When dozens of water hammers are running out of life, the iron sheets are out of the factory very fast. After the first forging and forming, the second forging and drilling is performed. The civil servants tie the iron sheets with cowhide ropes and hemp ropes and tie them into a complete set of armor.

Everyone was united and even the army was mobilized to participate. For the first time, five hundred brand new sets of armor and five hundred war horse armor were also created.

Each set of armor weighs fifty kilograms, and it is very challenging to wear on the soldier's body to the physical fitness and quality of the individual soldier. In addition, the spear about twelve kilograms in his hand also accounts for seven or eight kilograms, and the total weight of his load is nearly sixty kilograms.

Gongsun Xiu selected 500 strong and brave soldiers from the army as special forces in heavy armor.

Of course, compared to cavalry, the load on war horses is even more terrifying.

The average weight of a single cavalry is around 150 kilograms, and the heavy armor and spear are added 60 kilograms. In addition, the war horses also need to carry equipment, and their weight is added 50 kilograms, and the total weight is 260 kilograms.

Such extreme weight bearing also consumes the physical strength and lifespan of the horse. The loss rate of war horses will reach an astonishing level, even a large horse breeder like Liaodong cannot afford it.

The proportion of reserved horses to equip such heavy cavalry is at the level of three horses per man.

Gongsun Xiu originally wanted to wait for more armor to set out before setting off, but the war report came from the front line: Fuyu Kingdom had officially sent troops to attack Goguryeo.

Upon hearing this news, he understood that the time was ripe and could not be delayed. He had to seize the quick battle and could no longer wait for the slaughter armor to build another 1,000 pairs. If it was fought into a lightning annihilation battle, the slaughter armor would not be used and could be stored in the arsenal as a backup. Even if the war turned into a long-term war of attrition, the slaughter armor could still be transported by the baggage troops to the front line for reinforcements.

He quickly assembled 20,000 troops, carried a large number of baggage troops, and began to plan an expedition to Goguryeo.

In Yan State, Jia Fan and Lunzhi were in charge of political affairs. Yang Zuo and Bei Yan led troops to guard the border defenses of Xiangping and Liao Tunnels to prevent the invasion of Wuqiu Jian from Youzhou.

When the army set out, two people gathered around, carrying fruits and food to welcome them, and stuffed them into the army's carriages.

Gongsun Xiu immediately understood what it means to be famous for his troops. In the eyes of the people, this battle is to resist foreign enemies and avenge the enemy, not entirely for the benefit of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Xiu lowered the curtain of the carriage and looked at the map alone.

Deng Ai rode a tall horse and went to war with the honor of the Yan State General. Looking at the cheers on both sides, the streets on both sides were full of people. Although they were all saluting to the King of Yan, they were still excited and thought to themselves: "I have the opportunity to have all come from the King of Yan today. If I cannot win a great victory in this battle, I will be ashamed of the King of Yan."

Just as the long army was traveling, Liu Qing also came to Xiangping City. Looking at the crowded army, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong?"

There were seven or eight corpses standing beside her, one of them said: "Miss, this is the King of Yan who personally led the army to conquer Fuyu Kingdom."

Gongsun Xiu had already spread rumors of attacking Fuyu Kingdom. Except for the main officials of Yan Kingdom, they did not know that they were attacking Fuyu in name, but actually marched into Goguryeo.

"The King of Yan is also among the army?"

A strange color flashed in Liu Qing's beautiful eyes, which was a bit complicated. He immediately stood on the carriage and looked into the distance, but the army was so dark that it could not see the end, and he could not see the carriage of the King of Yan.

Biqu smiled and said, "Miss, even if the King of Yan comes out and is surrounded by the army, he still lives in a carriage and is invisible."

Liu Qing said "um" and felt a pity. He stood on the carriage and thoughtfully. Just as he was about to get down, he suddenly saw a huge carriage moving among the troops. The general riding a horse next to him looked familiar and exclaimed: "Then - who is that person?"

The troupe also climbed onto the horse's back, looked at it, frowned and said, "The carriage is the carriage of the King of Yan. As for the general's appearance, it must be the general Deng Ai of this Eastern Expedition."

Liu Qing looked at it more and more familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that this person seemed to be in Dazhu, following Gongsun Xiu's people day and night. He was shocked and confused: "This——, this person is General Deng Ai, and his status should be above ten thousand people. Why was he like a child servant group by Gongsun Ce before? Could it be..."

——

Fuyu Kingdom, royal palace.

Ma Yu sat upright on his head, his face slightly calmer, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "The King of Dongchuan mistook me, saying that he had lost his lips and had cold teeth, so he should not unite with Yan State. I mistakenly listened to his one-sided words and killed the envoy from Liaodong, and since then he has made a great hatred. Yan State claimed to attack our country, and handed it to Goguryeo with gold, silver and jewelry. This was obviously a shame that the King of Dongchuan was given."

There are four people in the lower head, who are the ruling ministers of Fuyu Kingdom. Their official positions are also very interesting. They are all named after livestock, namely Maga, Niujia, Pigjia, and Dogjia. The four ministers have the qualifications to support the new king.

The four ministers looked at each other and did not dare to speak out.

Last year, Jian was ranked as Wang Bintian, and the new king Mayu succeeded to the throne. Four people went to the forefront of the public. In the marriage request of Yan State last year, Mayu ascended the throne and finally died of the previous king. After the arbitrary king addiction, he directly killed the envoy from Liaodong.

Something happened to the envoy of this killing of the envoy.

When the four ministers heard that the King of Yan wanted to intermarry with Fuyu Kingdom, they naturally thought it was good. Liaodong had intermarry with Fuyu Kingdom since Gongsun Du. After intermarrying, they could form alliances between the two countries, and the borders were stable, and border residents could also trade with each other.

But Ma Yu believed the words of the King of Dongchuan, believing that Yan State would integrate the three major forces sooner or later. If Yan State advances and invades, all three sides will be in danger. If they do not join forces to keep warm, they will be destroyed sooner or later. This made Ma Yu feel frightened. Although he has always had new and old grudges with Goguryeo, both sides are neighboring countries and rely on each other. The King of Yan wants to attack Goguryeo, and there is a big and small Fuyu Kingdom next to him, which must have been destroyed easily.

In such a worry about the destruction of the country, even if there is a huge hatred, we must sit down and discuss how to fight against the enemy together.

In order to show his determination, Ma Yu was also afraid that Fuyu State would be annexed by Yan State. In order to show his determination, he directly killed the envoy and made an alliance with the King of Dongchuan.

But unexpectedly, the envoy was killed, and the Yan State sent gold, silver and jewelry to Goguryeo to show his goodwill, while Ma Yu received a proclamation from the Yan State thousands of miles away.

This made Ma Yu not mess up on the spot.

Maga was an elderly man. He bent down and hunched back. He heard the king cursing and hurriedly said, "My Lord, I dare to say that this may be the disagreement plan of Yan State - the King of Dongchuan invaded Liaodong last year and suffered heavy losses. He had a grudge against Gongsun Xiu. We killed the envoys. Logically speaking, both sides formed hatreds. How could the proclamation only be given to Fuyu State, and Goguryeo was rewarded? I thought it was not to be trusted easily, and it was better to have an alliance with the King of Dongchuan."

Ma Yu was worried and sneered: "Who knew whether this was true or not? The strength of Yan State is far superior to that of Fuyu and Goguryeo. Now it is attracting troops to invade, how can it be defeated?"
