Tang Long said to Xiao Tang, and then shook the golden object in his hand in his hand, and the golden light flashed, and Xiao Tang saw Tang Long holding the high imitation that seemed to be a vest soft armor with both hands.

Xiao Tang took the soft armor from Tang Long's hand, weighed it again, and felt that this light armor only weighed about five or six catties, and the Yanling armor pieces on it were mostly made of fine-scale chain steel rings in series. The workmanship is very exquisite, and the craftsmanship is only higher than that of the skilled head and blacksmith in the Bianjing Guanmen Ordnance Workshop, such as the Bianjing Armor Institute, the Imperial Front Ordnance Institute, the Manufacturing Ordnance Institute and the Metropolitan Arsenal.

And Tang Long saw that Xiao Tang seemed to be very satisfied with the soft armor he had worked so hard to build, and he also said very proudly: "The workmanship of the golden armor of the Yanling ring handed down by my brother is really complicated and tight, and the selection of materials for the creation of the Yanling armor piece alone must be very particular. The younger brother repeatedly scrutinized, estimating that the production method of the elder brother's family heirloom armor is not only the method of making armor in my Great Song Dynasty, but also seems to be combined with the means of Qingtang Qiang to build forging armor, so he tried to forge most of the wrought iron into thin slices, and after the fire, he frequently increased the firmness of the cold hammer, and opened the teeth with a file, and its thickness was reduced by about seventy percent compared with before.

The younger brother also tried to shoot the armor with a strong crossbow at a distance of fifty paces. Whenever the arrow cluster is used to shoot the piercing piece on the armor, most of the arrow clusters are hard and the iron is not penetrated by the reverse roll. This can be regarded as an imitation of the elder brother's golden armor made to look like a god, so that it can be used by the cottage brothers when they fight and fight. ”

Xiao Tang looked at Tang Long, who was talking eloquently, and found that there seemed to be more pockmarks on the face and body of this money leopard, although Tang Long was addicted to gambling, but he had a unique ingenuity in building weapons, and now he is indeed able to show his strengths, and in the future, the brothers in the village will have more talisman weapons similar to gold silk vests and black silkworm clothes, at least they don't have to worry about plotting in their bodies, and their lives can be greatly guaranteed when they charge into battle.

But...... Is there only twelve pairs of such precious light armor?

When Xiao Tang told Tang Long again that if the ordnance workshop in the village could have more blacksmiths to help him, whether he could speed up the creation of more light armor, Tang Long shook his head and sighed and said that to create soft armor made by ordinary means, whether it is calcining the iron billet, controlling the heat, or selecting materials, it is all based on his long-term accumulated experience, even if there are more people to create the same thing at the same time, the success rate is even lower. Everyone's techniques are different, and the soft and brittle armor made is obviously different, even if it is built, it is difficult to become a genuine product in the end.

What's more, the official organization of the Great Song Dynasty to build ordnance and armor implements division of labor and cooperation, and the Beijing division and the local state and county weapons workshops under the jurisdiction of the armor alone must be divided into large furnace work, small furnace work, wear joint work, grinding and grinding work, friction knot wrapping work, head kui work, cooked leather work, head kui clothes work and many other workshops, after all, the blacksmith workshop in the Erlongshan village is still limited manpower, while rushing to make light armor according to the style of the gold armor of the Yanling ring, it is difficult to build other ordnance to be comprehensive. Over the years, Tang Long has been able to create twelve pairs of light armor, and he has tried repeatedly day and night, and has done his best.

Tang Long also said that the armor pieces made by the Song people by hot forging methods are exquisite in dealing with the processes of normalizing, tempering, quenching and annealing, but just like the heavy infantry of the Song Kingdom, the infantry armor equipped with infantry armor, although it is a heavy steel armor that can cover the whole body, but it can only continuously increase the number of armor leaves to improve the protection, but the weight will further increase and there will be a disadvantage of greatly reducing the soldier's mobility. The Xixia people made a number of smaller pieces of long iron armor stacked and sewn armor, especially Qingtang Qiang was very good at using the cold forging method to make armor, but this method was difficult to succeed in moving to the Great Song Dynasty (Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings" in the "Volume 19 Instruments" contains: Qingtang Qiang is good at forging armor, iron blue and black, clear and can be seen hair, with musk as the rope, soft and tough...... ）。

It seems that it is also due to the fact that the raw materials produced in the territory of the Xia Kingdom are very different from those produced in the Song Kingdom, and there are deviations in hardness, plasticity, and strength. In addition, few blacksmiths in the workshops in the Song Dynasty knew much about the armor-making process of the Xia Kingdom, so how could they think of combining the construction technology of the Song and Xia countries to imitate the armor-making process?

It is also due to the fact that Tang Long is the son of the governor of Yan'an Mansion and was born in the west of the border court, not only has a very good understanding of the craftsmanship of making armor in the Xia Kingdom, but also has the ancestral forging technology. Regarding the selection of iron and stone ores, Tang Long still relied on Yang Lin, who was in charge of the dart industry to make a living, intended to buy some special materials for Xixia specialties, and then continued to try to improve them after a few years of accumulation, and now Tang Long still wants to build light armor, but the raw materials have long been used up, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the matter of imitating the treasure armor has to be temporarily put on hold.

Xiao Tang also knows that the choice of raw materials when building blades and armor mainly involves the carbon content of each subway stone ore, and it seems that the cold forging technology of the armor with wrought iron as the raw material can greatly improve the density of the iron armor, so that the hardness of the armor can be greatly improved, but the materials from the steel source are different, or how to say that the materials produced in foreign regions such as Uzi steel are extremely prestigious in all dynasties in China?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang stretched out his hand and patted Tang Long's shoulder to show encouragement, and said: "Brother Tang Long has worked hard, although it is extremely rare to only create twelve pairs of light armor now, I will teach Bianjing Yang Xu and Dart Xing Yang Lin to pay more attention to the iron ore you want, and when you can purchase some to the cottage, my brother will have to work hard." ”

Tang Long grinned, and said with a smile: "My brother still trusts me, so he can teach me to show my strengths, and the ability to be good at can make a profit in the city, which makes me feel refreshed in my heart, but I am tired, and what is straight?" ”

Twelve pairs of light armor, I can get one pair, and how should the rest be distributed? Tang Long also knew that Lu Zhishen in Erlong Mountain was in charge of the village master when his brother was acting in the official face, and he was the most enthusiastic among the many leaders in the cottage, so he specially built one according to his figure. Lu Zhishen was born fat, but only the light armor was the most suitable for him.

But there are still ten pairs of soft armor, Xiao Tangxin said that they are all his own brothers, so naturally he can't favor one over the other, but according to the distribution of the generals and partial generals of the Ma Bu Army in the camps, Lin Chong, Sun An and other old seniors who gather with themselves are also the most courageous generals when they charge into battle, of course, they all need to get one, and Qin Ming's fiery leaders also seem to need a soft armor to protect themselves, because Qin Ming is also often the first to fight, and it seems that he has a very hot personality...... The probability of being seriously injured in a chaotic battle is also much higher than that of other leaders.

When Xiao Tang was thinking in his heart, he saw that Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, the two leaders, also entered the main hall of Baozhu Temple. Chen Da, who was slightly injured in a skirmish with Zhujiazhuang before, although his injuries were probably recovered, he was still angry in his heart, and said: "Last time, I was conspired by the birds of Zhujiazhuang and suffered a loss, and the little brother has been angry in his heart. If we hadn't happened to be bumped into, how would we have taught those guys to succeed when we were prepared? This time, I finally want to make a big deal with Zhujiazhuang, so that I can repay my grievances! ”

"Since I am my own brother, not only Brother Xiao Tang, I will also stand up for Brother Chen Da!"

Shi Jin said to Chen Da, and then turned his head to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother, the Panlong Camp led by the younger brother before guarded the cottage, and did not go to Shamen Island to rescue Liu Jingluo, and when the Shiqian brothers returned from exploring Zhujiazhuang, this time my brother can't be biased, and he must also take my battalion to fight the bird Zhuangzi!" ”

At this time, it happened that Ou Peng, the partial general of the resolute battalion in Dazhai, was also in the main hall, and he heard Shi Jin ask Xiao Tang for his life, and also said loudly: "If so, our battalion is the general Tang Bin brother was also plotted by the birdmen in Zhujiazhuang before, Brother Xiao Tang wants to use soldiers, and the brothers of our resolute battalion can't defend in Dazhai!" ”

Xiao Tang listened to Shi Jin and Ou Peng's request for their lives one after another, he smiled slightly, raised his hand, and threw the light armor in his hand towards Shi Jin.
