Chapter 075: Take a big gamble
The first time he went into battle in the real sense, Sun Ce didn't sleep very well, got up early, practiced boxing for a while, and practiced the necessary weapons such as knives and halberds to find the feel. He doesn't wear armor when he practices martial arts, even if it's cold in the morning, he likes to wear a single coat or even practice martial arts bare-chested, until he sweats, and when he finishes practicing, he washes his body, and then he officially wears armor.
When Huang Yueying came, Sun Ce had just finished training, his body was covered with beads of sweat, steaming hot, and his muscles were rolling under the smooth skin. This is a real muscle, and it is the result of more than ten years of martial arts practice by Sun Ce himself.
Huang Yueying blushed inexplicably after a glance, turned her head, and hurriedly walked towards Sun Ce's big tent. When I entered the tent, I saw Pang Tong cleaning up the bed, and the gold silk brocade armor was neatly folded and placed next to the pillow. She glared at Pang Tong and said angrily, "You folded it?" ”
Although Pang Tong is two years older than Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying came a few days earlier, and with the support of her father, she is relatively strong, Pang Tong really didn't dare to provoke her, and hurriedly said: "No, the general folded it himself." ”
"Hmm." Huang Yueying's face was slightly pale, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said: "I will do these things in the future, you are a man who wants to do great things, don't waste time on these things." ”
"Well, thank you so much." Pang Tong couldn't ask for it, so he agreed. Although he was young, he had great ambitions and wanted to do great things, and he had little interest in these waiters' chores. He let go of the side, while watching Huang Yueying quickly clean up the bed, gossiping, and unconsciously said that he heard the tune last night, and sang it softly to Huang Yueying.
"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. Huang Yueying chanted twice in a low voice, straightened up, and looked at Pang Tong with burning eyes. Did you hear it right, it was really the captain? ”
"I asked Zhou Gongjin, it was indeed composed by the school captain and composed by Zhou Gongjin."
Huang Yueying nodded and didn't say anything more. Seeing Pang Tong standing aside stupidly, she took a sip. "Look, I've done these things, and you can't be idle, go and see what else you have to prepare. Today, the captain will personally go into battle to attack the city, and the armor, weapons, and command flags must not be missed. ”
Pang Tong woke up like a dream and hurriedly walked out.
Huang Yueying sang softly twice more, and the more she sang, the more she liked it, not only the song was desolate and moving, but the words were even more majestic and compassionate. She was singing intently when someone suddenly slapped her on the buttocks. She was startled, screamed, covered her hips with her hands, and hid in the corner.
"Who?"
Sun Ce stood in front of her, also with a shocked expression. "Why are you, Shi Yuan?"
He ...... He went out. Huang Yueying's face was red and her ears were red. Although he has been studying with Sun Ce for so long, Sun Ce rarely has physical contact with her, and at most touches her head. Seeing that Sun Ce was surprised, she knew that Sun Ce had mistaken her for Pang Tong, and then she felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that the captain and Pang Tong are so close? Pang Tong is so ugly, how can he ......
As soon as she thought of this, Huang Yueying suddenly felt uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly, and she was inexplicably a little more resentful towards Pang Tong.
Seeing that Huang Yueying's face was not good, Sun Ce was also a little embarrassed. "That...... It's dark in the tent, I misread you, and I think you're a Shiyuan. Don't mind. Does it hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you? ”
"Captain!" Huang Yueying's face turned red and screamed.
"Oh, no, no." Sun Ce was also a little confused. Although he thinks Huang Yueying Lori is cute, he has never only admired and loved, and has no blasphemy. He turned around twice, saw the golden silk brocade armor on the bed at a glance, and hurriedly picked it up. "This ...... Thank you, I like it very much. ”
Seeing that Sun Ce was incoherent and embarrassed, Huang Yueying's anger had already disappeared by three points, and she couldn't help but glance at Sun Ce, and said angrily: "What's the use of liking, I can protect you thoroughly." I've already tried, lined in the fish scale armor, you can defend against three stone crossbows at a hundred paces, six stone crossbows at a hundred and fifty paces, and you have to be careful within a hundred steps. ”
"Okay, okay." Sun Ce is not greedy, since the strong crossbow is a sniper weapon, it is conducive to long-range shooting, not conducive to close combat, it is unlikely to appear within 100 steps, and the threat is not as good as the hand crossbow brought by the guards. This gold jacket is not body armor after all, and the strength of gold wire is also limited, and it is beyond his imagination to have such a protective effect. As soon as he thought of the golden thread, Sun Ce immediately thought of the right thing.
"Gold wire is too expensive, iron wire is easy to rust, have you ever thought of replacing it with copper wire?"
"I haven't tried it, copper wire is hard to find." Huang Yueying frowned, disapproving. "I didn't use one gold for two gold jackets, so if it's a little more expensive, I didn't want to do too much."
"If it's good, why don't you do more?" Sun Ce disagreed with Huang Yueying. "If the effect is good and the cost can be reduced, I hope that every soldier will have one. How much effort does it take to train a warrior? One more protection, one more hope of survival, and maybe a family. Achu, this is a good deed with immeasurable merit, and you can't take it lightly. ”
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows, remembering the sentence "Xing, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer", knowing that Sun Ce was not talking about it, but from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help laughing: "I know, I'll think of a way to do it." However, like you, even if you have mountains of gold and silver, you can't support thousands of people. ”
"That's where you need to use your brains." Sun Ce habitually raised his hand and touched Huang Yueying's head. "Think about it, how precious bronze was when it first appeared, and now, besides the cluster of arrows, who else uses bronze weapons. Iron was originally evil gold and could only be used as agricultural tools, but now it is the mainstream of weapons. Why is there such a difference? This is the progress of technology, the change brought about by the ingenuity of people. Of course, weapons and equipment need money, but it is never simply about fighting for money, but for wisdom. ”
Huang Yueying covered her hips with one hand and her forehead with the other, staring at Sun Ce angrily. Sun Ce had just patted her buttocks with this hand, and now he was touching her head again, which was extremely hateful. But Sun Ce said excitedly, and didn't notice Huang Yueying's careful thoughts, waving his arms, and his eyebrows fluttered.
"Gold wire is precious, but its strength is not good, less than one-tenth of that of iron. If you can draw iron into silk and make such a battle jacket, I dare say, you don't even need to wear iron armor, and the protection is enough. ”
"Can iron still be drawn into wires?" Huang Yueying didn't care about resenting Sun Ce's unruly hands, and said in surprise: "The iron is so brittle, how can it be drawn?" ”
Sun Ce's eyes rolled. "Do you want to make a bet?"
Seeing Sun Ce's eyes, Huang Yueying immediately became alert. "How to bet?"
"If I can draw iron into silk, you will be my companion for the rest of my life. If not, I will give you back your freedom, and at the same time return the land of Huang Cai's two families to you. ”
Huang Yueying blinked. "Why don't you change the way you bet, make a big bet. From now on, your ordnance will be supplied to my Huang family, and I promise to draw the iron into silk. If you can't do it, I'll make you a lifelong companion, how about it? ”
Sun Ce laughed and pointed at Huang Yueying. "You're smart. Okay, I promise you. Come, empty words, high-fives as an oath. ”
Huang Yueying looked at Sun Ce's erected palm, pursed her lips in disgust, and slipped out of Sun Ce's side. "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. From now on, you can't hand over the ordnance business to someone else. In three years at most, I will definitely be able to draw iron into silk. ”
Sun Ce woke up like a dream and slapped his thigh. "I'll go! I fought an eagle all my life, and today I was caught by a young eagle. ”
Outside the tent, Huang Yueying's crisp laughter gradually faded away, full of triumph that the trick had succeeded. In the tent, Sun Ce's eyes were relieved and relieved, he just wanted to laugh proudly, and Zhou Yu flashed in.
"Bo Fu, Wancheng sent news that Cao Cao broke through Kunyang and entered Nanyang, and the striker has reached Xinye."
