Chapter 55: To Give Armor or Not to Give It?

"It's not necessary, and the armor doesn't add attributes, right?" The system said disdainfully, "Even if you want me to get you armor, it's impossible." Are you kidding? With the development of the times, the progress of armor is the most critical. The quality of armor has a huge impact on the survival rate of a military general on the battlefield. ”

"Huh! No, it has to be armored! It's better to have high-grade armor! When Bao Hong heard this, he also reacted, as the system said, the most weapons are to affect the lethality, to be honest, in addition to adding some force when fighting, he can defeat similar opponents. However, armor can give generals a higher survival rate when charging into battle.

Cold weapons were often used in ancient wars, and when the two sides faced each other, in addition to competing with the soldiers' martial arts and physical strength, armor was also the most important part, which could effectively protect the soldiers' bodies.

On the battlefield, the most lethal weapon is the bow and arrow, and many of the deaths of some generals and soldiers are caused by stray arrows. In some charges, arrows are the greatest weapon to stop the enemy, and shields are indispensable. Armor is even more, it can play an important role in releasing arrows and not very heavy abrasions, etc., a little damage plays a role in the play of strength on the battlefield, a general with a good armor will quite have a life charm.

You must know that many generals are not killed in seconds without small soldiers, but the wounds on their bodies slowly accumulate, and they eventually die of serious injuries. And more well-equipped armor can undoubtedly greatly improve the survival rate of generals, and the longer they survive on the battlefield, the impact on the entire battle situation will be very huge.

Just the armor of the same era can play a huge role on the battlefield, if the system comes up with some more high-tech armor. The role played is even more incalculable.

With the development of the times, the shape of the armor has changed constantly. From the heavy metal armor in the early days, it gradually evolved into a variety of lightweight, ornate light armor.

In terms of the current technology of the Han Dynasty, the iron armor is undoubtedly the most high-tech achievement.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the best armor was forged using the "Hundred Steel Refining Method". Zhuge Liang once ordered the manufacture of "five-fold steel armor", which was forged from steel sheets that were repeatedly selected and beaten five times. It is said that the "sleeve armor" supervised by Zhuge Liang can not only resist ordinary sharp arrows. It is even recorded that "twenty-five stone crossbows cannot be shot."

And the technology goes further to be counted to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty armor has 13 kinds: Mingguang, Guangyao, fine scales, mountain text, black hammer, white cloth, soap silk, cloth back, infantry, leather armor, wooden armor, chains, vests.

At the same time, on the basis of the heavy armor, a new technology armor appeared.

Cloth armor and paper armor are a new type of armor in the Tang Dynasty, which is a kind of light armor with high-tech content. It can also protect the body of a warrior on the battlefield, but it is inferior to metal armor in terms of resistance to the impact of heavy weapons.

By this time, the changes in technology had begun to become more and more apparent. There are many types of armor in the Song Dynasty, such as gold armor, long head armor, short head armor, gold spine iron armor, chain armor, chain mail, etc., and there are many components of armor. According to historical records, the whole suit of armor has 1,825 armor leaves, which are divided into shawls, armor bodies, leg skirts, falcon tails, hoods, curtains, cups, eyebrows and other parts, which are connected by leather threads.

If so, a pair of iron armor weighs forty or fifty pounds. When soldiers wore such heavy armor to fight, their movements became sluggish, so in addition to iron armor, the Song Dynasty also produced light armor.

There are two main types of light armor: one is leather armor. Leather armor was used to connect between the elbows of the iron armor, which increased flexibility and reduced weight; There is also a type of paper armor, which is made by hammering soft paper, which is superimposed. The thickness reaches three inches, and the surface is covered with fabric. Then fix it with a nail, and in case of rain, after the paper armor is soaked, even the arrows and bullets shot by the bird can't penetrate.

Undoubtedly, whether it is heavy armor or light armor, the equipment of the Song Dynasty is far from being comparable to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

If the system is set up with the transformation of equipment. Then the armor in the various romances of the Song Dynasty appeared in the late Han Dynasty, and this protective power is a bit terrifying.

The key is that the various romances of the Song Dynasty are not ordinary, and they always like to describe a dress in the romance, and the 'suits' that can be counted in the Water Margin alone have two digits.

And after the Song Dynasty, there was also the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

In the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It is the period when the status of heavy armor and light armor alternates. The defense of light armor continued to improve and gradually occupied the mainstream, while heavy armor was clumsy to wear, which was not convenient for actual combat, and was gradually eliminated.

The cloth armor of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and the production method was divided into two types, one was to use the cloth as the surface, decorated with iron armor in the middle, and nail nails on the surface; The other is the cotton armor, which is made by a special process, the cotton armor is soft and lightweight, and there are a large number of copper armor bubbles and iron armor bubbles on the surface, so it is light and dexterous, and it can also resist the shooting of primary firearms after wetting.

At this time, the defensive ability of light armor was definitely not under the heavy armor of the late Han Dynasty, and it could even be said that it was even surpassed. Coupled with the fact that its own lightweight advantages are more vividly reflected, what impact will such a set of armor have on the late Han Dynasty?

As for the last Qing Dynasty, needless to say, they were originally a people on horseback, good at riding and fighting, and naturally attached great importance to armor.

However, it is also a rule that novelists basically do not write about the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, but there are very few romances about the Qing Dynasty, and it is rare that the armor of the Qing Dynasty will metamorphose.

In addition to armor, there are many stirrups and horseshoes that were first developed by the crossing party, which are essential good things for the crossing party.

In terms of weapons, purely for military generals, the impact is much smaller than that of armor. No matter how sophisticated the weapons used by the generals are, they are just like that, unless it is a leap to hot weapons.

If there is to be an impact in terms of weapons, it must be equipped with the army in batches. For example, strategic-level weapons such as the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Then this is not to rely on the system to get it out one by one, but to climb the technology tree directly. At least fix a Qin crossbow first, and then get a Zhuge crossbow and then talk about anything else.

It can be said that if he can really point to the technology tree, Bao Hong will definitely not give up this advantage thanklessly, and compete with other princes for hegemony fairly. It's not such nonsense.

In fact, because of the huge role of armor in warfare, for a long time, it was a symbol of a country's military strength.

During the period of confrontation between the three countries, the three countries competed with each other, and there was also competition in armaments. The smelting technology of swords, armor and other equipment in various countries can also be said to be constantly improving in the competition.

Well, now the question arises. What does the system mean? If he wasn't going to do that, he just had to get the weapon out in the first place. But he deliberately opened his mouth to remind Bao Hong. It seems that he is waiting for Bao Hong to notice the loophole in his words, so he can get the equipment out 'half-pushed'.

But then again, what is the purpose of his this? A simple test of Bao Hong's insight? Or is it really just a casual mention that doesn't have any purpose at all?

"If I really get you armor, the impact will be too great." The system said in a deep voice, "Because the will of this world has already participated in our battles, the slightest wind and grass may cause immeasurable changes, let alone introduce the technology of the future to this world?" ”

"Although it is said that many people's weapons are forged in later generations, relatively speaking, weapons are sharper and less easy to damage, and the impact is not very great!" While explaining to Bao Hong, the system is also considering the gains and losses by itself, "So, this matter still needs to be thought about!" ”

"Xue Rengui and Wang Bodang, aren't their bows and arrows also things that can have a greater impact?" Bao Hong's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't think the impact of the increase in the range and strength of the bow and arrow will be less than the impact caused by the armor. ”
