Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 218 Bicycle and Pedestrian A

"Ding system releases the first mission. Destroy the Chang'an Tumor Shangshui Gang. You can get the reward stepman map, because it is the first time to trigger the mission, and you will be rewarded with a bicycle sold in the mall!"

After listening to the system voice in his head, Li You felt a chill in his heart.

Li You still doesn't know anything about this system in his body, except that this system can help him travel to modern times and buy things in the mall, he doesn't know anything else.

But now, this system of his own can release tasks again. To be honest, Li You really has no choice but to adapt slowly. My own, mysterious and difficult to control.

Of course, Li You is quite satisfied with the rewards released by this mission.

The map of Burenjia Li Youguang is drooling just thinking about it. The best armor used in the Tang Dynasty is called Mingguang armor. Mingguang armor sounds nice, but it is actually iron armor. , a lot of armor is not iron.There are reasons for tactical needs and production capacity constraints.

More importantly, the manufacture of Mingguang armor is quite labor-intensive.The process is as follows: firstly, the iron is made into a piece of armor; after that, it is tapped, roughly ground, perforated, staggered, cut into pieces, staggered, and finely ground;

There is also a lining inside to prevent abrasion of the skin.According to the "Yanxi Style" volume 927 "Hyoko Liao" written by Japan after the Tang system for five years (49), it takes 192 to 265 working days to manufacture a pair of iron armor.Repairing a pair of armor requires 41 workers.

So it is not something that can be enjoyed by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who can wear Mingguang armor.

But this step of human armor is quite different. This step of human armor appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the "Wu Jing Zongyao", the Northern Song Dynasty step human armor is made of iron armor leaves connected by leather strips or nails, which is typical. Zhajia.Its protection range covers the whole body, and it is the closest Chinese armor to European heavy armor in terms of protection range.

According to Song Shaoxing's regulations for four years, stepper armor is composed of 1825 armor leaves, and generally weighs 58 Song Jin. At the same time, the number of armor leaves can be increased to improve the protection, but the weight will increase further.

For this reason, the emperor personally ordered that the infantry armor be limited to 29.8KG. After that, the armor weight of the spearman was set at 32-35KG; because the archer was often involved in melee combat, the armor was set at 28-33KG; The armor of the shooter is determined to be 22-27KG.The European infantry armor of the same period was still dominated by chain mail, which did not reach such a weight.

Ten years or so before and after Shaoxing was the most powerful period for the army of the Song Dynasty.Famous generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc., led the heavy infantry mainly equipped with iron armor, spears and crossbows, relied on trench fortresses in a dense formation, and armored cavalry repeatedly defeated the cavalry of the Jin Dynasty.

If Li You can make infantry armor and get a set of heavy armored infantry, to be honest, with this set of heavy armored infantry, even the strongest cavalry unit is no match for this heavy armored unit.

Back then, the weak army of the Southern Song Dynasty, after putting on the infantry armor, produced and equipped a large number of various broadswords.In the [-]th year of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty in Shaoxing, during the battle of Yancheng between the Song Army and the Jin Bing, Song General put the heavy infantry equipped with broadswords and axes on the two wings, effectively preventing the Jin Bing armored cavalry from attacking.

At that time, the basic tactics of using a broadsword to attack armored cavalry was to launch a long-range weapon first, and when the enemy was in close combat, use a broadsword to chop the weaker horse's legs, and then attack the cavalry.

Later, why the Song Dynasty still lost, mainly because although the Song Dynasty had such good equipment, but before the Kaixi Northern Expedition, some officials found that in the Song Army with more than 2 people, there were only 617 people who could wear it, which was comparable to the national football team. Physique, even if you don't wear infantry armor, you can't chase the enemy!
"Young Master, Shangshui help Jin Li to see you!"

After Yaoyu finished speaking, Cui Xiuniang on the side stopped beating the spinning top, turned around and cursed: "People from the Shangshui gang dare to come here, let her come here, let this girl beat them hard...!"

Cui Jue heard his younger sister's scolding, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and then he comforted him: "Well, Miss Li, don't be so impulsive, Mr. Li will take care of everything!"

"Hmph!" Cui Xiuniang hummed softly.

Afterwards, Li You smiled slightly and said, "Even if the two armies are fighting, they will not be killed, so please come in."

Yaoyu bowed slightly, and after a while, Jin Li from the Shangshui Gang was invited in. This Jin Li was about forty years old, dressed as a scribe, but he looked dignified, but it was a pity that this Jin Li On the corner of the mouth, there is a mole, which affects the appearance of the other party, otherwise it is 41 flowers that can be handed out.

"Little man Jin Li, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Qi!" Jin Li didn't hold back, but bowed respectfully.

"Get up, I'm no longer King Qi, I'm a commoner just like you, so there's no need to do this, let me tell you why you came here, did you come here to make an apology?"

"Apologize?" Jin Li was slightly surprised.

"You Shangshui gang caused troubles in Chang'an City, and even beat the people who went to the city to sell green pears. Shouldn't you apologize?" Li You's voice became cold.

"Your Highness, you can't live without rules. The West Market is managed by the Shangshui Gang. If you do business in the West Market, since you are protected by the Shangshui Gang, you will naturally have to pay protection fees!"

"Bastard...!" Li You slammed the glass in his hand on the ground, and the glass shattered with a bang.

Cui Jue's heart ached, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "At least one thousand guan!"

Li You scolded bitterly: "Who let you Shangshui gang manage this West City? Chang'an County, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, or Yushitai. No matter who it is, as long as they dare to speak, Li You will definitely be here today." Go to that Tai Chi Palace, even if Li You is no longer King Qi.

But Li You is also a member of the Li family of the royal family, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are the people of my Li family.

I want to see, which government dares to bully the people of the Li family! "

"This!" Jin Li was slightly stunned, and became anxious in his heart. He really didn't expect that Li You would say such words, and Jin Li didn't know how to answer them for a while.

Fortunately, Jin Li came prepared, and saw that Jin Li was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly took out something from his pocket.

"Flying money.!"

Cui Jue recognized what was in Jin Li's hand at a glance.

Then I heard Jin Li laughing and said: "Your Highness, in fact, I came here just to ask His Highness to save face for the Shangshui Gang, and the Shangshui Gang only needs His Highness to hand over the paralyzed father and daughter to us.

Here is [-] guan, please accept it with a smile, if this [-] guan is not enough. "

Jin Li then smiled again, took out a jade pendant from his body, handed it directly to Li You and said, "It can also be bet on His Highness, I don't know what His Highness thinks."

Seeing Yupei, Li You's expression sank: "You are actually his subordinates!"
