Zhao Zhen didn't even make a discount, he simply cut off the big head and left Di Qing with a tail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

20,000 Western troops, that was the strongest army in the Great Song Dynasty. It is conceivable that as soon as the Western Army arrives, the thieves will die.

But now it has shrunk to 3,000, and the forbidden army has been directly reduced to a battalion, which is a cheating father!

But you can't say anything yet, or the courtiers will have something to say again.

Aren't you Di Hanchen a cow?

At the beginning, it was said that a hundred soldiers and a few hundred forbidden troops could take the head of Nong Zhigao.

Therefore, Di Qing had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and stubbornly received the order.

When he returned, he summoned several major military attachés to one place to discuss how the battle should be fought. When to send troops.

Among them, there is Yang Wenguang, the commander of the Western Army, and his son Yang Huaiyu.

That's right, that battalion of forbidden troops is Yang Huaiyu's Shenwei Battalion.

After some discussion, Di Qing appointed Yang Wenguang as the vanguard officer, led 3,000 Western troops to rush to the aid of Guangnan first, and gathered the states in the rear team. Then killed.

He also instructed Yang Wenguang to order Yu Jing, Sun Wei and others not to act rashly before the arrival of the brigade.

And when it came to Xiang Yong, Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but interject, "Tang Zihao once said when he was envoy to Liao that there is a battalion of box soldiers in Dengzhou, and the military discipline is strict, and it is a usable soldier!" ”

Di Qing frowned, and then said: "Then send a letter to the military and political officer of the Jingnan Road, and order the Dengzhou Xiang Battalion to open Guangnan, without meeting with the brigade, and go to standby!" ”

He is now a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, no matter whether that battalion of soldiers is really strict in military discipline or not, let's talk about it.

At this time, Tang Yi's letter to Cao Manjiang was still on the way, and the military order for him to rush to Guangnan had also been issued.

.....

Di Qing took command of the southern expedition, and Zhao Zhen specially set up a banquet to see him off!

The courtiers at the meeting had mixed feelings, hoping that Di Hanchen would calm down the southern troubles and protect the country and settle down, but they also didn't want this Nirvana rough man to be too showy.

At this time, Tang Yi is not there, if he is, he has to scold the ancestral graves of their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous, and they are really not wronged at all, what is it? I can't see the good of others!

After the banquet, all the ministers retreated, leaving only Wang Deyong, Zhao Zhen, and a few military generals.

Zhao Zhen finally said a few thoughtful words. Di Qing and Yang Wenguang, who listened to it, were warm and coaxing, and they almost didn't cry.

At this time, the waiter outside came to pass the word, saying that Tang Zihao asked to see him.

Zhao Zhen knew that Tang Yi had a gift for Di Qing, and this should be the case.

"Let him in!"

...

Tang Yi is indeed here to give gifts.

When he brought someone to move the gifts in, Zhao Zhen, Wang Deyong and others couldn't take their eyes off, staring at a set of shiny armor brought in by the guards.

By the time the guards put two long brocade boxes and a set of armor in front of everyone, Wang Deyong had already started scolding.

"Okay, you bastard, the old man hurts you in vain! There is such a good thing, not to mention give the old man a set first! ”

Tang Yi smiled innocently, "Time is in a hurry, the craftsman will play such a set, let General Di use it first, and everyone will have a share another day!" ”

"Mingguang Armor?" Zhao Zhen also circled around the armor.

This armor is also so beautiful!

It's bright and bright, and it can almost shine on people. The nail body is a whole piece of shiny steel plate, which follows the line of the waist and outlines the ribs of the pectoral muscles. The shoulders are the mouth of the heaven-swallowing tiger, and there is a moire battle skirt around the waist.

For example, the Mingguang Treasure Armor has a more complete protective surface than the Mingguang Armor, which is an iron suit!

Wang De flicked it lightly on the armor, and Jin Minglong chanted endlessly.

"It's not Mingguang armor, it's like cavalry heavy armor, but it's not as thick as heavy armor, so it's not just a good look, right?"

Tang Yi pursed his lips, "You always try to use a sword to chop, and I didn't say anything about the debut seal." ”

"Really?" Wang De didn't believe it, brought it up and gave it a try,

This armor is too thin, only weighs more than ten catties, similar to the scale armor worn by soldiers. How can it be as mysterious as Tang Yi said?

"This is made of newly made manganese steel, thin is thin, but let alone the sword, even if you hit it with a sledgehammer, at most there will be a hidden pit."

This is the manganese steel plate armor that Tang Yi has been talking about before.

Since the stamping technology had not yet been made, this armor was hand-typed by craftsmen and was completed before Di Qing set out for the expedition.

In the future, according to Tang Yi's meaning, this kind of armor will be popularized throughout the army.

The Great Song Dynasty army was equipped with scale armor, and due to financial problems, some could not even wear scale armor, and only the most senior generals were worthy of Mingguang armor.

Some people say that Mingguang armor is Huaxia's plate armor, but it is not.

Mingguang Kai is also a kind of scale armor, but the area of scale iron is larger, it looks like an iron plate, and it is also inlaid on a leather or cotton lining, which is a partial defense. It is not the same as the overall defense of the board.

The nomads in the north make good use of blunt weapons, that is, maces, iron bones, etc., and rely on the impact to hurt people, and the defense of scale armor becomes extremely limited.

Otherwise, when the Song and Jin Dynasty confronted each other, the Great Song Army would not have the joke of "You have a mace, I have a heavenly spirit cover".

The big stick is smashed down, and the scale armor can't be prevented at all!

If only the Song army could be equipped with manganese steel plate armor with stronger impact resistance.....

As long as the stamping technology is in place, the plate armor can be made thin and lightweight, and the cost is low.....

That picture must be very beautiful, so that the northern barbarians smashed the mallet with a bang, and they couldn't even hit the pit.

When it comes to the performance of this armor, everyone is not calm.

Wang Deyong even wanted to try it on the spot, but Zhao Zhen stopped him.

"This is a gift for Di Qing to go on the expedition, and if it is broken, Di Qing is afraid that he will feel distressed."

Di Qing smiled awkwardly, he was really distressed.

Yang Huaiyu stabbed Tang Yi hard in the back, and said in a low voice: "Mine!" ”

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, "Let's go first, and let the grain ship pass you a little bit." ”

Yang Huaiyu secretly gave a thumbs up with satisfaction, "Is this like a brother!" ”

After looking at the armor for a long time, Wang Deyong stared at the other two boxes.

"What's in here?"

"A sword, a Tang knife!"

Oh!

Wang Deyong nodded, this is a set of gifts! From armor to matching swords, there are a lot of rushing blades.

Feel free to open the shorter box.

Wang Deyong only glanced at it, his eyes almost didn't protrude, and before others could see what was inside, he slammed the sword box shut and held it in his arms.

"O Hanchen! You don't use a sword, you can put it on a show, give this sword to the old man! ”

Burst!

Isn't that a scoundrel? For the general, who doesn't put on a show with a sword? Its public use is no different from the order flag!

Besides, if you want to, let me see it first!

Di Qing froze there, not to give, not to give.

Wang De wants it, of course he has to give it. But as a warrior and a general, who doesn't love to match a sword? He was really afraid that there was a good sword in that box, and he would regret it if he gave it.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "What kind of good thing is it, Qing family, do you want everyone to take a look!" ”

"Don't give...."Wang De played a scoundrel with an old man in his seventies, shaking his head dazzlingly.

But the more he was like this, the more curious Zhao Zhen became, "Let's take a look at the head office with me, right?" ”

Your Majesty wants to see it, can you not give it? Wang Deyong had to hand over the sword box to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was also stunned when he opened it, and then reached out and took out the sword.

When he arrived, except for Tang Yi, the room full of people stared at the long sword in Zhao Zhen's hand without blinking, and they couldn't take their eyes off it anymore.

"It's... This... How was this pattern engraved? ”
