Chen Yuanjun reveals a vigorous and resolute military character, and there is a wild heart hidden under the sunny and gentle appearance, otherwise who would dare to cut off the head of the Beast Yang Prince, and the first cavalry battalion under his command is even more famous at the border pass, and the battle achievements are impressive.

Mu Lingfeng stood up straight: "Thanks to General Chen and Xuanyuan's love, Mu will be a corporal from today onwards, serving on the battlefield, and never giving up!" ”

Chen Yuanjun waved his hand and motioned for Mu Lingfeng to sit down, and asked: "Everyone has heard of this heavy armored battalion for a long time, but I don't know anything about the logistics consumption, military resources, and military establishment, can the general elaborate on it?" ”

In fact, Chen Yuanjun really didn't know anything about the heavy armored battalion, and all the generals here were cavalry-born generals, and they really didn't have any specific understanding of the so-called heavy armored battalion in their hearts.

"Okay, I'll explain it to General Chen and the generals in detail." Mu Lingfeng patted his chest heroically and said.

Mu Lingfeng said: "The establishment of the heavy armor battalion, first of all, is equipment, heavy armor is a must, made of more than 3,000 pieces of iron splicing, with good air permeability, the soldiers are wrapped in iron armor all over the body, leaving only a pair of eyes, the heavy armor weighs eighty pounds, and it costs a lot to build, most of the armor on the ordinary foot soldiers only has an iron armor on the chest, so creating a pair of heavy armor can create the cuirass of dozens of ordinary soldiers.

The second is weapons, in the past, my father-in-law's heavy armor battalion was only equipped with spears made of fine iron, mainly used against cavalry, and if it was used for infantry combat, it could be equipped with a long sword or scimitar.

Each spear needs to be equipped with two or three, which can be replaced when it breaks, and there is also an iron shield for rejecting horses, which must be able to cover the front body, so that the shield spear is heavier and armory, and the cavalry wants to break the formation, only to fill it with human life.

In addition, heavy armor is extremely physically demanding to wear, and can only be worn when the war is about to start, so it also needs to be equipped with corresponding carriages or war horses for transportation.

The first battle of the Blood Fat Plains was because the infantry retreated and also took away the auxiliary war horses, which caused the heavy armor battalion to have nowhere to escape except for a death battle, and how could it be possible to outrun the cavalry with eighty pounds of heavy armor on the body. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness also appeared on Mu Lingfeng's face, and he remembered his father-in-law who had died in battle.

After adjusting his mood, Mu Lingfeng continued: "The foot soldiers who enter the heavy armor battalion must also be the elite of the elite. Physical endurance and arm strength are indispensable, and in the face of the cavalry collision, being able to hold on for a long time is the key to victory. Therefore, the food of this heavy armored battalion on weekdays is better than that of other soldiers, and it is best to eat meat every day, and only by supplementing enough nutrition can we ensure physical strength. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lingfeng also had a headache, thinking that a soldier in the Zhuge Heavy Armor Battalion had to eat three times the rations of ordinary soldiers, and almost ate the poor of Bo Suozhou.

After listening to Mu Lingfeng's detailed description, Chen Yuanjun opened his mouth wide in surprise, there are too many doorways in this, except for insiders, how can laymen train out of the heavy armor camp.

And from equipment to food, the consumption is huge, it's really a gold-swallowing beast! It's no wonder that Po Si Zhou can't afford it.

Xuanyuan was frightened after hearing this, and said cautiously: "General Mu, what is the combat strength of the heavy armored battalion trained in this way when it is fully equipped?" ”

Everyone was also very curious when they heard this, and they all looked towards Mu Lingfeng, if the investment was not proportional to the results, it would not be a big loss.

Mu Lingfeng patted his chest confidently: "General Hui Xuanyuan, if there are 5,000 heavily armored foot soldiers, it is enough to withstand the collision of 25,000 lightly armed cavalry." ”

"Hiss" There was a sound of cold air gasping in the hall, everyone was shocked, you must know that in the past, the cavalry against the infantry, even if the infantry was several times larger, it was difficult to block the cavalry from colliding with the formation, under the Longwei Pass, two thousand cavalry and one battalion of soldiers faced the eight thousand chaotic formation of the beast yang foot soldiers, it was a one-sided slaughter.

Now the heavy armored battalion can face the cavalry with one enemy and five, how not to be shocked.

"What if the opponent is an ordinary infantryman?" Chen Yuanjun asked.

Everyone looked at Mu Lingfeng again.

Mu Lingfeng smiled slightly: "My 5,000-heavy armored battalion is lined up under the city, even if there are 20,000 foot soldiers, I can't get half a step close to the city gate, and I will kill as many as I come." ”

The crowd exclaimed.

This self-confidence is not unreasonable, even the huge impact of cavalry and war horses has to rely on the pile of human lives to break through the large array, not to mention ordinary foot soldiers, ordinary swords can't cut heavy armor at all, to kill a heavy armor foot soldier, I don't know how many lives it takes.

"Good!" The corners of Chen Yuanjun's mouth bloomed with a smile when he heard this: "The matter of forming a heavy armor battalion will be handed over to General Mu, and the selection of soldiers and soldiers should be configured and controlled by you with full control, as for the armor and military expenses, I will raise it, of course, the training of ordinary infantry soldiers must also keep up, after all, the heavy armor battalion is a sharp weapon, and it cannot be used in every battle." ”

Mu Lingfeng stood up suddenly: "The last general will do his best!" ”

It is his father-in-law's wish in his life, and it is also his own wish, and now that Chen Yuanjun has given him this opportunity, he naturally has to do his best.

———

Recently, Shangguan Wenxuan can be said to be complacent, not only replaced the deputy general of the Jiaocai Army with his own people, but even the two soldiers in the military department who opposed him were replaced by himself with excuses.

The Ouyang family may have not come forward to interfere in order to avoid the limelight, but now Shangguan Wenxuan has really gained a foothold in the military department, all relying on Chen Yuanjun's military exploits, which has made him increasingly prestigious in the court.

Shangguan Wenxuan, who received Chen Yuanjun's letter, did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the military department to urgently build 2,000 pairs of heavy armor, and the military expenditure of the household department was allocated to the northern pass prefecture more than usual.

For Chen Yuanjun's support, the Shangguan family spared no effort.

Shangguan Wenxuan is not afraid that you will open your mouth, what he is afraid of is that you will not ask him, as long as you Chen Yuanjun open your mouth, then I am not afraid that you will not stand with my Shangguan family, even if Bei Pass Prefecture is Mo Ye's fiefdom?

As the days passed, summer turned to autumn, the leaves began to slowly turn yellow, and the weather became much cooler. Under the crisp autumn weather, it is a good time to train troops.

A group of cavalry soldiers roared past outside the Tiger Pass, constantly running in the coordination of the formation and the technique of immediate assassination, and the heavy armor battalion was also formed, and Mu Lingfeng was constantly training.

After the battle armor sent by Shangguan Wenxuan arrived, the smile on Mu Lingfeng's face became heavier and heavier, but Chen Yuanjun's brows became deeper and deeper.

It wasn't until he really began to support these heavy armor battalion soldiers that Chen Yuanjun began to realize that the consumption was huge, which was even more shocking than the previous verbal description.

Fortunately, Shangguan Wenxuan asked the household department to allocate some more military funds, but the consumption of maintaining the heavy armor battalion was still a little reluctant, and the recruits from the counties of Bei Pass Prefecture sent another batch, and now the total strength of Juhu Pass has recovered to about 60,000, these 60,000 people are shouting outside the city every day to practice, Chen Yuanjun did not go to the scene to star, but let Xuanyuan Banmeng and Lao Yutou watch, while he was thinking about where to get money all day long.

Xuanyuan Banmeng, who stepped into Chen Yuanjun's door, saw Chen Yuanjun's sad face again, so he said: "You are a money fan, what are you thinking about?" ”

Chen Yuanjun recently even took out his own military salary to subsidize the military, and all the unnecessary expenses in the army were left as much as possible, and he was almost crazy in order to raise money, so Xuanyuan Banmeng and others gradually nicknamed Chen Yuanjun "Money Fans".

"Alas!" Chen Yuanjun looked up at Xuanyuan half-dream, sighed heavily, and said, "Brother Xuanyuan! Look at the daily consumption of these 60,000 troops, plus this heavy armored battalion, it is simply like flowing water! I don't have any money, I don't have any money! ”

Xuanyuan half-dreamed and smiled, and said mysteriously: "I have a way to solve the source of the money, are you interested in hearing it?" ”

Chen Yuanjun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately jumped up from the stool, moved a stool and handed it to Xuanyuan Banmeng's buttocks, helped Xuanyuan Banmeng sit down, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuanyuan, Brother Xuanyuan, I know that your old man is resourceful, come, hurry up and talk about it, what can I do?" ”

"Well, I've just come back from the training ground, I'm a little thirsty, and my throat is uncomfortable and I don't know what to say!" Xuanyuan half-dreamed and pretended to say.

After a few months of getting along, the two have become brothers who treat each other like each other.

Chen Yuanjun immediately trotted to the side and poured a glass of water and brought it over, looking at Xuanyuan Banmeng with blank eyes, which made Xuanyuan Banmeng laugh loudly, and shouted in his mouth: "The service attitude of the deputy general of the dignified North Pass Prefecture is really good, I think you can find a restaurant to be a junior, and you can also earn money to subsidize the military, haha!" ”

Chen Yuanjun immediately gave Xuanyuan Banmeng a roll of his eyes: "General Xuanyuan!" Don't hurry up, or don't blame me for serving the military law! ”
