Watching him go further and further away, Li Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He usually stays in Xizhuang and comes here every three to five days. Naturally, his servants have told him that in the past two decades, Lang Jun has become more and more stupid and has to escape every once in a while.
But Li Song said that Lang Jun is not getting stupider, but getting smarter, and he seems to be full of wits and tricks.
Of course, he was more inclined to believe Li Song's words, but deep down he still felt that Li Song might have exaggerated.
After just being ill, Lang Jun suddenly became extremely smart?
It's simply impossible.
Before he became stupid, Lang Jun was already thirteen years old. In terms of intelligence, he was slightly better than Li Zhang and Li Xian, and his strength was limited...
Besides, if you are really smart, you can't be so scared that you want to run away after just hearing a few rumors?
He didn't do what happened in the first place. Even if he did, with Erlang's character, if he wants to kill you, it doesn't matter whether you are really crazy or fake...
But it wasn't until he came today and heard Li Song tell him what happened to Lang Jun in the past few days that Li Bai had to believe it.
Ordinary people cannot save Hu Baozong, who has been disemboweled and exposed with his intestines...
It is even more impossible for ordinary people to come up with this method of watering to build a city. At least he is sure that he, Li Song, the late Li Qi, and Li Shixian who are trapped in Jingzhou City will never be able to come up with it...
There are also the dozen-spoke pulleys still hanging on the ice wall, and the half-finished wheelbarrows that the carpenters locked up...
This was enough to surprise him, but Li Bai didn't expect that Lang Jun could surprise him even more.
The move I just gave to Li Zhang and Li Xian is infinitely smarter than shouting a few slogans of "Live and die together, live and die together".
If you don't look at Li Zhang, Li Xian, these two idiots have red eyes. Looking at the nearly three hundred soldiers, they all look excited and want to rush out of Zhuangzi immediately and quell this group of thieves for Lang Jun...
Even he himself had some thoughts of "it's worth working for such a master"?
This husband is really like his father, and his methods of winning over people's hearts are extremely proficient.
What is this if not extremely clever?
If Li Chengzhi knew that Li Bai thought this way, he would definitely give him a thumbs up and say: You have such a rich imagination!
He simply feels that Li Song treats him well and is loyal to the Li family. Moreover, he grew up with Li Zhang and Li Xian and has a deep relationship...
No matter which aspect you look at, the two brothers cannot be allowed to have an accident, and if he wears such good armor and stands on the city wall, there are not many advantages, but many disadvantages: he will most likely be regarded as a living target.
That’s why I thought about using good steel on the blade...
Who knew Li Bai could figure out so much?
Two old soldiers put a piece of armor on Li Chengzhi and tied the knot carefully.
Li Chengzhi took a closer look and found that this thing was just a vest, which could barely protect the chest and abdomen.
There is a leather lining on the inside, and iron pieces the size of lighters are woven onto the leather lining with leather ropes on the outside to form a pair of armor.
The nail leaves are about three millimeters thick, with a mixture of raw and cooked iron pieces. Occasionally, a few pieces are considered to be steel. They all have a slight curvature, which can play a certain role in unloading force. However, the nail leaves are just stuck together, with a long
The anti-thorn effect of nail seams is much worse than that of fish scale nails.
Moreover, all the knots are exposed, and if you take too many knives, the beetles may fall off.
But even such an eye-catching iron vest that Li Chengzhi doesn't like much is not something ordinary people can afford.
A household with hundreds of acres of fertile land would have to go without food and water for three years before they could save enough money to make a pair of armor. And most households could only make a pair of leather armor if they served in the military.
……
Just because there are few, they are sharp weapons. According to Li Song, when Li Qi was the deputy general of Wuwei, Li Shixian relied on a thousand armored cavalry to gain a reputation for bravery in Wuwei...
It's just that the half-length armor is so powerful, but what if it were replaced by full armor that both men and horses wear?
Li Chengzhi can't wait to take a look...
When he saw Li Zhang and Li Xian wearing fish scale armor, Li Chengzhi realized why Hu Baozong said he had bad luck on the day he was injured.
More than 90% of the two people's bodies are covered by iron armor. The only parts not covered by the armor are the face, hands, and feet, and they are not directly exposed to the air:<
/p>
The face is covered with leather armor similar to a scarf, the hands are wearing leather gloves, and the feet are leather boots, all of which have a strong anti-cutting effect.
Looking at the armor pieces again, they are thinner than Zhajia's, but the quality is much better than Zhajia's. Most of them have reached the level of steel. The worst ones are wrought iron pieces, with each piece having cloud patterns on it.
printing.
It is conceivable that the blacksmiths who make armor use the method of forging hammered iron sheets to make hundreds of steel knives.
The nail leaves are pressed tightly together, without a knot in the whole body, and the surface is very curved.
Li Chengzhi estimated that even heavy weapons such as heavy axes or maces would not be able to cause much damage to such armor.
If you want to break through this kind of armor, you can only go from bottom to top, use a weapon to pry open the armor leaves and pierce them...
But the armor-piercing man is not a sculpture, so he can still stand there, waiting for you to stab him?
With a slight movement, the weapon would either bounce away or slide away.
No wonder such a pair of armor can be exchanged for a hundred acres of fertile land...
Li Chengzhi looked at Li Bai and asked curiously: "If you encounter such a heavy knight head-on, how do you break through it?"
"Destroy it from the front?"
Li Bai asked back and thought for a long time before replying: "A strong bow or crossbow with a weight of more than one stone can be broken within thirty steps..."
Li Chengzhi knew as soon as he heard it that he had asked a stupid question.
One kilogram in the Northern Wei Dynasty weighed nearly 600 grams, and one stone was equivalent to more than 140 kilograms in modern times. With such a heavy bow, the three hundred strong men in Lijiabao would never be able to draw more than ten people.
Crossbows are easy to pull, but they are extremely expensive to make and have many parts. If there are no professional personnel to repair and maintain them, they are equivalent to disposable items.
For example, in the Li family's Wubao, there are eight full-strength crossbows and waist-drawn crossbows, but only two are usable...
Moreover, you have to wait for the soldiers on the opposite side to rush within thirty steps before you can fire your bow.
How far is thirty steps?
Less than fifty meters away, a heavy cavalry charge takes only five to six seconds at most. How many arrows can you shoot?
No one would use such a stupid method...
Seeing that Lang Jun was finally interested in the ancestral trade, Li Bai started telling him about it with great interest:
"There is no way to break through, but if it is defense, there are many ways! You can stand up to resist the horses, dig trenches, traps, bury horse ropes, and set up car arrays and spearmen..."
This Li Chengzhi knew that Yue Fei used these methods to defeat the Iron Buddha of Jinwu, plus another method of chopping a horse's leg.
But it's all about risking lives. Ten Song soldiers and infantry armor are exchanged for one iron pagoda, which is a bloody gain.
