After the three people left, Ou Yexia nodded with satisfaction while holding the wooden weapon, and then set off in the direction of the mansion.
Mansion, fifth floor.
"The number of chariots this time is not enough?"
Xiao Yu frowned beside him.
As Yang Qian's dog-headed military advisor, he is now more suitable for managing internal affairs. Looking at the configuration of the army, Xiao Yu expressed his opinions.
In Yuntong County, everyone discussed plans together. After all, one person was planning the shortcomings and two were planning the strengths. It was not said that one person could decide the matter with a fan.
Yang Gan touched his smooth chin, his face full of depression.
"I also want to equip more, but building a chariot is too expensive. It would be difficult to rely on auxiliary troops for all logistical supplies. We must use civilians."
"And to be honest, I think the era of chariots is coming to an end."
Sometimes the situation needs to be viewed from an overall perspective. Yang Qian looked down at the entire Central Plains war situation from intelligence.
Just because oneself is not at war does not mean that there are no small conflicts between the vassal states. There will still be a few conflicts almost occasionally.
The report shows that as the war expands, tanks are likely to withdraw from the stage of history.
Xiao Yu looked at Yang Qian with shock on her face. She had this idea vaguely in her mind, but she couldn't be sure because the chariot has been around for a long time and is a very important unit.
It is even a benchmark for measuring a country’s strength.
The kingdom of a hundred chariots, the kingdom of a thousand chariots, and the kingdom of ten thousand chariots, of course, does not refer to quantity, it is a metaphor, but one can imagine the status of chariots on the battlefield.
One of the six arts of a gentleman is chariot-riding.
Yang Qian nodded silently, which was why he did not plan to invest money in the chariot.
If left for hundreds of years
At present, everyone still plays the same style as in the Spring and Autumn Period, and tanks are naturally popular.
As the scale of the war expands and the scope of the impact becomes wider and wider, tanks are becoming increasingly unsuitable for today's cruel wars.
A big drawback of tanks is that they are very dependent on terrain.
The battlefield requires wide flat ground, so we can't expect chariots to climb mountains and enter forests, right?
Chariot combat is mainly concentrated in the Central Plains region, which is perfectly consistent with the large-scale sports games hundreds of years ago. The victory will end immediately, and the results will be available soon. Generally, the opponent's chariot formation is disrupted, and failure is finalized.
But the current war is not like this. What is happening now is a large-scale annexation war, with the goal of occupying the other side's land and eliminating the other side's vitality.
It can be said that the wars hundreds of years ago ended at a certain point, but the wars now end with either side dying or being injured.
Obviously, tanks have no advantage on such a battlefield, because once the formation is disrupted, it is difficult to reverse the situation, and the losses will become extremely serious.
For Yang Gan, the loss of the chariot was nothing more than a loss of money, but the loss of the chariot was accompanied by worthless casualties, which was unacceptable under any circumstances.
Now the expansion of the scale of the war, the increase in the number of people fighting, and the rise of professional soldiers have made the war much more cruel.
At this time, chariot combat can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield. On the contrary, it is likely to become a burden. Especially with the development of iron tools, weapons are getting sharper and more advanced. Once chariots cause large-scale congestion, they will be lambs to be slaughtered. , at the mercy of others.
Moreover, the war etiquette of the Yanhuang Dynasty has disappeared. As long as the opponent can be defeated, any method will be used.
use.
No one will ask for a fight with you, and no one has the time to find an open, flat place with you, then set up a formation and rush towards the opponent.
In fact, at this time, infantry and cavalry had gradually replaced chariots in field battles and encirclement battles. They were more flexible and maneuverable.
"Okay, then I will reduce the number of chariots accordingly, but accordingly I need to increase cavalry."
"Snapped!"
Yang Gan snapped his fingers and nodded towards Xiao Yu with satisfaction.
The future is dominated by cavalry, and only cavalry is the only king on the battlefield.
To be honest, Yang Gan only knows cavalry
He is quite proficient with infantry, especially cavalry raids and encirclement for reinforcements, which is very pure.
But the chariot is indeed not very useful. Not only does it depend on the terrain, it also requires high-level talents, who must be able to drive a chariot.
Although many soldiers began to learn to read, the requirements were not high and they could at least write their own names. However, in the era when chariots were popular, the role of a royal commander had to be done by nobles.
The tactics of chariots are equivalent to the earliest coordinated battles between infantry and tanks. A chariot is followed by thirty soldiers.
But tanks are not afraid of bullets. In front of the chariot are war horses. War horses are not made of iron and will be injured and bleed. Even if Yang Gan wants to fight head-on, the chariot cannot reach this level.
Therefore, even if Yang Qian invented the spiral blade chariot, he has never used the chariot. In the final analysis, the formation is too rigid and it is easy for someone to surprise him. Once there are too many chariots, he will be muggled in an instant.
Not to mention dozens of cars, if hundreds or thousands of cars set off together, if there is a traffic jam, haha, it would be really fun.
After thinking about it, I still feel a little worried.
"When fighting Shang Guo, it is better to play it safe. If possible,
, or add some infantry, no matter what, the heavy infantry phalanx will always be the key to invincibility. "
"promise!"
Yang Qian began to rationally allocate military units according to Shang Guo's military strength.
At this time, the little girl walked in and saw that the whole study was filled with smoke. After coughing twice, she reported.
"Sir, Master Ouye is here!"
Yang Gan raised his brows and was a little puzzled. This old boy came to see him now. Could it be that he was short of supplies?
It's impossible. Slaves worked hard to mine minerals, so there's no reason why they would be short of supplies.
Although Shuihu and Shihua mined canals, in general, many of the minerals discovered before were mostly open-pit and very easy to mine. These have not been mined yet.
Yang Qian's study was very large, and even after the girls who could discuss things sat down, it was almost empty.
Opening the door, Ou Yexia shrugged her nose and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
"Well, Lao Xia, what's the matter?"
Ou Yexia immediately took out a weapon from behind and handed it to Yang Qian.
"Your Majesty, this is a weapon made according to your request."
Yang Gan took a closer look and stood up suddenly, showing a shocked expression.
***Young people are full of joy and let Lao Xia play freely. He will give himself unexpected surprises every time.
"I asked you to make a horse-fighting weapon that can both stab and chop. Why did you make me a Fangtian Painted Halberd?"
Ou Yexia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this weapon was used by strong chariot soldiers in the past. It is almost useless in infantry and horse battles because it is too bulky, but your physical fitness seems to be fine."
"It has crescent blades on both sides and a spear head on the top. It can both stab and cut."
Zhang Yumeng, who had just returned not long ago, was still resting next to him
, after seeing Fang Tian painting the halberd, he couldn't help but looked at it carefully.
"Damn it, isn't this the weapon used by Lu Bu?"
"How many times have I told you, don't mess up interpretation and history. This thing was used by chariot soldiers in the past, but it required very powerful chariot soldiers to use it, and it was used with skill, and later it became a ritual weapon."
Zhang Yumeng frowned.
"The red rabbit horse is on the crotch, and the square halberd is in the hand. I definitely know this."
Yang Gan rubbed his painful forehead.
"You must know something. According to the records of the Later Han Dynasty, Lu Bu most likely used a spear, but there are also records of shooting halberds at the gate, using a halberd. In the late Han Dynasty, it was very common to use halberds, especially hand halberds. The very short one can also be used as a concealed weapon."
Zhang Yumeng frowned.
"I remember when Brother Dong played Lu Bu, he had a crescent moon. It felt different from Fang Tian's painted halberd."
"The one with one ear and one crescent blade is called the Green Dragon Halberd, and the one with two ears and two crescent blades is called the Fangtian Halberd."
"As for what Fang Tian Hua Ji means, first: it must have both ears.
, Second: The Fangtian halberd is decorated with paintings, engravings, etc., which is called the Fangtian painted halberd. It is heavier and larger in shape, and is generally a ritual vessel. "
"In the past, military generals or strong chariot soldiers used square halberds."
"So that's it, tsk tsk tsk, the TV series is really good at bluffing people, I believe it."
Although he thought it was unreliable, Yang Qian, as a lover of cold weapons, said he was surprised and exaggerated, but his body was very honest. He was holding the wooden Fangtian Painted Halberd, a little reluctant to part with it, but he said he was amazed.
While looking at the weapons, Yang Gan couldn't help but glance at Ou Yexia. This young man
Son, there is a chuunibyou on the cliff. This Fangtian Painted Halberd is not what it looked like in the strict sense in history. The top is sharper and the two crescents are very huge. It is more like the game weapon in Dynasty Warriors.
One thing to say is that in terms of appearance alone, it can score 99 points. The remaining points will be saved temporarily for fear of Lao Xia being proud.
"Lao Xia, it's not me who said, is it too late to take out this weapon now? I will set off tomorrow. If I die, I still have one day. Don't tell me that I can make it in one day, or make it better. It's a rubbish weapon. On the battlefield, not only will they not be able to help me, they will even kill me."
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't excited when I saw the weapon I had been thinking about in my previous life, but now I was preparing to go to war, not to attend a comic convention where someone might accidentally get killed.
"Then, Your Majesty, how long can we delay our departure?"
Yang Gan pouted, not wanting to delay his departure for the sake of weapons, but touching the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand, the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.
The desire in his eyes could not be concealed.
In his own eyes, the current image was that of gleaming eyes, but in the eyes of Zhang Yumeng and the other girls, Yang Gan didn't seem to be looking at a weapon, but a woman who could conquer a country and conquer a city.
Just when Yang Qian was extremely confused, Zhang Yumeng looked at Ou Yexia.
"How soon can it be made?"
"Based on the current level of our foundry, using hundred-forged steel is very simple and can be done in half a day. After all, it is formed directly after forging. It just takes some time to grind."
"Wooden poles are also ready-made. There are at least hundreds of existing wooden poles in the foundry. They are made of tung oil and dried repeatedly for three years.
The goods are great and will definitely be ready tomorrow. "
