Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Lu Su didn't know much about Zhang Yan's views on cannons and thunder-thundering weapons, but if it was him, he would probably hide these things as his secret weapons in the future.

Especially artillery, with this kind of thing and without it, the siege of the city is completely two different experiences.

……

"Exercise content?"

"Oh, Zijing, you mean what we want to show, right...you can decide for yourself. I don't think any of our current military units in Lujiang need to be hidden. They can be shown to others. .”

"Things like artillery, even if they want to imitate, if they don't know the principle, they can't imitate something decent at all, so we don't have to care at all."

"Furthermore, deterrence, deterrence, is deterrence only if it is shown. If everything is hidden, then the meaning of this military parade will be in vain?"

……

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yan understood what Lu Su meant.It's just that he doesn't feel very confidential about these things.

If it is things like stirrups and Takahashi saddles that have been installed on a large scale in Lujiang and are easy to be imitated, then at the beginning, it is natural to hide them from others to form effective combat power.

But like a cannon...

This thing is like showing the nuclear bomb test explosion to the officials and gentlemen in the late Qing Dynasty. No matter how much they want, can they imitate it across the ages?

……

"Just do it. I don't have any other requirements for this inspection. In short, I want to let the neighbors around know that our Lujiang has an extremely strong force that can even crush them. This is related to another plan of mine. , so it is very important.”

"As for the exercise, I can give you some other ideas."

……

Smiling and patted Lu Su's shoulder, Zhang Yan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence.

……

"Zijing, don't you think the formal exercises before are too boring? Why don't you try to conduct some confrontational exercises after the military parade, and don't necessarily limit your attention to the performance-like things."

"Let's not talk about artillery shooting and throwing thunder. I think you can add some of the confrontation between the two armies, temporary changes, and even simulated encounters and simulated siege battles."

"We have plenty of time this time, not all the content has to be completed in one day. Three days, five days or even seven days, you can arrange it according to the actual situation."

……

"Do you remember? Don't we have a total of three soldiers and horses?"

"Separate them, and then fight or join forces, or even a three-way melee."

"These things are much more interesting than chanting slogans in front of everyone and making people with grass."

……

Turning around and walking away from Lu Su's side, Zhang Yan saw that the other party was already standing there with a pensive look, so he knew that the other party was obviously enlightened, and it was obvious that he didn't need to teach him How to do it.

However, after everyone left the tent and disappeared from everyone's sight, a faint sound came in from outside the door.

……

"Oh, right……"

"I'm going to make some new stuff recently. In this exercise, which one of the three soldiers and horses performed best, I will consider arranging them first."

……

PS: As we all know, the current plot has deviated greatly from the original history, so what happens is normal. I hope that if you see any plot in the future, don’t rush to criticize the author. You can post it first, and then look back.

Don't rush.

PS2: This is a problem I discovered recently. It seems that many historical or military or farming texts are often rushed to others before the domestic turmoil has subsided and the economy has not recovered.

The point is that it is not very reliable to call it a transfer of fierce domestic conflicts to foreign countries.

I chatted with Tianyuanmao, another author in the historical area, and felt that I still need to clean up myself before going out.

That's right, I have talked so much nonsense, what I want to say is that it is almost done now, and I can finally start driving others!

PS3: Thanks to the big brother of 234 dollars, this is a plus.

Chapter 28 New Armament

"Leave a way, let a way!"

"The guys in front give way, the things on this car are too heavy, don't hit you, it will be troublesome then!"

……

A few days later, in the Huainan Industrial Zone in the northern part of Wancheng, Zhang Yan was wearing an uncharacteristic blue uniform, holding a feather fan in his hand, and stood on the side of the road looking at him with a satisfied expression.

After less than half a year of development, the current state... oh no, maybe it should be called Huainan. The Huainan area today looks much more lively than before, and the dissipated villages are not like they used to be. , but distributed in clusters around the industrial area.

In the core area of ​​the industrial area, that is, on the street near the Huaihe River where Zhang Yan is now, there are three towering tower furnaces standing not far away, standing under the protection of a large number of walls.

Zhang Yan recognized that it was the iron-smelting blast furnace he ordered to build earlier.

This technology is far superior to the stoves of the Han Dynasty. Not only did Lujiang's metal output jump up a lot, it even made the quality of steel much better than before.

……

"The scholar in front, please give way!"

……

Some rough voices sounded behind Zhang Yan, he turned his head sideways to look, and saw a donkey cart slowly driving in his direction.

No, maybe it wasn't that the speed of the donkey cart was too slow, but that the cargo behind the cart was too heavy, which caused the donkey to rest for a while every time it walked, giving people the illusion of being very slow.

……

"Hey, sure enough, what the system said is correct. Things like heavy industry are very dependent on supporting industries."

"Although the output of metal in Lujiang is much higher than before, this car, this road, no matter how you think about it, it will slow down the factories and furnaces."

……

Shaking his head lightly, Zhang Yan covered his nose and mouth with a fan, and turned his head slightly.

In his field of vision, the donkey cart was driving on the dry dirt road, and the bumps of every small hole and bag shook the cart as if it was about to fall apart.

Perhaps when consigning cloth and grain, this kind of dirt road can barely support the load.

But right at the gate of the "Huainan Iron and Steel Plant", under the pressure of several tons of metal products every day and every night, the previous dirt road has long been deformed and broken, almost collapsed.

"Well, Wei Xian, please remember for me. When the industrial division I showed you before is being built, you will use this steel plant as the core and build outwards little by little."

"Although I don't want to admit it, there is no doubt that the transportation pressure here is the greatest."

Turning around, he gave instructions to a middle-aged man behind him, and while the man was taking notes in his notebook, Zhang Yan secretly followed the donkey cart earlier, and took a look inside.

What was loaded in that cart was nothing but neatly stacked weapons and armor.

These armors have just been built, and they will be transported to the military arsenal in Wancheng as a backup later, and these weapons will come in handy when there is a need to temporarily increase the number of soldiers in case of war.

……

In fact, whether it is weapons, armor, or some common tools such as hoes and kitchen knives, Zhang Yan already has a lot of inventory here.

Like hoes and the like, the family only buys one or two. Even if the wooden pole is broken, light the hoe and insert a new wooden pole, and it can continue to be used for a long time.

But when these things are produced, thousands or even tens of thousands of them are produced at every turn.

Before that, the population of Lujiang had increased dramatically, and the newly added households also needed farm tools, so these things were still selling well.

But now, when Lujiang's household registration has gradually stabilized, farm tools and other things cannot be sold.

Not only farm tools, but also weapons and armor.

Zhang Yan still remembers that when he first came to Lujiang, he only had three or two big cats and kittens in his hands, and it was enough for a general to gather an army of more than [-] people.

As for this army of more than 1 people, their equipment was also bought from other places. Not to mention the surplus of many soldiers who did not have replacements, there was no way to deal with the loss.

But now?

Now the total number of soldiers in Lujiang has exceeded the [-] mark, which is almost triple or even quadrupled compared to before.

These people, each of them must have the most basic armor to protect the torso, right?

One hundred steelmaking knives per person, more than 6 big knives always need to be equipped, right?

Not to mention that there are cavalry who are like eating iron and steel. Their equipment is as small as biting heads, shoes, saddles, stirrups, as large as long lances, armor and even shields used by cavalry. Lots of steel.

At the very beginning, in order to equip the entire army, this smelting factory in Huainan was working day and night.

The armor transported from here is piled up together, and it can almost be piled up into a hill.

In the blink of an eye, since there is no actual war, such things as weapons and armor are only produced without loss. Over time, this inventory has slowly accumulated.

According to the records of the arsenal, Lujiang's swords and armor have already been supplied to Zhang Yan's 6 people, and there are even more than 1 sets of weapons and equipment in surplus.

If you don't recruit other troops in the short term, even if you continue to produce, it will be a waste.

However, seeing this situation, Zhang Yan quickly adjusted the production line here.

The current smithy no longer uses this simple iron sheet as the main product.

Having received the new order, they are producing vests on a large scale, as well as a special type of armor called "Guangyao" armor by later generations.

Although in terms of productivity, those blacksmith shops have not changed much compared to before... but because the difficulty of producing goods has increased by more than one level, this makes the current output of armor and vests far from enough to fill Zhang Yan's needs.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to arm this group of soldiers to the teeth, I am afraid that these people will have to work hard for a while.

……

Vest, as the name suggests, is the armor specially used for cavalry mounts.

In fact, in the ancient cavalry charge, horse casualties have always been something that the Central Plains dynasty could not bear.

War horses are not like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. Any horse that can go to the battlefield will undoubtedly consume a lot of time for training to ensure that they are like an extension of the body of a cavalry.

And a small knife wound, or a stab from behind in the charge, can easily ruin the life of a military horse.

The reason why in ancient China, before the Tang and Song Dynasties, the army seldom used cavalry to charge, but most of them surrounded and interspersed, because the loss of cavalry and war horses could not be easily afforded by any prince or even the treasury of a country.

Perhaps only the world-wide steppe empires such as Mongolia or the Huns have the confidence to use light cavalry to charge the battle.

Although Zhang Yan's family background is not bad... But compared with a country, it must still be inferior.

At the very beginning, he ordered Yang Feng and others to train the cavalry's formation and charge skills, and even used the convenience of stirrups and saddles to train the wall charge, so he was naturally prepared.
