Chapter 291: Wanting to Get the Vine Armor

"The lord still doesn't talk about this Yang Nong, let's talk about what kind of place this Ugo country is. [Dance Ruo starts]" Zhang Song said quickly.

Zhou Fan smiled slightly, he was indeed ashamed of this Yang Nong's character, but if he wanted to pacify this Nanban, he might really need the help of this Yang Nong. As for the position of the Southern Barbarian King, then he can only hehe, Zhou Fan doesn't dare to let such a person sit on the seat of the Southern Barbarian King, otherwise he will really have trouble sleeping.

"This Ugo country is about six or seven hundred miles west of the Nanban, as for the population of this one, I don't know, there may be more than ten or two hundred thousand." Zhou Fan said casually. As for this population, Zhou Fan is just guessing.

In history, the southern barbarian king Meng Shu also borrowed troops from the Ugo country, and the king of the Ugo country sent 30,000 vine armor soldiers in one go. This is just to help that Menghu, you can send 30,000 soldiers and horses in one go, and the population must be about 200,000, which is a good small country.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other a little, they thought that this Nanban was already the last existence in the southwest, but they didn't expect that there were other countries in this rear. However, what they were a little curious about was that even Dong Wu, a native of Nanban, didn't know about this Ugo country, and how did he Zhou Fan know about it.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhou Fan also smiled bitterly, he couldn't say that he was watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"The world is bigger than you can imagine. We are just a small existence in this world. In addition to the Han Dynasty, there are countless large and small countries, some of which are even a few points stronger than our Han Dynasty. Zhou Fan said.

This Ugo country is already good, if you look at the geographical location of the later generations, it is probably near Myanmar, it is relatively close to the Celestial Empire, and there are Cambodia, Thailand and other places behind it, but now there are countries in these places, and Zhou Fan doesn't know.

That Western Han Zhang Qian out of the plug. Along the way, it wasn't like encountering the countries of the Western Regions. As for the country that Zhou Fan said was several points stronger than the Han Dynasty, it was naturally the current Roman Empire.

However, all of this was still too far away, and Zhou Fan didn't plan to tell them these things now. Today's Zhou Fan only controls the Yizhou of the Han Dynasty, and the entire Han Dynasty has not taken it. Not to mention other continents, other countries. As for the future, if there is an opportunity, it is inevitable that you will have to go through it like this.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. It was hard to hide the shock in my heart, it turned out that all along, they were just frogs at the bottom of the well. If I hadn't heard Zhou Fan say it inadvertently today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known these things for the rest of my life.

"The lord cares so much about this Ugo country, and I think this Ugo country also has its own advantages." It was Xun You who recovered from the shock first and turned the topic back.

Zhou Fan nodded and said: "The people of the Ugo country have a special ability, their soldiers will wear a kind of rattan armor and weave a kind of rattan armor with local rattan, which is repeatedly soaked in oil and dried. It is light and dexterous, it can meet water without sinking, and its defense is not bad, and ordinary knives and arrows are not half of it. ”

"That's amazing!" Gan Ning was shocked: "Then isn't this even more powerful than our heavy armor." ”

If this rattan armor soldier is really that powerful, then what else is there to fight, just admit defeat.

The rattan armor soldiers are more powerful than his own heavy infantry, and Zhou Fan can't help but wonder, these two are obviously not the same level, okay.

If the two thousand heavy armored infantry and the two thousand rattan armor soldiers were put together, and the real sword and gun were fought, Zhou Fan could guarantee that the rattan armor soldiers would be destroyed in minutes.

How can the defensive power of this rattan armor be compared to this heavy armor? Although the rattan armor is ordinary, the knife and arrow can not hurt half of it. But as long as the soldiers with more strength want to break through their defenses, it is not impossible. As for the heavy armor, you have people go and see it. Even if it is an existence like Dian Wei Huang Zhong, it is still a question whether he can split this heavy armor.

But when it comes to their existence, if they want to kill this heavy infantry, where do they need this stupid method, they only need to find a place without heavy armor defense and kill the enemy. Even if this method is not used, its sheer power is enough to stun any hoplite to death.

But this rattan armor also has its advantages. As soon as the cost is cheap, look at how cheap it is to see how cheap it is if the Ugo country can come up with 30,000 sets in one go. Another point is that this rattan armor is light, and the heavy armor has high defense, but its weight is not a joke, and the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers cannot afford it at all. And the lightness of this rattan armor is even lighter than ordinary leather armor, which is something that the heavy armor can't catch up with.

However, this rattan armor is 11,000 good, but it still has a fatal weakness, which is a pity.

"My lord, you said earlier that this rattan armor needs to be soaked in oil and dried to make it." A glimmer of light flashed in Xun You's eyes and he said.

Zhou Fan was also quite shocked in his heart, Xun You is Xun You in the end, and he found the key point at a glance; "Yes, this rattan armor is actually not as powerful as you think, and it has a fatal weakness, that is, it is afraid of fire."

Afraid of fire! Everyone's eyes lit up, if this rattan armor really needs to be soaked in oil and dried as he Zhou Fan said, then this fire is definitely its nemesis.

"No wonder the lord wanted to ask Dong Wuzhi if he knew where this snake valley was, it turned out that he was planning to ambush the people of the Ugo country there." Zhang Ren said suddenly.

"Ahh Zhou Fan nodded, but his thoughts were a little absent-minded.

In history, Zhuge Liang lured the rattan armor soldiers to the range of the Snake Valley, and then burned the 30,000 vine armor soldiers with a big fire, but Zhou Fan didn't want to do it now.

Everyone looked at Zhou Fan's somewhat tangled expression, and they were also a little puzzled, they didn't know why Zhou Fan had obviously found a way to deal with the rattan armor soldier, but he was still a little sad at the moment.

Xun You's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "The lord wants to get that rattan armor!" ”

Zhou Fan was shocked in his heart, glanced at Na Xun You, and said, "It's still Gongda who has won my heart." ”

Zhou Fan really wants to get the rattan armor, and even the production method of the rattan armor, although this rattan armor is afraid of fire and the defects are too big, but it also depends on where it is used. If you put on this rattan armor for the sailors, not only do you not have to worry about fire attack, but you can even use it as a life jacket, and the water battle is still based on bows and arrows, and it is not difficult to block the arrows with the defensive power of this rattan armor.

However, if Zhou Fan burned this rattan armor soldier to death with a fire, it would be regarded as an enmity with the Ugo country, and this rattan armor would have no hope of getting it for the rest of his life.

"If the lord wants to get this rattan armor, there are some ways." Xun You said.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him. (To be continued.) )
