The army of 6,000 went up, and yesterday it arrived at Changding Mansion, and there were 500 sets of paper armor that were originally transported quickly.

Last night, the Changding Mansion performed martial arts, which was built by Liu Siming, Liu Siming is good at riding and shooting, Zhimin is outstanding, governing armor soldiers, self-signed civil and military generals, private tribute, this military camp is naturally good.

At this time, the army was on the battlefield, silent for a while, and they all watched.

At this time, several human figures made of cork were hung up, and straw was not used, because the scarecrow was empty and could not be compared with the human body, and cork was very suitable.

Under the order, several cork figures were first put on an iron armor, which can only be worn by ordinary battalions, and then put on a paper armor.

Wang Hongyi personally stepped forward, watched, and ordered: "Use a stone bow, twenty steps!"

Several horsemen galloped back and forth, calling: "The general's order is to use a stone bow, twenty steps!"

When all the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly went up to see that the two selected strong archers were already waiting.

In fact, a stone bow in ancient times, when converted, is fifty catties, which is different from the one hundred catties of stone used for grain and rice.

When Dayan founded the country, when Dayan forbade the army to test the archers, he used a bow of nine buckets, which was almost forty-five catties, which was already a sharp soldier in the army.

When the infantry archer of the ordinary army is assessed, he uses a six-bucket bow, which is almost thirty catties.

With a one-stone bow, he is an outstanding archer in the army, that is to say, most of the bow and arrow damage will not exceed this, as for the two-stone and three-stone person, it is a marksman, and he may be able to leave a name in history.

As for twenty steps, that's ten meters.

Hearing only one order, two poofs, two strong archers shot long arrows, and both hit the target.

Wang Hongyi personally went up to inspect it, and when he looked at it, he saw that within twenty steps, the long arrow shattered this set of paper armor pieces, and the arrow pierced through and pierced an inch.

Almost at the same time, the battalion-level iron armor was also shot with a small hole, and the armor body was concave, but it only penetrated half an inch.

When I saw it, I knew it.

The generals stepped forward to see it, and they all talked about it.

"Forty steps!" Wang Hongyi said after checking.

"Puff" two sounds, two arrows, and then look up, only to see that the paper armor was shot through, but the tip of the arrow has no remaining strength, can not pierce the cork half an inch, and the iron armor is concave down a piece, directly deviate and slide out.

That is, within twenty steps, wearing paper armor, as long as it is not a direct hit, it is only injured.

In the history of the earth, it is recorded in the "New Tang Book" that during the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Shang guarded Puzhou, with thousands of soldiers.

More than forty paces, wearing paper armor, bows and arrows are basically no threat, and suddenly the generals are in an uproar, looking at each other, unable to believe it, but the facts are in front of them.

"Slash with a long knife!" Wang Hongyi commanded.

I saw a selected ordinary soldier, armed with a long knife, going up and slashing these cork men in paper armor one after another.

In the first time, due to the accumulation of strength, he cut it up, and immediately cut the paper armor, but in the second and third times, it was obviously different.

Wang Hongyi went up to check it in person, only to see that the first paper armor was cut, and there were obvious knife marks on the cork, and the second paper armor was also cut, the knife marks were only half an inch, and the next few could not even completely cut the paper armor.

"Battlefield fighting, how can it be the same as a performance, accumulating strength to slash and kill? That is to say, it can basically withstand several slashes, of course, the cavalry is not among them!"

There is no need to stab with a gun below, this is something that even iron armor can't bear, so you don't have to add it to paper armor.

When the generals saw this, they all talked about it, and looked at the five hundred sets of paper armor with blazing eyes.

Zhang Yunxin couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "Lord, how much can this kind of paper armor be made, and can it equip the whole army?"

"Naturally, this armor has 500 sets per month, and if necessary, it can make 1,000 sets per month, and it can arm the whole army in a year. Wang Hongyi laughed and said: "And although this armor is not durable, it can be rebuilt, and every time there is a big war, it can be replaced with a new one after the war." ”

This process, in fact, the first half of the papermaking is exactly the same, made of bark, hemp, rags, fish nets, etc., the reason why papermaking is expensive is that the paper surface should be smooth in the later stage, not seepage, and should be written.

However, paper armor is not needed, it is expensive to be clumsy and tough, and mixed with cloth, processed and hammered soft, square inch four nails, and soaked in tung oil, it can be made.

The most important thing is that these can be recycled, which greatly reduces the consumption and cost in the future, and with modern assembly lines and recycling ideas, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi was very satisfied, and decided to establish a "paper armor division", a nine-grade unit, to supply the whole army, and each set must be marked, and the specific craftsmen should be held accountable, so as not to indiscriminately fill the number.

At this time, Wang Yan, the prefect of Changding Mansion, saw his nephew's heroic appearance, and all the generals obeyed the orders awe-inspiringly, did not dare to disobey, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

Modern people can't understand this clan concept, but at this time, it is natural, Wang Yan was very happy and cried at the moment, and hurriedly wiped it.

But I heard Yu Liangbo praise: "General, now the farmland needs to be cultivated, the army needs weapons, whether it is weapons and farm tools, a lot of iron tools are needed.

The generals also praised again and again, Wang Hongyi looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "That's what it means!"

After a pause, he said: "I am full of food tonight, and I will rush to Luchuan County before noon!"

The military order is like a mountain, the army that has been delayed for several days, the black pressure is a piece, heading towards Luchuan County, the military flags of various colors fluttering in the air, under the banner, the soldiers are neatly arranged, and the array composed of various colors of leather armor and paper armor is marching majestically.

Of course, this news could not be concealed, and when the two armies approached and confronted each other, this immediately provoked a battle.

I only heard the drums beating non-stop, the flag in the enemy formation shook, and the five hundred soldiers of the guard, stepping on the beat, slowly approached, with a sense of oppression and impact that was ready to go.

"General, let the last general fight for a while!" Zhang Yunxin said pleadingly.

Although everyone knows that it is impossible for Du Gong to desperately consume the main force, this is just a temptation, but if Wang Hongyi's army is vulnerable, it will immediately turn into a decisive battle.

"Allow you to invite, these five hundred sets of paper armor will all be handed over to your ministry!" Zhang Yunxin was so active in approaching, Wang Hongyi's feelings about him changed again and again.

Originally, I thought that the veteran was unusable, but not long ago I thought it was useful, and now I think it can be used.

"Obey!" It didn't take long to put on the paper armor, and a moment later, five hundred Shacheng soldiers wearing paper armor stepped out.

Du Gongzhen looked at it, and was immediately shocked, of course, he couldn't distinguish the paper armor from a distance, but it was only five hundred pairs of armor, which was an unprecedented amount of money, and then looked at other armies, it was not peeled clean, and all the armor was not concentrated.

"How can this son be so rich? Could it be that Changding and Wenyang are so rich?" Du Gongzhen looked around and asked in surprise.

The generals on the left and right all had solemn faces, watching, and no one answered.

These two guards are almost all temptations, and as soon as they meet, they fight fiercely.

The two armies combined with tens of thousands of people were watching.

As he spoke, the two iron streams met and fought each other, seeing the soldiers in the front row of the collision fighting desperately, and from time to time someone fell down with a bang, and both armies seemed to ignore the casualties and went forward one after another.

As the drums of war behind the two formations rushed to a rapid pace, the fighting continued even with heavy casualties.

"Du Zhen's most elite tooth soldiers, is that the level?" Wang Hongyi looked at it and said with a sneer.

I saw the two guards fighting each other like a surging tide, from time to time there were soldiers in front of them who were cut down by long knives, and from time to time there were soldiers behind them to advance, and in the blink of an eye, people kept falling, and people kept filling in, forming a melee, fighting for everyone's will and strength.

There is nothing wrong with the casualties of the ancient war not exceeding one achievement and retreating, but this kind of vanguard with 5,000 troops behind it does not have this blessing, only to fight each other, and the personnel are rapidly reduced, but it is very obvious, with the protection of paper armor, the number of Wang Zhen's attrition is far less than that of the other party.

When the casualties were thirty percent, Du Zhen's guards finally lost their fighting spirit and retreated back with a "boom".

All the generals in Du Zhen gasped and exclaimed.

Du Gongzhen had a cold face, and with a wave of his hand, a team of soldiers stepped forward and slashed the dozen or so people who fled the fastest, leading the others to the bottom.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Yunxin and Yiwei were helping their wounded, and many fallen people were helped up, but Du Zhenbing, who was a loser, did not have this good thing and was killed one by one in front of the battle.

"Thirty-one people were killed in the battle, seventy-five were wounded, and the wounded were protected by paper armor, and most of them could be treated. A moment later, the report came out.

At this time, the Chinese army of the opposing general's main general stepped forward, and a tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly permeated the front of the formation.

"It's okay, it should be Du Gong who really wants to talk to me!" Wang Hongyi saw that the other party did not have the action of fighting, and said lightly: "Black-clothed guard, protect me five hundred steps forward." ”

"No!" The black-clothed guards rode three hundred horses, all of them fierce, and they were also wearing paper armor, which was also specially painted with gold paint and various patterns, dazzling, and appeared to be a strict lineup and mighty.

Three hundred paces before the formation, the two armies stopped, looked at each other, and then moved forward, which was the range of the marksman.

Du Gongzhen watched intently, and saw a young man in the middle, sitting upright on a horse, with a calm and solemn expression, wearing gorgeous armor (also paper armor), as steady as a mountain.

Around him, the flags were waving in the wind, the cavalry and foot soldiers were like a long forest erecting spears to protect, and the generals and soldiers were arranged neatly, and the lineup was mighty, silent and silent.

Du Gongzhen stared at it for a long time, revealing a gloomy look, and gave an order.

A moment later, the army of six thousand retreated neatly and withdrew from the battlefield.

The battlefield was silent, and the vague black shadow of the retreating army of 6,000 could be seen from afar, and all I heard was the wind and flags.

Wang Hongyi looked around, knowing that the big thing was about to be completed, and his heart was happy.
