Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Li Yuanying would never believe that in a small Yongzhou, the local gentry actually developed into a fanged beast.

Can you believe it?

Yongzhou has 10,000 troops, and all of them are equipped with armor?

Although the armor is crudely made, it is still armor after all.

"What do they want to do by relying on the army?" Li Yuanying said gloomily.

He ordered people to transport the Mingguang armor to the front line and let the soldiers wear it.

"Tang Liudian" Volume 16 records: "There are thirteen types of armor: one is Mingguang armor, two is Guangyao armor, three is Xilin armor, four is Shanwen armor, five is Niaozhu armor, six is ​​Baibu armor, seven is Fujuan armor, eight is Bubei armor, nine is Infantry armor, ten is leather armor, eleven is wooden armor, twelfth is chain mail armor, and thirteenth is horse armor."

Later generations collectively called it the Thirteen Armors of the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the Mingguang armor is the most famous.

Ming Guang armor can be said to be the standard of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, not all soldiers are qualified to wear Ming Guang armor.

Usually, officers of a certain level and elite cavalry wear the full version of Ming Guang armor, and ordinary soldiers can only wear the youth version, which simplifies many parts.

It is mentioned above that there are only 20,000 Xuanjia troops in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, these 20,000 Xuanjia troops refer to a certain type of soldiers, similar to the existence of special forces.

Under normal circumstances, the Tang army will wear lighter paper armor, which is armor made of cardboard.

Or leather armor.

Li Yuanying observed that although the rebels in Yongzhou also wore armor, their production process was very simple. Rather than heavy armor, it is better to say that it is body armor.

Only in key parts, such as the upper body, wrists and ankles, there are iron sheets to cover for protection.

It is not at the same level as the Ming Guang armor of the orthodox army of the Tang Dynasty, and the protective ability is also very different.

It is just like the huge difference between mythical equipment and blue and white equipment.

The rebels in Yongzhou are good at dealing with ordinary people, but what about the fully armed regular army?

Li Yuanying, wearing the complete version of Ming Guang armor, waved his hand, and more than a thousand Ming Guang armor soldiers shouted and rushed out with Mo Dao in their hands.

Li Yuanying stood on the mountain and looked at the battlefield below. He sighed: "It's so boring. I thought I could meet a strong opponent."

Gan Chao: "..."

The equipment of this batch of Hongzhou troops was borrowed from the Jiannan Governor's Office, but it can't be said to be borrowed.

With only the two thousand soldiers in Hongzhou, Li Zhi was worried that something might happen, so he ordered the Grand Governor of Yizhou to send troops to help.

The first aid was the top equipment, Mo Dao, and bows and arrows, which were first sent to the vicinity of Yongzhou by water, and then the three thousand Jiannan troops and the two thousand Hongzhou troops led by Li Yuanying joined forces to form a five thousand-man army.

Otherwise, why do you think it took a month to arrive?

If it weren't for the long distance and the tight time, the catapults and siege vehicles would have been transported to you.

More than a thousand Hongzhou soldiers rushed into the enemy army, just like cutting melons and vegetables, with a knife in hand, one by one.

Cool! It's so cool!

I haven't fought such a rich battle for a long time.

One thousand regular troops against ten thousand miscellaneous troops, if it weren't for the limited physical strength, they could really kill them all.

The 2.5-meter-long Mo Dao stabbed forward and directly broke a hole in the rebel's crudely made armor.

Then, like a string of candied haws, one knife cut several.

The Wen and Yu families realized this time that they were too naive before.

They thought that they could resist the Tang regular army with the armor they made, and even destroy the Tang army.

Now it seems that they are dreaming.

How to fight? They have blunted the Tang horizontal sword, leaving only scratches on the Ming Guang armor.

Break armor? Dream on.

Even the swords of later generations cannot break the absolute defense of the Mingguang armor, how can they do it alone?

However, the Wen and Yu families are not convinced. They have been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for a hundred years just for today.

In the end, you tell me that they lost so thoroughly?

To be honest, they really have very little information and have no idea that the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty has developed to such a strong level.

This is the Tang Dynasty National Army, the Dugu Qiubai who had no rivals in the world at that time!

Li Yuanying felt that he had nothing to do. He didn't need to command, and only needed the regular army to take turns to fight the enemy.

The enemy was simply vulnerable.

Boring...

"By the way, Song Lang!" Li Yuanying slapped his helmet fiercely, and he suddenly remembered the most important task of this trip.

It was to rescue Song Zhen and protect his safety.

As for the redress, I can only say, put it aside for now.

He randomly grabbed a lucky person, put his sword on the other's neck, and asked coldly.

"Where is Song Zhen?"

"I, I don't know, I don't know what Song is..."

Li Yuanying slashed his neck with a knife.

Next.I don't believe that no one knows. Don't talk nonsense to me, saying that only the boss knows this nonsense.

If your answer does not satisfy me, I will execute you immediately.

My rules are rules here!

Finally, after he killed hundreds of people, he found out that the Wen and Yu families still had a group of troops in Shunhuang Mountain.

The surrendered soldier begged for mercy with a flattering expression: "General, can I leave?"

Li Yuanying said jokingly: "Did I tell you to leave?"

"?" The surrendered soldier's expression froze.

"Rebels, kill without mercy! No one will be spared!"

Li Yuanying led the remaining 1,000 Hongzhou soldiers wearing Mingguang armor to Shunhuang Mountain on horseback. The 1,000 Hongzhou soldiers who had just charged into battle and killed the enemy had retreated to rest on the spot.

The rest will be handed over to the comrades of Jiannan Road.

You 3,000 people are luxuriously equipped, don't tell me that you can't beat a small 10,000 rebel army.

......

On the other side, Shunhuang Mountain.

Wen Youliang was stationed on the mountainside. He swore that he would not return until Tang Shuyu was captured!

Because her father Tang Huaili had stolen the contact list of the Wen and Yu families at some point.

This was an important secret. If someone got it, it would not only be the Wen and Yu families that would suffer.

I am afraid that one-tenth of the noble families in the entire Tang Dynasty would have to be exterminated.

After all, he also knew that rebellion was a dead end.

But he was already on the road, and the only thing he could do was to grit his teeth and move forward.

"Come fifty people, follow me up the mountain to search." Wen Youliang ordered his men with a cold face.

He could not wait any longer, he was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be many.

The main force had already gone to the outside of the city to fight, leaving Wen Youliang with only fifty people.

The fifty rebels acted in batches and conducted carpet searches in different directions.

The first to be discovered were the scouts.

They were executed on the spot without mercy.

Blood mixed with rain gradually flowed down the rocks of Shunhuang Mountain.

There was still heavy rain in the sky, and there was a tragic atmosphere.

"Uncle Tang, the fourth son..."

Tang Gaoyi trembled, and he had a premonition that his youngest son was in danger.

He held back his tears and shouted loudly, pretending not to care.

"Don't worry about me! Keep throwing stones down the mountain!"

"Don't let them go up the mountain!"

"Did you hear me!"

Everyone heard the last cry.

......
