The emperor's face!
If these people are really incompetent, you can't expose them. Is it fun to slap the emperor in the face?
For these military generals, the emperor's affairs were not theirs to comment on. The civil officials could jump around, but they, the military generals, could not.
So Li Guangrong knew very well that he would not speak nonsense.
The others also looked into the distance, and after their eyes passed over the horses, they all looked at the people riding on them.
These people gave people a very different feeling. If you hadn't seen them before, you would have thought they were just show-offs. But now that you see them, many people feel that they are unusual.
These imperial guards on horseback were not very old or tall, but they were very strong, with long, dark faces and bright eyes, and they had obviously been through battles.
Besides that, let's look at their equipment. Each of them had two short guns slung across their waists and a long gun on their backs.
On the hook in front of the horse, there is a saber hanging, which is obviously a good thing. This kind of saber is also found in Liaozhong, and everyone has seen it. It is very popular among cavalrymen.
The armor on these personal soldiers was clearly iron, but it wasn't very heavy, rather thin and light. I wondered how defensive this plate armor, forged together, would be.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao was very clear about plate armor. It would be foolish to talk about defense without talking about weight.
Whether it is plate armor, chain mail, mail armor, or even fish scale armor, it is unreasonable to talk about defensive power without considering the weight.
After all, the heavier and thicker the armor, the higher the defense, and there is no dispute about that.
After all, in this era, there was no gap in materials, unlike later generations with iron armor composite armor and depleted uranium armor.
In this era, most armors were made of iron, and everyone's forging skills were not much different. Although Zhu Youxiao used better steel, it was not as strong.
However, under the condition of equal weight, plate armor has much better defense, especially in defending against bows and arrows.
If you were facing a heavy weapon like a meteor hammer, your defense would be limited by just one hit. Damage from such a powerful force would be difficult to defend against with any type of armor, there was no way around it.
However, the armor of these cavalrymen in front of me is all good stuff. It is light and thin, with very good defensive power. It is definitely the best at the same weight.
The reason why it is made so light and thin is so as not to affect their speed. Not all cavalry need to wear heavy armor.
Light cavalry pursues speed, and these are the ones in front of us.
They were armed with muskets, though the quality wasn't great. They had three muskets: one for long-range fire and two short muskets for close-range fire. Each could fire three rounds. Even without reloading, they were still quite lethal.
Moreover, after daily training, it was no longer difficult for these people to load bullets on horseback. These people were Zhu Youxiao's lancers.
As for the saber used by light cavalry, it is naturally a good thing.
The people in Liaodong were almost dumbfounded.
This kind of equipment is really tempting. It's not just about being rich, it's about being too damn rich. I really want to rob them! Take away all their stuff!
But soon, Xiong Tingbi's men's attention was attracted by other things.
Those were chariots.
Chariots existed before. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, people loved to use chariots in battle. However, with the evolution of warfare and the development of cavalry, chariots gradually became obsolete.
However, no one in Liaodong expected to see a simple two-wheeled chariot pulled by a horse in such a team.
Baigongyuan spent a lot of effort on this thing, whether it was the steel bearings or the plate spring shock absorbers, a lot of thought went into it.
Especially for steel bearings, it takes a lot of effort to make beads of the same size. In the beginning, experienced craftsmen polished them by hand.
Zhu Youxiao was very impressed by their keen eyesight and hand skills, which allowed them to achieve such a small error. In the Baigong Academy, the craftsmen who could turn beads by hand were all masters.
Later, the Baigong Academy developed new tools, which greatly improved the efficiency of bead making, but the scrap rate was still very high.
With these things, the small tank in front of him looked similar to an ordinary car, but its speed and performance were greatly improved. Especially in terms of steering, there was a qualitative improvement.
Everyone's eyes left the chariot and fell on the things on it.
The iron frame was loaded with cannons, which looked very strange. These cannons were pulled by chariots, which were obviously gun carriages.
Although the gun could not be fired while moving, it could be fired from the carriage. After the horses were removed, the gun carriage became the launcher, which was strong enough to withstand the recoil caused by firing.
Because this is a standard artillery, the elevation angle of the parabola has been set, and after adjusting it according to the scale, it can shoot at different distances.
