Chapter 618 Cotton Armor(1/3)
In the late autumn plateau, the wind is cold and the temperature has fallen below zero, and the air is turned into ice.
The bitter north wind roared and rolled in the mountain stream.
However, the sound was completely covered by the roaring fighting sounds and the howlings of countless people on the wasteland!
Even the bitter cold wind was infected by the passion of the soldiers fighting on both sides at this moment.
The biting cold wind seemed to turn into a hot wind at this time.
Sweat and blood gushed at the same time.
The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!
puff!
Wang Daxun waved the heavy axe he held with force, and the eight-inch axe blade was forged with fine iron. The tail of the axe was thick and narrow, especially suitable for breaking armor and beheading.
The warrior holding this heavy axe has been the pioneer of the army since the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Dafu's skills have been tempered for more than ten years, and he is familiar with how to kill the enemy.
then!
As he waved the heavy axe in his hand skillfully, he slashed hard at the enemy facing him.
The sharp axe blade effortlessly split the thin leather armor of the person opposite, slashed along the flesh, and directly split the body of the enemy in front.
Most of his body was split directly, and hot blood sprayed out to the face, pouring the King's Axe in heavy armor all over.
Wang Daxao wiped the blood from his face, held the heavy axe tightly in both hands, walked forward quickly, and continued to rush towards the next enemy.
At this time, in the wilderness of this plateau.
Civilization has dissipated, leaving only the most primitive beast instincts of human beings.
Brutality, bloodthirsty and ruthlessness dominate everything.
The Song army wearing leather armor and felt hats fought with the Tubo people wearing felts.
If someone looks down from the air, then it will be obvious that the Song army, which claims to be civilized and based on benevolence and righteousness, is more barbaric, cruel and bloodthirsty than those Tubo people who wear only leather armor at most.
Especially those warriors who are like the king's axe, wearing heavy armor, holding heavy axes or iron maces.
They were like silent Vajras, releasing their anger on the Tubo people.
The chain mail specialized in the manufacture of military weapons bureaus and military weapons supervision, and was hung on these warriors, making them almost immune to the weapons of most Tubo people.
The expensive weapons they held forged with fine iron were like the sickle of the god of death, harvesting the lives of their enemies.
This is why heavy armored infantry swept across the battlefield in the era of cold weapons.
It is also the trend of today's era.
The iron kites of the Dangxiang people all have armor, and their armor is forged by the cold forging technology that Dangxiang is unique to the world. It is called "Zengzi Jia".
This kind of iron armor can even be immune to all long-range firepower except the Divine Arm Bow, the Eight-Number Crossbow and the catapult at a distance of fifty steps.
Even if you want to break the defense of the Divine Arm Bow, you need to use a special armor-breaking heavy arrow to get a chance!
Considering the speed of the Iron Harrier and the crossbow arrows, the pitiful hit rate of the bow and arrow.
The Iron Harriers could almost ignore all the long-range projection firepower of the Song army and come and go freely on the battlefield.
This is the real reason why Yuan Hao was able to establish his country.
The decades of raising Gu in the Song and Xia war caused the Western Army of the Song Dynasty to pay great attention to close combat.
Armor-breaking weapons such as heavy axes and iron maces have become symbols of elites.
Relying on the national strength of the Song Dynasty, iron armor, which is extremely expensive, was also produced in batches by specialized manufacturing military weapons bureaus, military weapons supervision and other institutions.
The Tubo people became victims of this competition.
Just like now, their leather armor and a few inferior iron armor were unable to defend against the powerful bows and crossbows of the Song army.
Originally, they could also rely on close combat without fear of death to gain an advantage.
But now, this only advantage has been completely lost!
Because the Song army is more barbaric, more cruel, and more fearless than theirs.
no way!
Under the reward of Yuanyou Army, in the eyes of Wang Daxun, all the enemies in front of him were walking copper coins.
One head is six silo money or two pieces of silk cloth.
Therefore, in the eyes of the neighbors of Bianjing City, this honest and honest man, in the eyes of Didao's officials, and in the eyes of Xiang Zongji, the honest and reliable village party.
Turn into a violent murderer.
The heavy axe danced and stepped like a flying step.
The Tubo archer tried his best to pull the bowstrings, trying to delay his actions.
However, on the battlefield, it is not an easy thing to hit a warrior wearing iron armor and moving at high speed with a bow and arrow.
What's more, the weather is very cold now and there is a north wind on the battlefield.
Their bowstrings were damp and their hands had to fight against the cold. The arrows they shot were soft and weak. When they were blown by the north wind, they lost their heads.
Once the Tubo people were approached by heavy armored warriors like Wang Dafu.
That would be even more despair!
Their bronze and inferior iron swords were cut on iron armor made of fine iron and weighing at least two cents and five cents per armor leaf. It had no other effect except for making people groan.
A few of them who possess armor-breaking weapons such as maces are simply unable to get close to the soldiers of the Song army.
Because behind these iron armored soldiers, there are a large number of light armored or unarmed infantry.
These infantry, holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, and carrying bows and crossbows, followed the soldiers.
It can be seen that even in the fight, the Song army arranged a dense and complete array.
This array allows them to echo each other, protect and support each other.
So, until afternoon, the Tubo people on the wasteland finally collapsed.
A large number of defeated soldiers began to escape.
The entire military formation could no longer be maintained and fell into chaos.
The Song army was ecstatic, drumming and dancing the flag.
Wang Daxun, who was already in a madness, calmed down instantly after hearing the drum beat.
He held up the heavy axe in his hand, and in the blunt Tubo words he learned in Xizhou, he began to shout at the fleeing Tubo soldiers: "The emperor of the Han family is kind, as long as you are right, you will be fine if you do not blame me!"
All these are money!
According to the Yuanyou Army’s reward order, alive prisoners are more valuable than beheading!
The most important thing is that these are the best young and strong.
The cotton fields at home may have to be invited to farm next year.
The fleeing Tubo people were startled by the sudden change of the Song army.
A few guys who were already exhausted hesitated for a moment.
It was during this moment that Guo Gui, who had been carrying Baoding and following Wang Daxun, immediately screamed strangely, took the dozens of Baodings he commanded, and ran up quickly.
He pressed these people to the ground and tied them up immediately. Everyone's movements were extremely skillful, just like he had practiced thousands of times.
This is the old craft of the Song Dynasty's official army.
It is a traditional skill passed down from the late Tang Dynasty, but in the past, the Song army usually used it to break the city and loot the civilians.
Now it is still easy to use when capturing prisoners.
So although these people are rough in their movements, they are very particular in their techniques and will not hurt people at all. They only focus on uniforms.
...
One hour later, when the battlefield subsides.
The military judge sent by the Hezhou Prefecture Office, accompanied by a group of officials, began to inspect the battlefield, count the heads and prisoners, and seized them.
The heads were cut down by people, and they were piled on the battlefield.
The captives were taken together in groups, and their bondage had been lifted.
The Song army even set up a big pot on the battlefield and cooked porridge and rice.
Some of the prisoners had eaten barley rice and barley porridge.
So they didn't panic much.
The military judge carefully checked the results and counted the heads.
A ferocious head with blood stains.
The officials carefully checked their heads to confirm their hairstyle, appearance and age.
