"Chu Dayong's department has completed the costume change, although Modao and Chongkai have been canceled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, the combination of sword and shield is now more suitable for foot combat, and their mobility has been greatly improved due to improved armor. Hou Ye's theoretical subordinates who have also studied the angle of protection are also with Master Geng, and under the same conditions, the steel plate that is indeed inclined is not easy to be shot through. There are more cases when crossbow arrows are fired and they are bounced off. ”

The fisherman didn't understand why the cuirass was designed in an arc shape. It wasn't until after the armor was made and destructive experiments were carried out. The full-body plate armor of the arc-shaped breastplate is very strong, and after being buttered, it is used to shoot at close range with a Qin crossbow. It wasn't until thirty steps that the armor was shot through. Most of the bolts bounced, leaving scratches of varying shades on the outside of the armor.

Thanks to the new design, the weight of the armor was further reduced. All the armor adds up to only twenty-eight catties, which is not a little lighter than the armor of the Modao Battalion, which used to weigh fifty or sixty catties. These guys who have been transferred from the Modao Battalion are originally strong people. I'm used to wearing Modao armor, and wearing this kind of armor is like not wearing it. The swift ones don't like words, jumping up and down like monkeys.

As for the weaponry, it was also improved, and the wide-brimmed pointed shield covered with iron was retained. The Mo Sword was abandoned and replaced by a broad-leaved broadsword. This sword, which was born in the Middle Ages in Europe, has a high degree of hardness. At first, Yun Yue was ready to use Pingliang steel, but gave up after producing 100 handles.

Because the Yueshi people had mastered better smelting techniques, Yun Yue designed according to the shape of the Damascus knife. Fan Zeng's reaction was very fast, and he organized the craftsmen of the Dayue clan to develop it day and night. Finally, a sample knife was made, and the knife was covered with a pear blossom-like texture. Exactly like the photos Yun Yue saw on the military website, the cold air emitted by the knife body was a bit compelling even in summer. When it was sent over yesterday, Ao Canghai, who had just recovered from a serious injury, cut off the head of a rhinoceros with one knife. The blood beads on the blade flowed like blood lines, and they fell to the ground without touching a drop. Ao Canghai was so happy that he immediately asked Yun Yue to give him this knife.

Yun Yue made up her mind, and in the future, the Yun family's knives would be made by the people of the Dayue clan. With the help of the Damascus Steel Knife, these kills will burst into even more formidable combat. After equipping these killers, Yun Yue planned to replace even the cavalry knife with a Damascus scimitar. However, this has to be designed separately, and presumably just changing the appearance should not be difficult for those excellent Otsutsuki craftsmen.

"The era of heavy cavalry and hoplites will eventually pass, and with the introduction of long-range weapons into warfare, it no longer matters how thick armor protection is. Even if your armor can protect against bows and arrows, can you protect against bed crossbows? Manpower is limited after all, and blindly increasing the weight will only sacrifice the maneuverability of the soldiers. With the power of the three-bow bed crossbow, even if the soldiers were crushed to death, they could not resist the javelin-like crossbow attack.

Lighten the burden on the warriors and equip them with the necessary armor. Unleashing their physical strength and mobility is the key, and one day the army will find a balance between attack, defense, and mobility. Yun Yue brought out the tank theory of later generations to fool this old gentleman, causing the old fisherman's eyes to be full of little stars. With such a marquis, it will be difficult to defeat the battle in this life.

Of course, Yun Yue would not say that this was all seen on the military websites of later generations, and the explosion of information made his knowledge reserve very rich. In particular, he is also a military enthusiast, and since playing a game called the Middle Ages, he has been particularly fond of ancient weapons.

"Master Hou! Let's sell weapons and armor to the Qin army like this, and the king is quite suspicious of the Hou Ye, will it ......" Li Si said with some hesitation. The last time things happened seemed to hit him hard, and now Li Si is a little timid in doing things. Talking is not as casual as before!

"So we're going to sell the same amount of blades and armor to the six eastern countries, and it's okay to exchange things if we don't have money. Even if you exchange the population, Lao Tzu is willing. In the past, we used to say that all the food was supplied by Guanzhong, but now we have corn and potatoes. Both of these crops are extremely drought tolerant, and the yields are even more high. Moreover, we have a lot of greenhouses in Pingliang. Even in winter, vegetables and fruits can be produced.

A person's belly is so big, and if you eat more food, you will eat less food. We have exchanged a lot of cattle and sheep from the Huns, and every family can eat meat several times a month. If you have oil and water in your stomach, your physical fitness will be stronger. "The children running all over the streets in Pingliang City are Yunyue's pride.

The average height of Pingliang children is basically taller than that of children in other regions of the same age, and even compared with Xianyang, which is rich in the world, it seems to have an advantage. Yun Yue specially asked Zhang Jia to make a comparison, and Zhang Jia was also taken aback by the results.

Due to the abundance of food, and adequate fat intake. The physical condition of the people of Pingliang is generally better than that of Guanzhong, not to mention the six eastern countries that have been in war for many years. This does not show much advantage in peacetime, but in wartime conscription. In just five or six years, Pingliang's generation of teenagers will become adults. Yun Yue will have a group of soldiers who run fast, jump high, have strong bodies, and are muscular.

Finally, Li Si's mind is more flexible and can keep up with Yun Yue's leaping thinking. The old fisherman was a little confused, and his face was full of question marks. I don't understand, how to start from the issue of weapons. All at once the food problem was discussed!

"Actually, I mean, to lay a good foundation lately. Consolidating the people's livelihood as the foundation, as for the battle, it is enough to raise a group of elite soldiers. Our Pingliang Army is pulled out now, and there is no problem in dealing with two or three hundred thousand elite Qin troops. But our war potential is seriously insufficient, and the population is a shortcoming. The population of Xianyang City alone has reached one million, look at how many people we have in Pingliang? The total population is less than 300,000. That's it, I still count the old man and the milk doll.

Great Qin can withstand years of war, but we can't afford it. Once a battle is lost, there is a risk that all the gains made will be lost. On the battlefield, the dragon's blood is yellow, and who dares to say that the word victory is under the danger of the fierce battle.

Let's not compete with the Great King for a short time, let the national strength of Great Qin be consumed along with the six eastern countries. When they're gone, we'll be stronger. With enough food, we can feed more people. When people live better, they have more children. Only a strong war potential can support our domination of the Western Regions...... Or rule over China! ”

This was the first time Yun Yue had talked about his ambitions with his subordinates, and the old fisherman's eyes lit up. Li Si glared at Yun Yue in shock, although they already knew it in their hearts. But after all, vague and vague looming is not the same as straightforward dissection and broad daylight.

Li Si bowed deeply, bowed his hand, and stepped back. The same is true for the fishermen, who are inexplicably excited by the dragon's work. As long as you follow this master correctly, the wealth of the whole family will be counted. As for the issue of the next generation, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they can't manage so much.

At the foot of Rooster Mountain, Yun Yue stood in the carriage to watch Chu Dayong's drill. After all, the soldiers of the Five Thousand Yuan Mo Sword Battalion have always been the main force of the Pingliang Army, and now they are wearing gorgeous full-body plate armor. At first glance, it looks exactly like the foot knights of medieval Europe, and they look like robots on the school military field to display the results of this time-interrupted training.

"Master Hou, this kind of armor is good. The protection is good, and it can withstand the hammer strike. You don't know, our original Chongkai seems to be unbreakable. In fact, as long as there is a warrior like Qiqi who smashes it down with a mace. Even if you don't kill you on the spot, you will be shocked and vomit blood. This kind of armor, when smashed by a hammer, seems to be nothing at all. I didn't feel the slightest shock all over my body, that is, the big guy didn't like this shield. I always feel that something is in the way, Lord Hou, look at ......"

Chu Dayong looked at him with a lot of muscles, but in fact, when it came to fighting nerves, he was more sensitive than anyone else. Yunyue's curved design effectively plays a role in shock absorption. In fact, the deadliest thing on the battlefield is not the sword, but the blunt weapons such as hammers and maces.

As the armor's protection increases, the sword's lethality becomes more and more limited. On the contrary, the lethality of blunt weapons is relatively huge, but the protective power of armor in the Warring States period has not yet been improved to that point. Swords and crossbows are still the masters of the battlefield, and Chu Dayong can see this layer, which shows that this guy is a natural warrior.

"The most important thing is light! Your previous armor, plus more than a hundred catties of Mo knives. Even if it's you, how long can you hold on. Now it's just a shield and a knife, and you're too lazy to take a shield? I might as well tell you that this armor is still not Qin Crossbow's opponent at a distance of thirty or forty paces. Equip a shield and you'll probably be able to save your life.

Tell me, is life important or is it important to carry this shield? "For this kind of rammed goods, there is no need to talk about the big truth. As long as you say it's about life, these guys will immediately be good. Don't look at them killing people without blinking, but they can take their lives seriously.

"I see, since I can save my life, I don't have to bother with it." said it, but in his eyes, he didn't like his armor as much as he used to. He even misses the original Modao armor a little! If he knew, the Mo Dao armor would be shot through by the Qin crossbow fifty steps away, and he didn't know how he would feel.

"This kind of armor is less than thirty catties in total, which is good for your physical strength and continuous combat time. Do a good job, the Modao Battalion is a thing of the past. No matter how powerful the Mo knife array is, it will be burned into slag when it is poured with fire oil. This time, Wang Jian burned many Wei soldiers outside Hangu Pass. They, too, are hoplites!
