Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 244

The wind blew, but the black light cavalry still stood upright.

Luo Cheng rode his horse across the battlefield, more than fifty thieves and more than ten Lujiaoguan soldiers lay down on the ground in a mess.There was still horror on their faces, but most of their bodies were mutilated.

A Douzigang thief was lying on the ground with his head turned to one side at a strange angle. He was still holding a horizontal knife tightly in his hand, but only half of the good horizontal knife was left, and the other half was cut off on one side.

It was broken by an iron hoof.

Passing through the corpses of these soldiers who died in battle, the other end is the black light cavalry.

"Shixin."

Hearing this, Luo Shixin, who was holding a long lance and pointing directly at the sky, stretched out his hand and lifted the mask on the iron helmet.

"elder brother."

"Nice job."

Kan Leng came over with a team of two people, and helped the heavily armored knight get off the horse.Luo Shixin was wearing double-layer armor and weighed a hundred catties. The horse spear, bow and knife on his body totaled more than thirty catties, but he pushed Kan Leng away and jumped off by himself supporting the saddle.

"Unarmor my horse." Shi Xin said, and then took off his helmet.

It took only a short time to put on the armor, and it took only a while to charge, but in the cold wind, his head under the helmet was already steaming, and his face was covered with sweat.

The two layers of thick armor on his body were removed, and Shi Xin's clothes were already wet with sweat.

"Take a cloth curtain and surround it, so as not to blow the cold wind."

Luo Cheng recalled the examples of many generals in ancient times who died of armor-shocking, and hurriedly shouted.

"Brother, I'm fine." Shi said.

"Be careful with this in the future. There are still two layers of such thick armor. After a long time of being stuffy, the inside will be very hot. When the armor was first removed, it was cold outside. When the wind blows, it is very easy to hurt the body. You have to pay attention in the future."

The wind of unloading armor is actually a sudden temperature difference, especially during strenuous exercise during war, the body heat of the human body is stuffy in the armor and cannot be dissipated, and the armor can reach an extremely high temperature, just like a sauna.And once the armor is removed, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is huge, especially when the cold wind blows, it may cause a stroke. This is no joke.

It is said that Chang Yuchun, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, died in this way.

The fourth child came galloping on horseback and jumped off the horse with beautiful movements.

Came over and patted Shi Xin, "I'm a mother, Shi Xin, the way you rushed into the battle just now was so awesome, and the imposing Lao Tzu was so excited behind me, it stole my limelight." He said Turning his head to Luo Chengdao, "Old Five, if this black light iron cavalry gathers enough for one hundred, then even if facing thousands of horses and horses, it will be able to go straight ahead and crush the front."

"That's natural. Heavy armored cavalry is a killer move. The bigger the army is fighting, the more effective the heavy armored cavalry will be."

Luo Cheng remembered Li Shimin in history, who fought east and west for the founding of the Tang Dynasty. He had an extremely elite black armored cavalry under his command. It is said that the size of this heavy cavalry wearing black bright armor was no more than a thousand.But it is this heavy cavalry that can play a decisive role at critical moments time and time again.

"Mother, I'm drooling watching this, I want to take this black light iron cavalry. Even if it's only ten cavalry, it's still very majestic." The fourth child sighed again and again.

Luo Cheng didn't care what the fourth brother said. Although Shi Xin was young and usually simple and honest, Ke Shi Xin had the courage to move forward.

Anyway, heavy cavalry don't need to make decisions, they just send them to charge at critical moments.

This is the cavalry that is bought and sold with a hammer. Send it out and hammer it down, and then it will be enough.

Siye also came over with a Mo Dao. After Shixin and the others charged past just now, the remaining thieves had no resistance at all, and they chopped them all down in a few strokes.

"If you want to find a way to get more heavy cavalry, you have to gather a hundred cavalry first." Siye praised Shi Xin and the others for their first battle just now.

Luo Cheng could only smile wryly, everyone knows how powerful the heavy cavalry is, but it's so easy to do.For his ten riders, Zhang Xutuo gave five sets of armor, and Duan Zhongkui gave five sets of armor.This is not only about having money, but also about having a way.Even if they are soldiers of the Weifu now, it doesn't matter, the Ministry of War and Weiwei Temple, it is difficult to get these equipments.

Wang Lvshuai from Lujiao Pass watched from a distance, but he didn't dare to come over.Luo Cheng gave him the order to let them take the lead, but they ran away before the battle. Although he was not Luo Cheng's subordinate, General Liu Zhen had temporarily handed them over to Luo Cheng's command. If Luo Cheng is ruthless, This will kill people directly.

"Damn, why are the soldiers of Changbai Mansion so tough, they even have heavy cavalry."

"Yeah, damn it, there are such awesome heavy cavalry, why do you ask us to take the lead?"

Several town soldiers huddled there and complained, but they just murmured in private and didn't dare to go there.

The government soldiers unarmed ten heavily armored horses, surrounded them with cloth curtains, handed them dry towels to wipe off their sweat, and loaded them into the carriages with all the armor removed, just like taking care of the uncle.

"Okay, let's clean up the battlefield and clean up that salt workshop."

This was an unsurprising victory, the first trial with a sledgehammer, and the effect was excellent.Although a chicken was killed with a butcher's knife, the effect is still very obvious.

What is even more gratifying is that in this exchange of fire, no soldier in Changbai Mansion was injured, only more than ten people from Lujiaoguan were broken.

But no one cares about them, as long as it’s not a brother from the Changbai Mansion who died, the soldiers happily chopped off the heads of all those bandits, and then searched them all, no matter if he was a shabby sword soldier, or The silver and copper with him were not spared.

The envy of the town soldiers in the distance is that these people move quickly and have their own division of labor.What is puzzling is that no matter what they searched for, they honestly handed them over one by one.

The point is that none of these people has an expression of dissatisfaction.

"There are evil doors everywhere in this Changbai mansion." Wang Lvshuai said.

"No, who actually has heavy cavalry in the new military mansion? Our Lujiaoguan town has been stationed here for many years, and we don't have such equipment."

Saltworks.

The officers and soldiers went back and forth, but in a short period of time, the offense and defense changed.Before, the thieves in the square shouted and chased them out, but now the officers and soldiers swaggered around, but none of the thieves disappeared.

Shi Xin, who had just rushed through the formation, led his nine heavy cavalry, all of them were sitting in the carriage at the moment, and their horses followed beside them without any weight, continuing to enjoy the treatment of the uncle.

Lao Jia and Fatty Qi surrounded the Yanfang with Qingqi, and then Siye and Cunxiao brothers swaggered in with their infantry.

More than a hundred salt people became Luo Cheng's captives as a result of the battle, including the hundreds of rock salt that had been boiled in the workshop, all became Luo Cheng's spoils of war.

There are also more than a dozen large iron cauldrons, which have also become trophies.

Luo Cheng called a salt head and asked about the method of boiling salt. He learned that the brine in the salt lake is good for boiling salt here. Stir, the brine scatters, and finally becomes salt.

A thousand catties of salt water can get about thirty or forty catties of salt.

However, boiling salt also requires technology. Different salt making methods result in different tastes and different color particles.The salt they cook here is already in excellent condition and can be sold well in the Kanto region.

However, Luo Cheng looked at the seized salt, but felt that the salt particles were huge, and they were not white at all, the yellow was still black, and even very damp.

But this kind of salt is called a high-quality product and is sold well in Kanto.

"Hundreds of rock salt, it seems that this workshop has been accumulating for a long time, and we just wiped it all out and made a profit." The fourth child looked at the baskets of salt and laughed.Hundreds of halite are worth ten times the grain, so of course I made a profit.
