Chapter 25: Preparations for Departure (II)

"That's right!" Hearing this, Wang Fei was so excited that he slapped his thigh suddenly. "Why didn't I think of such a great opportunity!"

But then he forced himself to calm down, frowned and asked, "What is the third brother's thoughts?" What should we do? It's just that his voice still can't hide the excitement.

Hearing this, Wang Xu also smiled slightly: "Now I can't say clearly, I have to look at the actual situation to make a conclusion." But one thing is certain, when the time comes, it will definitely not be a small fight, and he may have to participate in a large-scale battle, so the second brother must be mentally prepared. ”

"Don't worry! Although it was my first time on the battlefield, I still had this common sense. After speaking, Wang Fei couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Haha! After practicing martial arts for so many years, today I can finally show my skills! ”

Seeing Wang Fei's confident and murderous appearance, Wang Xu couldn't help but remind: "Second brother, you always care about martial arts, but reading is also very important, why don't you listen to my advice?" ”

In fact, Wang Fei is very smart, but he just doesn't like to read. The limited number of military books was also read by Wang Xu after repeated requests, which was extremely unfavorable to Wang Fei's future development. However, Wang Xu can't say what Wang Fei's future will be. This kind of thing can only be known by practice. After all, some people are really not suitable for studying, but they can grow up quickly in actual combat, which is not uncommon in history.

But seeing that his face was full of bitterness when he heard that he wanted him to study, Wang Xu knew that Wang Fei didn't listen to what he said at all. didn't say more, turned his head to look at Xu Shu, and after a long silence, he said lightly: "Xu Shu, do you still decide to go out with you?" I really don't want you to go! ”

But Xu Shu didn't plan to give him face at all. Although Wang Fei was also beside him at this moment, he immediately shook his head extremely firmly and said: "No matter what you say about this matter, there is no need to discuss, I must go, whether you agree or not!" After speaking, his eyes looked at Wang Xu without fear.

Seeing that the two of them were frozen on this issue, Wang Fei also frowned and thought about it, but he opened his mouth to persuade: "Third brother! Xu Shu is a different woman, I don't think you should stop her, just let her go! Besides, her martial arts are better than mine, not only is she familiar with the art of war, but her mind is also delicate, there shouldn't be any big problems, and you don't have to worry too much. Maybe I can give you some suggestions at a critical time, which will make a big difference! ”

Hearing that Wang Fei also persuaded himself, Wang Xu sighed secretly. After weighing it carefully, he could only look at Xu Shu helplessly and said, "You, you're always so tough." Alas! Forget it, just go! Even the second brother helped you speak, and now you are more useful than me in talking! ”

Wang Xu is not completely joking at all, over the years, Xu Shu's appearance has made everyone who knows the inside story feel that she will definitely be Wang Xu's virtuous helper in the future. Even Wang Xu himself thought so in his heart.

After all, Xu Shu can be said to be the person who is most qualified to grasp the direction of history besides him, and the only person who can make Wang Xu open his heart without reservation. What's more, Xu Shu has never stopped her own learning, and she is constantly chasing his footsteps. Therefore, of course Wang Xu knew that what Wang Fei said was the truth, he was just very worried about Xu Shu's safety and didn't want the other party to be in danger. For Wang Xu, Xu Shu is the most important thing in his heart!

With Wang Xu's approval, Xu Shu winked at him defiantly as if he had won a big victory, and Wang Xu could only smile bitterly. "That's it! Now that we've decided, let's not sit around here. Xu Shu and I are going to visit our mother and aunt, after all, we don't know when we will see each other again. However, don't talk about these things to them for now, it's better to wait for your uncle and uncle to talk about them. Now I know that in addition to increasing my worries, I also lost time. Tomorrow morning we have to leave and we have to rush to the manor outside the city as much as possible, there is a lot of preparation to be done. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu turned around and asked Wang Feidao: "Second brother, what about you?" Are you going to say goodbye to your uncle and aunt? ”

"Oh! When I went back just now, I had already expected that I had already said goodbye to my mother in advance. Father's place is not needed, I better go to the manor to arrange it first, I will leave tomorrow morning, I am afraid that I will leave too hastily by then. ”

Wang Xu thought about it and couldn't help nodding: "Okay!" That's troublesome second brother, we will come over soon. ”

"Well, without further ado, let's do it now!" Wang Fei is that kind of character, as soon as the matter is finished, he immediately stands up and leaves.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xu and Xu Shu also went separately to say a brief goodbye to their families, only saying that they were going to go to the manor outside the city to play for a few days, which was not too cumbersome, but they were nagged by their mother and aunt to pay attention to the cold and something.

Half an hour later, Wang Xu, who had finished doing a qiē, hurried to the hut of the Martial Academy, which was specially used to place weapons and various utensils. Since preparations have been made for the Yellow Turban Uprising for a long time, the equipment tailored for Wang Xu is also here.

A set of silvery-white iron fish scale armor, copper was also added to the corners for the sake of beauty, so some areas were golden. This was built according to Wang Xu's requirements, but it was only barely acceptable to him.

According to the idea in Wang Xu's mind, such armor is far from his requirements in terms of protection and beauty. But he also knew that this was already a relatively advanced armor at present.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, bronze armor was the mainstream. It was only after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the technology of the iron armor matured and completely replaced the bronze armor. Of course, no matter what time it was, leather armor was still in use, because it was light and dexterous, and had good protection, so it has always been the main equipment of light troops.

Later, the Persian advanced fish scale armor was transmitted to the Central Plains through the Silk Road, and the Han Dynasty's armor technology began to gradually transition to the fish scale armor. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there were very few appearances of Zajia. Fish scale armor has always occupied a major position and has been constantly improved. Chain mail was also transmitted from the West at this time, and it was called ring lock armor in the Han Dynasty, but its manufacturing process was complicated, and the technology at this time was not mature, so it was not widely used.

Until the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and the Wei and Jin dynasties, years of war stimulated the innovation of military technology, and finally more excellent cuff armor, two-crotch armor and Mingguang armor appeared, etc., Cao Zhi's "First Emperor Bestows Ministers Armor Table" recorded these armors.

Therefore, the fish scale armor is now considered a relatively advanced equipment, and Wang Xu can only use it first. He thought that when the time came in the future, he would definitely combine the advantages of Eastern and Western armor in later generations to create a more perfect armor.

The full-body armor of the late Western period has strong protection, but unfortunately it is too bulky. He didn't want to repeat the nightmare of the hoplites in the Battle of Agincourt. The armor of the East is light and flexible, and it is more practical to use on the ever-changing battlefield, but the protection is relatively poor, so you must try to win the strengths of all parties.
