Overlord!

Chapter 47 Armor Riding Equipment (First Order, First Order)

Sun Ce made the decision to continue the battle with the army, and the soldiers in the army immediately got busy and began to carry food, grass, military tents, equipment and other supplies.

There were 4000 troops under Sun Ce in the Niuzhu camp, and 2000 were distributed to Zhou Yu. There were more than [-] troops who could follow Sun Ce to send troops. Including Wu Jing's and Sun Ben's troops, the whole army totaled more than [-] cavalry.

This number has swelled four times compared to when Sun Ce set off from Shouchun more than a month ago!
And these 47 pacers are all elite, there are 340 black armor knights, more than a hundred rangers, more than [-] archers and [-] mandarin duck soldiers!The whole army has a total of [-] seven people.

While the sailors and soldiers were shuttling through the camp to prepare food, grass and supplies, Xu Yi went through the busy camp and arrived at Sun Ce's tent.He was assigned to Zhou Yu's subordinates, and he was going to leave a few days later, so he was not busy now.

Seeing Sun Ce, he hurriedly said: "General, I must report to the general about the blacksmith in the camp before today, otherwise once I leave the camp, I'm afraid it will be delayed for several months."

Sun Ce raised his head with great interest, and said unhurriedly: "There is still some time before I leave the camp, you can explain it in detail."

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "General, private casting is prevalent in Danyang. The men and women taken in the camp were taken as prisoners. According to statistics, there are more than [-] people who can cast iron."

This number surprised Sun Ce a little.

There are about a thousand craftsmen captured from Zhang Yingying, and now they have been collected and scattered, and the number has almost doubled!

Sun Ce asked with concern: "With so many craftsmen, how many armors can be produced every day?"

"During this period, the navy transported back the Hengjiang iron cables from Yangpu in batches, about [-] catties of iron, and the craftsmen had enough materials, which were constantly melting. Tens of thousands of farm tools were built, and more than [-] sets of plows were produced. There are more than [-] handles of spears and halberds, more than [-] sets of black armor, and four sets of horse armor."

"Four sets of horse armor?" Sun Ce laughed in surprise.

Armored cavalry is a man's romance!

A scrawny apprentice saw an armored riding outfit with a man and a horse running towards him hundreds of kilograms. The psychological pressure was enough to make him collapse without a fight.

Moreover, there was a shortage of horses in the Southern Dynasty, and a horse was worth tens of thousands of dollars. Only with mounted cavalry could the horses be protected and the value of the horses maximized.

"Bring the horse armor over here and let me have a look."

Following Sun Ce's instructions, Jiang Yuan, the engineer, soon brought four sets of horse armor to the tent of the Chinese army with a cart.

Horse armor existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, but it was made of leather at that time, but now it is only made of iron, and the technology is very mature.

Moreover, many of the craftsmen were iron officials who were exiled by the Han Dynasty, and they had directly made horse armor for the Han army.

Therefore, thanks to the efforts of these skilled craftsmen, the horse armor placed in front of Sun Ce is quite complete. It is composed of the face curtain, the chicken neck, the chest, the horse body armor and the back, which are scattered rather than integrated. Several parts are connected with iron pins respectively.

Jiang Yuan commanded the soldiers to put the horse armor on Sun Ce's mount. After putting it on, the horse was tightly protected, leaving only the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, limbs and tail exposed.

What's more professional is that the craftsman also created a part "parasitic" on the armor of the horse's buttocks, which is to attach long feathers as decoration, a bit like the red feathers on the soldiers' heads.

Sometimes I have to admit that Zhu Xia has a romantic and heroic style in his bones.Decorate the horses with feathers, and wear five colors on the horses, so that the waves will come.

The remaining three sets of horse armor were given to Sun Ce to Chen Wu, Xian Yulie and Yang Xiao respectively. They were the brave generals in the army who followed Sun Ce in the most battles. With this horse armor, they would be even more powerful.

It's just that the production of Ma Kai is a bit low, and there are only four sets in almost a month. By the end of the year, it may not be possible to equip all 47 black armor knights with armored riding gear.

Sun Ce thought for a while, and said to Jiang Yuan: "After we get rid of the camp, all craftsmen will be under your supervision. If you want to come up with a charter, you can't mess around like you are now. Divide the craftsmen into groups, and a group of specialized A division makes horse armor, and a group specializes in making equipment."

Organizational ability is also one of the strongest manifestations of an army.

Jiang Yuan had never been in the Luoyang government, nor had he seen how the imperial court set up different divisions to make equipment, so Sun Ce made a point to mention a few words.

"You can ask the iron officials how the iron officials organize production on weekdays. You can improve it, let the iron officials specialize in making armor pieces, and let the craftsmen specialize in fabricating armor."

Jiang Yuan quickly took the order and said: "Yuan must devote all his efforts to increase production and provide more armor and equipment for the general's army."

Of course, he was full of energy and racked his brains. After all, more than a month ago, he was just an insignificant worthless person, and no one would care if he died by the side of the road.

But following Sun Lang, in a blink of an eye, he has supervised more than [-] people including blacksmiths, craftsmen, and carpenters.

If you don't do your best, you will even have a bad conscience.What's more, if he can't satisfy the general and lose his position as Cao Cao, he will regret it until midnight and cry heartbroken!
The officers and soldiers were not interested in Jiang Yuangong's and Cao Cao's affairs. What they paid attention to was gold and iron horses. Now that there are iron horses in the battalion, Xian Yulie asked enthusiastically: "General, do you want to give this cavalry a mighty bugle number?" ?”

"The mighty bugle?"

Xian Yulie nodded excitedly: "For example, General Gongsun's iron cavalry is called Baima Yicong, and Dong Zhuo also has a flying bear army under his command."

The name Feixiong Army is indeed a good one, which means that all the warriors in the army are tall and tall, like flying bears.It is precisely because of this kind of strong army that Dong Zhuo was able to be strong for a while, and the princes of the Kanto did not dare to look west.

It's a pity that this name is already stinky, and no one is willing to use it after Dong Zhuo.

Chen Wu said: "Where the title of mighty power is nothing more than tiger, leopard, dragon, and bear, our red-robed black armor is a bit like a dragon sparrow. The charging momentum is like a dragon sparrow spreading its black wings covering the sky, covering the sun, moon and stars. "Tokyo Fu" has a saying, "The dragon and the bird are winding, and the heavenly horse is half the Han."

"Therefore, it is very suitable for the iron cavalry to be equipped with dragon sparrow cavalry."

Hearing this, Sun Ce felt a little emotional, Zhuxia who had never experienced Shenzhou Luchen was really full of romantic temperament.

Mandarin duck formation, tiger and leopard cavalry, and tiger-spotted cavalry in costume Sun Ce thought it was already very romantic, but Chen Wu went one step further, with dragon sparrow cavalry in costume.

Sun Ce quickly waved his hands and said, "There are only four sets of horse armor now, so don't worry about naming them. Let me think about it and decide after the formation of the army."

However, it is necessary to crown this cavalry with a military title. Cao Cao has tiger and leopard cavalry, and Li Shimin has black armor cavalry, both of which have attracted countless fans in later generations.

Whether a famous general can create a legendary elite soldier is the most romantic thing in war.

Sun Ce was just thinking about which style to choose, whether to adopt Chen Wuti's costumed Dragon Sparrow Tuqi, which is more contemporary and romantic, or his own, more restrained and simple outfit, Champion Tuqi.

Everyone felt a little regretful that they hadn't decided on the name of the cavalry, but soon their attention turned to the armored horse.

Armor riding gear is the real romance of a man!

Especially right now, every knight in black armor is more than seven feet seven inches tall, like Yang Xiao, who is even taller at eight feet three inches (196 centimeters), which is already infinitely close to two meters.

He is fully clothed, only his eyes are exposed outside the pocket, and he is sitting on the armored horse with a long lance in his hand. He is tall and strong. Anyone who sees it will marvel that this is definitely a brave general.

Even hundreds of disciples may not be able to stop this kind of heavy armored warrior from rushing left and right.

And Sun Ce's demeanor was even higher than Yang Xiao's. He wore armor, straddled a war horse, and didn't wear a helmet.

But in terms of bravery, Sun Ce is far superior to him. He is truly arrogant and bravely crowns the three armies.

Such a coquettish manner made Sun Ce have a position, but the soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong were not commensurate with his position, and called him Sun Lang.

What's more, Sun Lang's army has strict military discipline. Wherever it goes, there will be no crimes. The people are all happy, and welcome Sun Lang's army to arrive.

The hearts of the people were like water, and Sun Ce complied with the wishes of the people, and arrived in Moling County in only three days.

Moling County is the location of Jiankang, which is known to all later generations, and was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the Central Plains.

The mountains and rivers here are victorious, and it is an important place for military strategists in an absolute sense.

Sun Ce had already broken through the natural moat of the Yangtze River, so Liu Yao deployed heavy troops to guard against death here.

Before Sun Ce's troops arrived, Cheng Zi had led his cavalry to investigate the enemy's situation, and rode his horse to the central army to report to Sun Ce.

"General, Liu Yao has deployed heavy troops in Moling City, guarding along the dangerous riverside, and the defense is extremely thorough."

Hearing this, Sun Ce frowned slightly: "Stay close to the river? Did the other party hide in the county?"

Cheng Zi nodded solemnly: "The other guard is definitely a man who knows how to fight. You Qi saw the flag of Pengcheng Minister Xue Li under the county seat, and the banner of the captain Chen who fell into the battle. It should be Liu Yao's general Chen Heng. There is a big camp ten miles south of the county, and the flag is Xiapi Xiangruo Rong. The city and the big camp outside the city are like horns."

The other party did not hide in the city, but each other's horns, which shows that the other party not only knows how to fight, but also has great confidence in his own combat power!The key to each other's horns is to dare to go out of the camp, go out of the city to fight, and support each other.

"Where does the other party have the confidence to divide their troops and fight us in the field?"

Cheng Zi said: "I asked the people here, they have been tortured for a long time, and they heard that we are Sun Lang's army, and they can't stop talking."

"The pillar of their defense of the city is Ruo Rong outside the city. He was originally the Prime Minister of Xiapi, and he transported grain for Xuzhou Mu Taoqian to supervise Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng. But after he received the grain and taxes of these three counties, he did not send them to the county. Going to Tanxian County, instead of defeating the three county committees, the Futu Temple was erected. There were gold plates on the top, a heavy building on the bottom, gold painted statues, and brocade clothes. It cost hundreds of millions, and more than ten thousand people went to invest. "

"When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian in the east, Xu Fang was uneasy. Ruo Rong took the men, women, and [-] horses to Guangling. Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, treated him as a guest. Ruo Rong was greedy for Guangling's goods, so he beheaded him at a banquet. Yu, sent troops to plunder. After burning, killing and looting in Guangling, he took the money, equipment, and armor that he deployed and plundered from Guangling County, and went south to attach himself to Xue Li, respecting Liu Yao as the master."

"This person is insidious, cunning, cruel and vicious, and there are many desperate people under his command, so he dares to fight on the battlefield and fight for the edge."

From Cheng Zi's words alone, one can roughly deduce Ruo Rong's combat power.

First of all, he has more than [-] men and women, more than [-] horses, and thousands of cavalry. This scale is enough to control the situation in any battle.

Moreover, his subordinates are not mobs, but Buddhists who have followed him for a long time. He provides a lot of money and food, and he is already considered a full-time professional soldier.He also looted the treasury of Guangling, armed with a large number of weapons and armor.

There are professional soldiers, a large number of armor and equipment, and even thousands of cavalry. It can be said that he is the most powerful force under Liu Yao's command.

But even so, Sun Ce still showed a smile: "Let's go, let's meet this Ruo Rong to see how cruel he is, and whether he can keep the large amount of gold, silver, money, food and silk he looted from Xuzhou." Silk and more than 3000 war horses!"

Ruo Rong cut off all the money, food and taxes of the three southern counties of Xuzhou, looted the entire Guangling treasury, and took more than 3000 horses southward. Even if most of these materials were squandered by him, the rest is enough for Sun Ce Get rich!Even Sun Ce was able to raise a professional army.

Sun Ce handed over the matter of setting up the camp to Wu Jing, and he took Cheng Pu's troops, crossbowmen, cavalry, and nearly [-] cavalry to the Ruorong camp to test it out.

Ruo Rong had a large number of cavalry, and he had already discovered the traces of Sun Ce's army.

Sun Ce personally raised a large army to fight, and Ruo Rong also led the elite soldiers out of the camp to fight tit for tat. He had a large number of cavalry, and most of them were fierce soldiers from the Jianghuai River.

Ruo Rong has been arrogant all her life, with a high heart and arrogance, and she can't look down on Sun Ce, a young man at all.

The armies of both sides lined up, and before they approached, Ruo Rong sent several brave knights to ride forward, laughing, mocking and cursing.

"I heard that your Sun Lang is beautiful, handsome, and in full bloom. You are better than a beautiful woman. You must protect him, and don't let him die in battle! Today we will not only fight him this one, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, let Sun Lang wash his body well, and wait for us to take good care of him!"

"You follow such a young boy, you don't mean to be greedy for his body! If you want me to say, a man needs to have some ambition, if he is captured, he can still be fucked, hahaha!"

Sun Ce was furious, and when he brought up the spear, he was about to stab the three lunatics to death, but Yang Xiao, who was at the side, had already raised the spear: "General, these three bastards are not worthy of you personally, dirtying your hands! I'll kill it for the general!"

Sun Ce nodded. What Yang Xiao said made sense. Fighting with these three filthy bastards made my hands dirty!
The enemy cavalry before the formation was still swearing and yelling, Yang Xiao let out a roar, and rode his horse straight out. He attacked with anger, and the horse galloped like a thunder.

The opponent's three knights did not expect that there was only one knight in Sun Ce's army.Yang Xiao rode his horse and galloped wildly. The horses were so fast that the three of them didn't even have time to adjust their formation.

In an instant, the two sides were close, Yang Xiao yelled like thunder, and the long spear stabbed violently, the front enemy cavalry was directly pierced through the entire chest, hanging on the long spear and dragging for more than ten steps!

The other two knights reacted and were furious, thinking that Yang Xiao had succeeded in a surprise attack, they raised their spears and bravely killed him.

Yang Xiao shook the dead body away with a long lance, and then killed the two of them.

Facing the two stabbing spears, he shook his long lance violently, and with all his strength, he smashed the first spear into the air, and then stabbed violently. Sen Han's lance blade directly penetrated the entire face of the No.2 cavalryman, penetrating through the back of the skull. Dozens of inches protruded from the bone, and the sharp edge was stained with hot blood.

At this moment, the cavalrymen whose spears had been dropped finally felt fear, turned around in horror and were about to run away.

But Yang Xiao was already red-eyed, so he rode his horse and chased him for dozens of steps, catching up from behind. The long spear pierced through his abdomen fiercely from behind, and then lifted his corpse into the air with a roar, blood spurting in the air.

　Let's vote, is the name of this costumed cavalry is the costumed dragon sparrow cavalry, or the costumed champion cavalry.

　　You can leave a message, the one with more support will be the name of this cavalry in the future
