Chapter 115 Han Jia and the Armor Sword After driving away the five commanders, Li Zhen turned around and apologized: "Let the boss see the joke." ” "No, no, no, the minister thinks that these commanders are honest and cute, and full of vitality......
Hey, it's nice to be young.
Qiu He sighed: "The old man can't fight anymore now, so he can only count his days and earn a day." ” Why did "......" suddenly sigh?
Qiu He quickly reacted: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, when you are old, you have more feelings, which makes Your Highness smile." ” Li Zhen hurriedly relieved: "The old man should be strong and strong, so why should he feel nostalgic?
” "Thank you, Your Highness, forgiveness, by the way......
Come, bring our seizures.
Qiu He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and ordered, and immediately a personal soldier walked in with a plate.
Qiu He lifted the cloth on the plate, and what caught Li Zhen's eyes was a set of bloody armor.
"What is this?"
Li Zhen was shocked.
"Your Highness, please see, this is the equipment used in the jumping camp, we have worked hard and lost more than 20 people to kill his master and snatch the body.
Originally, we planned to study it ourselves to see if we could study a set of corresponding tactics, no matter since His Highness was going to fight against them, it was best to study the armor first. ” "This is Hanjia?"
Li Zhen first paid attention to the style of the armor, looking at the scales and patterns on it, it should be the style of the Western Han Dynasty, but the Western Han Dynasty has been almost eight hundred years away from now, and this armor is only ten years at most, which means ......
Qiu He said: "This is what the minister wants to tell His Highness, don't blindly burn and loot after entering Linyi, after all, Linyi is not far from us, and it is likely that there will be remnants of the ancestors living there."
Of course, what the minister wants is not for His Highness to save them, but for His Highness to pay attention to collecting technology, although the technology at that time may not be as strong as we are now, but after all, there is something to learn from. ” Li Zhen nodded: "This king understands, this king will pay attention." ” "Hmm~ It's very light."
After appraising the style of the armor, Li Zhen picked it up again and checked it, and found that the armor was very light, no more than fifteen catties at most.
"Although it is light, its defense is quite strong, please look at it, Your Highness."
Qiu He pointed to a dent and said: "This is what the warriors of our army left on him with horizontal knives, but unfortunately although we have exhausted our strength, we can only cut through the armor, and the flesh is only a little more than an inch, and finally we shot him in the eye with a bow and arrow, which killed him." ” "It's sturdy indeed, stronger than the armor forged in the arsenal."
Li Zhen said very honestly, having said that, there was no loss of points between the words.
Originally, the armor of the arsenal is produced on an assembly line, and it is won by quantity, and this armor is Seiko production at a glance, and it is won by quality, both of which have their own advantages, but in general, the quantity is still more advantageous, after all, the arsenal can produce hundreds of pairs of armor every day, which can be equipped to every soldier in Datang, while Seiko production can only be used by elites like the Jumping Battalion.
Besides, it's not that the arsenal can't make better armor, and the quality is definitely above it, but the gains outweigh the losses.
In the entire Tang Army, there are only a small number of general-level people who have such armor, which is the ten-year commemorative version that Li Zhen asked the arsenal to make when he was in Zhenguan for ten years, and only ninety-nine sets were made, which took nearly ten days in the armor department of the arsenal, and then Li Zhen never let people make it again.
"But this armor looks a little weird."
Unfolding the armor in its entirety, Du He said suddenly; "This doesn't look like infantry armor, look at this leg armor, it shouldn't be the same as the armor on the upper body, it's not harmonious at all."
Li Zhen said: "That's right, if this king didn't guess wrong, this should be the cavalry armor of the Western Han Dynasty, the cavalry armor is generally half-body armor, at most plus a skirt armor, and there are few leg armors."
The leg armor below should have been put on by the craftsman later, after all, the jumping battalion was infantry, and there was no armor to protect the lower body, which would only make people focus more attention on their lower body. ” Qiu He agreed: "Your Highness's analysis is good, this is the cavalry armor, and the leg armor is equipped with the back. ” "And weapons."
After speaking, Qiu He handed over a strange-looking knife.
Li Zhen took it and pulled it out, the blade of the knife was very short, only about ten centimeters, the whole was black, the knife surface was frosted, not reflective at all, very suitable for jungle combat.
However, this is not what attracts Li Zhen the most, what surprised Li Zhen the most was the shape of the knife: "Big dog legs?
No, no, it's not a big dogleg. ” Nepalese scimitar, commonly known as the big dog-legged scimitar or seven-eyed big dog-legged scimitar (if there are seven holes in the knife body), the shape of this knife is completely different from ordinary knives, the general knives are either straight edges, or the blade is turned outward, but the Nepalese scimitar is a recurve knife, that is to say, its overall blade is bent inward, just like a dog's legs, so it is nicknamed the big dogleg scimitar.
And the knife in Li Zhen's hand is also a recurved blade, which is very similar to the big dog leg in shape, so after seeing the shape of the knife body, Li Zhen exclaimed the big dog leg, but quickly reacted that this is not a big dog leg.
Because the curvature of this knife is even more amazing, almost 90 degrees, it looks more like a scythe, this shape gives the knife more powerful slashing power and armor-piercing ability, but completely abandons the knife's ability to stab and cut, this kind of extreme weapon is not advisable on the battlefield - unless there is a special way to use it.
Relatively speaking, the big dogleg scimitar is more reasonable, but the two should have a certain connection, and even this knife should be the prototype or one of the prototypes of the big dogleg scimitar.
"What big doglegs?"
Qiu He asked: "I heard from the prisoners we caught, this knife should be called Kaijia, it is the standard equipment of the jumping camp, almost everyone has one, but outside the jumping camp, no one has seen anyone use it, not even the generals of Linyi have used it, it should be the special equipment of the jumping camp."
"Perhaps."
Li Zhen put away this strange knife, and secretly regretted in his heart, he was really busy and dizzy, Nepalese scimitar is such an excellent knife, he didn't even think to get it out, and he even asked the enemy to remind him.
I must build it after I go back, this is an artifact of jungle warfare, whether it is fighting, or a surprise assassination, it is quite a remarkable weapon, I actually forgot it, what a pity, if I got it out earlier, today's youth army will be stronger, right?
Wait until you get back......
No, give an order now, let the arsenal quickly produce tens of thousands, and let the young army be equipped when they go back.
