Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 442 This East Wind Is Not That East Wind

Chapter [-] This East Wind Is Not That East Wind
As for how Li Yuan distributed the seized gold, Chen Ying didn't worry about it. It seemed that the Tang army's conquest of Zheng had nothing to do with Chen Ying, the right deputy commander. Chen Ying's greatest pleasure every day was to practice fiercely the soldiers of the Modao Army under his command.As the saying goes, practice three times in winter and practice three days in summer.

Although it was past thirty-nine at this time, the weather outside was freezing, which was an excellent time for military training.

It is a pity that there is still not enough Mo Dao. There are only more than [-] Mo Dao and Gaomenggang Mingguang armor shipped from Chang'an.With a wave of Chen Ying's hand, the soldiers of the Modao Army were divided into two waves for training. Half of the soldiers did not wear armor or hold the Modao.

The other half were wearing Mingguang armor, holding Mo Dao and following orders, stepping on drums, pushing forward like a wall.As the training continued, the cooperation between the soldiers of the Zhongmo Sword Army became more and more close.

The training of the officers and men of the Modao Army is actually just a few moves, heavy chopping from top to bottom, reverse chopping from right to left, thrusting from bottom to top, and straight chopping from left to right.

However, it is undeniable that although Mo Daojun's sword technique is simple, it is concise and ruthless.It was done in one go, without tricks, simple and practical. If Mo Dao Shou swept and slashed like this on the battlefield, there would probably be dead bodies all over the field.

"Woooo..." Every time before dawn, Chen Ying, who was overly energetic, blew the thick and desolate battle horn.Mo Dao Shou, Long Soldiers, Short Soldiers, Shesheng, Hook and Sickle Spears, and other arms, got up in a hurry like burning their buttocks, and used biting cold water to expel the sleepiness in their heads.

No one could do anything about it. Chen Ying didn't beat or curse anyone when he was late. The key point was that Chen Ying was hungry.

As long as you have a stick of incense, you can't complete the fully armed assembly. I'm sorry, but I won't ask about breakfast.In such a cold day, if you still can't eat under such intense training, that's a terrible thing.Chen Ying has no sympathy to talk about, no food for being late, and no food for failing to meet the training standards.After the whole army assembled, there was no lecturing or morale boosting, and a five-kilometer fully armed cross-country warm-up was carried out first.

After completing the five-kilometer cross-country, breakfast is served. Of course, the time is only a quarter of an hour and two sticks of incense. The equivalent time for future generations is only about 10 minutes. Soldiers who have not completed the cross-country warm-up, sorry, they don’t have to eat breakfast, they can have it together at noon.

When Guo Luo came to Chen Ying, the new Lord, he felt very curious.In particular, Chen Ying's wealth and wealth gave Guo Luo a new understanding of Chen Ying.

On the first day he became the deputy commander of the Tiger Yicong, the quartermaster gave him a pair of Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel. Of course, the Mingguang armor equipped by ordinary generals is completely different from the Mingguang armor of the Modao Army. .The Mingguang armor of the Modao Army weighs 35 kilograms. It can be exempted from shooting bows and arrows other than the bed crossbow at medium and short distances. Even if it is a three-stone bow and arrow, if you don’t use a specially made armor-piercing cone, you don’t have to worry about being hurt at all.But the Mingguang armor of ordinary infantry only weighs fifteen catties.

Armor and tanks are actually the same thing, the heavier the weight, the higher the defense.The fifteen-pound high-manganese steel Mingguang armor can't ignore bows and arrows like the Modao Army's Mingguang armor, but you don't have to worry about bows and arrows under one stone. For three-stone heavy crossbows and strong bows above three stones, they are powerless.

However, there is no need to worry about this. The pulling force of a three-stone bow and arrow requires 360 catties. Generally speaking, unless you are a talented player with super strength, you can't do anything about it.Not to mention that there is only fifteen catties of Mingguang armor, there is only one scratch when the horizontal knife is cut on it.

This can be called the armor of invulnerability. Guo Luo was inexplicably moved when he got this armor, but he found that almost all the soldiers in the army were issued this kind of armor. Guo Luo had to say that Chen Ying was rich and powerful.

Of course, this is not the only thing that Chen Ying is rich and powerful. No matter who owns a sword that is as solid as mud, can it still be regarded as a treasure?But Chen Ying was lucky, not only the soldiers in the army had a handle, but even the peasants who followed the army were given a steel ax weighing fifteen catties.

In Chen Ying's eyes, the steel ax, which can be called a sharp weapon for killing people, is just something that can barely chop firewood. A siege machine.

In addition to equipment, the soldiers of the Tang Army also ate very well.Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In this era, three meals are special treatment for the children of the aristocratic family, but Chen Ying not only gave the whole army three meals, but also ate very richly.For breakfast, there are three kinds of steamed buns, small rice, rice, and sorghum rice, and there is no limit. You can eat three bowls, which is definitely enough.

In addition to enough food, there are also dishes.Of course, the dishes are not good dishes, mainly tofu, bean sprouts, or radish stew.The steamed buns are all made from refined wheat. The coarse wheat bran is reserved for the warhorses as the concentrate, while the fine flour is used to steam the steamed buns. A half-jin steamed bun and a large bowl of bean sprout soup will basically fill you up. .

Lunch is a bit more hearty, there are three-finger-wide soup cakes (both noodles), soup and dry, very anti-hunger.Guo Luo didn't know how much food Chen Ying had. Anyway, the soldiers in the army ate it every day, but the food was brought in continuously from Chang'an City or Tongguan.

Although the taste of the food is not very good, the oil and water are not enough.But no one dared to say anything strange, what kind of world is this?Even a landlord with hundreds of thousands of acres of land at home can’t guarantee that he can eat rice and white noodles all at once. Save brushing.

Guo Luo knew a little about arithmetic. He knew that the whole army plus civilian husbands would total more than [-] people, and they would have to eat [-] shi of grain, as well as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar a day, but Chen Ying did not experience any shortage of supplies. signs.

Naturally, Guo Luo didn't know that there were actually three aspects to Chen Ying's supplies, part of which was the two stones of grain he carried when he set off from Chang'an, which was actually the grain and food he had exchanged from Li Shentong with his armor.

At this time, Li Shentong also became a second-hand dealer.The heavy armor that Chen Ying regarded as scrap steel was a treasure in Li Shentong's eyes.In fact, the powerful families all have their own private soldiers. Of course, if the number is small, Li Yuan can pretend not to see it. If the number is too large, it means you want to be disobedient.

Therefore, while reducing the number of private soldiers, these aristocratic families have been increasing the equipment of private soldiers. Unfortunately, the aristocratic clans do not have such advanced technology as Chen Ying. Made in a small workshop, the cost is almost as high as more than [-] guan, and the aristocratic family can't resist such a high price.But the heavy armor that Chen Ying sold was only a few dozen pieces, it was nothing more than a free gift.

As a result, Chen Ying was under Hangu Pass, and the aristocratic families brought their sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks or cloth to trade with Chen Ying.

At this time, Chen Ying had less than a thousand sets of heavy armor, but what he got in exchange was his luggage camp, with all kinds of luggage piled up like a mountain.

Chen Ying asked the troops to take turns to carry out offensive and defensive drills in the lower city of Hangu Pass every day, and unexpectedly achieved unexpected results.

The densely packed and neat Tang army soldiers pushed the ladder carts and nest carts to attack the city wall, but Wang Renze was frightened.Wang Ren felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and he asked all the soldiers to prepare for battle, but when he was still a stone's throw away from Hangu Pass, he took the initiative to retreat.

But Wang Renze had no choice but to tell Chen Ying when to turn the fiction into reality.So he had to keep an eye on the city wall himself, and take his steps to guard against death.

Chen Ying said, if you are willing to stand up to the battle, just wait.He conducts three or five whole-army attacks every day, and without exception, he moves away with one touch, without dragging his feet.Time is short, Wang Renze and his soldiers can still persist, but after seven or eight days, let alone ordinary soldiers, even Wang Renze is almost driven crazy by Chen Ying.

That night, Wang Renze had just been lying on the bed, before he could fall asleep, when suddenly the drums outside the city were beating loudly.In the past seven or eight days, Wang Renze didn't have a good night's sleep. He heard the sound of war drums, but quickly closed his eyes.Roaring hysterically: "You bastard Chen Ying, come here again..."

But Wang Ren deserved to be slapped in the face when his words just fell.I heard the guards shouting urgently outside the door: "Report to the general, the Tang army has attacked the city!"

At this time, the western half of the sky was already lit up with fire, as if the sky was on fire.Seeing this scene, Wang Renze naturally knew that this must be the torch in the hands of the generals of the Tang army. As the saying goes, when more than 2 torches were lit at the same time, it was like a mountain fire erupting.

In desperation, Wang Ren hurried up to the west wall of Hangu Pass as long as he put on his armor.

It's just that when they came to the west city wall, Tang Jun had receded like a tide.

What was left to Wang Renze were the backs of countless Tang soldiers, the mottled blood on the city wall, and hundreds of mutilated corpses.

Wang Ren yelled at the night sky, "Son Chen Ying, don't leave, everyone will fight to the death!"

It's just that Wang Ren was doomed to waste his efforts. When Wang Shichong just got up, Chen Ying had already returned to the big tent, lying on the big soft bed, sleeping soundly.

Wang Ren had no choice but to leave some of his staff and continue to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Chen Ying got up as usual, and then ordered people to blow the thick and desolate battle horn.As the sobbing battle horn sounded through the sky, the Modao Army and the Yueqi Army followed the order and got up and assembled quickly.

Shan Xiongxin, who was wearing a purple-gold tiger-head mask on his face, asked very strangely: "If the general talks about exhausting the enemy, it's almost the same now. Why don't you attack?"

Chen Ying looked at Hangu Pass, which was prostrate in the night sky like an ancient giant beast, and said, "I'm waiting!"

Shan Xiongxin asked doubtfully, "What are you waiting for, Lord?"

"I'm waiting for the east wind!"

Not only did Shan Xiongxin not understand, but he became even more confused: "Dongfeng? With the current weather, it is estimated that the east wind will not come for three to five months."

Chen Ying sighed and said, "This Dongfeng is not that Dongfeng!"
