Chapter 891 Strategic Equipment (2)
For throwing soldiers, the method of manual throwing is not only slow, but also relying entirely on manpower. It also requires the dispatch of archers to shoot fire arrows to ignite the thrown guns to assist in the throwing soldiers' battles, which greatly affects the effect.
Moreover, when throwing guns, throwing soldiers are easily targeted by enemy archers, so they are equipped with another shield. The throwing soldiers fix the shield behind them. Once they find someone shooting on the opposite side and cannot avoid it, they immediately turn around and use the shield to block the attack. In melee, the throwing soldiers can also form a shield team and form an attack defense team with spearmen, archers, etc.
In the case of poor manual throwing effect, it is naturally proved that using special throwing tools is the most appropriate. Unfortunately, Liu Ye and others in the Weapons Square were still doing their best to study it. Therefore, they could only temporarily adopt the manual throwing method.
For the navy, the navy will only drive some of the warships to patrol the sea (when the navy is patrolling, they will bring some reserves as regular training for the reserves), and the remaining ships will be parked in the navy camp. Once the war begins, the reserves will be temporarily summoned and peasant soldiers (fishers) will be recruited, and all warships will be fully activated.
Similar to the seven permanent ranks on land, the four permanent ranks, in addition to the special weapons of their respective arms, each of them also has a pair of Luoshi (the complete set is mainly composed of wood pieces and leather armor. Once the regular set falls into the water during the battle, it will replace the driftwood effect to prevent the regular set from sinking into the water, but it also makes the regular sets floating on the water become the target of the enemy's army), a pair of Luoshi cloth shoes. In addition, the archers and iron gunners will also be equipped with a samurai sword to facilitate close combat with enemy warships on the sidelines.
In terms of the regular cavalry teams, each equipped with a war horse, a horse gun, and ten light javelins (before a fierce battle with the enemy, all javelins are often thrown out first), a pair of Luo family, and a pair of Luo family cloth shoes. The reason why the cavalry is not equipped with Luo family armor is that Luo family is lighter, which greatly reduces the burden on the war horses and is conducive to the long-term running and fighting of war horses.
The standard equipment for the samurai team is each with a pair of Roche armor (the whole body is made of iron pieces, a bit similar to chain mail, but it is more simple and bulky), a pair of Roche cloth shoes, and a samurai sword. In addition, the two hundred spearmen with a Roche standard three guns. One hundred archers with a archer with a longer range, and the other one hundred archers with a slightly closer range but more penetrating Roche bow. As for the iron cannons, the regular samurai warriors with a regular iron cannon, and several bullets and gunpowder.
The cape crowd is similar to the cavalry's regular equipment. They also have a war horse, a horse gun, a pair of Luoshi cloth shoes, and a samurai sword. But unlike the cavalry's regular equipment, the cape crowd is also wearing a white cape with a black eagle, and they are equipped with Luoshi armor. As both cavalry, why are the armors worn by the two different?
The reason is that the two ranks have different responsibilities. The cavalry ranks are used for long-distance combat, while the cloaks are responsible for close-up protection and no long-distance raids are required to fight. Naturally, there is no need to pay too much attention to the burden on the war horses.
Like the cloakers, there are also cavalry soldiers of the Luo family and the reconnaissance officers. In order to quickly convey information and commands, their standard equipment is one war horse, a samurai sword, a samurai bow and a samurai team. In addition to being responsible for the operation of the five samurai, these regular equipment are also qualified regular equipment, so they are also equipped with a samurai sword, which will help them fight in close combat when the enemy approaches.
As for the Black Hawk Ninja Army, because it needs to be hidden around to monitor, it is only equipped with ninja exclusive clothes, Black Hawk Dagger, Kwai and other ninja equipment. As for the eldest daughter Meiji's Red Ghost Ghost Team, its standard equipment is a Black Hawk dagger, a Luoshi bow, a naginata, a pair of red leather armor specially created for him by the Luoshi House, a war horse, and a red cloak. Due to the restrictions of the Luoshi House rules, these equipment are basically provided by the Luoshi House, but the Luoshi House, controlled by the wife of Masayoshi, paid for the purchased coins, and are not provided free of charge by the Yaoshi House.
The above is the situation of all the regular equipment of the Luo family. Their equipment is unified according to the weights and measures of the Luo family, which will facilitate maintenance. Moreover, among the regular equipment of the Luo family, there is no flag pointing for convenience of action. At the same time, each team will have a flag bearer who specializes in supporting the flag. However, in order to distinguish the camp, there will be obvious black eagle logo of the Luo family on their body and armor.
Compared with the unified standard of Luo Family equipment, the Luo Family's regular reserves and temporary peasants' weapons directly use various weapons and armor seized from various forces (mainly all kinds of equipment), and the equipment on their feet is also the straw sandals that are currently popular in various parts of the Warring States Period.
After all, these captured weapons can still be used, so it would be a pity to bring them back directly. With the purpose of carrying things to the fullest, Zhengliang used them as armor and weapons for the regular reserves and temporary peasants. It is precisely because these regular reserves and temporary peasants are not equipped with equipment with obvious Luo Family logos, in order to better distinguish the enemy and our camps on the battlefield, they retained the tradition of carrying flag-finger objects.
So, with the military strength of more than 30,000 people and such high-quality equipment, can the Luo family's logistics meet the requirements?
The first is the issue of military rations. After years of reserves, although the Luo family consumed a lot of food in the just-concluded Battle of the Island and the Western State Guide, the Luo family's warehouse was still stocking 430,000 shi of food. It was about to harvest in autumn, and millions of shi of food will be placed in the territory warehouse.
