Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Li Wangyou felt that after he traveled to Great Tang, this sentence was a bet, and it almost became his own mantra.

But I can’t blame him for this. Who makes the Chinese gamble?

In addition, what he said is often questioned, so Li Wangyou doesn’t mind betting on such things to gain a little bit for himself.

For example, use Hundred Refinements steel to build armor, although he can also force Yan Liben to take out Hundred Refinements steel to build it. But since Yan Liben doesn’t believe his own words, then make an irrelevant bet with him, so that Yan Liben can willingly take out the Hundred Refinements steel and build these thirteen sets of armor for him, why not?

Li Wangyou will naturally have confidence in making such a bet.

The iron armor forged from Hundred Refinements steel was stronger than he expected. The iron armor with a thickness of only one millimeter can actually make Niu Wu’s strong bow return without success at a distance of fifty steps, which is enough to show how strong it is.

Secondly, Li Wangyou is confident about the composite protection concept of body armor for later generations.

Although Great Tang manufacture does not produce the Kevlar fiber of later generations of body armor, silk can also play a similar role.

When the Mongolian cavalry swept the Eurasian continent, their Suicide Squad cavalry battalion Baru camp, before each battle, they wrapped their bodies tightly with layers of silk. Wrap it in tight and meticulous silk layers and treat it as a “soft armor” to reduce the damage caused by the arrow feathers.

The first body armor in the world was also made by a tailor in the UK after the Industrial Revolution, and it was made of coated silk manufacture.

With the cowhide lining, this hard, soft, and tough three-layer armor is compounded together. Li Wangyou doesn’t believe it, but it can be shot through by Niu Wu’s bow and arrow.

Yan Liben and Niu Wu, who are on the sidelines, don’t think so.

Yan Liben has carefully looked at the iron armor that was shot with a small hole by Niu Wu’s strong bow. He thought that Niu Wu could shoot a hole when he was 50 steps away. If it was 20-30 steps, how could the iron armor be? The reason for not shooting through?

What if the inner lining adds cowhide?

Tang Army standard thirteen armors, including leather armors.

Great Tangs leather armor is made of multiple layers of leather, which are mostly made of rhino, shark and other leather. Compared with metal armor, leather armor has the advantage of being lighter and cheaper. But for the defensive power of bows and arrows, the effect is not good.

The multi-layered leather can’t stop the arrow feathers. What kind of silk and cowhide did the teacher say about the arrow feathers shot by the Ershi strong bow?

As for the silk that Li Wangyou said, what the hell is that?

In the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, there are silk armors.

The armor made of silk cloth has a beautiful appearance, but it does not have any defensive effect. It is just the general clothing or ceremonial clothing.

So, Yan Liben would naturally not think that silk and leather on the back of the iron armor can resist bows and arrows. Isn’t that a joke?

Although Yan Liben also admitted that the iron armor made of Hundred Refinements steel is indeed much harder than the iron armor pieces of the Tang Army standard armor, but the thought of making a pair of armor requires dozens of Yan Liben felt distressed for the heavy Hundred Refinements steel.

even more how, his own teacher made these armors, not to go to battle to kill the enemy, but to use them as a “costume”, such an extravagant behavior, he naturally couldn’t bear it.

If we can take advantage of the opportunity of betting with the teacher to save this batch of Hundred Refinements steel, of course it is a good thing.

Thinking of this, the nodded of Yan Liben without the slightest hesitation replied: “Okay, this bet is against the teacher, the teacher can speak and count!”

Niu Wu I shook my head, feeling that my Master was too confident, and I was afraid that I would lose the bet with Yan Liben.

Li Wangyou chuckled: “Liben, you lose, get ready Hundred Refinements steel to build armor for the division.”

Yan Liben didn’t answer, and immediately ordered someone to The craftsmen recruited and began to reform the iron armor as Li Wangyou said.

The extremely thin silk and silk were tightly stacked on the back of the iron armor layer by layer by the craftsman. Between each floor silk and silk, they were all painted with a layer of paulownia paint in accordance with Li Wangyou’s instructions.

Afterwards, I found the hard cowhide, wrapped it in silk, and rivets the cowhide and the iron armor tightly.

The thickness of the reformed iron armor has increased a lot. But neither Niu Wu nor Yan Liben felt that this would cause any trouble.

“Master, the iron armor is done as you ordered. Let’s try it now?” Yan Liben can’t wait to let his little master eat it, but he is very happy to comment. Arrived.

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes and planned to insure his bet.

“Okay, Liben, you can ask someone to find a pig.”

“Pig?” Yan Liben didn’t understand what Li Wangyou meant.

Li Wangyou as it should be by rights nodded: “Tie this iron armor to a pig. If Niu Wus arrow can shoot through the iron armor and shoot the pig to death, it will naturally be regarded as a teachers loss. If you cant shoot, hehe, Liben, you can go and build armor for the teacher.”

The sly plan he played was to use the pig skin and thick fat layer, Add a little more trouble to Arrow Feather.

Li Wangyou believes that even if the arrow feathers shot by Niu Wu can penetrate the obstacles of iron armor, silk and cowhide, it is impossible to have greater penetration through the obstacles of pig skin and fat layer. .

Yan Liben hearing this, opened his mouth, always felt that something was wrong, but couldn’t say anything to refute it.

The role of armor is naturally to protect the safety of the armored person.

If you are 20-30 steps away and shoot an undead armored pig with arrow feathers, it seems that it can prove the super defensive power of the iron armor… But the bet between myself and the teacher does not seem to be the case?

“Master, the bet you made with me seems to be just a bet on whether the arrow feathers can shoot through the iron armor…” Yan Liben said depressed.

Li Wangyou doesnt care that many, he said with a strong word: “If the arrow feathers can’t shoot an armored pig, how can it be considered to have shot through the iron armor? Liben, the armor is to protect the armored man. This is Very rigorous things, no fraud!”

Yan Liben was blushed by his old face when he said this. He knew what was wrong, but didnt know how to answer, so he could only bow to Li Wangyou, expressing his acceptance. Taught.

Niu Wu was also dumbfounded at the side. His own Master is really shameless. Isn’t this a show of bullying Yan Liben? Honestly?

How thick is the pig skin? Is it comparable to humans?

He and his brother Niu Yong often go hunting in the Qinling Mountains. They usually encounter wild boars in the mountains and are unwilling to provoke them. Skin is rough, flesh is thick stuff, a few arrow feathers pierce in, not only can not shoot, but also often arouse the ferocity of wild boar.

Although domestic pigs are not as difficult to provoke as wild boars, they are not easily killed by a few feather arrows.

Niu Wu naturally wouldn’t expose his Master’s careful thoughts. He just glanced at Yan Liben with sympathy, and bet with his Master that he might lose again.

In the valley where Cuiwei Palace is located, naturally there is no pig.

Li Wangyou made a special trip to let the guards in the mansion, ran back to Dingzhou Village on horseback, and got back a fat pig of about 200 Jin.

The poor fat pig who became an archery target, without knowing what happened, was led to the archery target and tied up. The special iron armor was also tightly tied to Fat Pig’s side by the craftsman.

Li Wangyou said with a smile: “Okay, Niu Wu, shoot. You can aim, dont shake your hand and shoot out of the armor, even if you shoot the pig, you can Don’t count.”

Niu Wu silently rolled the eyes, disinclined to pay attention to Li Wangyou’s ridicule.

He can accurately hit the armor from a hundred steps away, even more how 20-30 steps away, he can shoot with his eyes closed.

Niu Wu simply shoots a bow and arrow, and shoots out with one arrow…
