Chapter 926: Eye-Openings

In many cases, it is a matter of opinion whether something is expensive or not. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For example, in the eyes of the Goryeo people, a weapon with a hundred steels is only fifteen times, and an iron leaf step armor is only forty-five times, which is really cheap for no one. But if you broaden your horizon a little, if the million army of the Great Song Dynasty (the Great Song Dynasty is indeed known as one million to the outside world, and only one forbidden army in Tokyo is claimed to be 800,000) everyone is equipped with a set of 50 sets of equipment, and the maintenance and maintenance costs of this army are too expensive!

For a while, both Yao Sheng, who didn't know about military affairs, or Yin Xin, who knew military affairs very well, were shocked by Huang Jie's words.

And Huang Jie is indeed right, there is no need for him to deceive the two of them, because this is basically the truth. The 15,000 men and horses he brought this time were equipped in this way, but he didn't reveal a premise: among the 15,000 people, 5,000 Huangzhou Wei were purely his personal personal soldiers, so he naturally did not spare any money; The 5,000 Shenwu Army is the most elite Imperial Front Fourth Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and its equipment is naturally the top of the Great Song Dynasty; In the end, the 5,000 Hebei Dare Warriors were recruited by name and the heroes of the Heavenly Dao League and the loyal and righteous people in the green forests of the Great Song Dynasty rivers and lakes, and they must be on par with Huangzhou Wei in terms of equipment.

Hearing Huang Jie's answer, Yin Xin was speechless for a while, when he followed Yao Sheng to the island, he naturally also washed and looked at the shape of the Song army's guards and the layout of the camp, and naturally he would not ignore the Song soldiers who stood and patrolled everywhere were all wearing full body armor. You must know that now in Goryeo, that is, the Shenbu and Shencai armies of the Bewu class founded by his father are equipped with battle armor as standard, and the ordinary Goryeo regular army basically only has armor to wear only the personnel above the team or the heavy infantry dead soldiers who are responsible for charging and jumping (attacking), and most of the ordinary soldiers are in uniform, and they are also equipped with leather armor in the sky.

As for the weapon, it is even more miserable, and now the standard configuration of ordinary Goryeo soldiers is a three-pronged spear with an iron spear head, which is still the iron spear head that is willing to pay for it when Goryeo is economically rich today, to say that it was put aside in the Sui and Tang dynasties hundreds of years ago, and even the iron spear head could not be loaded!

I know why we have a contemptuous name for the Goryeo people "Goryeo stick", this is because during the war between the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the Goguryeo soldiers who were short of weapons fought bravely with sticks during the war, and they were stunned to extinguish several Eastern Crusades of the Sui and Tang Emperors.

Looking at the two of them without saying a word, Huang Jie also felt that the heat was almost enough, after all, it was you Gaoli who are now patting your head and wanting to bring trouble to the west, so that the Great Song Dynasty can fight to the death with the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and you have to know the basic cost of the war.

Immediately, Huang Jie also smiled and pointed to the battle lane parked on the side of the school field: "What I just said is just the armor equipped by my Song army, but now I want to come and see my Great Song siege weapon." ”

After saying that, he also led the two to the chariot and said to the two: "This is the infantry fighting vehicle of my Song army, the vehicle weighs more than 1,400 catties, with iron bones as the lining, old wood as the table, the whole vehicle has been treated with fireproof technology, it can be waterproof and fireproof, the knife can not be broken, and the axe is difficult to destroy." In addition, this car can not only load passengers and goods in peacetime, but also can be spliced into a city construction vehicle array in wartime, which is of great benefit to punctuality. ”

Huang Jie introduced, Yao and Yin also cautiously looked closer, as far as the current situation is concerned, they have naturally seen the battle report about the Song army breaking Pyongyang City, in addition to the section about the Song army's chariot suddenly flying out of the bed crossbow and arrows to wear Cui Zhuo's army and himself into human flesh skewers.

It is not a secret to Goryeo that the Song army has an eight-ox heavy crossbow, because the bed crossbow is also a weapon in Goryeo, but it is not as awesome as the eight-ox crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, but the thing of launching a bed crossbow from a chariot is really a new trick for them, so they naturally have to pay more attention to it.

Since Huang Jie had made up his mind to make trouble, he naturally did not hesitate to give them some sweetness, so he also generously led the two to the inside of the chariot, and ordered someone to open the carriage and the two of them: "In addition, in wartime, three vehicle-mounted versions of heavy bed crossbows can be erected in the car, with a range of 800 steps. ”

After taking off the car board and seeing clearly the three crossbow arms in the carriage that were not only extremely short, but also very small, Yao Sheng and Yin Xin couldn't help but gasp in fright. As I mentioned earlier, Goryeo also has bed crossbows, but the body shape is really inseparable from the word "bed", and even if it is the most finely crafted bed crossbow arm, it has to be the thickness of an adult's calf, and the range is only four or five hundred steps.

Of course, the Korean bow-making skills are also good, and they have mastered the manufacturing process of the tendon-and-angle compound bow very early, but they don't know why they have never been able to open the manufacturing process of the super-large compound bow and crossbow arm, let alone the black technology of the iron-tire bow and crossbow.

Yin Xin's eyes were hot, and after brazenly obtaining Huang Jie's consent, he also carefully got into the car to take a closer look, seeing that he was eager to swallow the crossbow in the car, Huang Jie couldn't help but smile and said: "People come, and test fire for General Yin." ”

Hearing this, the four guards also stepped forward according to the order, and joined hands to move the ratchet to wind a bed crossbow, loaded the arrows and set up the shooting Zhuyuan, opened the front of the car, and calibrated the shooting angle, and then handed over a shooting mallet to Yin Xin. And the series of actions of the four people also dazzled Yin Xin, but after all, he was the son of the former general, and soon his face was full of sudden realization, and immediately Annai was not excited, so he also knocked on the transmitter bracket with a mallet according to the instructions.

With a "bang", a powerful and incomparable force projected a gun and three sword arrows on the crossbow machine, which were as thick as a child's arm. Yin Xin hurriedly jumped out of the car to look into the distance, and saw that the huge crossbow arrow like a javelin crossed a rainbow-shaped parabola in the air like a rainbow, and landed far away at the far end of the school field, which was about seven or eight hundred steps away.

Seeing that Yin Xin's face was instantly red again, and the secret lines on his face were faintly revealed, Huang Jie felt for the first time that his secret lines were very pleasing, whether it was to scare the enemy or show loyalty to the master, it was a good means, so he also smiled: "How?" ”

"What a weapon!" Yin Xin replied sincerely: "The bed crossbow is far away, and the chariot is close to defense, and it is feasible to be stationed in ...... Xia Chen really opened his eyes. ”

Huang Jie also asked: "In this way, General Yin thinks that such a sharp weapon should be worth how much money?" ”

Yin Xin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought carefully in his heart, so he also had the courage to quote a price: "I'm afraid I can't ...... That's a lot, right? ”

Speaking of which, the bed crossbow made by the Goryeo people themselves is not expensive, as far as Yin Xin knows, the cost of a large bed crossbow made by the workshop of the Korean military department is more than 1,000 yuan. It's just that compared with the big Song Dynasty vehicle-mounted version of the bed crossbow he saw now, the price of the two is not comparable at all, not to mention that this chariot not only has a car and wheels, but also has as many as three bed crossbows, and the technology content is so high, no wonder Yin Xin shouted to a high place.
