Usually a heavily armed elite armorer, in the absence of armor-piercing weapons for the enemy.

Until the physical strength is exhausted, it is no problem for one person to fight a hundred people.

This is also the reason why there are many examples of dozens of people chasing thousands of people in history.

Because in most cases, the Leather Armor is invincible on the battlefield.

In this case, it has not changed since the appearance of bronze armor.

Da Ming was able to beat the Northern Yuan in the face of the enemy, also because Da Ming's Mingguang armor was able to block the scimitars and bows and arrows of the grassland barbarians.

And their leather armor can't stop the spears and arrows of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, the heavy armor troops of the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Rust is an indispensable and important force to destroy the world.

But now, Lin Che said that the armor had come to the end of being eliminated.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang really unacceptable.

If the armor is useless, then what weapon should the Ming use to deter the unconvinced barbarians?

Because of Lin Che's words, it was too amazing.

So much so that Zhu Gui, who doesn't care about martial arts. couldn't help but ask a question similar to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sir, you said that the armor will be eliminated, so my Ming Dynasty will fight against the barbarians, wouldn't I have no advantage in armament?" ”

Zhu Bai couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what kind of new armor is that, which replaces the existence of armor?" ”

Due to the limitations of the times, in Zhu Gui's view, what can replace today's armor must be a new type of armor.

But he couldn't figure out what else could be more defensive than armor forged from steel.

"Armor is like a shield, and the only thing that can eliminate a shield is always a weapon."

For the question of the two, Lin first answered Zhu Bai's.

looked at the little broken child with a confused face.

He added: "It's like when the spear was used in war, the traditional leather armor was replaced by bronze armor." ”

"And when iron arrows were widely used, iron chain mail came into being."

"As for the iron weapons that ran rampant in the world, the defense of chain mail was insufficient, so all kinds of iron armor with extremely strong defense appeared."

Anyway, in general, it is basically the advancement of weapons, which makes the protective gear have to be passively replaced.

Zhu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Che's prompt: "Sir, are you saying that soon, a weapon that can make all armor lose its protective effect will appear?" ”

Lin Che smiled slightly, "It's not the future, this weapon has already appeared." ”

These words caused Zhu Bai's eyes to widen.

This Zhu Gui was secretly asked: "Sir, what is this weapon you are talking about?" ”

"Firecracker!"

Lin Che didn't sell it, and directly revealed the answer.

The two brothers, who were originally looking forward to it, suddenly said with a lack of interest when they heard this: "Sir, aren't you joking with us?" ”

"The fire gun has a low target, a lot of smoke, and although the power is good, it is too slow to reload."

"The enemy can't fight a few shots at all, and it's impossible to eliminate the iron armor."

Because Zhu Bai and the others didn't know the fire gun of the Ming Dynasty, it had been updated to the era of the bird gun.

So they didn't believe Lin Che's words.

Lin Che didn't explain, just smiled and said, "Weapons are constantly updated. ”

"In the Great Song Dynasty, the fire gun was still made of bamboo, and the projectile was not very powerful, and it could only scare the pipes used by horses, but in my Ming Dynasty, it became a weapon that could kill and injure the enemy."

"You dare to say that if she is allowed to develop, the firearm will not become a more powerful weapon?"

Zhu Gui suddenly fell silent.

Because as Lin Che said, although there are many problems with today's firecrackers.

But its power is obvious to all.

If it is corrected, then in the near future, the armor may really be useless.

In the secret room, Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard the answer, was relieved and joked with Liu Sanwu: "Since Lin Che said, the future of the fire gun is defenseless." ”

"Then if we suppress the unsubordinate, gradually a firearm army, and then equip them with iron armor."

"In this way, no matter how many layers of armor the barbarians wear, it is impossible to block my Daming's fire bolts."

"But their weapons can't break through the gunner's defenses? Isn't my Ming army invincible in the world? ”

When Liu Sanwu heard this, the first thing he thought in his heart was not the invincibility of the army.

It's about how much it costs to assemble such an army with both bird guns and full armor.

……

The mansion next door.

After accepting the idea that the armor should be eliminated by the firecracker.

Suddenly realized: "Sir, I understand, no wonder you want the court to sell the gentry armor, it turns out that the court already has weapons that can restrain heavy armor." ”

Although Zhu Bai didn't listen to Lin Che's previous lessons, he didn't know that the imperial court already had a new type of bird gun.

But he knows very well that his husband will never be untargeted in national affairs.

Zhu Gui's trust in Lin Che is not as blind as Zhu Bai.

But he thought that according to Mr. Lin's wisdom, it would not be difficult to improve the shortcomings of the firecracker.

Therefore, it was tacitly acquiesced that the imperial court would sell armor to the gentry, and there would be no problem of rebellion.

"The era of iron armor is not many years away, and it will be the world of firearms and cannons in the future."

Lin Che was reminded of Zhu Bai's words, and he couldn't help but recall the development history of the fire gun.

He couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how good the steel is, the armor made will not be able to block a cheap buckshot in the end." ”

"So as long as the Ming Dynasty's firearms can maintain their advantages all the time, they will not only be able to sell armor to the gentry."

"Even the surrounding ambitious barbarians can sell armor to them to breed their courage and ambition."

"Let them no longer hide timidly when the Ming army attacks, but full of confidence. Fight head-to-head with the Ming army equipped with new firearms. ”

Zhu Gui understood that Lin Che's last few words were answering the question he had just asked.

The Ming army didn't have the advantage of armor, in fact, it didn't matter.

As long as there are more advanced firearms, any armor is like paper paste.

On the contrary, these eliminated armors can be sold for a second time, harvesting the wealth of the barbarians.

In the end, these timid rats can take the initiative to go under the big flame.

It is most conceivable that a group of barbarians in full armor confidently want to challenge the authority of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the invincible armor of the past was useless, and they became lambs to be slaughtered under the Ming army.

The heavy iron armor makes it impossible for the barbarians to run away if they want to.

There is only a desperate and helpless picture, falling in the harvest of buckshot.

Before that, it was the gentry and landlords who had to be harvested by Lin Che who had to be reaped by the corresponding orders.
