Chapter 1108: It's Just a Show of Strength! Li Mu: Leave the Most Difficult Task to Me!

Although Li Mu was forced by his two sons to surrender to Qin, he still felt a little uncomfortable with his new identity.

Li Mu accepted all the baggage from Dai, but felt a little uncomfortable with the baggage from Qin.

However, after hearing that it was Ying Chengjiao's order, Li Mu nodded after a moment of silence: "Good."

Li Mu took the lead and walked towards the south wall of Shanggu Pass, and saw from a distance a long line of wheelbarrows pushed by corvées.

Even though he had heard the name of Chang'an car many times from the scouts, this was the first time Li Mu saw a Chang'an car with his own eyes.

Thinking of the outrageous baggage supply speed and mobilization ability of the Qin army in the previous war, Li Mu couldn't help but reveal some surprise and envy in his eyes: "Is this the Chang'an car built by Chang'an Jun?"

"One man can push so many and so heavy baggage and move briskly."

"The speed of traveling in the Xingdao is even faster than that of a carriage."

"It is worthy of being created by Chang'an Jun!"

"With this weapon, the Qin army has defeated other countries' troops in terms of food and grass by far."

While praising, Li Mu subconsciously began to build tactics around the Chang'an car, and a lot of new ideas emerged.

Since the Chang'an car can allow civilians to push heavy baggage and food and still move briskly, can a large shield larger than all the current shields be installed on the front of the Chang'an car to create an infantry with high mobility and high defense?

Or install the crossbow in Chang'an's carriage...

Forget it, forget it. I think such a treasure will not be allowed to be handled by a disloyal general like me.

And even if I come up with more tactics, who am I thinking about tactics for, and who am I fighting for?

For the King of Qin? Why!

For the Lord of Chang'an? I don't deserve it!

Li Mu's face was still calm, but his mind was a little dazed.

Ren Xiong said in a gentle voice: "This car was painstakingly built by Chang'an Jun, so it is naturally very magical."

"Yang Wengzi has led his army to station in Dai. In the future, all the baggage of Wu'an Jun's troops will be transported here by Chang'an cars by Yang Wengzi."

"If Wu'an Jun is also willing to mobilize Chang'an cars, he only needs to report to the commander."

"Now there are many Chang'an cars in my Great Qin. As long as Wu'an Jun needs it, I think the commander will not be stingy."

After a few breaths of silence, Li Mu nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Ren Xiong smiled and said: "Wu'an Jun thanked you too early!"

"Wait until Wu'an Jun sees the baggage sent by the commander, then thank you!"

After hearing Ren Xiong say this twice, Li Mu became interested: "Oh?"

Instructing the soldiers to open the city gates to let the corvée into the city, Li Mu strode down the city, walked directly to a cart, and pulled open the linen covering the cart.

Then, a dazzling silver light flashed towards Li Mu's eyes!

"Wu'an Jun, be careful!"

"Aung, it's a helmet!"

Li Mu squinted his eyes slightly and saw the objects on the cart after waving away Zhao Jiang who was full of worry.

It was a pile of helmets stacked up, reflecting bursts of silver light under the sunlight!

Li Hong immediately grabbed one of them in his hand, weighed it and felt the weight, then knocked it with his fingers, and then said in a deep voice: "It's an iron helmet!"

"Although there are several layers of linen padding on the inner layer, the outer layer of iron is quite heavy!"

Seeing the helmets in Chang'an Car that were not good-looking, Li Mu's originally calm eyes gave rise to some interest, and he also stepped forward and picked up an iron helmet.

After careful observation and knocking, Li Mu put the iron helmet on the ground.

"Canglanglang~"

Drawing the sword out of the sheath, Li Mu held the hilt with both hands and stabbed hard.

"Dang~~~"

Accompanied by a sound of metal clashing, the long sword pierced through the iron helmet, but after only probing a sword tip, it was unable to do anything and got stuck in the burrs of the iron helmet.

Although just the tip of the sword that penetrated the iron helmet was enough to be fatal.

However, how many people in the army have the strength of Li Mu? !

Li Mu slowly pulled out the long sword, looked down at the sword tip that had already curled a little, and looked up at Ren Xiong, with a bit of envy in his eyes: "I have heard that the iron material in Qin has increased sharply in recent years."

"But I never thought that the grassroots generals in Qin could also wear helmets forged with ten-forged steel!"

According to Li Mu's judgment, the iron material used in this helmet is definitely not pig iron, but at least ten-forged iron.

In terms of sturdiness, the helmet forged with ten-forged steel is still a clear gap compared to the heavy helmets forged with copper alloy by the Dai army captains.

But there are more than dozens of iron helmets on this cart!

So this iron helmet is definitely not for the captains, but for the middle-level generals at the level of 2500 masters, which is very scary!

Li Mu picked up the iron helmet with the tip of the sword and handed it to Ren Xiong, and ordered: "Captain Hong, take a captain's heavy helmet and give it to Captain Ren."

Li Mu is not a stingy person. If he pierces a helmet delivered to Ren Xiong's troops without Ren Xiong's permission, Li Mu will give him a better helmet in return to make amends - even if Li Mu's heart is bleeding!

Zhao is poor, Dai is even poorer, and as for Li Mu's troops, they are even poorer!

Li Mu's gesture of giving the helmet is very handsome, but it is just a strong support.

Ren Xiong did not take the broken helmet handed by Li Mu, but shook his head and said: "Wu Anjun is wrong."

Li Mu never felt dissatisfied in his heart, but asked in confusion: "Where did I go wrong?"

Ren Xiong smiled and said: "These helmets are not only for my troops, but also for both you and me."

"This helmet was pierced by Lord Wu An, what is the use of this helmet?"

"It's fine for Mr. Wu An to keep him here just to think about you. There's no need to give me a heavy helmet again."

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes showed uncontrollable shock.

Li Hong even asked directly: "Captain Ren is saying that these helmets were given to our generals by the commander?!"

Ren Xiao laughed and shook his head: "Captain Li was also wrong."

"In this battle, the Qin army's two to five hundred commanders and above wore heavy copper (alloy) helmets, and the five hundred commanders and commanders wore leather and iron helmets lined with pig skin."

"So this helmet is not for generals to wear, but a basic cloth iron helmet for commanders, corps commanders and officers."

A group of former military generals: Huh? ? ?

Li Mu picked up the helmet in the master's hand and asked in a loud voice: "Is this helmet worn by the commander, corps commander, and material officer?!"

"Can commanders, corps commanders, and officials wear such iron helmets?!"

The standard helmet of the Five Hundred Lords of the Dai Army is a stone helmet. Only those from a wealthy family or those with achievements can wear metal helmets.

As a result, you and I said that this iron helmet made of ten-forged steel was for pawns?

You can't be joking like that!

Ren Xiao nodded calmly and said: "Not bad."

"The coach specially allocated 40,000 basic helmets to Wu'an Junbu Paoze."

"In addition to these 40,000 basic helmets, the coach also allocated 40,000 pairs of basic armors to Mr. Wu An for deployment."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

As he spoke, Ren Xiao walked forward quickly, and all the generals followed closely behind Ren Xiao, until Ren Xiao lifted the linen cloth from a Chang'an carriage again.

Seeing the silver light emanating from the car, all the generals couldn't bear to blink.

Ren Xiao continued: "This car contains basic armor, which the coach often calls first-level armor."

"According to the body shape, the basic armor is divided into three types: large, medium and small. They are all a pair of two pieces. During war, the two pieces of armor are tied in series with a leather rope to cover the torso."

"Wearing a basic helmet and basic armor is a set of standard armor used by commanders, corps commanders, and officers."

"The next car is the commander of the village, with five hundred main armors. Not only does it have iron armor to protect the body, but it also has arms..."

Ren Xiao proudly introduced the armor just sent from the rear.

Ren Xiao also has the right to be proud.

When this collective change of uniforms is completed, whether it is the armor of high-ranking generals or the armor of low-level generals, the Qin army's armor will be the best in the world!

But Li Mu, Li Ke and other generals could no longer listen.

Li Mu directly grabbed a piece of basic armor and looked at it carefully.

Although this piece of armor is hard and rigid and cannot allow crossbowmen to bend freely, nor can it completely fit the soldiers' bodies like armor, it is a real iron plate!

Putting the piece of armor on the ground, Li Mu held the sword in his backhand and stabbed lightly.

"Dang~"

The nail plate is slightly dented, but not damaged.

Li Mu's voice was a little more fiery: "This armor is enough to withstand the arrows thrown by the short bow."

Li Mu continued to thrust with greater force, and the dents on the armor became more and more numerous and deeper. Finally, the holes were exposed with one of Li Mu's heavy thrusts.

Li Mu's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, but his voice was extremely hot: "This armor cannot block crossbow bolts, but it can block arrows."

"It is difficult to block the heavy thrusts of warriors, but it can basically block the thrusts of ordinary spearmen."

"good!"

"Very good!"

Although this armor has too many shortcomings, it is for the most basic soldiers!

What's more important is that there are a total of 40,000 pairs of armor like this, and there are more than 10,000 pairs of armor better than this, and they are all deployed at Li Mu's discretion!

Li Mu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the armor in his hand, and looked at Ren Xiao with a more anxious look: "I see that Captain Ren's entire army cannot be equipped with such armor."

"Chang'an Lord really wants to give me more than 50,000 sets of armor and armor as a gift?!"

Ren Xiao said sincerely: "Our troops have never been equipped with such armor, it is just to show the enemy's weakness."

"Now that the decisive battle is coming, all Qin troops, including ours, should be equipped with this armor. Wu'an Jun's troops are also one of the Qin troops, so they should be treated equally."

The corners of the mouths of Li Hong, Li Ke and other generals twitched slightly.

Not equipping the entire army with iron armor is indeed a way of showing weakness to the enemy.

But our show of weakness to the enemy is to abandon a few weak brigade and pretend to be defeated, while Lord Chang'an's show of weakness to the enemy is to surround and kill the main force of the enemy's army?

Lord Chang'an's show of weakness to the enemy is so different from what we understand of show of weakness to the enemy!

But after being speechless, all the generals turned their attention to the armors one after another.

Li Mu gently stroked the iron armor on the car and said in a mixed voice: "I will serve in the army for decades. I have few enemies and many plans for the court."

"In order to make the ministers in the court less exploited and exploited, and to transport our army's food and grass into our army in full, I don't know how many times I argued with the ministers in the court and the late king!"

"But today, but today..."

Whether it was for Lord Zhao Wu'an or for Lord Dai Wu'an, Li Mu couldn't get so many and such good armors even if he talked a lot.

But now, Li Mu didn't even mention a word to Qin or Ying Chengyu, and Ying Chengyu took the initiative to send more than 50,000 sets of iron armor, enough for Li Mu to fully arm his soldiers.

At that time and now, they really couldn’t be compared!

Li Mu felt uncontrollably moved and relaxed.

So, is this the baggage supply that Lord Chang'an brought when he went on an expedition?

So, is this what it feels like to be fully supported and fully trusted by the rear?

Cool! ! !

After taking a deep breath, Li Mu looked at Ren Xiong with a clear mind, and said solemnly: "I would like to thank Lord Chang'an for his generosity!"

"Please report to Lord Chang'an again and leave the most difficult battlefield to me!"

"Leave it to me!"
