To be lightweight, only lighter weight is the most suitable for archers, many archers in ancient times, they were wearing leather armor, or even not armor, the reason is because wearing armor, it is easy to affect physical strength, the physical strength of the archer, represents the combat effectiveness of the archer, once the archer loses its physical strength, it also means that the attack power is almost zero.

Even if there is a fortress defense, Zhao Xin does not dare not be armored, in this era, the only thing that can threaten the fortress is the bow and arrow, theoretically, on the fortress, with the help of height, if you throw it, there are not many arrows that can affect it, but you are not afraid of 10,000.

The number of people is one of the biggest problems in Miaojiazhuang's defense, the opponent may be ten times, or even twenty times, in this case, even if it is ten for one, it is also a loss on Miaojiazhuang's side, and Zhao Xin can't watch this happen.

Counting the ancient armor of China and the world, the most suitable for archers is probably leather armor, but good leather is not easy to obtain, and an excellent leather armor is often made of cowhide, etc., which requires time and energy, which is also somewhat unsuitable.

Suddenly, a name flashed in Zhao's confidence, paper armor, this kind of armor in the Northern Song Dynasty, which had just appeared, and there was not even a large-scale arrangement, in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, large-scale development, to the late Ming Dynasty, the entire army, basically paper armor.

Paper armor, basically, is all made of paper, with excellent defense and light weight, which basically meets Zhao Xin's requirements.

Papier-mâché, often used to describe the tofu slag project, but this point is placed on the paper armor, which is really a little wronged to him, the paper armor is the same weight and the strongest protection.

The strength of paper is often ignored by many people, after all, paper is so common that even a three- or four-year-old child can easily tear off the paper, so it gives people the impression that the strength of the paper is very weak.

But after special treatment, a newspaper, lifting a hundred kilograms of things, it is still possible, it sounds very fantastical, but in fact, according to a certain procedure to do, it is really possible, paper after specific treatment, its strength is, to put it bluntly, paper is also a kind of fiber, and polymer fiber materials, this is the development direction of new materials in later generations.

3-inch paper armor, in the same weight, or even higher weight of protection, is particularly strong, especially arrow defense, 3 inches thick paper armor, enough to resist most of the arrow attacks, the most important thing is that his weight is very light, for archers, is the best armor.

Even in order to increase the strength, you can cover the periphery of the paper armor with a layer of skin and inlay with iron sheets, the former can defend against rain and water erosion of the paper armor, while the latter is to resist some too sharp weapons.

The only disadvantage of paper armor is this, you can't see water, water has a huge erosion effect on paper armor, no matter how to deal with paper armor, once it encounters water, it is really tofu scum, sharpness is also a weakness, the natural strength of paper, concentrated together, in the face of some blunt weapons or arrows, it's easy to do, once you encounter a sharp weapon, the edge can break through the paper armor casually, damage him, the strength of the iron sheet, even if it is only a thin layer, under the willfulness of the paper armor, increase the strength of defense.

The leather is there, Zhao Xin can show some of the leather armor of the forbidden army, cut him, separate the thick leather armor, form a small outer layer, as long as the water is isolated, as for the iron sheet, you can choose the thinnest kind, one or two millimeters thick, even if it is pasted on the outside of the paper armor, it will not add much weight.

In the end, an adult man, 2 inches thick, with a layer of cowhide and iron paper armor, the total weight is only about 9 catties, far lower than ordinary armor, but in terms of protection, it is very good.

A paper armor was tried by Sun Ji himself, and the moon bow he took out was only within 100 meters of the paper armor.

But even if it is the moon bow, after penetrating the paper armor, it does not penetrate, penetrating 1 inch, under the cessation of the paper armor, it cannot enter, what does it represent, except for the body, a few vital places, others, it is difficult to penetrate, and even because of the relationship between muscles and bones, it will be shot into the flesh and penetrate deeply, and it will be reduced by a lot.

15 stone strong bow, throughout the Liao, Song, Xixia Three Kingdoms, can afford to hold, there are a few people, such an archer with Sun Ji at the same level, can be at a distance of 100 meters, through direct shot, through this paper armor, this defensive strength is already very high, it can be said that on the battlefield, wearing him, in the face of most of the arrows, can be ignored, if you add a good helmet, the survivability on the battlefield will be stronger.

In fact, the helmet arranged by Zhao Xin was a little higher than he imagined, full coverage, instead of the traditional faceless helmet, and even the eyes would be equipped with colorless crystal pieces, so that even if it was accidental, the arrows that shot at the eyes would be blocked by the crystal.

Such a level of luxury, is it still a longbow team, even the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the defensive strength has not reached such a frenzy, when 100 pieces of paper armor are manifested through the embodiment system, the training of the militia has also changed.

Before, I was worried about injury, and the training intensity has always been relatively low, which is nothing more than the training of personal basic strength, longbow, and some defensive routines.

Now, basically, the actual combat training has been added, 500 people are responsible for attacking, 100 people are responsible for defense, and the rest of the spectators, at the beginning, are arrows without arrows, paper armor with full armor, excellent defense, so that these arrows do not play much role, and they will not worry about danger, and they can also increase the intensity of training, so that they can taste the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance.

In the later stage, after being proficient, simply use real arrows, in the use of a longbow, at about 200 meters, to the premise of throwing above the 40-meter-high fortress, the range and attack power of the longbow are much smaller, less than 40 meters of gravitational acceleration, you know, the height of the longbow projectile, the highest is fifty or sixty meters, to the height of 40 meters, almost the end of the strong crossbow.

Even the longbow is so weakened, the traditional short bow will only be weakened more, coupled with the special arrow defense of the paper armor, after a drill, it is full of twenty or thirty arrows, but it is still alive and vigorous, and it does not affect the battle and activities, even if it is the well-informed Sun Ji and others, they did not expect that a paper commonly used in daily life will have the effect as promised.

The strength of the fortress itself, coupled with the super defense of the paper armor, made Sun Ji begin to feel at ease, the regimental training of 700 people, plus a few of their generals, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 forbidden troops, they can also use defense, with the help of the longbow team, to hold the fortress, and it is not to destroy these rebels, as long as they hold on, and wait until the surrounding troops come to quell the rebellion, their task will be completed, for this, they have great confidence.
