Unlike Yan Shao's small boats, Gan Ning's ships were large and spacious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is not strange, although they are all ships used by some water thieves, but if you want to cross the Yangtze River, you don't have to think about the gunnery, at least in the last few hundred years, there is no need to count on it, but the ship is a necessary thing, otherwise how can it compete with many soldiers and horses on the Yangtze River?

(Hawkers,After all, it's a Three Kingdoms novel.,Those steam engines.,Or gunpowder or something.,After all, you have to look at the Three Kingdoms.,It's not for the sake of seeing this kind of thing.,At least I think if there is such a thing with an obvious sense of disobedience.,It's better not to read it...) ）

For the sake of Huang Xu's condition, a more spacious and stable ship is undoubtedly necessary, and Huang Zhong feels sorry for his son, so he is naturally willing to send his son to Gan Ning's ship.

Although Gan Ning is unruly, he also admires this man who can defeat him, and even gives his own cabin to Huang Xu and Huang Zhong. He was mixed with the brothers below, and of course, Yan Shao was also followed by a new ship.

Anyway, their original ship is not very good, it is just a temporary lease, and the furnishings inside are the original appearance of the ship, basically even if it is replaced, it is nothing. In addition, Gan Ning's ship is big enough to make a few empty cabins at will, but there is no big problem.

Naturally, it seems difficult to have a separate cabin. It is said that it is a rare big ship on the Yangtze River, and the shipbuilding technology of this era is just like that after all, the building ship may be relatively spacious, but if the water thief uses the building ship. Putting aside the cost and cost of the ship for the time being, just talking about the building ship used by the water thieves for combat is itself a kind of death―――――― the building ship is too tall, there may be nothing in the sea, anyway, the sea is vast, it is no problem to find an island to hide, but there are people everywhere on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the general ships are nothing, if you really get a building boat, you can see it clearly from several miles away.

You must know that the reason why these Jinfan thieves can cross the Yangtze River is not because their strength is more powerful than the naval armies of the princes of each town, well, maybe those small princes can't beat Gan Ning, but it is different for those of Liu Biao's level.

Otherwise, Gan Ning would not have been stopped by Huang Zu in the process of breaking away from Liu Biao, and he would not be able to drag himself out.

In the final analysis, when fighting for strength, it is not only the bravery of the generals, but also the number of soldiers, especially in water battles, but also the number and performance of ships...

One of the great advantages of water thieves is that their ships are light and fast, and they are easy to hide and cannot be detected.

It must be known that the water thieves are no match for the official army in any case, otherwise the water thieves are not even more powerful than the official army. The advantage of water thieves is that they come and go freely, unlike the official army, which can be seen clearly from more than ten miles away...

But...

Squeezing a cabin with his subordinates, Yan Shao is so bad that he doesn't reject it at all...

This is a good opportunity for him to increase his relationship with his subordinates, isn't Liu Bei often sleeping with his two brothers? Yan Shao can also...

At least after living in the same cabin for a few days, Zhao Yun was really more and more moved, almost to the point of swearing to follow him to the death.

At the same time, Yan Shao often went to Gan Ning to chat, so that he didn't drink, he was still a little self-aware, knowing that his alcohol consumption was not as good as this perennial walking on the river thieves secretly, so he only made friends, did not drink, and was very cordial between his words, and put the kind of courtesy and virtuous corporal to the people around him on weekdays, and put the posture of bending and handing over the people around him on weekdays...

Gan Ning was more resistant at first, but in the back, he was not so resistant to Yan Shao...

In the final analysis, Gan Ning also needs a lord who can recognize him, even if his temperament is a little arrogant, but he is not stupid, after being arrogant for a while, it is time to return to normal...

"Come on, Xingba, try this armor..."

After visiting Huang Zhong's father and son, who were staying in Gan Ning's original cabin, Yan Shao dragged Gan Ning out of it, and there were two armor soldiers standing behind him.

During this time, perhaps because of the long time on the water, these armor soldiers under Yan Shao's tent have made great progress. I dare not say that it is as brave as on land, at least it has reached the level of about eighty percent.

Especially in the recent past, he has been competing with the water thieves under Gan Ning's account, except for a few leaders, the rest are not the opponents of these armor soldiers around Yan Shao at all. This not only convinced the water thieves opposite, but also made Gan Ning very sideways.

He knows very well what the strength of his sons is, the Jinfan thief can crisscross the Yangtze River for so long, not only because he is powerful enough as a leader, but every one of them is a water thief who can fight well, but he doesn't want to be the opponent of the people around him and a soldier. Although he already knew that Yan Shao's personal armor was very powerful, he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Especially during the competition, there are still a few water thieves who want to make some tricks―――――― this is not surprising, water thieves, they are doing everything, if they are really as dignified as a military general, I am afraid that they have already died under the Yangtze River for many years.

But even if they used a yin trick, they were no match for these armorers...

To be selected as Yan Shao's armor, not only strength, but also enough experience. Each of these armor soldiers has the strength of a hundred people, and they are also veterans who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.

A soldier who wants to come out alive on the battlefield like a meat grinder needs to be able to use all the methods and powers at his disposal, and only in this way can he survive.

Therefore, the tricks of these water thieves are not new to them at all, and they have even experienced even more dangerous situations on the battlefield.

However, although Gan Ning was afraid of these soldiers, he was not very afraid.

For fierce generals, there are many of the highest evaluations, which naturally include [Wanfu Improper Bravery], Gan Ning may not have reached this level, but it is already close to this standard. For him, two hundred-person long-level armor soldiers may be a little troublesome, but if you want to deal with it, it will be a matter of a few rounds at most...

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

Although he was very jealous of the armor soldiers beside Yan Shao, after glancing at them, Gan Ning focused all his attention on the armor.

Different from the white robe and silver armor given to Zhao Yun at the beginning, this armor is completely black, the whole body is dark, the design is extremely strong, and there are two hideous beast heads on both sides of the shoulders, the whole set of armor looks very valuable, at least Gan Ning has never seen this level of armor even in some generals in Jingzhou.

"This is..."Although he has gotten along well with Yan Shao during this time, at least he is not as resistant as he was at the beginning, looking at the set of armor in front of him, Gan Ning still couldn't help asking.

"This is naturally for you..."Yan Shao smiled slightly, he has seen this scene many times, and he has some habits. For the general, how can you not have a set of solid armor, I see that the scale armor you are wearing looks good, but it is a little worn, so I specially selected this armor from the box, how, do you like it..."

Even water thieves on the water will have armor, but there are not many of them. First, the ships of the water thieves are not very large, and it is very common for the Yangtze River to capsize or fall into the water, and it is not necessary to look for death in heavy armor + ―――――― even if the water is good, if you fall into the water wearing a suit of armor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to swim up alive.

But then again, the main weapon in water warfare is arrows, and if you don't have a good piece of armor, the problem of stray arrows alone is enough to kill people, so people who fight on the water will still wear one more or less...

Speaking of this, in fact, Nanban's rattan armor is very good.

Rattan armor is a kind of armor made of specially treated rattan weaving, which has strong protection against cold weapons. Compared with metal armor, it has the characteristics of light weight, not afraid of water, and strong air permeability, which is very suitable for use in humid areas in southern China. The protective parts are mainly the head and upper body, and are mostly used in conjunction with the shield to protect other parts of the body. The production method is to soak the rattan in water for half a month, but it is dried for three days, and then soaked in oil for a week and then taken out to dry, and finally coated with tung oil. The disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire and flammable, and it is not suitable for use in cold northern.

Of course, the most important thing is that this armor is also buoyant, and can be used as a life jacket even if it falls into the water.

The more troublesome thing is that the rattan armor is afraid of fire, but in the water battle, I don't know if it's just an arrow, and the rocket is also one of the main weapons, if an unlucky soldier happens to be shot by a rocket, wouldn't it be easy to become a fire man?

Of course, it's not so easy to catch fire, and even if it does, it can't cover the whole body in an instant, and it's always easy to take it off, but it's also a flaw.

Another flaw is the time of production, a set of rattan armor takes two years to complete, first cut the green rattan to weave the rattan armor, and then soak it in tung oil. The purpose of soaking in tung oil is to make the rattan armor more resilient. After soaking for 48 hours, take out the rattan armor to dry, at least for two months, and then soak it in grapefruit oil, and so on 5 times, a set of rattan armor can be considered complete, and such a rattan armor dares to wear it on the battlefield.

A set of rattan armor that took two years to complete was not only strong, but also tough, and of course the stone and the knife could not help it, and when the arrow was shot at the rattan armor, if the arrow was shot in the gap between the two vines, the two vines could just jam the arrow, so that the arrow could not move, if the arrow happened to shoot on the vine, because it had been soaked in tung oil, the arrow would slide to the ground.

But this kind of thing is excellent to make into a life jacket...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In any case, a piece of armor is very important for generals on the water and on land.

Gan Ning, as the leader of the Jinfan Thief, also has a scale armor on his body. First, the scale armor is very flexible, and secondly, it is relatively lightweight, which is very suitable for water thieves like Gan Ning.

In addition, Gan Ning is a very sassy character, when he was a water thief, he liked to hang sails made of brocade cloth on his ships, and he also liked to hang bells on himself and put feathers on his head, not to mention the armor he usually wears, of course, it was a fox whistle, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.

But no matter how beautiful this set of scale armor is, it is an indisputable fact that this set of scale armor is too worn.

Even for a big water thief leader like Gan Ning, the value of a good set of armor is very expensive. Especially considering that Gan Ning is extremely strong and a water thief, it is even more difficult to get a set of armor that fits...

By now, the scale armor on the body has been very worn, and there are even rust marks in some places―――――― armor needs long-term maintenance, and it is a relatively fine kind, but it is obviously more difficult for this group of water thieves, plus it is just on the Yangtze River, and the air reveals a dampness, and the rest can be imagined...

Although Gan Ning has not yet put on this armor, just by looking at the color, he knows that this is definitely a piece of armor/

At this time, Yan Shao also continued to speak. "I know you're good at water combat, and you prefer scale armor, especially the lighter ones, but unfortunately I don't have a suitable one here for the time being, but after you get to the North Sea, you don't need to preside over the navy in a short period of time, it's more about leading the army to kill the enemy on land, just give me some time to find a good set of armor that suits you, come, you try this suit of armor and it doesn't fit first..."

But Yan Shao temporarily made people change it, but fortunately, fierce generals like Gan Ning have one thing in common, that is, their physique is very strong, even if there is a slight difference, it is actually not very big, so that they don't worry about being too big or too small.

In addition, the armor of this year could not be particularly standard, and these were all within the allowable range.

As soon as he defected, he was given such a treasure armor, and it was given by the lord himself, how could Gan Ning not be moved, he was originally a person with clear grievances. When he was in Ba County, if someone looked down on him, he would teach the other party a hard lesson, but if the other party treated him politely and kindly, he would also repay the favor...

Seeing Yan Shao with a warm smile on his face, standing in front of him with his armor in both hands, he hesitated for a moment or two, and finally Gan Ning knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Shao and shouted sincerely.

"Lord!"

Mm-hmm, I'll make up for it later!!
