Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 296
"My lord, is this the Mingguang armor?" Dai Ling asked in puzzlement after taking two sets of armor that Feng Yao specifically asked for.

One of these sets was taken off from the body of Chunyu Dao who was burned to death. Although it was roasted a bit, the bright and smooth armor was not stained with much soot, and it was still like new after being wiped!
The other set was put together. In the entire Cao Ren army, only Cao Ren and his five lieutenants wore this kind of bright armor. The other generals who were lower were all fish scale armor, and the bottom generals were thickened with iron bars. First.

Cao Ren's helmet had already been damaged by Dai Ling, while Niu Jin's breastplate was stabbed in half by Feng Yao with a jade sword. Both sets of armor were damaged by half, and another set was made. .

Feng Yao nodded, and said: "This set of armor is very well-made, and ordinary weapons can't break through its defense at all! I plan to send one of these two sets of armor back to Pingyu for the craftsmen to study. See if you can't try to imitate it, if it can be successfully produced, I plan to equip Xiong Wei and all the senior generals in the army with this kind of bright light armor!"

Dai Ling didn't seem to believe that this kind of armor was as magical as Feng Yao said, so he took a short halberd and chopped it off with all his strength, the wooden handle of the short halberd was broken by Dai Ling, and there was only a small mark on the armor. Ling took the fine steel spear from another Xiong Wei, and tried to pierce the armor. The point of the spear slid away just as it touched the smooth surface of the armor.

Everyone was shocked, surprised that the defensive power of this armor had reached such a level!
Dai Ling picked up the armor again and wanted to see it clearly, but his eyes were dazzled by the reflection on the armor, and he was shocked and said: "My lord, I know why this armor is called Mingguang armor!!"

Feng Yao also just heard Niu Jin call out Ming Guangkai's name, and didn't know why he chose such a name. He was quite shocked when he heard Dai Ling say it.

"why?"

"My lord, one of the most obvious features of this type of armor is that the surface is very smooth and bright. If the sun shines on it, it can flash into the enemy's eyes, affecting the enemy's vision during battle, thereby reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness!" Dai Ling said loudly.

Feng Yao walked over hurriedly, took a look, and sure enough, as Dai Ling said, it really dazzled his eyes, and this was only in the case of a cloudy day.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to make such an excellent armor. Fortunately, we are now attacking Cao Cao. If Cao Cao continues to develop, I don't know how many Mingguang armors will be produced!!" Feng Yao said.

The soldiers from Qingzhou at the foot of the mountain, with the help of the county soldiers and strong men, quickly buried all the corpses. After inserting a few wooden signs, they all returned to Feng Yao and asked for their hands to be tied up again.

Feng Yao shook his head and said, "No need, I believe you will do what you say, and I still need you to carry those weapons and armor!"

Although it was only twenty miles from the top of the mountain to Laiwu City, Feng Yao didn't want the soldiers in the city to make another trip.

Lifting up the wounded soldiers and carrying the spoils of victory, Feng Yao's whole army retreated to Laiwu City.

They were too sleepy. Last night, in order to set up traps, all the soldiers and young men had not slept for two days and one night.

……

Yanzhou Juancheng
It has been surrounded on all sides for days!

After the troops of Zhang Liao and Xue Yong attacked Juancheng, they built large-scale catapults, and every day they transported stones from Fan County and other places where rocks were produced, and projected them into the city.

Although Gao Shun's army under Lu Bu attacked Juancheng several times, they could not use catapults due to the lack of stones at the north gate, and the moat of Juancheng was wide and deep, so the tunnel dug could not go far, and would be destroyed. It was so full of water that it was impossible to pass through.

Juancheng's defender, General Jin, who stayed behind in Juancheng also had such an advantage that he was able to guard the city with confidence. However, what Ling Yujin did not expect was that the coalition forces of Feng Yao and Zhang Liao would soon break through the Dongping Kingdom, even more so with lightning speed. Fan county was captured by deception.

Once Fan County was lost, the rear of Juancheng was unstable, and the supply of grain and grass in the city was completely cut off!The soldiers in the city and those left behind can only eat rice porridge every day!There is no food at all, and what is even more terrible is that Lu Bujun solved the source of the stone this time. He kept attacking with catapults from morning to night every day. Even at night, he would suddenly, without knowing when, Catapults will attack again.

Every day, Lv Bu's army's persuasion to surrender would sound from time to time outside the city, and letters of persuasion would be shot into the city from time to time. The soldiers guarding the city were panicked and exhausted. You can only sit under the parapet and close your eyes for a while.

On this day, Lu Bu estimated that Juancheng's morale had dropped to the bottom, so he put on his armor, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, and led all his followers to the foot of Juancheng. The enemy soldiers on board were shocked.

"It's not good!! Go and invite the general!! Lu Bu came to attack the city in person!!! We're done!! We're done!!!"

"Calm down! Lu Bu is not trying to attack the city! If it were to attack the city, our city would have been captured long ago. Lu Bu is here to persuade you to surrender!! You!! Go and invite General Yu to come here immediately!!" an enemy general shouted Shout out to control the commotion at the head of the city.

The general's surname is Lu Mingqian, and his style name is Zike. He is a native of Rencheng in Yanzhou. Several times the number of troops came to attack but could not be taken, and Lu Qian's reputation spread from this.

After Cao Cao got Yanzhou, he heard of Lu Qian's reputation, so he appointed him as a governor of Hulu County, and led the soldiers to help guard Hulu City.

Not long ago, due to the attacks of Wei Yan and Zhang Liao, Ren Chengguo was destroyed, and Hulu City was also breached. Lu Qian brought his cronies and soldiers to Juancheng to find Cao Cao to get another position. At that time, he withdrew from Juancheng and went to attack Qingzhou. Lu Qian had to stay in Juancheng to assist in the defense of the forbidden city. He wanted to be reused by Cao Cao after the successful defense of the city.

Yu Jin came to the city after hearing the letter and asked Lu Qian, "Zi Ke, how do you know that Lu Bu is here to persuade you to surrender and not to attack the city?"

Lu Qian said: "The general will know as soon as he asks!"

Yu Jin looked down from the top of the city gate and saw Lv Bu's majesty and his military appearance. He couldn't help but secretly startled. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he shouted loudly: "Lv Bu!! Spy on our city wall, do you want to attack the city?"

Seeing Yu Jin calling him by his name, Lu Bu looked sullen, and shouted, "Yu Jin!! If it wasn't for Nian Zaicheng, which would eventually be the ruler of my Marquis, I have already ordered the army to flatten this city!!"

Yu Jin was terrified, and changed his words: "In that case, what is the purpose of Marquis Wen's coming here?"

Lu Bu persuaded loudly: "Juancheng was besieged for several days, and Linyi was only more than a hundred miles away, but Cao Cao didn't send a single soldier to rescue him. Can't you understand? Why are you still obsessed? If you can Offer the city to surrender, and I will appoint you as the prefect of a county!!"
