"New gear?"

As soon as Mo Jun said this, the rest of the people in the tent looked at him one after another, revealing a bit of curiosity in their eyes.

"Equipment made of a new type of material, because the forging technology is not mature enough, so it is still in the testing stage, if you are interested, you might as well take a look together?"

Mo Jun opened his mouth and invited.

When the many generals in the camp heard Mo Jun's words, they glanced at each other, and they all saw some interested expressions in each other's eyes.

"Since Shengping Jun invited, then it would be disrespectful for me to wait."

Mo Jun's shot must be a high-quality product.

This has almost become a consensus in today's Qin State.

So when Mo Jun said 'new equipment', even Wang Jian and Meng Fu couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity in their hearts.

Everyone followed Mo Jun to the armory camp.

Finally, in a corner of the ordnance camp, everyone saw what Mo Jun called the so-called 'new equipment'.

It was five thousand sets of weapons and armor, and the shape of the armor was not much different from the shape of the black armor of the Qin State, the only difference was that these five thousand sets of armor were silver-black, and the whole body exuded the reflection of the cold.

"This ······ Is that what Sheng Pingjun called 'new equipment'? ”

Someone couldn't help but speak.

Although these five thousand sets of weapons and armor do look mighty, they don't seem to have much special compared to the armor that the Qin State currently has.

"Not bad."

As if he didn't see the 'doubt' in the man's eyes, Mo Jun went straight to the front of the five thousand sets of 'new equipment', and casually took out a sheathed long sword from it and threw it to Meng Tian, saying.

"General Meng might as well try it and see if these equipment go well?"

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Although Meng Tian also didn't see anything special about these five thousand sets of 'new equipment', out of the duty of a soldier, he still took the long sword thrown by Mo Jun and responded with a serious expression.

Zheng!

Meng Tian pulled out his long sword, and in an instant, a crisp sword sound sounded.

Hearing this sword sound, many generals who didn't care much about it just now changed their expressions, and in the next second, they saw Meng Fu directly pull out a bronze sword from the waist of the guard beside him, and said to Meng Tian.

"Touch it."

Meng Fu's words were concise and to the point, but Meng Tian, who was the grandson of Meng Fu, instantly understood the meaning of Meng Fu's words, and he didn't hesitate and came directly to Meng Fu with his sword.

When the rest of the generals present saw this, they all moved their positions in the middle one after another, and stared intently at the grandfather and grandson in the center of the field at a distance of seven or eight feet.

Clang!

The next moment.

I saw Meng Fu and Meng Tian swing the long sword in their hands at the same time, neither of them used too much strength, but when the firelight splashed, everyone around clearly saw a sword blade fragment about the size of a fingernail, which flew into the air.

"Which sword is this?"

Seeing this fragment, this question almost immediately appeared in the hearts of everyone present.

Soon.

The crowd got the answer.

When Meng Fu and Meng Tian withdrew their long swords at the same time, the surrounding generals followed the long swords held by the two of them, and saw a huge gap visible to the naked eye on the blade of the bronze sword in Meng Fu's hand.

On the other hand, the silver-black long sword in Meng Tian's hand, although the blade was also broken, was only the size of a grain of rice.

Which is stronger and which is weaker.

It's clear at a glance.

Seeing this result, Wang Qian, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said to Meng Tian: "The sword is for the old man to see." ”

As soon as Wang Qian, who was the commander-in-chief, spoke, the generals who were originally curious about the sword in Meng Tian's hand suddenly died down and retracted the idea of letting themselves see it first.

Meng Tian held the sword in both hands and handed it to Wang Qian.

The moment Wang Jian reached out to pick up the sword, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

After flicking his fingers, everyone only heard a 'ding', and the sword body of the entire long sword immediately swayed a layer of sword waves like water waves.

See this scene.

Wang Qian, who could barely maintain his calm before, instantly brightened up in his eyes and said loudly: "Cai! It is really a good weapon, although it is sharp and hard, but it is only slightly stronger than a bronze weapon. ”

"However, bronze is too rigid and easy to break, and this sword has a toughness that bronze does not have. With such a material, forging a weapon of the same length may only require half the weight of bronze to be forged······"

Bronze is hard and brittle, so in general, bronze cast weapons are not too long. For the same length of sword, the width and thickness of a bronze sword can often be more than double that of an iron sword.

Originally, when they heard the first half of what Wang Jian said, the generals didn't react much.

But when they heard the second half, everyone's expressions changed instantly, if the sword that Mo Jun took out was only superior in performance, then everyone might be surprised, but not so much of a fuss.

But when they heard that Meng Tian's sword weighed only half of the bronze sword, the situation was different in an instant.

Because the weight of forging a longsword is only half, does that also mean that the weight of armor in the same class is only half?

That's it.

Many generals immediately turned their heads to look at Mo Jun······ To be precise, looking at the five thousand sets of armor in front of him, at this moment, Mo Jun actually had the illusion of being targeted by a group of hungry wolves.

On the battlefield.

For a weapon of the same quality, the lighter the better, because in many cases, weight is also a type of attack power.

But with armor of the same defensive power, the lighter the better.

A sharp but sharp weapon is important, but in the era of cold weapons, the real core equipment is always armor, which is why all dynasties have never banned armor and not swords.

"Lord Shengping-kun, can you let me wait for a look at these armors?" Someone clasped his fists in excitement and saluted.

"Generals, please."

Mo Jun stretched out his hand, signaling that everyone could act at will.

After getting Mojun's permission, a group of generals couldn't hold back any longer, and they all got into the weapon pile excitedly, some people picked up a set of armor to weigh it, some people reached out to test the quality of these armors like knocking on a watermelon, and even put a set of armor directly on themselves, and at the same time handed the bronze sword on their waist to the person next to him, asking him to draw his sword and cut it at himself.

And the general who received the bronze sword also simply pulled out the bronze sword and slashed at the other party with a sword.

Bell it.

The bronze sword was directly shattered by the armor, and a spark was splashed.

In hindsight, I saw that there was only a white mark on the armor, and a very small pit, and although the armor on it was deformed, it was not shattered like the previous bronze armor.

"Hahaha, good armor, good armor."

Seeing this result, the general who had a trace of concern before suddenly burst out laughing.

"The weight of the new armor is only half of the previous one, but the defensive power is not inferior to the previous armor. In the past, my old Yang only thought it was a boast, but when I saw it today, it was because I had little knowledge. ”

"If it weren't for the immortal coming into the world, how could ordinary people create such a divine armor, if my Great Qin soldiers wore this armor in battle in the future, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army would be at least increased by more than fifty percent."

This trial general was named 'Yang Duanhe', and he was also one of the famous generals of the Qin State.

At this time, he seemed extremely excited, and it is no wonder that in this day and age, a good suit of armor is almost more eye-catching for a general like him than a stripped beauty.

After all, losing a beautiful woman is a bit of a loss at most, but if you lose your armor on the battlefield, you will die.

Just when everyone is happy and excited about the quality of these 'new equipment'.

Suddenly.

A voice rang out, instantly silencing everyone.

"The quality of this armor is indeed amazing, but dare to ask Sheng Pingjun, how is the output of these new equipment?"

As soon as this sentence came out, many of the generals who were originally excited in the camp also suddenly quieted down.

Oh, yes!

No matter how good the quality of the armor is, if it is too small, it will not be of much use.

And looking at the amount of armor in the current camp, it seems that this kind of armor is not particularly easy to produce, otherwise with the current productivity of the Qin State, how could it only produce 5,000 sets of armor.

Facing everyone's gaze, Mo Jun was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The current production of this armor is indeed not high, but it is ······."

Hearing Mo Jun's first half of the sentence, everyone was a little disappointed in their hearts, but they never thought that Mo Jun suddenly had another big gasp, and then grinned at everyone.

"However, if the next research goes well, then the production of this kind of armor in the future will even be more than the output of bronze armor in my Great Qin today."

"After all, this kind of armor is forged from 'iron', and the amount of iron ore found in the Qin State is not inferior to copper ore at all."

Mo Jun's words made the generals surprise and a little surprised.

Iron?

Armor of this quality was actually cast from a 'stone' that was more fragile than bronze?

The iron-smelting technology of the Great Qin is not superb, and the bronze technology of the Qin State has developed to a peak, but the iron-smelting technology is only in its infancy.

In the cognition of the vast majority of old Qin people, iron is an extremely fragile gold tool.

On the contrary, some far-sighted people have seen some relatively hard iron tools in other countries, but in general, the highest iron-smelting technology in the Central Plains is only of the same quality as the bronze ware cast in the Qin State.

It can well be imagined.

Mo Jun suddenly used the material of 'iron' to create a weapon that far surpassed that of bronze, what a surprise it was for these Qin generals.

However, surprise is surprise, and soon many generals don't care about it.

After all, these people are all big and rough in the barracks, and they are good at marching and fighting, but if they really want to study what iron smelting, forging and other processes are, it is not much different from playing the piano against the cow.

Compared to the forging process of this material.

At the moment, they are more concerned about what to do with these weapons and equipment.

As the saying goes, 'a good horse deserves a good saddle'.

This group of people are all generals who have been fighting on the battlefield in the barracks for half their lives, and now they suddenly see a batch of such good weapons and equipment, it is impossible to say that they are not greedy at all.

However, it is a pity that these weapons and equipment have already been allocated to Meng Tian by Mo Jun just now.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed here, it's just five thousand sets of armor, and now the number of soldiers invested by the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Wei on the frontal battlefield is close to one million, and Daqin has already invested 100,000 in the vanguard armor alone."

"Now there are only 5,000 sets of new equipment, even if you get your hands on it, it won't make a splash on the battlefield today. Rather than exposing these 'new equipment' now, it is better to use them as hole cards and not expose them to the vision of other countries for the time being. ”

"According to what Sheng Pingjun said, these five thousand sets of new equipment will be temporarily handed over to Meng Tian to take to Northern Xinjiang, and let those wolf clans test the performance and quality of these new equipment first."

Seeing that a group of generals in the camp were all staring at the five thousand sets of armor in the corner, Meng Fu couldn't see the inner thoughts of this group of guys.

However, since Mo Jun had already spoken to allocate these equipment to Meng Tian just now, as Meng Tian's grandfather, Meng Tian naturally wanted to say a few words for Meng Tian at this time.

Otherwise, now Meng Tianren is soft-spoken, in case he is accidentally pulled into the pit by these old people, then his Meng family will suffer a big loss.

In a place like the battlefield, you have to eat everything, but you can't suffer losses.

I saw Meng Fu speak.

A group of generals around each smashed their mouths, and they also retracted their careful thoughts with regretful faces.

In fact, Meng Fu was not wrong just now, although this new type of equipment is very good, but it is really difficult to play a decisive role in the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms today, with only 5,000 sets.

The main reason is that now the three countries have invested too many troops on the frontal battlefield.

Normally.

The ratio of the military strength of various countries is generally one-tenth of the vanguard elite, two-tenths ~ about four-tenths of the backbone military strength, and the remaining strength is logistics.

This is the regular ratio of an army.

However, on the battlefield today, although the Qin State has only invested 400,000 troops, because the national strength of the Qin State has been growing stronger in recent years, the quality of the army has naturally improved rapidly.

Among the 400,000 troops invested by the Qin State this time, the number of vanguard elite armor soldiers alone accounted for almost 100,000.

Of the remaining 300,000, 100,000 are the backbone of the army, and the last 200,000 are logistical support.

Although the 'new armor' forged from steel is powerful, compared to the armor of the Qin State today, it actually does not reach that transcendent crushing.

A simple comparison.

If two armies with similar soldier quality are allowed to wear the armor and new armor of the Qin State respectively, Mo Jun's new armor can do one or two at most.

Other words.

Five thousand sets of armor on the battlefield to destroy up to 10,000 enemy elites.

This doesn't do much in the frontline battlefield at all.

Moreover, this is still a situation where the two sides are fighting head-on, in fact, with the disadvantage of the Zhao-Wei coalition army now, the Qin army is fighting siege warfare most of the time.

In this case, the advantages of the new equipment are even lower.

It was precisely because he realized that he had misjudged the situation on the frontline battlefield that Mo Jun would let Meng Tian take away the five thousand sets of armor.
