Chapter 717: A simple shrunken version of the plate armor

The morning glow is ten thousand roads, and the brilliant glow shines on the hillsides and dense forests, and it is golden. Not far away, the Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the mighty river water hits the rocks through the Niuzhu Rock, drumming out a whimper-like echo.

Changsun Chong stood at the edge of the dense forest, looking at the Shanyue people who were still snoring or lying down, and gritted his teeth with hatred. Such a group of guinea dog-like waste, only know how to eat and be lazy, do not produce, swarm when looting, but there is no way to advance or retreat, do not understand etiquette, morality and ethics, and live is a waste of food! No wonder generations have not dissolved in the world, and they have been expelled from this deep mountain, dense forest, poor mountains and bad waters to fend for themselves, and they are really to blame!

If it weren't for the fact that he was no longer in the court, he would have brought troops to come and slaughter them all, so as to get rid of this scabies for time!

The Shanyue Sect Marshal who only has muscles but no brains is also unreasonable. kept saying that they didn't want to attack the mountain to slaughter Fang Jun, and they didn't want their tribe to die in vain, but don't you know that if you weren't the best person to take the blame, how could the Jiangnan Shi clan allow the mountains to gather and wreak havoc in Xuanzhou?

If you don't kill Fang Jun, what's the use of you?

Kill Fang Jun, it's even more useless to stay!

In any case, there is only a dead end in front of him, but he doesn't know it, and he still wants to set up troops to rob Danyang, which is simply insatiable and stupid!

Looking up at the top of the mountain, the eldest grandson Chong sneered in his heart, not anxious.

I really didn't expect Fang Jun to be just rated

One hundred and ten people in the consular district can repel several charges of the Shanyue people, it seems that this mallet is not a fluke in the two battles of the Turkic wolf cavalry in the Western Regions, and the means of leading the troops are indeed better than their own.

But so what?

Not yet trapped to death, about to become lambs to the slaughter?

Think you can stick to this place and wait for help? It's just naïve! Almost all the Jiangnan Shi clans have formed a tacit understanding, not only will they never let the prefectures and counties send a soldier to rescue, but also send the soldiers and dead soldiers raised by their respective clans to come, be sure to kill Fang Jun here, and give the court and the princes a deterrent!

Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan Shi clan, even if he is the emperor, he doesn't want to get involved in robbing the interests of the Jiangnan Shi clan!

The eldest grandson Chong did not approve of the ambitions of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and even disdained it. If you are allowed to run rampant for a while, you have really forgotten how Your Majesty got started, how he ascended to the throne, and how he sat firmly in the world?

When His Majesty is forced to raise the butcher's knife to bury his ideals, the Jiangnan Shi clan will face a bloody purge, and the eldest grandson Chong is extremely sure! It's a pity, he is now a lost dog, a lonely ghost, what does the major events of the court have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong reached out and pressed the saber on his waist, and his eyes shot a hateful gaze! He doesn't care what the ending of the Jiangnan Shi clan is, and he doesn't care whether the Shanyue people will be annihilated in the river of history, he only needs Fang Jun's head!

There was a sudden sound of "clanging" in his ears, and the eldest grandson listened attentively, the source of the sound seemed to be the top of the mountain, was it striking iron? Concentrate on looking at the top of the mountain, but the morning sun is dazzling, the eyes are gorgeous, and people are dizzy, and the distance is a little far, and it is not clear what is being done on the top of the mountain.

Changsun Chong suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, Fang Jun's kid may be a little frizzy in doing business, but he often comes up with some whimsical ideas, and his ability to do strange tricks is surprising.

Could it be that this kid is engaged in some kind of conspiracy?

Changsun Chong was a little uneasy, although he was sure that it was impossible for the nearby state capitals and counties to send soldiers to the rescue, but the night was long and dreamy, so it was better to slaughter this kid quickly to rest assured! But looking around, there were not many dead soldiers of the various families gathered around him, and most of them were crossbowmen, and there was a lack of heavy infantry. Crossbowmen are strong in sniping, but they don't have much advantage in attacking them. Now the soldiers and dead soldiers sent by various families are coming in an endless stream, as long as they wait a few more days, they will definitely be able to attack the uphill slope in one go, and they will be able to slash Fang Jun in one go!

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Changsun Chong could only wait. If there is no absolute advantage that can guarantee that Fang Jun will be wiped out, in case he relies on the cavalry to find a loophole and break out, all his plans will be in vain......

*****

Fang Jun on the mountain naturally didn't know what Changsun Chong thought, and he didn't know that Chong Guan's angry father had already mobilized his officials with the power of Zai Fu to start a game with the Jiangnan Shi clan. He is now fully engaged in the joy of farming......

The iron ingots made in the iron-making furnace had not yet cooled, and the soft mass with a dark red color was clamped by iron tongs and placed on the rootstock, and the huge hydraulic forging hammer was pushed high by the force of the water, and then fell quickly.

"When"

The huge forging hammer carried a huge amount of kinetic energy, and struck the soft iron ingot, which was originally an oval iron ingot, and suddenly deflated. The hammer kept falling, sparks splashed everywhere, the blacksmith held the iron tongs and excited the iron ingot to constantly adjust the focus point of the forging hammer, and in a moment of effort, the original iron ingot became a thin rectangular iron sheet with a concave and convex arc.

The blacksmith felt the thickness of the iron piece, removed it with satisfaction, and replaced it with another iron ingot to continue beating......

Another blacksmith took a large piece of iron, used a very hard steel chisel to nail holes in the four corners of the iron sheet with a hammer, and threaded it through a thin piece of leather, connecting it with a patch of similar shape from earlier.

A soldier standing there was already standing there, allowing the blacksmith to pick up the two pieces of iron and put them on himself...... Suddenly it became a suit of armor.

It's just that this armor is different from the previous fish scale armor or Mingguang armor, and there is a complete iron plate in front of and behind it, and the protection is not weak, but the flexibility is much worse.

Among the more than 100 craftsmen, half of the blacksmiths, the blacksmiths beat the iron, the rest helped, seven or eight hydraulic forging hammers all started, the sound of "jingle bell" sounded into one, a piece of iron plates of different shapes or large or small, flat or convex, wide or narrow, each according to the drawings in front of the shape, the division of labor is clear, the speed is extremely fast.

On the other side, Fang Jun, together with Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan, assembled iron pieces of various shapes and put them on a war horse that was constantly snorting.

"Master Hou, it's just ...... It's ...... O man of God! Liu Renliang looked at the full suit of vest on the war horse, and looked back at the knights around him who were all equipped with iron armor, and couldn't think of any words to express the shock in his heart!

Liu Renyuan, who was next to him, had sparkling eyes, and looked at Fang Jun's gaze in amazement!

How did Master Hou grow this brain?

Just after a little sleep, you can actually come up with such a simple way to make a full set of cavalry heavy armor?

Fang Jun remained cold throughout the whole process, giving people a more and more unfathomable feeling......

But I was very proud in my heart. This was shocked by us? Hehe, it's just a simplified and shrunken version of European plate armor......

Cavalry equipped with armor such as fish scale armor is called "iron cavalry", so there is no reason why cavalry equipped with plate armor is not, right?

The upper body of the plate armor is the main body, called the cuirass, and the front chest and back are a whole plate. On the arm, there are two plates, the upper arm board and the lower arm board, the elbow joint is connected, and it is not a whole cylinder, focusing on protecting the front, and there is a gap in the back. The lower body is divided into several parts, the thighs, calves, knees, and feet have protective plates, respectively, while there are no protective plates on the inner thighs and behind the buttocks, above the knee bend, because if these places are added with protective plates, it is impossible to ride a horse and cannot move.

Plate armor has been deified by many people, saying that it is invulnerable, but in fact, there are as many disadvantages as advantages, and it is not difficult to make. The key challenges are the quality of the iron and the hydraulic forging hammer. Without high-quality iron, it is difficult to create components with perfect arcs, and there is no hydraulic forging hammer...... If you rely on manpower, you will be tired and vomit blood, and you can't hit the two pieces of iron in front of your chest and behind you!

Of course, under urgency, Fang Jun could not create a perfect plate armor, the edge of the iron plate was raw, and he would cut himself from time to time, the curvature of the breastplate was uneven, and it deflated while bulging, and all parts were handmade, with different sizes and uneven shapes......

To describe the created plate armor in one word: ugly!

However, it is more than enough to face the soldiers and soldiers of the Shanyue people and the major families. Crossbowmen pose little threat to the mounted iron cavalry, and the soldiers of the major families, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness, cannot resist the charge of the mounted iron cavalry. As long as there is no heavy armor infantry, the simple shrunken version of the iron cavalry created by Fang Jun is invincible - in fact, there are few formed heavy infantry in this Tang Dynasty.

Fang Jun believed that as long as he was given three days, he would be able to equip more than fifty mounted iron horses, which was enough to crush the enemy at the foot of the mountain!

In fact, Fang Jun's troops have always relied on their equipment superiority to crush the enemy, so they won the victory. The Turkic wolf cavalry in the two wars relied on the powerful power of firearms and surprise, and finally won, and now in the face of the coalition composed of the Shanyue people and the soldiers sent by the major families, the plate armor has become an unexpected and fierce existence......
