boom!
A bone hit the armor of an armored knight, creating a deep dent. The armored knight in the red cloak felt severe pain in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

puff!

In the end, he still spit out a mouthful of black blood.

Hou Jing, who was wearing a black cloak, stepped forward to make up the knife again, and Iron Guduo slammed the red cloak iron knight on the face fiercely.

"what!!!"

The knight died instantly, fell to the ground and died.

"This iron bone is quite useful."

After killing the person, Hou Jing even shook off the blood on Tie Guduo.

This is a small-scale encounter between the armed cavalry of Yan State and the armed cavalry of Gao Huan and Wei State.

When he went deep into the hinterland of Qingzhou to collect Liao's salary, Hou Jing met Gao Huan's armored knight of Wei State, and then used Yan State's latest weapon, Iron Guduo, to fight, and the effect was very good.

In the past few years, the warlords of the Erzhu family were defeated by the traitor Gao Huan in the infighting. Gao Huan successfully unified the Hebei region, supported Yuan Xiu as emperor, and promoted himself to the prime minister, the governor of Chinese and foreign military forces, and the king of Bohai. .

However, Yuanxiu, the last emperor of the orthodox Wei State, was dissatisfied with the prime minister Gao Huan's power and was unwilling to be Gao Huan's puppet, so he secretly recruited dead men to eradicate Gao Huan.

In the end, news of the emperor's intention to rebel reached Gao Huan's ears, and Gao Huan wanted to abolish the emperor.

Frightened, Yuan Xiu fled Luoyang directly, and fled to Guanzhong with all the civil and military officials, and took refuge in Yu Wentai, who had just become the second-generation leader of the Guanlong Group.

The first generation leader of the Guanlong Group, He Bayue, had died a year ago due to Gao Huan's scheming, and Yu Wentai, He Bayue's right-hand man, became the new leader.

However, Yuan Xiu was not willing to be Yu Wentai's puppet, so he secretly prepared to "rebel" all day long, and even brought several of his cousins ​​and princesses into the harem for adultery.

In the end, Yuan Xiu was directly killed by Yu Wentai, and Wei Guozheng was split into two parts since then.

In order to better distinguish the two Wei states in the east and the west, Yan State called the Wei State in the east "Gao Wei", that is, the Wei State ruled by Gao Huan.The Wei State to the west is called "Yuwen Wei", that is, the Wei State ruled by Yu Wentai.

After unifying the land of Hebei, while preparing to destroy Yuwentai westward, Gao Huan let a small group of troops enter the Shandong area, take over those cities, and move all the population and wealth of the Shandong area to Hebei.

It can be seen that Gao Huan regards conquering Guanzhong and eliminating Yuwentai as the top priority, so he does not want to waste his troops and energy to compete with Yan Guo for Shandong, so he let a small group of troops enter Shandong to migrate population, intending to completely abandon the whole territory of Shandong .

Naturally, Yan Lian would not let Gao Huan take away his population, so he asked Hou Jing to repeatedly raid in Shandong, and once he found Gao Huan's migrating troops, he would immediately hunt down and expel them.

The Gaowei regime just replaced the red military uniform this year, Yuwenwei still uses the black military uniform of the orthodox Wei state, and the Liang state in the south wears black and red military uniforms, but the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi is special. Qu uniformly wears a white military uniform.

The Yan State is quite special. Tiefutu wears black military uniforms, ordinary light cavalry wears red military uniforms, ordinary infantry wears cheap khaki military uniforms, auxiliary engineers wear white military uniforms, and sailors wear blue military uniforms.

There are also special flower-green military uniforms for special teams performing special tasks, suitable for lurking in the mountains and forests.

"Clean up the battlefield, these are our military achievements." Hou Jing put away the iron bones, very happy.

Tieguduo was invented by a blacksmith craftsman.

Due to the popularity of armored cavalry in the Central Plains, the advantage of Yan State in the Central Plains is getting smaller and smaller. In the past, it was possible to rely on armor to fight lightly and easily crush it. Now the Central Plains also has armor. Although the quality is not as good as that of Yan State, the quantity is too large. too much.

In this context, how to break through armor has become a difficult problem for Yan's army.

Although Ma Shuo/spear is very effective in piercing armor, even the iron armor of Yan Kingdom cannot resist it, but Ma Shuo is too long, it is very troublesome to use, and after piercing into the enemy's body, it cannot be pulled out unless it is singled out. In the melee of thousands of people or even tens of thousands of people, there is no chance to pull out Ma Shuo. Before you pull out Ma Shuo, another enemy has already killed you, so you can only be forced to let go of Ma Shuo / Spear, use the arc-headed knife that you carry with you to fight.

The sword has no armor-piercing effect, and can't penetrate even light armor. It can only be used to chop deserters who have lost their armor and armor and peasant soldiers who have no combat effectiveness. They can't cut the enemy's regular army at all.

Five years ago, the government of Yan State issued a reward order for all kinds of weapons capable of piercing armor. So two years ago, a blacksmith craftsman had a whimsical idea. Can the hammer be used to strike iron armor?

After some experimentation, it was found that the effect of the hammer hitting the armor was very good. It could dent the armor and cause internal injuries to the enemy.

The blacksmith submitted this discovery to the [Shensmith Institute] in Yan State, and was rewarded with 150 gold five baht.

However, instead of receiving 150 gold five baht, the blacksmith received fifty gold five baht, one [monthly pass] and ten [day pass].

After more than a year of development, [God Craftsman] improved the hammer into an iron bone, and another improvement is the caltrop, that is, the hammer is made into a spherical shape, and many protrusions on the spherical surface are iron bones. Guduo, and those with many pointed cones on the spherical surface are barbed wire.

In order to facilitate rewards, the government of Yan State also began to use "official money tickets" as rewards, and the holders of the tickets can also exchange cash at the Yandu Bank.

The difference between "official money bills" and "private money bills" is that private money bills must have corresponding deposits, that is, how many money bills correspond to the amount of deposits in the bank, while official money bills are guaranteed by the government. Deposit money in the bank, or the government owes/borrows money from the bank, there may be no actual corresponding deposit.

Private money bills, referred to as private bills, are a kind of deposit receipts, while official money bills, referred to as official bills, already have the embryonic form of banknotes.

Hou Jing was wearing a black iron armor, a black cloak on his shoulders, a Ma Shuo in his hand, an iron armored sweat horse under his body, a black iron mask on his face, and a foldable and movable iron armor around his neck. There is also a layer of chain mail inside the armor, and there is a layer of cloth between the iron chain armor and the chain mail to reduce the friction loss between the iron chain armor and the chain mail. There is also a layer of woolen cloth inside the chain mail.

On Hou Jing's left waist, hung a black scabbard curved knife, and on his right waist hung the iron bone that had just beaten to death.

The set that Hou Jing is wearing now is the strongest weapon and equipment of this era.

Ma Shuo is used for the first wave of charge, the iron bone is used in the crowd melee after the charge, and the machete (arc head knife) is used to harvest life when the enemy collapses.

At present, the biggest disadvantage is that it is too dependent on terrain and climate. It cannot fight in potholed terrain, it cannot fight in too hot weather, and it cannot fight in areas with dense water networks.

After dealing with Gao Wei's cavalry, Hou Jing began to arrest those fleeing villagers. As long as these labors are brought back, they will be points and should not be wasted.

Finding tombs, capturing the working population, killing enemies, plundering gold, silver and jewels, obtaining intelligence, etc. can earn points, and the points can be exchanged for various rewards at the Yan Kingdom court, and can even be directly used for promotion .
