A lot of Nibuki, especially the Nibuki during the Warring States period of Wajima, they repeatedly emphasized that there was no bamboo armor in Wajima, and they also said that iron armor was cheaper than bamboo armor.

How is this possible?

Wajima is an island country with very few resources, and iron armor is actually cheaper than bamboo armor, how the hell is this done.

These arguments are not defensible, at least in the Asuka period, that is, at this time, the entire Wajima still could not get a whole set of iron armor, first of all, the craftsmanship did not reach that level, and secondly, the lack of resources.

Bamboo armor is a relatively good defensive armor that can be obtained at this time.

Many Hibuki believe that the bamboo armor was said by the Chinese, saying that the bamboo armor itself has a very delicate position on the battlefield. In terms of production and maintenance, bamboo armor is more complex and cumbersome than iron and leather armor. After all, the bamboo itself needed to be cut and polished to make armor before sewing them together. Compared to metal and leather armor, bamboo armor is more susceptible to mold, so continuous mold removal is required.

The most important issue is the strength of the bamboo piece itself. Dried bamboo pieces are not only less elastic than leather, but also much less elastic than metal armor. Therefore, if you want to achieve the same defensive effect as leather armor, then bamboo armor alone should be thicker and therefore heavier.

But the fact is that according to the bamboo armor record. In "Taiping Yulan: Under the Throne", it is recorded that "Liu Yiqing's "World Sayings" said: Wei Wuzheng Yuan Benchu, there were dozens of bamboo pieces in the rest of the decoration, and the salt was several inches long. The clouds are not usable, and they are being ordered to burn. Taizu cherished it very much, so he thought about it. It is said that it can be a bamboo armor shield, but it is not obvious. ”

There is also a record of Zhao Jishi in "Jiyuan Mail", "and selected thousands of snake mountain soldiers, combined with the moon sky into a branch, dense leather workers to make leather armor, bamboo workers to make bamboo armor." Leather armor is inside, bamboo armor is outside"

These records all prove the existence of bamboo armor, an island country with scarce materials, how many animal leather armor can be made, coupled with backward technology, what kind of iron armor can be made, even steel armor?

.............................

"They all have armor?" Li Zhan was slightly surprised.

And after Li Zhan finished speaking, the fat front on the side hurriedly said: "Your Highness... Most of those armors were bamboo armor, and the inside was leather armor, not the same as the steel armor worn by His Highness. ”

After speaking, Hizen Ichifu proudly shook the step armor on his body, because of the merit of Hizen Ichifu's guide, Li Zhan gave Hizen Ichifu a step man armor, a pair of enemy bows and a saber...!

Li Zhan's reward made Hizen Ichifu excited, and he didn't want to take off his foot armor when he was sleeping.

"Oh... Is it a bamboo armor? Li Zhan suddenly thought of an allusion, it was Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, and the name of the allusion was Burning Rattan Armor Soldiers.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang's southern barbarians often raided the border of Shu, Zhuge Liang in order to be able to rest assured of the northern expedition, so he led the army to the south, Zhao Yun suggested that the southern barbarians should not be subjugated by force, and they should be convinced.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang adopted the strategy of seven captures and seven releases, and finally won the convincing of Nanban Meng, and vowed never to rebel again. However, when Meng Shu was captured for the last time, Zhuge Liang burned the 30,000 rattan armor soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom invited by Meng Shu, Zhuge Liang himself was heartbroken, and looked up to the sky and sighed, countless deaths and injuries will be lost.

This rattan armor soldier was not Meng Shu's, it was the last time Meng Shu knew that he was not Zhuge Liang's opponent, and borrowed 30,000 vine armor soldiers from the Ugo country to help in the war. The rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable, the attack and defense are very strategic, and when you are tired, you can also take off the rattan armor and put it in the water, and the soldiers sit on it and go down the river. Therefore, the vine armor soldiers made Zhuge Liang lose a lot of horses. Zhuge Liang had a plan, so that Wei Yan was defeated fifteen times in a row, discarded many camps, and finally introduced the vine armor soldiers into the valley.

Zhuge Liang let go of the indulgence burning, because the rattan armor is extremely easy to burn, there is no water source, there is almost no way to take off when burning, so 30,000 rattan armor and crying in the valley to grab the ground, painful struggle, death is strong and tragic, no one survived, the next day the stench is unbearable, it can be said that Zhuge Liang's means are really bad.

Why do you think about this allusion, it is because Li Zhan also has a trace of ideas about the bamboo armor in his mind at this time, if it is a wait, Li Zhan uses a stone crossbow to throw a fierce fire oil can, and then ignites the fire, and the bamboo armor is contaminated with fierce fire oil, then the fire will be out of control.

Not to mention 5,000 people, even 50,000 people can be burned clean.

It's just that this method is a bit cruel, Li Zhan hesitated slightly, but at this moment, someone from below came to spread the word, and I saw a Japanese man riding a small pony carrying a banner of Su Ma Zi.

Then he shouted to the people in Hyuga Castle.

According to Zhang Yaozu's translation on the side, the other party asked Li Zhan and the others to come out immediately after a quarter of an hour, so that they could spare the lives of Li Zhan and the others, otherwise, no matter whether Li Zhan was really from the Tang Dynasty or not, Su and Ma Zi would kill Li Zhan and the others cleanly.

Just after the person carrying the flag left, Li Zhan saw that the Su family army, which was still around five hundred steps, suddenly moved forward two hundred steps, and I have to say that this should be the best army that Li Zhan has seen since he came to Wadao.

Two hundred steps neatly walked, not disordered at all, at this time, Li Zhan also admitted that this guy called Su I Mazi did have a little ability, Li Zhan looked at Cheng Chumo beside him at this time and asked: "How is it, the army below is good, right?" ”

Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "Very good, there is a degree of advance and retreat, I think we are going to have casualties this time." ”

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other regimental generals and asked, "You think so too?" ”

Qin Huaiyu bowed down and said, "Your Highness... Casualties in battle are inevitable, and since we people have followed His Highness, the most glorious thing is the Horse Leather Shroud. ”

It's just that Li Zhan shook his head and said, "Your glory is not the glory I want, what I want to do is to ensure your safety." ”

After speaking, Li Zhan looked at Zhang Yaozu and asked, "How much time did they give us?" ”

Zhang Yaozu replied: "A quarter of an hour...!" ”

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Okay... I have plenty of time, and I don't plan to be a saint, what I want is the safety of my tiger army, and the opponent's combat quality is very high, so I will use more powerful technology to defeat you.

Prepare the stone crossbow, and the fierce fire oil canister, and prepare the three bed crossbows, I will send that Su Ma Zi home first. ”

In 1131 A.D., the battle of Song Jin and Shangyuan, the Song army led by the Song general Wu Jue used the bed crossbow to deal with the ironclad cavalry of the Jin general Wushu, and killed the corpses of the Jin army all over the field, and achieved a rare victory in the battle of Song against Jin.

The arrows fired by the bed crossbow can shoot the heavily armored Jin army cavalry at a distance of 1,000 meters, and its power is extremely terrifying.

In the battle of the Southern Han Dynasty in the early Song Dynasty, when the army led by the Song army Pan Mei confronted the Southern Han army in Shaozhou, Pan Mei's Song army also used a three-bow bed crossbow to fire giant arrows and defeated the heavy war weevils of the Southern Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Southern Han Dynasty had an elite army of war elephants, which were covered with thick armor and ordinary bows and arrows, which could not hurt this war elephant.

However, the heavy arrows fired by the Song army's bed crossbow could easily pierce through the armor of the war elephant and kill the war elephant.

Now that Su Ma Zi is riding triumphantly on a small horse, this guy is really arrogant, for fear that Li Zhan and the others will not know his location, and he deliberately wears a pair of red armor to distinguish himself from his own soldiers.

You say that if this Su I Mazi does not die, who will die. Trade Winds Literature Network

............................

Thirty stone crossbows were lined up at the head of Hyuga Castle, and in the middle of the thirty stone crossbows there were three bed crossbows.

Zhou Jie... Hou Ming... Xu wei... These three people are the controllers of the bed crossbow, Cheng Chumo came to Zhou Jie's side, and then stuffed a piece of venison to Zhou Jie and said: "Our regiment must get this credit, just now His Royal Highness said that those who take the life of Su I Mazi will reward the vanguard group... As long as we become the pioneers, then we will be the first to choose the good things in this island country. ”

"You can rest assured, the general...!" Zhou Jie smiled and took a bite of venison and said, "Hou Ming and Xu Wei were both taught by me, and I know very well how many catties and taels they have." ”

"Hey, hey... Lao Zhou, I chose you right...! Cheng Chumo smiled happily.

"That's...!" Zhou Jie also smiled very happily.

Just when Cheng Chumo and Zhou Jie were talking, Qin Huaiyu and Yu Chi Baolin also walked to the side of the hungry Hou Ming and Xu Wei, and the dialogue between these two pairs was basically the same, that is, to grab the first credit, and their respective regiments also wanted to be pioneers.

At this time, Xue Rengui felt very uncomfortable in his heart, because according to common sense, as the vanguard group, it must be their Tiger Cavalry Regiment, but now it is very realistic that the Tiger Cavalry Regiment does not have enough war horses, although it is true that some war horses are found to come over before and after fat, but there are no 100 horses that are slightly taller, so the mobile strength of the Tiger Cavalry Regiment has not been reflected, and now what the Tiger Cavalry Regiment does is at the end.

followed Xue Rengui to Zhang Yaozu's side, and now Xue Rengui's greatest hope is Zhang Yaozu.

"Ready...!"

Just when Xue Rengui was thinking nonsense, a quarter of an hour had arrived, and the Su family army below was ready to attack, seeing that the Su family army below had also launched a cloud ladder, Li Zhan nodded slightly, because this is still an army.

"Rush to kill...!"

When Li Zhan saw the red flag below waving down, he heard the sound of a group of Japanese people shouting to kill, of course, this rush and kill was shouted in the Japanese language.

And seeing the soldiers of the Su family below rushing to kill with a cloud ladder, Hizen Masaya and Higo Nakayao, the two of them also showed frightened expressions, but Hizen Yifu showed a belligerent and excited look.

"Aim complete...!" At this moment, Zhou Jie on the side was the first to roar.

Li Zhan said lightly: "Then shoot...!" ”

"Yes..!" As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, he only heard a 'hum', and a large arrow about one and a half meters long flew out, just after this arrow flew out.

Hou Ming and Xu Wei also shouted loudly: "Aim over...!" ”

"Shoot...!" Li Zhan ordered again.

Then I heard two more 'buzz' and 'buzz' sounds, and two arrows as huge as the first one were fired.

About a few seconds later, three arrows shot through Su Ma Zi at a position of 500 paces with his front and back feet, Zhou Jie's arrow shot directly through Su Ma Zi's head, and the two arrows in the back all pierced Su Ma Zi's body.

"It's... This... Is this a magic arrow? ”

Once again, Hizen Masaya and Higo Nakaya were shocked, because of the distance of five hundred steps, it would be good for their bow and crossbow to be able to do fifty steps, and five hundred steps was simply an impossible distance to reach.

It is also because of this that Su Ma Zi will be wearing red armor and standing in front of Hyuga City in a bright manner, but if this Su Ma Zi has a little bit of knowledge, he will not be stupid enough to become the target of others.

Just after Su My Mazi was shot to death, Su My Family's army also had a great panic, and at this time someone had already shouted: "The lord was shot, the lord was shot...!" ”

These two shouts made Su I's army begin to be moved.

At this time, Li Zhan shouted: "Shoot...!" ”

Thirty cans of ferocious oil were shot out, the first, second, third, fourth... A total of four rounds were shot, one hundred and twenty cans of fierce fire oil, nearly six hundred catties.

Then I saw Cheng Chumo pick up the rocket and shouted: "The Japanese seeds... The fire is set by labor and management, and if it becomes a ghost, you will come to pester labor and management...! ”

Looking at Cheng Chumo, Li Zhan showed a smile, this is his brother to prevent disasters for himself.

"Boom...!" The fire burned directly, and the fire oil touched the bamboo armor, and the speed of the fire was simply so fast that it was boundless, just like dry wood touching the fire, and after a while, the crackling sound sounded, which was the sound of the bamboo being burned and exploded.

"Ahh

Screams, wails... From the mouths of those soldiers of the Su family's army, a large number of soldiers began to run back, wanting to escape from Hyuga City, but you must know that behind you, that is, the soldiers of those armies, are also wearing bamboo armor, as long as they are next to each other, they will burn in a row, so you can't run at all.

Standing above Hyuga Castle, above the head of the city and below the head of the castle, it is simply two extremes, and the bottom of Hyuga Castle is like a hell, a hell of fire, with wails, screams, and the crackling sound of burning bamboo.

Above the city, Li Zhan closed his eyes slightly, although Li Zhan knew that he would succeed in ten thousand bones, but such a hellish scene, Li Zhan still couldn't bear to look at it.

What surprised Li Zhan was that it was obviously the same Wajima people who died, and the people of the Hizen family and the Higo family did not look sorry at all, but showed a hint of excitement.

Li Zhan didn't care, this should be the belligerent factor in the hearts of the Wadao people... In fact, the more such factors Li Zhan hopes for, the better, so that Li Zhan can control Wadao very well.

In this way, the fire burned for more than an hour, and the 5,000 Su family army lost at least 4,000 people under Hyuga City this time, and a few hundred people ran away, but it didn't matter if these people ran away.

The fire burned out, and the unpleasant smell worsened, Li Zhan shook his head and said, "I'll go first... Clean up the stuff underneath! ”

"Yes....!" Cheng Chumo and the others immediately got the order, and at this time, everyone didn't know that the Tiger Ben Army was directly canonized in this battle.
