One hundred and ninety-third ironclad
"The people who told you to keep an eye on her, and when the time comes, as soon as the Dongwei people contact her, you will close the net!"
Andy slammed his fist on his chest: "Yes! ”
I will never let her escape this time.
Andy had just left when Corey knocked on the door and came in.
"Young Master, the support of Saganis City has arrived!"
"Oh? So fast? Morey was a little surprised, he had thought that these reinforcements would not arrive until he went to the front.
The messenger had only left yesterday afternoon, and this morning the procession had arrived, and it seemed that the procession had set out with the messenger, and if Morey had rejected them, they would have returned halfway, and if they had accepted it, they would have saved most of their time.
Morey smiled and said to Corey, "The kindness of the Eugene family master is very strong! ”
Since the reinforcements had arrived, Morey did not put on a show, and immediately led people out of the city gate to greet them.
"This ......" When Morey arrived at the scene, he almost didn't pee his pants.
In front of him were sixty-seven heavily armored knights in full armor, the horses were fine military horses, the army was black in one color, and the armor was naturally polished and shiny, but you could still see the sword marks and hammer depressions all over the armor, which was enough to prove that this was a real cavalry unit, not a foolish boy scout.
It's just that this white-headed head is what's going on!
This is not a Boy Scout, this is an elderly army!
"Boy Morey, what kind of eyes do you have, do you look down on us old guys!" Seeing Morey's shocked expression, Bernard, who led the team, immediately became furious.
As soon as these words came out, the knight's eyes on horseback immediately became unkind.
"No, no, Baron Bernard......"
"Don't call me Baron, I'm now the captain of the Radiant Lion Cavalry of the Faist family!" The old man refuted without giving face.
How dare you look down on the Radiant Lion Cavalry, I don't know if it's the name it took me a day to come up with?
"Well, okay Captain Bernard, we welcome you here! The journey is tiring, why don't you go to the barracks first? Johnson, why don't you take your old heroes to the barracks to rest! ”
Morey immediately pulled the tall Johnson over and made a human flesh baffle.
"Hmph, let's go!" The old man was still a little indignant before leaving, and glared at Morey fiercely, then he pulled his horse and followed Johnson to the military camp outside the city.
"Whew!"
It wasn't until he saw them go away that Morey breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you disappointed, Morey!" Hobert, who came with the team, looked at Morey amusedly.
"No, no, these old people are still quite energetic!"
Morey didn't dare to speak ill of Bernard, otherwise what would this stubborn old man do when he heard it and blocked his door in a fit of anger?
"Do you also think that they are too old to wield a knife on the battlefield?" Hobart asked with a smile.
"Huh!"
Morey could only play dumb at this time.
Hobart suddenly put away his previous joke and said seriously: "Bernard and his team members are all precious seeds left by the family during the reclamation period, although they may not be able to fight for a long time now, and they can't wield their sabers, but their experience can teach your recruits and let more people survive this battle!" ”
Morey then understood why Eugene sent such a grandfather-level cavalry team, it turned out that this was not the forward regiment, this was the teaching regiment!
In order to deal with the now imminent invasion of the East and the impending defense of the beast tide, Morey inevitably began his army expansion.
It is true that Johnson is a good hand at training troops, but Johnson can kill the generals and capture the flag as a member of the team, and it is impossible for Morey to overkill him and put him in the rear to continue training.
Before, Morey was still thinking about whether to transfer some backbone troops from the Far Eastern Army to train the militia, but now that Eugene directly sent him a teaching group, it solved his urgent need.
To be able to gain a foothold and survive the pioneering period of a wild land like the Far East, these warriors' own experiences are a living guide to battlefield survival, and there is no better instructor than this.
"Then I'll order someone to prepare a place for Captain Bernard and them, it's not good to train soldiers and live outside the city, our militia camp is in the city, it's better to live directly in my city lord's mansion, anyway, there are more rooms!"
"It's okay, but Captain Bernard's room won't be prepared." Hobert nodded.
"Oh, I know Captain Bernard is going back with you, right?" No wonder the stubborn old man just now had such a big temper, and he was a dart in his feelings!
"No, he's going to the front!"
"Hey......"
......
"Boy Morey, I didn't blow it, I killed three ogres with one [homeopathic slash]! The intestines, the heart, the liver, and the lungs have flowed all over the place, and the death will be miserable! ”
"Why, you don't believe it!" Seeing that Morey was hesitant, the two long beards under Bernard's nose blew again.
"Believe, believe, how could I not believe?" Morey hurriedly held down the old General Bernard, who was about to perform a one-knife three-cut stunt, and at the same time handed his eyes to Hyde and Balta, who were on the side.
"Yes, yes! We all believed that we had heard of Captain Bernard slashing three ogres to death since we were young. ”
"yes, we were all stunned!"
It was easy to fool the white-haired general away, and Corey took Green to Morey.
"Green, I'm going to give you an important task........"
Green immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"You're ...... right now"
After Morey finished speaking, he patted Green on the shoulder: "Green, whether we can win this time or not depends on you!" ”
"Don't worry, city lord! I'm going to get the job done! Green said respectfully.
"I believe in you!"
......
Murry Park, forging workshop.
Ten huge steam hammers roared here, and every time the hammer was raised, workers took out the die-cast pieces of armor and put new iron on them.
As far as Morey stood and observed, hundreds of pieces of armor had been forged.
To make this latest Murray iron armor, only 28 armor leaves are needed, which means that if you don't count the binding of the blanket and Piso, in just 1 minute, these ten steam hammers can forge 4 pieces of Murri iron armor.
It is 240 pieces in an hour, and 2400 pieces can be completed in 10 hours a day.
In about 9 days, you can complete the refitting of the Far Eastern Army and your own army in Red Leaf City.
Of course, the nail leaves still have to go through the process of piercing and installing the blanket and leather cord, but it is more relaxed, and these tasks are enough to be completed in 30 days.
As soon as the number passed through Morey's mind, even he himself was shocked.
In the world of Becky, even if the lord wants to change the clothes of his hundreds of guards, it is very difficult, the plate armor is too expensive to buy, and the cloth armor is cheap, but the equipment and equipment of this militia configuration have no deterrent effect at all, thinking about it, it is still the most economical leather armor, and the price of a set of 10 gold coins is not scaring people to death.
But the deposit is paid, the goods are delayed, if you go to ask those arms dealers to ask, they will always shirk for various reasons, if you are interested, and pay a "activity fee" equivalent to the goods, this leather armor may be able to arrive on time, if not, hehe, not long ago in the Far East there was a small nobleman who got a windfall, the batch of leather armor that his uncle who died early ten years ago finally arrived.
It's hard to change the small lords, so the Far Eastern Army, as a regular army, shouldn't have this problem?!
Of course.... No!
Naturally, the regular army will not be subjected to too much trouble from these arms dealers when it comes to replacing its armor collectively, after all, it is a big business, and it is also necessary to pay attention to maintenance.
But this price has become a headache, because of the low productivity of the Becky world, this weapon and equipment has always been in a relationship of supply and demand, if a large number of military materials are made by themselves, if you want to buy them in large quantities in the market, it is no less than a difficult battle no less than diplomatic negotiations.
Being able to supply goods on time is already their most sincere performance, and it is basically impossible to have any special discounts like Morey's previous life. Even if the country needs to use troops, the price will rise slightly.
In the case of the Far Eastern Army, it costs 200,000 gold coins to replace the leather armor of ordinary soldiers alone, and the cost of defense alone is more than 400,000 gold coins, including the bust and full-body armor of those middle-level officers.
This is naturally a drag for the Holy Spear Kingdom, which only has two or three million military expenditures in peacetime.
Now the Holy Lance Kingdom rotates a legion to collectively change equipment during non-war times every year, and the equipment update of the Far Eastern Army has been 3 years ago, and if you want to change it at the earliest, you will have to wait until next year when the Royal Capital Praetorian Guard is redressed, and it will not be possible until the year after tomorrow.
Compared with the high price of 200 gold coins for the prototype of Murry's iron armor, the lite version of the 28 armor leaves made by Goude only costs 20 gold coins, and the cost has dropped to 10%.
Although Gode cut off the configuration of leg armor, shin armor and elbow pads because of this, if there is really an iron armor with this configuration on the market, not to mention 20 gold coins, even 100 gold coins are also rushed to buy.
In their view, injuries to the limbs were far less dangerous to the soldiers than the chest and abdomen, and the warriors with armor (iron armor) were far more courageous than those who could only fight in leather armor and cloth armor.
If it weren't for the fact that the profiteers didn't want to disassemble and sell it, they would have wanted to replace it all with the upper body, and the cuirass part of the gold they paid the arms dealers accounted for at least two-thirds of the value.
It can be said that if Morey puts this improved Murry iron armor on the market, it will inevitably set off storms, but at this stage, it is impossible for Morey to take out the production to make trade.
When Morey took out a thousand pieces of Murry's iron armor and gave a large group of the Third Army in the Far East to change their clothes en masse, everyone only thought that Morey was crazy.
For many years, only the aristocracy took advantage of the country, how could they subsidize the country by themselves, and as soon as they made a move, they collectively replaced it with iron armor, spending at least one or two hundred thousand dollars.
"Is this Morey crazy?"
