It is said that after the Quyang New Army withdrew from Langya City, the order of Langya was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The market has regained its vitality, and civilians have dared to go out, gathering in twos and threes to exchange the latest news.

Langya City, a piece of harmony.

Nothing seems to have changed except that the green flag of the Yue State has been replaced with the red and yellow flag of the Chu State...... Even the soldiers defending the city were familiar faces.

Of course, their gear has been given a new look!

Shi Er, who was sitting in the industrial park, immediately contacted the grandmasters of the military family after receiving Xiong Wuliang's order, and designed the armor that was most suitable for mountain warfare in accordance with Xiong Wuliang's consistent local tyrant style of 'not cost-effective, as long as the most bullish'.

In other words, the armor of the Quyang New Army is leather armor inside, iron armor outside, iron helmet mask on the head, and leather boots with armor pieces - a proper top heavy infantry.

If it weren't for the strict selection and training of the Quyang New Army...... Just such an armor, and then equipped with an iron-clad solid wood shield, a crossbow, a short sword at the waist, thirty arrows, a long ge, or a short halberd - ordinary people just wear it and stand, I'm afraid they won't be able to last long.

As for the armor of the cavalry, it is mainly light and frontal protection - the leather armor worn inside covers the whole body, but the iron armor covered only half of the front breastplate.

But the protection of their legs and feet was more luxurious than that of the Quyang New Army—thick socks on the inside, tight iron-locked soft armor on the outside, and thick fine iron leggings on the outermost.

With the cuirass, when the cavalry hedges, it will have an advantage.

And the thick leg protection gives these cavalry the courage to raise their lances and charge directly into battle when the enemy's infantry formation is slightly broken!

It is said that the knights of the cavalry army can crush the light cavalry of the same era with equipment on their bodies.

However, it is not really a heavy cavalry.

After all, a real heavy cavalry, even if there are no auxiliaries, must at least be able to achieve one person and two horses. Otherwise, it is really impossible to rely on a war horse with heavy armor and a knight to march and charge.

There is no shortage of people in the Chu State, and Xiong Wuliang is not short of money, but ...... Lack of horses.

The real heavy cavalry really can't be played.

So Xiong Wuliang could only retreat to the next best thing and engaged in such a 10,000 cavalry army, which can be regarded as a reduced version of the heavy cavalry.

Now, Xiong Wuliang has another 10,000 fierce barbarian troops under his command!

The armor of the brutal army, compared with the Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army, is different-

The brutal army has no leg armor, only half of the body leather armor, and only in the chest and abdomen and other critical positions, the fine iron armor is stitched as a shield.

As for the helmet, it is a lightweight iron scarf - the inner lining is extended, and it looks like a soft cloth under the helmet to protect against mosquito bites in the mountains and forests.

On the whole, it is a key word - light!

On the basis of lightness, strive to achieve the ultimate protection!

If there was one thing that stood out most about the brutals, it was their shoes—all the soldiers were given three pairs of studded cowhide boots with padded footpads, one on their feet, and the other two with small bronze hooks that could be hung on a belt around their waists.

It is important to know that in the mountains and forests, guerrillas, marches, and surprise attacks, the protection of individual soldiers is actually not so important - because the trees and shrubs in the mountains and forests are natural shelters.

Therefore, not only did the fierce barbarian army have lighter armor, but their weapons were rarely equipped with thick shields like the Quyang New Army, and even small shields like the Xiao Cavalry Army were almost non-existent.

Only a few soldiers were equipped with rattan plates.

They didn't have a lance or a halberd - a short sword and a wooden spear that wasn't too long, which was standard.

Shoes are consumables for mountain warfare, and this is the main consideration of the military masters—the brutal army has high-quality studded cowhide combat boots, which can greatly increase the speed of marching and prevent the soles of their feet from being cut on bad roads.

With these boots, the soldiers can maintain a higher movement speed in the worst road conditions in the mountains and forests, while avoiding accidental injuries.

For mountain and forest operations, this will undoubtedly greatly enhance combat effectiveness!

All in all, the armor of the brutal army is the lightest and quite distinctive.

If the Quyang New Army is the strongest heavy infantry in the world, and the Xiao Cavalry Army is the strongest comprehensive cavalry in the world...... Then the newly formed fierce barbarian army is the strongest light infantry in the world!

In the frontal battlefield, the brutal army will definitely not be able to defeat the Xiao cavalry army and the Quyang new army.

But in some specific terrain, or when a surprise attack is made - this 10,000 fierce barbarian army is enough to catch up with 100,000 soldiers and horses!

This is Xiong Wuliang's secret weapon for the next development of Lingnan!

……

Langya City is thriving and orderly.

In just one month, the situation in the city continued to improve, and the living standards of these remnants of the Yue Kingdom seemed to be a little more prosperous than before the war!

The reason for this is simple.

Wherever Quyang Hou goes, there must be business opportunities - this is already the common knowledge recognized by business travelers all over the world.

Hearing that the army of Chu was on an expedition to Langya, many caravans had already heard the news and were ready to buy booty and so on.

The influx of these caravans has injected a lot of vitality into [Langya].

In addition, Langya City was sandwiched between the Qi and Chu states - after the backstabbing of the Chu state, the entire Yue region was hostile to the two great powers of Qi and Chu, and trade was always blocked.

Now that it has been incorporated into the Chu State, the trade blockade naturally does not exist, and the people in the city have been blessed by misfortune, and the quality of life has risen instead of declining after the war.

Xiong Wuliang struck while the iron was hot and announced a series of orders-

'The homeland of the Yue Kingdom has now been incorporated into Dachu, and within one year, it is exempt from commercial tax; For three years, there will be no stubs. ’

'Requisition of labour and expansion of the seaport. ’

'Construction of Langya Shipyard. ’

In the first order, the commercial tax is exempted within one year, which is undoubtedly Xiong Wuliang's desire to use the power of business travel to make Langya rich as soon as possible.

Encouraging commerce and trade in the land of Langya is undoubtedly also for the long-term plan ahead.

In the future, it will be a commercial port and a military port that will be integrated, and as the key eastern outlet of Chu State, it will boost the economic development of the entire southeast region. Encouraging a culture of commerce here clearly outweighs the disadvantages.

As for the promise of 'no smoking' for three years...... One is to ensure that Langya has enough labor to carry out large-scale construction; Second, anyway, the 30,000 young adults in Langya who really have combat effectiveness have been taken away by the unscrupulous Quyang Marquis......

As for the expansion of the seaport, it is undoubtedly necessary to use the 'Quyang Construction Engineering Team' again!

During the entire Huainan disaster relief period, the Quyang construction engineering team made great contributions, and the size of the engineering team also increased several times.

In the future, this Quyang construction team will show its strength in Langya, leading the local labor force to carry out infrastructure and port projects.

As for the 'construction of Langya Shipyard', mature shipbuilders can be mobilized from Ping'a Shipyard to learn from Ping'e County's advanced production experience and ensure the formation of large-scale production capacity as soon as possible.

Shipbuilding, sea shipbuilding, sea ship!

Xiong Wuliang is not too much!

The sea is so vast, the islands are dotted, and the massive natural resources that have never been seized by anyone are simply unguarded treasures - even if the Chu State built thousands of large ships, it would not be able to transport back one ten-thousandth of that resource.

Shipbuilding! Desperately build ships! Dumplings!

The more you build, the more profit you can make!
