The brochure clearly describes a type of heavy cavalry. It can be seen from the drawing that the cavalry in the picture wears a kind of heavy armor. Both men and horses have armor. The knight on the horse is tightly wrapped in armor.
What he held in his hand was a long gun.
The shape of the armor is extremely weird. It is different from the blade-shaped armor of ordinary armor. It is not just a half-armor that protects the chest and back for flexibility in combat, but a full-body armor that covers the whole body. The armor is in the shape of a willow leaf.
The hoop is wrapped from the waist to the neck, like a cone-shaped cylinder with a larger bottom and a smaller top. The cavalry wears a kind of long riding boots. The pattern painted on the riding boots shows that they should also be a kind of protective leg.
Put on armor.
Looking at the cavalry helmet, it is a wide-brimmed iron hood. The so-called hood is actually a pot-shaped helmet. Without the brim, it looks like an iron pot turned upside down on the head. With the wide rim, it looks like a bamboo hat, but
It can effectively protect the head and face. The cavalry in the picture also wears a fang mask on the face, which shows that the protection of the head and face of the heavy cavalry is comprehensive. This is completely understandable, because when the whole body is tightly protected, the face will
This is the only weak point. Once the protection of the head and face is in place, there will be no blind spots from head to toe.
The same goes for people, and so does the horse. The horse has a mask on its head, armor on its shoulders and neck, and the horse's belly is obviously armor hanging down from the saddle on both sides. Except for the horse's butt, almost all of it is protected. Since it is a cavalry,
They all charge forward and rarely turn their horses' butts towards the enemy, so it is understandable that there is no armor coverage here.
According to the proportion, the length of the spear carried by the person is probably two feet. The tip of the spear is three-pointed, and there is a barb-shaped scimitar on the back of the tip. It seems to be a combination of a three-pointed two-edged spear and a hook-and-scythe spear.
The long spear can be used to accumulate stabs. Even if the stabs fail to be retrieved, the enemy can be hooked with the barbed scimitar to cut the opponent's body or decapitate him.
The last picture in the booklet is a false picture of the battlefield. A large group of black heavy cavalry breaks through an infantry formation with spears like a tide. All arrows and weapons cannot damage it at all. Under the iron hoof, the opponent's soldiers are invincible.
Wails, blood is splattering, and the formation is collapsing. Even though it is just a picture, it seems that people can already feel the overwhelming and unstoppable charge of this heavy cavalry.
Wanyan Aguda was excited because when he saw such a cavalry unit, it coincided with his idea of establishing a powerful unit. What he was worried about was that his army lacked a winning weapon that could stabilize its morale.
Previously, he could only use himself and the Mace Cavalry Guards Battalion, which had expanded to 5,000 people, as the final weapon to win. But obviously, the Mace Cavalry Guards Battalion did have extremely strong impact, but it was only suitable for rebels.
Killing the enemy in hand-to-hand combat is far-fetched. However, it is far-fetched to use it as a trump card to defeat the enemy. Five thousand mace cavalry are no different from ordinary cavalry when charging. No matter how ferocious they are, they will still suffer a blow on the way.
, if you can't rush into the opponent's formation alive, everything will still be in vain. But the type of troops drawn in the album can obviously be used as a heavy hammer to break through the enemy's formation. Although Wanyan Aguda did not take revenge on Li Guoda
It's a half-question, but experts don't need to ask any more. Just seeing this kind of unit, they know it is a big killer.
However, there are many doubts in this. It is one thing to draw it on a picture and exist in imagination, but whether it can be realized in reality is another matter. This requires Li Guoqiu to give a reasonable explanation.
, this is the point.
"Okay, this kind of cavalry is indeed good. But...brother, I admire your idea very much, but I still have many questions that require your explanation." Wanyan Agu said.
Li Guoqiu put his hands behind his hands and smiled and said: "I know, the chief can just ask and I will answer them one by one in the next step."
Wanyan Aguda already had a good impression of Li Guoqiu, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, please have a seat. Come and serve tea."
Li Guoqiu waved his hand and said: "No, it's easy to sit down and drink tea. It won't look good to be kicked out after a while. I just stand here. If I can't satisfy the leader Wanyan, I'll just leave."
I don’t owe the chief a bowl of tea.”
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and nodded: "Interesting, interesting, courageous, and courageous. Okay, I'll do whatever you want. I'm going to ask."
Li Guoqiu said: "Please!"
Wanyan Agu's big eyes sparkled with light, and he said coldly: "Let me ask you, what are you going to make of the heavy armor and horse armor and spear you draw on this picture?"
Li Guoqiu said in a deep voice: "They are all made of fine iron."
Wanyan Aguda said with a look of disdain on his face: "Is it fine iron? Then Mr. Li, does he know how much such a set of things weighs when he is wearing it and holding it in his hand?"
Li Guoqiu said: "Of course I know. The total weight of the heavy armor is sixty kilograms, the spear weighs thirty kilograms, and the weight of the boots and leg armor is about one hundred and ten kilograms. As for the horse armor..."
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and interrupted him: "It weighs one hundred and ten kilograms. Who do you think can fight with a weight of one hundred and ten kilograms? Are you kidding me?"
Li Guoqiu laughed and said: "If Chief Wanyan's subordinates can't find soldiers who can't bear more than a hundred kilograms of armor, just pretend that I don't say anything. Ordinary adults can bear a hundred kilograms of armor and walk as fast as flying.
Those with strong strength can carry two to three hundred kilograms. All you need to do is carefully select those who are strong and strong. To be honest, even I can wear such armor without being crushed."
Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "What you say is unbelievable."
Li Guoqiu said coldly: "Does Chief Wanyan think what I say is child's play? Before leaving the mountain this time, everyone in the family had forged and tested the heavy armored cavalry. I tried it myself.
Otherwise, how dare you talk nonsense. In fact, Chief Wanyan has no need to doubt the feasibility of this heavy armored cavalry, because we have already tested it, otherwise I would not dare to propose this strategy in front of the Chief."
Wanyan Aguda originally had many questions. For example, with such heavy armor on his body, plus the weight of horse armor and other items, the weight of a war horse may reach three to four hundred kilograms. Naturally, a war horse can carry four to five hundred kilograms without
It will be crushed, but it won't be able to bear it for a long time, and it will be exhausted to death. It would be embarrassing if the horse fell down due to fatigue during the battle.
However, Li Guochou's tone seems to be a little dissatisfied. This person came here specially to offer this heavy cavalry strategy, and it seems that some of the shortcomings have been solved before. If I ask more questions at this moment, it will arouse the other party's dissatisfaction.
Thinking that I have no vision. In this case, it is better to hide your cowardice than to show your cowardice. Since this person is so confident, why not let him create a set, then discuss the pros and cons, and then see the clues.
Wanyan Aguda has always been a practical person, and he doesn't like empty talk. So he suggested: "Let's do this, sir, stay in our army for a few days, and I will allocate manpower and materials to you, and build a set of armor and weapons."
Once we come out, everything will be clear. To be honest, I am very interested in this kind of heavy cavalry. If it is really possible, I will worship you as a military advisor and ask you to help me complete this great cause."
Li Guoqiu nodded and said: "Okay, then I will stay for a few days. Seeing is believing. After three days, the big leader will see the real thing."
Li Guoqiu stayed behind, and Wanyan Agu gave orders to go down and give Li Guoqiu whatever he asked for, manpower to manpower, and materials to materials. In short, everything was done according to his requirements. Li Guoqiu didn't waste any time.
On the same day, they began to dispatch manpower to start making armor.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the evening of the third day, Wanyan Aguda came to the workshop where the armor was made to check the results. Li Guoqiu led Wanyan Aguda to the warehouse where the armor was placed. As soon as he entered the door,
Wanyan Agu saw the heavy armor placed on the armor stand. The armor was extraordinary at first glance. It had not yet been worn on a person. Just looking at the empty armor and helmet, he felt a sense of urgency.
There was a sense of oppression. The willow leaf armor plates on the entire suit of armor were arranged layer by layer, glowing with a faint blue light.
"Big boss, I would like to invite the big boss to try the armor. Only after the big boss wears it himself can he better understand the pros and cons of this armor. I wonder if the big boss is willing." Li Guoqiu sent out the invitation.
Wanyan Aguda laughed and nodded in agreement, then stepped forward to take off his armor. Two soldiers came forward to help Wanyan Aguda put on the heavy armor. With the help of the soldiers, Wanyan Aguda put on the full outfit.
, the moment the fang mask was put on the face, the surrounding Jurchen generals and soldiers all let out gasps of horror. Wanyan Agu was already tall and burly, but after wearing this set of heavy armor, his whole body became...
He stood like an iron tower in front of everyone. Except for the two eyes exposed on the mask and the hands holding the spear, there was nothing exposed on his body. He just stood there, making everyone around him feel
There was such a strong sense of pressure that no one even dared to look directly into his eyes behind the fanged mask.
This was not its final form yet. A tall horse wearing an iron mask and heavy armor was led into the yard. Li Guoqiu cupped his hands and said, "Please mount the horse, chief!"
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and stepped out of the warehouse towards the war horse. His heavy footsteps made a rumble on the ground, and the ground shook as he walked. The moment Wanyan Agu stepped on the horse, one person and one person
The horse was as tall and mighty as a divine soldier descending from heaven, and was intimidating. The Jurchen soldiers could not help but cheer loudly.
Wanyan Aguda did not feel particularly uncomfortable. Of course, this was also related to his strong physique. The heavy helmet weighing more than a hundred kilograms was naturally nothing to him. Wanyan Aguda danced his spear and made several stabbing and sweeping movements.
, and at the same time pay special attention to whether the armor worn on the body is too much an obstacle to combat. After all, the heavy armor on the body will slightly hinder the rotation of the arms and waist, but this obstacle is far from being as bad as I imagined. The shoulder armor and
The part where the body armor is connected makes a clicking sound, but it can rotate freely. Because the connection between the arm part and the body armor is connected through the gourd mouth, it can rotate like a joint but can never fall off. Just this
The details show the craftsmanship.
Wanyan Aguda was so happy that he couldn't help but spur his horse into a trot. The horse seemed to be able to withstand the weight of the heavy armor and had steady steps. However, Wanyan Aguda understood that he could only trot and could not gallop. But this was not a pity.
Because the advantage of this type of heavy armored cavalry is not the rapid charge of the light cavalry, but the crushing attack that ignores everything.
"Big boss, how do you feel?" Li Guochou asked with his hands behind his hands and his head raised.
Wanyan Agudale stood still and pointed tall and pointed: "Okay, I didn't expect that you actually built it in three days. I am very satisfied."
Li Guoqiu smiled and said: "Not to mention satisfied, Chief, I haven't tested the strength of this armor yet. How can I say that I am satisfied? Chief, please take off the armor and let me test it."
Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After saying that, he urged his horse to the horse-mounting stone and was about to turn over and dismount. But he suddenly stopped again.
"Brother, let me ask, how to test the strength of armor?"
Li Guoqiu cupped his hands and said: "Of course we need to put the armor on the armor stand to test the effect of shooting with a strong bow, chopping with swords, axes and spears. If it can't withstand arrows and swords, isn't it a silver-like pewter spear?
If it looks good but doesn't work, then it's also a failure."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said, "As I thought, brother, do you have confidence in the strength of this armor?"
Li Guoqiu said: "Of course, the reason why heavy armor is heavy armor is to enhance the protective effect. The thickness of this armor is twice as thick as that of ordinary armor, and it is more dense. Naturally, there are
Absolute confidence."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said: "Okay, since you are confident, I don't have to take it off. If you want to test it, you have to test it with a real person. I will wear this armor. You can test it however you want. What do you think?"
Everyone around was shocked when they heard this, and a group of generals hurriedly shouted: "No, how can the leader be in danger?"
Li Guoqiu also looked hesitant, frowning and saying nothing.
Wanyan Agu stared at Li Guoqiu and said with a smile: "What? So you don't have confidence? If this heavy armored cavalry can't withstand the slashing of bows, arrows and swords, what's the use of it?"
Li Guoqiu laughed and said: "It's not that I don't have confidence, I just think there is no need for Chief Wanyan to do this. If we want to test it with a real person wearing armor, we have to change it."
Wanyan Aguda shook his head and said: "What are you talking about? Aren't the lives of my brothers life? I, Wanyan Aguda, want them to wear this kind of heavy armor to charge into battle. If the armor can't protect them, isn't it all in vain?
Death. So I personally tested the performance of their armor for them, just to take this risk first. If I am fine, they will be fine too. We, the Jurchen clan, are all brothers regardless of top or bottom, and the life of my brother is my own life. Do you understand?"
When these words were said, people were moved to tears. Li Guochou nodded secretly in his heart, what does it mean to win over people's hearts? This is called buying people's hearts. Wanyan Agu is worthy of being a hero of the world. He can develop from thousands of Jurchen cavalry.
The power he has today is not only due to his bravery and fearlessness, but also the means of buying people's hearts and minds who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him. He knows in his heart that there will be no problem with the protective ability of this armor, so
So he deliberately wanted to test it himself. The Jurchen soldiers would be so moved by his actions that they wanted to give him their hearts. They would think that Wanyan Aguda truly regarded them as brothers and would take risks for them.
"Okay! You are worthy of being a great hero. He is courageous and loyal. This world does not belong to the great leader, and the laws of nature cannot tolerate it. In this case, please ask the great leader to put on the armor, and the test will begin immediately." Li Guoqiu cheered loudly, I took the opportunity to perform a great performance with Wanyan Agu.
"Hey, hey, you guy, how can you agree? If the leader of my family is injured, you can't afford it. Even if you are chopped into pieces, it will be difficult to make up for it. Stop being so ridiculous." A group of generals scolded one after another.
Wanyan Agu shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of my way, what are you chattering about? Didn't I make it clear enough? Get out of here and let Mr. Li conduct the test."
Everyone had no choice but to retreat. Li Guochou raised his hand and said to Wanyan Agu: "Big Chief, I will conduct this test myself. As long as the Big Chief is safe and sound, that's all. If the Big Chief is hurt, I'll be willing to die on the spot to apologize."
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and said: "Come on, come on, then it is not me who is most afraid, but you. I am taking risks, but you are also taking risks with your life."
Li Guoqiu nodded and said: "Yes, but so what? Nothing in this world is easy, and nothing is without danger. A man as noble as Chief Wanyan dares to get involved. Danger, what do I have to be afraid of? Chief Wanyan, sit still, I'm going to take action."
Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice: "Come on, don't hesitate like a girl."
Li Guoqiu said no more and waved to his soldiers to pull a horse. The posture of flying on the horse was that of a trained man, and his arms were extremely strong. When Li Guoqiu rode his horse past the weapons rack, he leaned over and grabbed it. He had an iron gun in his hand. The next moment, he was galloping toward Wanyan Agu with his gun in hand.
"Big leader, be careful." Li Guochou shouted in a deep voice, shining the spear in his hand and stabbing Wanyan Agu's chest quickly.
For a moment, Wanyan Agu had the urge to wave the spear in his hand to block, because the opponent's shot was so fast and fierce. He watched the big gun go straight towards his chest, but he couldn't make any reaction. Indeed, It goes against human instinct. But Wanyan Agu is an extraordinary person. He just restrained his thoughts and remained motionless relying on the restraint that ordinary people don't have.
There was a sound of "Bang!", followed by the sound of metal scraping. The spear was pierced into the chest of the heavy armor. As Wanyan Agu's body turned slightly, the spear passed through the surface of the heavy helmet and plunged into the air.
The generals looked horrified. Wanyan Aguda's body swayed a few times on his horse, and he sat down firmly. The generals rushed over to see if Wanyan Aguda was okay. Although the shot did not penetrate the armor, , but the huge impact can also cause injuries, and they were very worried that this stab would seriously injure Wanyan Agu.
Wanyan Aguda laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to touch the faint marks on the chest of the heavy armor and shouted: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay. Only now do I know that the long willow-leaf strips of armor are not only strong, but also It can avoid internal injuries. It was just like a punch to the chest, nothing serious."
Li Guoqiu came on horseback and asked repeatedly. Wanyan Agu laughed and said: "I'm fine. I didn't expect Mr. Li to be a man proficient in martial arts. He really used all his strength in the shot just now. Without this armor, I'm afraid He's already dead. It's really vicious."
Li Guoqiu heard a hint of blame in Wanyan Agu's words, saying that the shot he fired just now seemed to really take his life.
"It's good that the big leader is fine. I have to do my best because on the battlefield, the enemy will not be merciful at all. The big leader should understand what I mean." Li Guochou said calmly.
"I understand, of course I understand, this is not a blame. Come on, what's next?" Wanyan Agu laughed loudly.
