Water Margin official
Chapter 243: Cavalry Army
In order to live a happy life, Zhang Zhengdao followed the dual cultivation method given by Jiang Huilian, refrained from sexual intercourse with women, and practiced seriously.
Build the foundation for a hundred days, recharge your batteries, and lay the foundation for the second phase of "stimulating" training!
At the same time, all matters in the village are proceeding in an orderly manner. As large amounts of money are being poured out, ships purchasing supplies from nearby state capitals are constantly coming and going in the water.
Five days passed by in a flash. Early that morning, a group of men came to report that the craftsman's workshop had already produced the first fully armored piece of heavy armor.
Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed and rushed to the craftsman's workshop with Fang Xuedu, Fan Rui and Qiao Daoqing.
When they got to the yard, they saw a big man wearing heavy armor, holding an iron gun, testing the flexibility of the armor in the yard.
"I've met the village master!" Mr. Jin saluted respectfully.
Zhang Zhengdao stared at the heavy armor and asked, "How much does this armor weigh?"
Mr. Jin replied: "It weighs about forty-two pounds."
"Master, although this armor is heavy, it can still bear it." Sun An's voice came from the heavy armor.
Because he had a dagger on his head and only a pair of eyes were exposed, no one could recognize who the armored man was for a while.
"Let's go to Nanshan Dry Village and test the performance of the armor." Zhang Zhengdao ordered people to carry the vest and led everyone, including Mr. Jin, out of the three passes and came to the camp where the Flying Cavalry Army was stationed.<
/p>
Bian Xiang is training the flying cavalry, and Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi are following him, talking about something.
Seeing the village leader and his entourage arriving, three big men quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Master, is this the heavy armor made by a copycat?" Bian Xiang asked curiously.
Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Yes, I just came to your place to test whether this armor is useful or not."
Bian Xiang replied: "How to test?"
Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Get a horse."
Bian Xiang ordered his men to bring over a good horse from the north.
After Jin Lao commanded the men, he put on the vest, and an armored war horse appeared in front of everyone.
"Help me mount the horse!" Sun An said in a deep voice, still wearing heavy armor.
When the minions helped Sun An onto the horse again, both the man and the horse were wearing armor. As they stood there, a ferocious aura filled the air.
Qiao Daoqing said with a solemn expression: "Master of the village, I have heard that during the Taizong period of the Song Dynasty, there was a Jingsai Army of 3,000 men in Yizhou, all of which were heavy armored cavalry. They also defeated the Tielin Army of the Liao State.
I thought it was such a charming person."
Fang Xuedu said: "The Jingsai Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Khitan Tielin Army, and the Dangxiang Tieyaozi are all heavy armored cavalry."
"It's a pity that these three world-famous powerful armies are no longer rare to see!" Fang Xuedu said with emotion.
Zhang Zhengdao thought in his heart that it won't be long before the Jurchens will have a world-famous heavy armor cavalry named "Iron Buddha".
After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Zhengdao said in a deep voice: "Test the mobility of this heavy armor first."
Sun An was already impatient with waiting. He immediately shook the reins and started to trot in the dry village. Then he raised his gun and charged, making various attack movements.
Everyone stared intently at every move of that person and horse.
Sun An put on the iron armor. After getting used to it for a while, he finally made two quick attacks, thrust out the iron spear, and easily cut the straw man standing in the field in half, and then tightened the reins.
Zhang Zhengdao ordered again: "Get the bow and arrow."
The minions brought a pair of bows and arrows, and Shan Shiqi called out: "Master of the village, I'll come."
The man took the bow and arrow and shouted to Sun An, who was a hundred steps away: "Brother, I'm trying to shoot an arrow, don't block it."
Sun An laughed and said: "I won't move, let you shoot."
Shan Shiqi drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow towards Sun An.
"Cang!"
The arrow was very fast and hit the body of the armor, but was bounced away.
Everyone was delighted, and Si Sheng shouted: "Let me try."
Taking the bow and arrow, the man drew it as full as the moon and shot an arrow at Sun An.
This second arrow also hit the body of the armor. The sound of fine iron hitting each other was heard, and the arrow was also bounced away.
Sun An was as steady as Mount Tai and shouted: "Come again!"
Bian Xiang took the bow and arrow and shot another arrow, but it was also blocked by the heavy armor and could not penetrate.
With a smile in his eyes, Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Brother, go try to chop it with two knives."
Su Sheng shouted: "Let me come!"
The man found a simple knife, came to Sun An, looked up and down at the mountain-like heavy armored cavalry, and said: "Brother Sun An, be careful, I'm going to chop him down."
Sun An's eyes flashed, he put away the iron gun, and said in a low voice: "Don't hold back."
Sui Sheng waved the simple knife in his hand, first making two false cuts, and then looking at a specific place, he slashed with all his strength.
The simple knife struck Sun An's armor, and a harsh sound of iron was heard. Everyone stared at it.
The simple sword only made a mark on the heavy armor, and it was difficult to penetrate further.
Seeing this, Mr. Jin felt relieved.
Sun An laughed and said: "Remove armor!"
The minions waiting by the side quickly helped him off the horse, took off his armor, and at the same time removed the vest from the war horse.
Sun An was already sweating profusely, panting heavily, and sat slumped on the ground. It was obvious that his physical strength was too much.
Jin Laoze asked: "Master of the village, is there anything that needs to be improved in this heavy armor?"
Zhang Zhengdao looked at Sun An and asked, "What do you think of this armor?"
After Sun An rested for a while, he replied: "I think it's okay. Even for this horse, I have to choose a Northland BMW to withstand the weight of this armor."
Zhang Zhengdao turned his attention to the horse that was also exhausted and resting on the ground. He nodded and said, "What Brother Sun An said is true."
"I intend to set up a battalion of heavy armored cavalry, starting with a limit of three thousand." Zhang Zhengdao looked around and continued: "Brothers Sun An will be the commander-in-chief, and brothers Shan Shiqi and Sui Sheng will be the deputy commanders."
p>
"This heavy armored cavalry is called the 'Cavalry Army'. From each camp in the village, three thousand brothers who are more than seven feet in length, strong and heroic, and good at riding and shooting are trained every day with heavy loads!" Zhang Zhengdao looked around.
Everyone said in a deep voice.
Fang Xuedu said: "Master, if you build a battalion of heavy armored cavalry, I'm afraid it will consume a lot of money and food."
Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Military advisor, after this heavy armored cavalry is organized into an army, I am afraid that there will be no one stronger than this army in the world. A little money and food are wasted, so there is no need to be stingy."
Fang Xuedu said: "Fang understands."
Zhang Zhengdao continued to give instructions: "Mr. Jin, the craftsman's workshop is working day and night to build iron armor. First, five hundred complete armors will be made."
Mr. Jin stroked his beard and said: "As long as there are sufficient supplies and manpower, I should do my best."
Zhang Zhengdao replied: "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
After Mr. Jin thanked him, he took the heavy armor and returned to the craftsman's workshop to continue making the armor.
Zhang Zhengdao led everyone back to Juyi Hall to discuss the matter of heavy armored cavalry.
"Brother Shiqi, this good horse from the north has to rely on your old acquaintance!" Sun An said with a smile.
A set of full armor weighs about fifty kilograms in total, and an ordinary horse cannot carry it.
Shan Shiqi replied: "My younger brother has already sent someone to deliver the letter."
"If Liangshan has these three thousand heavy armored cavalry, it will be just around the corner." Fan Rui began to think about it.
Fang Xuedu smiled bitterly and said: "Three thousand heavy armored cavalry, equipped with one person and two horses, will require 6,000 northern horses. In addition, plus the cost of making armor, I am afraid it will cost millions of money."<
/p>
Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Let Brother Wang Lun make more trips to Goryeo, and the money will naturally be enough."
It is now June. According to the days, Wang Lun has led the Liangshan fleet to Goryeo to sell silk, tea and other goods to earn money for the village.
Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Brother Sun An, on your trip to Jingnan, you can be accompanied by brothers Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi. You stay in the stronghold and build the framework of the heavy armored cavalry first.
Select warriors from the camp and form an army."
Sun An cupped his fists and said, "I'll take your orders!"
Bian Xiang suddenly shouted: "Fortress leader, my flying cavalry army can no longer take our brothers out!"
Zhang Zhengdao laughed when he heard this and said: "Instead of dismantling the flying cavalry army, we first draw out 500 elite warriors from each infantry battalion in the mountain village and practice them first. If there is a shortage of men behind, we will think of a solution later."
Sun An thought for a while and said: "Captain, the training of heavy cavalry is not something that happens overnight. Why not join the flying cavalry army first and train together."
Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "That's good. Let's practice together with brother Bian Xiang's flying cavalry army first."
Bian Xiang grinned and said: "As long as we don't dismantle my flying cavalry army, everything will be easy."
After the Flying Cavalry Army was organized and trained into an army, this man put in a lot of effort, and if one of them was missing, it would be like killing him.
Zhang Zhengdao silently made some further calculations and decided to recruit five hundred strong men to form a cavalry army, which was the limit of Liangshan.
What's more, at the moment, the cottage is short of horses, so we can only combine our forces in one place first, and then split them up when we have more money in the future.
