Chapter 144 This east wind is not that east wind

As for how Li Yuan distributed and seized gold, Chen Ying was not worried. It seemed that the war in the Tang army's conquest of Zheng State had nothing to do with Chen Ying, the right deputy general. Chen Ying's greatest pleasure every day was to train the soldiers of the Modao Army under his command. As the saying goes, practice in the winter and practice in the summer.

Although it was already past three nine, the weather outside turned into ice, which was an excellent time for training troops.

Unfortunately, the Modao was still not enough. The Modao and Gao Menggang Mingguang armor transported from Chang'an were only more than 1,300 handles. Chen Ying waved his hand and the Modao soldiers were divided into two waves for training. Half of the personnel did not wear armor, did not hold Modao, and carried wooden stakes weighing more than two hundred pounds long and weighing 2,200 kilograms to practice endurance.

The other half were wearing bright light armor, holding Mo Dao and following the orders, stepping on the drum beats, and advancing like a wall. As the training continued, the cooperation of the Mo Dao soldiers became increasingly close.

The training of the soldiers of the Modao Army is actually just a few moves, which are heavy chops from top to bottom, slashing from right to left, slashing from bottom to top, and slashing from left to right.

However, it is undeniable that although the sword technique of Mo Daojun is simple, it is simple and ruthless. It is done in one go, without any tricks, simple and practical. If Mo Dao's hand swept and slashed like this on the battlefield, it would probably have been corpses all over the world.

"Woo woo..." Every time before dawn, Chen Ying, who was overly energetic, would blew a thick and desolate battle horn. Mo Dao Hand, long soldiers, short soldiers, shooting, hook and sickle spear, and other troops would get up in a hurry like burning their butts, and use the biting cold water to drive away the sleepiness in their heads.

No one can do anything. Chen Ying is late and does not beat or scold others. The key is that Chen Ying is hungry.

As long as one incense stick, you cannot complete the fully armed gathering. I'm sorry, I won't ask for breakfast. If you can't eat with such intense training, it's a fatal matter. Chen Ying has no mercy to say, he won't give him food when he is late, and he won't give him food if he doesn't meet the training results. After the soldiers of the army completed the gathering, they did not give him any advice or boost morale. They first warmed up a five-kilometer fully armed off-road warm-up.

The five-kilometer off-roading is completed, and breakfast is started. Of course, the time is only one quarter of an hour and two incense sticks. The time for later generations is only about twenty minutes. Soldiers who have not completed the off-road warm-up are sorry, so they don’t have to eat breakfast, so they can eat it together at noon.

Guo Luo came to Chen Ying, the new Lord, and felt very curious. Especially Chen Ying's wealth and awesomeness gave Guo Luo a new understanding of Chen Ying.

On the first day he became the deputy commander of the Tiger, the quarantine officer sent him a pair of Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel. Of course, the Mingguang armor equipped by generals is of two completely different scales from the Mingguang armor of the Modao Army. The Mingguang armor of the Modao Army weighs 35 kilograms, and it can be exempted from shooting of bows and arrows other than bed crossbows at mid-to-middle distance. Even if it is a three-stone bow and arrow, if you don’t use a special armor-breaking cone, you don’t have to worry about being hurt at all. However, the Mingguang armor of ordinary infantry weighs only fifteen kilograms.

Armors and tanks are actually the same. The heavier the weight, the higher the defense. The fifteen-pound high-manganese steel bright light armor cannot ignore bows and arrows like the bright light armor of the Modaojun, but there is no need to worry about bows and arrows less than one stone. It means that you are powerless to have a three-stone heavy crossbow and a strong bow with more than three stones.

However, there is no need to worry about this. The three stone bow and arrow pull requires 360 kilograms. Generally speaking, unless it is a talented player with great strength, there is no way to do anything about it. Not to mention that there is only fifteen kilograms of bright light armor, and the horizontal knife cuts it on it, there is only one scratch.

This can be called an invulnerable armor. Guo Luo was inexplicably moved when he got this armor, but he found that almost all the soldiers of the army were equipped with this kind of armor. Guo Luo had to say that Chen Yingcai was generous and arrogant.

Of course, Chen Yingcai was not just that. No matter who had a sword, he could not regard it as a treasure? But Chen Ying was better. Not only did the entire army have a hand, but even the civilians who followed the army also issued a steel axe weighing fifteen kilograms.

In Chen Ying's eyes, the steel axe, which is a powerful weapon, is just a piece of food that can barely chop firewood. In fact, the civilians use these mountain-opening axes to build barracks, cave house cars, siege ladder cars, nest cars, arrow tower cars and various siege equipment.

In addition to equipment, the Tang soldiers also ate very well. Three meals in the morning, middle and evening. In this era, three meals were a special treatment for the children of the aristocratic clans. Chen Ying not only gave the soldiers of the army three meals, but also had a very rich meal. The breakfast not only included steamed buns, rice, and sorghum rice, but also had no limit. It was absolutely enough to eat three bowls.

In addition to enough rice, there are also vegetables. Of course, vegetables are not a good dish, mainly stewed with tofu, bean sprouts, or radish. The steamed buns are ground into fine wheat, and all the thick wheat bran is left to the Zhanma as the essence, while the fine noodles are used to steam steamed buns, half a pound of steamed buns, and a large bowl of bean sprout soup, and you will basically be full.

The lunch was even more abundant, with three finger-wide soup cakes (both noodles), soup and dry, which was very hungry. Guo Luo didn't know how much food Chen Ying had. Anyway, the soldiers of the army ate it every day, but the food was continuously transported from Chang'an City or Tongguan.

Although the taste of the food is not very good and the oil and water is not enough, no one dares to say anything strange. What kind of world is this? Even if the landlords with hundreds or thousands of acres of land at home, they cannot guarantee that they will eat rice and white flour every meal. All the soldiers will eat voraciously. What the soldiers like most is to wipe the dishes clean with half a steamed bun, even saving them from brushing them.

Guo Luo knew a little bit about the calculation. He knew that there were more than 26,000 people in the entire army and civilians, and they had to eat 800 stones of grain in a day, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but Chen Ying had no sign of shortage of supplies at all.

Guo Luo naturally didn't know that Chen Ying's material supply actually had three aspects. Part of them was the more than two stone grain he carried when he set out from Chang'an. In fact, it was the food and food he exchanged for from Li Shentong with his armor.

At this time, Li Shentong also became a second-hand dealer. Chen Ying's heavy armor, which he regarded as scrap steel, was a good treasure in Li Shentong's eyes. In fact, aristocratic families all have their own private soldiers. Of course, the number of people is small, and Li Yuan can pretend not to see it. If there are too many people, it means you want to be disobedient.

Therefore, while reducing the number of private soldiers, these aristocratic families have been increasing the equipment of private soldiers. Unfortunately, the aristocratic families do not have the advanced technology of Chen Ying. They built a pair of armor themselves, which is not as good as the heavy armor in Chen Ying's hands. Because the small workshop is manufactured, the cost is almost as high as more than 200 guan, and the aristocratic families cannot withstand such high prices. However, the heavy armor sold by Chen Ying was only a few dozen guan, which is nothing different.

So, Chen Ying was under the Hangu Pass City, and the aristocratic families brought their sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks or cloth to trade with Chen Ying.

At this time, Chen Ying had less than a thousand sets of heavy armor in his hand, but what he received was his baggage camp, and all kinds of baggage were piled up like mountains.

Chen Ying asked the troops to take turns to carry out offensive and defensive drills at the lower city of Hangu Pass every day, and actually achieved unexpected results.

The dense and neat Tang soldiers pushed the ladder truck and the nest chariot attacked the city wall, which scared Wang Renze. Wang Renze was as if he was facing a great enemy, asking all the soldiers to prepare for battle, but when there was still an arrow from Hangu Pass City, he took the initiative to retreat.

But Wang Renze had to think about when Chen Ying would turn virtual into real. So he had to focus on the city wall himself and guard against the enemy with his troops.

Chen Ying said, if you are willing to wait, just stay there. He has to hold three or five attacks every day, and without exception, he will leave with one touch without any delay. The time is short, Wang Renze and his soldiers can still hold on, but after seven or eight days, let alone ordinary soldiers, even Wang Renze is almost tortured by Chen Ying.

Wang Renze was lying on the bed that night, and before he could fall asleep, the sound of war drums outside the city suddenly sounded loudly. Wang Renze did not sleep well. He listened to the sound of war drums, but quickly closed his eyes. He roared in a stern voice: "This goddam Chen Ying, this is another set..."

But Wang Renze deserved to be slapped in the face. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the guards shouting urgently outside the door: "Report to the general, the Tang army has siege!"

At this time, half of the sky in the west had been illuminated, as if it was burning the sky. Seeing this scene, Wang Renze naturally knew that this must be the torch in the hands of the Tang army soldiers. As the saying goes, everyone was lit with firewood, and more than 20,000 torches were ignited at the same time. This was like a fire broke out in the mountain wood.

Wang Renze had no choice but to wear armor and quickly climb the west wall of Hangu Pass.

But when we arrived at the West City Wall, the Tang army had already retreated like a tide.

What was left to Wang Renze were the backs of countless Tang army soldiers, mottled blood on the city walls and hundreds of incomplete corpses.

Wang Renze shouted at the night sky and said in a stern manner: "Chan Yinger, don't leave, everyone will fight to the death!"

However, Wang Renze was destined to waste his energy. Just when Wang Shichong had just gotten up, Chen Ying had already returned to the big tent, lay on the big soft bed, and slept soundly.

Wang Renze had no choice but to leave some people and continue to sleep.

Late at night, Chen Ying got up as usual, and then ordered people to blow the thick and desolate battle trumpet. As the sob battle trumpet rang out throughout the sky, the Modao Army and the Yue Cavalry Army followed the order and quickly got up and gathered.

Shan Xiongxin, who had a purple-gold tiger-head mask on his face, asked very strangely: "If the general talks about the enemy's plan, it's almost done now, why don't he attack?"

Chen Ying looked at Hanguguan who was crawling in the night sky like an ancient giant beast and said, "I'm waiting!"

Shan Xiongxin said in confusion: "What are the Lord waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for the east wind!"

Instead of not understanding it, Shan Xiongxin became even more confused: "Dongfeng? Just the weather in front of him, it is estimated that the east wind will not come in three to five months."
