Wei Feng waved his hand indifferently: "It's up to you, but I have to remind you that if you give up this time, the next expedition to the northern Hulu will not know that it will be the Year of the Monkey, and the destruction of the capital is even more far away, in short, within three or five years, this is the only chance, so you have to think about it." ”

"That's, that's!" Zhang Ning sneered and said, "The last general didn't say no, you have to see how the goods are first, right?" ”

Deng Yi was a little surprised, this was not entirely due to Wei Feng's relaxed style, but more because of the casualness of talking with the generals.

Li Zhu seemed to guess his thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "General Deng, but it's strange? The general is very strict in training and combat, but he never puts on a show in peacetime, even in the face of the most ordinary soldiers, he talks like a brother and friend, it is not surprising if you see too much, by the way, everyone in our army is brought out by the general. ”

Deng Yi nodded, and his heart was inexplicably moved, if you want to say that sharing weal and butter with the soldiers and mingling together, it is easier said than done, or it is easy to persevere a few times once in a while, there is only one Wu Qi in history, and other good generals are either resourceful to win, or famous for being harsh, and suddenly, he somewhat understands why Wei Feng will pull up an elite division in just three years!

Deng Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look, he wanted to see the truest side of this army, the seaside was still in full swing, the goods and horses were transported ashore in an orderly manner, the soldiers were eating and resting in batches under the command of their respective generals, almost no one looked at this side, occasionally, except for a trace of imperceptible reverence, the gaze was also plain and natural.

This made Deng Yi compare himself with his own 5,000 soldiers. When he was secretly thinking about it, his heart moved, and he found something inappropriate, so he reminded: "Envoy, your sergeants should be wearing iron armor, iron armor is good, but it is not suitable for the hot and humid environment of Lingnan, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it after wearing it for a long time, and the iron armor is very easy to rust when used in the rain for a long time, and it will bring adverse effects when facing the war!" ”

"Oh?" Xie Gongyi took it and said, "General Deng is reasonable. But if you don't wear armor, do you fight the enemy naked? ”

Deng Yi smiled slightly: "The people of Linyi take more old vines in the mountains to weave rattan armor. Although it is not as difficult to hurt as the Nanban rattan armor encountered by Zhuge Wuhou of the Shu Han Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, it is also strong and abnormal, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are afraid of fire attacks. For this reason. Let's send the state garrison to bamboo pieces to weave armor. Lightweight, cool, and cheap! ”

Li Zhu asked, "How is the effect?" ”

Deng Yi said honestly: "The defensive effect against stabbing and arrows is extremely strong, and generally the armor is broken when it is stabbed." It is rare to be able to kill people with one blow, but the anti-chopping aspect is relatively weak, but fortunately, the smelting skills of Lin Yi Country are relatively backward and cannot make sharp knives, so it is enough to fight with bamboo armor! ”

This reminds Wei Feng of an article about the physical properties of bamboo that he read in his previous life, bamboo fiber has the advantages of high strength, good elasticity, small density, and specific strength greater than steel, that is, high tensile and compressive strength, on the other hand, the cross-section of bamboo is annular, and the outer bending surface is compressed by the inner bend surface when it is tensile, which has strong bending stiffness, and finally the outer ring hoop and the internal transverse partition at the bamboo section can increase the bearing area, and can also improve the lateral bearing capacity of the bamboo, so the bamboo armor has a natural advantage in the defense against stabbing attacks!

But this is all theoretical data, and it needs to be seen to be believing!

Wei Feng turned his head and asked, "General Deng, I don't know if you have bamboo armor in your army?" Can you take a look at this? ”

Deng Yi said without hesitation: "The general can send someone to the last general's camp to fetch it directly." As he spoke, he took out a token and handed it to Wei Feng.

Wei Feng took the token and handed it to a personal guard: "Go and go back quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The guards saluted and hurried away.

About a moment or so, the guard took a piece of bamboo armor back, the style and sleeve armor are roughly the same, all of them are wrapped around the whole body to protect the upper arm, the skirt of the hem protects the part above the knee, the whole piece is made of armor pieces, the color is not green, but dark yellow, obviously made of old bamboo.

After Wei Feng fiddled with it, he handed it to the guards and said, "Hang it far away, and hang a pair of Mingguang armor on the side!" ”

"Yes!" The guard immediately ran into the distance, and in a short time, two stands were erected a hundred paces away, and under the light of the torches, one could be seen hanging with a pair of Mingguang armor, and the other was hanging with this pair of bamboo armor.

'Is it a crossbow to shoot?' Deng Yi's eyes were secretly surprised, you must know that the distance of a hundred steps is already very far, even if the crossbow can be aimed at the mountain, it may not be able to shoot, otherwise, Yang Youji will not go down in history because of a hundred steps through Yang, but what shocked him is that the personal guard handed Wei Feng not a crossbow, but a bow!

As a target, although the armor is larger than the leaves, but considering that archery is not only accurate, but also extremely important, the strength is insufficient, and the armor cannot be pierced at all, and this is still night, and the erratic firelight will play a certain role in interference!

Deng Yi looked at the bow in Wei Feng's hand again, the bow body was thick and big, and the bowstring was obviously twisted with a few strands of tendons, in his impression, this was clearly a five-stone bow!

Deng Yi was really shocked, he was very skeptical that Wei Feng's thin and small body could move the five-stone bow? If he was on his own, he could only barely pull away, and as for whether he could shoot the arrow, it was uncertain.

Deng Yi stared at Wei Feng intently, only to see Wei Feng pull out a feather arrow and put it on, slowly opening the bowstring, although the speed was not fast, but it was extremely stable, and after a few breaths, it was already a full moon, and he didn't see Wei Feng deliberately aiming, so he heard "Hum!" With a muffled sound, accompanied by a piercing scream, the bright light armor in front of him swayed violently, and then looked closely, there was a small hole in the heart protection bronze mirror!

Did you shoot through? Deng Yi's eyes were about to fall out of his sockets, and he praised sincerely: "Make you good at archery, and the end will be happy and convinced!" ”

"General Deng has won the award!" Wei Feng said politely casually, and for the second time, he took the arrow and shot towards the bamboo armor!

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, in the same position as the Mingguang armor, the bamboo armor was hit by an arrow, unlike before, this time it was not shot through, the arrow only entered the bamboo piece, and the arrow shaft was still shaking violently.

The guards hurriedly took the two pairs of armor, because the performance of the bamboo armor had been predicted, Deng Yi's attention was more attracted by the breach of the Mingguang armor, and Wei Feng and the others all studied the bamboo armor, although the arrow shot through the bamboo armor, but only about two inches, obviously such a depth is not enough to kill, and around the crack, there is a circle of radioactive cracks, which makes the onlookers praise continuously, obviously, the ability of the bamboo armor to resist stabbing is far stronger than the Mingguang armor!

Wei Feng also nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Place it fifty steps, you shoot again!" ”

"Yes!" One of the guards took the bamboo armor away and hung it on the wooden frame that was moved closer, and the other guard raised the ordinary two-stone bow and shot the arrow, but this time, the arrow bounced away, but it didn't shoot in!

The guard who shot the arrow suddenly turned red, but Deng Yi gasped, Wei Feng, as the main general, can hit the target at a distance of 100 steps, and can barely understand that the main general should be stronger than ordinary soldiers, and although this personal guard only shot fifty steps, but the position of the hit is next to the broken bamboo armor, you know, there is no rank mark on his body, it is obvious that he is just an ordinary pro-army!

Deng Yi doesn't think it's a fluke, an ordinary pro-soldier can shoot fifty steps, what does this show? It shows the individual combat ability of the Weifeng Army! Strong personal ability, coupled with good organizational discipline, fighting with such an army is a nightmare for anyone! As for not shooting through the bamboo armor but only shattering, Deng Yi knew that this was due to the mastery of strength, or the difference between the bamboo pieces, and it did not mean that the strength was insufficient!

Deng Yi felt that Wei Feng's arrival subverted his worldview, broadened his horizons, and even gave birth to a trace of frustration!

Is the imperial court's army really that strong? Is the world-famous Beifu Army stronger? Or galloping through the Central Plains, the northern Hu cavalry that took away half of the Jin Dynasty has to be stronger?

Deng Yi's eyes gradually showed confusion, but Wei Feng proposed: "General Deng, I will have a reluctant request, if you don't like it, I am willing to eat and live with the 5,000 troops under your command, train together for a month, and learn some combat essentials in the high temperature and high humidity environment in the south, I don't know if General Deng can succeed?" ”

"Oh?" Deng Yi was overjoyed, Wei Feng learned from him, but for him, this was not a good opportunity to learn Wei Feng's experience in governing the army and training the army!

After the big joy, Deng Yi shook slightly, he understood that the good thing he got from it was obviously greater than Wei Feng's, for advanced training methods and tactical guiding ideology, who is not a broomstick? Relatively speaking, the special environment of the south can be slowly adapted!

Deng Yi is not a fool, he quickly guessed Wei Feng's intentions, and it is true to learn from himself, but I am afraid that he still has the intention of pointing out himself, but it will inevitably hurt people's face when he says it, so he uses a roundabout way!

Since I had only met him on the first day, he put his heart into his heart, what a big heart!

As for whether Wei Feng will take the opportunity to annex his own troops, Deng Yi is not worried, it is nothing more than a month of intensive training, he does not believe that Wei Feng can squeeze himself out in such a short period of time, this is roughly similar to the Beifu Army, if the court wants to drive the Beifu Army, it must pass through Liu Gaozhi, and Deng Yi's personnel are all natives of Jiaozhou, it is difficult to serve outsiders!

'He treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman!' 'Uncontrolled, a heart of death for those who know what is already alive arises!

Deng Yi was still stunned, and Wei Feng waved his hand in understanding: "General Deng, the general is just making a suggestion, if you have difficulties, you are not reluctant, you can do it yourself, don't take it to heart!" ”

Deng Yi didn't hesitate any longer, respectfully made a military salute, and said solemnly: "The last general is arranged by the envoy!" ”

"Good!" Wei Feng laughed and helped Deng Yi up, Deng Yi also burst into a burst of hearty laughter, the two laughed relatively loudly, and didn't say much, everything was in a word! (To be continued......)
