Chapter 146 Datang Armaments

Hao Ren was afraid that Zhen Qian's weapons and equipment would suffer, so he volunteered to accompany Zhen Qian to the warehouse, and asked his subordinates to hire a few carts.

Quietly handed ten silver coins to Si Cang's hand, and Si Cang's face immediately blossomed like a leather shoe with a fried thread.

In front of the warehouse, a Si Cangshi specially recorded, and four other small officials specially put the handling and checking. The envoy held an account book in his hand, and each piece of equipment had to be sung aloud and a sentence, and then he took a pen and ticked it on the book to confirm.

"One hundred and sixty-five horizontal knives of the personal meat Bo weapon!"

Si Cangshi sang loudly, and the people in the warehouse immediately brought out seventeen boxes of horizontal knives, ten in each box. Zhen Qian and Hao Ren stepped forward to count and accept, thinking that they would be some half-new and not old obsolete weapons, but when they opened it, they were all new and used new knives.

Zhen Qian's eyes lit up, and Hao Ren beside him picked up a handful in his hand and weighed it about two to three catties. Pull out the knife out of the sheath, the silver light shines, the blade is more than three feet long, connected to the hilt, the whole horizontal knife is about three feet three. Swing your hands like your fingers.

Hao Ren was overjoyed, "I haven't seen such a good horizontal knife for a long time."

Seeing Hao Ren and Zhen Qian's expressions like this, Sicang Shi also knew that the two of them were satisfied, and said with a smile: "Zhen Lang, this is a batch of good weapons just built last year, and County Captain Zhang specially instructed us to choose the best batch of weapons for you." These horizontal knives were originally intended to be specially equipped for officers above the rank of the army team, but now they are all cheap Zhen Lang."

In this way, Zhen Qian still didn't know the meaning of his words, and it was estimated that he had such a good weapon for himself because of the face of County Lieutenant Zhang, and Li Huang, the idle king who had no power, didn't count when he spoke in the state capital, let alone the state and county.

"Thank you, next time I have time to drink in the Drunken Immortal Building, it will be recorded in my account!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, just have Zhen Lang's words!"

Si Cang nodded with satisfaction, and sang even harder: "Melee longpole weapons, one hundred and sixty-five spears!" ”

"One hundred and sixty-five long-range weapons bows and crossbows, three hundred and thirty strings, one hundred and sixty-five hulu (quivers), one thousand six hundred and fifty armor-piercing arrows, one thousand six hundred and fifty raw steel arrows, and one thousand six hundred and fifty arrows with long stacks!"

"One hundred and sixty-five pairs of light armor, one hundred and sixty-five sets of single-coat battle robes, and one hundred and sixty-five sets of cotton robes!"

"One hundred and sixty-five bronze skulls!"

"500 cowhide strips for captives, 1 sheepskin grain bag, and 1 water bladder!"

As Si Cangshi sang every word, the little officials inside brought out a batch of various equipment. As the singing and cheering continued, the equipment in the warehouse was also continuously brought out, and the weapons and equipment like a mountain were piled up in front of Zhen Qian and the others, making Zhen Qian a little dumbfounded.

Zhen Qian was amazed by the quantity and quality of the equipment he received, and what surprised him even more was the complete range of equipment. Each has a melee spear and a horizontal knife for each person. This far broke Zhen Qian's impression that the regimental training was just cannon fodder and a rabble. In particular, the long-range weapon bow and crossbow is actually equipped with 100 percent, each person is equipped with a bow and crossbow, and one person is also equipped with thirty arrows, and those thirty arrows are actually divided into three types: raw steel, armor piercing, and long stacks, Zhen Qian naturally does not know the use of distinguishing various arrows.

Moreover, the one hundred and sixty-five sets of armor he received were also out of Zhen Qian's expectations. One hundred and sixty-five sets of armor are not simple leather armor, but real standard half-body iron armor, and the Mingguang armor seen in later generations is basically used by generals at the first level. The armor in the middle and lower parts of the storeroom is all made of scale armor made of armor pieces, and the shape is transformed into a two-piece suit. The shawl and shoulder pads are combined into one piece; The chest armor and leg guards are connected to form another piece, which is fastened with two shoulder straps front and back and put over the cape shoulder pads. At first glance, Zhen Qian thought that these were the armor of the officers. As a result, it was told that although Lieutenant Zhang had the intention of giving Zhen Qian some preferential treatment, this armor was actually only slightly better than others, in fact, at this time, the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong, and the armor of the imperial forbidden army and the army of the border towns was in this style.

This statement immediately changed Zhen Qian's previous views on Datang's military equipment. The equipment of the Tang Dynasty army was already very complete at this time, and just the 100% bow and arrow equipment rate, as well as the sophisticated iron armor general equipment army, you can know how thick the Tang Dynasty army was.

After receiving these weapons and armor, Zhen Qian thought that he had already received them. Just about to beckon someone to carry the equipment like a hill onto the cart, but unexpectedly, Si Cangshi stopped Zhen Qian again: "Zhen Lang, don't hurry to leave first, there are still many things that you haven't received!" ”

"And?"

"Of course, there are many more," Si Cangshi said with a smile.

Next, Zhen Qian appeared, and there was indeed a lot of equipment that he hadn't received, and there were a lot of them.

According to the records of Si Cang's history, Zhen Qian also received one for each person next, all of which were made of high-quality wood or iron sheets. A knife, a small mistake, pliers, a lock, a medicine bag, a salt bag, a flint bag, an unknotting hammer, and a whetstone. One trouser slave, one forehead wipe, one belt, one hat, and one felt hat.

In addition, each person has a blanket, a set of bedding, a set of felt, three pairs of bast shoes and some daily necessities.

A set of animal wool tweed coats for one person, Zhen Qian's team also has a set of leather suits for each person, this kind of thing is very smelly because of the general leather tanning process, according to Si Cangshi, this leather suit is specially used for surprise attacks.

Looking at the pile of all kinds of equipment that he couldn't even understand the purpose of being piled up in front of him, Zhen Qian thought in his heart that he should finish it now. In fact, he was wrong again.

These are just individual equipment, that is, weapons and equipment for individual use, and then each group and each team will also have some equipment for collective use.

Originally, there were six livestock in each group, but apparently these were not there, perhaps they were privately divided by a few officials. Each gang must have the same black cloth curtain, iron horse bowl, cloth trough, shovel, , chisel, mill, basket, axe, pliers, saw, etc., two first beds, two hammers; In addition, each team should also be equipped with one fire accumulation, one chest horse rope, three bonds, and three foot shackles.

For this large pile of equipment, Zhen Qian could only recognize a very small part. In the end, I had to humbly ask Si Cangshi for advice, and finally figured out the usefulness of these equipment.

Because regimental training does not require long-distance combat, the livestock transported are not needed for the time being, but if you want to set up scout troops, you have to buy war horses out of your own pocket, and the number is up to Zhen Qian to decide, and regimental training does not have the treatment of a regular army.

Zhen Qian is also half a military enthusiast, but he still knows very little about the armament and equipment configuration of the army in the Tang Dynasty, and he knows nothing about the marching formation--- he knows nothing about it.

The thirty-six strategies of ancient and modern times are not less, and later generations are still used in the shopping mall, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is naturally familiar, but it does not say so detailed, he is really a little white, it seems that the ancient military book must be read.

At this time, Zhen Qianxian Hao Ren found more than a dozen big carts It was a wise decision, and with three piles of mountain-like equipment in front of him, even a dozen big carts were full.

Si Cang said that if it is a regular army, there are military rations and forage, etc., it is another small mountain.

It's really not a family that doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and if you don't know how much equipment you don't know if you are an officer in the Tang Dynasty!

Zhen Qian instantly felt that the 100 gold coins given to County Lieutenant Zhang were not wronged at all, the equipment of the three hills in front of him was worth at least 15,000 yuan, plus the 5,000 acres of camp allocated by the county government to the regimental training camp, although it was not a good land, it was also worth a lot of money, and this investment made a lot of money.

As soon as he was happy, Zhen Qian stuffed the last few silver coins in his sleeve to Si Cang, although he knew that Si Cang was looking at the face of Zhang County Lieutenant, but there was no room for specific operations, which was exactly what the king of Hades was good at.
