Zhao Shuo looked at Yang Tianhua again and said, "Yang Aiqing, now that the stone cart has been completed, I have to take a look at the armor by the way when I come over this time." ”

Heavy military duel, the Song Dynasty had extraordinary armor to equal the cavalry of the Jin people.

But real history is not used.

Because the civilian officials in charge of the armaments did not issue the army with those hard armors.

Zhao Shuo was worried that the next time the Jin army besieged the city, there would be street fighting.

Just in case.

It is necessary to prepare for the melee protection of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are in close contact.

Yang Tianhua said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will send the craftsmen to get the battle armor. ”

"Where's the Bingjia Pavilion? Take me with you. ”

"Your Majesty, you have a golden body, why do you need to investigate in person, come here, go and get a pair of battle armor."

"Yang Aiqing, did you hear what I just said? You lead the way. ”

"By the way, I'm going to check my weapons and battle bows and arrows."

Yang Tian turned into a dilemma: "Your Majesty ......"

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"No, Wechen will lead the way."

Half an hour later, Zhao Shuo came to the Forging Pavilion.

The long-range attack weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, although in the late Northern Song Dynasty, were still at their peak.

There's nothing wrong here.

The main reason is that the Divine Arm Bow and the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow have begun to be mass-produced.

After mass production, there was less oil and water, and officials rarely made up their minds on it.

Then we went to the Armor Pavilion.

The Armor Pavilion is completely different.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Song army rarely wore heavy armor.

Since the invasion of the Jin people, the cloth armor of the Song army could hardly withstand the onslaught of the Jin cavalry.

So, armor making is on the agenda again.

According to the vision of a famous general like Zhang Shuye, the most important thing to use should be the Tiefutu battle armor that is treasured in the Armament Silong Pavilion.

But when it came to the Armaments Division, the high cost of the iron futu and the time-consuming and laborious production process were obviously not the source of benefits they agreed with.

So settle for the next best thing and make common armor to cope with errands.

If you want to say that the armor can at least resist the slashing of the golden people, right?

That's not the case at all.

The armor of the Song Dynasty was made of iron pieces and animal skins.

Cushioning is good.

This is good, stay in theory.

That's right!

After it was really made, many soldiers said that it was like chicken ribs.

Wearing it on the body not only affects the fight, but also has no obvious defense.

This is also what Zhao Shuo is most worried about.

The reason why he rushed to inspect at this critical juncture was to raise questions as soon as possible and give the officials time to set things right.

At the very least, there are not many defenders in Bianliang City now.

Most of the cavalry units were also Zhang Shuye's old troops.

Cavalry of two thousand people, armor is needed.

Even though the corruption of the Armor Pavilion has been rampant, there is still plenty of time to produce 2,000 armors in a month from now.

"Your Majesty later, Weichen will go to get the armor."

"Stop, I'm going to check it myself." Zhao Shuo entered the Armor Pavilion.

Looking at the shelves in the attic, there are a batch of armor with a very dirty style and rusty armor.

Speechless.

"Uncle Zhang, you are a professional, you come to test. I want to get the most realistic test results. ”

As the saying goes, professional things have to be done by professional people.

Uncle Zhang happily accepted the order and waved his hand.

Have the guards behind you put their armor on the stake of detection.

The crossbow bolt is then used at a certain distance to test the protection.

As a result, an arrow passed, and a large hole was directly opened in the armor.

Uncle Zhang threw the bow and arrow to his subordinates and shook his head.

His reply like this had already made Zhao Shuo's face cold.

Yang Tianhua trembled with fright, and when he was embarrassed, he also gathered his wisdom and said: "Your Majesty, this is my abandoned battle armor, and the latest battle armor is here." ”

Yang Tianhua walked to the corner with small steps and ordered someone to take out a set of battle armor.

When he saw that pair of armor, Zhao Shuo bowed slightly.

Uncle Zhang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhang Shuye knew that it was a fish scale armor that had been made during the Taizu period of the Great Song Dynasty!

But he didn't wear it!

For more than a hundred years, that thing was placed here, and a general like Zhang Shuye didn't have the honor to wear it!

Who would dare to believe this?

But this is the most real Da Song!

"Give it a try."

Zhao Shuo nodded to Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang personally tested this time.

He was also eager to demonstrate the comprehensive performance of this armor.

After some testing, Uncle Zhang was very satisfied with the armor.

Because of the bow and arrows and swords added to it, even if a brave warrior like Zhang Shuye exerts his strength, it will only break the armor.

The stake was only half an inch scarred.

It stands to reason that this is already dangerous.

For the human torso is no harder than wood.

If you really want to cut it with a knife, you will either die or be injured.

However, this is based on a name like Zhang Shuye.

In ancient times, the generals who commanded the army and fought had a high force value.

In the face of them, in fact, the armor of the current era can be broken except for the iron float.

Therefore, this criterion does not hold.

Because the generals of the Song and Jin dynasties were not like earlier, they personally took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation to fight.

Therefore, the soldiers who fight on the front line are the truest standard.

The combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is not much different from each other, and they pay more attention to a whole.

For them, this suit of armor was enough to save their lives.

Zhao Shuo nodded: "Yes, how many sets of armor are there?" ”

Yang Tianhua trembled and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, there are only more than one hundred and sixty sets now. ”

After answering this sentence, Yang Tianhua subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Hehe......"

Zhao Shuo smiled when he heard such an answer.

It's not that I laughed helplessly, but I laughed angrily.

The well-known Great Song Dynasty, the Armaments Division, represents the pinnacle of the world's weapons and armor production technology, and it is also the most tyrant empire in the world.

It has reached a critical moment for the survival of the nation and the crisis of the country.

I could only take out more than a hundred sets of decent armor!!

This......

Zhao Shuo's hateful teeth itched, but he couldn't attack.

He's still counting on the gang to make him a stone cart.

More than 100 sets are more than 100 sets, it's better than nothing.

Just when Zhao Shuo was about to give the order for Yang Tianhua to build two thousand sets of the same armor.

The unexpected happened!

Qi Yu, the personal guard who followed Zhao Shuo in, originally tested the armor with Zhang Shuye.

After Uncle Zhang's night test, Qi Yu was about to put down the crossbow in his hand.

However, there was still an arrow in the crossbow, and Qi Yu shot it out casually in line with the idea of being clear.

However, the result was a big surprise to him!

A common feather arrow actually directly broke the fish scale armor into a hole the size of a fist.

"This ......"

Qi Yu was stunned.

Uncle Zhang walked to the armor at night.

Reaching out and grabbing it, his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, this armor looks the same as the one just now, but the armor is actually made of pieces of paper."
