Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 209 Let's Wrestle!bully!

This time, Wang Hou brought a lot of things. He brought almost all the output of the Rizhao ironworks one and a half months after its completion. The conventional weapons of this era include more than 2000 willow-leaf spears and more euphorbias. , a total of [-] swords, and [-] mouths of ring swords. More importantly, Wang Hou promised Zang Ba's heavy armor that he brought [-] collars.

However, there are four models of this armor. There is a whole piece of metal plate pressed under the cast iron mold, and a large plate armor breastplate is smashed out with a water hammer. This armor is the easiest to build and also has the largest number. Yes, there are six hundred collars.

Then Wang Hou's personal army is now equipped with two hundred collars of heart mirror and lobster armor similar to the equipment of the ancient Roman army.

The chain mail has one hundred collars. This thing is made of steel wires that have been pulled out to form iron rings one by one, and then weaved by the most dense eight-ring buckle method.

This thing is too complicated to build!An additional 20 blacksmith apprentices were drawn out and worked alone for more than [-] days before they were made and brought. Just when Wang Hou was so depressed that he wanted to give up this thing, he sewed new clothes for him and came in to measure his figure. Ji Leng suddenly reminded him that the chain mail doesn't need to wield a heavy hammer to make it like a board armor, it needs patience, and women can also help make it!
He has more than 2 residents in Rizhao City, with only 1 adult males, plus the additional specially recruited soldiers and Taishan bandits, and more than [-] women. In fact, Wang Hou did not make good use of this part of his manpower, after all. Carrying, building, ironing, etc. are heavy jobs, and women's strength is useless, so they can only be allowed to be housewives. They have just done housework, helping to move less bricks, coal, cement and so on.

After the latrine was opened, he recruited more than [-] women to form a chain armor production workshop. He didn't even use an additional workshop for remanufacturing. He took it out of the blacksmith workshop every day, burned it, leaked it through the holes, and cooled it quickly to make it These women took the scissors and pliers and returned home leisurely. In the remaining five days, they gave him [-] sets of chain mail, or chain mail with shoulders and waist protection.

This thing replaced the previous lath armor in the late Roman period, and it was equipped in large quantities by almost all Western countries in the long Middle Ages. Although in terms of defense and weight, Wang Houwang is not as good as the simplest stamped plate armor, the victory is in the The fit and dexterity of movement, the kind of ring armor that imitated the Romans created by him at first, after actual combat, some soldiers have reported that it is difficult to wear and not flexible in movement. Chain mail is likely to become a substitute for lath armor, so Wang Hou left One hundred collars, only one hundred collars were given to Zang Ba.

The remaining [-] collars are the traditional scale armor. The base is made of leather, and pieces of armor are sewn on it with iron wires. However, compared with the Hanzha armor of this era, Wang Hou's new armor layer The layers are intertwined, and the density has doubled, but the weight has also doubled, which can be called heavy armor!
Wang Hou had no good intentions in giving Zang Ba four types of armor. He purely used Zang Ba's troops as experimental products to test which armor was in the middle of weight, protection and dexterity, and chose the best armor. Suitable for that model, and then equip your own troops on a large scale.

However, it is naturally impossible for Zang Ba to know that Wang Hou has such a flamboyant stomach. Not to mention his gratitude, he even personally put on the set of double heart mirrors that Wang Hou specially made for him, imitating the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty. The leather pierced the armor, the heavy feeling, the rattling sound, Zang Ba vigorously performed a set of unknown punches, and then he took a deep breath and nodded in admiration.

"Good armor! Good armor! There is armor given by the state shepherd, and the general will gallop on the battlefield, and he will be able to feel like a fish in water again!"

"Haha, as long as the general likes it! There are still a few gadgets, please pay attention to the general! This is a steel crossbow. To tell you the truth, this crossbow is not as effective as the standard crossbow in the army, but it is easy to make. This time I brought a thousand for the general! Try first to see if it goes well!"

As expected of a Titan of Mount Tai, Wang Hou was able to pull the steel crossbow by stepping on it. This Zang Ba pulled the crossbow with one hand and pulled the string with the other. Qi Zhuzi shot the arrow with a bang, and with a bang, a few inches of triangular crossbow arrows were firmly nailed inside.

"It's not as good as the powerful crossbows in the army, but there are as many as one thousand, and they are worth using!"

Holding the crossbow, Zang Ba commented pertinently as a very old driver, especially his sentence was as many as a thousand words, which should have entered Wang Hou's heart.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the crossbow equipment rate of the Han army was said to have reached about 30.00%. The main social strata were gradually replaced by big landlords and big families. The social wealth was somewhat similar to that of the late Ming Dynasty.

This trend became more obvious at the end of the Han Dynasty when the aristocratic family rose. Yuan Shao’s general Qu Yi, who was the first to enter the camp under his command, was famous for his powerful crossbow. The general Tibetan crossbow is managed by Wang Hou, and Xu Du's arsenal has only [-] strong crossbows. In this case, Zang Ba is now given [-] strong crossbows. Even if it is weaker, he is not happy that Bai Ya is already determined. !
"There is another good thing, please move to the school field, General!"

This one was a surprise enough, but Wang Hou still showed off like this, which really aroused Zang Ba's interest completely. He put down the steel crossbow, and bowed heavily.

"State shepherd, please!"

…………

What kind of master and subordinate is he really? Wang Yuan was an honest and simple man, but under Wang Hou's hands he was also led into a firefight. Under his furious gesticulations, there were about fifty Taishan thieves sweating profusely, their hands Assembling something in a panic, seeing the four wheels pressed heavily on the ground, even if he was mentally prepared, Zang Ba's heart still couldn't help beating violently, and he was stunned for a few seconds , he turned around abruptly and asked Wang Hou with an extremely heavy breath.

"Zhou Mu, this is... Hui Hui Pao?"

"Of course!"

The prestige of Huihui Pao, as Guandu Yuan Shao's hegemony was shattered, is also known all over the world, especially in the battle of Cangting, once again breaking Yuan's [-] army, even Zang Ba's face changed when he heard about it. How could there be such a big killer!Excited, Zang Ba even held his fists in a gaffe, and bowed deeply to Wang Hou.

"The state herd has so much trust and great trust, and I wish that the state herd will follow the lead and do the best for the state herd!"

Hearing this, Wang Hou once again showed a strong smile on his old gloomy face.

Of course, he is not that naive, this small favor can really make Zang Ba and Zhao Yun become his gold medal fighters, let him go wherever he goes, even if the old iron Chen Deng and him are still separated by the Guangling Chen family Woolen cloth!What's more, Zang Ba is the thief.

But with his words, it is still possible to mobilize Zang Ba's Taishan Army to do something. With a smile on his face, Wang Hou also saw it!With a look of indifference, he said with a big smile.

"General Zang is serious!"

"But now that the general has this sharp weapon, don't you want to find a fat sheep to try the blade? It seems that Zhucheng County is very good! Just before this new year's day, the general will get some holiday benefits for his subordinates. What does the general think of presenting a gift to the prime minister?"

As expected, he was indeed the leader of the thieves, and what he said just now was indeed nonsense. In this excited mood, he stopped to think for two or three seconds, and then he happily punched Wang Hou back.

"Ba Gong invites the State Shepherds Association to hunt in Zhucheng!"

"General Zang's kindness, how dare you ignore the general's kindness! Haha!"
