"But Master Hou, can you give us a little priority to equip Yang Yong's kind of armor stomach?" Li Xindao, in the past few days, he has seen that other cavalry has just been equipped with new armor, the protection of the bow and arrow can be excellent, especially after the addition of the face armor, the protection of the soldiers is even more up a level, before fighting with the barbarians, many soldiers are facing the arrow, cover because the barbarian archery is excellent, see that it is not easy to penetrate the armor when shot into the body, causing great damage to the soldiers, many arrows are running for the face door, and this kind of armor with face protection has changed this problem.

Ye Qing's change of armor is to take the way from near to far, when changing clothes, because Yang Yong and their 10,000 people are training in Qingyun City, so they will change them first, and Li Xin's army is stationed in Xincheng, it is the farthest army of Qin Wuling, and it is also the largest number of garrisons, so it was left to the end.

"The armor has been prepared for you, but you also know that it is unrealistic to change the clothes of all the armies, and at the moment we can only give you 10,000 sets, and you can see for yourself whether to use them centrally or disperse, and when our craftsmen can imitate them themselves, they will change their costumes on a large scale. Ye Qing nodded.

Li Xin is very satisfied with being able to get 10,000 sets of this kind of armor, he also knows that this kind of armor has indeed not been mass-produced, and the cost is too high, each of them is only a few thousand, and now he can give him 10,000 sets at a time, it can already be seen that Ye Qing does trust himself very much.

"But I can't change this armor to the front, but I still have a gift for you. Ye Qing said with a smile.

Li Xin was very interested, since the Hou Ye gave a gift, this gift must not be an ordinary thing.

"The craftsman camp has come up with a kind of plate armor, which is made of the latest steel, but this thing is too laborious to make, and the craftsmen have to hammer it out one by one, and it is not capable of large-scale production, this kind of plate armor is much better than the Kai armor protection surname you use now!" Ye Qing said with a smile. In fact, this armor was imitated by the blacksmith of the territory.

Now most of the Terran generals use scale armor to decorate pieces of iron, a piece of armor weighs at least dozens of pounds, not to mention heavy, and it is often pierced by weapons at the junction, causing damage to the generals, and this kind of steel plate armor is much better, first the weight drops sharply, which greatly reduces the burden on the generals, can save physical strength well, and the protection can also be greatly improved. It's just a pity that this thing is too laborious to make. If only there was a stamping machine!, Ye Qing often thought to himself. But now, this dream is not necessary, and only a small part of it can be made and equipped for officers.

"I'll send it to you soon! Not much, mainly equipment for middle and high-ranking officers!" Ye Qing said.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Such an unexpected gift made Li Xin extremely happy, on the battlefield, the casualties of generals are the most headaches, it is extremely difficult for a general to train, but a small accident will cause him to suffer casualties, which often makes an army collapse, especially a cavalry-dominated army like Li Xin, although the current system of Qin Wu's leading army has minimized the discovery of this kind of thing, but it is still inevitable that some generals will have accidents, if this problem is solved, his troops' combat effectiveness will be improved.

"Tomorrow I will return to Qingyun City, you are in the new city, while training the troops, you must continue to exert pressure on the grassland, keep sweeping the small tribes, before the first snow of the year, try to fight as many battles as possible, force these tribes to the hinterland of the grassland, increase the logistical burden of the Blood Eagle Tribe, and let the Blood Eagle Tribe have a headache How to feed these people who have taken refuge in him!" Ye Qing said with a smile.

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, I will send troops to fight in turns, one is to achieve the strategic goal of the Hou Ye, and the other is to train the troops, and look at the combat effectiveness of the barbarian standing army, which is really stronger than my department!" Li Xin sighed.

"One army can't change the general trend!" Ye Qing said: "The longer the time, the more obvious our advantages will be." ”

......

Winter goes to spring, the cold wind of Liao Qiao gradually goes away, and the yang rice is not as pale and weak as in winter, and the withered yellow grass "a little bit of bright green is quietly poking out its head, and it is not clear to see it up close, but it is far away, you can see that the undulating earth is mottled, and the green is sandwiched between the withered yellow, as if putting on a flower dress for the earth."

The spring breeze is blowing, the sun is shining, this is a good day to step into spring, but in Qin Wuling, obviously people do not have this mind, Qin Wuling has penetrated into the grassland, and has mastered the new city of attacking the choke point of the grassland, but the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger with the arrival of spring.

Li Xin didn't care at all that the barbarian army would come to attack the new city, for the barbarians, the current new city was basically insurmountable, and the fortification of the city defense here was the strongest and most insidious city defense structure that Li Xin had seen since he joined the army. What's more, the new city has enough soldiers, which can be attacked and defended.

"Everyone, so our new city, in the upcoming war with the barbarians, will definitely not become the main battlefield, according to the judgment of the Hou Mansion, the most likely thing is that the Blood Eagle Tribe will send a force to contain us, so that we cannot break into the depths of the grassland. And their main direction of attack is likely to be the front line of Dagang Town...... "Li Xin glanced at his generals and smiled: "So, everyone, do you have any way to resolve this situation, well, I mean we can be more proactive, and effectively support the front line of Dagang Town, and reduce the pressure on the defense line there, you might as well, there are many people and strength, maybe we can come up with some good ways to ......"

Since Dagang Town was attacked by barbarians last year, Ye Qing has strengthened the defense of the front line of Dagang Town, but when it was really implemented, Ye Qing found that it was really possible to effectively defend Dagang Town.

This Dagang Town didn't seem to have considered that someone would attack it when it was designed, so the defense of his city wall was almost zero, and in this winter, Ye Qing had no chance to repair or rebuild a city, so as a last resort, Ye Qing had to station heavy troops here, but no matter how tightly defended, there would always be loopholes.

"Captain Li, we have hundreds of thousands of horses in our new city, and the cavalry accounts for the majority, and the mobility is extremely strong, as long as the other party is not a standing army, we can take the initiative to attack, defeat the opponent, go further into the grassland, and threaten the foundation of the Blood Eagle Tribe, I don't believe that the Blood Eagle Tribe can still enter the ...... calmly" A cavalry commander said loudly.

Li Xin clapped his hands and smiled: "You are right, but Lord Hou predicts that most of the troops who will contain us at that time will be the standing army led by Anima, and the number may exceed 500,000, but they have the advantage in terms of troops." Besides, Hou Ye meant that he didn't want to have too many casualties, even if we could win a miserable victory, Hou Ye would never agree......"

Commander Wan said in embarrassment: "Captain Li, this is difficult, if you want to defeat such a strong enemy without major casualties, this possibility is almost ...... very small."

"Let's wait and see!" Generals "In the early stage of the war, Qin Wuling's strategy was to hold the battle line steadily, take each fortified city as the heart, establish a defensive heart one by one, and wear down the opponent's strength and patience" and the people who exceeded the defensive heart must retreat to the city of Qin Wuling, and within Qin Wuling of nearly 100 miles from the front line, the strong walls are clear, so that the barbarians cannot find a single grain and a little material that can be used. Li Xin said with a smile: "Hou Ye said, we first exchange space for time and wait for the best time to appear......

"The best time...... "Many generals don't quite understand when this is the best time" "Captain Li, if the standing army cuts off the connection between us and Yangcheng, then our logistics supply will have problems......

"It's impossible to cut it off completely...... "He can only harass, small-scale harassment can't do much effect, a large army attacks, hehe, Anima will be so stupid, he really dares to cut between my new city and Yangcheng "I don't mind a pinch with the army of Yangcheng and the end of the ......"

Li Xin looked at the walled houses that stretched out along the new city, but his mind was thinking about other things.

In the past winter, it was a period of rapid development of Qin Wuling, especially in terms of force, with the assistance of those elixirs and spiritual wines brought back by Ye Qing, the individual strength of Ye Qing's army had been improved as a whole.

Li Xin and other marquis rank lieutenants, due to the accumulation of time, so there is not much improvement in the martial arts realm, but it has made up for the foundation, laying a solid foundation for being able to quickly promote to a higher realm in the future, and has also obtained several sets of martial arts brought back by Ye Qing from the ancient battlefield, and his personal combat power has been greatly improved.

The second is the commander of the handsome class, in the past, due to the scarcity of handsome rank warriors, Ye Qing army could not even find so many handsome rank warriors to of course captain Wanfu, more importantly, the commander of the army is already a middle-level officer in Ye Qing's army, not only can be competent by force, but also must have a certain military command ability, so although Ye Qing has millions of troops, but he does not dare to take the initiative to attack the barbarians, because of the lack of officer command.

But after this winter's assault training, although Ye Qing's army is not said to be handsome, it is at least equipped with a qualified captain and two deputy captains, including the garrison.

As for the remaining thousand-commander and hundred-point commander, there were countless in Ye Qing's army, and the number of qualified officers had even exceeded the number of officers needed.

However, these people have been trained by emergency assault, and there are still some problems in the practical application of the run-in of the army, and there is no problem in fighting an ordinary war, but if it encounters the standing army of the barbarians, what problems will arise, but it is not something that Ye Qing can predict, which is why Ye Qing has never wanted to take the initiative to attack the barbarians.
