Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 82 Winter Offensive Plan
Changsheng refused to distribute the hundreds of armors in the warehouse to the cavalry, which is why Qin Qiong came to look for Changsheng.

Qin Qiong is a general on horseback. He started his career in the cavalry and has a close relationship with the cavalry, so Qin Qiong wanted to do something for the brothers in the cavalry.

"My lord, the equipment of the cavalry is worse than that of the infantry. It's too shameful. This will seriously affect the morale of the cavalry. Moreover, it is not easy for us to form a cavalry. At least no one is equipped with a set of iron armor. I only need armor now. .”

"You think cavalry are precious?"

"Yes, aren't cavalry precious?"

"You're right, but it's because cavalry are precious that I don't give them armor." Changsheng turned his head and ordered solemnly: "Don't secretly give Qin Qiong armor, otherwise this general will never let him go lightly!"

"I understand the humble job." Fang Xuanling smiled and looked at Qin Qiong, spreading her hands and making a helpless expression.

"I don't understand the humble job, why is this?" Qin Qiong pulled a bench and sat down in front of Changsheng, as if he didn't want to leave today if he didn't convince me.

Changsheng smiled and was not in a hurry. He picked up a brush and started digging his ears, but the more he dug, the more he became addicted: "General Qin, what kind of mission do the cavalry of my Changsheng Battalion usually perform?"

"Reconnaissance, pursuit."

"Correct!" Changsheng was reluctant to use her precious cavalry battalion to confront the opponent head-on, so the training of Changsheng battalion mainly revolved around infantry and archers.

The purpose of Changsheng is to use the infantry as the main force of the attack. After the infantry phalanx is used to defeat the enemy, the cavalry will chase and finish.

"So, what kind of armor do you need for chasing? The enemy's butt is facing you. Isn't it enough for you to hold a knife? You don't need armor for reconnaissance. The leather armor they are equipped with now is quite good."

"That's the truth, but..." Qin Qiong felt confused by Changsheng. It seemed that the other party was talking nonsense, but he was surrounded by the other party, and he couldn't think of how to fight back for a while.

Changsheng put the quill pen back into the pen holder, "Don't worry, I will equip the cavalry with iron armor sooner or later, and I will also equip them with the best armor, but that is not now. After the new generation of iron armor is successfully developed, then you You will find that the current equipment is not worth mentioning at all.”

"Why is the iron armor so powerful?" Qin Qiong's eyes widened.

"You will see it soon, it all depends on this baby." Chang Sheng gently stroked the screw on the table.

In Changsheng's understanding, there is an armor that is much more powerful than the scale armor used by the Sui army today, that is, the plate armor, which may have benefited from his previous life playing Blizzard's games.Therefore, I put forward my own views and suggestions on the plate armor produced by the steel factory:
The first point is that the plate armor should be lighter than the scale armor, of course this is under the same thickness.

The second point is that the weight of the scale armor is mainly concentrated on the shoulders, which will affect the flexibility of the arm movements.

And thirdly, twenty catties of scale armor is less than ten catties of iron, and twenty catties of plate armor is twenty catties of iron, so Changsheng simply believes that the defensive power of scale armor is lower than that of plate armor .

But the fact is that the advantage of the scale armor is that after one piece is damaged, you only need to remove the damaged scale and replace it with a new one, and the entire scale armor will be restored to its original state.

The disadvantage of this design is that when hit, not the armor absorbs all the impact, but the human body also bears part of it, which leads to the possibility of people being injured. In the final analysis, human life is not as valuable as armor.

But Changsheng doesn't think so at all. In her opinion, talents are the most precious war resources.Each of her soldiers is a non-renewable precious resource that must be cherished, so she will follow the path of elite soldier strategy, and spare no expense to develop new weapons and armors to ensure the safety of soldiers' lives.

Whether the Turkic bows and arrows can penetrate the thick plate armor is a big problem. Even if they can, the ones shot must be at the level of Zhebie.And according to the law of energy conservation, after penetrating through the steel plate more than an inch, how much power can be left is a big question mark.

It's just that under the current situation, the price of a pair of plate armor is really expensive, and once it is damaged, it is difficult to repair, and there is a high probability that it will have to be recast.

But with screws and machine tools, mature forging technology will soon be born. Once hydraulic forging is realized, plate armor will be able to exceed the production speed of scale armor.

……

After the East Turks in the north were attacked by Changsheng in the Tiele part of the West Turks, they calmed down a lot, and since they started to trade goods with Changsheng, the living standards of the tribes have improved significantly.This also aroused the jealousy of many tribes in the Western Turks. Compared with the two, some tribes have defected to the Datou Khan of the Eastern Turks one after another.

Now only some tribes that have close contacts with Western Turks are still supporting Tiele, but the momentum is not as good as before.

With the big nail of Dunhuang County in front, if you want to attack the Changsheng Camp, you must either bypass the Dunhuang defenders, or go west to the Taklamakan Desert and make a surprise attack in a large circle.

And no matter which one of Dunhuang and Changshengying is attacked, the other person can sneak attack from behind, forming a situation of two sides attacking, this is mutual horns.

As long as the Turkic people recklessly attack a few times, their second position in the Northwest Frontier Army will be stable, and even Yang Guang will not be able to attack him easily.

At the military meeting, Zhang Baozang came up with their newly discussed plan: "My lord, this is our designated winter offensive. Please take a look at it, Your lord."

This plan is mainly aimed at the Turkic bunkers and outposts that were previously built near the Longevity Camp. Some subordinates proposed to take some boats to pull hundreds of brothers to the other side of the river dozens of miles away and demolish them all.

But Zhang Baozang always thought that it was used by the enemy to disgust us, and it was of little use in actual combat, and even if you demolished it, they would still sneakily rebuild it, so demolishing it was of little significance.

Because they have idle Han peasants and Turkic auxiliary soldiers in their hands. Anyway, they have nothing to do and don't mind comparing the speed of infrastructure construction with you.

Fang Xuanling also agrees with this point of view, these sporadic outposts that mainly seek information and are supplemented by disgusting people are not to be feared.

"Let's seek a direct confrontation. These disbanded guys are not suitable for the current Changsheng army. Try to eliminate as many Turkic main forces as possible." Changsheng said after thinking.

Now the Changsheng Battalion has established five infantry companies, one cavalry battalion, and one artillery company.

With the supply of military equipment and food, the infantry equipment has been upgraded again, and a new batch of soldiers has been trained.

In addition, the ironworks not only created a batch of new helmets, but also produced many cannons. After continuous training, Changsheng is also preparing to add them to the combat sequence.
