Zhuge Liang got the full mandate much earlier than Li Bin, and Wang Yu delegated power very thoroughly, even Zhuge Liang himself was surprised, how could this lord be so relieved of himself? I often can't find anyone when I want to report the progress to him, and when I find someone, the other party also looks very impatient.

"I said, lord, isn't it just a pair of armor? Do you want to go over and over again? Aren't all craftsmen ready to go? In the future, there will be no armor yet? ”

Wang Yu's obsession with armor made Zhuge Liang very puzzled, that kind of dead thing and the regulations and regulations in his hands are completely incomparable. At most, the former is only a little useful in the battle array, but the latter is related to the foundation of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, which is more important?

At this moment, the remorse in Zhuge Liang's heart became stronger and stronger, he regretted it, he was accidentally deceived for a while, and he got on this thief ship, and he couldn't get off even if he wanted to.

"Stop speaking in layman's terms, Kong Ming!" When Wang Yu heard this, he was anxious, stood up, held the armor under Zhuge Liang's nose, and said loudly in pain: "Is this an ordinary armor?" Look at it, this is clearly plate armor, plate armor! Who said that our Chinese ancestors were fine? ”

"......" Zhuge Liang was speechless. What plate armor is not plate armor, after all, it is not armor? As for the ancestors of Huaxia...... Did someone say that they weren't great?

How did he know that Wang Yu's heartache came from two thousand years later?

"This is plate armor, no wonder the Que family's armor is faster than others, and the quality is stronger than ordinary ones." Wang Yu touched the armor and spoke with a look as if he was caressing the skin of his beloved woman......

Zhuge Liang didn't know how he could make such a strange analogy, but this feeling did give him goosebumps.

However, Zhao Yun and the others on the side didn't care, although the expression on their faces was not as exaggerated as Wang Yu, they were also very encouraging. From Wang Yu's mouth. In a series of experiments carried out successively, the generals have learned about this slightly unusual shape of the armor.

The plate armor that Wang Yu mentioned is very different from the popular fish scale armor and piercing armor in the army, but it is somewhat similar to the Mingguang armor.

Fish scale armor is made of scaly iron sheets, and among all armors, the defense power is the first, and the difficulty and cost of casting are also the first; The principle of the armor is similar to that of the fish scale armor, which is made of strips of iron bundled together, and the cost and defense are relatively poor. It is the most commonly equipped iron armor.

The Bright Light Armor is a variant of the fish scale armor, and its main feature is a large round or oval deck on the chest and back, which is polished and has a dazzling reflection in the sun, like a mirror. Wear bright light armor on the battlefield. Due to the sun's irradiation, it will emit a dazzling "bright light", hence the name.

The armor of the Que family is quite similar to the Mingguang armor, but it is more thorough than the Mingguang armor, and it is connected by a patchwork of decks. The upper body is two pieces in front and back, which are connected by rope binding on the side of the body; Then arm guards, leg guards, cross guards, and neck guards. It's all the same pattern.

This kind of armor, which Wang Yu called plate armor, is also not as strong as fish scale armor. The latter is stacked with scales, and the attacking weapon must penetrate at least two or three layers of armor before it can hurt the person wearing the armor. Aside from the fact that it is too expensive to cast armor and heavier in weight, there are few other drawbacks.

However, the defense of plate armor is stronger than that of razor armor. The latter is made of iron sheets, and the defensive power of the armor is no worse than that of plate armor. However, there are gaps between the armor pieces, and the defense is reduced as a result. However, the weight of the piercing armor is lower than that of the plate armor.

As for the Mingguang armor. This armor is specially intended for generals, and no one on the base will be installed in the army, so there is no point in comparison.

In general, the performance of plate armor is between fish scale armor and piercing armor, but the cost of casting is not much less than that of fish scale armor. The Que family's technology inheritance is a thousand years ago, and they have hidden the technology very tightly for thousands of years, and while not knowing it to the outside world, they have also somewhat derailed from the outside world, and the result is that the technology of the year has been almost completely preserved.

Pure plate armor could not arouse the interest of Zhao Yun and others, but Wang Yu said that as long as someone could create this kind of armor, he would have a way to improve the process, so that the casting of this armor would be more trouble-free and labor-saving than that of the armor.

That's amazing!

As a military general, who doesn't like a strong soldier? Everyone knows that it's easier to win, so why can't it? It's just a matter of cost. Iron is a very precious material, it is not easy to refine, and it is more expensive to cast iron into armor.

Even in the current Qingzhou, there are only two real heavy troops, Wang Yu's Flame Iron Cavalry and Xu Huang's Destroying Battalion. It's not that Wang Yu doesn't want to expand the coverage of the iron armor, the problem is that he can't do it, and the cost of doing so is too great.

If the manufacturing process of plate armor can really be improved to what Wang Yu said, then in less than three years, the armor loading rate in Qingzhou will inevitably increase several times, and it will not be difficult to build an ironclad army of 10,000 people.

Before the battle of Maling, everyone heard that Que Xuan had 2,000 armor soldiers, and all of them changed color. It's exciting to think about!

As for how to improve the process, then no one cares, anyway, the lord said that he can, so is there anything to doubt?

"Ahem, lord, it's better to put the iron armor thing first."

Zhuge Liang interrupted everyone's imagination and said: "The problem now is that Que Xuan has already entered the game, but for other heroes, the so-called contribution is not attractive enough." It's just a title, and it's still a false name, it can't be hereditary, and there is no fiefdom, and it can't be exempted...... What's the use of that? What about the benefits you say? ”

"There will be benefits, Kong Ming, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Que Xuan is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Wang Yutou replied without replying.

Zhuge Liang stomped his feet and said hatefully: "It's not that Liang is in a hurry, the plan is going so smoothly, isn't it what you said, if there is hope, try to reap all the credits?" ”

"I know, but ......" Wang Yu finally turned around and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Now the benefits can't be realized, it's just a joke to say it, you still have to think of a way, under the current conditions, do your best." ”

"Can't cash it out? Laughing at people? Zhuge Liang frowned, thoughtful, for a moment, he smashed his right hand on the palm of his left hand, and said in a lost voice: "Lord, your benefit will not be the so-called overseas development, right?" ”

Wang Yu laughed and said, "Kong Ming is really smart, you guessed it." ”

"This, this ......" Zhuge Liang understood why the teacher often said that although this lord is amazing, it often makes people cry and laugh.

The so-called overseas development is a joke in the eyes of the world, and if this is included in the benefits, I really don't know how much ridicule it will provoke. Anyway, the new deal must not include this article in advance, otherwise Qingzhou's credibility will immediately drop sharply, and Xuzhou will become completely empty.

After a few sighs, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of another thing: "You sent the prisoners of the Taishan thieves to Donglai before, and then asked Que for his soldiers, wouldn't it be ......?"

"yes." Wang Yu admitted calmly: "Seeing that the time is almost up, with Ziyi's temper, let him stay honestly and still, it is not an ordinary difficulty, now, presumably Sanhan is already full of smoke, it is estimated that Ziyi will need reinforcements soon, the peninsula is mountainous, isn't it right to send bandit soldiers to him?" ”

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and was completely speechless.

There are only more than 200 people around Tai Shici, and the bandits are more than ten times as many as them, so send the bandits to him as reinforcements, is this harming him, or helping him? This overseas development plan is really getting more and more ridiculous. There are also Que Xuan's soldiers, who are all believers, and they are the kind of people who are more fanatical in their beliefs, let them go overseas? What can it be used for?

Or the teacher is right, sometimes, the boss's chaotic life can't be ignored, and he will do it according to the normal routine first. Zhuge Liang began to think about how to use the existing conditions to make good use of the breakthrough of Que Xuan.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression in his eyes, Wang Yu's thoughts about the young man are also insightful.

However, the most suitable source for the so-called overseas development is not the regular army, but criminals and believers, which has been verified in history, but is not their own originality.

The bandits captured in Fulong Valley are all long-standing bandits, and their banditry nature has gone deep into their bone marrow, so it is not suitable for them to do anything, and they have to be careful to escape. It's easy to kill, but after all, they are also Han people, and Wang Yu has no psychological barriers to slaughtering foreign races, but he can't do anything to Han people, even if they are criminals.

Just let them go to sea, anyway, when they go overseas, there are no boats, they have nowhere to run if they want to, although there are not many people around Tai Shici, and he is not good at scheming, but he is a famous general of the ancient times after all, and it is not easy to control thousands of bandits?

When the bandits were told to come back in the colonial war, they refused to come back. The word colonization is accompanied by bloodshed and barbarism, and it is really appropriate to let the bandits take the lead and the powerful follow up in a big way.

It's just that the reason for this is not enough for outsiders, Wang Yu can only make a fortune in a muffled voice, anyway, there will always be a day when the water will come out, and then I am afraid that the heroes will not rush to it?

"Lord, lord......" Zhuge Liang was about to leave, but collided with Pang Tong who came in a hurry at the door.

He rubbed his aching forehead and asked in surprise, "Brother Shiyuan?" What are you...... Got a military intelligence? ”

Pang Tong wanted to help Zhuge Liang at first, but the latter was very diligent and independent, so Pang Tong couldn't get involved, so he simply asked Wang Yu for the errand of the counselor's military aircraft. He hurried over, apparently in a hurry.

"Exactly." Pang Tong nodded to his friend, turned to Wang Yu, and said solemnly: "Lord, a letter from Qi County, Liu Bei's army has arrived in Pei County, and it is facing off against the Taishan army across the water!" ”
