"General!" Wang Bai said anxiously as soon as he walked into the tent: "The Xiongnu are about to attack Yunzhong County."

Shen Bing asked puzzledly:

"Why see?"

Shen Bing would ask this because Wang Bai and Lei Hui also judged that the Xiongnu would not attack Yunzhong County before. They thought the same way as Shen Bing, thinking that the Xiongnu would leave some of their troops to restrain Yunzhong County and go south to looting.

But now they are so sure.

Wang Bai explained:

"General, the Huns have falcons."

"This eagle can find where the enemy cattle, sheep and horses are when flying into the air, and then the Huns swarmed out."

Shen Bing said "Oh" and asked:

"You waited but saw a falcon?"

Wang Bai nodded and said:

"It's true."

"Come and circle every few hours."

Shen Bing is a little strange:

"But I have no cattle and sheep..."

Lei Hui replied:

"I'm waiting for horses. The Shenwu Army has tens of thousands of horses."

"The Xiongnu confirms that all our cavalry are in Yunzhongcheng."

Shen Bing sounded a little dazed.

Fighting with the Huns is really a bit different. They have used "spy satellites" in this era. This thing is really much easier to use than spies, and you can get a few of these falcons for fun.

After a pause, Shen Bing asked again:

"But... why did the Xiongnu attack this Yunzhong County?"

No one can answer this question.

If it was for the food and grass of Yunzhong County, wouldn't the Qin army burn it before the defeat?

If it's for war horses...Although there are tens of thousands of war horses, the point is that there are more than 10,000 Qin troops.

To defeat more than 10,000 Qin Jun and seize tens of thousands of war horses, I knew it was a loss of money.

Wang Ben thought about it, and said:

"Perhaps knowing that our army is not strong enough, thinking that we can easily defeat our army, so..."

Shen Bing nodded in agreement.

Only by saying that can it make sense.

Because the Huns are not as persistent as the Central Plains countries. The Central Plains countries are farming nations based on land, so the war does not need too many reasons, just to want your land... If you give up a little bit, you need a little bit, and let a little bit and a little bit , Never too much.

The primary purpose of the Huns' war should be plunder rather than land.

Because of these places, they will move with the climate change.

Therefore, the Xiongnu would not attack Yunzhong County, unless... they didn't take Shen Bing's more than 10,000 people seriously.

Shen Bing thought for a while, and ordered:

"If the order is passed down, all the villages are ready to fight the enemy."

Everyone answered, and each took their orders to prepare.

The direct response to the enemy was the Liangjun placed by Wei Wei.

The beam army is an infantry army, and during this period the improvement of crossbow arrows is mainly an infantry army.

The walled city set up outside Yunzhong City was also completed by the infantry... It would be a waste to send cavalry to defend the city.

As for the five thousand Shenwu Army led by Wang Ben, it was used by Shen Bing as a mobile unit.

The Shenwu Army and the Xiongnu may not be able to compete with each other by riding and shooting, but they are better than they have cane armor...The cane armor workshop of the Shenbing set in the beam has been producing.

When he was transferred to the north to pass the beam, Shen Bing wanted to take the vine armor workshop with him.

But think about it...

It is useless to move this thing to the Northland. The Northland is a terrain of desert and grassland. There is no rattan here, so how can rattan be made?

What is the use of bringing workshops and workers to the Northland?

So the workshop remained in the beam.

In order to be able to provide a continuous and stable supply...This is almost the lifeblood of the Shenwu Army, because one day it suddenly gets stuck or raises the price, then the Shenwu Army is in a dilemma without armor.

Shen Bing handed this matter over to Yun Qian.

Shen Bing believed that Yun Qian was on the one hand, and on the other hand, Shen Bing also grasped Yun Qian's lifeblood...Paper.

At present, the entire Central Plains paper industry is located in Yuntian, which has made Yuntian give up other industries to specialize in paper industry.

Because other industries are wasting time compared to paper management.

One day, if Yunqi does not supply cane armor, Shen Bing will cut off paper supply to him.

In fact, there is not much need to worry about this, because the manufacturing method and technology of the rattan armor are in the hands of Shen Bing, and it is impossible for Yun Qi to form a monopoly on Shen Bing... Take a step back, even if Yun Qi does not do it, Shen Bing You can also find other people to do it. As long as there are rattans and basket weaving workers, you can make rattan armor.

By this time, the Shenwu Army had the top manpower, and there were still two thousand spares and replacements in the warehouse.

It's just that the quality of these vine armors is still not high-quality... the high-quality vine armor needs to be soaked for one year, that is to say, at least one year later.

If the Shenwu Army talks about the title, most of them are hairpins after being promoted to the third rank after the Battle of Ruyin...There are also low titles that will be added later.

At this time, they have enough armor.

But after some discussions, almost everyone hopes to continue to match the vine armor.

Later, even Wang Ben and his guards, who were used to match Qin Jia, were equipped with rattan armor.

Just kidding, who doesn't know how to use good equipment?

Especially after knowing that you want to go north to fight the Huns, who doesn't know how to use the cane armor that is light and fully covered, and can perfectly resist bows and arrows?

Wang Ben even suggested:

"General, why don't we equip the horses with rattan armor?"

Shen Bing gave a "Huh" and replied:

"good idea."

As the saying goes, "Shooting people first, shooting horses", the Shenwu Army equipped with vine armor has another weakness, that is, the horse is injured by the enemy and caused war damage. In the past, most of the Black Armored Army were injured by this...The horse was injured or frightened. Will throw the rider off the horse.

If you use rattan armor to protect the horse's vitals such as the head, chest, and flanks, without adding much weight, wouldn't it be more powerful?

Shen Bing no longer hesitated immediately and immediately "placed an order" with Yuntian.

Because of the ready-made soaked rattan, a thousand horse protective gears were delivered soon.

Shen Bing first equipped it to the original black armour led by Yan.

No one can blame Shen Bing for being biased. The original Black Armored Army followed Shen Bing in Ruyin's birth and established illustrious military exploits and was given the name of Shenwu Army. If you want this kind of treatment, you must first make military exploits.

Shen Bing's tactics were to use the Liang Army to garrison the walled city and to attack with the Shenwu Army.

As a result, a defensive system with both offensive and defensive capabilities, centered on Cloud City and assisted by the Walled City, was formed.

For example, which city has no arrows or no food, or a supply team came from the Central Plains but was intercepted by the Huns...

If there are only infantry, I’m afraid it’s too bad, because it’s difficult for the supply convoy to safely transport to the city under the charge of the Huns, and it is difficult for the infantry to quickly reach the destination to protect the supply team.

There is no problem with the Shenwu Army. Shen Bing believes that even if the Shenwu Army is inferior to the Xiongnu in riding and shooting, it is still invincible with the protection of the vine armor.

Just as Yunzhong City and the villages outside the city were nervously preparing for war, the Xiongnu's unique long-sounding horns rang outside the city.

Then there were soldiers at the head of the city waving flags and shouting:

"Huns, here they are!"

A big battle cannot be avoided.
