There are many parts of a set of plate armor, and with the help of craftsmen, Lu Fei successfully put on plate armor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Put on the helmet, the current Lu Fei is like a steel monster, he is wearing plate armor and walking around excitedly.

"Yes, very flexible." Lu Fei said excitedly: "I just don't know if this plate armor can resist the sword." ”

"It's not easy, Zhao Hu, go and give him a knife." Xiao Ming said.

The cold sweat on Zhao Hu's head suddenly remained, "Your Highness, this ......"

"What are you afraid of, let you come, mother-in-law, are you a soldier I brought out?" Lu Fei scolded.

When Zhao Hu heard this, his face suddenly darkened, he pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and pointed it at Lu Fei is knife, which was slashing at Lu Fei's abdomen, only to hear the sound of metal rubbing against the plate, and it just appeared on the plate armor

A shallow scar from a knife cut, although Lu Fei took a few steps back, he was not injured at all, and he didn't even cry out in pain.

"Your Highness, I don't have anything to do, come and give me a few more knives." Lu Fei said excitedly.

Zhao Hu was also surprised, at this time he was relieved and bold, and took the knife to Lu Fei and slashed hard.

Lu Fei retreated again and again, but it was still the same as the first knife, he slashed for a long time, and only felt a slight pain.

Zhao Hu was interested, stabbing one after another, non-stop, until Lu Fei kicked him down, he didn't stop.

"Stinky boy, look at what my baby armor has ruined for you, it's all knife marks." Lu Fei said in pain, and then said to Xiao Ming with a salivating face: "Your Highness, give me another set, you see this set is cut for this kid." ”

Xiao Ming pursed his lips, "This set of plate armor will cost at least thirty taels of silver to produce, you really dare to say it." ”

"Thirty taels?" Lu Fei said in surprise, "This is my year's worth of money." ”

Xiao Ming naturally scared Lu Fei and wanted him to cherish it, but if this plate armor really uses the previous forging method, it really can't be forged without thirty taels, but now because of the hydraulic forging hammer, the slave is free, and this set of plate armor is actually about the same price as a ploughing ox.

"This is still less, your armor is a general's armor, the thickness and carving are different." Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei's intestines suddenly turned blue, and he looked at Zhao Hu viciously, "You pay!" ”

Zhao Hu said aggrievedly: "This is what you asked me to cut, and besides, I don't have any silver." ”

Seeing Lu Fei's extremely painful appearance, Xiao Ming no longer teased him, but said: "That's it, for the sake of your meritorious work in Cangzhou, this plate armor will give you three sets." ”

"Your Highness!" Lu Fei was overjoyed.

Touching his whole body armor like a baby, Lu Fei said again: "Your Highness, this armor is really powerful, it's invulnerable, now you give me 10,000 soldiers equipped with plate armor, do we still need to be afraid of barbarians?" ”

"You can't talk nonsense." Xiao Ming's expression became serious, and in order to avoid Lu Fei's arrogance, he said: "Although the plate armor is strong, it will also reduce a little flexibility. ”

Lu Fei moved for a moment and said, "It's a little, but it doesn't have much impact, the main thing is whether the bow and arrow can shoot through this plate armor." ”

"Ordinary cast-iron arrowheads can't do it." Xiao Ming bluntly said that the forging technology used in his plate armor is basically equivalent to the modern seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and there is no corresponding special arrow, so the damage to the plate armor will not be great.

In fact, even the early muskets were not able to penetrate the plate armor, and it was not until the firearms became more powerful that the plate armor became obsolete.

Xiao Ming now equips his army with plate armor just to cope with the situation in Dayu, and for the technology he has mastered, the production of plate armor is much faster and the cost is much cheaper.

That's why he chose plate armor.

"Really?" Lu Fei's mouth grew even bigger, and he couldn't wait to put on the plate armor and go to war immediately.

"This is only speculation at the moment, and how it can only be tested by war." Xiao Ming said that this is his sincere words, and any equipment can only distinguish the advantages and disadvantages if it has experienced war.

Lu Fei was now fascinated by Jingliang, and he didn't know if he heard Xiao Ming's words, and said, "Your Highness, I will take these three hundred sets of plate armor back to the barracks." ”

"Wait, what are you anxious about, there's something here." Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the craftsman took a weapon with a long handle and a long blade.

"Your Highness, is this the Mo Dao you said?" Lu Fei said.

Last time, Xiao Ming said that he would take him to see Modao, and he always remembered this.

"That's right, this is the Mo Knife, specially designed to deal with the barbarian heavy cavalry." Xiao Ming said.

Today's grassland Manchus are mostly light cavalry, but there are also a lot of heavy cavalry, which are the elite of the barbarians.

This method of defeating the army of the Great Yu State is basically incomprehensible.

Lu Fei picked up the Mo knife and shook it, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this Mo knife is not light, sixty catties." ”

"Therefore, this kind of Mo knife is enough to kill people and horses with one blow if it is slashed." Xiao Ming said that the Mo knife is all made of stainless steel, and the handle is very long, similar to the head of a spear, but it is long and wide, and it is very sharp.

Lu Fei rubbed the Mo knife in his hand, with the plate armor, if this Mo knife was to fight the cavalry in a battle formation, it would be a nightmare for the cavalry.

In addition to the Mo Knife, the Iron Workshop also created a lot of spears, swords and other weapons for the army, and in terms of long-range weapons, he chose crossbows.

Although the cost of making a crossbow is high and the firing speed is low, for Xiao Ming, a qualified archer needs to train for at least three years, which is too long.

In war, soldiers are expendables, and this is the reason why muskets later became the mainstream of war, and one group died, and another batch in three months.

The same goes for this crossbow, compared to bows and arrows, soldiers naturally don't need to be trained to use crossbows, which is also suitable for the current situation of fiefdoms.

And he can improve the biggest drawback of the ancient crossbow, generally speaking, the reason why the crossbow is inferior to the bow and arrow is because of the filling speed of the pit father, this advantage, even the initial firearms are completely exploded by the bow and arrow.

In ancient times, the crossbow was basically called a foot crossbow, that is, the hands and feet could be used together to wind, but Xiao Ming used the pulley principle on the crossbow.

This means that the soldier needs less effort to operate the crossbow flexibly.

At present, this pulley crossbow is being developed and produced, and the steel mill has not yet produced it, but modern and mature technology proves that it is feasible, and it is only a matter of time before it is produced.

After taking Lu Fei to see the equipment in the army, Lu Fei immediately asked people to come and transport the weapons and equipment in the steel mill back to the barracks.

Now the new army is basically still wearing the clothes they brought, no different from ordinary people, and these equipment can finally give hope to the soldiers.

Chen Wenlong and Xiao Ming looked at Lu Fei's busy figure helplessly, this is just the beginning, as the steel mill matures, the speed of producing plate armor will become faster and faster, and his soldiers will no longer be embarrassed without weapons and armor.
