Section 1049 New Equipment(2/2)
With hydraulic forging hammers, large-scale production of sabers is possible.
From now on, between spring and summer next year, five to seven thousand sabers should be able to be produced.
If the materials are sufficient and the staff are fully equipped, ten thousand are possible.
With a minimum of 5,000 sabers, Zhang Yue will have 5,000 equipment by then. In this era, it is equivalent to a cavalry of alien technology.
Of course, a saber is not considered an alien.
Zhang Yue continued to draw.
This time he drew a pair of armor.
During the Battle of Mobei, he himself wore Milan Armor to fight to kill the enemy.
After experiencing it, he discovered many benefits and disadvantages of Milan A.
The advantage is of course that it is strong enough and strong enough!
The Huns' swords, guns, swords and halberds could not break the defense of Milan's armor at all. At most, they could only smash a small hole on the surface of the armor, which would make the people inside the armor feel a little pain.
However, this type of armor is too expensive and too heavy.
It is not suitable for cavalry use at all, or it is not suitable for large-scale equipment!
On the way back to the army, Zhang Yue had been looking back at the cavalry armor that appeared in various film and television game news materials in his memory.
Considering the current combat mission of the Han army and the future combat area, the heavy cavalry's heavy armor was naturally passed!
Because the current enemy of the Han army, the Huns, could not give the Han army's heavy cavalry room to play.
Light armor, sturdy, easy to use and durable, has become the standard for Zhang Yue's choice.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yue finally decided to focus on light armor and use only iron armor to protect his chest and abdomen.
Therefore, he imitated the style of the Mingguang Armor in the Tang Dynasty, and then used the breastplate model of later generations to design a set of light armor.
The core is two solid iron armor pieces that protect the chest, abdomen and back, while the other parts are made of leather goods.
In this way, it can ensure that the weight of the cavalry will not be too high, and the survival rate of the cavalry on the battlefield can also be ensured.
After drawing the drawings, Zhang Yue handed them to Ding Yan as usual, saying, "You must also ask Minggong to take out the finished product as soon as possible and test it!"
Ding Yan put away the drawings and nodded.
"In addition, let's arrange mass production of long swords and long bows made before!" Zhang Yue said again.
Modao and Changgong received good feedback in the Battle of Mobei.
Especially Mo Dao, after Zhang Yue tried it himself, he felt that it was great!
It is considered to be the most suitable infantry weapon to accompany cavalry operations.
The longbow is the best cover weapon!
Compared with the current bows and arrows of the Han army, the longbow with purple shirts as the bow body has the characteristics of long range, great power and simple and easy to use.
Ding Yan listened, nodded silently and said, "The Lord is obeying the general's order!"
Zhang Yue thought about it and asked Ding Sui: "Can Mr. Ding think of a way to improve the crossbow truck currently used by the Han family?"
During the Battle of Mobei, Zhang Yue felt the shortcomings of the long-range firepower projection of the Han army many times.
Although, compared to the Huns, they are not a little better.
But he is a time traveler, and he is a time traveler from an era with a deep "fire-deficiency phobia".
For Zhang Yue, more is beauty, big is good, caliber is justice, and turret is truth!
During the Battle of Mobei, he wanted to see many scenes where the Han army's crossbow troops covered all the enemies with one volley.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
The coverage of a volley of contemporary crossbowmen is less than one-third of the frontal area of the battlefield.
Even with more than ten crossbows accompanying the army, it is difficult to completely curb the enemy's offensive.
At present, the Han army's crossbows have numerous shortcomings such as slow loading time, low shooting accuracy, and high failure rate.
These disadvantages are mainly technical issues, especially mechanical technology.
If these problems can be solved, or partially solved.
Then, Zhang Yue believes that the combat effectiveness of the Han army will increase exponentially!
Think about it, in the future, when we fight with the enemy, we will have a round of crossbows shooting volleys, shooting their forwards into hornets' nests.
Isn’t the battles that followed much easier?
Ding Sui thought for a while and said, "You are doing your best, but you don't guarantee that you can succeed, nor can you ensure the time!"
The faults of crossbows are known to everyone in the world.
At that time, General Changping Liehou had repeatedly asked the Shaofu to improve the crossbow chariot, but in the past few decades, there has been no splash!
The crossbow cart is still the same, at most it only strengthens the range and improves the crossbow arrows.
Zhang Yue listened, although he was a little disappointed, he also knew that this was an objective problem.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry and said, "Mr. Ming just needs to do his best! Don't be in a hurry, take it slowly, if you don't have a year, you will be able to do it for five years, and if you don't have a five-year life, you will be able to succeed one day!"
In fact, he only has Ding Yan's attitude.
Because he was doing the trick of building a plank road openly to cross Chen Cang secretly!
The so-called improvement of the crossbow is just a cover, and the real purpose is to prepare for the future firearm era.
