Chapter 444: Inauguration Ceremony (5)

The armor she wears is brand new. Although Dai Yun has always insisted on practicing martial arts and has been running in the army, becoming a wife and a mother has changed her body shape forever after all. And Ye Tao naturally will not ignore this change. When Dai Yun appeared in front of everyone in armor as the chief officer of the parade, Ye Tao redesigned the armor for her. The new armor did not use many stamping techniques to make armor pieces and then polish them like Dai Yun's armor back then. At that time, stamping was still a very advanced technology, but now, stamping has become too common technology, even relatively poor technology. When it came time to create armor for Dai Yun, the craftsmen didn't have much to see the stamping technique. And the armor that Ye Tao began to design after communicating with the craftsmen has become the best place for the craftsmen to show off their skills.

The shoulder armor of the overall forging is triangular in front and back, the front extends to the abdomen, and the back extends to the waist, and the armor pieces of different shapes are connected on both sides, overlapping with each other to a certain extent, which is not weaker than the overall forming of the protection, and has very good ventilation and heat dissipation, and the layers of overlapping, elastic armor pieces, itself has a fairly good effect of removing the impact force, compared with the original double-layer armor to fill the flexible layer is too lightweight, but in the effect of fighting blunt weapons and throwing weapons, it is better. The original armor did a good job of ensuring the flexibility of the knight's frontal bending, chest lifting, etc., but the lateral bending action was hindered, and the new armor was better in this regard. Although it is impossible to be without obstacles, knights with swords, especially those officers, will move very smoothly when they bend down to stab. The same is true for waist and leg armor, where the rigid part of the overall shape and the flexible part made of the armor piece complement each other to provide excellent protection, flexibility, and lightness and coolness, reducing the heat of wearing the armor to a minimum.

However, because this set of armor was specially designed for Dai Yun, considering the aesthetics and the possibility of Dai Yun's actual use, the tradition of making the Yunzhou armor into the armor as a whole with water bags and drinking water pipes was not adhered to. After all, if Dai Yun was stuffy in the armor for a long time, he couldn't drink water, and he couldn't get the water bladder on the horse's saddle bag...... In everyone's opinion, this situation is too unlikely to happen. It is also because of aesthetic considerations that Dai Yun's helmet is no longer the style of full-coverage with visor, but more like a beautiful hat with the function of a helmet. The production process of the whole armor is quite repeated, especially each piece of armor has to be formed separately, after the completion of the production, the surface of the whole piece of the whole piece of overall formation has been polished, and the decorations on it are all carved and made by Ye Tao himself.

When this set of armor was completed, Dai Yun was naturally overjoyed. This woman, who could have made many officers anxious at the slightest frown, was now a wife and mother after all, and the tenderness and beauty of her heart had never faded because of the responsibilities she had shouldered and had always shouldered. This armor made Dai Yun like it so much that he couldn't wait to wear it all the time. And the outstanding design of this set of armor also made the generals of Yunzhou look forward to it. The battalions of the main battle battalion in Yunzhou can all customize armor, but in addition to the first set of armor, they have to pay for any more armor out of their own pockets. However, being able to become the commander of a few thousand people, enjoy high salaries and high service supplements, officers are a relatively wealthy class. Among the first-class officers of the battalion, the atmosphere of collecting armor and weapons and comparing with each other is still very strong. Everyone has always changed their armor in a set, and they never get tired of it. It is conceivable that this new style of armor will also become popular among Yunzhou officers in the future.

When Dai Yun wore such a bright and practical armor to issue orders in the small square, and led the battalions neatly into the central avenue, Gao Senqi sighed faintly. He roughly explained the function of this armor, but he focused on explaining the difficulty of this armor, since the Western Route Army was fully prepared for war, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the study of Yunzhou and the production and manufacturing of ordnance, Gao Senqi knew a lot about this kind of technical things. He could see at a glance that this kind of armor could make the knights' physical fitness better preserved, more flexible in action, and stronger in combat effectiveness without reducing the protection, and this kind of armor, with the current technical strength of Northern Liao, I am afraid it is impossible to build. Fortunately, the cost of this armor is not low, even Yunzhou may not be able to afford to change the clothes of the whole army, at most it is to change those officers.

"Behind Dai Yun is the Guards Cavalry Battalion......" shook his head, shook off some reverie, and Gao Sen Qi explained: "The Guards Cavalry Battalion rarely participates in battles, and now it is mainly used as an honor guard. But in reality, the Guards Cavalry Battalion was not so simple. The officers and men of the Guards Cavalry and Guards Infantry Battalions were carefully selected, there were no new recruits, and they were all veterans of at least one year of service in each army. And whether it is daily training, supplies, and equipment, they are all given priority, and the armor on their bodies now is too ostentatious, and it is estimated that they will not be able to fight, but once they change into the same equipment as those other cavalry battalions, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of such a battalion is above the two battalions of ordinary Tieyun cavalry. ”

"The Guards Infantry Battalion following behind is probably not much more than the ordinary infantry battalion. After all, no matter how strong the infantry is, the regular army is still a consumable force against the regular army. But the Guards Infantry Battalion can be used as both light and heavy infantry, just change the equipment. Moreover, each of them can shoot a bow, and at least half of them are relatively proficient in handling heavy equipment. As for the fact that everyone in the infantry battalion in Yunzhou can ride horses, you must know it......" Speaking of this, Gao Senqi couldn't help but sigh a little. And Jiang Yan didn't know how to react. In Chunnan, cavalry is a very important and expensive type of troops, but in the north, for Yunzhou, Benwolf Plain, Zhenzhou and the northern grasslands, cavalry is not worth anything at all, everyone can ride a horse, and all the infantry battalions in Yunzhou can fight on horseback when needed. Although the tactical movements may be a little rusty, the combat effectiveness will not be much worse.

"Look at the back, Tie Yun Cavalry and Jing Yun Cavalry have nothing to say, they are both main battle camps. …… Now it is a mixture of the two armies of the Frost Wolf and the Silver Wing. These professional scout teams have tossed the patrol team of Northern Liao miserably over the years. Don't look at the leather armor on their bodies, it is not ordinary leather armor, it is lined with barbed wire and silk, and the idle arrows cannot penetrate it. All the equipment of the scouts of these two armies was specially designed, including horse harnesses, tools for field activities, food packs, and water bladders, and the whole set was half lighter than the cavalry equipment of Tieyun and Jingyun. Even if they were equipped with the same horses, the idle cavalry would not be able to outrun them, and the horses of these two armies were still very fast. Not only that, these two armies are extremely slippery, the battle that cannot be won is never fought, and the loss will be great if it is won, and the Northern Liao border pass has been entangled with them back and forth for several years, only the Flying Tiger Army once hit them in an ambush, and the rest, the best situation is that the two sides have losses for each other. Now it's even more wrong, they often come out with a small team with an airship overhead, and it's almost impossible to ambush them and intercept them. …… At least that's the case when the weather is good. ”

"The Heavy Equipment Battalion is here...... Mr. Jiang should be more familiar with this than me. Anyway, Chunnan also got a lot of ballistas and fire oil bombs from Dongping. However, they didn't get the big guy out this time. These are normal models of ballistas. Now, the longest-range ballista made by Ye's workshop can reach about 2,500 steps, and it uses the kind of gliding bullet used in Xiling. It's just that I don't know how to get it now, and it's much more accurate than before. In fact, with a range of 2,500 paces, it doesn't matter whether it is accurate or not. It's not used to hit people at all, and the scary effect is better. ”

"Airship...... Ay...... Airship......" Gao Moriqi looked up helplessly at the group of airships flying in the air. And on this issue, Jiang Yan has the same feelings as him.

When a group of simple carriages passed, Jiang Yanhu asked suspiciously: "This is also the army?" Is it a baggage camp? ”

Gao Senqi said lightly: "Yes...... You are not a soldier and do not know how terrible this baggage camp is. When the Yunzhou army moved, their various consumption was very staggering, but the baggage battalion was always able to keep up with the supplies. The baggage battalion not only has its own transportation capacity and escort ability, but also has the computing ability of almost every squad and even every soldier in it, which can make full use of the resources of the baggage battalion, and can also coordinate caravans and other civilian transportation forces to serve the battle. It's easy to train a reckless man into a warrior, but after teaching thousands of people how to count and how to coordinate and manage, probably except for Ye Tao and Suo Zheng, no one has this kind of ability. …… Not to mention how powerful these soldiers and non-commissioned officers and officers are, when these people almost retire, they have a bunch of caravans chasing after them to be hired. In this way, in fact, once the battle is fought, it will be easier for the baggage battalion to gain support. ”

"There's nothing to see in the back. The Invalides Camp is an interesting unit, but they are too young, and it is clear that the best of them would prefer to be in the main battle camp. Such a unit is very good to fight with the wind, and it is easy to use the escort baggage, but it is a little troublesome to fight really hard. After that, the cavalry of the coalition army of the tribes of the Benwolf Plains is just the opposite, most of them are veterans, and they have enough experience in everything, that is, explosiveness and toughness, after all, they are not as good as the sergeants of the right year. There is also the back, the cavalry of the northern tribes, I don't know much about it, but if you want to train this group of people, you don't have to think about it for a year or two......"

When the tribal cavalry passed, the parade came to an end. The whole ceremony came to an end, and after that, it was time for the grand dinner. When the cheers fell silent, Gao Senqi and Jiang Yan felt a little strange in their hearts. At this time, Jiang Yan suddenly said: "Brother Gao, aren't you going to the dinner in the Governor's Mansion today?" ”

Gao Senqi's identity is indeed a little too sensitive, but what kind of person is Gao Senqi, and what kind of relationship is it with Yunzhou? He smiled and said, "Originally, I wasn't going to go, I'm afraid that if I show up like this, Ye Tao will have a hard time, and it is estimated that there will be a bunch of impeachments, saying that he colluded with the enemy army in Northern Liao or something." But today he can be regarded as showing off his might, I have to go. By the way, you can also meet the people who talk about it. ”
