Chapter 213: Artisan Camp (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
Su Jun smiled and said:
"There are still countless elite soldiers on the training ground, only after the test of the battlefield, can they really transform, this point, you can learn more from the commander of Deng Biao and the ghost face knight who are not the flying army, they used to be my personal guards, but they are all real swords and guns, and they are good at killing barbarians."
Then Su Jun seemed to think of something again, raised his eyes and looked around, and asked, "The chariot drawings I asked people to send, can you find a craftsman to design them?" ”
Shi Tiansheng took a step forward and said: "Master Su, it has been developed a few days ago, but we are not very good at the use of chariots, and everyone is also exploring how to use chariots, I don't know what Su Ye can teach us?" “”
Su Jun shook his head and said: "For the use of the chariot, I just formed a prototype in my mind, and how to arrange the tactics still needs to be explored and developed by the military candidates and commanders here.
In any case, the tank is a very useful combat unit, especially if we have a greater advantage in our battles with the barbarians.
The barbarians are brave and good at fighting, and they are rich in war horses, and their cavalry is the advantage, while we are the opposite, we have many men and few horses, and the infantry is the main force in battle.
The cavalry charge can quickly disrupt the infantry formation in a very short time, and we can rely on the chariot to effectively stop the cavalry charge, as long as we use it properly, it is definitely a great weapon on the battlefield. ”
The chariots in Su Jun's design drawings are divided into two types, one is similar to a catapult, and the main purpose is to siege cities and plunder land.
Catapult, as the name suggests, is a chariot that can launch boulders, this kind of chariot can use the gravity principle of levers and counterweights to launch huge stones out and destroy the enemy's city walls.
And the second type of chariot is what Su Jun just said, this kind of chariot is similar to a combination of a knife cart and a partial box car, and Su Jun named it the Saimen knife car.
This kind of car is erected on three sides of the half-human high shield, which can be used as a cover, effectively dodging the enemy's bow and crossbow arrows, and the front of the front of the car is equipped with 24 bright steel knives, when using the car to push the car to the gap in the city gate, which can not only kill and injure the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones.
Shi Tiansheng continued:
"Now the artisan battalion has produced and delivered to us a hundred Saimen knife carts, five corps, each equipped with twenty vehicles. According to the general's plan, each army will be equipped with at least 200 combat vehicles, which is still far from our plan. ”
Su Jun nodded and said: "Don't worry, take your time, now our infantry corps, the arms are too single, so if we really fight, we will still suffer, we must hurry up to update the arms and achieve diversified operations."
When Yuan Chongwen heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked: "General, do you say that our armies will add new troops?" ”
Su Jun smiled: "Why not? In the future, I will also equip all armies with archers, cavalry, and engineers, so that every branch of the army in Bei'an County will be rich and diverse, and when we are fully equipped, I will strive to achieve a full strength of 20,000 people. ”
Hearing that the army should also be equipped with cavalry, Shi Tiansheng, Yuan Chongwen and others suddenly felt a burst of joy, but Yu Dayou, who had a good relationship with Gao Zhong in private, hurriedly asked:
"Master Su, if each army is equipped with cavalry, what about the ghost-faced cavalry under the command of Gao Pet? Is it going to be divided by us? ”
Su Jun laughed, thinking that Gao Gao, who was usually as cold as ice, could become good friends with Yu Dayou, and couldn't help laughing softly:
"Don't worry, Gao Zhong is the old man next to me, can I still snub him? Not only can the Ghost Faced Cavalry not move, but I am also ready to train the Ghost Faced Cavalry and the Wudang Flying Army into two special independent troops, as our ultimate killer weapon, and the military strength of Bei'an County will only become stronger and stronger in the future. ”
Opening the chatterbox, Su Jun explained endlessly, and he had the feeling of confiding out the thoughts in his heart, and couldn't help but continue:
"In my plan, I will add heavy cavalry to the ghost-faced cavalry in the future, and that is the real chariot meat grinder?"
For a class like a heavy armored knight, in this world, no one has ever put it into use, everyone was suddenly surprised, and asked in unison:
"Heavy cavalry? What kind of class is that?"
Even Yuan Chongwen, who was well-informed and strategic, was puzzled and asked:
"Could it be a powerful and heavily armored samurai who emulated the armor barbarians? But those monsters have been specially trained since childhood, how can the war horse carry the heavily armored knights? ”
Su Jun laughed and said mysteriously:
"You don't have to worry about this, General Ben has his own clever plan, I don't have time to do it now, when I have time in the future, make a sample for everyone to see, and you will all understand."
Shi Tiansheng laughed dryly, since Su Ye said that it can be done, then it will definitely be possible, and leave all the problems to General Zhenbei to consider, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and asked:
"Master Su, but our military system of Dawu, an army can only have a maximum of 10,000 people? Would there be any problems if we expanded the army to 20,000 privately? Cause the rest of the Imperial War Department to be dissatisfied? ”
Yan Qinghua said with a coquettish smile:
"What's not to do? Kang Renzhi can create a system of centralized power with that straw bag, isn't Wang Ting the same and hasn't openly opposed anything? Besides, as long as we allocate 10,000 people for our army, we will add the rest of our own money, and in that way to strengthen the strength of the border pass, the royal court may still steal the fun. ”
Seeing the mighty chariots, Su Jun temporarily decided to go to the newly established craftsman camp to have a look, the location of the craftsman camp is not far from the barracks, only a few miles away, because the personnel in the artisan camp have good salaries, so although it has just been established, it is overcrowded.
As a department that Su Jun values very much, the conditions in the craftsman camp are naturally very good, the place where the craftsmen work and rest is built spacious and bright, in order to prevent people from coming to make trouble, in the vicinity of the craftsman camp, Su Jun directly stationed five thousand commanders to ensure the safety here.
The artisan battalion has now basically become Su Jun's private arsenal, and thousands of craftsmen with special skills hired from various villages and towns in Bei'an County, along with thousands of their families, have been placed here, and each craftsman has been granted land near Yaocheng, five acres per person, and a family with twenty acres of land if there are Sikou people, which makes the craftsmen in the other two counties feel extra greedy.
You must know that even the craftsmen in the bustling big city, in addition to the experienced masters, other small craftsmen can only get a meager salary, barely able to live, but the craftsmen who settle down in Bei'an County, each family not only has silver, but also can receive an additional ten or twenty acres of land, which is very unimaginable in the whole Anning.
