My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

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 join Qin, he still found it difficult to adapt to his new identity.

Facing the baggage transported by the land in Japan, Li Mu always felt a little awkward when facing the baggage sent by Qin.

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

Li Mu took the lead and walked towards the southern city wall of Shanggu Pass, and saw from afar a row of wheelbarrows pushed by corvées, forming a long line and moving quickly towards them.

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

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

"One man can push so much baggage so heavy and move so fast."

"The speed of traveling on the Xingdao Road is even faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage."

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

"With this weapon, the Qin army has won the food and grass, but there are too many soldiers and horses from other countries."

While admiring, Li Mu subconsciously began to build tactics around the Changan car, and a lot of new ideas emerged.

Since the Chang'an chariot allows civilians to push heavy baggage and food at a brisk pace, is it possible to install a large shield that is larger than all the current shields on the front of the Chang'an chariot to create an infantry unit that has both high mobility and high defense?

Or install the crossbow in the Changan car...

Forget it, forget it. I think such a treasure will never be allowed to be handled by such a disloyal general as me.

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

For the King of Qin? Why?
For Changan Jun? I don't deserve it!
Li Mu's expression remained calm, but his mind was a little dazed.

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

"Yang Wengzi has led his army to settle in Dai. From now on, all the baggage of Wu'an Jun's army will be transported here by Chang'an carriages and assigned by Yang Wengzi."

"If Wu'an Jun is also interested in mobilizing the Chang'an car, he only needs to report to the commander-in-chief."

"Now I have many Chang'an cars in Daqin. As long as Wu'an Jun has the needs, I think the head coach will not be stingy."

Li Mu was silent for a few breaths, then nodded gently: "Thank you."

Ren Xiong said with a smile: "Mr. Wu'an is thanking you too early!"

"It won't be too late to thank you after Wu An-jun sees the supplies sent by the commander!"

After hearing Ren Xiao say this twice, Li Mu was intrigued: "Oh?"

After ordering the soldiers to open the city gates and let the laborers into the city, Li Mu strode down the city wall, walked directly to a cart, and pulled open the linen cloth covering the cart.

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

"Mr. Wu'an, be careful!"

"Aong, it's a helmet!"

Li Mu waved away Zhao Jiang, who was full of worry, and squinted his eyes slightly to see the objects on the cart clearly.

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

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

“Although there are several layers of linen as padding on the inner layer, the outer layer of iron is quite thick and heavy!”

Seeing the not-so-good-looking helmets in Chang'an's carriage, Li Mu's originally calm eyes showed some interest, and he stepped forward and picked up an iron helmet.

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

"Canglanglang~"

Li Mu drew the sword from its sheath, gripped the hilt with both hands, and stabbed down with force.

"Dang~~~"

With a sound of metal clashing, the long sword pierced through the iron helmet, but after only the tip of the sword penetrated, it lost its strength and got stuck in the burrs of the iron helmet.

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

But how many people in the army have the power of Li Mu?!
Li Mu slowly drew out his sword, looked down at the tip of the sword which was already curling, and then looked up at Ren Xiao, with a bit of envy in his eyes: "I've heard that the amount of iron materials in Qin has increased dramatically in recent years."

"I never thought that the lower-level generals of 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 strength, there is still a clear gap between the helmet forged with ten-forged steel and the heavy helmet forged with copper alloy by the captains of the Dai army.

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

So this iron helmet will definitely not be worn for the lieutenants, but for the middle-level generals of the 2500 Lords. This is very terrifying!

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

Li Mu was not a stingy person. If a helmet delivered to Ren Xiong's tribe was punctured without Ren Xiong's permission, Li Mu would give him a better helmet in return as an apology - even if Li Mu's heart was bleeding!

The State of Zhao was poor, the State of Dai was even poorer, and as for Li Mu's troops, they were even poorer!
Li Mu's posture of presenting the helmet was very cool, but it was just an effort.

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

Li Mu did not feel dissatisfied, but asked in confusion: "Where did I go wrong?"

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

"This helmet has been pierced by Wu Anjun, what use is there for me?"

"It's better if Wu Anjun stays for his own thoughts, he doesn't need to give me a heavy helmet."

When Li Mu heard this, shock showed uncontrollably in his eyes.

Li Hong asked directly: "Captain Ren, are you saying that these helmets were given to our generals by the commander-in-chief?!" Ren Xiong smiled and shook his head: "Captain Li is wrong too."

"In this battle, the Qin army's 250-man army and above wore heavy copper (alloy) helmets, while the 500-man army and the garrison commanders wore leather iron helmets lined with pig skin."

"So the helmets on this cart are not for the generals to wear, but for the basic cloth iron helmets worn by the squad leaders, sergeants and material officers."

A group of former military generals: Huh???

Li Mu raised the helmet in his hand and asked in a louder voice: "Is this helmet worn by the squad leader, sergeant, or material officer?!"

"Can a sergeant, a sergeant, or a material officer wear such an iron helmet?!"

The standard helmet for the five hundred commanders of the Dai army was a stone helmet, and only those with a wealthy family or who had won a prize could wear a metal helmet.

So you told me that this iron helmet made of ten-forged steel is for the soldiers?
You can't joke like that!
Ren Xiao nodded calmly and said, "Not bad."

"The commander specially allocated 40,000 basic helmets to be distributed to the Wu'an Jun's comrades."

"In addition to these 40,000 basic helmets, the commander-in-chief has also allocated another 40,000 sets of basic armor to Wu Anjun, who will be assigned by Wu Anjun."

As he spoke, Ren Xiong walked quickly forward, and a group of generals followed closely behind him until Ren Xiong lifted the sackcloth on another Changan carriage.

Looking at the silver light emitted from the car, the generals were reluctant to blink.

Ren Xiong continued, "This car is loaded with basic armor, which the coach often calls first-class armor."

"Based on body shape, the basic armor is divided into three types: large, medium, and small. Each type consists of two pieces. In battle, the two pieces of armor are tied together with a leather rope to cover the torso."

"Wearing a basic helmet and wearing a basic armor is a complete set of standard armor used by all-hair, sergeant, and material officials."

"The car then had the garrison leader and five hundred main armor. Not only did it have iron armor to protect it, but it also faced both arms..."

Ren Xiong proudly introduced the armor that had just been delivered from the rear.

Even the arrogant have the right to be proud.

When this collective change of equipment is completed, whether it is the armor of senior generals or the armor of junior generals, the Qin army's armor will be the best in the world!

But all the generals such as Li Mu and Li Ke 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, preventing the crossbowmen from bending freely, and it cannot fit the soldiers' bodies completely like armor, it is a real piece of iron plate!

Putting the armor piece 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 passionate: "This armor is enough to resist arrows shot from a short bow."

Li Mu continued to stab with increasing force, and the depressions on the nail plate became more and more numerous and deeper. Finally, with a heavy stab from Li Mu, a hole appeared.

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

"It's hard to block the heavy stabbing and smashing of a warrior, but it can basically block the stabbing of an ordinary spearman."

"good!"

"Very good!"

Although this pair of armor has too many shortcomings, it is for the grassroots soldiers!
More importantly, there are 40,000 sets of such armor, and more than 10,000 sets of better armor, which can be deployed by Li Mu at will!

Li Mu could not help but tighten his grip on the armor in his hand, and looked at Ren Xiong with a bit more trepidation: "I think Commander Ren's troops cannot be equipped with such armor for the entire army."

"Does Chang'an Jun really want to give me more than 50,000 sets of iron armor and iron helmets to me?!"

Ren Xiong said sincerely: "My troops have never been equipped with such armor, just to show the enemy that we are weak."

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

The corners of the mouths of generals such as Li Hong and Li Ke twitched slightly.

Incompletely placing iron armor is indeed a way to show the enemy's weakness.

But our showing weakness to the enemy means abandoning a few weak troops and pretending to be defeated and retreating, while Chang'an Jun's showing weakness to the enemy means surrounding the main force of the enemy and killing him?

Chang'an Jun's showing weakness to the enemy is so different from our understanding of showing weakness to the enemy!
But after a moment of silence, all the generals' eyes were focused on the carts of armor.

Li Mu gently stroked the armor on the chariot, his voice full of mixed emotions: "I have been in the army for decades, and I have planned less for the enemy and more for the court."

"In order to get the court officials to stop exploiting and deducting, and to deliver all the food and fodder to our army, I have argued with the court officials and the late king countless times!"

"But today, but today..."

Whether he was the Wu'an Jun of Zhao or the Wu'an Jun of Dai, Li Mu could not get so many and such good armors even if he talked his mouth off.

But now, Li Mu had not even mentioned it to the Qin State or Ying Chengjiao, and Ying Chengjiao had taken the initiative to send more than 50,000 sets of iron armor, which was enough for Li Mu to fully arm his soldiers.

There is no comparison between that time and this moment!

Li Mu felt a little touched and relaxed in his heart.

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

So this is what it feels like to be fully supported and trusted by the rear?
Cool! ! !
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu suddenly looked at Ren Xiao, bowed and said in a solemn voice: "I thank you Chang'an Jun Gao Yi!"

"Please report to Chang'an Jun again to put the most difficult battlefield."

"Leave it to me!"
