Chapter 108: Armor
The night is four, and the stars are moving.
In Chang'an Jude Fang, Li Chunfeng, who was writing "Lin De Calendar" at home, suddenly felt something.
He put down his wolf and walked to the courtyard.
Just in time to see a huge meteor, dragging a white tail flame, rumbling, falling to the west.
Li Chunfeng's eyes widened, his sleeves pinched his fingers, and he moved his mind and started to divide.
After a few breaths, his face changed suddenly, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out of his throat with a "poof".
"There is a vision ...... heaven"
Almost at the same time, on the Dragon Head Plain, on a tall hill, black qi surged, and a white-clothed Crane Langjun walked out of it.
He looked up.
I saw that above the dark night, countless fireflies fell, sneering.
Crane Langjun stretched out his arms and let out a sharp whistling sound from his mouth.
"The stars are shaken, the sky is about to change, sure enough, what the Big Dipper Star Monarch said is right, the opportunity to belong to my clan has come!"
After saying this, he shook his sleeves fiercely: "What do you think?" ”
Behind him, there was a black air.
It was black, boundless, deep as hell.
From it, all kinds of noisy sounds are revealed.
It looks like a human language, like a beast's language.
All kinds of strange voices converged into one voice: "May I respect the order of the Big Dipper." ”
"Yingfu, we are already old, and the future of our clan will be determined by us."
Kill, kill, kill!
Eat Blood! Eat Blood!!
The noise boiled.
All kinds of strange lights, demons and ghosts, quietly gathered on the dragon's head.
……
In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, on the twenty-third day of September, it is advisable to hunt, sacrifice and pray for blessings.
Do not break the ground.
Su Dawei, who was sitting upright in the room, heard the sound of the time and suddenly opened his eyes.
The room was dimly lit, and his eyes flickered like two stars in the dark room.
Nie Su's slightly trembling voice sounded from the side: "Lang." ”
Lang means husband.
The newlywed woman calls her husband Lang.
Husbands call their wives wife, or they call each other husbands and wives.
It seems to be somewhat similar to the latter.
Su Dawei reached out and held the small hand handed over by Nie Su.
Start cold and soft.
"My family has entrusted it to you on this expedition."
"Hmm."
"Wait until I get back."
"Hmm."
Su Dawei shook Nie Su's hand hard, not daring to look into her eyes.
In those eyes, thousands of tenderness turned into tears.
The ashram was silent for a moment.
Finally, it was Nie Su who urged: "Lang, the time has come." ”
"Armor for me."
Su Dawei stood up.
The doors and windows are open.
The dawn of dawn penetrated through the vestibule, white and hazy.
The sturdy servants of the house, such as the high house, breathed the beat, and moved the armor and weapons hidden in the warehouse into the room one by one.
Outside the courtyard, Li Bo, Li Ke, Gao Dalong, Dahu, Zhou Liang, Shen Yuan, Liu Niangzi and others were waiting.
Su Dawei opened his arms.
Nie Su picked up his armor and armor and wore armor for Su Dawei.
Wear arm guards, shin guards, arm covers, skirt corners, and crotch guards in turn.
Wear a breastplate, wear a shoulder to swallow a beast, wear a waist to swallow a beast, and wear a horizontal sword.
Wear heart goggles for bad flaws.
Wear a helmet.
Standing in front of Nie Su was no longer the familiar Lang Jun, but a Tang general.
Dressed in bright light armor, it weighed more than 50 catties.
The whole body has four layers of heavy armor, fine iron and copper cowhide, and the gold armor flashes to shock the Quartet.
The heart goggles on his chest were carefully wiped and shiny, reflecting Nie Su's eyes that were both amazed and infatuated.
Su Dawei opened his arms, hugged Nie Su lightly, and whispered in her ear, "I'm going." ”
With that, he grabbed the horizontal knife and stepped out of the gate with the sound of armor colliding.
Outside the courtyard, Gao Sheji and other Sufu slaves and maids knelt down on one knee and congratulated in unison: "May Ah Lang return victorious." ”
Su Dawei nodded, and his gaze swept over the people standing in the court one by one.
Liu Niangzi came up and grabbed his arm: "Come back alive, Niang and Xiao Su are waiting for you." ”
At some point, there were many wrinkles on her face.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are much older and haggard.
Su Dawei was even more surprised to find that Ah Niang's head had a lot of gray hair at some point.
In the wind, gray hair.
Su Dawei's throat tightened slightly, and he held Liu Niangzi's hand: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know." ”
"Go ahead."
Su Dawei nodded solemnly, exhaled a long breath, and let go of his hand, but found that Liu Niangzi's hand was holding himself again.
I turned around in surprise, but I saw Liu Niangzi turning her back to herself.
"Let's go, don't love home, everything in the family has me."
Su Dawei's heart was sour, he took two steps back, and saluted solemnly: "The Son of Heaven is calling, I can't shirk it, wait until I kill all the enemies, and then come back to pay filial piety to A-Niang." ”
"Let's go."
Liu Niangzi turned her back to him and waved her hand.
But Su Dawei clearly saw her other hand wiping the corner of her eye.
"Ami, don't miss the hour!"
Zhou Liang shouted.
Su Dawei slammed his feet, turned around towards the gate, and strode away.
Behind him, Gao Dahu, Gao Dalong, Li Bo, Li Ke, Zhou Liang, and Shen Yuan followed each other.
With the sonorous footsteps, he walked outside the house.
There were already people in the house who took the dragon and waited outside.
Su Dawei took the rope and turned over on the horse.
The dragon son raised his head to the sky and roared, like thunder.
"I'm leaving."
Su Dawei hugged his fists and drank softly to a group of brothers.
Gently pinch your legs.
The dragon has the same mind and gallops out along the avenue.
Between the roads, Wuhou has already cleared the road, and there are Jin Wuwei guards guarding the road.
"Your Majesty's order, the colonels in front of the palace, will assemble."
Iron hooves pound on the bluestone pavement.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.
At first, Su Dawei rode one, but then, there were two horses, three horses, and there were constantly horseback generals, pouring out from all the squares and gathering together.
Su Dawei's side is Su Qingjie, who is dressed in Xuanjia.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Su Dawei glanced at Su Qingjie's clothes and armor, and said, "Not bad!" ”
Su Qingjie was wearing one of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, a turtle back fish scale armor, three layers of heavy armor, made of fine iron, and his whole body weighed more than 49 catties.
Su Qing beat the horse closer, and said in a low voice: "This thing is uncomfortable to wear, if it weren't for His Majesty's order, I really don't want to wear it." ”
The ironclad knives and guns are invulnerable, but they are heavy and very inconvenient.
Not only should there be several layers of inner lining for weight adjustment, but the outer iron armor is often composed of several layers.
The turtle's back fish scale armor is three layers, and Su Dawei's Mingguang armor is four layers.
Wearing this thing is like a thick cotton coat and a few layers of iron sheets, and the taste can be imagined.
During the battle, the whole body was sweating in the iron armor, which was much more fierce than the sauna.
After a big battle, there are often generals who can't stand the pain and can't help but take off their armor immediately.
But when you sweat profusely and are blown by the wind, you will fall ill nine times out of ten.
The legendary military general's "armor removal wind" refers to this.
"This is a matter of raising the prestige of my Tang Army, don't complain, let's go."
Su Dawei puffed up his chest and patted Long Zi's head.
The dragon shook his head, and there was another roar.
The sound was like thunder, which shook the war horses of Su Qingjie and other surrounding generals in shock.
These horses are all long-trained war horses, and they are all familiar with Su Dawei's dragons, and this is still the case.
If on the battlefield, the dragon roars, I am afraid that the enemy horse will be frightened and paralyzed.
On Suzaku Avenue, both sides of the road have long been surrounded by curious and cheering people, Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and envoys from various subject countries, waving flags along the road.
The people couldn't help but point at the Tang Army generals on the horse, and the exclamations were endless.
When they heard Su Dawei's roar, many people retreated in fright.
When he saw that Su Dawei was dressed in bright light armor and galloped towards the palace gate with the Tang generals first, his exclamation turned into a thunderous cry of joy.
Mingguang Armor!
The Mingguang armor that represents the pinnacle of Tang martial arts!
The sun shines through from the east, and at this time, this team composed of senior generals is shining brightly, and the people are like dragons.
……
Walk through Danfengmen Street and cross Danfengmen.
The royal bridge in front was supposed to relieve the horse, but with Li Zhi's permission, this Tang army general of dozens of people, led by Su Da, crossed the imperial bridge and went straight in.
On both sides of the bridge are the left and right Kingo temples.
After crossing the long imperial bridge, I saw the drum tower next to the bridge.
There is a large square ahead.
Passing through the square, you can see the majestic buildings of the Daming Palace.
There are Zhaoqing Gate, Fengfeng Pavilion, West Dynasty Hall, Longwei Road, and the Hanyuan Hall of "Nine Heavens Open the Palace, and all the countries are clothed and crowned".
And Li Zhi had already taken hundreds of civil and military officials to wait on the Longwei Road in front of Hanyuan Palace.
In the square, the left and right leaders of the left and right houses, the left and right thousand cow guards in the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, and the left and right thousand cattle are prepared, and they have already lined up here to defend the guards.
The honor guard of the Son of Heaven is like a fire.
Ritual knives are like a forest.
Su Da came to this point for them, and everyone dismounted.
Under the guidance of Jin Wuwei, he strode towards the Tang Emperor Li Zhixing.
But in the sound of the clanging of clothes and armor and the collision of gold and iron, Su Dawei noticed at the same time that in addition to the Tang Emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, there were also many foreign envoys.
Looking at the banners, there were envoys and chieftains from Turkic, Khotan, Persian, Cheonzhu, Wa, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo and other countries.
Heavy stomach.
When fighting in large armies, they are generally armoured by pack horses.
Before the battle, he put on armor to defend against the enemy.
This is also the reason why many armies do not have time to react when they are raided.
Shirtless and armoured, that's a completely different effect.
But he often wears heavy armor, and before he waits to meet the enemy, he gets tired first.
This has extremely high requirements for intelligence reconnaissance and early warning of scouts.
This time, a group of military generals led by Su Da was to show the martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty to the chiefs of the subordinate countries, which was a special situation.
Knock knock knock~~
On the drum tower, the number of drums sounded.
The feather fan opened and closed, and the Son of Heaven unfolded.
Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was dressed in a dragon robe, supported by the queen of the phoenix robe and phoenix crown beside him, his arms were spread out, and his big sleeves were fluttering.
Su Dawei and the others walked fifty steps away from Li Zhi, and saluted to Li Zhi and the Empress Wu on the high platform, and the hundred officials: "Knock on the emperor, the queen of heaven, and the ministers, forgive the ministers with armor on their bodies, and they can't pay full salutes." ”
After overthrowing Shangguanyi, Li Zhi had already made it clear that Empress Wu was alongside him, called the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and was known as the Second Sage Dynasty in history.
Although they are far away, the voices of the generals are like rumbling thunder, echoing in the square and lasting for a long time.
This chorus of shouts is like the cry of a tiger roaring ape.
The envoys and chieftains of the subject countries standing on the stage couldn't help but change color.
Li Zhi's voice spread through Jin Wuwei's mouth: "The secretaries don't need to be polite, this military parade of the Son of Heaven will cheer for the armies and strengthen the ambitions of the people." ”
The voice of the Heavenly Khan, after being transmitted by thousands of people, also vibrated in front of the Hanyuan Hall and in front of the envoys of hundreds of subject countries.
"Newspaper~~"
Just as the entire parade was marching according to the established process, suddenly, Jin Wuwei ran in briskly from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy asks to see you."
Well?
Everyone's eyes, for a moment, turned to the direction of the sound.
The Tibetans were rude, ignored the orders of the Heavenly Khan, and annexed Tuyuhun without authorization.
The Datang Heavenly Soldiers are like arrows, and they are about to set off.
At this juncture, the Tibetan envoy has arrived?
