Chapter 281: Heavy Armor
"It's beautiful!" Duo'er said sincerely: "When the Beijing Camp Military Academy is paraded, that's it! ”
The soldiers of the Beijing camp can be said to be the best battalion of the Ming Dynasty, there is a picture in later generations that is the situation when the Beijing camp was reviewed during the Jiajing period, those soldiers of the Beijing camp rode on a tall horse, the general wore a phoenix wing helmet, wore iron scale armor, the bronze mirror on the chest to protect the heart, and held a spear or an eyebrow knife in his hand, hundreds of thousands of people rode horses and galloped on the land on the outskirts of Beijing, that kind of majesty and majesty, so that people felt deeply at first sight.
Of course, the Beijing camp during the Jiajing period was also completely live, there was no combat power at all, Altan Khan led his subordinates to break through the border defense, straight into the Beijing division of the city, there are still two or three hundred thousand Beijing soldiers on the books are not able to fight at all, can only shrink in the city to defend, Jiajing so angry slashed the military department of Shangshu, but killing people can not solve the problem, the Beijing camp soldiers still collapsed.
Chain mail is also the standard equipment of the Beijing camp soldiers, there are a lot of them, the school will wear iron scale armor during the school parade, and the ordinary soldiers are also cotton armor or chain mail, Duoer was once brought into the Beijing division by the general to participate in the school parade, and the situation of the Beijing camp soldiers is very well understood.
"I was wrong." Duo'er followed up and said: "The soldiers of the Beijing camp are just alive, they are too far behind us!" ”
"Mighty and majestic, why is this!" Sun Jingting said with joy in his heart: "This time, our archers really can't be easily seen, this is much more powerful than the border army battalion soldiers!" ”
The situation in front of me really makes people feel extremely shocked and proud.
There were originally some iron armor and cotton armor in the army, most of which were divided by the cavalry, even so the cavalry side was also calling for too little iron armor, which was not conducive to hedging, and a small amount of armor was assigned to the mandarin duck warrior squad, whether it was a small-scale fierce battle or a large-scale battle, these jumping soldiers must be at the forefront of the sharp soldiers, also known as "dead soldiers", their casualty rate is very high, and they bear the important role of driving away the enemy's dead soldiers and stabilizing the large array, so of course, good armor is also assigned to the soldiers first.
The limited armor was scattered, and more than a thousand people gathered to fight and couldn't see anything at all, and the dozens of people in front of them were wearing chain mail with a fairly consistent shape, and the silver light was shining, which made people feel shocked.
"By the way," Sun Jingting said, "Didn't the chain mail give to the soldiers?" ”
The duties of the Military Orders Department do not care about the manufacture and distribution of iron armor, so Sun Jingting will be shocked, and he will have such questions.
At least in his opinion, the chain mail in front of him is really good, all the best fine iron is used, the rings are pulled out with a wire drawing machine with uniform force, the iron ring is polished very smooth, and the inlay buckle is very tight, it can be said that the protection of these chain mail alone, I am afraid that the mainstream cotton iron armor of the Ming border army is much stronger, compared to the ordinary light placket type only to protect the upper body of the iron armor, the protection of this chain mail should not be much worse.
Everyone present knows that the chain mail made by a collar is smaller, the smaller the ring, the more it means that the chain mail is lighter and the stronger the protection, and it feels light and soft on the body, although the weight is more than ten pounds, but it does not affect the wearer's action at all, each collar chain mail is the same process, if it is not for the use of a hydraulic wire drawing machine can provide a steady stream of qualified wire, I am afraid that even if the Ordnance Bureau uses the strength of milk, a month can not make a few collars.
The production process and time required for chain mail are not less than iron scale armor, and if the process is not in place, it is not as good as iron armor in anti-arrow shooting, and in ancient China, it is still an endless stream of strong bows and crossbows, and the process is not up to par, which makes the armor and scale armor is the mainstream, and the chain mail is gradually equipped in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but it is still only an auxiliary type of iron armor, and it has not become the mainstream.
The chain mail in front of him, each collar uses a large number of small iron rings, the craftsmanship is very good, which means that the wear is light and the protection is sufficient, even Sun Jingting can see that the chain mail in front of him is definitely not as good as the iron armor, but compared to the iron cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves, this chain mail is too much stronger.
Zhang Han also has the same opinion, if there is such a level of chain mail in Liaodong, those Jiannu may not treat the chain mail as a big road goods, only its Yu Ding will wear it, or wear it in cotton armor.
"There are two kinds of soldiers," Zhang Han explained his latest idea to Sun Jingting: "One is the mountain soldiers, our Shanxi and Datong are mountainous, this kind of soldiers will be issued chain mail, and at the same time train the mountains to fight, this time the experience of fighting is very valuable." The other is the heavy armor soldiers, who need the strongest combat skills and the best physique soldiers to serve, they are the sharp soldiers who are at the forefront of the big array, not only to face the enemy's dead soldiers and sharp soldiers, but also to face the cavalry raid that may come suddenly, so they have to wear heavy armor, and now they have made a few sixty pounds of full-body armor for their training, of course the chain mail is not issued! ”
The whole body armor is not a mountain armor or a placket type of iron armor, Zhang Han has seen that kind of armor, each collar is more than fifty catties, the hood is made of fine iron, this iron helmet alone is very heavy, then the chain mail part that surrounds the neck, and then the buckle type of upper body armor, including iron arms, and then the iron armor pants on the lower body, including iron-clad boots, such armor is a full-body protection type, and the nail leaves are larger than the ordinary fish scale shape.
This kind of armor is not rare in the nine sides, it is very precious, Zhang Han only got a few pieces by the way of Lai Shenjiang, the cost of this armor is high and scary, Zhang Han's purchase price is one hundred and one, one hundred taels of silver is enough to buy twenty cows, but he chose to buy a armor, so that outsiders will know that he will be scolded as a loser, but Zhang Han still thinks it is worth it.
"I've seen that heavy armor too." Liang Xing said on the side: "I also tried it on, it is too heavy, if I wear it, I will not take a step before the war, I can only ask the auxiliary soldiers to help me carry it, after wearing this heavy armor, I can swing the knife twenty times, raise the shield twenty times, walk five hundred steps, this is the limit, when I took off the armor, I was sweating all over, as if I had just fished out of the well." ”
More than sixty pounds of heavy armor, this is a standard militaristic heavy weapon, ordinary people don't need it at all, Liang Xing used to be a tiger, and he took a ruthless route in fighting, and later became a dart master and a leader, and was by Wang Changfu for a while, and his physical fitness and fighting skills have risen sharply, but it is also at the level between elite soldiers and family members...... This is Wang Changfu's evaluation, Liang Xing's personal strength is not too outstanding.
Zhang Han said with a smile: "This heavy armor has been tried by Jiang Yi, he can swing a knife a hundred times, raise a shield a hundred times, and walk a thousand steps." However, after taking it off, it is also sweaty and heavy, which is similar to you. ”
"I'm a little ashamed of my generals...... Liang Xing was a little embarrassed, according to the habits of the time, the higher the general's martial arts, the more he obeyed the public, and the famous general Liu Dadao of the Sichuan Army used a heavy knife of dozens of catties, and his body was also covered with heavy armor, waving it as a pioneer in battle, so that he was a fierce general who met the standards of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Han said: "I don't want that kind of fierce general, the more fierce the soldiers, the better, and the generals must use their brains well." ”
Zhang Han's goal is to build the best system ahead of its time, and in contrast, the task of opening the gap is not much needed to boost morale.
Sun Jingting said: "I'm afraid that you are only experimenting with this heavy armor, what is it, it has not been decided, right?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Han didn't want to say more at this time, so he only nodded, and then turned his gaze to the small mountain village not far away.
The snow is almost gone, their terrain is condescending, there are hundreds of steps apart, in front, the bird handmen wearing chain mail are still very light to continue to press forward, after they enter a hundred steps, there are sporadic bandit archers out to shoot arrows, but most of the arrows miss, occasionally some shoot very accurately, and almost fluttering without lethality.
In contrast, the bird's guns are much sharper in their counterattacks, although the aim is not very useful, but each round is the cooperation of more than a dozen people, a dozen guns hit over, there will always be one or two hits, after a few rounds, almost no one in the opposite village dares to come out.
"Shouting."
When the time came, Zhang Han finally gave the order.
"Listen to the other side, only punish the evil, kill Yu Shiqian, everything is easy to discuss!"
Hundreds of people shouted together, and after a few rounds of shouting, it is estimated that all the people on the other side heard it, Zhang Han smiled slightly, and said, "That's it today, the pressure is enough." ”
……
Yu Shiqian hid in the military platform and didn't dare to come out, after such a long time, he had never taken a bath, of course he had not combed his hair, the hair on his temples was as long as weeds, and the appearance of the whole person was similar to that of a beggar, only the red fierce light in his eyes was often exposed, so that people still did not dare to offend him easily.
There is also a large firewood pile in the place where he lives, which is left by Yu Shiqian's death order, he can still eat hot food every day, and there is a fire pit to sleep in, and he is the only one in the entire group of nearly 1,000 bandits, he has this privilege.
Yu Shiqian became more and more suspicious, he broke up the subordinates of each leader, and recently his fear of Zhou Daniu has become more and more serious, but Zhou Daniu is not around, and there is a need for someone with the ability to preside over the Jiatai, Yu Shiqian can only endure it.
In the evening, Yu Shiqian ordered some peanuts to be roasted in the embers of the firewood pile, and he sat cross-legged on the pit with his saber in hand.
This knife is sharpened every day, and the water is always smooth and shiny.
There was a sudden noisy noise outside, but the time was very short, Yu Shiqian just wanted to jump out of bed, and then there was no movement, he sat down cross-legged again.
If there is really any change, it will not end so soon, and he is relieved to wait for his own soldiers to come and report to him.
The soldiers did not come, but someone kicked the door open.
The cold wind whistled in, and Yu Shiqian's whole body was excited, and he felt that his hair and hairs all over his body stood up.
Zhou Daniu's sturdy and tall figure was in the front, he stepped over in one step, Yu Shiqian was just about to draw the knife, Zhou Daniu had already jumped on the pit, stepped on his hand with one foot, and held a sharp Qi knife in the other hand, which was inserted into Yu Shiqian's abdomen, stabbing hard, stirring, and pulling.
Yu Shiqian's half-pulled belly was torn, his stomach was directly cut, and he felt a pain in his heart.
I changed it before twelve o'clock, and I caught up today, and I made up another chapter from yesterday.
Of course, I still ask for votes, and don't forget to vote for me.
