Chapter 291 The first battle against Liao (12 more updates for AT)
At the same time, on one side of the camp, Lang Qing opened an oilcloth covering the cart and looked at the armor that covered the cart.
I took a piece of short headgear from among them, put it in my hand and played with it carefully.
Then, other large vehicles around were loaded with various weapons and equipment, and from time to time, he took out one piece and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, I suddenly said with some emotion:
"Damn! Isn't the equipment of the Northern Song Dynasty very good? Why did it turn out to be so messy when it came time to actually fight?"
The reason why Lang Qing had such a strong emotion in his mouth was.
It was after several days of blending and bargaining that Yang Dongli finally reached an agreement with the supervisors, accountants and other logistics bureaucrats of the Military Transportation Department.
With some pearls, spices, and silver, they purchased a batch of weapons and armor that was enough to re-equip their entire motley infantry camp.
You can arm all the brave warriors in the infantry camp who only have some tattered equipment.
As for Hu Biao and the others, they only need to complete their equipment now, although many of their armors are leather and paper armors.
Those hundred yellow birch crossbows need to be discussed carefully.
After thinking about this, Lang Qing picked up a yellow birch crossbow and used his feet to complete the winding process.
In other words, the durability is not as good as iron armor, and it will be a big trouble if it rains.
To be more specific, the elite cavalry composed of Xi Ren and Khitan attacked Yang Keshi's left and right wings.
This is a two-handed crossbow that can be carried and used by a single person, and requires pedaling when cocking.
In such a process, Lang Qing does not need to be involved at all. Naturally, Fengrui, AT and others are responsible. As for him, now he has more important things to do.
On the one hand, the material of the armor is stronger.
****
After the equipment was brought back, it was naturally distributed as soon as possible.
Specifically, they replaced the wooden wheel bearings with some emergency-processed ball bearings using stainless steel balls they brought over.
Others were sweating profusely on the training ground.
After all, among the elite Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the Forbidden Army troops defending Xixia in border areas such as Shaanxi Province, the armor rate reached 70%.
In such a situation, Lang Qing, as the team's equipment expert, took Wu Zu, an assistant, with them to check the quality of the equipment.
After some inspection, it turned out that it was just as the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty boasted in history:
"The strength of military equipment has never been seen in recent times."
It is said that at a range of more than 240 steps, that is, 370 meters, the power is still quite good, and it can shoot into an elm tree to a depth of half an arrow.
After Tong Guan and Tong Taishi heard the news, they issued a series of strict orders to restrain the Song army from acting rashly.
That night, I received such news that Lao Zhong Xianggong, Zhong Shidao, had a very bad idea in his mind.
Yang Keshi, the Huazhou Observation Officer of the Great Song Dynasty, sighed silently and allowed his bodyguards to pull the horse's head and routed towards the Chinese army at Baigou River.
The Bailu soldiers under Yang Keshi were the only heavy cavalry unit in the Northern Song Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness was quite good.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, operating like a business, early this morning Yang Dongli took a few veterans and a group of soldiers and went out for more than an hour.
The so-called modern times means from ancient times to the present. This means that the armors of the Song Dynasty are so good that none of the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty can compare with us~
However, during the battle, Yelu Dashi led his own troops and personally joined the battle; he withstood the repeated attacks of the Bailu soldiers until Yang Keshi's two wings were defeated.
He immediately turned to face the soldier and said:
"Go and call the blacksmith Lao Tie over to help. If he doesn't come, ask the war elephant to beat him to death."
Countless spears were raised, and it felt like a forest of spears...
It's not about modifying weapons and armor, but about something else that's even more important: the cart.
It can be regarded as a means of quickly constructing a defensive fortification in the field.
At least in terms of armor, it has reached a 100% level.
Many people may not be very familiar with the name Huanghuanu, but the name of its other name, the "Great Song Divine Arm Crossbow", must be quite familiar.
With this in mind, Lang Qing wielded a hammer and removed the wheels of a large cart, then calculated the time and amount of work.
The equipment on the vehicle is enough to make the entire miscellaneous infantry battalion at least a step ahead of the elite troops of the Western Army in terms of equipment.
In the city of Yanjing, Yelu Chun received the good news and burst into tears of joy. He couldn't help but murmur to himself that Yanjing was saved.
After nodding, the soldiers walked towards the training ground on one side, where more than 500 brave warriors had already formed a tight battle formation under a suit of armor.
Even though such a change is not big, the effect is indeed amazing.
This is also the biggest task currently given to Lang Qing and Wu Zu by the team.
In addition, you need to cut some grooves on the frame and prepare some wooden boards. Once needed, the wooden boards can be stuck on to form a wooden wall and vehicle array.
Even the legendary paper armor is made of hard cloth mounted on bones and then paper tendons. As long as the workmanship is not cut corners, the defense is actually quite good.
After Lang Qing's inspection, in terms of weapons and armor, it was found that compared to the Dou Gu Army of the Han Dynasty and the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, the ordnance of the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed much stronger.
Not to mention how excited the cannon fodder warriors were when they lined up to receive new equipment.
Yang Keshi's elite white soldiers rushed towards the position of the opponent's central army and the banner of Yelu Dashi's central army. The key to the battle was whether the Liao soldiers broke through the two wings first, or whether their own central army was broken through.
Behind them are a large number of heavily armored white soldiers, their bodies covered with arrows, fighting to death on the charge.
Dozens of miles to the north, at the vanguard position of the West Route Army, the first battle of the Northern Song Dynasty's army against the Liao Dynasty finally started; more precisely, it was in the afternoon that the Liao soldiers took the initiative to launch the attack.
Lang Qing took out a ring-head knife from his waist and poked it with the sharp tip. He found that these paper armors made by Bianliang Governor were very strong, not much weaker than iron armor, and their lightness was indeed greatly increased.
Seeing their two wings, the warriors of the Song Dynasty could only lose one of their legs and fled frantically.
Three hours later, after eating a meal of rotten meat noodles for lunch, Lang Qing had assembled a brand new cart and felt the good effect in defending against arrows.
It is precisely because of this that it is extremely lethal.
Facing a wooden pile about 300 meters away, he pulled the trigger in his hand and cursed heavily: "What the hell! You missed the shot~"
He immediately issued an order to add 30,000 troops to the front line, all of which were put under the unified command of Dashi. This was almost the entire wealth of Bei Liao.
So among the weapons Yang Dongli brought back this time, except for a total of four double-bow crossbows and large crossbow arrows.
There are also one hundred and fifty step bows and one hundred yellow birch crossbows; forget about the step bows, most of them are seven-dou bows, and a few are eight-dou and nine-dou bows.
When we came back, there were a dozen large trucks behind us.
At least it can more than double the speed, load capacity, and service life of the cart.
On the other hand, the Song Army was quite good in terms of long-range firepower. In many units, the proportion of bows and crossbows accounted for more than half of the entire army.
If we follow the original historical line, this will be the beginning of a series of tragedies in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But instead of here, there was an additional Xuange Battalion team of about thirty people, and 472 daredevils who were armed to the teeth.
Whether there will be specific changes or how big the changes will be, even Hu Biao and others have no confidence at all; they are just doing their best and obeying fate.
What makes them even more depressed is that when the news of the defeat of the Western Route Army's forward troops came, there was still no response to the first phase of the system's mission...
