The armor is simplified by the largest stroke, and is divided into two parts, the front and the back, which are connected by bolts on the left and right shoulders and waist and hips. It is easy to put on and take off, and it can be done independently by a single person.
However, a lot of effort has been put into the ergonomic design, and the stress support points are mainly placed on the shoulders and waist and hips, which do not affect the movement much after wearing, especially the flexibility of the arms.
The characteristics of large-scale industrialization are very simple to manufacture continuously after the design is completed, as long as the mold is customized and stamped directly on the steel plate. It's just that because the mold manufacturing is too troublesome, there is only one specification of the armor, which is reserved for big men who are more than 1.8 meters tall.
Some comrades who are relatively short in stature are not happy, so why should we be discriminated against? Could it be that after going to the battlefield, the enemy only beats the big man, or what? In the face of their noise, Qin Shiqing, who was in charge of operating the hydraulic press, didn't say a word, and directly stuffed the freshly made pair of armor into the arms of a little man who made the most trouble.
With a bang, the kilogram-heavy steel plate armor pressed the kid down on the spot, and Qin Shiqing laughed at this time:
"That's just the weight of the cuirass, and when you turn around, you have to add a helmet of about a kilogram, and you have to add a leather tube skirt about a kilogram to the legs and arms, and at least a kilogram of steel-soled boots...... And that's not even counting weapons. If you think you can afford it, I'd rather arm everyone into a chariot on foot. β
The little ones stopped talking, but now it was the turn of the big and tall men to stretch their faces and be armed, and after the deputy armament, all of these humanoid towers were crushed and screamed, but Tang Jian asked everyone to wear armor and move for at least half an hour. He himself is meters tall, and he also insists on wrapping a piece of steel armor. Take the lead in training, so that everyone next to you has nothing to say.
Of course, the little ones are not completely unprotected, they can't wear full-body armor, and it is still possible to hang a chest guard plate on the chest, and the fixation system of the chest guard plate is to imitate the structure of a mountaineering backpack, with a wide belt through the shoulders and waist to bear the load. Very well designed, Pang Yu tried it on, it felt like moving a hiking bag to his chest, and it was not very difficult to wear it for a long time.
The helmet was given to each person, a full-face mask with face armor. There are many dense observation holes in the face armor, but it doesn't affect the vision much.
This set of equipment was definitely equipped for charging in ancient times, but the traversers mainly used it to protect against long-range strikes! This group of modern people is much more knowledgeable than the ancients. That's the advantage. But they also have shortcomings, they are afraid of death, and Cheng DΓΉ is much higher than the ancients.
After focusing on the protection of the head and torso, in the face of the long-range weapons used by the Ming army, as long as they are not too unlucky, they are generally not easy to die, and everyone's morale has also improved a lot, and they have a little more confidence in the upcoming battle.
In just ten days, Lingao County is in full swing. This group of short-haired bandits who were determined to fight the Ming court to the end were armed and armed in a very short period of time, and a large number of hoplites were armed in a very short time.
But in the eyes of the locals on the outside. The way the shorthairs move is a completely different meaning, and a large number of supplies are moved out of the county warehouse and pulled to the sea. The place occupied by the shorthairs is noisy day and night...... Recently, they have even started distributing salt and rice to the surrounding residents, as well as freshly harvested sweet potatoes! When someone asked the reason, they only said that they had disturbed Sangzi too much a few days ago, and apologized.
Most people won't believe this, but the food and salt sent by the shorthairs are real, and in the eyes of the common people, these shorthairs are probably going crazy again. And in the eyes of those who have a heart. This action is obviously not so simple......
"They're running away?"
As a local county magistrate, Cheng Yegao is of course the most sensitive to the movements of that group of short-haired bandits. He was a reader. Scholars are always smarter, and while the local people are secretly rejoicing that this group of short-haired hairs is finally leaving, Cheng Xianling feels a great crisis.
Everyone has been in a county for so long, Cheng Yegao has already found out the number of short-haired people in this group: one hundred and thirty-nine, and even how many men and girls know. And he believes that the Qiongzhou Mansion must also know that they can send people to the Fucheng to inquire about the news, and of course they can also send people over. In fact, one of the reasons he sent people to the city was to "investigate the enemy's situation", and he also leaked a lot of short-haired land and the real past. In modern terms, he should be considered a double agent.
One hundred to five thousand, Cheng Yegao also thought that these short hairs had no chance, but this made him even more worried that these people had the legendary big iron ship that could automatically move without wind, and they could walk away at any time. But what did he do? The imperial court spent food and salary to send a large army over, and if it can't find the main owner, it is bound to take someone to the top of the cylinder, and then his "rebellious" county lord will undoubtedly become the first culprit. Even if he had the ability to ventilate the news before, it is estimated that it will not be of much use.
The Ming Dynasty has never been soft in dealing with rebel officials, and although it is not like the grandfather who did it at that time, the punishment of Dabi is still inevitable. Last year's disposal of Wei Lingyu's party, I don't know how many officials lost their heads just because they were implicated, although Cheng Yegao was far away in Hainan, he could also feel the fierce spirit from the letters of his colleagues, and he still trembled when he thought of it.
From Cheng Yegao's point of view, if he wants to save his head, the only way to say that this group of short-haired people will surrender to the court is the common point of view reached by him and Master Li after discussing it for a long time.
However, others don't know, but the two of them know that these short hairs are not fools, and they are not interested in the topic of recruiting security a few times before, and now they are under the pressure of the soldiers and say surrender, isn't it a situation where they are slaughtered by others? didn't need to open his mouth to speak, Master Li Changqian concluded that those people would definitely not accept this decision.
Whether it succeeds or not, it is related to his own head, and he always has to give it a try, and in the end, Cheng Yegao still dragged Master Li to visit. As a result, they couldn't even get through the door, and those short-haired people spoke very directly and were about to fight, they had to prepare for war with all their might, and they couldn't receive guests for the time being, please forgive me!
Cheng Li and the two turned around depressedly, Master Li brought glasses and had a good eyesight, and in a hurry, he vaguely saw those short hairs from the crack in the door that seemed to be digging a pit to bury something, and after he went back, he told the owner about this, and the two sighed at the same time, where is this the appearance of preparing for war, is it clear that he wants to escape.
The two Ming literati here looked at each other, and after the other side dealt with them away, they hurried back to the courtyard and continued to listen to Beiwei explain to them how to bury explosives.
Originally, everyone thought that the so-called ambush was nothing more than digging a pit in the road, burying explosives in it, and waiting for the enemy to come and detonate it. But after Beiwei introduced in detail the various ways in which the scouts set up ambushes, everyone realized that there was so much attention to digging pits.
Beiwei does not advocate digging pits on the road, there are often people walking on the road, and the soil must become soft after digging a pit and burying something, which cannot be hidden in any case. A few traps are enough, if you want to ambush an army of several thousand people, the planting range of explosives is hundreds of meters, to say the least, and if you dig up such a long section of road and then bury it, as long as you are not blind, you will definitely be able to see the abnormality. Therefore, the explosives were placed on the side of the road, and not too close to the road. In order to ensure the killing effect, it is necessary to pay attention to the burial method, and firmly place some semi-arc metal plates at a position of more than ten meters on both sides of the road, and face the road with the concave surface. When the explosives explode, the concave metal plate will reflect the explosion energy to the direction of the road, and at the same time carry a large number of broken stone and iron pieces to hit the target together.
"This is the Cremo mine, the prototype of the modern anti-infantry directional mine. The standard anti-infantry directional mine is a reflective steel ball, and the effective killing range can reach 50 meters, and our temporary combination may not reach that far, but 20 or 30 meters is definitely no problem. Enough to cover the road completely. β
Everyone was amazed, you said that this professional does things differently. is also digging pits to harm people, and professionals are really much more vicious.
After calming down, Lao Xie suddenly remembered what happened just now, and couldn't help but smile:
"Brothers, our strategic deception plan seems to have succeeded, and even Lao Cheng thinks we want to escape. Pang Yu, your plan is good! β
The praised architect just smiled faintly:
"Previously, the officials of the Qiongzhou government deliberately let the wind out, obviously trying to scare us and force us to flee on our own initiative. In that case, we will simply do what we plan and give them the illusion that we are going to escape......"
Professor Li also nodded and smiled:
"Yes, people are always inclined to believe what they want to believe. The officials in Qiongzhou had hoped that we would escape, but now it must have increased their confidence. It would be better if they were to rush ahead of time in conditions of poor preparation just thinking about grabbing something. β
