Chapter 183: Rattan Armor (Three Chapters in One)
Welcome to your visit, please remember the address of this site:
In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi still had primeval forests that covered the sky and the sun, and the water and soil were not as serious as they are now. In modern times, it is this Xiaoice River period and later man-made, such as in the early days of the Republic of China, Nanniwan was still infested with tigers and leopards in the forest, of course, we don't need to blame anyone.
As soon as he entered the forest, Lu Shi had a feeling of returning to his hometown, after all, when he first came to this era, he "lived and fought" here for more than two months, during which he struggled with weak animals to feed his stomach and intestines, and fought with tigers and leopards to survive, and the hardships can be imagined.
When Lu Shi took the sergeant supervisor to teach them ambushes, traps, ambushes, detectives, and other subjects based on actual combat training, they were exchanged for a burst of idiot eyes every time.
This was a great blow to Lu Shi's confidence as a traverser.
The elites of these elites selected by Geng Kui among the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are almost all struggling to survive in the world between the forest and the heavy mountains and the tigers and wolves.
However, Lu Shi's half-understood detectives caught the news of the prisoners, especially the methods of interrogation, which still amazed these prison sergeants, and at the same time greatly reduced Lu Shi's tall and kind image, and then naturally opened the distance between him and the military advisor.
Since there is nothing to teach these overseers, let's assign tasks.
Lu Shi leaned against a big tree and whispered to Geng Kui: "Brother Geng Kui, this training cannot be patronized for practice, but also to do some practical work. β
"But listen to the military advisor."
Lu Shi looked at no one near him, and said solemnly: "According to our original strategic plan, we are about to move to Weinan and build our base there, but here is thousands of mountains and rivers away from Weinan, and we have to be blinded by the passes along the way, which is very dangerous with blind men and horses, especially we also have the transportation of the old and weak and indispensable materials in the brigade, so it is even more dangerous." So I ask your brother to be sure to move south when you train, and to try your best to find a way for us to embark on a great strategic shift, even if it is only for five days. β
Geng Kui frowned and was silent in thought, but looking at the anxious gaze of the military advisor, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take my brother to find a way for everyone." β
"Then please brother." Lu Shi stared at Geng Kui for a moment, not seeing the hesitation in his eyes, so he clenched his fists and asked.
After LΓΌ Shi strictly demanded the minimum limit, the prison sergeant was taken by Geng Kui into the mountains to the south and disappeared.
So Lu Shi was very faceless and played behind the archery team.
The members of the archery team are not as good as other teams, there are 500 soldiers, only the military commander does not set up a team leader.
In fact, it takes three or five years of training for an archer to come out, but where does Lu Shi have three or five years to train him? As a result, Lu Shi relaxed the age limit among the tens of thousands of cottagers, and carefully selected the old hunters.
The training of the archery team is simpler than that of the spearmen, as long as you can stand in a horizontal line, and there is no need to move forward and backward when shooting.
I originally thought that my thinking was very advanced, but when I said this idea, a soldier who escaped from the border army was weak, this is something we must practice, and there is nothing new, military advisor, can you teach us something fresh? Lu Shi was only left with embarrassment.
So after training in a horizontal formation for a few days, Lu Shi drove them into the mountains to collect prey and meat for the cottage soldiers.
They ran and jumped in the forest, strengthened their archery skills, and although the physical training of long-distance running was canceled, chasing prey in the mountains also enhanced their physique in disguise, and the most important thing was the additional by-product, that is, it brought rich meat to the hard-trained warriors of the cottage and the old and weak of the cottage.
The growth of physical fitness can not be achieved by eating enough, the most important thing is to rely on protein, that is, the increase in meat can be achieved, because of the existence of 500 disguised hunting teams, it has been completely able to ensure that the trained soldiers have meat to eat.
Now, the sergeant has set off, and the archers are really not what Lu Shi can teach, just with his archery skills, he can only add to the chaos, what is Lu Shi still doing here? Give the power to those captains, and go back to the cottage by yourself.
Look, crossing is not omnipotent, which makes Lu Shi really feel the sentence: "The development of all new things can only appear by standing on the shoulders of giants." β
So Lu Shi automatically continued to do what he was familiar with, and went to accept the effect he created.
Before this, Lu Shi saw that the cottage soldiers had no armor protection on the battlefield, and the bow and arrow and the lead sprayed by the elm wood would cause great damage to the brothers who only wore single clothes, although the death caused by the bow and arrow was not large, but there were many wounded and ineffective people, so the protection of the brothers was put on the agenda of the day.
The quilt is very powerful, but after all, it is cumbersome, and it can only come in handy when attacking the city, and it is not practical at all if the two armies are facing each other, and the two armies are facing each other, and at this time the armor is the best protection for everyone.
However, the armor is time-consuming, laborious and expensive, and even the thousands of soldiers in the Daming Guard cannot afford to equip it, and it is not at all something that the financial resources of the cottage can do, and there are a number of captures, and dozens of armors can not even take care of the important leaders of the cottage, let alone ordinary soldiers.
The rattan card has been popularized at this time, and it is also the best defensive equipment for bows and arrows, but the soldiers in the gun formation cannot hold a gun in one hand and a rattan card in the other, so they cannot hold a gun to kill the enemy. However, the enemy's long-range bow and arrow damage is the greatest threat to the enemy's front of the enemy.
At this time, Lu Shi thought of a thing in the later generations, of course, the miners' hats in the 21st century are plastic, and before the eighties, they were all made of wicker, which was inexpensive and highly protective, and in this Ming Dynasty, the mountains were full of rattan, (called fritters in the north, perennial plants, excellent toughness.) And basket weaving is a craft that the poor people must know, and it is very simple to do.
With the production of Teng helmet, I naturally thought of rattan armor, which was originally in the Three Kingdoms, and the rattan armor soldiers were helpless to kill the Shu army who lost their armor and abandoned their armor.
However, he also saw the shortcomings of this thing, that is, it was thinner, and the effect of resistance was relatively poor, and Lu Shi had specifically sought out the captain of the eighth team to discuss the gains and losses of the vine armor and so on, so as to improve it in the future. Li Li pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of this rattan armor, and Li Li said: "The shortcomings of this rattan armor are actually very easy to solve, as long as the current single layer is replaced with a double layer." β
Lu Shi suddenly had an epiphany when he heard this, the method is so simple, even if the rattan is a double-layered thing, it will not increase many catties and taels, and it will not affect the combat strength of the soldiers. If you soak it in tung oil, it will be better, then it will be invulnerable.
However, the method of soaking tung oil is not advisable, one is that the cottage does not have so much expensive tung oil, and the other is that once you soak this thing in tung oil, you are afraid of fire, the story of Zhuge Liang burning the rattan armor army is familiar to everyone, Lu Shi does not want his brothers to become roast suckling pigs on the battlefield, so it is only thickened to a double layer, and it is best to pour water on the rattan armor before the battle to prevent fire, even then it will not increase how many catties and taels.
Lu Shi and Wang Xiao arrived at the place where the rattan armor was compiled, it was already afternoon, and there were hundreds of old people working in the piles of rattan in the whole venue.
Seeing that the old man was still entangled in etiquette, Lu Shi hurriedly put down this question, directly changed the topic, and said his idea of increasing rattan armor and rattan helmets, and asked for everyone's opinions, and the dozens of old people said again and again: "This is no problem, there are many old people who know this craft, and it is not a difficult craft, as long as the women and children who are active can cut enough fritters (rattans), Within a few days, it is guaranteed that every child who goes into battle will wear a dense and hard rattan armor and rattan helmet. This can be regarded as all of us doing our best for the cottage. β
After talking about the question of the rattan armor, Lu Shi talked about the problem of eating, and Lu Shi asked casually: "A few uncles, are you ready to eat lunch?" β
Dozens of old people nodded busily, and one of the oldest old men blushed and said, "Eat well, eat well, I've never been so full as today." I drank an extra bowl of porridge according to them, and I was almost catching up with the young man. β
Lu Shi frowned and said, "We have food, why do we still drink porridge?" Didn't the chief in charge of the distribution send it to your house? β
"Delivered, delivered." Dozens of old people were afraid that the military adviser would misunderstand the head of the food distribution, and they also knew that the military regulations of the cottage were strict, so they were busy distinguishing for them: "The people who distribute it are all distributed according to the head, and there is no shortage of grain for us." It's just that a few of us who are old and immortal are useless, so eat less and leave more for those who have long bodies at home. This is still thanks to the blessing of the military advisor, and if it is left in the past, it should have been carried to the mountains by the family a long time ago. After remembering the previous suffering, he kept wiping his tears with his sleeves.
In recent years, in this mountainous land, in the natural disasters, in order to keep their stutters for the next generation to live, some old people have quietly gone to the mountains to fend for themselves, so that such human tragedies continue to be staged.
When Lu Shi heard about such a human tragedy, he smashed his fist on the ground with red eyes and heartbreaking. "This damn thief, this damn world."
When everyone saw the military advisor like this, they were very moved and stepped forward to persuade them.
Lu Shi gave a deep bow to the old people and said solemnly: "Familiar with the language, there is an old man in the family if there is a treasure, I implore you to take care of your health, the development of the cottage is inseparable from everyone." β
