The companion next to him curled his lips with disdain, "Nonsense, General Zaifu is usually very secretive, but he is known to be life-threatening in fights."
Liaodong County, Xuantu County, Lelang County, and Lintun County.
The four counties began to compete in martial arts one after another, and many former Goguryeo soldiers also began to participate.
Yang Gan's plan is also very cunning. Former Goguryeo soldiers can also participate, but many of them are assigned strong opponents, and there is almost no possibility of winning.
In this way, you won't be treated differently and you can get some consolation prizes.
With a little sweetness in your mouth, there will be no complaints.
It can also give them the feeling that the Central Plains soldiers are very powerful.
Baiyun Pass.
Feeling that nothing happened, and the old man had pretty much handled it, Yang Gan led everyone back to Zhuangzi after watching the auditions for a day or two.
Krisna, who was originally in high spirits, started to feel sick after watching a few more games. Normally, in Zhuangzi, everyone would compete with each other.
It's almost clear who has what strength.
Maybe it was because she played too many high-end rounds. After watching the bronze match for a day, not only Krisna couldn't stand it anymore, but even Zhang Yumeng felt very bored.
Especially in the competition between Yang Qian, Qing Qing, and Cao Wushuang, when the weapons collided, even standing a little far away could feel the shock wave plowing the ground.
Zhang Yumeng also found it incredible, but the fact happened before her eyes, so she couldn't help but not believe it.
Yuntong County, Zhuangzi, mansion, meeting room in the side room.
Yang Qian, Zhang Yumeng, Cao Wushuang, Krisna, Ou Yexia, Li Wang and more than a dozen people are located here.
There are the best blacksmiths here, including Zhang Yumeng who is proficient in modern metallurgy, and Yang Gan who is familiar with weapons and armor.
As for Cao Wushuang and Krisna, they put forward their opinions based on the shortcomings in the war.
"Everyone, take a look. This is the armor I designed for the new army. Are there any problems?"
Everyone looked at the drawings in their hands, and Zhang Yumeng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"This painting is too ugly."
Yang Gan scratched his head, "It's not that it's ugly, the armor itself looks like this."
"Wrapped in armor, it feels like a braised egg."
Yang Gan laughed loudly, "You idiot! What braised eggs? This is called the complete version of Bu Renjia."
He looked around and said calmly, "After we invented the stirrup, units such as cavalry have already appeared on the battlefield, but it is not enough. Why? Because of the opponent's military formation."
"Young Master is right. Regardless of whether it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, as long as the opponent forms a square formation, when approaching the enemy's camp, the enemy will push the spearmen to the first row."
"In this way, even if the cavalry can rush in, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot of losses. Only when they are divided, defeated one by one, and pursued in these battles is the time for the cavalry to show its prowess."
Ou Yexia is the number one blacksmith in Yuntong. If he has never eaten pork, how can he never see a pig running away?
His philosophy in building weapons is always based on actual combat, nothing fancy.
But when he saw the types of soldiers and their armors in the military formation, he was completely confused.
"Sir, are you sure you want the soldiers to wear such heavy armor?"
Yang Gan nodded, "Yes, although the armor is heavy, the only way to break the military formation is the military formation. In fact, I also thought about shooting the opponent's military formation directly with a bed crossbow."
"But now that I think about it, the military formation can only be forced. If the crossbows appear, the opponent will either fight back or retreat directly and gather the city to defend, which will not be beautiful."
"If we want to stop the enemy's elite, we must dispatch heavy infantry to restrain us. After all, heavy infantry can keep us invincible. In addition, the army also has cavalry. Only joint operations with multiple arms are the way to win in the future. .”
Looking at the string of data, Ou Yexia rubbed her temples with a headache. "Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to give you what you want. Even if we make such an armor, it will probably be heavier than the actual one."
"The most important thing is that even if you select the most elite soldiers, as long as they are human, they cannot fight in such heavy armor for a long time."
Li Wang also nodded in agreement.
"Sir, this weight is just armor. If it is equipped with weapons, it will weigh more than a hundred kilograms. Even if the soldier is brave, he will be exhausted after fighting fiercely for just one stick of incense."
"How can we compete with the enemy's elite and fight in an ordinary battle..."
Yang Gan waved his hand and directly interrupted Li Wang's speech.
"What do you want to say? I know better than you. Generally, a battle is almost over in one hour. If it lasts longer, it will be almost over two hours. After all, it is almost impossible to take it longer. Human physical strength is limited, right? I am also a military commander. , know better than you."
Li Wang nodded and frowned.
"Since you understand, Master, you should know that if you are equipped with such armor, if you don't end the confrontation within a quarter of an hour, you will probably lose your troops."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "I have already thought about it. The only thing you need to consider now is how to equip these soldiers with equipment. Using the existing system, I still have to invent it."
"Pfft!"
Seeing Zhang Yumeng burst into laughter, Yang Gan immediately glared at him.
Zhang Yumeng covered her mouth and her eyes turned into crescent moons.
"No, I'm sorry, I usually don't laugh in scenes like this, but I just couldn't help it."
The two looked at each other, and they both knew what each other was thinking. Zhang Yumeng found it funny that Yang Qian often said that many things were his.
But she knew that almost everything was plagiarized by Yang Gan, which was so shameful. However, no one in this society would punish him now. They just thought it was funny.
"Your Majesty, if the spearman is equipped with a hoe, the weight will be greatly increased, which may be dangerous."
It is well known to many that soldiers equipped with long guns are actually the easiest to do except for the courage. A long gun of about three meters can only hit three or four kilograms.
But what if it’s a long hoe? If it is a long hoe that is about three meters long and weighs at least fifteen kilograms upward, its lethality is terrifying. It can stab, chop, and chop, but if you don't have the strength, it will be in vain.
Because spearmen need to stab others. The weight of spears in various countries is roughly the same. With a three or four kilogram thing, they will stab the opponent like crazy.
Three or four kilograms, even Yang Gan's shit weighs more than that. You can imagine how cool it is to be a spearman, but once equipped with a long hoe, it will be ruined.
Yang Gan waved his hand, with a nonchalant look on his face, "Don't worry about the weight for now. Since no one wants to talk about it, let's tentatively decide on the spearman's equipment, a long hoe more than three meters long, a pair of armor, and the secondary weapon is 60~80 centimeters. The iron knife of Su."
Seeing that Mr. Wu An didn’t consider the weight, everyone started to let themselves go!
At the end, everyone adds up the data and presents it.
Lancer: 70 kilograms of armor, 15 kilograms of long hoe, 60cm long iron sword as secondary weapon, total weight is about 90 kilograms.
Crossbowmen (a small amount): 54 kilograms of armor, a crossbow, a number of arrows, an 80-centimeter iron sword as a secondary weapon, and a total weight of 75 kilograms.
Archer: 66 kilograms of armor, two stone bows, some arrows, 80cm long iron sword as secondary weapon, total weight 76.
Sword and Shield Soldier: 88 kilograms of armor, a medium-sized round shield made of tempered steel in the left hand, and a short sword/halberd/dagger in the right hand, with a total weight of 110 kilograms.
Chariot Soldiers: 70 kilograms of armor. There are usually three people on the chariot. The captain is in the middle, holding a bow on the left and a spear on the right. When fighting, use a bow to shoot when you are far away, use a hook when you are close, and you can also use a scorpion and a long halberd.
Cavalry: 30 kilograms of armor, main weapon: horse spear/long-handled axe/long hoe, secondary weapons: bow and arrow and 80cm long iron sword, several arrows, total weight about 60 kilograms.
Yang Gan said lightly, "This kind of armor is more complicated than bright light armor. The whole body is almost made of armor. Even the neck and head are made of armor. So the foundry only needs to forge the armor well."
Ou Yexia kept calculating, sometimes frowning in confusion.
"Sir, do you have any special requests?"
"Yes, I need the armor to be as simple to wear as possible, even if it is very heavy, but it needs to be dismantled by one person as much as possible. I don't plan to put many auxiliary soldiers in this army."
"promise!"
"You can go and work overtime to produce all the ordnance I need."
Ou Yexia cupped her hands and smiled.
"Sir, don't worry. The equipment is ready now. It's very simple. Five thousand sets, right? It should be fine if you give me a month."
Because the patterns were different and the sizes of the armors were different, Ou Yexia could only re-open the mold.
Yang Gan shook his head, "It's five thousand sets, but you have to produce more armor pieces. If it needs to be strengthened or damaged, I can repair it directly in the army."
"promise!"
After the two left, Yang Qian discussed with some generals and they also left.
After these generals walked out, their whole heads were buzzing.
"It's no problem. It's so heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk."
"How do I know? Your Majesty is probably confused. He thinks everyone is the same as him. How is that possible?"
"Fortunately, the cavalry's armor is relatively light."
"Oh shit, armor and weapons are added, and the weight of people is added. Whether the horse can withstand it is still open to question."
"Forget it, your Majesty is not the kind of person who targets without purpose. I think there must be some solution to this problem."
"I hope so."
Everyone has 100% trust in Wu Anjun, but sometimes the things he makes are simply not for normal people.
Which county governor or feudal lord would ask soldiers to wear armor that they can't wear at all? This is not a joke.
After everyone left, Zhang Yumeng's face was full of differences and he couldn't help but stand up.
"Are you really crazy? These soldiers can't even carry them. If you still act like this, aren't you asking people to die?"
"Shut up."
Yang Gan's face was stern.
"You know so much, do you think I'm a fool?"
"Remove the word "?"
"screw you!"
Yang Gan's face was full of determination, "Look, believe me, this army will be the most terrifying army in the world, and no one will be his opponent."
"Haha, I really want to see how a person can fight with a weight of eighty or ninety pounds on his back. Not everyone is like you."
