Chapter 597: Imperial Test Arrow 6

To be honest, Zhou Nan is completely bottomless in his heart. He asked Li Feixing to go back to the post house to get the explosive arrow, but after all, this explosive arrow was only made by Hei Huo Yao, and even if he used a bird gun, he might not be able to penetrate two layers of armor!

The armor of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi did not collect less, and every time they finished a battle with the Song army, the two of them pulled back these armors by thousands or hundreds of pairs.

The armor of the Song army, of course, is the most powerful step armor. What black hammer armor, vermilion lacquer mountain armor, black lacquer mountain armor, basically the same, are just a piece of armor pieces connected with leather ropes, but when arranging the armor, the way is different, and the texture of the overall armor is different. In fact, the shape of the infantry armor is similar to the above armor, the difference is that the infantry armor is the infantry heavy armor, the weight is larger, the armor is more dense, and more attention is paid to the whole body protection, which is also the origin of the name of the infantry armor.

No one in any era is stupid. People of this era have long discovered that the use of chain mail is more resistant to arrows and blades. Chain mail is a ring made of iron one by one, interlocking, woven armor, Shanwen armor is this.

Where there is a shield, there must be a spear. With this armor against ordinary arrows, there must be special arrows to deal with this armor. These are the two kinds of arrows of the Great Song Dynasty. One is the long conical type, similar to the shape of a toothpick, which relies on this slender arrow to pierce the interlocking armor, commonly known as the ear-piercing arrow; The other is an arrow with a short and thick tip and a shape like a chisel, commonly known as a broken cone chisel.

The common feature of these two types of armor-piercing arrows is that the front end is thicker than the rear end, so that the back of the arrow can be easily entered into the human body without being stuck by the armor.

If you shoot through armor with an arrow, even if it is a whole piece of iron plate Mingguang armor, if the bow is a hard bow of two or even three stones, and the arrow is a broken cone-breaking arrow that specializes in armor, there is a high chance of being shot through.

It is precisely because of the different uses of arrows, so when Zhou Nan wanted to change the arrows just now, the Jin envoy Ulu didn't care, the bow he chose now was a two-stone hard bow, he used to follow the old emperor A Gu to fight in battle, and also fought against the Liao soldiers, and also shot an arrow through the armor, and shot the Liao general to death. The armor of the Liao soldiers was mostly the same as that of the Song people, and when he fought immediately, the bow he used was not half the strength of this bow. Now he changed to a hard bow, and deliberately chose a short and thick arrow arrow, such an arrow will not break when it hits the hard armor after it is shot violently.

Look at the Liao man again, the bow is still the same as the bow just now, and he only said that he wanted to change the arrows - what use can he do by changing the arrows only? Uru sneered, seeing that the other party's deputy envoy had returned with an arrow, Ulu said impatiently to the imperial guard, "I'll shoot first!" As he spoke, he took the bow and the arrow, and first stood in front of the two-layer armor stack, put the arrow on it, and pulled the bowstring apart with both arms, and did not need to look carefully, but raised his hand to shoot at the armor. I only heard the sound of "grabbing" in the distance, and the arrow was really stuck in the armor.

Uru didn't stop, picked up another arrow, and shot it fiercely at another three-layered stack of arrows, and with another "grab" sound, it was also inserted into the armor, but it was a little crooked.

Seeing this, Uru couldn't help frowning, he knew that this arrow was only not shot through the armor and inserted on the top of the arrow stack, so the body of the arrow was crooked.

After the two arrows were fired, two guards ran to the battlement, untied the armor from the first battlement, and saw that the arrow had penetrated through the two layers of armor, and the arrow was nailed into the battlement.

The two guards hurriedly took off their armor, took the arrows on the armor, held them high, and showed them around, indicating that the first arrow of the golden messenger had pierced through two layers of armor.

The people on the south bank of the Hulong River applauded loudly again, and some people still threw the flowers on their heads to the other side of the river knowing that they couldn't throw them away, and the flowers fell into the river and flowed eastward down the river. Seeing that the first arrow had penetrated the two layers of armor, Ulu even guessed that Zhou Nan's two layers of armor could not be penetrated, and the victory was decided, so he couldn't help but throw aside the disappointment that he had not penetrated the three layers of armor just now, and raised his arms proudly and shouted.

Zhou Nan looked at the enthusiastic people of Bianjing on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the Jin army attacked Kaifeng next year, relying on this armor-piercing cavalry shooting, killing the Great Song Dynasty and almost surrendering, I don't know if these people will be so happy now.

The two guards ran to untie another stack of arrows, and as Uru expected, this arrow still pierced through two layers of armor, but was blocked by the third layer of armor, and not all of them were pierced.

The imperial guard inspected it again, turned around and reported loudly to the tower of Xuande Gate: "The golden envoy Ulu shot two arrows in a row, and both arrows pierced through the two layers of armor, but did not penetrate the third layer. ”

After a while, a shrill voice sounded from above: "Ulu arrows penetrate the second armor, Your Majesty will give Ulu a pair of gin vessels, a hundred satin." ”

Ulu laughed and bowed upward, then turned his head and sneered at Zhou Nan: "I think you know it's not good, and you deliberately delay time, right?" If you can't shoot through, you will give me the seat in the main hall in public, and you will have to hide and walk when you see me Ulu in the future, and I won't need you to shoot arrows today. Hahaha! ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "How do you know that I can't shoot through the three-layer iron armor?" ”

Ulu laughed angrily and shouted: "If you can shoot through the three-layer iron armor, I will be willing to sit on the seat of the Duo Palace, and when I see you in the future, I will avoid you!" ”

"How about I make a bet with you?" Zhou Nan still said with a smile.

Ulu grinned and said, "What's the bet?" will only play tricks like a woman. Be cooler, let the main hall seat out first! ”

"You put on three layers of armor and stand at the edge of the arrow, I will only shoot one arrow, if you can't shoot through, as you say, I will give you the seat of the main hall, and when I see you in the future, I will avoid you, how about it?"

Under such conditions, Ulu was quite impressed. With a hard bow, he didn't shoot through three layers of armor with an arrow, this kid just used an ordinary bow, and at most replaced with an armor-piercing cone arrow, I'm afraid that he would shoot through two layers of armor at most, can he still shoot through the third layer? What's more, what this kid said himself, if he can't shoot through, not only the seat in the hall today, but even when he sees himself in the future, he will have to hide and go. This has severely broken the face of the Liao people, and if they return to the court, they will also add glory to the country.

"I'm afraid you don't have the guts, right?" Zhou Nan added another sentence.

Ulu suddenly said angrily: "If you can't shoot through, in the future, the pavilion will also belong to our Jinren to rest!" ”

"Good! Depend on you! ”

"Don't change bows! I'm going to cover my head and neck, and who knows if you're going to deliberately miss the arrow?! ”

"It's up to you!"

Uru immediately walked to the arrow stack opposite, and beckoned the guards to put on his armor, three layers, each layer of which had to be tightened, and then went to find three pieces of armor to block the front of him. Uru made up his mind, leaving three layers of armor to protect his body wherever this kid could shoot.

Since it was Zhou Nan and Ulu who agreed on their own methods at the beginning, and now that the two of them have changed halfway, it is naturally up to the two of them, and the imperial guards are just directing their guards to find armor for Ulu.
