Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng, the two deputy thousand households, were completely stupid when they heard Jia Ke say this. They don't know if this Senhu Lord of theirs is crazy? How can this paper armor be worn on the body as real armor?

When the hundreds of households next to them heard Jia Ke say this, they were also discussing in disbelief. Although Jia Ke lives next to him, it's not good to say anything too ugly. But all of them expressed their opinions, saying that they were not optimistic about the defensive power of these paper armors.

When Jia Ke heard them say this, he didn't stop it, because he didn't have a bottom in his heart about these freshly made paper armors. It is only after the experiment that we know whether it will be successful or not.

At this time, the three masters had already dressed the three dummies in paper armor, and then returned to Jia Ke's side to report to him, "My lord, the three dummies have already put on paper armor." It's time to experiment. ”

Jia Ke nodded, then turned back to Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng and said, "Which of the two of you will try it first to see if the bow and arrow can shoot through." If it can penetrate, see at what distance it can be shot through. ”

Feng Mo was young and vigorous, and without saying a word, he took a bow from the soldier next to him. Then he walked about a hundred paces away from the three dummies, aimed at one of the dummies, drew his bow and arrow, and when he let go of his hand, the arrow shot like lightning towards the dummy.

I could only hear a "bang" and shoot the dummy accurately, but the arrow that hit the dummy immediately fell to the ground.

As soon as Jia Ke and the others saw that they had been shot, they immediately ran over to see the situation of this paper armor. The crowd arrives at the dummy and takes a closer look at the paper armor on the dummy.

I saw that the part where the paper armor was shot was only a mark four or five minutes deep, and it did not penetrate the paper armor at all. When Jia Ke and everyone saw it, they were all overjoyed. This situation illustrates these paper nails. The defense is still very good.

Jia Ke asked Feng Mo to shoot twenty steps forward, so Feng Mo drew his bow and arrow again at eighty steps, aimed at the dummy he shot just now, and shot an arrow again, this time, still accurately hit the dummy. The arrow was firmly nailed to the paper armor, and everyone stepped forward to watch it again, and found that the arrow was six or seven minutes deep into the paper armor.

Everyone retreated again, and Feng Mo shot at them. Feng Mo continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows. The number of steps kept decreasing, sixty steps did not penetrate, forty steps did not penetrate, and twenty steps did not penetrate slightly.

This is waiting for everyone's defensiveness of paper armor, and they have completely believed in it.

This was followed by a test of the defense of the remaining two pairs of nails.

After testing, the paper armor made by Master Wei is the most sophisticated. At a distance of twenty paces, it is still impenetrable. It does not penetrate the paper armor until it is ten steps.

This kind of defense is in no way inferior to the iron armor that is slightly inferior to the general production.

Jia Ke called Master Wei to him and asked him, "This master, the paper armor you make is the most sophisticated." I wonder if there are some special materials that are not troublesome to make? What's the difficulty if you want to make it in large quantities? ”

Master Wei hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Returning to Lord Qianhu, this paper armor made by the villain is roughly the same as the one given by the adult, and the production method is the same. It's just that the small ones have cotton and linen added to them. In this way, there are bones and sinews in these pieces of paper armor. In this way, these nails are stronger. ”

Master Huang went on to say, "If you want to make paper armor in large quantities, you have to make paper in large quantities. It's not that hard. The paper doesn't need to be good. It's just that there is a shortage of manpower. ”

Jia Ke was overjoyed when he heard him say this, since he knew that the procedure was not complicated, but there was a lack of manpower, it was not simple, there were thousands of young men in Kaipingwei. These soldiers can be completely on top if needed.

Jia Ke called the two deputy Qianhu to his side and immediately discussed with them: "How do you look at the paper armor?" Can it be used on top? ”

Feng Mo had personally tested the defense of his nails just now, and now he was naturally full of praise for the benefits of paper nails. On the spot, he said to Jia Ke: "My lord, if we can all equip the soldiers with such paper armor, and then rely on our new practice phalanx to deal with the Tatars on the steppe, we can at least defeat five with one enemy." ”

Huang Baifeng is also full of praise for the new paper armor. It is required to be made quickly, so that all the soldiers of Kaipingwei can quickly put it on, and strive to let every soldier have a set before the Tatars go south.

Jia Ke and the two deputy thousand households did not object, so they decided to make it immediately, he called Chen Xi and Master Wei to him, and asked them: "If you give more than 2,000 soldiers to Quan Kaipingwei, how long will it take for each person to have a piece of paper armor?" ”

Although Chen Xi was the head of the artisan battalion, he still didn't know much about the new thing of paper armor, so he had to turn around and look at Master Wei.

Master Wei saw Jia Ke and Chen Xi both looking at him, so he lowered his head and considered it carefully, then raised his head and said to them: "Several adults, if the whole craftsman household camp is made together, it will take about two months for each of the Quankai Pingwei to be equipped with one. ”

When Jia Ke heard this, he felt that it was too slow, and in a month at most, the Tatars might have to invade south. He has two months to give Master Wei.

So Jia Ke said categorically: "No, it's too slow, twenty days, I want you to make me two thousand pairs of paper armor in twenty days." ”

When Master Wei heard Jia Ke say this, his face turned pale with fright. He pounced, knelt down in front of Jia Ke, and said to Jia Ke with a crying voice: "Lord Qianhu, you can spare the little one, in twenty days, the villain is really not finished." ”

Jia Ke knew that it was difficult for some strong people, so he stepped forward to help him up and said to him softly: "Master, I know that some strong people are difficult, but I can't afford to wait, and the soldiers of Quankai Pingwei can't afford to wait." It must be completed within 20 days. What do you need to tell me, as long as it is within twenty days, let the Quankai Pingwei soldiers put on this paper armor. I'll do it for you, even if I smash the pot and sell iron. ”

Master Wei looked at the young Qianhu in front of him and felt a little moved, compared to the previous Qianhu who only knew how to make money, this new Qianhu Lord was simply a soldier like a son. For the sake of the soldiers of the full Kaiping Guard, they are all respectful to him, a lowly craftsman, what reason does he have not to give his life? Didn't those adults say that the man dies for his confidant? Now this Lord Jia is his confidant.

So he lowered his head again and thought about it in his heart. Raising his head again, he said to Jia Ke, "My lord, you want me to make two thousand pairs of paper armor in twenty days. In addition to the people of the artisan camp, you must also give me another 1,500 men, and with these 1,500 men, I promise to make you two thousand pairs of paper armor within twenty days. ”

When Jia Ke heard his words, he was overjoyed. He turned to Huang Baifeng and said, "Huang Qianhu, I'll leave this matter to you, let's take all the infantry of Kaipingwei, and then transfer a hundred cavalry from the cavalry team." These people, you take them all, and under the command of Master Wei, you must make 2,000 pairs of paper armor within twenty days. ”

Huang Baifeng arched his hand solemnly and said, "My lord, please rest assured. Humility is to give up this old life, and it will never live up to the expectations of adults. ”

Jia Ke nodded, turned back to Feng Mo and said, "During this time, the infantry have all gone to make paper armor, and our Kaiping Guard's defense is very lax. In the event of a sneak attack by the Tatars, the consequences are unimaginable. You personally led the whole cavalry team, all as scout cavalry, and expanded the reconnaissance area to one hundred and fifty miles to the north and one hundred miles to the south. Can it be done? ”

Feng Mo didn't talk much, and when he saw Jia Ke asking him, he didn't have anything else, just said one word firmly: "Yes." ”

Jia Ke knew that this was difficult for him, but who was not difficult now, he had no way, he had to hurry. So he patted Feng Mo on the shoulder and didn't say a word.
