Especially in the construction of special forces like Gai Hao, Zhang Jiashi also made a painstaking effort.

......

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jiashi decided to try to form a special forces force of about 2,000 people and quite well-equipped.

Zhang Jiashi can be said to have made a lot of money on the equipment of these special forces, especially in terms of armor, Zhang Jiashi chose a kind of composite cowhide with a high cost and light leather paper armor made of paper processed by special production methods.

This kind of leather paper armor is even higher than cowhide armor in terms of lightness, and its defense power is not worse than that of simple cowhide armor, or even slightly better.

In ancient China, paper armor was a simple form of protective armor, made of hard cloth and then prevaricated with paper tendons. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were used by the civil armed forces. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a front chest and iron leaf paper cloth armor. It is mainly used for infantry in southern China, and because of its light body, it is also used by warships and sailors.

"Southern History, Qi Jixia, Dongwu Hou" mentions "paper armor", but in the "New Tang Book" it is recorded that during the time of Tang Xuanzong, Xu Shang invented paper armor in Hezhong Jiedu. There are 13 kinds of armor in the Tang Dynasty, such as chain mail and vest, among which Mingguang, Guangyao, fine scales, Shanwen, Wuxuan, and chains are iron armor. The rest of the armor is made of cloth, silk, wood, etc. In the Tang Dynasty, the armor of the soldiers was not only strong and lightweight, but also gorgeous and beautiful, and the appearance of the armor was generally painted with gold paint and various patterns, which was dazzling, and was used to equip the army, showing that the lineup was strict and majestic.

In April of the first year of Kangding (1040) of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, "the army of Zhaojiangnan and Huainan Prefecture made 30,000 paper armor and gave it to the archers of Shaanxi Fangcheng." "The manufacture and distribution of 30,000 pieces of paper armor at one time shows that this equipment was already an official equipment at that time. After recording this material in volume 12 of Sima Guang's "Records of Lianshui" in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was said that "the edict committee was made by the state army in the distant years". It can be seen that the paper armor of the Song Dynasty was made of old account books, that is, waste paper. Tian Guo, who was the pacification envoy of Shaanxi Province at the time, also said: "The minister sentenced Jiangning Mansion in front of him. Because of the papermaking of the first year, the accounts of the distant years. ”

When Zhendexiu of the Southern Song Dynasty was appointed as the governor of Quanzhou, the Privy Council said: "All the weapons of the village are slightly prepared, but the navy needs paper armor." There are 100 pairs of iron armor in this village, and half of them should be kept today, and 50 pairs of paper armor should be exchanged for this army. In the eyes of today's people, it is inconceivable to use paper armor to defend against swords and arrows, but judging from the twists and turns of Zhen Dexiu. Paper armor is also better defensive than iron armor for bows and arrows.

There is a way to make paper nails, which is to hammer the paper wheel first. Folded into three inches thick, four nails per square inch are nailed, and then cut into nails, if soaked by rain, the arrows are difficult to penetrate. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Wanyan Liang led the army to invade the south, "fled along several places along the Huai, the soldiers and villagers, and the township soldiers were strong and moved tens of thousands, and they had spears and paper armor with them." ”

This kind of leather paper armor researched by Zhang Jiashi. In fact, it is a kind of composite light armor, which is not inferior to the iron armor equipped by the Qin army now in terms of defensive arrows, but it is much lighter in terms of weight, and even effectively improves a certain degree of combat flexibility.

However, in many respects, the defensive ability of this leather paper armor for melee weapons and bed crossbow level weapons is still much worse than that of iron armor, and coupled with the cost factor, Zhang Jiashi only mass-produced 3,000 sets of leather paper armor. It is used to equip these special forces and replace them with attrition, etc.

......

In addition to this new type of light armor, these special forces are also equipped with small individual crossbows that can fire five crossbows in succession, and the cost of this small individual crossbow has also increased greatly due to the corresponding design and materials.

The range of this kind of hand crossbow is worse than that of the ordinary Qin army's light hand crossbows, which is to consider the use of range reductions to increase the life of the corresponding parts of these hand crossbows in order to take into account the service life of these hand crossbows.

During the Warring States period, there were four crossbows: the clamp crossbow, the thin crossbow, the Tang crossbow, and the large crossbow. Clamp crossbows and thin crossbows are lighter. The firing speed is fast, and it is mostly used to attack and defend the fortress; the Tang crossbow and the big crossbow are strong crossbows, although the range is long, but the firing speed is slow, and they are mostly used in vehicle battles and field battles.

"Warring States Policy: Han Ce I": The world's strong bows and crossbows are all from Han, Xizi, Shaofu, Shili, and distance. All shot 600 paces away. Xu Shen's note "Huainanzi True Chapter": Nanfang Xizi barbarian crossbows are all good materials. Han has a Xizi crossbow. Shaofu, the name of the government, the crossbow made by Shaofu. Time force, when it is done, the force is twice as usual, hence the name time force. Distance, when it is distance, "Xunzi Sexual Evil": weak, huge, ancient good bow.

And Zhuge Liang has made a kind of crossbow, called Yuan Rong, the crossbow arrow is made of iron, eight inches long, put ten arrows in a crossbow groove, buckle the plate machine once, you can shoot out from the arrow hole, the arrow in the crossbow groove then falls into the arrow chamber, and then wind, and can continue to shoot.

This also shows that there is no crossbow that can really be fired in bursts, and in many cases, repeaters are actually crossbows that are developed to simplify the loading of crossbows in order to save the time of winding the crossbows.

And Zhang Jiashi's light hand crossbow is actually a simplified version of the Yuanrong crossbow, because in the crossbow string reset effect of the lever, Zhang Jiashi has more continued use, or even direct imitation.

If it weren't for the fact that large crossbows or even bed crossbows weren't an effective lever in this regard, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't mind attaching such gadgets to his army crossbows.

......

In terms of the weapons of these special forces, Zhang Jiashi mainly chose weapons made of stainless steel, and the cost in this regard is the lowest.

However, Zhang Jiashi did not think about equipping these troops with horizontal knives, but when he thought that the strength of horizontal knives could not meet the needs of the current war, Zhang Jiashi finally tried to produce a batch of Miao knives.

The total length of the knife is about 120~160 cm, and the ratio of the thickness of the blade to the width of the blade is about one to three. In the standard equipment of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of horizontal knives and Mo knives can be seen. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, when the general Li Siye led his troops to fight with the enemy, the team was disrupted by the enemy's cavalry. "Ancient Chinese Weapons Treatise" explains: "Mo knife, long knife also." Infantry held. And with a drawing of a long knife. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, among the items given back to Japan was a five-foot long knife (five feet in the Three Kingdoms period is about 130 centimeters in modern times, that is, one foot is 24). 2 cm), and then with the cultural exchanges between China and Japan, the Tang Dynasty knife was introduced to Japan and gradually evolved into today's Japanese sword.

The total length of the knife is five feet, the length of the knife is three feet eight inches, and the handle is one foot and two inches, which combines the characteristics of two weapons: knives and guns. It can be used as both a gun and a knife. It can be held with one hand or with both hands. Because it is easy to exert the overall strength of the lower back when used with one or two hands, and the structure is excellent. Therefore, when the enemy is used, the tossing and turning combo, the speed of the calendar, the body destroys the knife, the knife turns with the person, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the practical value is high, the killing power is great, and the non-ordinary weapons can resist.

And the Miao knife is considered by some to be closer to the Japanese sword. In fact, this is wrong, the biggest difference between the two is the handle and the blade, the Miao knife is only slightly curved, closer to the straight edge, while the Japanese knife is a typical scimitar, the usage is different, the handle of the Miao knife occupies a larger proportion of the whole body, and the handle is very thick. Therefore, Miao Dao swings like a spear; Miao Dao blade is very sharp, Japanese knife blade is also very sharp, Miao knife attaches importance to the use of thorns, Japanese knives rarely use stabs, often "chop", Japanese knife hardness is 58-60, can be higher. But it will make the blade easy to break, on the hardness, the Japanese sword blade is exquisite, but the durability is poor, its disadvantage is that the life is short and can not be repaired, but the Japanese sword in combat to avoid the opponent's weapons bump.

A weapon that cannot collide with enemy weapons on the battlefield. It often can't be a better universal weapon, after all, not every soldier has the kind of martial arts that can compare with the professional.

Therefore, in many cases, weapons that can be used to block are necessary in the eyes of Zhang Jiashi.

Compared to those Glaive knives with medium handles, the Seedling Knife is generally faster in attack, and is relatively more lethal against lightly armored targets.

After all, for the Medium-handled Glaive with a thicker blade, there is still some possibility of overkill for these unprotected or lightly armored targets.

And the 2,000 special forces that attacked this time were basically equipped with these stainless steel Miao knives, in terms of cost, compared to the armor and crossbows on their bodies, these Miao knives took longer to forge.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi's arrangement this time was to try to use these special forces and the swordsmen under his command to form a surprise formation and launch a peripheral offensive against the barracks.

At the beginning of the battle, these Qi officers and soldiers were still unable to detect the special forces that had successfully infiltrated the periphery, and were caught off guard.

And many Qi officers and soldiers use the weapons in their hands to confront these special forces using stainless steel Miao Dao, which often has no benefit, because the weapons in many people's hands are just some long weapons, and Miao Dao can still cut off the wooden poles of these long weapons even if they pay considerable strength.

And when fighting with some officers and soldiers of the Qi army who used big swords, these stainless steel Miao knives did not break for a while. After all, the thickness of this blade and the rather hard material are not something that these iron swords or even bronze swords can easily cut through.

And after these special forces killed and dispersed the Qi officers and soldiers guarding several entrances and exits, they desperately opened the gates of these entrances and exits or delayed the offensive of Qi reinforcements, so as to prevent these areas from falling into the hands of the Qi army again before the main force of the Qin army arrived.

......

What Gao Lian didn't expect was that at this time, in the face of a stainless steel long sword with blood dripping to the ground in his hand, under his own witness, he killed the tun commander of his army one after another, and even the children of more than a dozen Qi soldiers.

He felt that although he was a little older, in terms of the temperament exuded by the other party, he was not the opponent of this little guy who had harvested more than a dozen lives in his hands.

His grip on the weapon began to tremble, and his steps retreated slightly, and he began to regret why he had come to this place.

He wanted to escape from the monster in front of him, but before he could do anything, he saw the other party quickly rushing towards him.

He raised the scimitar in his hand, but before he could make the next move, he felt a sharp pain in his neck......

He clutched his slashed neck in disbelief, and then fell backwards as if out of control.

The last words he heard were:

"Master has said that as long as your enemy is still armed, then he will always be your enemy, whether he is a coward or a brave man. For the enemy, what we have to do is to harvest the lives of the other party. ”

......

For Gai Hao, he didn't feel guilty about killing that boy who couldn't fight much older than him, after all, Gao Lian in front of him still held his own weapon in the end.

If the opponent lays down his weapon, he will not kill the opponent, but since the opponent is still holding the weapon, then he must die, after all, only the dead will not wave the weapon in his hand.

This is what Gai Hao knows.

But Gai Hao also knew that his master had also said that there were some things that could not be explained by common sense. That is, compared to the living, sometimes some dead people are more terrible.

He didn't know why his master would say this, but he looked back slightly, and what he saw was the army of the Great Qin Empire like a tide, constantly rushing towards this place or other entrances and exits......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Controlling several entrances and exits on the periphery of the barracks area that Tian Rong had painstakingly managed, a large number of Qin soldiers launched an offensive inside the barracks area under the command of their respective officers.

The two sides engaged in a large-scale tug-of-war in the area between the barracks area and the county seat of Jixi.

However, many officers and soldiers of the Qi army did not have a strong will to fight for a long time, and were even tired of the idea of dying for Tian Rong.

The troops under Zhang Jiashi's command were still able to achieve a very high degree of obedience to Zhang Jiashi's orders, and for the Qi officers and soldiers who surrendered, these Qin soldiers were still able to generally obey the orders.

......

But Tian Rongke, the king of Xiqi in Jixi County, was not in such a good mood.

Because he knows very well that he will lose so quickly, in a sense, it is more self-inflicted.

But Tian Rong roared at this time: "Qin Dog, if you want my life, you still have to see if you have the ability!!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
