"Thirty A?!" Shi Dayong's eyes widened with disappointment on his face. The speed at which this armor was made was too far from his expectation. It was like pouring cold water on top of his head, making him say yes .

"Yes, Thirty Armored."

Cao Bianjiao confirmed that he was also in a hurry, but there was no other way. This armor was polished piece by piece with human hands, pulled out, and then sewed piece by piece. Finally, it had to be corrected according to the difference of each horse before it could be formally applied.This person A is also, there is no rush at all.If you want to be quick, the method is also simple, that is, reduce the number of pieces of armor on the armor, but in that way, the resistance is no different from that of ordinary chain mail, and it cannot be called a heavy cavalry iron Buddha at all.

Shi Dayong spoke for a moment, then sighed: "Too little, at this rate, wouldn't it be possible for me to use this Iron Buddha for several months? If not, tragedy will be inevitable..."[

What tragedy is inevitable?

Cao Bianjiao was confused, he didn't know what Shi Dayong was talking about, and Lao Qin was even more surprised, but seeing that the general was disappointed, he was afraid that he would blame him for sabotage, so he hurriedly interjected: "General Shi, this piece of armor is indeed difficult to control. It needs to be precise and labor-intensive. The villain just has to rush. Thirty sets of double armor in half a month will be considered good. If there are some mistakes in the middle, it may be difficult to make up even twenty sets. I hope the general can clearly see that it is not a villain who sabotages work, it is really difficult."

"A set of men and horses with double armor costs more than 120 catties of iron. The Ministry of Industry and Industry of Jinzhou allocates iron for storage. Although the Liaodong Army has it, the fine iron is in high demand. How can they give it to us easily. Only some left from the original governor's office , Master Futai couldn't help me grinding, so he approved it for me, otherwise, we wouldn't even have the iron to make armor pieces."

Cao Bianjiao looked helpless, he was also short-tempered, if it wasn't for the fact that the Iron Buddha was in line with his nature of advocating offense, and this Shi Dayong was a hero, how could he be patient and help the craftsmen to discuss how to make this armor all day long.

Young people, active, in normal times, it is better to practice martial arts if you have this kind of kung fu.

With the help of Mr. Cao Qian, Lao Qin hurriedly said: "Yes, General Shi, what Mr. Cao Qian said is the truth. It is too labor-intensive to make armors. Non-villains don't want to speed up. Satisfied What adults need, it’s really fast.”

What Cao and Qin said is true, Shi Dayong doesn't understand anymore, just looking at the vest in front of him, he knows that it is definitely not feasible to make a set in a day or two.Just imagine, how cumbersome and laborious it is to break a hundred and eighty catties of iron into pieces that can be made into vests one by one.Without the help of machinery, it is hard to do it all by manpower.

No wonder the heavy armored cavalry was eliminated. It seems that apart from being too bulky, it is also because the armor is difficult to make, it is difficult to form a large-scale army, and it cannot be replenished in time.

Who would have spent such a large cost and expended so much energy to build some heavy armored cavalry that would not last long?

Or that Qingqi came faster and more powerfully.

I don't know how Wanyan Zongbi built the three thousand iron pagodas. It is estimated that most of them are the heritage of the Liao Kingdom.

Dump the wealth of a country, but get three thousand horses.

He Shi Dayong wanted to repeat the majesty of the Iron Buddha, but how could a country become rich.

But since he boasted to Qiu Hejia that this Iron Buddha could defeat the Eight Banners, Shi Dayong refused to give up no matter what.

Whether you succeed or fail, you have to try.Difficulties, find ways to overcome them, not flinch.

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea, and hurriedly said to the old Qin: "If I give you some ready-made chain mail, you dismantle it and use the armor piece, saving the effort of making new armor pieces, right? Can the speed be greatly accelerated?"

Hearing this, Lao Qin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded affirmatively and said: "The way to make armor is first on the armor piece. If there is a ready-made armor piece, the rest is sewing and running-in. Naturally, the efficiency of making armor is lower than that of the armor plate." It was much higher before."

After a pause, he said with some doubts: "But this chain mail is very expensive. In my Ming army, only cavalry and generals have it. It is good for ordinary soldiers to have cotton mail, but I don't know where General Shi can get it." Get some chain mail? How can you be willing to hand them over to the villain to dismantle them one by one?"

Lao Qin's question was also what Cao Bianjiao wanted to say, he knew that Shi Dayong was only promoted to a general today, he was only on defense before, if he used the ready-made chain mail to dismantle the armor, at least five or six hundred squares would be needed Okay, he's a new general, with few soldiers and horses, and he's a newcomer, so where can he get so many chain mails. [

This matter can only be done unless Zu Dashou, the striker commander-in-chief, supports him, but every time my uncle mentions Zu Dashou, he can't help sighing, because he has some problems with him, so he knows that Zu Dashou will never support this other than him Shi Dayong of the direct line.

But Shi Dayong said to Old Qin: "The general will be responsible for the chain armor. I just ask you, if I give you the ready-made ones, can you make [-] sets of armor for the general within half a month?"

Lao Qin thought for a while, and replied: "If you give the villain another hundred skilled workers, the villain can barely guarantee it." He didn't dare to speak too much. It's too full, if it can't be finished by then, I'm afraid that Shi Shen will blame himself.

With Lao Qin's words, Shi Dayong was confident, nodded and said: "You don't need to feel pressure, just do it with peace of mind. No matter how much you do, I will not embarrass you."

"That villain will do his best!"

Lao Qin said that seeing that he had nothing to do, he led a few apprentices back to the craftsman's workshop.

After he left, Cao Bianjiao gave Shi Dayong a strange look, and asked, "General, where did you get so many chain mails for Lao Qin?"

"Since I said it, I will naturally get it out."

Shi Dayong smiled, walked around the six riders, and said to Cao Bianjiao as he walked: "In the battle of Dalinghe, there were more than two hundred Jiannu corpses, and there were nearly a hundred Jiannu with chain mail on their bodies. Well, my Songshan Cavalry Battalion already has [-] armors. After I discuss with Xia Li and the two generals, I will remove the [-] armors from his troops. In this way, even if the number of armors is not enough, it must not be much different. But I Go to Master Futai and ask for some fine iron, it will probably be enough."

"Will Xia and Li agree? I heard that they are Zu Dashou's people."

Cao Bianjiao heard from Guo Yi that Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were allocated by Zu Dashou to his master, so he always thought that these two people were not Shi Dayong's men, so he heard Shi Dayong said that he would take off the chain mail on his subordinates, Can't help but feel afraid.

This chain mail is the amulet of the cavalry. Zu Dashou poured out his wealth in the west of Liaoxi, and had the full support of the imperial court. He had no more than five or six thousand cavalry under his command, barely keeping a set of chain mail for each person.Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were cavalrymen, they were often under Zu Dashou's command, how could they not know the value of this chain mail, how could they dedicate all the armor of their subordinates to make this iron pagoda?

The more Cao Bianjiao thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible. His uncle Cao Wenzhao regarded this chain mail as a treasure, and he didn't allow his subordinates to discard it easily.

"I'll discuss this with them. It's up to people, you don't have to worry about it." Shi Dayong sighed in his heart. He really didn't know what attitude Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong had.Squatting under Yiqi's belly, tugged the leather rope connecting the armor piece, turned around and said to Cao Bianjiao: "By the way, Xiao Cao, the Iron Buddha has always been a three-rider, why did you become a sixth-rider, and you added this Long gun, don't you think it's redundant?"

Cao Bianjiao had been waiting for Shi Dayong to ask him about this, and hurriedly said: "The general once said to Xiao Cao that this iron stupa is charged with heavy armor and iron horses in order to destroy the enemy army. However, our Songshan army has kidnapped horses, and this iron Buddha can't be used in large numbers, so the general thought, it's better to make this iron Buddha for the use of dead soldiers. Simply change the three horses into six horses, equipped with long spears, six Riding and driving, the momentum and power can be doubled."

Shi Dayong shook his head and said: "If one rider falls to the ground, then all six riders will be lost. There are few Iron Buddhas, so the loss will be huge. I have at most three hundred, if I can stand it, it will be six riders Loss."

Changing from three cavalry to six cavalry is more powerful, but also has great disadvantages.Shi Dayong couldn't help but think of what Qiu Hejia said to him, there is also a way to decipher it, that is to kill all three cavalry and charge alone, but in that case, the power will definitely not be as powerful as three cavalry charging together.

Ben was suffering from a headache, but it was good, but Xiao Cao came up with three cavalry instead of six cavalry. While the power increased, the danger was also greater.

I don't want Cao Bianjiao to listen to his words, but he smiled, and then said with a serious face: "Since he is a dead man in the battle, then this Tiefutu only wants to die, so he dares to survive. He fell down, what's the matter?" It's a pity that our generation's wars are only for the pleasure of enmity, reporting to the country, and reporting to the ancestors, life and death are just a thought, and it's just a matter of killing after forgetting, so there is no room for distress."

It really is General Yong!The fierce general who puts life and death behind him!

Shi Dayong secretly praised, thinking about it, yes, three hundred iron pagodas are not a decisive force, once used, what they want is the effect of surprise and rampage.As long as the friendly army cooperates well, there will be meritorious deeds and hope of survival. If the friendly army does not cooperate well, facing tens of thousands of Eight Banners elites, they will have to fight back. No matter how many enemies they kill, they will only be exhausted.That being the case, why feel sorry for the casualties.

"After the armor is finished, the three hundred iron pagodas will form a battalion of their own. Well, we also need to choose a more prestigious name. After all, this iron pagoda is the name of an army of a foreign race. It is always awkward to use it. Let's call it Wolf cavalry, look, isn’t this sharp spear just like the wolf’s teeth?” [

"Wolf Cavalry?"

Cao Bianjiao clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, it sounds very majestic." After a while, he thought of something, and asked: "The general and Lord Futai said that Jiannu is about to attack in a big way, but our wolf cavalry has no shadow yet. If Jianu really came and besieged Dalinghe City, what can we do to save him?"

Shi Dayong answered this question, smiled wryly, and said frankly: "To tell you the truth, Xiao Cao, I don't know what to do. I can only take one step at a time. The best way now is to procrastinate. I hope Master Futai can It means that the two commanders-in-chief of the Wu and Song Dynasties can be mobilized. They also have [-] strong troops under their command. It should be a big problem to go to the rescue. If the rescue of the two commander-in-chief fails, we can only protect Jinzhou and wait for the imperial court to send a large army to come to the rescue. Very I am discouraged, and with my current strength, not to mention rescue, self-protection is impossible."
