Da Wei Chun

Chapter 20 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
Li Chengzhi was a little excited: "If all the three hundred strong men in the family were put on full armor, how strong would their combat power be?"

"That's the three hundred soldiers!"

Li Bo thought about it for a while, and said with great certainty, "If there are enough bows and arrows, it will be enough to protect the more than [-] households of Lijiabao from Jingzhou safely."

"What about heavy cavalry with 300 men and horses?" Li Chengzhi asked again.

"Three hundred cavalry? Haha..."

Li Bo couldn't help laughing out loud: "Not to mention [-] chaotic people, even if there is another [-], the servant can break it..."

Three hundred to twenty thousand?
Li Chengzhi just wanted to say that Li Bo was bragging, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered an allusion.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin seemed to have relied on a thousand mysterious armies to defeat Dou Jiande's mixed army of [-] cavalry...

Do you want to make a few copies?
If it is hot and the ice wall has melted, and the chaos has not subsided, how can the safety of more than a thousand people in Lijiabao be guaranteed?
Even if you can't withdraw, at least you can hold on!

So don't talk about an extra pair of armor, even if you can create an extra arrow, you can also have a little more hope...

Just based on what Li Bo said, "I can ensure that more than [-] households in Lijiabao can be safely evacuated from Jingzhou", it must be built.

The technical aspect is basically not a problem. Although he can't forge armor, he can make steel.

As long as there is steel, the rest of the process, such as thinning, cutting, joining, etc., can be completed by just a few blacksmiths and strong men.

The only thing to worry about is where the ingredients come from.

After much deliberation, it seems that the only way is to mobilize all the villagers in Lijiabao to donate iron tools.

There are more than 200 villagers, and every family has hoes, shovels, sickles, and even iron pots and kitchen knives. It is no problem to gather four or five thousand catties of raw and wrought iron.

The rest depends on what armor to make.

The requirements for fish scale armor are too high, the process is too cumbersome, and the cost of iron materials is too much, which is definitely not realistic.

If it is replaced with Zhajia, or the shell is made larger, it is very simple, that is, the problem of exposed seams and knots is not easy to solve.

Well, it's not that it can't be solved, the armor can be covered with a layer of cowhide.At least it won't expose the seam of the armor, preventing the enemy from looking at the seam and digging into it.

But cowhide has become a big problem again. We can't kill all of Lijiabao's cattle, so what will we do in the future?
What about sheepskin?

If it really doesn't work, just change to linen or thin felt. I remember the cotton armor in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it seems that this is how it was made...

Li Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, as if a light flashed through his mind.

What kind of armor is made, and cotton armor is made directly?

Fewer materials are used, the process is simple, and even the leather rope is saved, which can solve the problem of exposed nail seams...

The only disadvantage is that it is too soft and the effect of anti-gravity hits is relatively poor.

But it's just a group of rioters. It's good to have a spear and a gun. It is estimated that most of them are using pitchforks and dung shovels. Where are the heavy weapons?
Alright, let's make this...

……

Such a big task of making armor is by no means something Li Chengzhi can do with the slightest touch of his tongue.

If Li Song could not be persuaded, he would not even be able to collect iron materials.

Hearing that Li Song had returned, Li Chengzhi quickly chased after him.

Seeing Li Chengzhi, Li Song's brows furrowed sharply: "Why does Langjun wear Zhajia, and Erlang's full armor?"

"Give it to Li Zhang, I don't have to charge..." Li Chengzhi replied casually.

Li Song's face suddenly sank.

In his consciousness, even if Li Zhang and Li Xianquan were killed in the battle, Li Chengzhi could not be allowed to have the slightest accident.

If this idea had not been deeply ingrained, he and Li Bo would not be the only ones left among his six brothers...

Just wanted to persuade a few words, but Li Song suddenly thought that the Langjun in front of him is no longer the old Langjun, and he can no longer train him as a fool.

What's more, it is of great significance for him to put Li Chengzhi on the wall to supervise the battle today: Li Chengzhi is the same as the head coach, and he who is in charge of the specific command is at most the deputy coach...

Of course, the purpose is to help Li Chengzhi to establish his prestige, but he can't have his prestige yet, and his own deputy will question the coach's decision first...

In a moment of embarrassment, Li Song didn't know what to say.

Seeing his tangled face, Li Chengzhi smiled inwardly, and his tone became more relaxed: "Wear such bright armor, do you want me to stand on the wall as a target?"

Li Song was a little dumbfounded.

It was clearly an act of kindness and righteousness, and it came out of Lang Jun's mouth, as if he was hiding evil intentions and deliberately wanted Li Zhang to die.

If you don't wear it, don't wear it. At most, Langjun will stand on the wall of the village to watch the battle, and he will never be affected by the war.

Besides, with himself and so many shield soldiers, how could it be possible to hurt Lang Jun with just a few chaotic people who can't even shoot a bow?

Li Song was both moved and nodded helplessly.

"Well, I have something to tell you..."

Li Chengzhi took him two steps away: "I want to make armor..."

Armor?

Li Song's face changed slightly.

How did Lang Jun think that one came out?
Armor making is not about making ice walls. You can use local materials and teach them whatever you want, and everyone can learn it.

Otherwise, a pair of Zhajia will not be as expensive as three years' worth of [-] mu of fertile land.

"How?" Li Song looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm here again, what did I tell you the other day?" Li Chengzhi looked at Li Song with a sullen face, "Of course it's made of iron, how else can it be made?"

It's not that he doesn't want to explain, and it's not something that can be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

If there is enough time, he can also step by step and use the existing methods of frying steel and pouring steel to make steel.

But it only takes more than a month to make a full calculation, and there are only a few blacksmiths in Lijiabao, and the weather is hot and cold, not to mention hundreds of pairs. If he can make ten pairs of armor, it depends on whether God will give him face.

So Li Chengzhi decided to do it in one step: use a crucible to directly turn iron into molten steel...

This is completely a blow to dimensionality reduction. It is estimated that Li Chengzhi talked about one day and one night, and Li Song could not understand why.

And he couldn't explain where he got it from.

The operation can be pushed to Hua Tuo, the ice wall can be pushed to Cao Cao, who else can this steelmaking be pushed to?

It is estimated that there is no excuse for smashing the "Three Kingdoms".

Anyway, since the treatment of Hu Baozong, his fox tail has been unable to hide, and he is not worried about the debt, and it is not bad this time...

Li Chengzhi lowered his voice: "I have a way to make armor quickly. I am lucky. It is not impossible to make dozens or hundreds of armors in a month, but the premise is that you have to help me!"

In a month's time, can you make hundreds of Zhajia?

Li Song's heart shrank violently, and he took a deep breath: "How can the servant help?"

Li Chengzhi replied: "First, you need to collect iron materials, no matter how much you can collect from cast iron and wrought iron, iron pot kitchen knives... The second is people. I only have one pair of hands, so I definitely need help, but I don't need to remind you. Clearly, based on our existing conditions, what is the concept of making [-] armors in one month, so we must keep as much confidentiality as possible, and the people who are assigned to me must be as loyal as they can be..."
