Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 356 What a pity (second update)
Chapter 359 What a pity

Xie An gradually understood. From this picture scroll, he understood the difference between Wei State and Jin State. Here is full of hope, but Jin Dynasty is gloomy.

All the way west, Xie An's speed gradually accelerated.

Although the speed was faster, the shock that Wei Guo brought to Xie An did not decrease at all.Especially because of the alliance between Jin and Wei in the past, Xie An used to be an envoy to the state of Wei.

In his impression, most parts of Wei State were dilapidated.Most of the fields are in a barren state.

But now, in just over a year, there is no wasteland on both sides of the official road, and most of them are reclaimed fields.At this time, Xie An also discovered that almost every old village and town had built a different temple—the Temple of Martyrs.

This is the place where Ran Min built it to commemorate the fallen soldiers of Wei State.

Xie An looked at the solemn-looking common people and gentry who all went to pay respects, he was no longer emotional, these days, the changes in Wei State brought him too much emotion.

This morning, Xie An and his party met a Wei army on the official road. This army was not large, only about 500 people, but they were all cavalry, one man and three horses, as if they were carrying out something. Task.The ordinary official road is actually not too wide. According to the modern size, it should look like a two-lane lane. The speed of this army is very fast.

The galloping horse startled Xie An's nanny horse immediately, the coachman controlled the crossbow horse, and the carriage rushed out of the official road and rushed into the field next to it.

Just like now, there is a ditch about five or six feet wide beside the field. If there is no accident, the carriage will overturn in an instant.

No matter how calm Xie An was, he was in a hurry right now.If the car overturned, he and Mei Ji in his arms would be seriously injured even if they did not die.

It was too late, but it was too late, the cavalry rushed to ride in the formation, and when Xie An's carriage fell into the ditch, the knight made a move.A noose was accurately wrapped around the neck of the poor horse, and the knight showed his amazing riding skills during the high-speed gallop. The knight suddenly turned and galloped in the opposite direction.No matter the speed or strength of the poor horse, it cannot compare with the war horse in the army.Pulled by the huge force, the crossbow horse's hooves flew into the air, and it stopped running.

Although it sounds slow, it is actually only a few breaths of effort.Seeing the carriage stop, Xie An also broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did Xie Yan and Xie Lang come to their senses, their faces changed with fright.

"Uncle (Father), are you okay!"

Seeing that Xie An was safe and sound, the two breathed a sigh of relief.Although Xie An broke out in a cold sweat, he still jumped out of the carriage gracefully, and rushed to offer a helping hand: "Thank you, little general, for saving my life!"

The young knight said with a smile: "What a waste of effort, I still have military affairs, so I will see you again someday!"

The knight turned to catch up with the large army in front, and slowly disappeared from sight.Xie An looked at the flags flying in the air, vaguely it was the words of Great Wei against the Rebellious Army.

Xie An suddenly said to Xie Lang, Xie Yan, and Xuan Xian, "What do you think of this army?"

Xie Lang said: "Mighty and majestic, an elite teacher!"

Xie Yan said: "The master of Tiger Ben is invincible."

Only Xuan Xian remained silent, Xie An said: "Xian'er, what do you think?"

Xuan Xian said: "Wei's army is well equipped and well trained."

"Huh?" Xie An smiled and said, "Let's hear it."

Xuan Xian said: "Looking at the banner of this army, it should be a bandit-hunting army that is in charge of the Lord and punishing bandits in the territory of Wei State. In fact, its duties are similar to those of our county soldiers in the Jin Dynasty. In Wei State, they are only considered second-rate troops, not First class elite!"

"What, it's just a second-rate army?" Xie Yan questioned: "Didn't you see it? They marched like clouds and flowing water, and their movements were skillful. Except for the neighing of war horses, not a single soldier made a sound, which shows that they are rigorously trained. A strong murderous aura that even a poor horse can’t withstand, is this kind of army only a second-rate army?”

Xi Xian smiled and said: "The fact is so, you may not believe it if you tell me, you also know the rebellious general of Wei State, he is the King of Jiaodong."

"Ran Ming?" Xie Yan.

Xuan Xian said again: "In the third year of Yongxing of the Great Wei, Ran Ming was ordered to form the Great Wei Rebellion Army. The whole army consisted of six divisions. The main duty was to conquer the bandits in the Wei State and protect the safety of the place. After more than a year of continuous battles, the territory of the Wei State The big and small mountain kings and bandits have almost disappeared, and this is the credit of this army. Don't you realize that this army armor is different from the armor we know?"

Xie An also nodded.In fact, he also discovered that this army was different. The equipment of the Jin Dynasty army could be said to be not bad, but compared with the Wei army, it was more than a little worse.

The armor of this army is not like ordinary armor, which is assembled from small pieces, but they are simply a large piece.The entire front chest is one piece, and the back is another piece.The arms and legs are nothing but four large pieces of armor.

Xie An wondered how a large piece of steel was processed into a curved shape, which just fit the shape of the human body... This is definitely not the processing technology of this era.

In fact, Xie An's guess was right, this is indeed not a craft of this era.

In this era, except for the heavy infantry, ordinary soldiers are equipped with Zhajia. Who told Ran Ming to love the Mingguang armor that was popular in the Tang Dynasty? Other than Ren Jia, he is the most powerful.

However, one characteristic of Mingguang armor is that the cost is too high. Later, Ran Ming invented the steel-filling method in Qingzhou, which greatly increased the steel production capacity of Wei State, and steel became less expensive. However, there is still no way to reduce the cost of the armor. .After all, the Mingguang Armor needs more than 800 armor pieces, and these armor pieces need to be connected together manually, which is very troublesome.

Later, Ran Ming thought of the armor props produced by the film and television company of later generations. These props are machine-stamped with thin iron sheets in the shape of the human body. Not only will they not hinder the normal movement of the human body, but they are very beautiful, simple and elegant.

Although Ran Ming can't make the punching machine of the later generations in this era, he can use a hydraulic giant punching machine, and the armor will be formed by pressing it directly. The inner armor can resist a crossbow.

The top of the armor has been carefully polished and polished, as bright as a mirror.At least not worse than the metal mirrors people use now.

What Chu Xian said was right, even the second-rate army of the Wei State, who was looking for thieves, was equipped in this way, which could not but be said to be rich and powerful.

Xie An was also guessing that Ran Min not only tried his best to win over the poor nobles and refugees from the Jin Dynasty, but also borrowed money from farmers at such a low interest rate, where did his money come from? Why did Ran Min have so much money?

……

In Jiankang City, which is far from the Bell and Drum Tower in Xiling Lane, there is an inconspicuous wine shop, which does not sell immortal drunk.It is ordinary rice wine and rice wine, because the taste is much worse than Xianrenzui. Since Xianrenzui became popular in the Jin Dynasty, ordinary wine has suffered a catastrophe.Even though it was lunch time, there were not many customers.

As a result, the business of this restaurant was very poor. There was a shopkeeper and four guys sitting lazily and bored in the store.At this moment, a gust of wind rang out, and the shopkeeper's cloudy eyes became radiant.

With a sound of "bang!", a short crossbow arrow was inserted into the screen behind the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked up and saw a note wrapped on it.

The shopkeeper made a gesture, and a guy quickly rushed out of the restaurant. After a while, the guy came back and shook his head at the shopkeeper.Apparently he didn't see anyone coming.

The shopkeeper pulled out the arrow, and opened the note on it to see, there were a few beautiful handwriting on it: "Today we meet at Anxi Tea House in East City at Shenshi!"

He didn't say who he was going to invite, and he didn't say what kind of invitation he was going to meet. It was just such an inexplicable sentence. The shopkeeper suddenly seemed to understand something, and his expression changed immediately, and he came to the backyard with a note.

"Mr. Jin, Mr. Tie, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to show his temper in front of Jin Nu and Tie Nu, he was afraid that he would accidentally offend these two evil stars.

Jin Nu said, "Ah Tie, what do you think?"

Tie Nu looked at the font, showing a look of bitter thought. After a while, he murmured: "I seem to have seen this font somewhere!"

Jin Nu laughed and said, "I don't know where you read books except the master's study room."

Tie Nu said: "That's true, I think Ah Jin also guessed who is playing tricks!"

Jin Nu said: "It's not difficult to guess. There are only a handful of people in Jiankang who are able to find us. There should be no one else except her."

In the afternoon, Jin Nu and Tie Nu dressed up as two scholars. Jin Nu and Tie Nu were tall and strong like a beast.

It would definitely be very pleasing to the eye in armor or military uniforms, but the two of them wore Confucian scholar uniforms.

That felt a little ridiculous.In particular, the Confucian scholar's uniforms of the two were obviously a little small, and they were stretched tightly on their bodies.

When Shen Shi was approaching, Jin Nu and Tie Nu came to Anxi Tea House.

At this time, Anxi Tea House seemed to be deserted, but who were Jin Nu and Tie Nu? From their weak breathing, they could tell that there were obviously many people ambushed in the tea house, and they were all good hands.

Youdao means that people with high skills are bold, Jin Nu and Tie Nu looked at each other, and walked into the tea house swaggeringly.

As soon as he walked into the hall, a beautiful and charming beauty ran out immediately.

The beauty was blessed, and said with a flowery smile, "Dear guest, please!"

There was no words along the way, along the stairs, Jin Nu and Tie Nu walked to the third floor of the tea house, and came to a private room near the window.The beauty knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the guests have arrived!"

"Minako, bring them in!"

This beautiful woman is the No. [-] figure in the shadow group, Minako Igawa.Obviously Jin Nu and Iron Nu were a little surprised.Jin Nu said: "I have admired your name for a long time!"

Minako Yichuan sneered and said, "What's the name of the slave family!"

Tie Nu said: "I didn't expect that the murderous and ruthless shadow is actually a beautiful woman, what a pity..."

Minako Igawa asked doubtfully, "What's the pity?"
