xian led his heavy armored cavalry and set up a formation in the city. Tian Dali held high the banner with the word "Li" in the air. This bright steel armor was indeed eye-catching.
Li Xian formed a cone-shaped cavalry formation. This was a tactic used by the Jurchen cavalry that traveled across the Central Plains in later generations. The only thing was that he did not have horse armor.
"No matter what you encounter later, follow the flag held by Tian Dali and push it over together!"
"yes!"
"All the troops - charge into battle!" Li Xian shouted under the general's flag.
The city gate opened in an instant. E Huan was stunned by the scene before him. He saw more than a thousand cavalry, pushing forward in an unstoppable manner. Although the sound of the horse's hooves was not completely consistent, at least the sound of these more than a thousand cavalry was exciting. What's more, the cavalry's suppression of the infantry is indeed deadly.
Facing the iron cavalry pushing towards them like a chariot, E Huan panicked for a moment. His instinctive reaction was to abandon these stragglers and run away.
Wei Yan, who returned to the top of the city, looked at the shining cavalry and shouted loudly: "Okay! Good fight!"
The cavalry of the Destroying Camp really succeeded in destroying the front. After three waves, the ground was covered with meat and mud. Looking at the frightened E Huan again, the soles of his feet were already a pool of turbid liquid. "I surrender, I surrender." !”
Li Xian then ordered the cavalry to stop and ordered people to tie E Huan into the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, the people of Jianning City threw things at E Huan frantically, and they all shouted: "Give us back, Governor Lu! Give us back Governor Lu!"
E Huan was so frightened by Li Xian that he didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, and was escorted to the hall.
"Why don't you just kill these courageous soldiers?" Wei Yan asked Li Xiandao.
Li Xian pondered for a moment: "The Prime Minister will arrive this evening, why not wait until he comes?"
Although Wei Yan was a little unhappy, he had to order someone to take E Huan into prison.
In the evening, Zhuge Liang led his army to quietly arrive. Li Xian, who thought he could finally see Zhuge Liang's true face, failed again. Zhuge Liang arrived in the city and directly released E Huan and ordered him to go back. If he dares to commit another crime again, he will be killed. Rao, this operation confused Wei Yan, and he was somewhat unconvinced. Not only Wei Yan, but also the soldiers under Li Xian were unconvinced.
"Why did the Prime Minister let E Huan go? I should have killed Ming Zhengdian!" Wei Yan said angrily.
"The article is long, don't be too conceited!" Zhuge Liang didn't say it clearly, he just smiled lightly.
By the time the soldiers arrived, all the soldiers had fallen asleep. However, when they saw soldiers and horses outside the city, they hurriedly got up to investigate, but it was E Huan again.
"General E, why are you here?" Zhuge Liang asked from the top of the city.
Unexpectedly, E Huan turned over and dismounted and knelt down: "The general is grateful to the Prime Minister for not killing him, so I will offer the heads of the traitors Zhu Bao and Yong Kai!"
"Hahahaha, okay, General E is loyal and brave. The general can enter the city. As for your troops, just camp outside the city." Zhuge Liang waved.
"Follow the Prime Minister's order!" E Huan carried the two heads and went straight into the city regardless of the troops outside the city.
Now it was Wei Yan's turn and the generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
