"This thing is a hydro forging machine?" Looking at this huge and peculiar forging hammer, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but ask curiously to Yang Xitong beside him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Yang Xitong also nodded, and said to Zhang Shihua: "Yes, my lord, this is the hydraulic forging machine made by the lower officials and all the craftsmen, processed and added under your order." This forging machine has a power that is beyond the reach of manpower, and it is indeed able to quickly and efficiently create the kind of strange armor you drew for your subordinates, as you said, General. ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "So, Master Yang, you have already created that kind of armor?" ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he also nodded, and said to Zhang Shihua: "Lord Qiyu, the lower officials and all the craftsmen, it took three days to process and add points, and it was indeed after building a hydraulic forging machine for you, the general, you made a pair of plate armor that you said. ”

Hearing that Yang Xitong and they really made the plate armor, Zhang Shihua's face couldn't help but show a look of excitement that he couldn't hide, only to see that he couldn't care about the hydraulic forging machine in the factory at this time, but said directly to Yang Xitong: "Master Yang, quick, take Ben to see the plate armor you made." ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he naturally bowed his head and said "yes".

However, just when Yang Xitong bowed his head and said yes, Guo Yu, Zhang Mingtong and Bai Xi couldn't help but think in their hearts: "You can make a pair of armor in three days with this thing, no wonder the general is so excited, this thing is simply an artifact, with this thing, you can't go there in this world." ”

Thinking like this in their hearts, the three of them couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua with more and more reverence. Because in the minds of the three of them, this kind of thing is an artifact, and Zhang Shihua, who commanded Yang Xitong and them to create this thing, is naturally a god-like existence.

As for the hydraulic forging machine, it was actually something made by Yang Xitong and his craftsmen, and it was ignored by the three of them at this time.

Because in their minds, if they didn't have their own general's allocation, even if they gave Yang Xitong another brain, they would never be able to create this kind of thing, so this kind of thing naturally miscalculated the creation of their own general.

And because of this, the three of them couldn't help but become more and more curious about the kind of plate armor that their general said. Because in their minds, as long as the kind of plate armor of their own general can have seventy percent of the defense power of the infantry armor, then they will definitely not be afraid of any officers and soldiers in the future.

After all, with good places like Wuyang and Ye Xian, which are rich in coal and iron, they don't need to worry about coal and iron at all in the future. And this also means that in the future, all the soldiers under their command will be able to wear iron armor on the battlefield.

You know, it's an iron armor, if there is such an iron armor army, then I will be afraid of a ghost on the battlefield in the future.

As for the kind of plate armor invented by Zhang Shihua, will it have a defensive power comparable to that of the Buren armor. For this matter, Guo Yu and the three of them didn't dare to think about it, because this kind of thing, in some ways, was beyond the ability of the three of them.

And for the three of them at this time, Zhang Shihua naturally didn't know. Because Zhang Shihua had already put all his thoughts on the plate armor in front of him at this time.

"Yes, that's right, this thing is indeed exactly the same as the plate armor of the West in later generations." Looking at the plate armor in front of him, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but whisper excitedly. Then, I saw Zhang Shihua, whose face was full of infatuation, stretched out his hand to caress his lover as if he wanted to touch his lover, and stroked the plate armor on the table over and over again.

And after stroking this armor, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn to Li Wu behind him, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Ah Wu, hurry, go get a pair of divine arm crossbows, I was going to try the armor." ”

When Li Wu heard Zhang Shihua's words, he naturally claimed it at the first time, and hurriedly took a pair of divine arm crossbows for Zhang Shihua.

And after Li Wu took the Divine Arm Crossbow, Zhang Shihua, Yang Xitong and Guo Yu couldn't help but go out of the room with the plate armor. And maybe Yang Xitong guessed that Zhang Shihua would try his armor, so outside the room where the plate armor was placed, there was this wooden shelf that could be used to place the armor.

After seeing the wooden shelf, Zhang Shihua was naturally busy ordering the soldiers under his command to put this pair of plate armor on the wooden shelf. And just when the plate armor was put on the wooden frame, Li Wu, who had always been good at archery, also stepped on the iron ring in front of the Divine Arm Crossbow with his foot and wound the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Obviously, this time, Li Wu is going to personally hold a divine arm crossbow to try on the armor of his general.

The first time he tried the armor, Li Wu didn't know about the armor of plate armor, and considering that this armor was invented by his own general, he was afraid that if he shot this armor at one time, it would make his general unhappy. Therefore, he did not dare to get too close, but stood seventy paces away, that is, one hundred and five meters, with a divine arm crossbow in his hand, preparing for his first armor test.

Of course, Li Wu probably also has the psychology of showing off to Zhang Shihua by doing this. After all, it is not easy to use a weapon like the Divine Arm Crossbow to shoot at a target from a distance of seventy steps, and he probably wants to show off his archery skills in front of Zhang Shihua.

But no matter what you say, the first test launch was still 70 steps away.

In which open space, Li Wu, who was holding a divine arm crossbow, felt the gaze of his own general and others, and couldn't help but raise the divine arm crossbow in his hand, and when Guo Yu shouted the word "shoot", he instantly deducted the machine of the divine arm crossbow and shot out the special divine arm crossbow arrow.

"Boom~~Uh~~" Hearing the crisp sound of the crossbow string of the divine arm, Zhang Shihua and the others in the open space couldn't help but turn their eyes to the plate armor in an instant.

Suddenly, I saw a spark on the plate armor that collided with the arrow, and there was nothing wrong with the plate armor.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yu and the three of them couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Obviously, the armor's defense has exceeded their expectations. Because at this distance, although it is said that the step armor can also resist the arrows of the god arm crossbow, the step armor will never let the plate armor be like this, only scratching a little trace, and there is nothing on the surface of the armor.

"Oh my God, this plate armor is even stronger than the infantry armor." When Guo Yu and the three of them saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

However, compared with the surprise of Guo Yu and the others, Zhang Shihua was extremely calm. After all, Guo Yu didn't know about plate armor, but Zhang Shihua, a traverser, knew it clearly, this kind of armor was completely the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.

Even in the seventeenth century in the West, even thermal weapons such as arquebuses and plate armor could effectively resist them, and just by looking at this, you can see how strong the plate armor really is.

Therefore, when Li Wu opened the Divine Arm Crossbow here and prepared for the second armor test, Zhang Shihua asked him to advance ten steps on the basis of sixty steps, and directly asked him to take the Divine Arm Crossbow to test the armor within a range of fifty steps.

The divine arm crossbow can be described as the pinnacle of crossbow arrows in the cold weapon period. This kind of crossbow arrow, within a certain distance, the power of the place where it explodes, is not weaker than the guns of later generations. Therefore, it is impossible for the plate armor to resist the shot of the Divine Arm Crossbow, it will definitely be broken by the Divine Arm Crossbow, but I don't know where his limit is.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua is also extremely curious, what is the limit bearing capacity of plate armor in this era. Therefore, when Li Wu and he raised his crossbow to shoot again, Zhang Shihua and Guo Yu were still paying attention to all this, obviously this new plate armor aroused the curiosity of all of them.

"Boom~~Whoosh~~" The bowstring of the Divine Arm Crossbow made a crisp sound again, and the arrows of the Divine Arm Crossbow also made a sharp cracking sound. Hearing these two voices, Zhang Shihua, Guo Yu, Yang Xitong and others also turned their attention to the plate armor not far away for the first time.

"Bump~~" With a loud sound, a spark sparked on the bright plate armor, but this time, the arrow of the god arm crossbow was not bounced away by the extremely strong plate armor like the last time, but hung on the bright plate armor with some difficulty.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but slowly stand up from his seat, waved his hand and asked a personal guard to carry the plate armor for him.

And when the pro-guard soldier took three steps and two steps, and brought the freshly baked plate armor over, Guo Yu and Yang Xitong and others beside Zhang Shihua couldn't help but come up curiously, obviously they also wanted to see what kind of damage the divine arm crossbow had done to the plate armor within fifty steps.

However, after Guo Yu and the others saw it clearly, these men who were used to seeing battles on the battlefield couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation again. Because the arrow hanging on the plate armor did not cause any substantial damage to the plate armor at all.

The arrow made of stainless steel only makes a small hole in the plate armor, and such a small ** on a person, at most, it is a small cut, and it can't kill a soldier at all.

"Oh my God, this armor is so powerful, looking at the posture, even if it is a sharp weapon like a divine arm crossbow, it can't hurt a soldier wearing this armor within fifty steps!" Seeing this scene, Guo Yu finally couldn't help but sigh like this.

However, hearing Guo Yu's exclamation, Zhang Shihua shook his head and said: "A well-made plate armor can indeed effectively resist the penetration of the front, but the huge impact force still causes the guard plate to deflate and break, and the unobstructed shock wave will also bring serious harm to the human body, which means that fifty steps is the limit of this plate armor." ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, which were all modern terms, Guo Yu couldn't help but scratch his head a little ignorantly, but after that, he also reacted, and echoed Zhang Shihua's words: "Oh! It's like smashing a person with a sledgehammer, even though there is no wound, it can still break a person's bones, break a person's internal organs, and kill a person. ”

Hearing Guo Yu's words, Zhang Shihua looked down at Zhang Shihua in the plate armor, and couldn't help but nod approvingly and said, "Ah Yu is right, that's what it means." However, this plate armor is only made of iron, and if I change it to stronger steel and create a pair of steel armor, I think it will definitely have better defense. ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help patting Yang Xitong's shoulder beside him, and encouraged him with a smile: "Master Yang, you have done a good job this time, just follow this line of thought, I will believe in you, and you will definitely be able to make better things." ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he also bent down to Zhang Shihua and saluted at the first time: "The lower officials and others will live up to the high expectations of the general." ”

Hearing Yang Xitong's words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nodded. Then I saw Zhang Shihua turn to Li Wu and say aloud: "Order, from today onwards, the master craftsman Yang Xitong will be promoted to the third level, and he will be the deputy of our military weapons battalion, and his official position will be four grades, and he will master all the affairs of the military weapons manufacturing and reward him with three hundred taels of gold." ”

"As for the other people involved in the hydraulic forging machine and plate armor manufacturers, they were all promoted to the next level, and they were given three hundred taels of silver."

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked. After all, Zhang Shihua's reward is too heavy, the official is promoted to three levels, the position is the fourth grade, and he is still the deputy of the military battalion and controls all the affairs of the military weapons manufacturing, doesn't this mean that in Zhang Shihua's army, in addition to Zhang Shihua and Zhao Jiu, it is Yang Xitong who has the highest official position.

Such a reward is beyond everyone's imagination.

However, considering the two things made by Yang Xitong, although the generals present were envious in their hearts, there was no unbalanced psychology. Because, as a commander general, they all know very well what these two things made by Yang Xitong can bring to them. Definitely one win after another.

So from this point of view, Zhang Shihua's reward is not difficult to accept, after all, the Huihui person who made the Huihui cannon was made ten thousand households by Kublai Khan.

However, having said that, when a party like Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he still couldn't help but be moved.

Because even he is absolutely unbeatable, Zhang Shihua, a general, is really good to a craftsman like him. Therefore, just after Zhang Shihua finished speaking, Yang Xitong couldn't help but fall to the ground with tears in his eyes, and choked up and thanked Zhang Shihua and said: "Your Excellency General Xie, the lower official will do his best for the general and die." ”

After saying this, Yang Xitong knocked his head on the ground three times.

Seeing Yang Xitong like this, Zhang Shihua also helped Yang Xitong up from the ground with a smile on his face, and after helping him up, he patted Yang Xitong on the shoulder and said to Yang Xitong: "Master Yang doesn't need to be like this, you deserve it." After that, the general also hopes that you can create more glory and create more plate armor and hydraulic forging machines for our army. ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Yang Xitong, who was extremely excited in his heart, didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously. Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod with a smile.
