Chapter 33 Armor Riding Equipment

Seeing the performance of everyone in the tent, Chen Kefu was also very moved and his eyes were not wet.

When one person is willing to give up his life for you, then what kind of feelings are more touching than this? Through time, Chen Kefu has finally been no longer alone. He has family in Chenjiazhuang and many brothers in the military camp.

"I have decided, so don't say much. I remember that among the military equipment seized by the Goguryeo people, there are a lot of horse armor and heavy armor? Can anyone tell me how many of them are?" Chen Kefu asked the generals in the tent.

The general remembered that there was indeed a batch of such materials in the warehouse of Xincheng. Bei Zhi also asked Gao Qi at the beginning. According to him, this batch of materials was originally to be transported to Liaodong City. Later, it seemed that because Liaodong City was under the siege of our Sui army, the Goguryeo people transported the materials to Xincheng. According to Gao Qi, these were originally made by the Goguryeo royal family at a large price, and so far they have made so many pairs, and they have been used since the end. They originally planned to get them to Liaodong City to deal with our Sui army, but they did end up falling into our hands. The inventory of this batch of materials was as large as 3,000 pairs. The Goguryeo people did spend a large price. The cost of such three thousand sets of armor was enough to create 20,000 sets of Mingguang armor."

Chen Kefu only saw this thing on the material list, but forgot the specific number. He looked down on this thing at the beginning because he thought it was not very cost-effective and would have too many restrictions. But at this time he remembered this thing. Three thousand pieces. If he had this thing, then his travel was a little more guaranteed.

"Take us to the warehouse now. I will see whether those things are as reliable as the legendary ones. If they are really that magical, then I will rely on him all for this." Chen Kefu said to the Warden Counselor.

The generals were confused about the conversation between the two of them like a mystery. They didn't understand why it was not horse armor and armor. Although the cavalry and war horses were rarely worn in armor, there were still many war horses with leather armor. Is this batch of armor different? Everyone couldn't help but become extremely curious about this thing. With the steps of the Warehouse Consul General, everyone came to the middle of the camp to pile up equipment in a short while. At this time, most of the warehouses in the middle of the camp were already distributed because of weapons and other defensive materials, and most of them were empty, but more than half of the warehouses were piled up.

Following the steps of the Warehouse Consul General, everyone finally walked into a palace in the Tent. The warehouse was still full, without reducing it by half.

Counselor Cangcao said to several guards, "You guys, carry a box out and open it for you to see."

Several soldiers hurriedly carried a box from it. Looking at their hard work, everyone knew that the size of the things in the box must be quite light. Several soldiers took out their knives to pry open the wooden box. As the box opened, everyone finally saw the things inside. The armor was all armor, and they were all brand new armors that had never been used. However, these armors were not much the same as usual armor, and even looked so strange.

Chen Kefu looked at the armor in the box in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Take it out quickly and place it for me, I want to take it in detail."

Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and took out the armor in the box one by one. After a while, they were all placed on the ground in front of everyone. Although they were placed on the ground, they were all arranged according to each part, and they looked like a very complete set of armor.

Mr. Li Benlei looked at everything in front of him in surprise and said tremblingly, "Are these made by the Goguryeo people 'armored cavalry equipment'?" Mr. Li was very familiar with the things in front of him throughout his life. Although he was not used in the army now, he was still very familiar with them. Among the border troops of the Great Sui Dynasty and the Imperial Guards in the Capital, many troops were equipped with these armored cavalry equipment. This time, he did not bring these with him to the Liao Dynasty.

Hu Hai also said excitedly, "Yes, this is the armored cavalry equipment, the most powerful heavy-armored cavalry armor in my Great Sui Dynasty. Damn, why did the Goguryeo people actually have the method to make these armors? Fortunately, they only made three thousand, and fortunately the useless man Gao Qi did not let the cavalry equip these armors last time. Otherwise, we might have defeated the last battle in Xincheng." As he said that, he felt a sense of fear.

Zhang He also squatted on the ground with his eyes shining and looked at the armor, reaching out and gently stroking it. This is the final level equipment of the cavalry. Put on these armors, which is a symbol of invincibility for a cavalry. Although it is a bit exaggerated, for every cavalry, they have fantasized about entering the heavy cavalry unit. However, such armor is too expensive, and for heavy cavalry, their input and use restrictions are too high. Only in the decisive battle of the large corps can they play a decisive role. However, the Sui Dynasty has long surrendered all over the world, and the opportunities for heavy cavalry to appear are fewer and fewer opportunities. Up to now, heavy cavalry has basically become the guard of the emperor's emperor's honor, and is always used by His Majesty to show the power of the Great Sui army in front of those foreigners. It is difficult to see their shadow in the real war. Even the three campaigns of Goguryeo have never seen them.

Looking at the reactions of the veterans, Team Kefu couldn't help but re-identify the heavy cavalry's understanding. In his previous understanding, since the Sui Dynasty, the heavy cavalry had withdrawn from the equipment sequence of the Central Plains regime in China. So he always thought that the bulky heavy cavalry was something that would have been eliminated long ago. Therefore, although he knew that he had seized this thing, he was just surprised, but he did not think about anything else.

But looking at the generals' eyes shining, he understood that heavy cavalry will always be the king of cavalry. Once the heavy cavalry comes out, no one in the world dares to compete. It seems that he has to find a way to stay these three thousand pairs of armored cavalry equipment, and maybe one day it will play a big role.

Lu Shishen looked at everyone with some confusion and said, "General, isn't this the secondary armor? Are you so excited to use it?"

As soon as he said this, Li Benlei, Hu Hai, Zhang He and other veteran cavalrymen all looked at him like a fool. The old man Youyou said, "As long as there are three thousand heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry, they can fight 30,000 enemy troops with three thousand in a head-on decisive battle, especially the most effective impact on the cavalry Chen Xing. If the two armies fight decisively, they are equipped with heavy infantry, plus the light cavalry of the wings, and finally the infantry phalanx is behind, then they can be invincible on the battlefield, and no army can stop such an impact."

Lu Shishen didn't care at all and grinned, "Didn't that mean that he is invincible in the red-mounted market? Why are there fewer and fewer things now?"

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "It seems that you are really a little brainy. Heavy cavalry, like heavy infantry, plays a huge role in array warfare. But what opportunity does the Sui Dynasty have to fight such a war now? Nowadays, we are all fighting small-scale battles, even if we are conquering Liao, it is just a siege battle. The Goguryeo people did not fight head-on with us, so there is no chance of playing in the field in Liaodong. Moreover, heavy cavalry is not without weaknesses, and the weakness is that they bear weight. This set of armor has nearly 80 kilograms of horse armor, and the soldiers' armor is also more than 50 kilograms. With weapons and other objects, a horse and a man and armor can carry two or three hundred kilograms of weight. Therefore, heavy cavalry has extremely high requirements for horses and soldiers, and cannot fight long distances. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer heavy cavalry with high cost and high limits."

Mr. Li Benlei nodded and said, "That's true. As long as the opponent burys the ground, set up a tripping rope, use a long bow to fight the enemy, or use a long gun array of heavy infantry to face each other, the heavy cavalry will not be able to perform any effect. This is exactly what is called a thing to overcome one thing, but the biggest function of heavy cavalry is the deterrence. The impact of heavy cavalry is too strong, and the enemy will be accidentally attacked by the indomitable momentum of heavy cavalry."

Under Chen Kefu's instructions, Luo Lin quickly brought Chen Kefu's Qingzhi. There was no problem with the armor and riding equipment of the Western Regions. The armor and riding equipment of the Goguryeo people was exactly the same as that passed down from the Central Plains and Northern Dynasties. The entire horse armor part was also composed of six parts. Face curtain; chicken neck; chest; horse armor; back; parasitic. The "face curtain" is a narrow metal protective surface with eye holes on it, mainly protecting the face of the horse; the "chicken neck" is actually a pair of armor on the horse's neck, made of armor, with buckles in front to buckle it; chest; horse armor; back; back, it is a large piece of armor behind the horse; and parasitic is more distinctive, it is an upward broom-like thing placed at the tail of the horse, mainly protecting the back of the cavalry.

When Qingzhi finally got fully equipped with the entire horse armor, she immediately went from a beautiful and mighty white horse to a steel giant beast with a strong sense of murder. The whole vest was black, and this vest was the most gorgeous set specially selected by Consul General Cangcao from this batch of armor riding equipment. It was probably specially made for the main purpose. It can be seen that the entire vest is not only exquisite, but also has spikes of fine iron that are protruding about one finger on the face curtain, and there is also a spike of fine iron like a horn on the forehead, which adds a bit of ferociousness to Qingzhi. Qingzhi, equipped with the vest, also shook his head and sneeze a few times, shaking his head as if he was adapting to the extra long horns.

Chen Kefu stroked the vest on the treasure and said happily, "This big thing can be accomplished. Everyone, let the thousands of soldiers who went to fight immediately select the best horses from the army, one of which is equipped with a vest, one without armor. In addition, each cavalry is equipped with a bow, a crossbow, two pots of arrows, a horizontal knife, and a horse spear. They are covered with an inner armor on their body and a layer of bright light armor on the outside. You must use the best armor. Go quickly!"
