Datang romantic little landlord

But Yan Liben and Niu Wu at the side didn't think so.

Yan Liben carefully looked at the iron armor with a small hole shot by Niu Wuqiang's bow, thinking that Niu Wu could shoot a hole when he was fifty steps away. If it was twenty or thirty steps away, how could the iron armor not be able to penetrate it?

What if the lining is increased with cowhide?

Among the thirteen armors of the Tang Army, there are leather armors.

Datang's leather armor is made of overlapping layers of leather, mostly made of rhinoceros, shark and other leathers.Compared with metal armor, leather armor has the advantage of being lighter and cheaper.But for the defense of bows and arrows, the effect is not good.

Even layers of leather can't stop the arrow feathers. What effect does the silk and cowhide my teacher mentioned can play against the arrow feathers shot by the Ershi Qiangbow?

As for the silk that Li Wangyou mentioned, what the hell is that?

Among the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, there is silk armor.

The armor made of silk cloth has a beautiful appearance, but it has no defensive function. It is only the usual clothing of generals, or the attire used for ceremonial guards.

Therefore, Yan Liben naturally didn't think that silk and cowhide lining the iron armor could resist bows and arrows. Isn't that just a joke?

Although Yan Liben also admitted that the iron armor made of hundred-refined steel is indeed much harder than the armor pieces of the Tang army's standard armor, but when he thought of making a pair of armor, it would take tens of catties of hundred-refined steel, Yan Liben felt that Distressed.

What's more, his teacher made these armors not to go to battle to kill the enemy, but to use them as some kind of "drama costume". Naturally, he was even more reluctant to do such extravagant behavior.

It would certainly be a good thing if we could take advantage of the chance of making a bet with the teacher to save this batch of steel smelting.

Thinking of this, Yan Liben nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, this is a bet that the disciple has fought with the teacher, and the teacher must follow his words!"

Niu Wu shook his head beside him, feeling that his husband was overconfident, and he might lose the bet with Yan Liben.

Li Wangyou chuckled and said, "Liben, you are doomed. Get ready to refine steel to make armor for me."

Yan Liben didn't answer, and immediately ordered the craftsmen to be recruited, and began to modify the armor according to Li Wangyou's words.

The extremely thin silk was tightly stacked on the back of the iron armor layer by layer by the craftsman. Between each layer of silk, according to Li Wangyou's instructions, a layer of paulownia paint was painted.

Afterwards, hard cowhide was found, and after wrapping it in silk, the cowhide and the iron armor were tightly riveted together with rivets.

The thickness of the remodeled iron armor has increased a lot.But neither Niu Wu nor Yan Liben felt that this would cause any trouble.

"Teacher, Tiejia has been finished according to your instructions, let's try it now?" Yan Liben couldn't wait any longer, and he was very happy to see his little teacher.

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes, planning to insure his bet again.

"Okay, Liben, let someone find a pig."

"Pig?" Yan Li didn't understand what Li Wangyou meant.

Li Wangyou nodded his head as a matter of course: "Tie this iron armor to the pig. If Niu Wu's arrow can penetrate the iron armor and kill the pig, then it will be regarded as the master's loss. If you can't shoot it, hehe, Liben!" , you obediently go to build armor for the teacher."

His evil idea was to use the pig's skin and thick layer of fat to add a little more trouble to the arrow feathers.

Li Wangyou believed that even if the arrow feathers shot by Niu Wu could penetrate the barriers of iron armor, silk, and cowhide, it would be impossible to have greater penetrating power to pass through the barriers of pigskin and fat layer.

Yan Liben opened his mouth when he heard the words, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

The role of the armor is naturally to protect the safety of the wearer.

If you can shoot an armored pig with arrow feathers at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, it seems that it can prove the super defensive power of the iron armor... But the bet I made with the teacher does not seem to be the case?

"Master, the bet you made with me seems to be just a bet on whether the arrow feathers can shoot through the iron armor..." Yan Liben said depressedly.

Li Wangyou didn't care about that much, and said forcefully: "If the arrow feathers can't kill the armored pig, how can it be considered as shooting through the iron armor? Liben, the armor is to protect the armored person. This is a very strict thing. There is no room for deception!"

Yan Liben blushed at what he said. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow to Li Wangyou to show that he had been educated.

Niu Wu was dumbfounded as he watched from the sidelines. My husband is really a bit shameless. Isn't this clearly bullying others Yan Liben is honest?

How thick is that pigskin?Can it be compared with others?

He and his elder brother Niu Yong often go hunting in Qinling Mountains, and they usually don't want to provoke wild boars in the mountains.Thick-skinned and thick-skinned stuff, a few arrow feathers pierce it, not only can't shoot it to death, but also often arouses the ferocity of wild boars.

Although domestic pigs are not as difficult to provoke as wild boars, they are not easily killed by a few feathered arrows.

Naturally, Niu Wu would not expose his own lord's petty thoughts, but only looked at Yan Liben with sympathy, and made a bet with his lord, he was afraid that he would lose again.

In the valley where Cuiwei Palace is located, there are naturally no pigs.

Li Wangyou made a special trip to let the trilogy in the mansion ride back to Dingzhou Village on horseback, and brought back a fat pig weighing about two hundred catties.

The poor fat pig who had been used as an archery target had no idea what had happened, and was led to the archery target and tied up.The specially made iron armor was also tightly bound by the fat pig's side by the craftsman.

Li Wangyou smiled and said: "Okay, Niu Wu, shoot. You can aim, don't shoot beyond the armor with a flick of your hand, even if you shoot the pig, it won't count."

Niu Wu rolled his eyes silently, not bothering to pay attention to Li Wangyou's teasing.

He can accurately hit the iron armor from a hundred steps away, not to mention the distance of twenty or thirty steps, he can shoot with his eyes closed.

Niu Wu simply drew the bow and drew the arrow, and shot it out...

762 Very Powerful Armor

The armor-piercing arrow pierced into the iron armor almost as soon as it left the string, and the next moment, the fat pig who was regarded as the target experiment screamed out.

"It shot through! Actually, this arrow has shot through!" Yan Liben saw the fat pig screaming and struggling desperately, obviously injured by the arrow.If this fat pig hadn't been tied up so tightly, it might have run away long ago.

Li Wangyou was also taken aback, wondering if this "composite armor" really couldn't stop Niu Wu's armor-piercing arrow?

But when he took a closer look, although the fat pig was barking loudly, it seemed that no blood flowed out from under the iron armor.And looking at the appearance of that fat pig, it doesn't look like it was injured, it's very energetic.

Although the armor-piercing arrow inserted into the iron armor did penetrate into the iron armor, Li Wangyou visually measured the length of the arrow handle, and estimated that the arrow should not have penetrated into the iron armor.

Li Wangyou's hanging heart was relieved, he brushed off the non-existing dust on his body, and smiled at Yan Liben: "Liben, I just agreed that the only thing counting is to shoot this pig to death. Look at this pig." , but still alive and kicking."

Yan Liben looked at Li Wangyou with a bit of resentment, and finally realized that he seemed to have been bullied by an unscrupulous teacher.

It was obvious that the bet was that Niu Wu's arrows could penetrate the iron armor, so Li Wangyou lost, but now it's a matter of shooting pigs to death. Isn't this bullying?

How can a fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms be shot so easily?

What's more, Yan Liben could also see that the armor-piercing arrow didn't penetrate much, and the pig probably suffered a little skin trauma at most.

Seeing that the feather arrows did not cause much damage to the fat pig, Niu Wu felt very uncomfortable. Without saying a word, he pulled the bowstring continuously, and shot out armor-piercing arrows one after another, shooting the poor fat pig to death. Keep wailing.

Another seven or eight feathered arrows were shot in a row, and as strong as Niu Wu felt that he couldn't bear it, so he let go of the strong bow in his hand.

The iron armor tightly bound to the pig has been shot into a hedgehog, full of feathered arrows.

Yan Liben sighed helplessly, and motioned to several craftsmen who had been dumbfounded to remove the iron armor from the pig. He wanted to see what kind of damage these armor-piercing arrows had caused.
