"His Royal Highness the Acting King is wise!" Hira Hiroshi complimented.

"Cotton armor?" The Netherworld Master wondered, he had never seen such armor before.

"Yes, it is a cotton armor made of cotton, the appearance is wet, compressed and dried cotton, and the inside is inlaid with iron armor." Hira pointed to the cotton armor on the puppet.

The Yin Shi Shi lay on top of the puppet, looked at it carefully, compared the depth of the arrows in the two puppets, and found that the defense of the cotton armor was lower than that of the iron armor, and shook his head and said: "Ping Shilang, the quality of your cotton armor is not very good!" ”

Both bows and arrows pierced into the armor, and it was obvious that the iron armor had a higher defensive power than the cotton armor, and the iron armor penetrated into the wood a little shallower.

"General Yin, although the cotton armor is weaker in terms of defense, the cotton armor also has incomparable advantages." Ping Honggui said proudly.

"I want to hear about it!" The Yin World Master said curiously.

"First of all, the first point is that this cotton armor is extremely lightweight, and its weight is only about seven catties?" Ping Honggui turned around and took out two brand-new cotton armors and handed them to Yang Yu and Yin Shishi.

"Seven pounds?" The Yin Master couldn't believe it.

You must know that ordinary armor is about thirty or forty catties, seven catties of armor and thirty or forty catties of armor are not the same level, a soldier can lose thirty catties of burden, that there are too many advantages in marching and fighting.

Yang Yu took the cotton armor, weighed the weight, and nodded involuntarily, it was really light! The weight of seven catties is not much heavier than putting on clothes.

"Even if the cotton armor is light, I'm afraid this one can't surpass the iron armor." Although the Yin Shi Master was surprised by the light weight of the cotton armor, he did not think that the cotton armor had much value. After all, a soldier's defense comes first.

"In addition, the outer cotton clothing of the cotton armor began to be lined with iron sheets, and the outside was fixed with copper nails, which not only enhanced the defense of the cotton armor, but also played a role in keeping warm, which can ensure that the soldiers continue to fight in winter, and the soldiers will no longer have to suffer from the cold in winter in the future." Ping Honggui pointed to the cotton armor and said.

"Really?" The Yin World Master said in surprise.

If cotton armor can solve the problem of keeping soldiers warm in winter, then it doesn't matter if there is a discount in terms of defense.

The Yin Shi Shi has fought all his life, and of course he knows that the biggest problem in winter combat is the weather. Dozens of pounds of iron armor hung on his body. As soon as the wind blows, the whole heart is cold, and as long as the cold iron armor is attached to the skin, it will freeze red after a while. Winter operations. The most common death and injury among soldiers was frostbite and frostbite.

Once the cotton nail was able to overcome the weather problems. Winter operations will not become a disadvantage, but will become a huge advantage for the Guanzhong army, and the Guanzhong army will have an advantage that others cannot match.

After the Netherworld Master personally experimented with a cotton armor. I can't help but be impressed.

Although wearing cotton armor is not as comfortable as a military coat, compared to the bulky iron armor, cotton armor is thousands of times better.

Yin Shishi wore cotton armor and bowed to Yang Yu: "His Royal Highness the Acting King, with this cotton armor, winter combat will become a huge advantage for our army, and the last general will ask His Royal Highness the Acting King to use this cotton armor as our army's winter standard armor." ”

"General, please get up! The advantages of cotton armor have been understood, and I believe that with cotton armor, our army will be invincible in winter operations. Yang Yu nodded and smiled.

"What is the current cost of cotton nails and what is the output?" Yang Yu turned his head to look at Ping Honggui.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qiqi, at present, the weight is lighter, and the cost is much lower than that of iron armor, but it is limited to the amount of cotton, and cotton armor cannot be made on a large scale."

"Then the production of cotton coats will be suspended, and all cotton will be made into cotton armor." Yang Yu said decisively.

Ping Honggui calculated for a while and said, "If all the remaining cotton is made into cotton armor, it can be made into 100,000 pieces." ”

"Okay, 100,000 pieces is 100,000 pieces!" Yang Yu said.

100,000 pieces can represent 100,000 troops, and 100,000 troops are enough to attack a large battle.

"Before the second snow comes, it must be done." Yang Yu commanded.

"Obey your orders!" Hirahiro responded.

At present, Daxingcheng has abundant manpower and material resources, as long as it has raw materials, short-term large-scale production is not a problem.

…………

In Daxing Palace, everyone was stunned and looked at the thunderous duo in front of them.

Yang Yu was wearing a Lei Feng hat and a long cotton coat, his originally thin figure looked unusually bloated, and the guards at the palace gate only knew that it was His Royal Highness the Acting King with wide eyes.

"See His Royal Highness the Acting King!" The guards hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, not letting their expressions show.

"Hmm!" Yang Yu nodded.

Everyone didn't dare to look directly at him, and Yang Yu didn't realize how thunderous his actions were in this era.

"See the general!"

Behind Yang Yu, the gray cotton armor worn by the Yin Shishi still looked like he couldn't put it down, and he didn't have the majestic appearance of the previous general wearing the bright light armor.

A thunderous duo triumphantly crossed the entire Daxing Palace and came to the Chengtian Palace.

"Ugh! See His Royal Highness the Acting King! See General Yin. ”

An official went out to take a look at Yang You, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, his face unusually distorted.

"Hmm!" Yang Yu nodded and continued to walk forward.

It wasn't until they met the distorted expressions of more officials that Yang Yu and the Yin Shishi realized their anomaly.

"Come, one per person! Give it a try, everybody! Yang Yu waved his hand, and immediately a large number of cotton coats were lifted up.

The ministers couldn't laugh anymore, and looked at the cotton coat in a daze.

They were officials of the imperial court, and they usually wore silk and satin, and they wore such ugly clothes there.

However, since His Royal Highness can wear it, there is no reason why they don't want to wear it.

Guyi took the lead and put on a cotton coat, and the other ministers followed suit.

"Huh!" The courtiers immediately discovered the benefits of a cotton coat.

"This thing is unusually warm!" Gu Yi said in amazement.

"That's it!" Other officials also said.

"Whew!" Yang Yu exhaled a breath of heat, took off the Lei Feng hat on his head, and wiped the fine sweat on his head.

"This is the uniform of the military this winter!" Yang Yu said.

"It's just that the production is less, and I'm afraid it can only be used by soldiers on the front line." The Yin World Master said regretfully.

After that, the Yin Shi Master showed the benefits of cotton armor to the ministers.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King is wise, and with this weapon to keep warm, our army will win this battle." Gu Yi said excitedly.

Yang Yu's intention is clear to everyone, that is, to wait until the decisive battle in winter, with the help of cotton clothes and cotton armor, the hope of victory will be greatly increased.

"This battle will be won!" The ministers shouted.

"After all, cotton clothes and armor are all foreign objects, and I hope that all ministers will work together in this battle." Yang Yu looked at the suspended snowflakes and said in a condensed voice.

"Yes!" The ministers saluted.

"Herald Qu Tutong! Let him defend again to ensure that Jiangjun is not lost, and wait for the cold winter to come! Yang Yu gave the third defensive order.

"Yes!"

All the ministers are full of confidence, Daxing City has strong strength, and with the help of cotton clothes and armor, the cold weather will be the biggest help for Guanzhong to win.

The time and place are favorable, and the balance of victory has tilted to Daxing City. (To be continued......)
