Chapter 1125 Improving the Combat Effectiveness of Dajiang Warriors
Plate armor defense can be said to be the most powerful in the cold weapon era. Knives, guns, and swords cannot break through plate armor.
If the plate armor has a hollow design, it can even defend against armor-piercing hammers!
The emergence of plate armor is the pinnacle of cold weapon defense.
Even in the age of firearms, ordinary muskets cannot break through plate armor.
The most important thing is that the damage rate of plate armor is much lower than that of chain mail.
Since we are going to make plate armor, we must improve our forging technology.
Otherwise, if we simply beat the iron frame manually, we will have to hammer it until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
He consulted the system and compared the various suggestions given by the system. He felt that the most suitable thing for forging plate armor was similar to the barrel cart he had made before.
Drum carts were used for irrigation and were driven by water power.
The water hammer he wanted to use to forge the plate armor also used water power to rotate the hammering tool.
The water hammer was used to pound rice in ancient China, but in Western Europe it was used to beat plate armor repeatedly.
Using water hammer to beat plate armor greatly improves the efficiency.
Of course, in addition to beating plate armor, it can also be used to beat weapons.
After deciding to make the water bucket, Mufeng once again had the idea of upgrading the tribe's weapons.
Anyway, he has only one purpose - to maximize the combat effectiveness of Da Jiang warriors!
Attack power and defense power are the ultimate goals he pursues.
If he were not restricted by the conditions, he wished that Dajiang's current Dajiang soldiers could all hold submachine guns in their hands and "chunk" whenever they fought, saving time, trouble, worry and effort.
Of course, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
All he can do now is honestly upgrade his cold weapons.
He came up with plate armor for defensive armor, and he had new ideas for weapons.
This new idea was mainly thought of because of the "helplessness" when facing the armored dragon and mammoth during the battle with Yunmeng.
When the two armies were fighting with ordinary cows and horses, they basically did not pose a threat to Da Jiang, and they could be dealt with with the Thunder Leopard.
But once the opponent has a heavy mount involved, Da Jiang has no other choice but to face it head-on.
Firstly, it’s because the Huleibopard can only frighten ordinary mounts.
Secondly, the heavy cavalry has great impact and destructive power. If Da Jiang wants to defeat these heavily armored cavalry, at least he can hold them back with the almost identical heavy cavalry, and then he can do other things.
However, the heavily armored cavalry also had shortcomings.
Especially when attacking long distances, timely support cannot be achieved, and the consumption on the way is also a huge expense.
Therefore, if Da Jiang's warriors do not have to struggle against heavy cavalry in the future, the best way is to increase the edge breaking degree of their weapons.
Now, although Dajiang's spears and swords are absolutely powerful weapons compared to other tribes, they are very weak against heavy horses such as mammoths and armored earth dragons.
If you want to be lethal against these heavy mounts, you still have to return to long guns and hard crossbows!
Mufeng compared the various standard weapons provided by the system and decided to choose the ancient Roman javelin, divine arm crossbow, three-bow crossbow, and eight-oxen crossbow, which were highly lethal and destructive weapons.
The ancient Roman javelin was a combined javelin thrown with one hand. It was a wooden handle connected to a half-meter to one-meter long spear head in front.
The connection between the handle and the head of the ancient Roman javelin was bound with wood chips, and the head was in the shape of a square pyramid.
The biggest feature of this gun is not that it can break through thick defensive armor, but that it is disposable.
Once hit or hit by a blunt object on the battlefield, the wood chips at the handle and tip of the gun will crack, and the tip of the gun will bend, making it impossible to pick it up and use it immediately, avoiding the possibility of being picked up by the enemy and fighting back.
The manufacturing process is not a problem at all for today's Dajiang.
The main strength of the divine arm crossbow, three-bow crossbow and eight-oxen crossbow is the powerful force of sinking.
The difference between the three types of crossbows is that the God Arm Crossbow can be carried by one person, but it is more bulky than a bow and arrow.
The three-bow crossbow and eight-oxen crossbow need to be fixed with a wooden frame, which is more suitable for city defense battles, ambush battles, etc.
Moreover, the "arrows" used by these two crossbows are no longer arrows, but spears and javelins used by warriors!
The destructive power can be imagined!
…
When Mu Feng handed the blueprint to Qi Ge, he was shocked after reading the blueprint.
Because he spent a long time building weapons and looking at blueprints, he could already understand how powerful the weapons in front of him were.
Especially the appearance of plate armor made him extremely excited.
He said excitedly: "Great Chief, are these weapons used against heavy armored cavalry?"
Mufeng nodded: "Yes!"
At the same time, he was also very relieved because there was no need for him to explain.
Qige asked again: "Would it take too much iron to make this kind of armor?"
Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "If you can protect my Dajiang warrior from being injured or dead on the battlefield, no matter how much iron you spend, it will be worth it!"
Qi Ge nodded heavily: "Yes, I will personally supervise the craftsmen to build it."
Mu Feng nodded, then turned and left.
Next, he will be busy querying the system, comparing the information given by the system, and continuing to edit various new regulations.
As long as the military system is finalized, the next few details will be easy to handle.
…
The boundary of Changli is near the old lands of Bailong and Jujiaobu.
A team of no less than a thousand people appeared here
.
This team was led by Bai Yue, Konoha, Moko Khan and Morhan, followed by a group of warriors and ferocious beast mounts.
They came to the two old lands this time to explore the secret place where the yellow Hulei Leopard was found by Morhan.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Bai Yue specially brought Heyong, Bajie, the Armored Earth Dragon, and the flying pigeon messenger to transfer Konoha from the White Ape's old land - because he now changed his mount to the whining horse. Thunder Leopard.
Because this Hulei Leopard was covered in a complex shade of yellow and looked like scales at first glance, Konoha asked Mufeng to give it a name that matched its image - Huang Linpi.
When they arrived at Huang Linpi's "hometown", the horse was obviously very excited.
Several times he tried to break out of the team and take the lead into the mountain, but Konoha stopped him.
Konoha didn't pay much attention to such abnormality. After all, the horse had not been under his hands for long, so it was normal to be a little disobedient.
He came to Bai Yue and said with a smile: "Leader, do you think we can catch another Hulei Leopard this time when we enter this valley?"
Bai Yue smiled and said: "How do I know? Just like the big chief's big thunder, I have never seen another one in Dongshan and Nanshan."
"Then why are we still here?" Konoha shook his head, "You have to come all the way from the White Ape's old land. Don't you know that among the few city lords, I am not actually stationed in the city?"
Bai Yue smiled and shook her head: "You can tell the chief and the chief about this yourself."
Konoha shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just build the new city honestly. Maybe I will become the lord of the new city in the future?"
Bai Yue chuckled and said: "Probably not, after all, the city needs someone like you."
Konoha smiled and said: "Isn't the Thunder Dragon already there? Why do you need me?"
Bai Yue smiled and said: "He is a leader after all, and you let him stay in Kuaiwei City?"
Konoha pouted: "If Hanshu is still nestling in the Dragon City, Xishou, the city lord, will have nothing to do!"
Bai Yue laughed and shook her head: "How is that possible! It's not like you don't know about the battle in Wan Zhangyuan."
Konoha glanced back: "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have discussed with the chief and let me go to the Dragon City!"
Bai Yue shook her head again and said with a smile: "What did the chief say at first, asking you to go to the Dragon City? If you don't do it, do you regret it now?"
Konoha sighed and scratched his head: "Who would have thought that across a vast plain, that Yunmeng Club would really dare to come..."
Before he could finish speaking, Morhan, who was leading the way, shouted: "Chief, we are here!"
