Warring States Eagle

In the Luo family's firearms workshop, Zheng Liang was inspecting the forging process of various weapons, while recalling the current situation of the Luo family's arms reserves.

At present, the Luo family's warehouse has 20 shi of grain, more than 2000 taels of gold, more than 500 taels of silver, 25 copper coins, [-] spear heads, [-] bows, [-] bundles of nearly [-] feathered arrows and [-] samurai swords.

In addition to these armaments, there are:

Black Hawk Dagger.Since the dagger is easy to hide, and it is a sharp weapon for assassination and self-defense, since the first sample was made by the craftsmen of the weapon workshop according to Zheng Liang's drawings, it quickly became the favorite of the Black Hawk ninja squad of the Luo family.Later, these daggers were successively welcomed by the Luo family, such as the detectives, so this kind of knife, named by Zheng Liang as the Black Eagle Dagger, became the most popular weapon in the Luo family's standing.At present, there are less than a hundred daggers in the warehouse of the Luo family's territory. Almost every time a batch was made before, they were immediately claimed by the standing staff and retainers. In order to keep a little reserve, Zheng Liang had to suspend these black eagles. The distribution of the dagger, and it is limited to be used only by the black eagle and detectives (Zhengliang is also worried that a traitorous retainer will come to assassinate him with a black eagle).

As for the Feihuo Meteor projection vehicles, there are currently ten projection vehicles in reserve in the territory.Because in the previous Raiders of the Chikuzen Kingdom, the projectile vehicles that entered the battle for the first time played an unexpected siege effect, so the weapon workshop is stepping up the production of this type of projectile vehicles at this time.By the end of this year, it is expected that the number of projection vehicles in Luo's warehouse will increase to twenty.

Siege ladders.Because in previous siege battles, these ladders have shown some shortcomings.So after the continuous transformation of the weapon workshop.These siege ladders have been able to adapt to most mountainous and flat terrains.The ladder will become another weapon for the Luo family to attack the city.At present, there are [-] ladders stored in the warehouse (due to the excessive length. It is really inconvenient to store them. Under normal circumstances, Luo’s workshop adopts the method of temporarily working overtime before the war to build more ladders. There are [-] ladders. spare is enough).

Wrecking car.Its main weapon is a thick log suspended on the beam by a rope or chain inside it. There is a metal cap at the back of the log and a metal head at the front, mostly in the shape of a sheep's head.Called a battering ram.During the siege, the soldiers in the siege vehicle jointly grasped the battering ram and moved backwards and slammed it into the city gate, relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the gate or the latch structure behind the gate.This is a city-breaking vehicle that Liu Ye modified based on the city-breaking vehicle in the Ming army to adapt to the local mountainous terrain of the Japanese country.It is still in the experimental stage, so there is only one in the warehouse.

As the stock of necessary equipment for standing ashigaru, at present, the Roche family's warehouse reserves are enough to equip five standing ashigaru teams at the same time, that is, a total of [-] sets of ashigaru.A complete set of feet can be divided into three parts, namely pockets, armor (drums, sleeves. Caozhe), and small feet (cage hands. Dang, Pei).Therefore, making a complete set of equipment not only requires a lot of materials, but also takes a lot of time. Therefore, while the Luo's family weapon workshop can guarantee the supply of the daily needs of the standing equipment that is in service, it can also guarantee such a large weapon. The amount of reserves is already commendable.

Zhengliang thought that at this time, the number of Luo's family was definitely the largest among the big names in the Wa Kingdom.You must know that in the homes of some daimyos, only generals are eligible to wear such equipment (the torso of Japanese armor are collectively referred to as "body", so you often see "so-and-so body" in historical documents. The way of expression, but this does not mean that these armors belong to the body or the body, but just the name of the torso family. It can be seen that these are precious).

Moreover, the Luo family has also made some improvements to these features.For example, the apron on the top of the foot is currently only available on the top of the Luo family's apron. This kind of apron can protect the thigh.And it also has a black eagle pattern painted on it.Take this as a symbol of Luo's family's equipment.

In addition, the weapons workshop has modified the Luo family's equipment according to the characteristics of ordinary armor in the past:

From the point of view of the sufficient fixing method, the shoulders are still fixed by the yoke thread and the high button fixed on the breast plate.The opening on the rib also continues the tradition since the Great Armor, setting the opening on the left.However, the adequate design has been improved on the previous medieval armor of Dakai. It no longer relies on the shoulders to bear the weight of the entire armor, but distributes the weight to various parts of the body.

It can be seen by observing the feet of Luo's family that the torso of the feet is basically a cylindrical shape with two ends contracted, rather than a simple box structure.Through this design, part of the weight can be shared to the whole torso, which also greatly improves the flexibility of the wearer.

Because the original intention was to appear as an armor for actual combat on foot, the importance of defense and mobility was put above decoration.There are many different ways to make a full body, but in the Luo family, the body mostly uses iron sheets of about 0.8mm (this unit is the unit introduced when Zhengliang unified the territorial weights and measures).The sleeves used as shoulder armor generally adopt the same protective measures as the trunk.The cage hands of the arm armor also need to enhance the protection on the basis of the original armor such as the big armor, so the weapon workshop uses fine and dense cable armor on the cage hands to achieve this purpose.

After the iron cannon was introduced to the local area, the weapon workshop also made some improvements to the kit in order to meet the needs of bulletproof.For example, the dove breast carcass used by the Luo family at this time formed a protrusion in the middle of the breastplate to form a bulletproof slope, which is very similar to the practice of contemporary European breastplates.

Some breakthroughs have also been made in the manufacturing process of armor.Because the current production techniques used by other well-equipped workshops outside the territory are too cumbersome in the way of armor production, mainly by stitching small pieces together to form armor, it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.Therefore, Masaragi told the weapon workshop about the armor production methods of Iyozha and Banza in his memory. After some exploration, the craftsmen of the workshop finally mastered these two production techniques, which greatly reduced the production cost. time-consuming.

The reason why Zheng Liang spent so much energy to improve and improve the complete set is mainly because, among the standing combat power of the Luo family, the standing ashigaru is the largest force, so they can be said to be the main combat power of the Luo family.And the growth of each standing ashigaru requires a lot of resources from the Roche family.It can be said that they are valuable resources of the Luo family.Therefore, Zhengliang naturally spent a lot of energy to build these light equipment to protect them.In order to strengthen the cohesiveness of standing ashigaru to the Luo family, Zhengliang named this kind of ashigaru as Luo's azuki.

In terms of armor, since it is the standing equipment of retainers, generals and samurai, it will vary according to individual circumstances.However, for the samurai team directly under the command of Zhengliang, it refers to the armor structure of the Ming Dynasty, and adopts a kind of armor named Luo's armor by Zhengliang.This kind of armor is made of copper and iron. The shape of the armor plate is mostly "mountain" pattern. It is precisely made and light to wear. Below the waist, it is also equipped with iron mesh skirt and mesh pants, and iron mesh boots.Due to the limitations of production technology and raw materials, there are only more than 300 pairs of Luo's armor in the warehouse of Luo's family at present.
