"For example, the soldiers and horses that were established later, let alone these special arms, Brother Wentai, didn't you realize that even the cavalry, I didn't configure them?"

……

"Well, since there are only a thousand sets, let's make a thousand sets...Even if it's one in a hundred, it's better than none, isn't it?"

"What about the price?"

"The price of this kind of armor is definitely different from the previous Zhajia. I don't know how much this kind of armor is sold for?"

Sun Jian sighed and asked Zhang Yan a question.

"The price is easy to say."

Pursing his lips, Zhang Yan calculated a rough figure in his mind, and then raised his finger to Sun Jian.

……

"Um. Is this five?"

"Five hundred... No, five thousand?"

"This set of armor plus weapons, it costs five thousand dollars to sell me!?"

"Compared with Zhajia, although this thing is more exquisite and gorgeous, but no matter how you say it, you can't buy it at ten times the cost?"

As if he heard something incredible, Sun Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then he took a sharp breath.

Under the gaze of the other party, Zhang Yan was even more helpless. He nodded at Sun Jian first, and then said:

"That's right, five thousand dollars."

……

"This kind of armor is also called Guangyao armor. The main part of it is a plate armor that is forged at one time. The success rate of forging is not high. It's not like the clips of those armors, even if it is an ordinary blacksmith apprentice. , as long as you work hard, you can always produce some.”

"Almost every piece of this light armor is made by famous masters in Lujiang, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary armor."

"In addition, the limbs of this kind of armor are protected by woven mountain armor... This is a style similar to the ring lock armor. It can not only prevent the bow and crossbow from entering, but also will not affect the Your normal activities can be said to be far more than worth the money."

……

He explained to Sun Jian in a low voice that Zhang Yan was also a little helpless about the complicated production process of this kind of armor.

He had only obtained two thousand sets of armor after accumulating for such a long time before, and a large part of the reason was that the production process of this kind of light armor was too complicated.

Looking at it this way, the price of five thousand yuan a pair is actually not too expensive.

……

"Brother Wentai, don't forget that in addition to a suit of armor, I will also wear a large shield, a long sword, and a halberd to match the shield..."

"These things are not expensive, but they are not cheap."

"If you really want to buy them separately, all these things will cost one or two thousand dollars when you add them up."

Looking at the other party with burning eyes, Zhang Yan's eyes are full of "sincerity".

……

"This... this, well, since you have said so, Demao, then it will be calculated as a set of 500 yuan, and converted into a thousand sets first, for a total of [-] million yuan."

Sighing silently, after hesitating for a long time, Sun Jian finally succumbed to his own ideas, nodded to Zhang Yan, and accepted the super high price of the other party's [-] sets.

After all, armor is a thing...to put it nicely, it is best-selling, but to put it badly, it can be said that it is almost priceless in the big man's market, and ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to buy it. seller's market.

It is precisely because of this that when faced with some expensive prices, Sun Jian has no good solution.

Looking at the whole of China, perhaps only Zhang Yan can meet his needs and produce such a large amount of equipment in a short period of time.

Chapter 44 Confrontational Exercises

Gritting his teeth, Sun Jian agreed to the matter.

This is a necessary sacrifice in exchange for strength - although the cost is very expensive, if it can be converted into combat power, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the strength of the soldiers under his command.

……

As for Zhang Yan, he somewhat admired Sun Jian's courage.

It can also be said to be convinced.

After all, in the whole of China, Sun Jian is probably the only one who has this kind of thought and is willing to pay such a cost to improve his military equipment.

Even Liu Jingzhou, who will also carry 196 armor in the future, will not do it until after taking office for seven full years, that is, in [-] AD, after the city of Xuzhou was broken and Yuan Shu went south.

On the other hand, Sun Jian, probably by the end of next year, the power in his hands will be able to compete with the future Liu Biao.

……

It can be said that for Zhang Yan, it is a very positive thing for the other party to be a teammate with strong strength.

Whether it is from the perspective of jointly discussing Dong, or from the perspective of letting Sun Jian as a southern prince restrict those strong men in the north, Zhang Yan hopes that Sun Jian will be as strong as possible.

It's just that the opponent's strength also faintly stimulated Zhang Yan's competitive spirit.

Sun Jian has already grown to the point where he has more than [-] armored troops. As he is also a prince in the Jianghuai area, the next step of military expansion may have to be put on the agenda.

……

"Oh, forget it, wait until the end of this year, and try to persuade Sun Jian to go north to kill the Qingzhou thief before winter."

"At that time, there will be millions of bandits from Qingzhou who will be recruited?"

"If these people can become the driving force for the further development of Lujiang, it will be obvious for me to improve."

Thinking silently in his heart, Zhang Yan's expression was a little silent.

For some reason, although this situation has been going on for a long time, he still feels a little restless, as if something big is about to happen.

Even when he was talking about serious matters with Sun Jian, Zhang Yan still started to think wildly uncontrollably.

……

"Why is this……"

"Could it be that it's so important to me that the feudal lords seek the chairman, so seeing the date approaching, I'm a little nervous?"

……

Secretly rubbing his fingers in his sleeves, Zhang Yan obviously felt a trace of cold sweat appearing on his fingertips.

This feeling is not very good... It even gave him an idea to actively detonate the conflict between Luoyang and the foreign ministers, and push Dong Zhuo's matter ahead of time.

……

"Huh...By the way, Brother Wentai, there are also the artillery used by our Lujiang artillery, do you want to use some of them?"

"It's the secret weapon I told you about before."

"Don't look at that thing as stupid, big yellow and thick, it's not very eye-catching, but when it comes to its effectiveness in the army, it can't even be compared with equipped infantry."

……

After a while, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to speak to Sun Jian.

No matter how worried he was, it was meaningless. All he could do was to make preparations in a limited time, to improve his own strength as much as possible, and to reap the benefits in this chaotic battle.

……

"Secret weapon?"

"artillery?"

……

"Oh, it's the phalanx you placed last in the military parade today!"

With a sudden slap on his palm, Sun Jian heard Zhang Yan mention the word artillery, and then he matched the secret weapon in the opponent's mouth with the artillery phalanx he saw during the day today.

"Tell me, Demao, what is this secret weapon you are talking about, and how is it used?"

……

"This cannon..."

"It's really hard to describe it with just one mouth."

……

Whispering to Sun Jian, Zhang Yan originally wanted to briefly describe the usage and effects of the artillery with him.

But as the saying goes: "You can never tell a person what he doesn't know, just like you can't tell a born blind person what the world is like".

When the words came to his lips, Zhang Yancai suddenly realized that it was difficult for him to explain clearly to Sun Jian the difference between artillery and other long-range weapons.

……

"With copper pellets and iron pellets thrown out, it will be invincible to attack the city and pull out the village?"

……

That sounds like a normal catapult, and even those catapults are not as good.

After all, people's catapults are throwing boulders, and there will be no empty bullets such as copper and iron shots.

……

"Where the cannon passed, it would be useless to kill soldiers and cavalry, and it reached the dragon screen, and there was no grass growing within dozens of miles. The enemy said that it was not good to send troops, so they wrapped their bodies in leather and ran away crying?"

……

From the perspective of field combat, it seems that it is not easy to say.

Although artillery has greatly changed the field battlefield, if you say that someone killed many people with solid iron lumps that don't bloom... that's a bit of bragging.

Even a three-year-old knows that this thing scares people far more than it kills.

……

Then you can't tell Sun Jian that this thing is used to scare people! ?

……

For a moment, the whole person was a little stunned, and after a while, an interesting idea appeared in Zhang Yan's mind.
