Great Song Pirate

Chapter 374
The armor style of the two guards in front of everyone is obviously different from the armor style of the Song Army on land. One of them is wearing a full leather armor. The whole armor is divided into three pieces and combined. The chest and abdomen as a whole provided a complete protection, and a skirt was also formed in front of the thighs. The overall defense area was quite large. The whole leather armor was painted black, which looked very mighty and abnormal.

The second piece of armor looks a bit weird. Except for the whole body above the shoulders, which is made of a whole piece of iron, the rest of the armor is composed of pieces of armor made up of bags sewn from canvas. It is very convenient to wear. After the hood is put on, the side of the waist is buckled with a belt. It is much more convenient than the stepping armor and mirror armor of the Song Dynasty that they used to see. After painting it black, the overall look and feel It's also quite good, but everyone still doesn't know the real defense ability of this weird armor.

The helmets worn by the two are exactly the same in shape and are made of a whole piece of steel. The two ears and the back of the head have a relatively large defensive area. And if people of later generations see this helmet, they will definitely vomit blood and die on the spot, because these two helmets are simply replicas of the famous M35 and M40 helmets in later generations in Germany, but the back of the head is extended a bit, increasing the impact on the neck. The protective area of ​​this helmet is very different from the infantry helmet of the Song Army. After seeing it, everyone thinks it is very weird, but they think this helmet seems to be very good.

Xu Yi got up and reached out to take a stringed machine crossbow from Li Bo's hand. He raised his hand and shot an arrow at the bodyguard covered in cloth bags, which startled everyone. Behind the guard, there was a ding sound, and then fell to the ground. When everyone looked at the crossbow again, they saw that the sharp clusters of the crossbow had been deformed, but the guard was unscathed. stand there.

Without Xu Yi's further explanation, everyone immediately understood the powerful defensive ability of this strange armor, and immediately cheered loudly.

"This is the cloth bag armor created by our Fubo army. It is sewn from canvas as a whole, filled with uniformly made armor pieces, and lined with leather. The whole armor weighs 35 kilograms. Whether it is cavalry or infantry All of them can be equipped, and the leather armor is made of the whale skin we obtained. After the special tanning process of the cobblers, the leather is very tough, even compared to raw cowhide, and the total weight is only ten catties Left and right, and the shoulders and chest of this kind of armor are divided into two layers of reinforcement. Although the defense is not as good as the bag armor, there is no problem in defending against flow arrows. Layer structure, with air left inside, even if the person falls into the water, the head of the person who falls into the water will not be drowned, so this kind of leather armor will be equipped in large numbers for the brothers in the navy, and this kind of cloth bag armor will become our future The standard equipment of the Fubo infantry, and this kind of helmet is different from the iron helmet on land. Most of the iron helmets of the Song Army are cast, heavy and brittle, and this kind of helmet is made of a whole piece of steel, which is very simple to make Needless to say, after a controlled test, this helmet is lighter and has better defensive power! After our rolling mill is put into production in the future, this helmet will be put into production in large quantities and become the unified equipment of our Fubo army. This is to protect the head It's an excellent artifact!" Xu Yi walked to the two guards and explained to the crowd, pointing to the armor on their bodies.

After listening to Xu Yi's introduction, there was a lot of noise among the crowd. Before, none of their tribes were equipped with armor. With these two armors, there is no doubt that there is another layer of protection for the brothers, although there are not many of them. They are people who are afraid of death, but no one thinks that they are invulnerable, and they are naturally willing to use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's sword. Everyone knows that this is Xu Yi's concern for their brothers, and each of them secretly feels grateful in their hearts. Affection.

Xu Yi took a helmet buckle on his head and knocked it twice, then smiled and said: "Actually, this kind of helmet has another advantage. It can be hung up and used as a pot when necessary, so that you don't have to eat it when you are marching and fighting outside." Hot meal!"

So everyone laughed again, and took the helmets that Li Bo and the others sent over and put them on their heads to try them on. Then they discovered another advantage, such helmets are flat and low, and the benefits brought The center of gravity is moved down, and it feels more comfortable to wear. The force on the neck is not too great, and it basically does not affect the movement of the head. It is a very good design.

While they were still looking at these two kinds of armor, a group of soldiers began to bury a large number of thick wooden targets in the open space in front of them. Everyone knew that there might be a display of weapons below, so they all stretched their necks and waited. Watching the show, Xu Yi looked at the completion of laying the wooden targets, and after the soldiers had evacuated the open space, he said to everyone: "Next, everyone should be mentally prepared, because what we will show you next will be what you will see next." A weapon that was unheard of before, let me first show you the god arm crossbow made by Mr. Yang himself. This kind of crossbow can take the life of a general within [-] steps, it is like picking something out of a bag, it is extremely accurate, and it is absolutely perfect to ambush the enemy general. Make the opponent hard to guard against!"

As soon as his words fell, two personal guards rushed into the arena carrying a large crossbow. The two cooperated to string the large crossbow, loaded it with special crossbow arrows, and fell on the ground carefully. After aiming for a while, and then slightly triggering the trigger, the crossbow shot straight out like a shooting star. Everyone hurriedly followed the crossbow and looked into the distance, only to see a wooden target [-] steps away was shaken heavily. , The crossbow arrows penetrated straight into the bull's-eye, almost exactly. What is frightening is the terrifying penetration of this kind of god-armed crossbow. At such a long distance, it still penetrates an inch-thick wooden target. The arrow man is wearing heavy armor, and I am afraid that he will never be spared. Such an effect makes these people smack their tongues secretly. No wonder Xu Yi is the first to show them this thing. If the army is equipped with more of this god arm crossbow, then It has really become a nightmare for the opponent's generals!

After the two personal guards finished shooting, they immediately left the venue quickly with the crossbow on their shoulders, and then a few soldiers unloaded a square wooden box from the cart, placed it in front of everyone, and opened the wooden box. On the front cover, dense clusters of arrows were exposed, which made people feel their scalps tingling, but most of them didn't know what this wooden box used to launch these arrows, so they all turned their attention to Xu Yi again. .

"This thing is called the Hundred Tigers Running Arrow. There is also a 32-pack that will not be displayed today. This kind of arrow is propelled by gunpowder and can be fired without a bowstring. It can be fired all at once. Look at it. Let's go!" Xu Yi explained to everyone present.

With a big wave of Xu Yi's hand, a personal guard immediately ignited the main fuse in the box, and then everyone saw that the box was filled with smoke, and those arrows with dazzling flames made a shrill whistle and rushed out. The wooden box pulled out trails of smoke in the sky and flew towards the distance. When a hundred rockets were launched at the same time, this scene was terrifying. The surroundings of the wooden box were suddenly surrounded by thick smoke. It is also powerful and shocking. People who see this kind of rocket for the first time are frightened. If a rocket of this density is used on the battlefield, what effect will it produce? These people are not fools, they can use their toes Imagine the consequences, this kind of thing is definitely a sharp weapon against the charge of local groups, no one doubts that.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Xu Yi coughed and smiled to everyone: "What do you think of this kind of thing? I feel that the smoke was a bit too big when it was launched! But don't even think about using this thing for now, this kind of thing It is the killer weapon I prepared for the infantry, but in our fleet, I will equip you with a large number of single vertical rockets and launch them with a bow. It is mainly used to increase the range and burn down the opponent's sails, etc. The effect is also quite good! "

At the beginning, when Xu Yi said that he would not equip the fleet with this kind of Hundred Tigers Running Arrows, Water Cat and the others were immediately displeased, but later when Xu Yi said that they could equip them with a single vertical rocket, they became quiet. Come down, something is better than nothing!With Xu Yi's promise, these guys gave up the idea of ​​preparing to protest, and sat down expectantly. However, Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun were the happiest of all. Gao Jun had seen this kind of beehive The power of rockets has long been described to Yang Zaixing. Both of them are shrewd people. They have long realized the power of this kind of honeycomb rockets. They have even used this kind of thing before. After discussion, they came up with some ways to use it. Now that they have Xu Yi's guarantee, the two of them are completely relieved. It seems that at least this powerful thing can't get out of their palms!The two guys sat in the crowd and grinned happily, almost laughing out loud!

Just after the demonstration of the honeycomb rocket, several guards unloaded a few strange-shaped objects from the car and placed them in front of everyone. They first set up a shelf with grooved steel rails on the open space. This kind of shelf can move up and down and adjust the angle, and then they moved a few black round-headed tubular objects with three tails from the car, erected them on the grooved steel rails, and took a cover from the back of the tubular objects , a lead wire was pulled out from the middle, and it was ready for ignition.

Several people who have seen this thing immediately became nervous. Xu Yi made a lot of oolongs with this thing before, almost blowing themselves out several times. God knows if Xu Yi will make this guy again this time. There is another on-the-spot mutiny. The most important leaders of the Fubo Army are concentrated here. If one of them flies back and lands in their own crowd, then their senior generals of the Fubo Army will be wiped out. Think about what happened before. A few insiders felt their scalps tingling, but after seeing Xu Yi's confident appearance, they were somewhat relieved, staring at Xu Yi, waiting for him to speak.

"This is the Katyusha rocket we developed half a year ago! Some of you have already seen the power of this thing, but don't worry this time, these guys are all improved products made by Yang Laoxi and the others after half a year of exploration. , won’t turn around and fly back to blow us up, let’s take a look first before discussing it! Light it up!” Xu Yi stood not far from the rocket launcher and said to everyone in order to dispel everyone’s concerns.

Following his order, a personal guard immediately ignited the fuses of these rockets, and the fuses made a chirping sound. After burning out with smoke, the rockets immediately roared, and a burst of fire spewed out from their buttocks. The dust on the ground sprayed up Lao Gao, and then rose up from the ground with a huge roar, dragging a puff of smoke and immediately drew smoke trails in the air, and flew out into the distance, everyone immediately set up awnings to follow The smoke trail of the rocket looked into the distance, and the clever people immediately raised the binoculars in their hands and brought them close to their eyes.

When those rockets burned out the triggering agent, they stabbed down heavily, and then exploded several miles away, making a thunderous explosion, and the smoke and dust they raised rose into the sky, startling everyone. Gazing at the thick smoke in the distance, I don't know what to say!
After a long time, everyone shouted: "My God! This thing is so powerful! How can it fly so far? Haha! It's amazing! It's really amazing!"

If the honeycomb rocket just now surprised everyone, then this Katyusha will definitely shock everyone!Most of them saw this thing for the first time, and they all stood up and applauded loudly. Many of them had the same thought, their master is definitely a genius, and he actually made such a powerful thing with gunpowder. How many murder weapons can Xu Yi produce?

Daniel quietly took a step back from Xu Yi's side. He was prepared just now. If these Katyushas rebelled halfway, he was going to throw Xu Yi to the ground immediately and say nothing. Let Xu Yi not be in danger. After seeing that several Katyushas landed in the target area smoothly, he was completely relieved. At any rate, this launch was a success, and there was no danger. He had already I was terrified by this crazy thing!

When everyone quieted down, Xu Yi smiled at them: "This Katyusha is a large rocket, but a small thunderbolt that can explode is installed on the front end. This kind of thing is very useful for long-distance use, but the accuracy There is no guarantee at present. It can only be used to attack large targets such as cities or camps. If it is used on a ship, you must pay attention to fire prevention. If you accidentally set your ship on fire! So it is not yet possible to equip a navy , but it is definitely a sharp weapon for attacking camps when used on land! It seems that this thing is going to disappoint you again. This guy is still an infantry soldier. , the power is not too great, but it is important to be able to catch people by surprise, and immediately run away after hitting, making the enemy hard to guard against, how to use it, I think it is better for Zaixing and Gao Jun to think about it!"

Xu Yi's words immediately discouraged the generals of the navy. They can see whether such a good thing can be used. Isn't this sincerely making fun of them!Fortunately, Xu Yi's next words brought them back to their psychological balance again.

"Because of the poor accuracy of this kind of rocket, it is too wasteful to use it at sea. What we will see next will become our absolute weapon to dominate the sea. With this thing, at least we can guarantee that the sea will be absolutely dead within a hundred years." There is no opponent at all, everyone, please look at our Thunder Cannon!" Xu Yi said loudly, waving his hand vigorously.

As soon as his words fell, ten personal guards immediately lifted the tarpaulin of a car, revealing a faint green bronze tube from underneath. This bronze thing was polished from top to bottom. Clean as a mirror, it exudes a cold light under the sunlight. Its body is tapered and gradually thickens from the mouth. Although it was the first time they saw such a thing, everyone was immediately attracted by this thing that Xu Yi called Lei Gongpao.

The ten personal guards cooperated tacitly and pushed the Lei Gong Cannon to the front of an earthen platform, quickly leveled the slope behind, and then took out a cloth bag from the box prepared next to it in an orderly manner, and used the push rod to push the cloth bag Push it out into the gun bore, and after punching it hard, then forcefully stuffed a piece of log as thick as the muzzle into the gun bore and pressed the cloth bag tightly, and then filled a heavy bag again. They were tinkering with something. When the filling was completed, someone immediately inserted an awl into a small hole in the rear of the gun, and then filled it with a goose quill. A personal guard immediately turned around and reported loudly to Xu Yi: " I report to my lord, the Leigong Pao shotgun has been reloaded!"

"The target group one mile in front of the target, let it go!" Xu Yi pointed to a group of wooden targets placed one mile away and ordered loudly.

"Yes!" The captain of the personal guard immediately stood at attention and replied concisely, turned around and ordered the gunners under him to adjust the muzzle, aim the rear sight at the target pointed by Xu Yi, and then shouted loudly: "Let go!"

A igniter holding a torch immediately put the torch on the goose quill on the fire door, only to hear a deafening roar from the thunder cannon, which made everyone nearby feel their hearts beating wildly. Looking at the dense smoke in front of the Leigong cannon, the cannon carriage rushed backwards with the roar of the cannon, driven by the huge recoil, and rushed up the slope that had been prepared behind the cannon before stopping. Relying on its own gravity, it quickly slid from the soil slope back to its original place.
