Heavy armored cavalry is the most coveted arms of kings of all dynasties.
In this era of cold weapons, men and horses are fully armed and are simply invincible tanks. They can run rampant and it is no exaggeration to say that they are invincible.
But now, Ling Ning actually wants to form three thousand heavy armored cavalry. Everyone gasped in shock and worried at the same time.
You must know that the equipment required by three thousand heavy armor cavalry is a terrible workload. The production of a set of heavy armor requires the cooperation of many people for more than two hundred days. With more than three thousand sets of heavy armor, you can imagine how many people are needed and how many are made. sky!
In addition, the horse armor worn by the war horse is also a huge workload, and the difficulty of production is second only to human armor.
Secondly, there are strict requirements for the weapons used by heavy armored cavalry. Long weapons must be spears, heavy spears, horse spears and other heavy weapons, while short weapons must be sabers, heavy swords, etc.
The production process is also more difficult than that of ordinary weapons.
The total number of heavy armored cavalry in the Liang Kingdom does not exceed 10,000. They are the treasures of all armies. A few hundred people can form a terrifying lethality.
Now that Ling Ning wants to build the Iron Buddha, the generals are worried that Ling Ning is so ambitious that for the sake of a heavy armored cavalry, it will affect the equipment of other arms, thus losing a big deal for a small amount.
As a counselor, Jia Huaiying took the lead and said: "My lord, the armor and riding equipment used by the heavy armored cavalry is complicated to make. It not only takes time, but also uses a huge amount of iron materials. Especially the quantity is still three thousand sets, and the construction period is too long. The subordinates My suggestion is to start by making Baiqi and develop steadily.”
Pang Ju also said: "Yes, my lord, it is safer to develop steadily. In addition, most of our army's next battles will be siege battles, and the advantages of heavy armored cavalry cannot be used."
"My lord, my subordinates also feel that this matter is not urgent." Although Duanmu Shuang had just surrendered, he had no choice but to stop him.
Just when Huo Zilong and other generals were about to dissuade Ling Ning, Ling Ning suddenly raised his hand and stopped everyone.
Ling Ning smiled and said: "I understand your worries. Indeed, it is too ambitious to form so many heavy armored cavalry now. If you show off your brains, you will lose the big for the small. But if I say, these three thousand heavy armored cavalry The armor, riding equipment, weapons, and horses are all ready-made by me, what do you think?"
"What? Ready-made?"
Zhang San, who has an arrogant personality, screamed in surprise, with a look of shock on his face.
The others didn't care about Zhang San's yelling because they were also dumbfounded.
Looking at Jia Huaiying, he almost pulled the beard off his chin, while Huo Zilong and others looked like they had seen a ghost.
"Lord, are you telling the truth?" Huo Zilong couldn't help but ask.
Everyone looked expectantly, fearing that Ling Ning was joking, but expecting that it was not a joke.
Ling Ning nodded and said with a smile: "It's absolutely true, there are three thousand sets of armor and riding equipment, there are three thousand fine horses, and by the way, there are ten thousand good horses. So the king is only short of people now. You can't hide it, you must hand over the most elite warriors so that I can build the most powerful iron pagoda!"
"suck--"
Everyone gasped.
"Lord, why don't you let me serve as Zhang Liao's deputy general?" Zhang Sankuang immediately recommended himself.
This guy would rather not be a general, but also want to be the deputy general of Tiefu Tu, which shows his love for heavy armored cavalry.
Ling Ning immediately glared at Zhang Sankuang and said: "Guard your Guangyu Pass well, the deputy general has been selected."
The natural choice for deputy general is Wang Chao.
Zhang Sankuang was very disappointed, then he stared at Zhang Liao and smiled flatteringly.
Obviously, he paid attention to Zhang Liao and wanted to defeat Zhang Liao.
Huo Zilong was also very itchy. Those were three thousand heavy armored cavalry. Although he was a guard general, it should be normal to have hundreds of heavy armored cavalry in his hands.
So Huo Zilong immediately stood up with an aggrieved look on his face: "My lord, you see that Lishui Pass is facing Lizhou, and Huang Yuanzhang's army may attack at any time. Last time, the lord was here to repel Huang Yuanzhang's army. In the future, my lord will not be in Lishui." Guan is in charge, and my subordinates are panicking. So I ask for five hundred heavy armored cavalry to guard Lishui Pass!"
"No way!" Ling Ning refused directly.
Huo Zi stretched out four fingers, then gritted his teeth and turned them into three, saying: "Three hundred! Only three hundred!"
Ling Ning glared at him.
You, a general guarding the gate, want heavy armored cavalry. What a nonsense. I don't bother to care about you!
Who knows,
Du Shengheng also stood up, and also pulled Du Twelve up together, and said: "Twelve, we also need heavy armored cavalry at Heiyagguan. We only need two hundred. Please hurry up, my lord!"
Good guy, you actually let Du Twelve use a beauty trap.
Du Twelve also wanted heavy armored cavalry, but she only looked at Ling Ning and understood that Ling Ning could not send heavy armored cavalry to the four levels. Iron Buddha was Ling Ning's trump card.
"Brother, the iron pagoda carefully built by my lord must have wonderful uses." Du Twelve advised.
Du Sheng suddenly felt heartbroken. His sister's elbow was turned out too much.
Tired, tired, forget it, no more heavy armored cavalry.
Bai Yunqi, the general of Cangchenguan, saw that the three of them were all deflated. He just stood up and sat down again.
However, the four of them were all staring at Zhang Liao.
If the Lord doesn't spit, you can attack Zhang Liao. He is the commander of Iron Buddha. If you defeat him, you can still get the heavy armored cavalry.
For a moment, Huo Zilong and the others smiled at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao shuddered and had a bad feeling.
…
As Ling Ning ordered the reorganization of the Beiyou Army, the 15th Army began to mobilize.
After leaving the required troops at the four passes, the remaining troops returned to the Yanzhou camp. In this adjustment, although the four gate guards have not changed, the original Beiyou Army soldiers and Advent soldiers have been mixed.
In other words, at least half of the troops in the four levels are descending warriors.
It's not that Ling Ning doesn't trust Huo Zilong, Du Shengheng and others. On the contrary, he trusts them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them the important task of guarding the four gates.
But caution makes a thousand-year ship, so there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
After the mobilization of troops is completed, Ling Ning will send troops to attack Suizhou.
While there was still time, Ling Ning just took care of other things.
At this moment, in the study room of the palace.
Ye Jing returned the "Thousand Character Essay" to Ling Ning and said: "Reporting to the prince, I have finished copying the handwriting. You can imitate it. I don't know what to write?"
Ling Ning directly took out an article.
This article was written by Zhou Ming from Zhongshushe.
Ever since he joined Ling Ning, this guy has become Ling Ning's pen.
As expected of a person from Zhongshushe, his articles were well written. His writing was so precise that it made people who read it feel indignant and wanted to rise up and join the wave of anti-Liang Dynasty.
The article in front of me is a letter written by Zhou Ming imitating Lin Xixue's tone. It is a letter to Emperor Liang.
In the letter, Lin Xixue used Lin Xixue's tone to angrily accuse Liang Huang of being ignorant and cruel, and that Liang would be destroyed by Liang Huang. He also said that Ling Ning was following the way of heaven by raising an army, and that she would call on all the righteous men in the world to clear the emperor and restore order in Liang.
Ye Jing was shocked after reading the contents of the letter.
She had long been curious about what she wanted to imitate, but now that she saw this letter, she knew the whole story.
What a cunning Ling Ning, who actually used Lin Xixue, the eldest princess of Daliang, to increase his appeal and make his rebellion famous.
