Chapter 672 Brainless Huang Shaowen
Chapter 672 Brainless Huang Shaowen
Heavy armored warriors are not something that ordinary forces can afford.
First of all, the so-called heavy armor refers to the armor being heavy and complete.
The so-called heavy naturally requires enough weight. The armor leaves need to be tight, so more iron is consumed and it is naturally heavier.
The so-called full armor naturally means full armor. From head to toe, the armor is carefully designed to cover the whole body with almost no flaws.
Therefore, a set of heavy armor requires nearly two thousand pieces of armor, and the specifications and models of different parts are also different.
Such a set of armor basically weighs about 55 kilograms.
Naturally, such heavy armor cannot be worn by ordinary people, and this requires the selection of excellent soldiers.
Although this world has magical things like internal strength that can make up for it, internal strength is ultimately related to whether a person can eat well.
In this way, everything from craftsmen to soldiers, from leather to armor leaves, from food to medicinal materials, all require a lot of manpower and material resources.
Prince Yi Yi had a 20-strong army in the Jiangnan camp. With partial support from the imperial court and full support from the five continents in Jiangnan, it took him a year to produce more than 1000 soldiers.
The Han army can be said to have brought half of Leizhou under its control, and it has achieved maximum mobilization at this stage. It can only gather less than a thousand heavy-armored soldiers.
Of course, this is because the standards on both sides are different.
The standard in the Jiangnan Camp was that each heavy-armored soldier wore one set of full armor, while the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army wore two sets of full armor.
Also in terms of armor leaves, the materials of the two sides are somewhat different. Simply put, the Han army's armor leaves are tougher.
That would be fine if it were like this. The land south of the Yangtze River has high mountains and forests, dense water networks, and abundant materials. However, one bad thing is that people in the south of the Yangtze River are generally shorter than those in the north of the Yangtze River.
In addition, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely hot. Wearing heavy armor can really kill people.
If the battle is severe and a long time passes, the heavy-armored soldiers will die of heat stroke before they are killed by the enemy.
Even if he didn't go forward to fight during the battle, but just stood there wearing armor, this man wouldn't be able to bear it.
Therefore, these soldiers need to carry a large amount of water to replenish the water lost in the body.
I just don't know what the reason is. In this case, it seems that the water I drink can't replenish it at all, and the soldier will not be able to survive after a long time.
Therefore, this type of heavy armored warrior must be supported by at least three auxiliary soldiers. When fighting, they will not wear armor, and when they are used, they will quickly put on armor.
But all this is different for the Han army. Simply put, these people lose sweat too quickly, and then drink too much water, resulting in water poisoning!
Therefore, let alone the heavily armored soldiers of the Han army, all armored soldiers must drink water with refined salt added after a battle or a long journey.
In comparison, Jiangbei is different. There are more tall people than Jiangnan, and there are more soldiers to choose from.
Not only that, although Jiangnan and Jiangbei are accustomed to fighting after the autumn harvest, in comparison, Jiangnan prefers to fight in winter because the weather is cooler this winter.
Jiangbei, on the other hand, prefers to fight in spring and autumn, because the summer is too hot and production needs to be carried out; the winter is too cold, and people can freeze to death even if the roads are blocked by heavy snow.
And this is the main reason why it is so difficult to form heavy armored warriors in Jiangnan.
It is summer now, and both sides are fighting with heavy armored soldiers, which is simply killing people.
And this is also the reason why the legs of these general soldiers are weak. It is nothing else. Regardless of whether the enemy is re-armed or not, these horse-riding soldiers are going to fight hard?
Think about it some time ago, Huang Shaowen led hundreds of soldiers to charge, and it basically didn't take much time to get to the top of the wall.
Although it was a surprise, after all, neither side expected that anyone would use the configuration for a decisive battle to fight a conventional battle, but it also meant that using heavy armored soldiers in this situation was a desperate matter.
All the general soldiers were trembling with fear in their hearts.
Therefore, without waiting for the rebels on the opposite side to form a formation, someone was already rushing towards the commander's tent.
As for taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and sending troops to defeat the enemy, no one did such a big injustice.
"Array, array, array."
"Sword and shield hands come forward, sword and shield hands come forward!"
"Lancer, spearman, prepare!"
For a moment, everyone was in panic and quickly began to organize their formation and prepare for defense.
As long as they can withstand the first wave of attacks and wait until the soldier battalion goes out to fight, they will be victorious.
Perhaps, this is a huge wealth that is unknown?
"Generals, generals, and thieves are coming out. There are hundreds of heavily armored men!"
Huang Shaowen, who was on the hospital bed, opened his eyes with difficulty after hearing this, lifted up the blanket on his body and said:
"Wear... for... wear armor for me!"
"General!"
When Huang Shaowen heard that the bandits dared to go out of the city to fight, not only that, but they also had heavy armor, he thought it was necessary for him to fight in person.
But his weak tone and crotch-stretching body made him look like he was going to die as soon as he left the house.
So the commander-in-chief who hurried over immediately said: "General, please take care of yourself. The heavy armored soldiers of the thieves can only be dealt with by the armored battalion."
Huang Shaowen is not stupid. He cannot hand over this soldier camp, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to take it back!
This matter was personally explained to him by the prince before he left. He said that these general soldiers should not look at each of them as loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but they all have different ideas. Try not to hand over the military power of the soldiers' battalion to these people as much as possible. .
The soldier battalion is an important force for you to maintain the rule of the army. Once the control is handed over, you will only have the identity of a commander and nothing else!
This is something that comes from the bottom of one's heart. Most people, this prince, would not teach him.
Of course, this also has something to do with his stupidity, and Prince Yi Yi is also afraid that something will go wrong.
Hundreds of heavy armored soldiers, coupled with tens of thousands of county soldiers, can separatist forces no matter what. Once out of control, the blow to the front line will only be greater.
Huang Shaowen didn't care at first, but when he became seriously ill, the camp could still operate, and the generals attacked more sharply. If you tell him that this has nothing to do with the soldiers' camp, even dogs won't believe it!
So he weighed the pros and cons and said: "No, the soldiers' battalion is the prince's personal soldiers, I have no right to hand it over!"
"General!!"
Now, the general was worried. Why was this guy so stupid at this time?
A fool on horseback is in charge of such an elite force. No wonder the imperial court has been defeated in battles.
However, this soldier battalion is in the hands of Huang Shaowen. Without his tokens and military orders, no one in the army can mobilize it!
Time is urgent, and the commander-in-chief doesn’t want to argue, so he thinks to himself, you might as well die if you step on the horse:
"General, your body is weak and you can't use your armor at all. Besides, it's too late now. Please leave your tent quickly and mobilize the army!"
"Also, General, the most important thing now is, can you issue an order to let the armored battalion go first?"
When Huang Shaowen heard this, he thought to himself, it was just wearing armor, the control was still in his hands, and he didn't think that the commander-in-chief dared to lie to him.
So just in case, it’s better to put on armor first.
"Send the order, the soldiers are guarding their armor!"
"promise!"
