Li Ke also said: "Although the Turkic riding and archery skills are good, but the strength is not very good, this armor should be easy to use, as long as it is not a ten-stone bow, it should not be a problem to defend against other arrows." ”

Now it's time for someone to experiment on people, Cheng Chumo put on the newly made armor and said, "Brother Xue, you must not be polite, just come to a certain body." ”

Xue Rengui raised the compound bow and pulled the bow full, aiming it at Cheng Chumo, who was three hundred steps away.

Wang Ding asked in a low voice, "Chang'an Ling, what is this doing?" ”

Li Zheng looked at the scene in front of him and said, "Do an experiment." ”

Xue Rengui pulled his bow and faced Cheng Chumo, and Wang Ding said anxiously: "This will kill someone." ”

As soon as Wang Ding finished speaking, there was a sound of bowstring vibrating.

The arrow shot out in response and hit Cheng Chumo with a sound of breaking through the air.

With a muffled snort, Cheng Chumo fell to the ground.

Several people hurriedly stepped forward to see the situation, and Cheng Chumo stood up with difficulty, "Brother Xue, the strength of your arrow is really not small. ”

Li Ke looked Cheng Chumo's situation up and down.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the person, Cheng Chumo took off his armor and found that part of the arrow had passed through the armor.

It just stopped in front of Cheng Chumo's chest, and there were some bloody red marks on his chest.

Li Ke said: "This is too dangerous, if you are in the middle of three inches, you will be unpredictable." ”

Cheng Chumo still smiled heartily, "This armor is really easy to use, and it is not heavy to wear." ”

Li Zheng is observing the damage of the armor, which was inspired by the body armor of later generations.

The outermost layer of the armor is made of metal pieces made by the blacksmith shop in his village, and the middle layer is filled with cork, which is used to absorb the kinetic energy of the arrows, which is a buffer layer.

On the last layer is the iron baffle.

Such a pair of armor weighs about twenty pounds.

It's okay to defend against some cold arrows, but you still need armor to fight face-to-face.

To spy on the military situation, of course, you can't wear a suit of armor and enter the grassland.

This armor can be worn inside the garment and covered with the outside.

Disguised as a caravan, it looks like it's just a little more dressed in the cold Turkic steppes.

Wang Ding understood it, "It turns out that this is the preparation of the Chang'an Order." ”

"Foolproof, my people must come back after they go out."

Wang Ding took the armor that Li Zheng gave him and said, "Then the old slave will go to His Majesty to report his life." ”

Li Zheng said: "The prince walks slowly. ”

After sending Wang Ding away, Li Zheng said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you ask Xu Jingzong to find a few people who are proficient in Guanzhong dialect and Turkic dialect. ”

Li Ke nodded, "Got it." ”

Putting the armor in his hand aside, Li Zheng said, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, don't you ask me what I want to do?" ”

Li Ke: "You naturally have your reasons for doing this, and I don't understand some truths even if you explain them to me, so it's better not to ask." ”

This consciousness is still quite high, Li Zheng sighed in his heart, and then thought about it and said: "I want Xue Rengui and them to learn some simple Turkic dialects, and they can also find a guide to enter the grassland." ”

Li Ke still nodded expressionlessly, "I'll talk to Xu Jingzong." ”

"Then hand it over to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and set off after the autumn harvest."

"Okay."

It is the critical time of the autumn harvest, where to find so many people to build houses, Li Yifu is so busy these days that his feet do not touch the ground.

I had to drive piles and ram earth, and I had to mine stones, and I was busy for a while.

It is necessary to expand the residential area again, and these 500 acres are not small at all.

Fortunately, Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin said hello to General Wei Chigong, and the army sent some people to come over to build houses, but they still had to pay wages.

Survive this for a while and wait until the autumn harvest is over.

Li Yifu thought so in his heart.

Half a month later, everything was arranged, and Xue Rengui came to the horse circle with a hundred Jingyang escorts.

It stands to reason that the troops can be requisitioned by the DPRK and China, not to mention that the Jingyang guards are nominally the soldiers and horses of the Longwu Army.

Glancing at the well-dressed human hands, everyone didn't have much luggage.

Li Zheng said to Xue Rengui: "I called you here to be a guard for so many years, and now I let you make a contribution." ”

Xue Rengui knelt down on one knee and said: "Chang'an Ling is a lowly nobleman, without Chang'an Ling, maybe I would still be farming in Hedong." ”

"Alright." Li Zheng helped Xue Rengui up.

Xue Rengui stood up straight and said, "We can all deal with a few simple words of Turkic dialect now. ”

Li Zheng said to Xue Rengui: "There are a few words I still have to explain. ”

"Chang'an Order, please speak, humble duty must be remembered."

"Now the situation on the Turkic steppe is unclear, Mo Ji led the Western Turkic soldiers and horses and the various tribes of the Eastern Turks to fight in dire straits, after entering the steppe, you only need to record the situation of the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks, no matter whether you meet the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks, you all say that they are my people, and neither of them will embarrass you."

"There is also the need to pay attention to Xue Yantuo's movements, Ashina is now waiting for an opportunity to move, maybe there will be a move soon."

"When you enter the grassland, keep a low profile, as long as others don't do anything to you......"

"We don't do it either." Xue Rengui said.

"If they do it first."

"Then you're welcome!" Xue Rengui replied loudly.

"Very well, everybody go to the stable, pick a good horse, and let's go."

"Whoa!"

Jingyang's escort team set off, and the generals of the DPRK and China talked a lot.

There are people in each of the guards who want to make military contributions.

Among them, there are many brave and good generals.

"Why did you say that Your Majesty sent Li Zheng, the prince of Jingyang County?"

"Which guard in our army hasn't practiced for so many years and waited to make meritorious contributions, but in the end it can't compare to a group of other people?"

"Maybe there's your majesty's own meaning in this."

"It is said that it was recommended by General Wei Chigong."

"Who knows?"

"Li Zheng is about to marry the princess as a concubine, that is His Majesty's son-in-law, can Your Majesty not help his own son-in-law?"

"Why don't you go to the grassland and see people fighting, what's so difficult."

"Maybe it's just a walk outside the gate and then come back, just to make a military merit."

Several generals in the army were discussing in private, of course, this kind of thing could not be publicized, and only people at the general level knew some gossip.

Li Zheng has been busy in the blacksmith workshop these days, and fireworks must be made.

The wedding date is approaching, although he is only sixteen years old now, and he will not be able to perform the crown ceremony until next year.

If the wedding is without fireworks, it will obviously lose a lot of flavor.

Tie Da looked at Li Zheng and said hurriedly: "Chang'an Order, what do you want to do, just tell us to do it." ”

"I'm going to do a cannon fight, a salute to be exact."

"What is a salute."

Li Zheng said busily: "I also want to make some aluminum and magnesium powder." ”

"What?" Tie Da was a little confused when he heard this.

"You don't read much, wait for me to make it and show you what a miracle is."
