Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 716 Simple Shrinked Version of Plate Armor

The morning glow is endless, and the gorgeous rays of light shine on the hillsides and dense forests, making them golden.Not far away, the Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the mighty river water hits the rocks under Niuzhuji, making a whimpering echo.

Standing at the edge of the dense forest, Chang Sun Chong gritted his teeth with hatred as he looked at the Shanyue people lying or lying beside him who were still snoring everywhere.Such a group of dolphin-like wastes only know how to eat, are lazy and don’t do anything to produce. When they plunder, they flock to them but have no way to advance or retreat.No wonder the generations are insoluble in the world, and they are expelled to fend for themselves in the deep mountains, dense forests, poor mountains and bad waters. It is really their own fault!

If it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't been seen in the court, he would definitely have brought troops to slaughter them all, so as to get rid of the scabies in time!

The Yamagoshi Zongshuai who only has muscles but no brains is also unreasonable.You keep saying that you don't want to go up the mountain to slaughter Fang Jun, and you don't want your own tribe to die in vain, but don't you know how the Jiangnan gentry would allow Shan Yuexiao to gather and wreak havoc on Xuanzhou if they didn't regard you as the best candidate to take the blame?
If you don't kill Fang Jun, what's the use of you?
It is useless to kill Fang Jun!
In any case, there is only a dead end in front of him but he doesn't know it, and he wants to rob Danyang with all his heart, it's so greedy and stupid!
Looking up at the top of the mountain, Chang Sun Chong sneered inwardly, not anxious.

I really didn't expect that Fang Jun was just outspoken.
Hundreds of people in the consular district were able to repel several Shanyue people's charges. It seems that it was not a fluke that this stick won the Turkic wolf cavalry in the two battles in the Western Regions. The method of leading troops is indeed better than myself.

But so what?
Isn't he trapped to death, about to become a lamb to be slaughtered?
Do you think that if you stick to this place, you can stick to it and wait for help?Simply naive!Almost all the Jiangnan gentry have formed a tacit agreement. Not only will they never let the prefectures and counties send a single soldier to rescue, but they will also send the dead soldiers raised by their respective clans to kill Fang Jun here and give the imperial court The Lords of Dagon are a shock!
Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the emperor would never want to get involved in robbing the interests of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River!

Changsun Chong did not agree with, or even dismissed, the ambitions of the Jiangnan gentry.Letting you be rampant for a while, have you really forgotten how His Majesty got his start, how he rose to power, and how he secured his position in the world?
When His Majesty is forced to raise the butcher's knife to bury his ideals, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will face a bloody cleansing, Chang Sun Chong is very sure!It's a pity, he is now a bereaved dog, a lonely ghost, so what does the court affairs have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Chang Sun Chong stretched out his hand and pressed the saber on his waist, his eyes shot out hatred!He doesn't care what the end of the Jiangnan gentry is, let alone whether the Shanyue people will be annihilated in the river of history, he only wants Fang Jun's head!

Suddenly there was a sound of "ding ding dong dong", Chang Sun Chong listened carefully, the source of the sound seemed to be the top of the mountain, is it forging iron?I looked at the top of the mountain intently, but the sun was dazzling, and it was so gorgeous that it dazzled people's eyes, and the distance was a little far away, so I couldn't see what the mountain was doing.

Chang Sun Chong suddenly felt a little guilty. That kid Fang Jun might be a little edgy when he was doing business, but he would often come up with some whimsical ideas.

Could it be that this kid is up to some tricks?
Changsun Chong was a little uneasy. Although he was sure that the nearby prefectures and counties would not send soldiers to rescue him, but Ye Chang had many dreams, so he had to kill this kid quickly to be at ease!But looking around, there are not many dead soldiers from various families gathered around him, and most of them are bowmen, lacking heavy armored infantry.Bowmen's sniping is their strength, but if they use it to attack fortifications, they don't have much advantage.Now the soldiers and dead soldiers sent by various families are coming in an endless stream. Just wait a few more days, and they will surely be able to attack uphill in one go and kill Fang Jun!

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Chang Sun Chong could only wait.If there is no absolute advantage to guarantee that Fang Jun will be wiped out in one go, if he finds a loophole and breaks out by relying on the bravery of the cavalry, all his plans will be in vain...

*****
Fang Jun on the mountain naturally didn't know what Chang Sun Chong was thinking, let alone that his father, who was so angry at the crown, had already used the power of the prime minister to mobilize his officials to start a game with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.He is now devoting himself to the fun of blacksmithing and farming...

The iron ingot smelted in the iron smelting furnace has not yet cooled, and it is a soft ball with a dark red color. It is clamped by iron tongs and placed on the rootstock. The huge hydraulic forging hammer is pushed high by hydraulic power, and then falls quickly. .

"when"

The huge forging hammer carried huge kinetic energy and struck the soft iron ingot fiercely, causing the elliptical iron ingot to collapse immediately.The forging hammer kept falling, and sparks flew everywhere. The blacksmith held the iron pliers to stir the iron ingot and constantly adjusted the focus of the forging hammer. In a short time, the original iron ingot became a thin rectangular iron sheet with concave and convex arcs. .

The blacksmith felt the thickness of the iron sheet, removed it in satisfaction, and replaced it with another iron ingot to continue beating...

Another blacksmith took the large iron sheet, hammered holes in the four corners of the iron sheet with a high-hardness steel drill, threaded it with thin leather, and connected it with the previous patch of similar shape.

A soldier next to him had been standing there long ago, allowing the blacksmith to pick up the two pieces of iron and put them on his body...it immediately became a pair of armor.

It's just that this armor is different from the previous fish-scale armor or Mingguang armor. The front and back are a complete iron plate. The protection is not weak, but the flexibility is much worse.

Among the more than 100 craftsmen, half of them are blacksmiths. The blacksmiths forge the iron, and the rest help. Convex, wide or narrow, each is molded according to the drawings in front of it, with a clear division of labor and extremely fast speed.

On the other side, Fang Jun, together with Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan, assembled iron sheets of various shapes and put them on a war horse that kept snorting.

"Master Hou, it's just... really... God-man!" Liu Rengui looked at the full vest on the horse, and then looked back at the knight who was all equipped with iron armor, and couldn't think of any words to express his heart The shock!
Liu Renyuan next to him had twinkling eyes, looking at Fang Jun with astonishment!
How did Hou Ye grow his brain?

How could you come up with such an easy way to make a full set of heavy cavalry armor just after sleeping?

Fang Jun kept aloof throughout the whole process, making people feel more and more unpredictable...

But in my heart I am very proud.We were shocked by this?Hehe, what a prick, it's just a simplified and shrunken version of European plate armor...

Cavalry equipped with armor such as fish scale armor are called "armored cavalry". There is no reason for cavalry equipped with plate armor, right?
The upper body of the plate armor is the main body, called the breastplate, and the front chest and back are a whole plate.On the arm, there are two boards, the upper arm board and the lower arm board, connected by the elbow joint, and it is not a whole tube. The focus is on the front and there is a gap in the back.The lower body is divided into several parts. The thighs, calves, knees, and insteps have protective plates respectively, but there are no protective plates on the inner side of the thighs, behind the buttocks, and above the knee bends, because if these places are equipped with protective plates, it is impossible to ride a horse, and there is no protective plate. The law is active.

Plate armor has been deified by many people, saying that it is invulnerable. In fact, there are as many disadvantages as advantages, and it is not difficult to make.The key difficulty is the quality of the iron material and the hydraulic forging hammer.Without high-quality iron materials, it is difficult to create parts with perfect curvature, and without a hydraulic forging hammer... If you rely on manpower, you will be tired and vomiting blood, and you will not be able to punch out the two pieces of iron on the front and back of the chest!
Of course, it is impossible for Fang Jun to create a perfect plate armor under urgent circumstances. The rough edge of the iron plate will cut himself from time to time. The shape is uneven...

Use one word to describe the plate armor that was built: ugly!
However, it is more than enough to face the Shanyue people and the dead soldiers of the major families.The crossbowmen pose little threat to the armored cavalry, and the dead soldiers of the major families, no matter how powerful they are, cannot resist the charge of the armored cavalry.As long as there is no heavy armored infantry, Fang Jun's simple and shrunk version of the armored cavalry is invincible. In fact, there are few organized heavy armored infantry in this Tang Dynasty.

Fang Jun believes that as long as three days are given, he can equip more than 50 armored cavalry, which is enough to crush the enemies at the foot of the mountain!

In fact, Fang Jun's troops have always relied on their equipment advantages to crush the enemy, and thus won.In the two wars, the Turkic wolf cavalry finally won by relying on the powerful power of firearms and surprise. Now facing the coalition forces composed of Shanyue people and soldiers sent by major families, the plate armor has become a fierce and unexpected existence...
