Chapter 94 Wooden Shield
At this time, it was raining all the time in Chencang!
It has already entered summer, which is a rainy season, so it is naturally inconvenient to attack the city.

Except for the necessary standing guard, everyone else is hiding in their respective tents, sleeping, chatting and chatting...

They have been besieging Chencang for ten days, sometimes attacking the north gate, sometimes attacking the south gate... Every day they change the city gate, all the horses and trenches are completely destroyed.

They wanted to continue to attack the city, but suddenly it rained heavily, and there was no way.

It's just that Li Yao didn't want to rest idle at all, so he sneaked into the civilian husband directly, trying to modify some siege equipment.

Someone find that kind of very thick log, and use a saw to cut out a disc, about two fingers wide in thickness.

After being fixed to the position of thirty steps, Li Yao personally tried to draw the bow and shoot, and then shot five arrows in a row, each of which hit the target.

In the end, I asked someone to retrieve this disc. Because it hadn't been processed much, it was very wet, but it was still useful.

Although the five arrows can be inserted into the disk, or even penetrate the disk, the pierced part is definitely not fatal, so it still has a certain defensive ability.

After further processing and fixing, since there are no iron nails to use, Li Yao can only try the mortise and tenon structure.

Dig holes diagonally, cut diagonally, and finally put the parts together, against each other, which becomes a stable handle, and then make another stable handle.

Even if a small round shield is made, it is very wet and heavy, so it cannot be made bigger. After all, the bigger it is, the heavier it will be. Either it cannot be used at all, or it is not flexible enough to use.

It is undeniable that this kind of round shield not only has limited protection ability due to its shoddy manufacture, but also is probably useless after one use.

Even if it can only be used once, as long as he can intercept an arrow, as long as he can resist a slash... then his efforts will not be in vain.

Then Li Yao ordered his left and right soldiers:

"Go to the Qianfeng camp, no matter Han, Qiang, or Di, find a team of brave men!"

The left and right guards left, while Li Yao continued to assemble more small round shields.

Now Li Yao was staying under a shed, with the shed built of wood and branches above his head, so the rain couldn't come in, but it was still raining outside, so it took a long time for his personal soldiers to find a team of brave men.

Li Yao didn't talk nonsense, picked a strong man from among them, and asked someone to send him a wooden shield and a wooden stick.

And he himself grabbed a wooden shield, put it on his hand, and passed one handle with his left hand to grab the other handle, so that the wooden shield could be fixed well.

Then he grabbed the wooden stick with his right hand and put on a fighting posture, with the shield in front and the stick behind, Li Yao looked at the strong man and said in a deep voice:

"Pick up the stick and shield in front of you, let's fight together!"

The burly man had disheveled hair and was wearing an old leather jacket. He was obviously not a Han Chinese, but he definitely knew Li Yao, so his face was a little hesitant, as if he didn't dare to make a real move.

Seeing this, Li Yao frowned slightly. Since the other party didn't dare to make a move, he should do it first:

"Cowardless!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yao rushed over quickly, using the stick as a knife to strike down on the head, although it looked like the force was heavy, but he actually held back.

The strong man was taken aback, and quickly raised the wooden shield in front of him, just as Li Yao hit him with a stick, perhaps because his arm was numb from the shock, he dropped the wooden shield and began to back away.

Li Yao didn't continue to pursue, instead he took more than ten steps back, looked at the strong man and said again:

"Pick it up and play a game with me!"

Perhaps it was inspired by Li Yao, the strong man did not continue to hesitate, he picked up the wooden shield and put it on his hand, and then grabbed the wooden stick.

Like Li Yao, put on a fighting posture, and look at Li Yao with vicious eyes!

Not only was Li Yao not angry, he even laughed directly, then kicked hard on the ground with his feet, raised his shield with the help of recoil and slammed into it.

boom!
With Li Yao's strength and inertia, he collided with him, directly pushing him backwards.

It's not over yet, Li Yao's shield is held in front of him, he can defend or hit him, but the stick in his hand is not idle, either chopping or stabbing... The opponent who hit him keeps roaring, roaring because of the pain.

Li Yao's force value is very high, after all, eating, drinking and training since he was a child, an ordinary family can't afford it.

It makes sense to be poor and rich in martial arts!
Anyway, Li Yao thought that as long as he could fight him, he would be a general no matter his size.

After all, with the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient society, people are really different, but there is a world of difference in physical fitness.

With Li Yao's force, he could easily capture a small soldier. In the end, he rode on the opponent with a wooden stick on the opponent's neck.

Seeing the unwilling expression on the opponent's face, Li Yaocai climbed up from his body, and then gave orders to the left and right guards:
"He is very good, add a piece of mutton to him for dinner, don't pick it up, remember to add a big piece to him!"

When the strong man heard this, his expression changed instantly, revealing a flattering smile.

What is this called?
This is called the person who knows food is a hero!

Li Yao looked at the other party again, seeing his obsequious look, and asked what he wanted to know:

"How about this small round shield? Can it really work in actual combat!"

After all, this is not for him, it is for the soldiers of the Qianfeng Battalion, so Li Yao must get the most authentic information feedback.

The strong man thought for a moment, and then spoke his own thoughts:

"This shield is a bit small, it would be better if it was bigger, but it is still very useful..."

Li Yao nodded when he heard the words, and said all the usage methods he thought of:
"Just use it. When charging, lower your head and protect your head and body behind the round shield. If you can intercept an arrow, intercept an arrow. When climbing the ladder, hold it on your head. Remember to stick to the ladder. Hold the round shield and lean outward. If the rocks and logs can be bounced away, at least one life can be saved..."

When the strong man heard this, his eyes gradually opened wide, his face was full of gratitude, and finally he knelt down in front of Li Yao:

"Lang Jun is benevolent, a villain will never dare to forget!"

What is this person grateful for?
It was Li Yao who treated them as human beings!

In this rebel army, basically their respective chiefs and leaders commanded their own clansmen and tribes.

This vanguard battalion is actually a death-defying battalion. If you can enter the vanguard battalion, there is no need to say more about what it is.

They have to undertake the heaviest siege task, smashing the city gate, climbing the ladder, and the casualties are high. Now that they can treat them as human beings, it is naturally worthy of their gratitude.

Li Yao patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything, turned around and walked into the shed...

There are still many ideas in his mind, and Li Yao still wants to manifest them all!
