Chapter 159 Rhino, see rhino again

Nanxun Gate.

"This thing is still domineering!"

Wang Yue held his giant sword and looked at the royal guards in a chaotic formation in the distance, sighing deeply.

His equipment is fully upgraded at this moment.

The armor has been replaced!

The original triple-layer cold-forged armor has become a set of special armor that costs huge amounts of money. The main body of this set of armor is a pure plate breastplate. Large iron plates are actually not difficult for craftsmen of this era. The only difficulty is how to reduce costs. So as long as you are willing to spend money, you can choose the best ore to smel it with charcoal when smelting iron. After smelting high-quality pig iron, then smelting it out, and finally hot-forging the obtained cooked iron.

Finally carburizing is carried out into steel.

It was not that the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty did not know carburizing, let alone carburizing, they knew a lot of heat treatments.

But why did the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty know how to carburize but would not carburize the hot-forged armor, so that it could be protected from cold-forged armor. Instead, it made Shen Kuo sigh that the armor was so good?

Very simple.

Is a thief army worth a set of carburized armor?

Just have armor!

What kind of bicycle do you want?

All technically ready-made.

However, the cost of making this is another matter.

But Wang Yue doesn't care about the cost.

In the end, he spent a lot of money and gathered a large number of skilled craftsmen from the original work department to create a breastplate with an average thickness of five millimeters and a chest thickness of even seven millimeters.

And with a basin collar.

As for Wang Yue's arms protection, it was similar to the Ming Dynasty's iron arm, using large iron plates up to five millimeters thick. He didn't know whether it was steel, but he was wider and thicker than the original, including his legs. There were also some fragments, such as armpit and throat protection, and then added a top hat helmet, with a fart curtain behind the hat helmet. Of course, this fart curtain was nailed to cowhide, and it could always wrap up half of the head. Finally, there was a face armor with obvious shapes, mostly pretentious elements, with red paint on the face armor, and even more pretentiously made fangs. After being buckled, he only had two eyes left on his body without protection.

Then there is the mount...

"General, can this thing really catch up with the war horse?"

Gao Jie looked at the same exaggerated mount under Wang Yue's crotch with uncertainty.

On the four legs as thick as beams and pillars, there was a plump body as a pig, with colorful patterns on it, and on the raised head in front, there was a long thorn with a shining shining of cold light...

OK, this is a rhino.

General Yang's armor was basically not falling five millimeters thick. Although it did not cover every surface of the body like the European full-body armor, it still covered more than three quarters. The weight of such armor exceeded 120 kilograms, and his weight exceeded 300.

In addition, he also had a modao of more than 70 pounds and a pair of spare maces.

The total weight of the whole set is close to 45.

There is definitely no chance for a war horse. Not to mention a Hequ horse, even an Andalusian horse is useless.

But General Yang certainly couldn't charge in a carriage.

He needs to have a mount!

Then in Yujin Garden, he was surprised to find that there was a lonely rhino. It was said that it was a foreign tribute. It was originally a pair, but one died before, and the name was not a rhino. Some people called it Tianlu, but this name was controversial, so the official name was called a strange beast...

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty did not know what the rhino looked like?

But it is also very likely.

After all, at this time, only Dali was left in the rhino in China. Even if there were still some residues in Guangdong and Guangxi, they had to be in remote places. At least the nobles in the court did not recognize them. However, this was not what Wang Yue cared about. He just needed to know that his mount had. Then, after using violent beating and putting a nose ring on the lonely rhino, the Javan rhino accepted his destiny with a heart of death.

Then he let him do it.

"It runs no slower than a war horse, but its endurance is not as good as a war horse."

Wang Yue patted the rhino's head and said.

The latter shook his head, looking humiliated as if he was angry but not dared to speak out. After being beaten up by Wang Yue and put on a nose ring, it could only do so.

"Beat the drum!"

Wang Yue said immediately.

The war drums were immediately ringing in the carriage next to them.

And the imperial guards standing in front of them were in chaos against Yujin Garden.

This is Li Yan's subordinate.

In fact, there are two generals in the Mansion Realm. These are the main forces of Li Yan's troops, with a total force of only 7,000. As for those newly recruited, they definitely dare not pull them out to fight in the field. He would not have been so stupid. At this time, the attack on Kaifeng City had begun. Fan Zhixu's troops in the west were mainly attacking Kaiyuan Gate, Deng Xunren's troops were mainly attacking Chenqiao Gate, Zhang Shuye attacking Xincao Gate, and Li Yan attacking Nanxun Gate.

But the battle is completely like a rooster pecking at each other.

Those who defended the city were all slags, and those who attacked were also all slags.

Slag versus slag.

The two sides threw stones and shot arrows at each other across more than a hundred meters.

It is completely impossible to expect those imperial guards and newly recruited mobs to charge forward with arrows and stones, let alone fill the trenches. Those who have not yet attacked are approaching the moat and are carrying the ladders for a few steps. Then they see someone falling down by arrows, and the rest immediately throw the ladders and scatter. These imperial guards are all the worst slaughter in the Song Dynasty, including Hebei, Jingdong, East and West, the government and Jingxi, all of them have not experienced wars for more than a hundred years...

It’s not OK to catch the thief!

If they can do it, they will not let Song Jiang's thirty-six brothers run across Heshuo.

These scumbags defended the city very much. In fact, Jingkang later proved that they really couldn't even defend the city. These were the protagonists of the seventeen Jurchen soldiers defeating the two thousand Song troops.

Now they still need to attack the city?

And it was the attack on Kaifeng, which actually caused a headache for the Jurchens later.

Are you getting a mistake?

So Wang Yue boldly led his cavalry out of the city to fight back.

At this moment, Gao Jie's cavalry brigade was all arranged under the city, with 500 cavalrymen in the middle. One of them has not died in battle, but two died of illness. There are still 498 in total. On both sides, there are two other archery and cavalry battalions. Wang Xuan led one battalion, and Cao Cheng, the battalion commander of the other battalion, was a ten general in the original imperial guards. The outsider fled to join the army because of a fight. During the Kaifeng Incident, he joined with a group of good friends. After that, he performed outstandingly and quickly won the favor of Shi Jin and recommended him to Wang Yue to promote him.

The main reason is that this person is good at socializing and is very good at gathering people.

This is Wang Yue's cavalry brigade.

The total force was 1,500, and the tactics were similar to those of Iron Buddha Tu and Guiller Horse. At the time of the battle, the left and right light cavalry attacked, and used the middle cavalry to carry out a decisive blow.

But now there is no need.

"The whole army attacks, there is no need to be so troublesome to this kind of slag!"

Wang Yue said.

Then he raised the sword in his hand.

The flag bearer holding the central army's tooth flag behind him immediately waved the yellow flag, and at the same time, the two cavalrymen on the left and right blew the horns in their hands. Wang Yue poked the rhino with a special spur on his right foot. The latter roared in dissatisfaction and then stepped out his four hooves, and the huge body weighing nearly two tons began to slowly move forward.

Five hundred cavalrymen behind Wang Yue activated their war horses at the same time, and then picked up their spears on the horse's back.

This is the infantry that rushes to form formations.

They must use the longest spear.

However, their speed was not fast. Wang Yue at the front was actually either running or letting the rhino move forward slowly at a normal speed. It was more like scaring than attacking. He held the Mo knife in one hand and kept turning on the rhino's back.

The Modao kept reflecting the sunlight.

Then, in the obviously chaotic archers formations on the left and right wings, as their flags waved, they also moved forward at the same time with the sound of trumpets. However, they were in a mess, and the cavalry on the horses were all holding bows and arrows, and their speed was faster. These cavalrymen with only simple armor quickly exceeded the control speed, as if two spread pliers crashed into the two wings of the infantry formation opposite.

Chaos on the other side intensified.

Although these imperial guards finally completed the array, the Yue family army was not behind the shield wall.

Everyone was trembling.

"Stay, keep it steady!"

Li Yan screamed behind them.

He didn't notice that he was trembling, and he had never seen this. He was not Tong Guan and Tan Zhen who had been to the battlefield. He was just a person who specialized in scraping the ground and collecting taxes. On the opposite side were cavalry advancing like a wall, and light cavalry were opening their bows on the left and right. The core of all this was still a monster riding a monster, which was said to be a monster that came to the world.

Look at the weapon that constantly shines in his hand is obviously a magic weapon!

"We are here to help the king and save the emperor. We will fight and open Nanxun Gate. Everyone will have a reward, and a hundred rewards will be given to you!"

He stammered.

The soldiers in front looked back speechlessly at him...

Then don’t shake first!

At this moment, the cavalry of Cao Cheng's left-wing wing arrived first. Five hundred cavalry swept across the flanks of the infantry formation like a torrent. The cavalry kept firing sharp arrows on the horse's back. The chaotic counterattack here, but the two sides had a distance of more than thirty feet, causing very few casualties.

but……

Li Yan shook even more.

Then the right-wing king's procuratorate arrived, and also flew across the other side of the formation, while the sharp arrows shot out at the same time, causing sporadic losses here, while the crossbow arrows shot out in a mess here also caused very little damage to such a running cavalry.

but……

Li Yan's face was already pale.

At this moment, the front mask-fitting cavalry also became clear in his vision, especially the thief in front, whose giant long sword in his hand radiated cold light, his face was covered with ferocious fangs, and the monster under his crotch had a terrifying horn, his body was covered with various patterns, and even had scales, and his four thick hooves stepped out of the ground and trembled.

Li Yan began to retreat...

Suddenly, the long sword in the thief's hand pointed at this side...

"Kill that Li Yan and eliminate the harm for the people!"

A roar like thunder echoed across the battlefield in an instant.

Then he began to accelerate...

"ah……"

Li Yan's tolerance finally reached its limit. He screamed like crazy, turned his horse's head without hesitation, and ran back and fled. The soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse in the next moment were also screaming and abandoning their weapons, rushing to crowd, running wildly in the same direction...
Chapter completed!
