Chapter 227: The Birth of the Shield Guard
There are only Guo Hao, Jia Xu and Chen Xi in the small bedroom. They are considered the absolute core circle. At most, there is Li Ru. The others may be more or less inferior, either because of insufficient qualifications or insufficient abilities.
"By the way, I heard that you, Zichuan, allocated a large amount of funds to Huangfu Song?"
Hearing Chen Xi's speech, Jia Xu scratched his face helplessly and began to change the subject. He simply couldn't understand Chen Xi's operating methods. The money spent every month was equivalent to that spent in a year when Liu Hong was in power, but the whole country was visibly getting better. The living standards of the residents in Luoyang city were such that they could eat meat every day.
It is clear that a few years ago, even the officials in Luoyang could not achieve this level.
Jia Xu was a little curious about what Huangfu Song had shown Chen Xi that allowed him to get so much funding from the stingy Chen Xi.
The funding obtained by Zhu Jun's revised Changshuiying and Lu Zhi's revised Sheshengying was only one-tenth of that of Huangfu Song.
"Yes, General Huangfu showed me a super interesting legion. It's a legion that doesn't care about quality but simply about equipment." Chen Xi rummaged in his pocket and took out a detailed military intelligence report and threw it to Jia Xu and Guo Hao.
"Shield guard? Isn't this just a revised version of the armored soldier? The cost-effectiveness of this type of soldier is too low, isn't it?" Jia Xu started to criticize after reading it. This type of soldier is too wasteful. One shield guard can be used to get ten double-talented warriors .
But Jia Xu felt that this thing seemed to be a universal type of soldier? It seemed that anyone could train it? This was interesting.
You should know that the most mainstream idea of the Han Dynasty was that those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die, so the legions of each dynasty and generation were basically different, and were all developed according to local conditions.
Therefore, the main generals of each dynasty and generation will leave deep marks on the developed legions. As long as the generals are replaced, even if they are of the same type, the combat effectiveness will also drop significantly if only the main generals are not replaced.
This is also the reason why it is taboo to change generals in the middle of a battle. Once the main general is changed, the combat effectiveness of the army will disappear several levels. If the gap in strength is not too big, the army may be overturned directly.
Just like Rui Shi, how could old killers like Duan Xing and Huangfu Gui not know that Rui Shi had many problems?
That's because they have no money. Apart from a few weapons, they have nothing else. If you want them to form shield guards, believe it or not, Liu Hong can exterminate all nine of their clans and then send the Yulin Guards to Xiliang to pacify the Qiang people.
If the Yulin Guard was not linked to the country's destiny and the empire's will, Liu Hong would have disbanded all the central troops before. Would he have kept such a powerful and influential army like the Yulin Guard?
Anyway, there are hundreds of recorded types of troops in the Han Dynasty. In order to fight the Huns, the generals of the Han Dynasty tried all types of troops before coming up with the current general distribution of the army corps, and then each dynasty continued to make changes.
The Changshui Camp in Zhu Jun's hands is already the seventh version. One can imagine how big a hole the Han Dynasty had in military training.
The biggest problem of the Han Dynasty was that there were too many big men, and the younger generations could never reach the heights of the past by following their examples. For Zhu Jun's seventh version of Changshui Camp, it would be impossible for anyone else to achieve the same effect even if they trained it. This was the same even if Zhu Jun did not use his legion talents to render the legion.
It is simply impossible to achieve the effect of everyone's unity. Once a head coach is changed, the combat effectiveness will immediately begin to fluctuate.
And you are like Roma, starting with thirty-three eagle flags and stable double talents. Although the difficulty of breaking through is doubled, it is universal and can be passed down.
Although this hellhole Central Plains seems a bit shady in theory because it has a period of transition, the reality is that the Han Dynasty has produced many big men from generation to generation, and theories are just a piece of waste paper.
In the Han Dynasty, the division was simple and crude: regular soldiers, elite soldiers, aces, and that was it.
As for more detailed divisions, forget it. You don't have any extraordinary achievements. No one is too lazy to give you a name. Even the history books are too lazy to record your name. They just call you elite cavalry, elite archers, elite infantry...
According to the current situation of the Han Dynasty, only the Yulin Army, Feixiong Camp, Xianzhen Camp, and Xiandeng Death Squad can have their names recorded. At least, they have to be at the level of Military Soul or above to be qualified to have their names recorded.
For example, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was recorded as an elite cavalry. It is impossible for them to get a title.
Let me give you an extremely realistic example. Back then, Li Ling led the elite Danyang army with only 5,000 people to fight against 80,000 Xiongnu, but they finally escaped. Didn't this kind of army have a name at the time? Impossible, there must be a name.
What was the result? In the end, it was just the four words "Danyang Elite". Of course, if you say that Li Ling defeated 80,000 with 5,000 men, then there would definitely be a record of his name, which can only mean that he was not strong enough.
After so many years of military service, there are only two universal types of soldiers. One is the Yulin Guard, which does not rely on a commander at all. As long as there is someone to organize it and it is recognized by the imperial will, it will be fine.
The other type is the Sharp Warrior, which focuses all points on damage and nothing else. Everyone knows how to do this, and even if you don’t know how to do it, you can just copy it.
The shield guard proposed by Huangfu Song now is obviously the third type. It is a universal type of soldier that can be produced stably as long as you have money and all the points have to be paid.
Chen Xi also knew that Huangfu Song's soldier type would cost a lot of gold, but this tank-like positioning really suited his appetite. A soldier with one talent could be trained, and then by equipping the soldier with heavy armor, he could be used directly as a soldier with two talents and thrown into the battlefield with maximum survivability.
Combined with the emerging medical system, the survival rate of these shields has reached its limit.
After playing a few games like this, it will be easy to get a double talent. If you just add some will defense to the double talent, it will really become a piece of iron plate without any flaws.
After all, being on the battlefield is completely different from being in training, and there is a lot of value in training for shield guards on the battlefield.
By then , as long as the economy does not collapse, it will not be easy for the Han Dynasty to flatten Europe with its sea of tanks.
After all, this hellhole of a place like Europe has been flattened by a sea of tanks more than once or twice.
If you lack quality, you can make up for it with willpower. If both are insufficient, you can make up for it with krypton gold.
The armor isn't thick enough? Then I'll keep strengthening it!
Wouldn't it be easy for over a billion people to gather together a million 200-pound strong men?
Each of them was equipped with a large steel alloy shield weighing 180 kilograms, and was covered in armor, with armor on the outside and leather armor on the inside, as well as a big sword. They could just go up and do the job.
What the hell are those arrow rain and sniper attacks, what the hell are those cavalry attacks, your shield guard grandfather doesn't care about anything except the temperature.
The temperature problem is easy to solve. The Han Dynasty has a means to solidify the dragon army formation. It is enough to simply engrave a small etching on the equipment to adjust the temperature. Etching is so simple that anyone can master it. This is also a refrigeration method developed by Chen Xi to preserve food. With Huangfu Song's shield guard, there is no pressure at all.
What's more, soldiers at this level with double talents can actually ignore some temperature and the like. After all, they are non-human creatures, so it is understandable that they are a little outrageous.
For example, if you throw Zhang Fei into a volcano, he can crawl out intact, just like taking a hot bath.
