The production process of the armor piece is not difficult, and it really takes a skillful technique, and a set of armor pieces does not even take four days.

When Raya Blacksmith received Xu Siling's order, he was so happy and excited.

Although he didn't know what these strange armor pieces were for, it wasn't too difficult, and he did as he was told.

In order to do a good job of the nail piece, he even took two apprentices to make it overnight, in order not to have an accident, he carefully checked each piece of the nail piece, lest Xu Siling be dissatisfied with the delivery, you must know that this is a big order.

Xu Siling checked that there was no problem and paid the balance payment, and Ella was very interested in what he ordered.

As long as it is related to handicrafts, Ella is interested, especially before watching Xu Siling paint by himself.

Piercing armor with a rope is just a bit tedious and not difficult, and when Ella is interested, he will teach her how to pierce armor and stack armor.

Ella fumbled quickly, and although the two armor pieces were stacked differently, it was not difficult for the intelligent Ella at all.

Seeing that Ella was focused on these manual work, Xu Siling didn't want her to be so tired, so she hurriedly called Luo Shui and Wally, the two knight apprentices, to learn this armor-piercing technique together.

With the joint efforts of several people, the split Zajia was finally completed.

The two children looked at the fish scale breastplate shining silver, and the fish scale armor on the top and bottom looked smooth and beautiful.

When the sun hits the cuirass, the scales shine, a color that makes the fish scale cuirass attractive to the rest of the courtyard.

The armor parts of the shoulders, arms, and lower body are also layered.

The shape of the ten-hole armor is longer, and the way it is stacked on top of the bottom makes it look less beautiful than the fish scale breastplate.

But when paired with a fish scale cuirass, it's not bad at all.

When she wore the armor halfway, Ella realized that Xu Siling was wearing a new type of armor.

She knew a little, but not deeply.

"Husband, your armor looks heavy, will it affect your physical activity?"

Xu Siling shook his head: "Except for the breastplate, the other parts are all soft on the lower stack, which will not affect the activity, so there are no special shortcomings." ”

Ella was curious, not knowing if Xu Siling should try to wear it now.

"Luoshui, Wally, put this armor on that stake."

"Good!"

The two of them carried Zajia to a wooden stake in the courtyard, and with a little difficulty put Zajia on the stake.

The fish scales and armor glistened in the sunlight, and many servants in the courtyard couldn't help but stop watching, curious to see what their master was fiddling with.

Xu Siling asked the English longbow to be fetched, estimated the distance of thirty paces, and prepared to raise the bow and arrow.

As soon as there were many people, Ella didn't want to talk very much, and her expression was flat, as if she didn't care about anything.

But Xu Siling saw that Ella had been staring at the English longbow in his hand, and immediately realized what she cared about, and said with a smile.

"You think it's a little bad for me to do this?"

Ella closed her eyes and shook her head lightly: "My husband has his own reasons for doing things, but at this distance, even if the chain mail is paired with plate chain mail, with the power of the English longbow, the armor that can be easily penetrated when the bow is drawn." I'm worried that my husband's newly made armor will be damaged, and a freshly made set of armor will be scrapped, which is not good. ”

Xu Siling could hear that Ella was trying her best to remind herself tactfully.

So many people looked at it, it was still the new armor he made himself, and it was good that there was no problem, but if there was a problem, the manor would definitely have a lot more gossip.

Ella prefers to let Xu Siling secretly test it in private, but it's not good to say this kind of thing now, just vaguely reminding him that with the power of the English longbow, it is easy to shoot through all the armor in Europe at a distance of thirty paces.

"Ella, how about we make a bet."

"What is the husband going to bet on Ella?"

"Just bet on whether I can shoot through this set of armor at this distance."

Ella felt the confidence in Xu Siling's words, and said lightly: "I believe in my husband, so I don't have to gamble." ”

Hearing this, Xu Siling couldn't help laughing.

Not only the servants in the courtyard, but even some members of the Florophan family in the manor gathered at the gate of the courtyard to watch.

The manor is not big, and there are no houses to obstruct it, and if something happens, it won't be long before the word spreads throughout the manor.

How did the English tyrannize the Kingdom of France with the English longbow in the Battle of Cressie, everyone knows that now seeing that Xu Siling wants to shoot this new armor with the English longbow, everyone doesn't have too good ideas for each other.

In particular, the cuirass of the new armor is shining silver and extremely beautiful, but the armor on the chest does not look thicker than the armor on the shoulder, how can it be possible to block the English longbow shot at this distance?

Under the unexpected gaze of everyone, Xu Siling stretched his bow and arrows.

Take a deep breath and pull up the string of the longbow.

The bowstring was tight, with a huge amount of energy, Xu Siling stabilized his body, focused on the target, and his eyes locked on the fish scale armor on the wooden stake.

Let go of your hand.

The bowstring was released, and the moment the arrow broke away from the bowstring, it pierced the sky like lightning, and the arrow at a distance of thirty paces was fast and fierce, hitting the fish's scale breastplate fiercely.

Everyone assumed in their hearts that the fish scale armor would be penetrated, and they didn't expect much.

But they were surprised by the scene in front of them.

The arrows make a crisp crashing sound when they hit the scale breastplate.

The arrow is bounced off!

At this distance, the arrows fired by the English longbow did not penetrate the fish scale armor!

Ella's expression remained the same, but she looked at Xu Siling's eyes with a little more color.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, not understanding what was going on.

Xu Siling didn't stop, and then shot two more arrows with a full bow, but he changed the other parts of the breastplate to shoot.

Without exception, the impact of the arrow on the cuirass left only a crisp sound, and did not penetrate the fish scale armor.

Xu Siling didn't stop, but he didn't shoot at this distance, and stepped forward until he reached a distance of twenty paces from the wooden stake, and then opened his bow and arrows again.

It was still three arrows shot, and the aim was still at the different positions of the fish scale breastplate.

This time the result is different from the thirty paces distance.

Two of the three arrows were bounced off, and the last one pierced directly through the scales breastplate.

Seeing that the arrow finally penetrated the breastplate, everyone's deep breath was finally relieved.

They didn't know why they didn't dare to breathe, but they were surprised and incomprehensible that this armor could withstand the full shot of the English longbow.

Xu Siling and Ella came to the stake to check the armor.

In the five parts of the armor that were shot, the four-hole armor pieces all showed a recessed appearance, but it can be seen that the four-hole arc armor pieces can remove most of the impact and lethality of the arrows by stacking fish scales.

In addition to the damage to the armor, the impact in front of the stake when fired at was not particularly large.

And the arrow that the last arrow penetrated into the breastplate, Xu Siling checked and found that the arrow was directly concave and crooked by the four-hole armor, which penetrated into the breastplate.

But when I broke it open and looked at the stake, the arrow did not penetrate much of the stake.

If the fish scale cuirass is paired with a chain mail robe and an inner lining, even if it is shot through by the English longbow at a distance of twenty paces, the impact and damage will be greatly weakened, and the arrow hitting the chain mail in the cuirass will not bring much damage.

Xu Siling is very satisfied with this test result.

Don't look at twenty paces to shoot through the scales breastplate.

You must know that in the field battlefield, the distance of twenty paces is not to mention horseback, and the distance of infantry sprinting twenty paces is extremely fast, and at this distance, the English longbowmen have to retract their bows and take out their melee weapons to prepare.

How can you shoot with a bow at a distance of twenty paces, isn't that fatal?

Of course, city warfare counts separately.

Ella gently stroked the concave armor and asked curiously, "Husband, why can this cuirass withstand the longbow's shot?" Still so close. ”

"If you look at the armor on the chest carefully, it is with an arc amplitude, and then these armor pieces are stacked like fish scales, and when the arrow is fired, it will transfer the power of the arrow, causing the power of the arrow to be offset and dispersed, making it difficult to penetrate the armor."

Saying that, Xu Siling also used his finger as a metaphor for an arrow and gently poked it on the fish scale breastplate.

Ella was extremely intelligent, and stroked the breastplate suddenly.

"What is this armor called?"

"The Fish Scale Armor, made to deal with long-range weapon fire. The advantage in melee defense is also better than chain mail, but it will be difficult to resist from a bottom-up stab. ”

Ella thought of something: "It seems that my husband has already begun to prepare for the war with the Kingdom of England in the future. ”

"The goal of these generations of Dharma kings is to recover the territory within the kingdom, and with all these years of grudges, as long as the Black Death is controlled, it is only a matter of time before the war starts again." Xu Siling threw the longbow to the servant beside him, "Philip VI suffered a loss in the Battle of Cressie, so I naturally have to learn a lesson and make some preparations for this." ”

"How much does a set of nail pieces cost my husband?"

"12 gold coins."

"It's expensive"

"If the raw materials are stable and the mold is out, the cost can be lower."

Xu Siling didn't dare to tell Ella that when the plate armor officially appeared in the early fifteenth century, the price of one set was enough to shock her jaw.

Although by the end of the fifteenth century, plate armor could be produced on an assembly line, and the price was greatly reduced, and a mercenary could buy a cheap set of plate armor without eating or drinking for three months.

But by this time, firearms had also come out

When the plate armor really appeared, the price was not something that the fish scale armor could touch the porcelain.

However, no matter how expensive the 12 gold coins are, they are not as expensive as the jar of MSG sold by Xu Siling.

In particular, the costs of both sides are not worth comparing at all.

Ella stroked the damaged nail plate, revealing a faint pity.

"It's so good armor, but it's a pity it's damaged."

"Ella, you forgot, this armor is made of pieces of armor that are stacked one after another."

Ella's gray pupils suddenly understood: "So it's easy to maintain?" ”

"You only need to disassemble the rope, replace the damaged armor, replace the new armor and re-fold it, and the armor will be maintained." Xu Siling said with a smile, "It's really a little troublesome to maintain, and I'm worried that it will rust, but if it's stored properly, it's actually fine." ”

"When is my husband going to mass-produce this armor?"

"Take your time and don't rush, first of all, I don't have so many people, and I don't have so much money. The war between the kingdom and England will continue, but it is not yet time, and we have enough time. ”

Ella thought of something and nodded: "Regarding the nail mold of the fish scale armor, I'll figure it out." ”

It can be seen that Ella is really interested in handicrafts, so Xu Siling handed over this matter to her.

He made a set of fish scale armor to test the effect, whether it was really the same as what he knew.

Knowing the result, he was satisfied.

The mass production of fish scale armor is really not in a hurry, and now the mass production is prepared in advance, not only the cost is expensive, but also the maintenance is also a big problem.

As far as the broken weather in Europe is concerned, no matter how you keep it, it is very easy for the nail pieces to rust.

Of course, compared to the maintenance cost of plate armor, the fish scale armor is still a small thing.

If the plate armor is broken, it is sad, not to mention the maintenance cost, the maintenance of the plate armor is not capable of ordinary blacksmiths.

If the armor is damaged, only the damaged armor can be replaced.

Now it's not bad to let Ella think of a way to reduce the cost of the Fish Scale Armor in other ways.

Just when Xu Siling shouted to Luoshui and Wally, and dismantled the fish scale armor for maintenance and safekeeping, someone in the yard brought news.

There is feedback about the witch going out to contact other executioner families.

An executioner family in the west of the kingdom had long heard the news that Xu Siling had become a knight, including the Frofen family, and they also knew about it.

There was some disbelief in their hearts, how did an executioner become a knight?

With a skeptical attitude towards this news, slowly dig deeper.

I don't know if I don't know, and I'm shocked when I understand.

Raya Town is also the only town in the kingdom that does not seem to be affected by the Black Death, and the lord of Raya Town, Fei'er, has also received a revelation from God, and the executioner of Raya Town has become a knight, and this kind of thing has made the executioner's family faint.

Under the skillful handing of the Raya witch, the executioner family in the west of the kingdom learned that Xu Siling had the idea of contacting other executioner families, and was moved, and immediately arranged for someone to ride to Raya Town, to be the first to contact Xu Siling to understand the situation.

There were four people standing at the gate of the manor courtyard, all four of them were wearing hooded cloaks, except for one petite figure who had not taken off his hood, and the other three men all took off their hoods with great politeness, and their faces were full of smiles.

When the people of the Flophon family in the manor learned of their intentions, they all looked unkind.

Xu Siling beckoned the servant to take them into the courtyard.

As soon as they met, the leader immediately bowed down humbly.

"Dear Lord Siling, I am Anton Adler, we are both from the Adler family in the West, I heard that you have been canonized as a knight, and I specially came to give a gift to congratulate you."

Xu Siling blinked, but he didn't expect to receive a gift.

"Running all the way here, you are also tired, why do you still bring gifts."

"It's all on our minds."

Xu Siling couldn't help but look left and right, where is the gift? Will it be like the Flophon family to send horses and money?

Anton pushed down the petite figure who was still wearing a hood next to him.

"Don't come forward to say hello to Lord Siling."

This person couldn't help but step forward, slowly took off his hood, revealing his face, and after seeing his face clearly, Xu Siling couldn't help but be stunned.

"Her name is Volna Adler, and she is my daughter, and I want to give it to Lord Siling as a companion." (End of chapter)
