A group of Wei Wushu straightened their waists and saluted: "I've seen Wu Shuai!" ”

Wu Qi bowed slightly, and after examining it, he said, "Xin Su, Zhao Hanzhang, you two are out of line, and the rest of you continue to patrol." ”

After the Wei Wushu team had saluted Wu Qi, they continued their patrol, leaving only two people in place.

"Xin Su, good at using short knives, it's best to fight in close combat, the first thirty-two enemies in the tent, after this battle, you should be promoted to the chief." Wu Qi asked.

The tall thin man named Xin Su bowed down and said, "The general is falsely praised, he has no great talent in his humble position, and he can't afford the position of tun chief. ”

Thirty-two of the enemy's heads were collected in the tent and put them in other armies, and no matter how bad they were, they could be replaced by a deputy thousand households, but in Wei Wu's pawn, he was only a chief.

Wu Qi looked at another person again: "Zhao Hanzhang, some people in the army call you a 'madman', after going into battle, you are like a madman, with one enemy and one hundred?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang touched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know who said bad things about my position......

Wu Qi smiled and said to the two: "You two are good, Ben Shuai has a task for you this time." ”

"Wu Shuai, please say, even if the two of us die, we will do our best."

Wu Qi nodded, pointed to the barracks, and said, "The one who lives here is the future Princess Qi of our palace. ”

The two soldiers who killed the enemy on the battlefield were stunned: "Huh? ”

"I haven't heard of it, there is a princess in our palace."

"In the future, you two will guard the outside of this barracks, but don't go in, understand?" Wu Qi said.

"Humble duty understands."

"Humble duty understands."

……

After Zhu Huan got out of the barracks, he did not rush to the middle camp, but looked for land transportation.

Lu Yun, who was originally the squire of the Ministry of Industry in Jinling, was later transferred to Beijing and helped Zhu Huan preside over the construction of the Thunder Cannon. Zhu Huan valued this person's talent, and turned around directly when he went north this time. Lu Yun didn't have a problem with this, he was only interested in developing weapons. For Lei Xiaocang, he looked at him more heavily than his position as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, so he simply followed Zhu Huan all the way north.

At this time, Lu Yun was lying on the chair dozing off, Zhu Huan came over, and when he saw that this guy was lazy, he coughed lightly twice.

"Huh?" Lu Yun opened his eyes, and after seeing that it was Zhu Huan, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Minister Lu Yun, I have seen the prince." ”

"You've had a good little life." Zhu Huan said with a smile.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Isn't there nothing to do, the minister's body is weak, if you don't rest and rest, what can you do if you are tired." ”

"Don't put your flamboyant tongue here." Zhu Huan asked, "Is the thing that this king asked you to make is done?" ”

Zhu Huan's armor stomach was beaten and broken after the first battle on the east wall, and even the weapon was broken, so he asked Lu to make a new armor stomach for him.

Lu Yun also became energetic when he heard this, and said: "The prince commanded, the minister naturally has to do his best, and you should go in with the minister to have a look." ”

The two walked into the barracks, and there was a shelf covered with a black cloth standing in the room, and Lu Yun stepped forward and tore off the black cloth on the shelf, revealing a bright and swaying stomach.

"It's really lucky, Yongpingwei's warehouse has a set of Mingguang armor that I don't know when it was handed down, you see, it really deserves to be the head of Tang Thirteen Armor, the craftsmanship is excellent, not only the plate armor is bright and strong, and the connection of the armor stomach is also very well handled, the protection is tight, there is no leakage, and the production is exquisite, noble and gorgeous and revealing the atmosphere, and with the fortitude and majesty of the soldiers, it is really the top grade in the armor, and what is even more rare is that this set of armor stomach happens to be suitable for the prince and your body type."

Lu Yun exclaimed: "This set is the late Tang Dynasty Mingguang Mountain armor in the Mingguang armor, the whole body is defensive, the total weight is sixty-six catties, the whole armor is covered by 3,200 large and small mountain inscriptions, the cowhide is the armor edge hook defense, there are three layers of armor on the chest, the outermost layer is the heart guard, the fierce shoulder guard, the lion belly swallows the armor, and the face is covered with white tiger iron armor. Even after hundreds of years, this set of armor stomach is still the top level, the disadvantage is that it has been put for too long, and the armor stomach is a little old, but the minister has already dealt with the aging parts. ”

Zhu Huan looked closely, there is a metal round guard on the chest and back, polished extremely smooth, quite like a mirror, under the illumination of the sun, reflecting a dazzling light, no wonder it is called Mingguang armor, see the light of the sun, the world is bright!

This set of armor stomach is definitely the pinnacle of the battle armor, but the shortcomings are also obvious - expensive!

It's so expensive!

Mingguang armor manufacturing first to forge the armor, the processing of the armor needs to go through many complex processes such as punching, coarse grinding, perforation, wrong holes, and cutting, staggered, fine grinding, etc., after the processing is completed, the leather strip is braided into the armor, in order to prevent scratching the skin, but also with leather lining, to prevent wear and tear of the skin. It usually takes about 200 days to create a pair of armor in this way, and the forging of large pieces of plate armor is difficult and costly.

Mingguang armor is generally listed as a symbol of glory, a inheritance passed from one general to the next. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Mingguang armor has gradually disappeared, and various armors in the form of scale armor have reappeared on the stage of history, and replaced the position of Mingguang armor as the main equipment of the army.

The main reason is because the smelting technology of the former Song Dynasty was more mature than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the cold forging technology began to be applied on a large scale. ”

It can be seen that the hoplites of the Song Dynasty were equipped with a large number of scale armor pieces, and although the scale armor made in this way was inferior to the Mingguang armor in terms of protective performance of the same weight, the cost was low.

"It's a good thing." Zhu Huan exclaimed.

"Lord Wang, then change it now?"

"Swap it out."

Zhu Huan was already a little impatient.

……

"Lu has said many times that Shanhaiguan is a place to defend against the Hu people, and the blood of my own internal fighting cannot be splashed on the walls of my Shanhaiguan." Lu Yu said impatiently.

Yang Wen's lieutenant said: "Yang Shuai invited General Lu this time, not for the sake of passing, but simply to invite the general to drink. ”

"Come on, are you blind when Lu Mou's eyes are?" Lu Yu sneered: "Your Liaodong army was forced to retreat by King Qi, and it is already a trapped beast, even if your Yang Shuai has a big heart, can you still drink now?" ”

The lieutenant general of Liaodong was a little embarrassed, but just smiled.

Stepping into the barracks, the Liaodong soldiers slowly surrounded and stopped the fifty mountain and sea guards behind Lu Yu.

"What does that mean?" Lu Yu frowned and looked at the deputy general of Liaodong.

The deputy general of Liaodong stroked his beard and said: "Yang Shuai just invited General Lu alone, our army discipline is strict, and I also ask General Lu to forgive me." ”

Although Lu Yu was dissatisfied, he could only nod.

Deputy General Liaodong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "General Lu, please don't blame, this is not ...... today."

Before he could finish speaking, a dispute broke out at the gate of the barracks.
