Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 95
Shi Shouxin is affiliated to the Guards and Military Division, responsible for the safety of part of the imperial city.

Luo Youdu walked past his defense area carelessly with eighty carts of equipment.

The dark leather armor is dazzling in the sun, and the bright weapons reflect the sun's brilliance.

Luo Youdu is like a peacock with its tail open, walking at the forefront of the team with the temperament of an upstart.

Shi Shouxin, in the barracks of the squad in the tower, was lecturing the soldiers under his command, asking them to stand up for each shift with full strength and do a good job in every training.

The decision to march south to Huainan is no longer a secret among the core members of the army, and Shi Shouxin also got the news from Zhao Kuangyin.

As Han Lingkun made military exploits first, he rose to the top of the army.

A group of generals like Shi Shouxin were unwilling to fall behind, and they looked forward to showing themselves well on the Huainan battlefield in order to gain a higher status.

This is especially true for Shi Shouxin himself.

The grievances between him and Luo Youdu can be traced back to Wang Jixun, and they have always been anti-Luo No. 1 along the way.

Originally, Wenwushutu was easy to talk about, but now Luo Youdu has already climbed on his head with his military merits. Every time he thinks of this, he feels like a stick in his throat, and secretly makes up his mind. This is all command.

And Han Lingkun, thinking of this friend who had been with him for ten years but betrayed him, Shi Shouxin's teeth itch, and he wanted to break up with him many times, but he couldn't say it out, and couldn't be cruel.

Hearing the noise outside, Shi Shouxin walked out of the squad room, followed the soldier's eyes to look down, and saw Luo Youdu passing by the edge of the city.

His eyes fell on the armament, Shi Shouxin couldn't help cursing: "You son of a bitch", thinking that he had applied to the military supervisory department for wear and tear replacement, and in exchange he dismissed it with a sentence: "It can still be used after repairing it", and there was an evil feeling in his heart. The fire kept going up and down.

"That can't be a big patent leather armor!"

A low cry came from beside him.

Shi Shouxin looked back in disbelief, the carts of black and reddish leather armors were particularly dazzling, and blood would ooze from jealousy in an instant: "It's really a big lacquered leather armor."

With the current smelting technology, the body armor of soldiers, in terms of defense, Zhajia is undoubtedly the first.

However, Zhajia has two fatal weaknesses, one is bulky, and the other is expensive. Nearly a thousand nail leaves protect the vital points of the body, and a set weighs at least [-] jin, which is not conducive to soldiers' rapid march, long-term combat and pursuit battles.

Of course, expensive is the most important key.

Dazhou is located in the Central Plains, and there have been constant wars for 50 years. In order to support the army, the warlords of all parties regard massacre and looting as their daily activities.

It was only during Guo Wei's period that he got a certain amount of rest and recuperation. Guo Rong is a true king, but he is also a master who loves to make troubles.

This is the big lacquer leather armor after Zhajia.

The so-called lacquer leather armor is to paint layer after layer of lacquer on the leather armor.

This kind of thick lacquer is like covering a layer of hardened film on leather armor. Don't underestimate this layer of hardened film. It can effectively prevent damage from sharp objects, especially knives, which only have the ability to chop but not break. A weapon has miraculous effects.

At the same time, the large lacquered leather armor is far lighter than the Zhajia.The popularity in the army is even higher than that of Zhajia.

The cost of the large lacquer leather armor is not expensive, but the production process is very complicated. In Dazhou, only the Dianqian Si who guards Guo Rong is eligible to be equipped with a full set of large lacquer leather armor.

Shi Shouxin's cavalry army belonged to the elite of the guards' pro-army division, and they were not qualified to be equipped with so many sets of large lacquered leather armor.

The Imperial Army Division has a staff of less than a thousand, and is equipped with more large lacquer armor than himself. This kind of differential treatment made Shi Shouxin angry, and said through gnashing of teeth, "Pay attention to the movements of the Imperial Army Division soldiers. City, report immediately... I want to see if these hired workers are worthy of such good equipment."

Luo Youdu turned around, pulled enough hatred, and came to the station of Xishuimen in the imperial city.

Pan Mei strode forward to meet her: "Report to the commander of the capital, and five hundred soldiers from the Imperial Battalion Division are on standby."

Luo Youdu dismounted and said, "How?"

A flash of excitement flashed in Pan Mei's eyes, and she said, "I'm so surprised, sir. As long as you give the students three months, this army can go into battle. 1000 people, most of them are good seedlings. Only [-] of them will be selected. , what a pity."

This is similar to Luo Youdu's expectation. Soldiers rely more on their arms and waists in battle.

The porters on the wharf worked day and night, and developed extraordinary arm and waist strength, which is the foundation of a strong soldier by nature.

He nodded and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I have to take it step by step. Did you find anything special?"

Pan Mei said excitedly: "I found a man from Kaifeng named Chang Side. His physical strength is not inferior to that of Zhang Qiong, but he can only do a few tricks. As long as he is well trained and taught his skills to kill the enemy, he will be a general. .”

"Okay!" What Luo Youdu lacks most now is all kinds of talents. As long as there are talents, they are worth cultivating: "Distribute all these leather armor weapons and let the soldiers replace them."

Pan Mei called the soldiers and general Bei to send them to the garrison. When he saw the carts of large lacquered leather armors, he couldn't help but said, "It can't be that there are really five hundred sets of large lacquered leather armors?"

Luo Youdu said: "It's natural, without any discount. I have come this way, and the soldiers along the way can drool enviously."

Pan Mei knew the effect of the large lacquered leather armor and the difficulty of making it, so she smiled wryly, "Who wouldn't be envious of this brand-new large lacquered leather armor?"

Luo Youdu blinked and said, "In order to make them feel more uncomfortable, I went around specially to tease them."

"..."

Pan Mei didn't know how to answer for a while, and after thinking for a while, she smiled wryly: "Sir, are you really not afraid of causing trouble?"

Luo Youdu whispered: "Do you think we won't cause trouble if we develop honestly?"

Pan Mei remained silent, how could it be possible?
The emergence of the Imperial Army Division is a challenge to the Dianqian Division and the Guards' Division.

Even if civil and military do not confront each other, they will not have a good look at each other.

Not to mention the current situation.

Luo Youdu said: "So, sooner or later, something will happen. Instead of passively waiting for them to do something and being caught off guard, it is better to stimulate them, let this incident appear under control, and get the upper hand. Today I staged a villain. This should be a play to humiliate the Imperial Guard."

Pan Mei smiled knowingly and stopped asking.

With Mr. here, can you still suffer?
The five hundred soldiers were all put on large lacquered leather armors, and their weapons were distributed one by one.

Black and red leather armor was worn on the soldiers. Five hundred soldiers were holding long spears and wearing swords at their waists. They were lined up in an orderly formation, standing silently under the school platform.

The brand-new armament gave this newborn army a brand-new atmosphere.

　Thank you Shuyou for the [-] rewards for the meat-eating rabbit, and the [-] rewards for Zhou Yi, thank you for your support!
