Training Tai Sui

Page 347

Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling him to continue to practice without worrying about himself.

On the contrary, Zhao Piyi came up to Qin Feng after seeing him, and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin, is there any news?"

"We have also practiced for a long time. Whether we are successful or not, we have to go to the battlefield to test it."

Zhao Piyi is keen on fame and fortune. Originally, Qin Feng planned to change Yang Guang, but he didn't expect that after Yang Guang beat him once, his attitude became extremely correct. Those small problems before were corrected a lot, and the rest was irrelevant. Let Qin Feng have no excuse to do it.

This Southern Expedition is a battle to destroy Nanchen. At that time, the world will be unified, and except for the Turkic people in the north and west, basically there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds.

More importantly, the entire Sui Dynasty didn't feel that Nan Chen, who had lost Xiao Mahe, still had the ability to fight against the Sui Dynasty. As long as he went to the battlefield and had good luck, he would definitely have a chance to make meritorious deeds. Who wouldn't?

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet, but you must not miss the drill, otherwise if something goes wrong on the battlefield, you know the consequences better than me."

Now that Yang Guang has been determined to be the coach of Nanzheng, these more than a thousand people must follow.However, Qin Feng is not going to release this news in advance, otherwise he will feel relieved, and if he doesn't practice hard and thinks that everything will be fine, the news will not be of any benefit.

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhao Piyi's attitude was very upright, so that Qin Feng could not find any faults, but because of this, Qin Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But if Zhao Piyi had any bad intentions, Qin Feng didn't believe it either.

Having partnered together for so long, Qin Feng can be considered to know this person well. Apart from being keen on fame and fortune, there is no major problem. Qin Feng's only worry is whether this guy will do some stupid things for meritorious service.

"Practice well, you don't need to worry about the rest, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has his own arrangements."

Leaving a meaningful sentence, Qin Feng ignored Zhao Piyi and found Liu Laoshi instead.

Chapter 295 Strong Armor

Liu Laoshi is very leisurely now. The parts of the new-style catapult are ready. His daily tasks are nothing more than repairing and repairing the broken crossbow due to training, and making some spare parts by the way, that's all.

That's why when he saw Qin Feng, he scratched his head and said, "Master, is there anything else to build?"

Qin Feng checked the build records, nodded and said: "Stop, I need you to build some armor."

Now that there are enough crossbows in hand, enough replacement parts, and enough crossbow bolts, Qin Feng thinks it's time to stop, otherwise he will never be able to bear the crime of hoarding weapons.

"Armor?"

Hearing these two words, all the craftsmen were frowning, almost like dead parents.

But they really can’t be blamed for this. Tai Sui’s armor is mainly divided into two types. One is leather armor, which is tanned with animal skin. At most two pieces of iron can be placed inside. The protection ability is better than nothing.For the general soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, their armor was this kind of thing. It was cheap and light. Whether it was an infantry or a cavalry, this thing would not affect the movement of the soldiers, and it barely had a little warmth.

But this kind of thing can go directly to the Ministry of War, and there is no need for them to build it.

The second type, which Qin Feng asked them to build, may be fish scale armor.As the name suggests, this thing is like fish scales, first you have to forge iron sheets, then punch holes, and connect the armor pieces one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the Sui Dynasty, only mid-to-high-level generals were qualified to wear this kind of armor.

But the thousands of people in Shouyang Mountain are different, they are the attendants of King Jin, that is, the face of King Jin, if they all wear fish scale armor, there is nothing wrong with it.But thinking about making fish scale armor for more than a thousand people, how can these craftsmen be happy?

Qin Feng took out a blueprint, pointed to the things on it and said: "The same is a half body armor, but it is not a fish scale armor. It is stamped and made in one piece. Is it difficult?"

Don't underestimate the ancients. Although they don't pay much attention to craftsmen these days, die stamping is not a difficult craft, and Shouyang Mountain is rich in water resources.Under the instruction of Qin Feng, Liu Laoshi led his people to build a workshop by the river, specializing in using water power to make large things.

"Master, this kind of half-body plate armor has a simple structure, and it can be done with one or several blows with a heavy hammer. There is no problem at all, it's just..."

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "Just what?"

Liu Laoshi snapped his fingers and said: "Master, firstly, this kind of plate armor consumes a lot of iron materials, secondly, this kind of plate armor is really simple to make, but it is not as flexible as fish scale armor, and the movements of soldiers will be greatly affected. .”

Qin Feng smiled, "It's not a problem. This is Ah Ying's personal guard, representing his face. How can it be too shabby? And there are only a thousand people in the area, and His Majesty will not be too stingy. As for the actions ...The most important role of the thousand or so people is to use the crossbow, not to go forward and fight, the plate armor is strong and durable."

Liu Laoshi nodded, carefully looked at the blueprint Qin Feng gave him, and suddenly asked, "Master, do you still want to make a small pot?"

"pot?"

Qin Feng was taken aback, looked at Liu Laoshi's finger, and suddenly said speechlessly: "It's a helmet. Although my drawing is a little bit wrong, young master, isn't the size indicated on the side? It should also be possible to use the same stamping process. A lot of time."

Liu Laoshi nodded and said, "Do you have any other requirements, young master?"

Qin Feng thought for a while, and said: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days. You are also aware of the protective ability of ordinary leather armor. There is not much difference between having and not having that thing. The range of our Liannu can't be compared with that of bows and arrows, so this The body armor is mainly to protect against bows and arrows, if it can defend against long knives, that's the best. As for long spears, I don't have this extravagant hope."

The long spear is said to have run through the entire history of cold weapons and has been enduring for a long time, which shows that the power of this thing, at least the power of stabbing, is incomparable to other weapons, so Qin Feng is not so arrogant that he built a long spear that can defend against it in this year. Here come the spur armor.

Fortunately, the Liannu has long-range strike means, and Nanchen has very few cavalry, so there is no need to worry too much about the pikemen being able to rush into the formation and cause any damage to the Liannu.

Liu Laoshi nodded, then pointed to the thing next to the helmet and asked, "Master, what is this?"

"Visor."

This thing is not too new. Legend has it that there was a wooden visor in the Han Dynasty. If it is the closest to the present, King Lanling of the Northern Qi Dynasty would wear a visor when he led his troops out of battle because of his handsome appearance.

Qin Feng said lightly: "Only the eyes are exposed, and they are put together with the helmet. Pulling it down during the war is enough to guard against Liu Ya."

Of course, this thing is just a thin layer of iron. It’s okay to guard against Liu Shi who has lost its strength. If the enemy really has a sharp archer like Huang Zhong, let alone a face armor, I’m afraid there will be no plate armor or fish scale armor. use.

Liu Laoshi shuddered. Looking at the image of this ghost face, he could already imagine that these thousand or so people would all be dressed in this way when they appeared on the battlefield in the future. He was afraid that the enemy would be scared to death before they even made a move.

"Although Nan Chen is at the end of his battle, there is a saying that a rabbit bites when it is in a hurry. Any contempt for the enemy is a disregard for the lives of the brothers under his command!"

After explaining Liu Laoshi's matter of building the armor, Qin Feng convened a meeting with the brigade commander in the army and pointed out his goal.

"You are the personal guards of King Jin, and His Royal Highness is behind you, so no matter what, you can't retreat, let alone be scattered by others. I don't need to explain this truth."

An impatient brigade commander waited for Qin Feng to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Mr. Qin, can we participate in the Southern Expedition?"

Looking at the eyes eager for military exploits, Qin Feng suddenly hesitated, should he tell them?

After pondering for a moment, Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has made an order. The King of Jin is the commander of the Southern Expedition. As the personal guards of the King of Jin, you will definitely participate in the Southern Expedition."

"it is good!"

"Fuck Nan Chen and those bastards to death!"

Zhao Piyi was also excited, and then he was keenly aware that Qin Feng used you, not us, that is to say...

"Mr. Qin, aren't you going out with the army?"

The eyes of all the brigade commanders are focused on Qin Feng. Although Qin Feng has not led them to a formal battle, the capture of the five counties of Jingxiang has already confirmed Qin Feng's reputation as a soldier. Who would Don't want to follow a capable general to make meritorious service?

What's more, if Yang Guang wants to control the overall situation, he definitely won't have the chance to fight in person. If Qin Feng doesn't go, they will have to follow Yang Guang in the Chinese army all the time. How can they have any chance of making meritorious service?

But it's different with Qin Feng. After getting along for so long, everyone present can see Qin Feng's attitude towards the battlefield. With him leading the army, maybe he can really get a chance to fight.

Don't underestimate these rough people in the army, it's about making meritorious deeds, they calculate better than anyone else.

"I..." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty hasn't issued a decree yet, so I don't know for the time being. But whether I go or not, you must not relax during this time. I know the intensity of everyone's practice is great. Nothing beats it, since you have suffered so much, then take some credit back, at least let you feel that this hardship is not in vain, is it possible to do it?"

"can!"
