The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 33: The First Heavy-Armored Mo Dao Army of the Three Kingdoms

"Mr. Zhongde, I'm not afraid to tell you."

"In my imagination, all this is just the beginning!"

Ye Chen helped Cheng Yu up.

Thinking of the existence of the Reputation Mall, I feel more confident.

Now it’s just 2000 kilograms of fine iron.

In the future, we will conquer enough territory and gain enough reputation.

In the future there will be 2 kilograms, kilograms, or even million kilograms of refined iron.

What Ye Chen wanted was not the fish scale armor.

I want to compete with other princes in the future.

He must build a groundbreaking army.

A unit that is stronger than ordinary heavy infantry.

The Tang Dynasty's heavily armed Modao Army.

A real battlefield meat grinder.

"Mr. Zhongde, come and take a look at this set of armor I designed."

Ye Chen pulled Cheng Yu to a heavy infantry armor.

He was wearing heavy black armor, with a cold glow on the surface.

Different from the light and fluttering feeling of fish scale armor.

This heavy armor looks extremely solid at first glance.

Ye Chen also specially matched iron armor, face guard, shoulder guards, gauntlets, etc.

It truly achieves 360-degree protection without blind spots.

"Lord!"

"You wouldn't want to use all the two thousand kilograms of fine iron to make this kind of heavy armor, right?"

Cheng Yu only took a glance at the armor and knew what Ye Chen was thinking.

"nature!"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Anyway, he was not very satisfied with the big man's fish scale armor.

For the Tang Dynasty's Modao Army, who wanted to fulfill his idea, relying solely on the protection of fish scale armor was far from enough.

Only this kind of heavy armor.

This is the heavy armored infantry he envisioned.

Ye Chen knew based on the little history he had.

Throughout the late Eastern Han Dynasty and even throughout the Three Kingdoms period.

There was no heavy armored infantry corps.

The only thing similar to heavy infantry was the one Yuan Shao spent countless costs, resources and energy on.

The halberd warrior created.

pity!

This unit of heavy infantry had just appeared and had not yet had time to demonstrate its power on the battlefield.

He was simply played to death by someone while flying a kite.

As for the cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period.

Mainly composed of light cavalry.

For example, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Volunteers, and the Wudang Flying Army.

They are all the best among them.

Based on this information.

Ye Chen believes that it is necessary to build a heavily armed Modao infantry.

Just with the right tactics.

It is a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

to this end.

He specially exchanged one hundred Mo Dao from the system reputation mall.

The Tang Dynasty's heavily armed Modao Army was put to good use in Li Jing's hands.

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, everyone will think of it first.

That terrifying Tang Dynasty Modao Army, which could be called a meat grinder on the battlefield.

To know.

The Tang Dynasty's Modao Army was able to confront the elite Turkic cavalry head-on.

Under the command of appropriate tactics.

It can even defeat cavalry that is several times its number.

In this era, cavalry is mainly light cavalry.

That would make them even more like toys for the heavily-armored Modao Army.

In order to overtake on the curve, Ye Chen racked his brains.

"My lord, I think this is absolutely unacceptable!"

After knowing Ye Chen’s thoughts.

Cheng Yu quickly advised.

"May I ask, lord, how much will this armor weigh after it is finished?"

"Thirty-two pounds!"

Ye Chen remembered this number clearly.

"My lord, please think about it!"

"This kind of heavy armor, just wearing it, would probably tire most soldiers to death!"

"Not to mention marching and fighting, charging in armor!"

At this point, Cheng Yu's tone became more anxious.

Wearing such an iron shell, no one can kill you.

You can't hit anyone else.

This armor has good protective properties.

But it's not practical.

There's no other reason, it's just too heavy.

after all.

The enemy is not stupid either.

I can't just stand there and let you chop me!

The armor alone weighs thirty kilograms.

Including other weapons, it would be a conservative estimate of 40 kilograms.

This is equivalent to every soldier carrying a bag of rice while fighting.

Who can bear it?

and so.

In Cheng Yu's opinion, the Han Dynasty's standard armor is more practical.

A suit of armor weighs only a dozen pounds.

It does not affect the mobility of the army.

"Mr. Zhongde is right!"

Hear the words.

Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

As a time traveler, he still knows this common sense.

but.

Heavy armored Modao infantry needs to be combined with appropriate tactics to exert its maximum power.

In Ye Chen's opinion.

There are only a few types of battlefield environments that the Modao Army is most suitable for.

One is sniper warfare.

It is similar to the Tang Dynasty blocking the Turks on a snowy night.

The Tang Dynasty's Modao Army was on the route that the Turkic cavalry had to take to escape. Only by blocking them could they decide the outcome of the battle.

Another type is the rear-end battle.

Let the heavily armed Modao troops stop the enemy's pursuit.

Anyway.

The heavily-armored Modao Army can be considered a trump card for turning the tide on the battlefield.

If there is, maybe the situation can be reversed in an instant.

Without it, there would be no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

so.

No matter how you look at it.

Ye Chen still believes that having one more trump card is better than having no trump card at all.

Even if he is allowed to develop light cavalry now.

For one thing, he didn't have that many horses.

Secondly, he didn't think that his ability to train troops was better than those of the big guys in the Three Kingdoms period.

No matter how much he practiced, he could not catch up with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Wudang Flying Army, and the White Horse Volunteers.

Then he might as well just give up.

Take a new path.

after all.

The system's reputation mall's special items give the option of Mo Dao.

If not.

That would be a shame.

Ye Chen just made the best choice for him under the right circumstances.

Furthermore.

He is not a fool either.

We can't let the heavily armed Modao troops chase the enemy's infantry and cavalry!
That's what a real brain disease is.

Anyway.

Ye Chen has confidence in the heavily armed Modao Army under his command.

because.

This new type of military force has proven its terrifying power on the battlefield.

Wait until the day when the heavily-armored Modao Army is truly formed.

The soldiers under his command will use the Mo Dao to tell the entire family.

Times have changed!

It's time to look forward.

Jiangdu County.

Inside the barracks.

"You are trash!"

"Has everyone not eaten yet?"

"It's soft, just like the noodles we eat."

"Remember your identities. You are the Yellow Turban Army, and you are the rebels in the eyes of the officers and soldiers."

"If you don't want to be killed by soldiers in the future, practice with all your might!"

In the school grounds.

Captain Lin Chen stood on the high platform and shouted harshly at the soldiers below.

In the school grounds.

The Yellow Turban soldiers, holding long spears, were practicing stabbing movements.

"Put on some more strength!"

"After training, do you still want to eat braised chicken legs and braised eggs?"

"Do you still want to eat mutton noodles?"

Hearing these words, the soldiers who were in training couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

shouted back.

"miss you!"

Under the temptation of delicious food, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training instantly increased.

Ye Chen on the podium.

Looking at the training enthusiasm of his soldiers, he nodded with satisfaction.

He felt it was time.

Time for some food bombs for these soldiers.

A new three-piece set of braised pork, pan-fried pork, and beef brisket stewed with potatoes.

Let you, the natives of the Three Kingdoms, be shocked too!
