Since Zhao Huan dared to let Yue Fei lead his troops to the Hetao, since he dared to show off his might in Shenzhou, he naturally had something to rely on!

The armor he asked Zhao Ying to take was the latest water-forged plate armor made by the Great Song Dynasty Guangbei to attack the city.

Compared to chain mail made of a large number of tiny metal rings and scale armor and armor made of small metal pieces, the defense power of plate armor is naturally a big step!

The plate armor accessories that Zhao Huan handed over to Yue Fei before were made of cage hands, knee pads, leg guards and large heart guards, and these plate armor accessories made of stainless steel were invincible on the battlefield, and even created Yue Fei's reputation as a golden-winged Dapeng.

And this set of plate armor in Zhao Huan's hand is naturally a new type of armor made by the Guangbei Weapons Supervisor.

The protective power of plate armor is far superior to that of other iron armors under the same weight, and its flexibility is also incomparable to other iron armor.

The step armor of the Great Song Dynasty is composed of 1,825 armor leaves, and the weight is as high as 58 Song catties, which is about equivalent to the current weight of 70 catties.

Even the crossbowman is lighter and weighs as much as 66 pounds, while the gunner and the horseman weigh 70 pounds.

Such a weight brought a guarantee to the safety of the soldiers, but also put a huge pressure on the mobility and logistics.

The gap between strategic passivity and mobility caused by the lack of iron and horses in the Great Song Dynasty will no longer have such worries after the invention of plate armor.

In the Zhegao Battle of Shaoxing in the eleventh year, the Song army with infantry as the main force, Yue Fei had been transferred to the privy deputy envoy and stayed away from the Yuejia army, but in the Zhegao Campaign, the Great Song Dynasty won a complete victory.

However, because the Song army was wearing heavy armor and too long and large weapons, the load was too heavy, resulting in huge physical consumption, so even if the Battle of Zhegao was victorious, it could not completely annihilate the Jin soldiers who could not form an army.

Zhao Gou chose to negotiate peace with the Jin people in the case of the great victory in the Battle of Zhegao and the victory of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Huan really didn't understand this operation.

Similarly, the current Great Song Dynasty is also facing such a dilemma, Zhao Huan fought a battle of annihilation in Liaoyang, intending to annihilate the Liaoyang Jin army.

But after the Jin people crossed the river, they got on the horse and drove away, and Yue Fei could only watch the smoke and dust stepped out by the Jin people's horsemen, helpless.

The lack of horses and iron in the Great Song Dynasty led to the strategic passivity of being comprehensive, and Zhao Huan continued to improve the two dilemmas of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the galloping road or the military horse farm, or the various policies on the Shangjing Road, they were making up for these two shortcomings.

And the appearance of plate armor is just a patch to fill these two dilemmas.

The dilemma of the lack of armor in the Great Song Dynasty and the 100 pairs of small armor in the five battalions was in the twenty-sixth year of Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne and the loosening of military equipment, and the armor rate of the previous Great Song Dynasty was still extremely good.

There was a shortage of money in the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji felt that it was a waste to put the armor away, and a lot of armor was melted into money.

This is Zhao Ji's misunderstanding.

There is also an extremely important reason for the lack of armor in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is chain mail or scale armor or armor, because its constituent elements are small iron rings, armor pieces and other iron parts are too small, the processing is extremely cumbersome, not only consuming manpower, but also difficult to process and strengthen.

The forging of small iron parts has extremely high requirements for iron, and the iron materials in the Great Song Dynasty cannot meet the production of plate armor at all.

The breakthrough in the technology of casting large-scale arc-shaped metal materials has led to the production time of the integrated plate armor, which is also much smaller than the production of the armor.

And the power of plate armor has also been proven in the normal historical line.

Beginning in 1337 and ending in 1453, England and France fought a hundred-year war in Europa, and in the early stages of the Hundred Years' War, English longbowmen beat European heavy cavalry.

At the Battle of Agincourt, England had only 5,900 men, while the French had more than 36,000, including 10,000 heavy cavalry.

With such a huge disparity in strength, England annihilated about 18,000 people in France with 250 casualties, including about 5,000 nobles.

In the Battle of Agincourt, which is known as a knightly nobleman, the power of the longbowmen can be seen.

However, the outcome of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France ended with the final victory of France.

The reversal of the war situation is inseparable from the emergence and popularity of plate armor, and the tactics formulated around the plate armor as the core war, the English longbowmen were warned, and the French drove England back to the English Peninsula, and the English never had the opportunity to enter the Europa continent again.

Of course, the final victory of France was led by a woman, and that was Joan of Arc.

France, which could only win at the hands of foreigners and women, finally regained Paris in 1437, finally driving the English out to sea.

Zhao Huan squinted and watched Zhao Ying bring in the plate armor armor, and Han Shizhong's eyes were full of greed.

This is a prototype plate armor, and a total of four sets were made.

In addition to one set of experiments in the siege of Guangbei, the Great Song Emperor had one set in his hands, Yue Fei had one set in his hands, and Wang Yu had one set in his hands.

At a distance of two thousand paces, being shot by a bed crossbow could not break the defenses of this plate armor.

And under the strategy of Jin Guo to control the Song Dynasty by learning from the Song Dynasty, the Jin State also had several imitation bed crossbow chariots.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this armor has been tested, and each of our Great Song soldiers will have a set! Ha ha! Zhao Huan smiled with enough spirit, the greed in Han Shizhong's eyes, that was the greed of a military general to a peerless divine soldier.

And this greed is also a recognition of plate armor.

Excellent performance, enough eye-catching polished surface, but also enough bag accessories and textures, the curved cuirass reflects the sunlight and makes people dizzy.

After Zhao Huan tied the leggings and put on the inner lining, he put the plate armor on his body, and with Zhao Ying's assistance, he brought various plate armor accessories.

Armed to the teeth, go to battle in person.

Zhao Huanzhi turned around proudly, this body of plate armor, before the appearance of the arquebus, was invincible!

Zhao Huan had enough self-confidence, wearing a hood and a buckle mask, Zhao Huan even hid his eyes inside the huge mask.

Zhao Huan took two steps, this set of plate armor is only twenty-three catties, but its protective power is already close to the strength of the double-layer cold forging armor, and it is more heavily guarded.

"The horses that lead me! Today, I want to capture Yan Zonghan alive in front of the battle! Zhao Huanzhi laughed proudly, with this sharp weapon, are you still afraid that he will finish Yan Zonghan?

Zhao Huan stepped on the stirrup hard and wanted to turn over on the horse, and stepped on it twice.

Didn't go up.

"What, Zhao Ying, come over and help......" Zhao Huan found that although this plate armor was half lighter, Zhao Huan still couldn't bear this kind of weight.

The heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, when getting on the horse, also needed auxiliary soldiers to help lift the legs, as well as auxiliary tools such as stools for getting on the horse.

Only the strongest of the strong armies carefully selected by Yue Fei's back army, the strongest of those armies, can step on the stirrups and get on the horse by themselves.

Zhao Huan can't go up, it's not a shame.

He is not the main force of the back army, and it is normal that he can't go up.

Zhao Huan always felt that his logic was not quite right, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Zhao Ying didn't step forward in response, but pulled the big driver over and said with a smile on his face: "Official, let's sit here." ”

Zhao Huan looked at his black and white horse, and then looked at his car, and finally shook his head with a sigh, took off all the plate armor on his body, took off the leggings, and changed into regular clothes.

The Great Driver Jade has been improved, and it is all iron in wood, and wood in iron. If it weren't for the fear that the weight would be too great and the horses would not be able to pull it, Li Gang would even be able to make the Dajia Jade Horse into an all-iron chariot, and Zhao Huan would sit in the Dajia Jade Horse, just like sitting in a tank, and wear a Hapi plate armor.

It's better to give it to those in need.
