Chapter 132: Armor Piercing (Chapter 4 of the Explosion on the Shelf)

?? Ma Xintian walked to the other haystack with two sets of armor, turned around and asked Wang Huan: "My lord, which one to try first?" ”

Wang Huan thought for a moment and replied, "Try the iron armor first." ”

Ma Xintian obeyed the order to drape the set of mountain armor peeled off from Niu Sicheng's body on the haystack, the haystack was not big, and the mountain armor was too heavy, so Ma Xintian could only tie the cuirass to it.

Shanwen armor is made of stainless steel, by a piece of iron armor leaves staggered together to form a piece of armor, the iron blades are tightly combined, the style is beautiful and generous, the protective function of the wearer is very strong, the thickness of the iron blades reaches two millimeters, the protective ability is close to the plate armor of the West, it is an extremely outstanding kind of ancient Chinese armor, but correspondingly, this armor is very heavy, compared to the armor such as chain mail, the weight is much larger.

Zu Bian was still standing fifty paces away, skillfully operating the bird to load and reload the medicine, and after finishing it, he stood up steadily, aimed at the mountain armor on the haystack and fired a shot.

"Bang!" Smoke rose and the lead bullet hit the breastplate accurately, causing the armor to shake on the haystack but not fall.

Wang Huan and the others rushed over, took off the nail block to check, and saw that there was a clear imprint on the nail leaf in the middle of the breastplate, and the projectile left a faint depression in the nail leaf, but it did not penetrate it.

"It seems that at a distance of fifty paces, an arquebus of eleven millimeters caliber cannot penetrate iron armor more than two millimeters thick." Wang Huan had a plan in his heart.

He asked Zu Bian to continue shooting at the Shanwen armor on the haystack, gradually shortening the distance, firing a shot every ten paces, and then checking the shooting effect.

Zubian fired two more shots, and it was not until he was close to thirty paces that the arquebus barely penetrated the Shanwen armor, making a small hole in the iron armor leaf, but it could not penetrate the other side.

Wang Huan took the armor block, looked at the small hole that his little fingers couldn't penetrate, and frowned: "Ancestral side, the power of the bird system, is it all like this?" ”

Zu Bian blinked, and said a little unanswered: "Yes, why, don't adults think that this power is not enough?" ”

Wang Huan shook his head, handed the armor to the handyman on the side, and said, "Let's try it with our rattan armor." ”

Zu Bian smiled, and carried the bird in his hand to his shoulder: "My lord, the rattan armor must not be as good as the iron armor, the rattan armor is better than the iron armor, and the protection is much better than the iron armor under the same weight, but the defeat is also defeated in the light weight, if the rattan armor wants to achieve the protective effect of the iron armor, it must be superimposed on multiple layers, but the rattan armor is so thick, let alone multiple layers, overlapping two pieces will wrap people like a zongzi, and they can't move at all, how can they fight." ”

Wang Huan was noncommittal, but said: "Don't jump to conclusions first, try it." ”

With that, he got up and walked to the firing position, Zu Bian pouted and followed with a gun.

The handyman took off the mountain armor from the haystack and replaced it with a rattan armor, which was still tied firmly with a rope, and then hurried away.

Zu Bian still stood fifty paces away, as if he had just tried the iron armor, he began to test, he loaded and ignited, and under the gaze of Wang Huan and Ma Xintian, he fired a shot at the target.

In a flash of firelight, a burst of debris rose from the front of the vine armor on the haystack fifty paces away, and you didn't need to get close to see that the lead bullet fired by this shot made a hole that was visible to the naked eye from a long distance.

Zu blew the smoke from the bird's mouth, shook his head and said, "My lord, what I said is good, right?" I'm willing to bet that even with a layer of rattan armor, the bird will be able to penetrate it. ”

"Oh?" Wang Huan smiled: "So confident? ”

"Hehe, that's nature, the end of the bird will know the severity, back then in Liaodong, the Tartars wore cotton armor at a distance of fifty paces, and they were beaten into a sieve." Zubian boasted.

"How about we make a bet?" Wang Huan said: "If you can't shoot through the next shot, go up the mountain to catch a few wild animals and drink tonight." ”

"Okay, no problem." Zubian cowhide coaxed: "My lord, what if I win?" ”

"Then the birds are yours." Wang Huan said generously.

"Good! My lord, the gentleman has made a word, and the four horses are difficult to chase. Zubian was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Huan's words: "Hehe, I'm going to decide on this bird." ”

Ma Xintian looked at the hole on the rattan armor from afar, listening to the conversation between the two, and his face was also worried, the rattan armor is the only armor that can be provided in large quantities in Wanshou Valley at present, this armor is light and flexible, and can prevent knives and spears, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, very practical, but now it seems that the protection effect of the bird system is very poor, which is not easy to do.

Wang Huan's face did not change, as if the effect of this shot was as he expected, he finished the bet with Zu Bian, and did not bother to run over to see how big the hole was, and directly ordered the miscellaneous servants: "Change a piece of armor and cover it with a fire cloth." ”

After a pause, he said, "Take that set of cloth armor made of fire cloth and use it to cover the rattan armor." ”

The handyman agreed, and ran to change his armor.

When Zu Bian heard Wang Huan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look: "Bu Jia?" My lord, what cloth armor? ”

Wang Huan replied briefly: "The cloth armor made of Huohuan cloth, don't ask now, you'll find out later." ”

Zu Bian scratched his head, dazed, so he threw an inquiring look at Ma Xintian, Ma Xintian was indifferent, with an expression of not knowing anything and not saying anything, which made Zu Bian even more confused.

After a while, the handyman trotted to bring what Wang Huan said, and when Zubian stretched out his head to look at it, he felt that it was a robe similar to the fire cloth robe worn by the soldiers in peacetime, but the difference was that it seemed to be much thicker.

The handyman replaced the armor piece on the haystack with a new one, and then covered it with a white robe, and the haystack suddenly became larger, like a thin man suddenly becoming a fat man.

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian were a little surprised, this burqa seemed to be not just a little thicker, but at least several times thicker, I don't know if it was a multi-layer fire cloth sewn and superimposed or something added in the middle.

Wang Huan and the other miscellaneous servants ran away, and briefly ordered Zu Bian: "Come again." ”

Zubian was inexplicably a little pressured, and the fat haystack seemed to be a little weird, he hesitated, peeked at Wang Huan, and saw that he was engrossed in looking at the haystack and waiting for the gunshot, so he quietly put a little more gunpowder into the system.

He knew very well the quality of the fire system in his hand, and the extra gunpowder would not lead to an explosion.

He used a little extra strength to compact the projectile with the bar, then quietly moved two steps forward, picked up the bird, aimed at the huge target, and pulled the trigger.

Gunshots rang out, and fires flashed.

The target fifty paces away did not move, and did not shake for a moment.

Ma Xintian looked sideways at Zubian.

Zu Bian's eyes widened, and he looked at the target incredulously, and then at the bird system in his hand.

Missed? Didn't hit?

It's impossible, it's obviously very accurate, so big and white, two or three times bigger than the haystack just now, how can it miss.

Sweat came out of Zubian's head, this time his face was embarrassed, he was actually on target, where did the face of the veteran in Liaodong go?

He touched his head, laughed embarrassedly, and hurriedly lowered his head to grab the medicine and reload, while explaining non-stop: "Eh, I was distracted just now, I didn't hit, come again." ”

A hand reached over and pressed down the bird that he had erected to fill the gunpowder into the mouth.

Zu Bian looked up in amazement, but saw that Wang Huan had changed his frowning and sad appearance, and said with a smile on his face: "What didn't you hit?" Let's go over and have a look. ”

Looking at Wang Huan's expression, Zu Bian was stunned, what? What did you look at if you didn't hit the past?

He didn't understand, watching Wang Huan walk towards the target quickly, he was stunned, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that this shot hit, but the target didn't move.

What does this mean?
