Chapter 74 The first edition of Chang'an Novel Newspaper
You can tell from the sound alone that the heavy plate armor Cheng Yaojin wore made a very dull sound, and it was obviously more defensive. And this was indeed the case. Yuchi Gong, who was wearing light plate armor, used all his strength to serve Cheng Yaojin with a punch.
Yao Jin, the other party was stunned and nothing happened.
"Black thief, let me show you how powerful I am!"
Cheng Yaojin relied on his heavy plate armor and punched Yuchigong on the chest, beating him steadily.
Yuchi Gong was furious. He had never been suppressed by Cheng Yaojin like this before. Instead of retreating, he advanced instead. He struck at Cheng Yaojin with punch after punch like raindrops. He could hear the sound of "bang, bang, bang, bang".
Cheng Yaojin was so stunned that he took a few steps back.
"Animals." The Yuwen scholar muttered behind Li Zhiyun's back.
As the person in charge of building plate armor, he is very aware of how abnormal heavy plate armor is. It can be said that the defensive power of heavy plate armor is no less than the current heavy armor of the Tang Dynasty.
Yu Chigong was wearing light plate armor, but he was able to beat Cheng Yaojin, who was wearing heavy plate armor, back step by step. This is nothing more than an animal.
The corners of Li Zhiyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he was also very shocked by Yu Chigong's abnormality.
This guy is simply a human monster.
Bang!
Cheng Yaojin took another punch, but his lower body was unstable and he fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, Cheng thief, watch the boxing!"
Yuchi Gong was beaten all over the head by Cheng Yaojin before, so naturally he would not let him go now, punching Cheng Yaojin on the chest one after another.
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand up, Qin Qiong hurriedly said: "Your Highness, stop them quickly."
Li Zhiyun shouted: "Jingde, stop!"
Hearing this, Yuchi Gong knocked off the heavy plate armor with a punch, revealing Cheng Yaojin's red eyes.
"Why are you staring?" Yuchi Gong snorted coldly.
If he loses the fight, Cheng Yaojin will naturally not be harsh. Besides, he is still lying down.
The two separated and took off their plate armor one after another.
Li Zhiyun stepped forward and looked at the heavy plate armor, which was still as smooth as ever. He was very satisfied. Looking at the light plate armor again, he saw that the breastplate of the light plate armor had been marked with many dents. And Yu Chigong had just taken it off.
The iron fist gloves also had irregular marks on them.
Not bad, no direct damage.
Sure enough, the armor made with a water-powered forging hammer is awesome. Only fine iron that has been tempered for thousands of times can the armor made from it be durable enough.
Generally speaking, making this kind of fine iron is quite labor-intensive, but Li Zhiyun has a hydraulic forging hammer. As long as a few people watch the forging and turn the iron block over from time to time to balance the force on the iron block, there is no need to waste any manpower.
.
Mad, I am indeed a genius!
Yuchi Gong weighed the iron fist gloves and said with emotion: "Your Highness, with this thing, I can kill the enemy general with one man and one horse."
Wearing light plate armor on Yuchi Gong and wearing it on ordinary soldiers are two different concepts.
Qin Qiong also nodded and said: "Your Highness, although heavy armor is stronger, the generals and Jingde only need to wear this light plate armor. This can not only prevent hidden arrows, but also reduce the weight on the horses, which is conducive to continuous
Fight."
As the general manager of the cavalry army, Qin Qiong is very aware of the disadvantages of heavy armor.
Too heavy!
Ordinary war horses simply cannot withstand such heavy armor.
Even if the war horses could withstand it, they would not be able to sustain a manned charge.
Light plate armor is much lighter. In other words, light plate armor cavalry not only has good defensive power, but also can reduce the burden on horses and soldiers, and is a comprehensive armor. Heavy plate armor is a pure tank, attacking
The strength and defense are explosive, but the endurance and speed are not.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Although the heavy armored cavalry is sharp, it has great disadvantages. The first is the horse, and the second is the physical strength of the soldiers. I plan to build light plate armored cavalry and heavy plate armored infantry."
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said: "Your Highness, I think if the heavy armored cavalry charges, even if Taishan is in front, they can push it and destroy it. However, the heavy plate armored infantry has poor mobility and is not conducive to an attack."
"What Yi Zhen said makes sense. I will consider it carefully." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
As a boss, he would not directly refute his generals' views on army construction. But in fact, he had already rejected the plan to build heavy plate armored cavalry, because heavy plate armored cavalry is only suitable for frontal assault. Once it is defeated by the enemy's light cavalry,
Flying a kite is a dead end and will only be killed by the enemy after exhaustion.
Later, Li Zhiyun asked people to use various strong bows and crossbows to test the defensive power of light and heavy plate armor.
The result was as expected, the heavy plate armor was not affected at all. However, the light plate armor showed varying degrees of damage.
Overall, Li Zhiyun is very satisfied.
Afterwards, Li Zhiyun asked Yuwen Rutong, "What is the cost of these two types of plate armor?"
Yuwen Rutong said: "A set of heavy plate armor requires 830 slings, while light plate armor only costs 420 slings."
Li Zhiyun nodded and continued: "Very good, you must continue to improve these two types of plate armor within the control of this price."
"yes."
In April of the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan issued an order to order Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, Li Jing, the marching commander, Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, and eight general managers to march south against Xiao Xian!
The imperial court started the war with great fanfare, but Li Zhiyun was not affected at all. This war not only had nothing to do with him, but also had nothing to do with King Qin.
Everyone is a marginalized person.
Chu Palace.
Li Zhiyun is holding his newly born second son with a gentle look on his face.
A son was born in Huaiyang.
Princess Chu looked at the sleeping little cub from the side, the envy in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
Huaiyang asked in a low voice: "Husband, what would be a good name for the child?"
"What do you expect from him?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.
"I only hope that he can grow up safely."
"How about calling me Li Ping'an?"
"Ah?" Huaiyang paused, obviously a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to refuse.
Princess Chu looked at him angrily, "How could anyone have such a name? Doesn't it make him look like a child from an ordinary family? If it's not possible, let's change it to another one."
Li Zhiyun smiled and pondered for a moment.
"The sun is turning to the west of my house, and the sun is shining brightly, and I am looking back again. Chengyan, this child will be called Li Chengyan!"
This poem comes from Chu Ci, and the general idea is that the sun's light dims and sets in the west, but it will rise again the next day with great brilliance.
Huaiyang's eyes lit up, this name coincided with the meaning of her title, and she liked it very much.
"My name is Cheng Yan. I like it very much."
"Wow!"
Xiao Chengyan probably liked his name too, so he closed his eyes and started giggling.
"Good boy, it seems you like this name too." Li Zhiyun smiled and kissed his son's cheek, very happy.
Now, he has two sons and two daughters, plus the child Wei Gui is pregnant with, that is five children.
It seems that I am quite capable.
Li Zhiyun was a little proud.
He is very lucky and has not had any children die so far.
After teasing Chengyan for a while, Li Zhiyun put him in the cradle and told Huaiyang to have a good rest.
The couple left the Huaiyang courtyard, and Princess Chu sighed softly.
Although she was happy to see the royal family's heirs prospering, she couldn't help but feel disappointed every time she thought of herself.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhiyun stopped and looked at her.
Princess Chu shook her head.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun knew it well, so he joked: "Huaiyang has just given birth to a child and needs to rest. Gui Niang is also pregnant. It seems that the king will have to work hard for the princess to take care of him in the future."
Hearing this, Princess Chu blushed and spat lightly.
