Datang romantic little landlord

"Brother is right, it is made of steel from hundreds of refiners. Do you know that the holes in the armor are pierced by armor-piercing arrows at what distance?"

Yan Lide shook his head: "Brother can't figure it out, it's the first time I've seen this iron armor made of refined steel, isn't it too extravagant?"

Yan Liben smiled wryly and raised two fingers: "Ershi's strong bow, with armor-piercing arrows, can barely penetrate this iron armor at a distance of twenty or thirty steps."

Yan Lide gasped: "Really? Such a strong iron armor! Brother, I have never seen such a strong defense of iron armor."

"Not only that, brother, look at the back of the iron armor." Yan Liben continued: "This is the method that the master came up with. The back of the iron armor is also lined with multiple layers of silk and cowhide. When the arrow was tested that day, the iron armor was tight. It was tightly bound to a pig. But seven or eight armor-piercing arrows actually pierced through the pig's skin tightly without bleeding. The younger brother estimates that the armor made by this method is really invulnerable, even It's amazing."

As a master supervisor, Yan Lide naturally knew the strength of the iron armor, he was amazed and praised again and again.I admire Li Wangyou's unconstrained ideas very much.

The inconspicuous silk and cowhide can actually increase the ability of iron armor to defend against arrow feathers. This kind of whimsical idea, even a master craftsman like him, can only admire him for a long time.

"Li Ben, isn't this a good thing? Why are you frowning again?" Yan Lide asked puzzled.

Yan Liben shook his head with a wry smile, and told the story of his master giving these armors to Cheng Chumo's dudes. Yan Lide also shook his head, understanding why his brother was so depressed.

Yan Lide looked at the iron armor in his hand, but smiled again.

"Liben, this matter is actually quite simple."

"Oh? Brother, what's the trick? Can you persuade the teacher to change his mind?" Yan Liben asked in confusion.

Yan Lide leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, which made Yan Liben's face change drastically.

"This...how can this be done, brother, aren't you making me ungrateful? You can't, you can't!" Yan Liben waved his hands again and again.

"Hehe, how could this be treachery? Isn't this a tribute to your teacher? How can Huxian Bo blame you?" Yan Lide laughed while twisting his beard.

Yan Liben hesitated: "Is this really possible? Master won't blame me?"

"It's natural, how can I lie to you as a brother?"

"This... makes me think about it..."

765 Whistleblowing

The next morning, Yan Liben sat among the officials, feeling a little dazed.

He touched the hard object in his chest, wondering if he should listen to what his brother said.

Yan Lide was not far in front of him. Seeing that Yan Liben was silent, he couldn't help but look back at him, which meant to urge Yan Liben not to waste time.

Yan Liben's eyes were a little erratic, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

His gaze unconsciously cast on the two sides of the Tai Chi Hall, those palace guards in armor.

The armor worn by these guards looks very mighty, with a royal majesty in it.But Yan Liben knew that these armors were nothing more than appearances, not to mention facing armor-piercing arrows, even ordinary encounters, they could easily penetrate them at a distance of one or two hundred steps, compared with the iron armor in his arms , It's completely different from cloud and mud.

At this time, in the Taiji Hall, the matter of sending troops to the East Turks was being discussed.

In the winter of the second year of Zhenguan, civil strife broke out in Eastern Turks, and Xue Yantuo, Huihe, and Bayegu rebelled one after another.Another blizzard hit the grassland, and many sheep and horses died. As a result, a famine occurred, and the East Turkic people dispersed one after another.

The Eastern Turkic sub-Khan Tuli Khan, who had been oppressed and squeezed out by Jieli Khan for a long time, also secretly contacted Datang and expressed his willingness to join him.

Faced with such a favorable time and place, how could Li Er let it go, he had already made up his mind to attack the Eastern Turks.

The ministers in the Tai Chi Hall had been discussing for a long time about the preparations for the various forces, food and grass, how to send troops and so on.

Yan Liben heard Li Er and Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others discussing important military affairs, and once again reached out to touch the iron armor in his arms, finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, intending to follow his brother's advice and "sell out" his teacher once more .

He had already made up his mind that after the court was over, he would go to the teacher's mansion to plead guilty, and he was willing to accept any blame from the teacher.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!" Yan Liben suddenly got up and interrupted the court meeting.

Li Er was listening to Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, report on the stockpiling of grain and grass in various states, when he was suddenly interrupted by Yan Liben, he couldn't help frowning.

"Yan Aiqing, what's the matter with you? Come on." Li Er also knew that Yan Li was always prudent, and if there was no serious matter, he would not be so reckless.So although he was unhappy, he still asked.

Yan Liben took out the armor from his bosom, held it high above his head, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my minister's commander, Li Ziyou, Bo of Hu County, has recently created a new type of armor, which is indestructible and truly a weapon of magic weapons! Your Majesty, please, It's just to give merit to the teacher of the minister."

This was the idea his elder brother Yan Lide gave him, using the pretext of showing merit for Li Wangyou, and told Li Er about it.

A battle-tested emperor like Li Er would not tolerate such a precious armor falling into the hands of others, he would definitely order Li Wangyou to present the precious armor.

In this way, even if Li Wangyou knew about it, he couldn't blame Yan Liben.

Of course, these are just excuses.

Yan Liben knew very well that he had "betrayed" his teacher by doing so.But he really didn't want to see such a precious armor fall into the hands of a few dandies, so he simply broke his heart, listened to his brother's words, and stood up to speak to Li Er.

Li Er, who was still a little displeased just now, immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing Yan Liben's words, and in the hall, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong and other military generals and Dukes also had their eyes shining.

"Yan Aiqing, what kind of armor is it? Present it quickly." Li Er stood up from the throne and said impatiently.

Yan Liben raised his hands high, handed the iron armor in his hand to Mi Tuo, and continued: "Your Majesty, please look at this iron armor. The holes on it are all two-stone strong bows. The armor-piercing arrows made in the army can only be reached at a distance of twenty steps. It can be shot through. Moreover, the arrows of the armor-piercing arrows were all stuck in the iron armor and could not penetrate completely."

His words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong, the Dukes of the state, didn't care about the appearance in front of the palace, they all rushed to Mi Tuo's side, grabbed the iron armor, and looked around.

Li Er didn't mind the rudeness of Cheng Yaojin and others, he walked down the imperial steps quickly, and followed him to look at the iron armor.

"Your Majesty, this is really shot by an armor-piercing arrow."

"Tsk tsk, if I'm not mistaken, this piece of armor is made of steel!"

"Zhi Niang, the armor is actually made of hundreds of refined steels. No wonder it is so strong. But a two-stone strong bow can't be pierced by twenty steps? Why don't I believe it?" Cheng Yaojin yelled.

A group of princes and bigwigs talked a lot, looking at the iron armor full of holes, but their eyes were full of excitement.

"Yan Shaojian, what is the lining behind this iron armor?" Li Er looked at it carefully and waved to Yan Liben, beckoning him to explain to him.

Yan Liben said: "Your Majesty, the lining behind the iron armor is silk and cowhide. The teacher said that this can block the arrows. At first, I didn't believe it, but after trying it, I realized that the teacher's words are true. All armor-piercing arrows, the arrows After passing through the iron armor, they were all entangled by the silk and blocked by the cowhide, and finally barely pierced the cowhide, so they couldn't go any further."

Before Li Er could speak, Cheng Yaojin yelled, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me have a try?"

"Yes!" Li Er nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yaojin immediately asked the imperial guards to take the iron armor out of the hall, and found an arrow target to fix it on.He also ordered people to fetch a strong bow and arrow feathers, and prepared to shoot a few arrows with the bow himself.

Li Er didn't care about the court meeting, and led his group of officials to rush out of the Tai Chi Hall to watch Cheng Yaojin test his arrows.

Cheng Yaojin didn't believe Yan Liben's words at all, he knew the power of armor-piercing arrows in the army.In his mind, even if this piece of iron armor is made of [-]-year-old steel, it will definitely be shot through at a distance of up to fifty steps.

After the imperial guards brought the bow and arrow, Cheng Yaojin directly drew the bow and set the arrow, and shot an arrow from fifty steps away.

When there was a sound of metal impact, the arrow feather pierced the iron armor, swayed a few times, and a gust of wind blew the feather arrow down.
