Chapter 3420
New Armor Arrives
...
After carefully examining the armored troops of the Han army, Kailash frowned, gaining a clearer understanding of what a so-called fully armored force was.
"The Han army is as insanely extravagant as ever, with everyone wearing steel armor. It's such a waste of such precious armor and equipment." Kailash complained insincerely, looking at the scene he observed through his Heavenly Eye technique.
As for whether it's wasteful or not, it's just talk.
As for the actual situation, Kailash was well aware of it.
The combat effectiveness of an army is itself composed of small groups of soldiers. The stronger the combat effectiveness of an individual soldier, the more terrifying the combat effectiveness will be when the organization and coordination are the same.
In situations where one side has armor and the other side does not, it is indeed possible for an unarmored soldier to defeat an armored soldier, but such cases are rare.
When the size of a group increases to the level of a legion, factors such as armor can even become a major factor influencing the outcome of a war.
At the level of large-scale legions, the impact of equipment and armor becomes even more pronounced.
Fully armed armor and helmets not only provide soldiers with defense, but also help stabilize morale.
As human beings, the mindset of seeing oneself in plain clothes versus seeing oneself in full armor is completely different.
As opponents, seeing the enemy in their simple clothes and the armor on their own side gives them an initial advantage in morale and fighting spirit.
Perhaps for true masters, confidence and arrogance both originate from within and are not swayed by external circumstances.
However, for the vast majority of ordinary people, especially for the vast majority of soldiers, self-confidence basically comes from external sources.
The weapons and armor one wears, the excellent commanders and generals, and the vulnerable enemy soldiers can all serve as external manifestations of confidence.
With these support, soldiers have confidence and firmly believe that they can win the war. Their willpower and combat effectiveness are constantly approaching the upper limit of their own combat effectiveness.
It's important to understand that simply being able to consistently maximize the combat effectiveness of soldiers is of immense value.
After all, the strength that a soldier can exert is subject to fluctuations and often depends on the soldier's own condition.
In a sense, the Han army's preparations significantly enhanced the minimum requirements for its soldiers.
This is not a good thing for a legion commander like Kailash.
"The old method of judging whether a legion is elite by its equipment is completely ineffective against the Han army. The Han Empire is indeed crazy. No wonder those people in the north can't forget it." Kanak, who also withdrew his gaze, was full of resentment in his words.
Regarding war, virtually none of the legion commanders present were afraid.
Born and raised here, as an elite from the Brahmanical system, even though I am quite capable, I am still influenced by the Brahmanical system, so I don't place much importance on my views on life and death.
However, not being afraid of death does not mean being fearless or making reckless judgments about the current battlefield situation.
“I originally thought that the hot weather would restrict the Han army, but it seems it has little impact on them…” Kailash nodded as he watched the Han army advance. He reached out to feel the temperature around him, as well as the imposing aura and pressure emanating from afar. After a moment of contemplation, Abaz chose to remain silent.
Even from such a distance, one can feel the pressure and aura emanating from the other party, which is a perfect display of domineering power.
Without any pretense or concealment, they directly adopted a defensive posture, appearing ready to engage in a decisive battle with them.
But under the current circumstances, how could they possibly engage in a decisive battle with the Han army?
Even if Commander Rahul were present, could they really lead such a force to contend with such an elite Han army?
"But we're lucky. The rear has sent us another batch of newly manufactured armor. There's a lot of it, enough for at least one set for each of our frontline troops..." Seeing that everyone felt the pressure, Kanak clapped his hands lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then announced some good news.
"Armor sent from the rear?" Kailash frowned slightly, quite surprised. "Could such a large quantity of armor be manufactured in such a short time?"
Although it is known that artisans in the Brahmanical system are hereditary and possess excellent forging and manufacturing skills, it is still quite surprising that they were able to complete the task of manufacturing armor in such a short time.
“In that case, let’s go take a look and, while we’re at it, get the soldiers’ equipment replaced…” Kailash said with a hint of excitement as he turned his gaze away from the Han army’s equipment.
As expected of an empire, after the war with the Han army, under the guidance of Commander Rahul, the empire quickly recovered and began to recast a large number of elite weapons and armor.
Thinking about all this, Kailash admired Rahul even more.
He truly deserves to be called the best commander. He can see the big picture from small details in the war and make up for his own shortcomings.
Faced with Kailash's words, everyone present did not hesitate or delay, and returned to the camp as quickly as possible to see the equipment transported from the rear.
Find out the quantity and type of equipment, and then allocate and replace it as soon as possible.
Without knowing the exact number, everyone was quite anxious.
After all, the equipment is to be distributed to the soldiers. If there is a lot of it, everyone will get some. But if there is a small amount and not enough for everyone, then there will naturally be some negotiation.
Anyway, after spending a long time together, everyone understands a certain principle.
Whether it's distributing military supplies or military industry, regardless of one's thoughts, one still has to go.
As long as you go, everyone who sees it will get a share; everyone will get a share.
If you don't go, you'll most likely not get any points.
Whether they are thinking of themselves or the legion, everyone will speak up and make allocations when necessary, without any negligence or carelessness. Sometimes they will even argue, and some will even fight.
With hundreds of thousands of troops at the front, if we don't prioritize seizing equipment, we might end up with nothing.
It was precisely this distribution system, where entry guaranteed a share, that allowed everyone to quickly return to the central army camp, where they saw new equipment manufactured within the Brahmanical system. (End of Chapter)
