Chapter 629: Mingguang Armor

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "The crossbow is difficult to break, and there is a way to make it." ”

Jia Liang was shocked: "Really? Take me to see it. ”

The shopkeeper bowed: "Deputy envoy, please come with me." ”

Passing through the open space of the courtyard, the shopkeeper's voice was lowered: "Sir, rest assured, this armor can block the crane and the crossbow, and the Great Song Dynasty can still be broken." The man suggested that the deputy envoy should move the Queen Mother and the Minister of State to rebuild the Iron Harrier. ”

Jia Liang had no expression, and silently followed the shopkeeper into the inner hall.

A pair of exquisite armor was displayed in front of Jia Liang, and Jia Liang was immediately attracted.

This is a pair of Mingguang armor made of imitation of the Western Milanese and Gothic armor of later generations, but unlike the Mingguang armor of the Central Plains, this armor covers the entire range of the human body.

Even the eyes are just two slits.

The armor has some slotted folds, which can increase the strength of the armor without increasing the weight, and at the same time can effectively absorb the impact of the blow weapon, and the lines formed by the folds also make the armor beautiful.

The abdomen, knees, and elbows have a shrimpshell-like structure that provides both protection and flexibility.

The armor is connected to leather and the exterior is polished to reflect the human figure, not only to be beautiful and dazzling, but also to reflect sunlight and prevent the wearer from overheating.

It can also effectively prevent corrosion.

The ergonomic design is especially evident in the legs, which fit the leg and the sharp tips of the boots can even be used as lethal weapons.

It is characterized by rounded, close-fitting, graceful shapes, and extremely comfortable shapes.

Jia Liang stretched out his hand and tapped the shoulder armor, making a clear clanging sound.

Just hearing this, Jia Liang was surprised inexplicably: "Steel? ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the pinnacle of Qingtang cold forging." ”

"How much did it cost?"

The shopkeeper said, "The other party's offer is a five-foot horse, a hundred!" ”

Jia Liang looked worried: "Three thousand iron harriers, even if I pour out the power of Great Xia, I can't equip it......"

I heard a voice outside the door say, "It's man-made." ”

Jia Liang had already seen the figure coming from the courtyard through the shadow of Mingguang Armor, and then turned around and saluted: "I've seen the prime minister." ”

Liang Yi buried it, and was immediately attracted by the armor: "Where did you get this from?" Good! Good armor! ”

The shopkeeper sneered: "This time in the Song Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy also sent people to secretly participate, Qingtang has a team of craftsmen, made such a pair of armor, wanted to go to the Song land to exchange, was seen by the caravan leader, so he promised to be generous, and lured them to Xingqing Mansion." ”

Liang Yi was overjoyed: "What about people? ”

After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few people over.

An old Fan man gave a big gift to Liang Yibury and his family Liang: "I have seen two nobles. ”

Liang Yi asked, "You built this armor?" ”

The old man bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Liang Yibury said: "It's too expensive." ”

The old man bowed down and said, "That's the price for Song Dog." ”

Liang Yi buried and helped the old man: "Which tribe are you from?" ”

The old man knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head and cried: "We are the remnants of the Wei Mu clan, since Emperor Jingzong sank the Wei Mu Shanxi clan, and later abolished the Empress Wei Mu, the clansmen fled in Qingtang, they were bullied, and it was difficult for the country to vote......

"Now that the Song people are fighting in Qingtang again, Hehuang is in danger, we are cornered, the nobles save us, let us come back......"

Liang Yibury hurriedly helped the old man up: "Wei Mu Shanxi deserves to die, but what happened to Queen Wei Mu, the people also have a lot of sympathy, and it is all caused by the instigation of the black clouds. ”

"It's all the previous dynasty, and now the Wuzang clan has been wiped out, the queen mother and the former king have avenged you, and they have also asked for visits to Wei Mu's descendants, but I didn't expect to see it today, it's really an unexpected joy."

Searching for descendants or something is purely casual nonsense, but it does not prevent the old people from being grateful to Dade.

beckoning a few people to take a seat, Liang Yibury looked at this gorgeous armor and couldn't pull out his eyes: "How did you come up with this, it's really ingenious......

The old man called Wei Mu Liangzao, and said to Liang Yizhuo: "So that the nobles can know that the cold forging technique of Qingtang is well-known all over the world, and after we arrived in Qingtang, we devoted ourselves to studying and finally mastered its forging method." ”

"However, the method of Qingtang is to deal with wrought iron, and increase its hardness by hammering. And I, Wei Mu's clan, combined with the manufacturing technology of the Great Xia Qingfeng Sword, finally obtained the key to making this steel armor - forging steel. ”

"Later, we found a book in the Grand Bazaar, the text in it is very strange, but there is a picture, which is the drawing of the current plate armor."

After speaking, he took out a worn-out book from his bosom and a new booklet: "The people of our tribe who went to trade were shocked when they found this booklet, if this fell into the hands of the Song people, what would it be like?" ”

"So I used a hundred catties of green salt to exchange the book back, and inquired in many ways, but it turned out to be a heavenly script."

"After many twists and turns, I found someone who understood this text, translated it, and finally obtained this method."

Jia Liang hurriedly asked, "What about this translator?" ”

Wei Muliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, your nobles, it has been dealt with." ”

Jialiang nodded: "Okay!" So how long does it take to make a pair of armor? How much does it cost? ”

Wei Muliangzao said: "Even if you use my Xixia Qingfeng steel, it takes a month and a half from casting rough embryos to molding, plus grinding and threading. A pair of armor needs to consume 55 catties of iron, and 50 catties of armor. ”

"There is also horse armor in the book, a pair of horse armor is sixty pounds, so one person and one horse, the cost needs to consume 110 pounds of steel, and the iron harrier of 3,000 people needs 300,000 pounds of steel."

300,000 catties, steel!

Liang Yibury tapped his fingers on the table, even if the Song Dynasty Shaanxi, the famous Shangzhou case, to get so much steel, it will take three years!

Western Xia poured the power of the country, and it couldn't be faster!

Jia Liang bowed his hand to Liang Yi and said: "Prime Minister, I am facing Doma, and good horses can afford to lose." ”

Liang Yibury reacted: "Yes, there is no shortage of good horses in Xixia, if the horse armor continues to use the old system, the cost can be saved by half." ”

Jialiang also pointed out several shortcomings of the armor: "The Song army will be Fan Longshan, accustomed to Ye hammer and giant axe; Zhenrong Army Yao Ji, the current weapon is a horse chopping knife. The performance of this steel armor is indeed good, but the helmet and body armor are separated, and if they are hit hard by these weapons, the neck of the person wearing the armor will not be able to withstand it. ”

"And although this armor is much lighter than the iron harrier heavy armor, it is also about fifty pounds, and the requirements for the rider are quite high, since the armor is so strong, why not use it? The design hook can put the spear on hold, and it can also save a lot of effort between charges. ”

"There is also a missing connecting ring on the armor, and the chain impact of the armor horse is the decisive magic weapon of the iron harrier, which cannot be discarded."

Wei Muliangzao was surprised: "The nobleman also has a lot of research on armor......

Liang Yi buried and smiled: "Old man, you will soon become a nobleman." This is Mr. Liang Jia, the deputy envoy of the Great Xia Privy Council, who promoted the Great Xia Privy Council and supervised the affairs of the armor and grain. ”

"The old man is buried by Liang Yi, the prime minister of Great Xia, so I will enter the palace with the deputy envoy and report this matter to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. After the reconstruction, the Iron Harrier will be more powerful than before! ”

After speaking, he stood up: "I received this armor with fifty taels of gold, and you quickly summoned the clansmen to Xingqing and began to build it." After that, we'll try the forged steel you mentioned with a crossbow. ”

After speaking, he sighed on the armor and wiped the finger marks on it with his sleeve: "Actually, I should try it now, but ...... It's really reluctant, hahahaha......"
