Chapter 428: Who is the best soldier in the world [Ask for subscription]

The military appearance of the PLA in later generations is second to none in the world, but Lu Qian can't copy it. The difference in sensation between hot and cold weapons is too great. The soldier in short clothes, holding a rifle, kicking the right step is naturally mighty, but can you imagine the scene of a group of people wearing armor, wearing iron helmets, fluttering hats, and holding spears and knives, kicking the right step horizontally and vertically?

Nondescript.

He discovered this as early as when Liang Shanbo was training, and if so, kicking the right step turned into walking in unison. To a certain extent, it has also reduced the burden of military training.

Two thousand heavily armored cavalry. All wore half-length iron cuirasses.

The half-body iron cuirass was actually the prototype of plate armor, but it was limited to the metallurgical technology at this time, and it was difficult to mold large pieces of plate-shaped gold and iron into armor. The latter is related to various processes such as ironmaking and quenching. In more detail, there is the issue of iron ore grade and the phosphorus content in it.

Since the world entered the era of black iron, China's metallurgical technology has always been at the forefront of the world, but plate armor has not appeared in Chinese history at all. There are many reasons for this, but the poor quality of iron ore is definitely a major poison point.

After all, the quality of metal in ancient metallurgy had too much to do with the taste of ore, and the lucky Malay monkeys could also refine a treasure knife with meteorite iron falling from the sky. If the West touches China's iron ore, it will not even think about making plate armor.

The iron-making masters of the Tokyo craftsman camp dug up by the Golden Leopard and the Liang Shan Army racked their brains, and they could only complete half of the finished product. This is actually a cuirass or an enlarged version of a heart guard. Even the armor that runs through the limbs and the lower body is still a scale armor made of leather and armor iron plates.

If you only look at its upper body, it is really similar to the cuirass of later generations. And if you look at the whole, it can only be said that it is more like Mingguangjia in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The Mingguang armor was essentially a scale armor with the protection of large iron armor, which was very similar to the situation in the early days of the development of European plate armor.

At present, the only difference between the two is the upper body, at least the upper body front armor, and Liang Shanjun has achieved integration.

The first to enter was the left battalion of the Xiao cavalry, and the five hundred elite cavalry were in four columns. People are like dragons, horses are like tigers. The fine light is shining, and its momentum is as heavy as Mount Tai.

The sound of the horse's hooves was unified.

Since this half-body iron cuirass was finalized, Lu Qian began to focus on the personal guard cavalry around him in the direction of modern cavalry.

When he formed the personal guard cavalry, the Liangshan army was fledgling, and although most of the soldiers selected were veterans, there were also newcomers. When the pro-army expanded, the cavalry battalion and the hussar battalion were divided into about each other, so that some new recruits were recruited. The characters inside are more people who are good at riding in the land of Qilu, and of course there are some veterans who have served in the service, and even the Western Army.

Now after such a long period of training, it has the image of a modern cavalry. Although the charge did not reach the point where the so-called two cavalrymen could have an apple between their thighs [I seem to have seen this argument somewhere], it was not a problem to walk slowly and slowly like a wall.

"Da Da Da ......" two thousand elite horsemen passed by in turn.

The high cheers seemed to have no end, and the noisy atmosphere dyed the sky red, reaching its peak when Lu Qian's Wang flag flew by.

On the Mingxuan floor in the trade area, the sound of horses' hooves was drowned in the earth-shattering cheers without being heard by everyone upstairs.

A flash of surprise flashed on the waxy yellow face of the Yelu Cave Immortal, the two thousand elite horsemen were mighty and majestic, the swords and spears were bright, and the fine armor was shining, this kind of atmosphere was really beyond his expectations. Yelu Dong Immortal is a Khitan minister, but he is not a traitor, even if he did not agree with the hardliners' strategy of going south, it was also a business.

But now, he had to be happy. Liang Shanbo's nest of grass coars can actually practice such fine riding. It was directly asked that he raised the combat power of the Liangshan Army to a higher level.

Guy is because the armies of this and that side of the force, like the human class, are from weak to strong, and there is an inverted pyramid order.

Just like the resentful army of Liao, the town soldiers of Hanzhou, the Xi soldiers and the palace army. This Liangshan army is the same, and it is impossible for the immortals to select a top strong soldier in the world from a nest of five scum.

"Goo", the brothers Yelu Zongyun and Yelu Zonglin beside him swallowed their saliva fiercely, which made him never expect a scene to appear in front of them. The eyes of the two brothers were only fixed on the two thousand elite horsemen, and they both ignored Lu Qian's civil and military forces later, and the infantry army further behind.

"I have also been in the army for many years, and I have seen the soldiers and horses of the Great Liao, Western Xia, and Jurchen, but I have never seen such a fine horseman." Chu Mingyu opened his mouth and said. He is the general under the Yelu Cave Immortal.

"Xianggong, this horse army is weird." Cao Mingji also shouted. This person is the same as Chu Mingyu, and he is the right-hand man of the Yelu Cave Immortal. Naturally, he has been trained in the army for a long time, and he has followed Aliqi and Biter Weikang to fight with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry in Liaodong. It is a person who has truly witnessed life and death. The two thousand cavalry in front of him seemed calm, as if they were a pool of water. But Cao Mingji had a hunch that once the fight came, this peaceful "waterhole" was afraid that it would turn into a violent storm in the blink of an eye, devouring endless flesh and blood.

From the cavalry in front of him, Cao Mingji only felt a kind of composure. This kind of calmness is not a strong will and faith, and he will die without regret, just like a Jurchen; They are accustomed to life and death, and do not care about life and death; On the battlefield of Liaodong, the true Jurchen elite is like this. They came out of the white mountains and black waters, the Huanglong Mansion, the land of Liaodong, for the Central Plains, and even for Nanjing Dao, they were barren and desolate, but in the eyes of the Jurchens, they were already heaven.

Because their original life was even more difficult, the Jurchens did not know how to farm, and only lived by fishing and hunting. The climate in the northeast is bitterly cold, and nearly half of the year is winter, and the nobles of that tribe don't talk about it, and the people at the bottom have starvation and death every year. What's more, they also have to pay tribute to the Liao State, and the number of the latter is not a small number.

Fur is abundant in the northeast, and the colder the place, the better the prey skin. The Liao magnates apparently preferred someone to take the initiative to deliver the best fur to themselves, rather than shooting their prey on horseback and with a bow.

Although Wanyan Jurchen established the military and political system since the time of Wanyan Wugunai, the ancestor of Aguta, they even came into contact with the culture of the Central Plains. But the Jurchens still make a living from fishing and hunting. And when they took Huanglongfu and Liaodong, the people of the Bohai, Han, Khitan and other ethnic groups there could cultivate and produce grain, and these people who belonged to them were also incorporated into Meng'an Mouke, which was enough to make countless Jurchens risk their lives to fight.

Do you know what the treatment of Meng'an Mokhu is?

β€”β€”Its system is Meng'an Mouke Department households, each plow three cattle for one, limited to 25 people's mouth, four acres of four acres of land [404 acres] Qi, the annual loss of millet is only about one stone, the government and the people occupy the field without more than 40 [120 cattle].

That is to say, a Jurchen household in the Meng'an Moke Department can have up to 120 cattle, 1,000 people (masters and slaves), and 161.6 hectares of land - 16,160 acres; And the tax payment is extremely meager, up to forty stone a year.

This kind of treatment is crazy.

As a military system, Meng'an can be hereditary, or brother to brother, or father to son. Compared with the preservation of the existing fruits, the lives of the Jurchen soldiers are not worth mentioning at all. Compared with the acres of military merit divided by Lu Qian, it also seems very stingy.

The Jurchen soldiers' fearlessness of life and death on the battlefield already made Cao Mingji feel terrible. And the southerner cavalry in front of him gave him a feeling that they were not weaker than the real Jurchens, and they were even more terrifying.

"If the Jurchens are a torrent of thousands of miles, they are a calm sea." Li Ji, the general of the left Jinwu, said fiercely. He couldn't tell which of the two armies was more terrifying. But if he can choose an opponent, he prefers the Jurchens. Because they can be seen at a glance, and this southerner army is so that people can't see the bottom at a glance.

Although the sea can be calm, it can also be turbid and overwhelming.

In response to the "dong dong" sound of the snare drum car, the three thousand step armor came in turn, and they stepped on the drum, and their footwork was always not a little confused. The four words of training are fully displayed in them.

Wuyan Yanshou pursed his lips. He had seen the elite soldiers of the Great Liao, and he had also seen the Jurchen army with his father Wu Yanguang, although he was soon recalled by Emperor Tianzuo. But the impression that the Jurchens gave him was as if it were imprinted in his mind, and he could no longer linger.

- They are full of morale, the military heart is like iron, and there is a different majesty in their faces!

They don't have the tall horses of Emperor Tianzuo's personal guards, nor do they have bright iron armor and mighty appearance, but they only have the fierceness and fierceness of a strong army.

In his memory, the Jurchens seem to be all elites in a hundred battles, and everyone kills people and drinks blood as if it is commonplace.

But the Jurchen team was so different from the army in front of them. He originally thought that the Jurchens were what the real elite should look like, but now the southerners, the cowardly southerners, seemed to have given another answer.

"Lang Jun, this southerner should not be underestimated!" Kou Zhenyuan said with frustration in his ear.

……

The martial arts arena arrived in a blink of an eye, and in the deafening cheers, Lu Qian immediately saw Shi Wengong wearing a full frame, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and riding on the back of a white horse. Next to him was an ugly horse in armor.

"The young general Shi Wengong / Xuanzan meets the king. The armor is in the body and cannot be fully bowed, hoping that the king will atone for his sins. ”

"Hahaha......" Lu Qian laughed heartily and said, "The two generals quickly calm down." General Xuan defeated Beikou in a row and raised the prestige of our Central Plains. General Shi fought against the two generals and won it, and his martial arts were really outstanding. even killed villains like Zeng Mi with a halberd, which made people happy. ”

"Come on. Give the two generals a strong bow and a sharp blade, and a good horse. ”

The reward is not heavy, but it is in the heart. Shi Wengong and Xuanzan were not happy when they heard it.

Someone here hurried to the downstairs of Ming Xuan and led a well-prepared Liao State cadre into the venue. Yelu Dongxian has already received all the previous surprise in his heart at this moment, wearing three beams into the virtuous crown, decorated with golden flowers, adding pearls and jade and green hair, and hanging golden flowers on the back of his forehead. The forehead is also decorated with gold flowers, and the upper part is tied with purple bands. Wearing a purple narrow robe, left side, round neck, gray color, tie, decorated with gold and jade, crystal, and indigo, it is "purple".

This is the official uniform of the Khitan.

Behind him, all of them changed into strong suits, or purple and black sable fur, or sand fox fur. In today's era when there is no cotton circulation in the north, fur fur is a must-have for rich and noble people after the weather turns cold.

Yelu Cave Immortal first asked people to line up, that is also the flag covering the sun, the trumpet fluttering, the warriors' armor made a sonorous sound, and it was also a majestic march in the sound of drums!

Chen Guanxian was waiting at the entrance of the martial arts arena. Seeing Yelu Cave Immortal patting his horse to greet him, "Dare to ask, but is it a cave immortal waiter?" Chen Guan, a waiter of a certain Great Qi Rite Department, is polite. ”()
