Chapter 754

"This is natural. After all, our Song Dynasty has always been in short supply of equipment. We have always supplied the Forbidden Army and the Border Army mainly. As for the Xiang Army, they mostly use weapons and equipment that have been eliminated from the Forbidden Army and the Border Army."

"And armor is even more scarce in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, we had great victories in the past. Why were most of the captured armors shipped to the border areas? It was because many border soldiers could not even be approved for iron armor. , I can only rely on leather armor to cover my body." Zhe Keshi, who was beside him, explained to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang couldn't help feeling a little confused. "But those Xiang troops who followed me to aid Shaanxi Road, although they didn't have many armors, they all wore at least one piece of leather armor..."

Master Zhong and Zhe Keshi looked at each other, and finally Zhe Keshi coughed twice and reminded Wang Yang in a low voice. "That's Bianliang's Xiang Army after all..."

Wang Yang patted himself on the head suddenly, what the hell, how could he forget this one? Also, according to the imperial court, he can't wait to gather any good things in Bianliang, Tokyo, and Da Song likes it. The habit of concentrating the main military forces around Bianliang.

The equipment of the Xiang army in Bianliang, the capital, is naturally much better than that of the Xiang armies from all walks of life, because the Xiang army in the capital is also called the review Xiang army. This title still comes from the Renzong period, which means that it follows the methods and training of the forbidden army. To build a low-cost elite force.

It's just that in the end, the Xiang Army in the capital claimed to be modeled after the review Xiang Army, but in fact, they were only similar in appearance at most.But at least they look good, their equipment and everything else must be neat, and with the emperor at his feet, they should train more diligently.

But in fact, their battle, hehe... Anyway, after Wang Yang came to Shanxi Road, he also knew very well that the combat effectiveness of these Jingshixiang troops might not even be able to match those brave and ruthless village warriors in the northwest border.

However, those fucking reviewing army are equipped with neat armor, and now, most of the reviewing army and the forbidden army have returned to Bianliang, the capital, and only Huanzhou, where the Su University scholar is staying, still has [-] soldiers left. The Forbidden Army and the Ten Thousand Xiang Army.

Wang Yang couldn't help showing a sad look on his face.Even if [-] Xiang troops have migrated from Yan, You, and Hong prefectures, please note that a big problem is that there is no armor for protection, and another huge problem is the lack of long-range weapons.

On the battlefield, even if it is the defensive side backed by the city, fighting the enemy without the protection of armor is equivalent to a suicide act.

"Sir, what are you..." Seeing Wang Yang's extremely ugly expression at that moment, Master Zhong and Yuzhe Keshi couldn't help but look at each other, while Gao Shize, who also came with him, was also very confused.

Could it be that Mr. Wang is worried that a large-scale war will soon break out in these three states?But this is impossible.Nowadays, with the military strength of Xixia, it is already very good to be able to protect itself. How can there be any spare power to go south and attack these three states?

Unless they are not even prepared to take over Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the country, and intend to fight desperately.However, neither Gao Shize nor the officials present felt that this possibility would happen.

"How many Yuanyou crossbows and divine arm crossbows are there in Youzhou?" Wang Yang didn't leave these people much time to think, and directly began to ask in detail about various armament issues in Youzhou.

The defenders in Youzhou City had 60 divine arm crossbows, [-] Yuanyou crossbows, [-] riding bows, and more than [-] walking bows.The total number of arrows and crossbows stored is [-].

Of course, there are weapons workshops, armor workshops, and crossbow workshops in such important border towns to maintain daily consumption, and to repair damaged armor and weapons after the war. Maintain a certain amount of consumption.

Don't look at the number of crossbows and arrows as many as 60, but the problem is that the consumption of these things is definitely not ordinary fast. When Zhe Keshi guarded the defense line of Hongdezhai, he carried more than 30 rounds of crossbows and arrows. , In just a few days, there were only [-] rounds left, which shows that the consumption of long-range weapons is extremely alarming.

Even if the defense strength of the fortress in Youzhou is far above the defense line of Hongdezhai, if you want to rely on 60 rounds of long-range weapons to defend it for three months, it is simply unrealistic bragging.

But anyway, there are a lot of bamboo and feathers stored in the city, and it is not a big problem to make the same number of crossbows and arrows.

But the problem came back again. Relying on the tens of thousands of defenders alone to deal with the attack of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, they will inevitably lose sight of one thing and lose another. But if these unarmored Xiang troops are on top, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which will greatly affect the morale of the army.

Before, Wang Yang considered to send another [-] troops from Hongzhou to help garrison here, but now it seems that adding another [-] armless troops is like sending [-] lambs to be slaughtered. practical.

No wonder that in the Song Dynasty, Xiang troops generally did not have to go to the battlefield, but the problem was that the iron armor and even leather armor that had been captured had been transported to various border guards.

And in the land of these three states, in each state city, there is no more than [-] pieces of spare armor and leather armor in stock at most, which is really too small.

#####
"My lord, what are you worried about? Don't you think that with Xixia's current strength, can it be possible to raise a large army?" After entering the city and entering the mansion, at this tasteless dinner, Zhe Keshi couldn't help it. I asked a question.

And Youzhou guards Zhong Shihe, Gao Shize, and Youzhou Tongjuan Tang Xuncheng all set their eyes on Wang Yang's sad face.

Wang Yang finally made a decision, even if he was ridiculed in the end, so what?
It is much better than having to think of ways to remedy the situation by yourself when something really happens. At least you can remind yourself in advance, so that everyone can be mentally prepared.

After thinking clearly, Wang Yang cleared his throat and walked around the desk, looking at the civil and military officials in the room, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, maybe Mr. Wang is worrying too much, but maybe it's not because Mr. Wang is being sentimental. There is one thing that I didn't want to say, but it is related to the land of the three states of the Song Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Life is in danger, even if this news may be biased, I also think it is necessary to remind everyone..."

Fortunately, due to the trust of the officials present in Wang Yang's long-standing behavior and superpowers, they did not immediately subconsciously think that Wang Yang was grandstanding, but listened patiently, wanting to know who Could it be that the old driver really found something.

"Wu Qilang, take out the things..." Wang Yang turned his head and tilted his head towards Wu Qilang.Wu Qilang took off the wooden box he was carrying and opened it, revealing a piece of silk cloth with a pattern inside. Then, he and Ling Zong carefully spread it out on the ground in the room.

Zhe Keshi couldn't wait to stand up, and when he saw the standard place names on the silk cloth map, he couldn't help subconsciously saying. "Isn't this the map of Beiliao?"
