Spring goes to summer! The summer of Chongzhen's seventh year began to radiate heat again.\\

In the eastern suburbs of Baishui, the militia training ground was crowded with soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and everyone was happily looking forward to the road to the east. Due to the large number of people, the water in the inner and outer three layers could not be drained, and the temperature was very high, everyone was sweating profusely, but everyone was still very excited, regardless of the heat and sweat, and stared at the east.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Hong, Wang Er, Miao Mei, Xue Hongqi and other leaders sat on the wooden platform, and waited with the soldiers.

"Brothers, we're back!" The soldier on the cart shouted from a long distance: "The things have been brought back!" ”

"Wow, it's back!" The anticipatory soldiers all took a step forward, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued a strict order prohibiting all forms of looting, and these things could only be seen, not touched, and must be distributed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

The military order was like a mountain, and the soldiers had to swallow their saliva and wait.

After a while, the trolley came closer, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and lifted a piece of burlap covered on the trolley, and the things on the cart suddenly saw the light of day, only to see that the car was full of iron helmets, the style of this iron helmet is exactly the same as the iron helmets of officers and soldiers, the round top, both sides can protect the face, and people wear this kind of helmet. Except for a pair of eyes and a mouth, everything else was covered inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to pick up an iron helmet and checked it with his hand, this iron helmet weighed almost three catties, and it was very solid......

Seeing the iron helmet in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, the surrounding soldiers finally couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted indiscriminately: "Wow, helmet!" Iron ...... It's so majestic. ”

"I really want a ...... too"

"Are you a fool? The miscellaneous soldiers of the thirty-second team also want iron helmets? I heard that this batch is only enough for 200 people, and only the elite soldiers of the old first and second teams are qualified, so people like you can only look at ......"

"Oops. Sooner or later, there will be me, isn't Team 32 human? ”

The soldiers were talking and elated.

Wang Er was very excited, and he rushed over with an arrow, staring greedily at the iron helmet in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, but he didn't dare to reach out to take it, because Wang Er was also a member of the army, and he had to obey the military order and didn't dare to rob.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the iron helmet in his hand to Wang Er. Laughing: "Try it!" ”

Wang Er took the helmet and couldn't wait to put it on his head......

"Oops...... Stuck ...... Stuck in the head......" Wang Er exclaimed.

It turned out that his head was too big. This helmet simply can't hold his giant. I stuffed it hard, and my head got stuck.

Yang Hong, Miao Mei, Xue Hongqi and others suddenly fell to the ground laughing: "Second Brother Wang, what kind of trouble are you making?" Get your head out. ”

Ying Shanhong stepped forward and hugged the helmet hard, and the couple worked together to finally pull out their heads, Wang Er had already blushed, and said angrily: "This helmet is too small, and it is not used by people at all." ”

"You have a big head. It's not a head at all. The heroes laughed.

"Gotta order a set for me!" Wang Er jumped to his feet and shouted.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, he took out a huge helmet from the other trolley, and handed it to Wang Er: "Here you go, I thought of it a long time ago, so I asked someone to make one for you, look, there is also a king character engraved on his forehead." ”

Wang Er was overjoyed. Take it and buckle it on the head, this time it's no problem, just right!

However, everyone looked at the "king" on his forehead, and they felt awkward when they looked left and right. In the end, Xue Hongqi laughed in a low voice: "You can't turn around in the mountains while wearing this helmet, beware of being killed by Wu Song." ”

The crowd laughed.

After two hundred helmets, there are two hundred armors, these armors are well-made, each piece is made of thirty catties of pig iron, because there will be wear and tear when building, so the final weight is only about twenty-five catties, but this weight is also terrible, and the soldiers have a great impact on running when they wear them.

After Zhu Yuanzhang counted the numbers, he first asked Li Chujiu to record these armors and helmets as storage, and then said loudly: "The first team and the second team will come over in turn to receive the armor and helmets." ”

"Coax!" There was a shout from the crowd: "Sure enough, it was sent to the old first team and the old second team......"

"Oh, I envy them...... If only I had the old first team......"

Although the soldiers are jealous and envious, everyone is convinced, the old first team and the second team are indeed the elite of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, they have been in the army for the longest time, are the most proficient in martial arts, and have made the most military exploits, who will not give them good things?

Two hundred sets of armor were issued to the soldiers of the old first and second teams in turn, and the faces of these soldiers could not hide their excitement, and they happily put the armor on their bodies one by one.

So the people of the third and fourth teams ran over, and under the pretext of helping the people of the first and second teams put on armor, they reached out and touched their new armor, and had a good time.

"Hey, take your dirty hands away and don't mess around with my armor!" An elite soldier of the old team shouted.

It was a soldier from the old fourth team who helped him put on his armor, and he said a little curtly: "This ...... Elder brother...... Can't you let me touch it twice? Why are you so stingy? ”

"Your dirty hands haven't been washed for a few days, they're covered in mud, what if you get my new armor dirty?" The old team didn't do it.

"Brother, you're an iron armor, won't it be fine if you wipe it when it's dirty?"

"Then you don't know to wipe your hands first?"

"Oops......"

After a while, two hundred sets of iron armor were put on, the so-called people rely on clothes, this put on armor, the momentum of the old first team and the old second team suddenly rose, they themselves felt that this was very powerful, so they whistled, brushed the ground to stand in the array, two hundred people lined up in two small phalanxes, from a distance, it was like a steel jungle, with a heavy pressure.

The soldiers of the third team and the fourth team were affected by them, and they couldn't help but form a formation opposite the old first team and the second team, comparing each other's momentum, this comparison, the difference suddenly appeared, the side with iron armor because of the strong iron armor, so the confidence is very sufficient, and the old third team and the old fourth team who only wear cotton clothes are obviously lacking in momentum, they just see the iron pimple people opposite, and their hearts are panicked.

They stared at each other for a while, and the third and fourth teams retreated to the side, and shouted angrily: "What's the big deal, wait for the next batch of armor to arrive, it's our third team and the fourth team's ......"

At this time, another batch of trolleys arrived, this time it was weapons and shields, all kinds of weapons made of iron, shining with cold cold, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the people of the old first team and the second team to equip the shields, waist knives, bows and arrows, and spears.

In this way, the things they carry are a bit heavy. Three catties of helmets, three catties of waist knives, twenty-five catties of armor, ten catties of shields, more than two catties of quivers, and two or three catties of spear tips and wooden rods, all at once pressed half of the heads of the soldiers of the old first and second teams.

Several veterans gasped: "Wow, Zhu Bugling...... When you have all this set of equipment, it is really heavy. ”

"Yes, Zhu Bugling...... It's too heavy, and we can't chase down the enemy in full suits. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "The heavy infantry was not originally used for chasing and slashing, but was used to advance in formation and roll over the battlefield. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they looked carefully at the outfit on their bodies, and thought about it, this is also true, if they dress like this and walk forward in a row, what can the enemy do against them? Bows, guns, swords, and halberds don't want to penetrate their thick iron armor, and in the face of the advance of the heavy infantry, perhaps the only way is to bombard them with Franc or hit them with firearms. Only the bullets of the fire gun have the power to pierce through twenty-five pounds of armor.

At this time, Wang Er also put on a set of large iron armor specially customized for him, covered his head with an iron helmet, and carried an iron gun made of pure iron weighing sixty pounds in his hand. ”

"Alright, start training!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "From today onwards, the old first team and the second team must wear this set of iron armor when they conduct any training. ”

"What?" The soldiers of the old first team and the second team were all frightened: "Brother Zhu, aren't you joking?" This body is forty or fifty pounds, you want us to train in this thing? ”

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "There are no objections, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”

"Ah......h

Accustomed to wearing a light mandarin duck jacket to wear this thing again, it is really not an ordinary difficulty, walking, waving guns, lining up, doing everything is a beat slower than usual, and a few more steps will be dizzy, limbs are weak, to wear this thing to train all the time, I don't know if it will lose its strength.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care what they were thinking, waved his hand very seriously and said, "I want you to practice until you wear this thing to go over mountains and rivers before you can be qualified." ”

Hearing him say this, the third team and the fourth team, who were still frustrated just now and didn't get the new armor, laughed at the same time: "Hahaha, the first team and the second team, weren't you very dragged just now?" Hahahaha, it's only strange if you're not tired now, hahahaha. ”

"You smug ass...... It's your turn for the next batch. "The old first and second teams immediately counterattacked.

Hearing their words, the third team and the fourth team reacted, and their faces suddenly turned like earth.
