Iron Dynasty

　　 There are many parts in a set of plate armor. With the help of the craftsman, Lu Fei successfully put on the plate armor.

　　 Putting on the helmet, Lu Fei now looks like a steel monster, walking around excitedly wearing plate armor.

　　 "Yes, very flexible." Lu Fei said excitedly: "I just don't know if this plate armor can withstand the sword."

　　 "This is not easy, Zhao Hu, go and give him a knife." Xiao Ming said.

　　 The cold sweat on Zhao Hu's forehead suddenly stayed, "His Royal Highness, this..."

　　 "What are you afraid of, let you come, mother-in-law, are you the soldier I brought out?" Lu Fei cursed.

Zhao Hu’s face turned black when he heard the words. He pulled out the steel knife on his waist and pointed it at Lu Fei’s abdomen. The knife was cutting on Lu Fei’s abdomen. Only a sound of metal rubbing was heard. Appeared

　　 There was a shallow mark cut by a knife. Although Lu Fei stepped back a few steps, he didn't suffer any injuries or even shouted pain.

　　 "Your Highness, I have nothing to do, come and give me a few more dollars." Lu Fei said excitedly.

　　 Zhao Hu was also surprised. At this time, he was relieved and bold, and he slashed at Lu Fei with a knife.

　　 Lu Fei backed away again and again, but it was still the same as the first one. After cutting for a long time, he only felt a slight pain.

　　 Zhao Hu became interested, and he kept hitting him one by one, until Lu Fei kicked him to the ground before he stopped.

"Smelly boy, I saw that my precious armor was ruined by you. It was all knife marks." Lu Fei said in pain, and then said to Xiao Ming with his face: "His Royal Highness, give me another set. You see this set for this kid. Chopped."

　　 Xiao Ming curled his lips, "This set of plate armor will cost at least thirty taels of silver. You dare to say it."

　　 "Thirty taels?" Lu Fei said in surprise, "This is my salary for one year."

Xiao Ming naturally scared Lu Fei and wanted him to cherish it. However, this plate armor must be forged using the previous forging method. It is really impossible to forge it without thirty-two taels. But now because of the hydraulic forging hammer, slaves are free. Plate armor is actually about the same price as a farm cow.

　　 "This is still small, but your armor is a general armor, and the thickness and carvings are different." Xiao Ming said.

　　 Lu Fei suddenly regretted his intestines, and looked at Zhao Hu viciously, "You pay!"

　　 Zhao Hu aggrieved: "You let me cut this. Besides, I have no money."

　　 Seeing Lu Fei's painful look, Xiao Ming stopped teasing him, but said: "Fine, for your merits in Cangzhou, this plate armor will give you three sets."

　　 "Thank you, your lord!" Lu Fei was overjoyed.

　　 Rubbing his whole body armor like a baby, Lu Fei said again: "His Royal Highness, this armor is really too powerful, it's invulnerable. Now you give me 10,000 soldiers equipped with plate armor, should we still be afraid of the barbarians?"

　　 "You can't talk nonsense about this." Xiao Ming looked serious. In order to avoid Lu Fei's arrogance, he said: "The plate armor is strong, but it will also reduce a little flexibility."

　　 Lu Fei moved a little, and said, "It's a bit, but it has little effect, mainly whether the bow and arrow can shoot through this plate armor."

"Ordinary cast iron arrows can't do it." Xiao Ming bluntly said that the forging technology used in his plate armor is basically equivalent to the modern seventeenth and eighteenth century. Without the corresponding special arrow, the damage to the plate armor will not be great. .

　　 In fact, even the early muskets couldn't penetrate the plate armor. Later, the power of the firearms continued to increase and the plate armor was eliminated.

　　 Xiao Ming now equips his army with plate armor only to deal with the situation in Dayu, and for the technology he has mastered, the production of plate armor is much faster than the production of scale armor, and the cost is much lower.

　　 That's why he chose plate armor.

　　 "Really?" Lu Fei's grin grew bigger, and he couldn't wait to put on the plate armor and go to war immediately.

　　 "This is only speculation at the moment, and how to test it can only be tested by war." Xiao Ming said, this is his truth, any equipment can only be distinguished from the good and the bad if it has experienced war.

　　 Lu Fei is now fascinated by Jingxian, and I don’t know if he has heard Xiao Ming’s words, and said: "His Royal Highness, I have taken these three hundred sets of plate armor back to the barracks."

　　 "Wait, what are you anxious about? There is still something here." Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the craftsman took a long-handled long-bladed weapon.

　　 "His Royal Highness, is this the Modao you said?" Lu Fei said.

　　 The last time Xiao Ming said that he would take him to see Modao, he always remembered this.

　　 "Yes, this is the Modao, specially used to deal with the heavy cavalry of the barbarian." Xiao Ming said.

　　 Nowadays, most of the grassland Manchus are light cavalry, but there are also many heavy cavalry. These are the elite of the barbarians. Generally, the barbarian combat basically uses the tactics of light cavalry on two wings and a level of heavy cavalry in the middle.

　　 This method of defeating the army of Dayu is basically unsolvable.

　　 Lu Fei picked up the Modao and pinched it, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this Modao is not light, it's 60 kilograms."

"So, if this kind of Moknife is slashed, it is enough to kill people and horses." Xiao Ming said. Moknives are all made of stainless steel. The handle is very long and resembles a spear head, but it is long and wide and very sharp. .

　　 Lu Fei rubbed the Mo sword in his hand and matched the plate armor. If this Mo sword was against the cavalry in battle, it would be a nightmare for the cavalry.

　　 In addition to Mo Dao, Steel Workshop also built many spears, swords and other weapons for the army~www.ltnovel.com~ For long-range weapons, he chose crossbows.

　　 Although the cost of crossbow manufacturing is high and the launch speed is low, for Xiao Ming, a qualified archer needs at least three years of training, which is too long.

　　In the war, soldiers are consumables. This is to compare who can quickly become an army. This is also the reason why guns became the mainstream of the war. One group died, and another group after three months.

　　This is the same with crossbows. Compared with bows and arrows, soldiers naturally do not need much strict training with crossbows. This is also suitable for the current fief situation.

　　 And he can improve the biggest drawback of ancient crossbows. Generally speaking, the reason why crossbows are inferior to bows and arrows is largely due to the cheating filling speed. This advantage is that even the initial firearms are completely exploded by bows and arrows.

　　 Crossbow was basically called a foot crossbow in ancient times, which means that the hands and feet can be used together to wind the crossbow, but Xiao Ming applied the pulley principle to the crossbow.

　　 This means that soldiers need less effort to operate the crossbow flexibly.

　　 At present, this kind of pulley crossbow is being developed and produced, and the steel mill has not yet produced it, but modern mature technology proves that it is feasible, and production is only a matter of time.

　　 took Lu Fei to look at the equipment in the army, and Lu Fei immediately sent someone to transport the weapons and equipment in the steel workshop back to the barracks.

　　 The current new army basically wears the clothes that they brought, which is no different from ordinary people. Taking these equipment back can finally give the soldiers hope.

Chen Wenlong and Xiao Ming looked helplessly at the bustling figure of Lu Fei. This is just the beginning. As the steel mill matures, the production of plate armor will become faster and faster, and his soldiers will never be embarrassed again.
