Song Jiang actually noticed it too.

Thousands of pro-military households were mobilized.

Compared with the cavalry of Hu Yanzhuo and Qin Ming Wanhu, Qinjun Wanhu's equipment is better.

It is quite terrifying for an army to have an armor rate of 100%.

That is to say, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the world was in turmoil and all the people were armed. Not only the regular army, almost every family of the Han people built a fort to defend themselves, and everyone wore armor and carried soldiers.

It would be difficult for the regular army to defeat these aristocratic families. Their advantage lies in their armor and horses.

Otherwise, there really is no advantage.

From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Liu Xiu succeeded in restoring the Han Dynasty, the royal family and aristocratic families shared the world. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so many powerful princes suddenly appeared for no reason. The eunuchs take turns.

If the relative is too ruthless, the eunuch will be replaced. If the eunuch is too bad, a group of eunuchs will be killed and the relative will be replaced.

But no matter what, there is no need for aristocratic families.

The family is already too strong.

General He Jin was deceived by his family.

He Jin simply did not understand why the emperor wanted to use eunuchs. He regarded eunuchs as his mortal enemies.

At the same time, it was the Yuan family's idea to bring Dong Zhuo to Beijing, and Dong Zhuo was an old member of the Yuan family.

Leading the border troops into the capital and killing the eunuchs, what's the point? Which family will control the world?

Naturally, he is the fourth generation and the third prince, the Yuan family, the first family in the dynasty.

You must know that the Yuan family is too powerful.

Even if Yuan Shu was destroyed and Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, it took Cao Cao eight years to conquer all of Hebei.

This is because Yuan Shao failed to solve the problem of heirs and the Yuan family was fighting among themselves.

Otherwise, given that the Hebei states have an heir whom everyone admires, Prime Minister Cao may not be able to succeed if he wants to take over Hebei. The chaos and war in the north may last for decades more.

The secret of the power of these aristocratic families lies in the large number of manors, and then they have a large number of private military units, which even carry soldiers, wear armor, and have their own cavalry, such as the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

In addition, he has deep and wide connections and has enough talents for both governance and leadership.

The momentum and public opinion are all in the family.

This process started in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was completed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the real clan system was developed. It went through the two Jin Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Song Qi, Liang Chen, and all the way to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The clan clan system still stood firm. Two-thirds of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty came from aristocratic families.

However, at this time, the clans first unified the dynasty and gave up their private armies. Later, vassal towns emerged and warriors ruled the country, which had natural restrictions on the aristocratic families. When Huang Chao was destroyed, the clans disappeared. By the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system had become Really mainstream, the aristocratic families of Rennian finally disappeared.

Of course, the imperial examination system also had aristocratic families. Many of the imperial examination aristocratic families in Jiangnan were from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they remained standing for hundreds of years.

But this kind of aristocratic family is different from a real family after all. The most critical thing is that there is no huge manor to raise soldiers, and there is no private army to use.

The powerful families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties owned at least hundreds of thousands of acres of land and tens of thousands of villagers.

There will also be a large number of craftsmen, blacksmiths, cobblers, and carpenters.

You can make armor, forge weapons, and build an army.

Just like Soochow, Sun Quan is said to be the great emperor. In fact, the Soochow army is composed of various aristocratic families. Everyone brings capital to invest, but the share capital may be large or small. Even if your Sun family is the major shareholder, don't think of being alone. big.

This is why the Jiangdong Rats of Soochow are extremely good at defending. Whether it is Cao Wei's army or Liu Bei's own expedition, the performance of Soochow's army is remarkable.

But if they were asked to take the initiative to fight against foreign enemies and shed blood and sacrifice their lives for Emperor Sun Quan's hegemony, it would be obvious that these wealthy families would not be willing to contribute.

The main reason for experts in civil war and outsiders in foreign war is that military power is in the hands of powerful clans, who are more than capable of self-preservation and insufficient in advancement.

In the Song Dynasty, people used bows and swords, but wearing armor was difficult.

Since the Tang Dynasty, private possession of armor has been tantamount to conspiracy. Although the aristocratic families are like centipede insects, the most powerful manor branch, the armored private soldiers, has been cut off. This is also the double responsibility of Huangchao and Fanzhen. After the suppression, this was the fundamental reason why the thousand-year-old clans in the late Tang Dynasty fell one after another and were even uprooted.

Even for rebels, there are not many who can fight with armor. The biggest shortcoming of the peasant uprising is not courage, but armor.

As for the armor paired with the war horse, that is the shortest of the shortcomings. This is the biggest gap between it and the officers and soldiers.

After all, Song Jiang was once the governor of the state government.

When Liangshan first gained momentum, even if armored warriors were forged day and night on the mountain, the armor-wearing rate was only 30%.

Even among the 30%, some are made of cotton armor and leather armor.

Light armor such as leather armor is designed to protect against incoming arrows. It has no defense against cuts from knives and stabs from spears and spears, and is of little use.

Of course the only thing that is really useful is iron armor.

It doesn't matter if it's scale armor or pierced armor.

The Liangshan cavalry in front of them all used one-piece breastplates. The front and back were all perfectly fitted together without any flaws. With the addition of the iron helmets, they looked like an iron man.

The armor rate of the pro-army guards is not only 100%, but also 100% cuirassiers. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There are thousands of other cavalrymen, but there are always some who wear armor.

After all, with the expansion of the Liangshan Army, the infantry's armor coverage rate is also required to be at least 30% iron armor and more than 70% leather armor.

The spearmen, sword and shield bearers arrayed in front all need iron armor, even breastplates.

Archers and crossbowmen can wear light armor, but they must also have armor. Otherwise, if the two sides shoot at each other, the one without armor will suffer too much.

Liang Shanjun also did this.

Along both sides of the river, cavalry and infantry were dispatched.

Obviously, everyone came by chance, Liangshan was already promoting changes in the battle situation.

The officers and soldiers are obviously getting weaker.

Because almost all of the battlefield is a plain area, people on the river can see very far away when they board the boat building.

After dawn, the horn sounded, Liangshan cavalry mobilized in large numbers, the armor was dazzling, and the spears were clearly visible.

(The layers upon layers of cavalry galloped forward, bringing out an indescribable momentum. There was even a feeling of sweeping across the world and looking invincible.

No wonder Li Jun had such emotion.

Green forest scenery, rivers and lakes scheming, in the face of such a majestic trend, what do they mean?

Everyone was dazzled by the sight, and the good man who had some regrets at first was glad to have listened to Li Jun's words and came to serve.

A little later, when the head of the family has dozens of military prefectures and two to three hundred counties, and the army reaches hundreds of thousands, what status will he have if he waits for a brave man to come?

Next, the officers, soldiers and cavalry appeared.

The two sides began to fight with cavalry.

Swords and spears intersect, gold and iron clash.

I looked at the battlefield scarves of different sizes everywhere for a while.

Song Jiang's face turned darker.

Obviously, the officers and soldiers cavalry are far from the opponents of the Liangshan cavalry.

Two years later, Song Jiang really didn't expect that Liangshan would reach such a stage..
