Chapter 179 Horse Armor and Beast Armor
Do you think Zhang Jiao only deceived the serfs into starting the Yellow Turban Uprising?
Sorry, they even roped in the serious Hu Qiang leader.
Beigong Boyu, leader of the Hu Qiang in Liangzhou, responded to the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Uprising and united with Liangzhou local tyrants to rebel.
This horn can be said to have pioneered an 'uprising' that led to the killing of foreigners within the country's borders, and can be regarded as the ancestor of the traitors.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was truly the greatest 'peasant uprising' in history!
Well, that’s all Zhang Jue, and later generations, who don’t know what it was, actually described Beigong Boyu’s rebellion as a ‘national uprising’.
That’s really awesome. In the Han region of Liangzhou, leading Hu Qiang to kill Han people is actually called an uprising. Why don’t you mention that you also crossed the sea to carry out national uprisings in your childhood?
In short, Zhang Jiao called Shang Beigong Boyu to "revolt". Yes, you read that right.
Beigong Boyu responded to the Yellow Turban rebellion. Huangfu Song destroyed Zhang Jiao, and then led his troops to destroy Beigong Boyu. The Yellow Turbans who were defeated in various places were able to hide and recuperate, which is probably the fundamental reason why many Yellow Turbans can grow in the future.
Unfortunately, He Jin was the captain of Sili when Huangfu Song led his troops to destroy Zhang Jiao. After Zhang Jiao was destroyed, He Jin became the general.
Now it seems that Zhang Wen is going to lead his troops to attack Beigong Boyu again. Obviously, Huangfu Song can't defeat Beigong Boyu, so he will be dismissed from his post and punished, and he must also surrender his military power. He is basically in the cold.
"There is much talk in the court that General Huangfu is afraid of fighting, which has led to the increasing strength of the rebels. No, I will lead the cavalry general to quell the rebellion in the next year. How about it? If Haoxuan intends to make a contribution, I guarantee that you will be at the forefront in every battle."
As expected, Zhang Wen was quite sincere.

"Who is Mr. Zhang leading?" Liu Cang secretly rolled his eyes and asked Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen had both seniority and status, and he was extremely close to Liu Cang when talking to him, but the closeness he and Huangfu Song had towards Liu Cang should be completely different.
"Well, speaking of this, we are all familiar with the general Hao Xuan. I am in charge of Jinwu, Yuan Gong, as my assistant. Dong Zhuo from Xiliang and Sun Jian from Jiangdong are both in the army." Zhang Wen said.
The title "Zhijin Wu Gong Yuan" is a bit strange, but in Zhang Wen's mouth, Gong Yuan should be Cai Yong's wife's uncle, the Yuan family of Chen County, Yuan Pang, who was implicated by Cai Yong and lost his position as Situ earlier.
"Dong Zhongying has been promoted again, right?" Liu Cang curled his lips.
"General Polu, General No. 1." Zhang Wen had a helpless smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't harm someone." Liu Cang shook his head and gave Zhang Wen a blank look this time.
"Oh, we really need Haoxuan's help." Zhang Wen smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, this guy is really good.
When the two of them talked and answered, it was like playing a charade, and the amount of information was really quite large.
Dong Zhuo's attack on the Julu Yellow Turban was equal to his merits and demerits, and there was no reward or punishment. As a result, Huangfu Song fought against Liang Liang again. Regardless of whether he was a general or not, Dong Zhuo was reused.
Look at the individuals under Zhang Wen. Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, probably many northern officials in the DPRK wanted to turn him into a dead tiger.
How old is Yuan Pang, who is in charge of the Jin Dynasty? To be honest, Liu Cang seems to want to call people uncle. What does this deputy general do?
It is strange that Zhijinwu left Beijing to put down the rebellion. General He probably wanted to replace Zhijinwu.
If nothing else happens, General Zhang Wen will suffer further losses. Unless General He Jin is killed, anyone else except Dong Zhuo who leads the rebellion in Liangzhou will be in trouble.
He Jin wanted to cultivate direct descendants in the army, but also to cultivate direct descendants who led the army outside. After seeing Huangfu Song's situation, Zhang Wen obviously understood his own situation.
Liu Cang was good at fighting, and Zhang Wen wanted to serve him as a general. Similarly, Zhang Wen probably wanted Zhang Rang to go to Liu Hong and put more pressure on He Jin for the sake of Liu Cang, so that He Jin could be defeated.
Jin doesn't have that much time to dig a hole for him.
Liu Cang made it clear that he couldn't handle this thing.
Zhang Wen also put it bluntly, think of a way.
It is said that in Ruolu Forge, there was a Shanglin Yuanling who had not yet reached the crown, and a big man Sikong who was over fifty years old and was preparing to lead the army. The two looked at each other in the street and smiled bitterly.
If you can't stand it, you can't stand it. Liu Cang doesn't know what Zhang Wen is capable of, but he knows what he is capable of.
He Jinche is in charge of the military, and no one in the army can guarantee that something will happen. After all, he only has two to three hundred combatable soldiers, and it would be too few to go to Liangzhou to become horse bandits.
After the pleasantries were over, Zhang Wen didn't dare to mess around even if he couldn't invite Liu Cang. He Jin was troublesome. The uncle behind Liu Cang was not an economical lamp either.
The two said goodbye, and Liu Cang came to the door of the saddlery workshop without entering. He shouted in from the street.
"Ai Laowu, has the beast armor I asked for been made?"
As Liu Cang shouted, someone in the workshop shouted, and for a moment, a lean man followed by several young men who were carrying the stomach appeared in front of Liu Cang.
"Okay, it's been done a long time ago. If His Highness doesn't come again, I'm still thinking of asking the senior officials to look for you." The man in charge said as he walked away.
The middle-aged man limped one leg and walked up to Liu Cang. He was not afraid of orichalcum and wanted to reach out and touch orichalcum. His teeth were bared. Then the man walked towards Xi Feng, patted Xi Feng and asked him to carry the horse armor.
The apprentice stepped forward.
The soft leather horse armor is draped over Xi Feng's body. The face curtain, chicken neck, chest, head, face and neck are all covered. The horse's body is draped, and there is a gap in the middle of the riding position. The buckle can be used to install and remove the saddle.
The leather armor is double-layered, with a single layer of hard leather armor embedded on the outside, and metal leg guards that do not affect the movement of the wind. It is not a heavy-duty riding armor, but can only be regarded as a regular horse equipment for charging into battle.
Xi Feng, who was wearing the horse armor, immediately looked very majestic. A man named Ai Laowu pulled the horse armor and adjusted the tightness. Then he patted Xi Feng's body everywhere. Seeing that Xi Feng didn't react with irritation, he looked towards
Liu Cang.
"Is Your Highness still satisfied?" Ai Laowu asked.
"Well, that's good. How much does it affect the horse's horsepower?" Liu Cang asked.
"Without a saddle, the full armor only weighs fifteen kilograms. If you replace it with a single skin, you can lose another five kilograms. Ordinary war horses lose some horsepower. If you have a good horse, feed it more refined food, and it will have no effect after two years of adaptation."
Lao Wu Dao.
"How long does it take to prepare two thousand copies?" Liu Cang nodded, and Ai Laowu was slightly stunned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Highness, this cavalry armor can only be used in two pairs. If you have less than a hundred pairs, you need the approval of the young master, and if you have more than five hundred, you need your majesty's handwriting." Ai Laowu was careful.
road.
"I'll ask about the time." Liu Cang waved his hand. The horse armor was strictly controlled and extremely conspicuous, so it was naturally impossible for Liu Cang to mess around.
"We have three hundred skilled craftsmen in our workshop, and we are working hard to make it. I'm afraid it will take more than a year. A fifty-pound armor requires the cooperation of an armor-making workshop. If there are enough pieces of mail armor, three pairs of one hundred pounds can be produced in a day.
Heavy armor would be troublesome, it would be difficult to produce hundreds of pairs in a year."
There are three types of horse armor: charging cavalry armor, trapping armor, and heavy cavalry armor.
Ai Laowu spoke in detail, and Liu Cang had an estimate in his mind. As for the price, he didn't ask. This thing is practical, but the price is too high. For the time being, he can't buy it even if he has money. Liu Hong asked him to buy it, and rushed
He probably couldn't even afford a few pairs of riding armor.
After putting on the horse armor, under Liu Cang's care, Ai Laowu asked his apprentice to put on a pair of tailor-made bear armor for Orichalcum.
Earlier, Liu Cang specially brought the orichalcum to Ai Laowu to measure the size. He wore an armor inlaid with armor plates to closely protect the vital parts of the body.
In terms of material prices alone, this body of orichalcum is much more expensive than Nessing Wind's horse armor. With a thorn ring on the neck, hooked face armor, including front paw claw sheaths, and an iron armor upper body, the danger index of orichalcum has skyrocketed.
Bears are powerful, but their attack methods are monotonous.
This thing was designed by Ai Laowu, and the joints are cleverly designed. Killing on the ground has almost no impact on the flexibility of orichalcum. After the orichalcum was put on, Ai Laowu's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
"Your Highness, it's better not to wear armor for this bear. If it goes wild, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble." Watching Orichalcum shake his body impatiently, Ai Laowu asked his apprentice to retreat, and said to Liu Cang
Advise.
Liu Cang also directly offended Digu when he called for orichalcum Ansheng.
This set of bear armor seems to be a bit harsh indeed, and needs to be simplified. Otherwise, if he can't suppress the bear beast, he wouldn't dare to wear this thing on other bears casually. It's hard to kill even if it's a personality.
The orichalcum armor was Ai Laowu's hobby. Later, heroes and Da Ya were given simpler leather armors. Unlike orichalcum armor, even if the dogs only protected the vital parts of their heads and abdomen, it would have a considerable impact on their movements.
.
According to Ai Laowu, if you want to make armor for animals such as dogs, tigers and leopards, you should not find a blacksmith. Perhaps a craftsman who is good at mechanisms is more suitable.
After fishing for a few pieces of animal armor, which were free of charge, Ai Laowu asked Ai Laowu to go back and wait to receive the reward, while Liu Cang prepared to go to Ruolu Ling to receive the garrison equipment.
After riding on Xi Feng and touching the horse armor on Xi Feng, Liu Cang asked Ai Laowu again.
"Is there any cavalry armor stored in the warehouse?"
Well, there must always be some ideals in life.
