126 Armor Gear

According to the ancient pre-Qin method and combined with current craftsmanship, the Lou Sang Ge armor made of good craftsmen is called: turtle dragon Ge armor.

The turtle dragon leather armor consists of three parts: armor body, armor skirt and armor sleeves. They are all equipped with a leather helmet (leather helmet) decorated with armor pieces, which is a complete set of leather armor.

The body of the armor is composed of breastplate, back, shoulder piece, rib piece and neckline. The armor sheets of the chest, back, shoulder and rib are fixed and woven, and the shapes vary according to the location. The braided shape is similar to the "vlamp" of later generations. Then, on the upper edge of the shoulder piece, a large armor collar with an upward slanted upwards. The armor skirt is made of four rows of armor sheets, each row of fourteen horizontal pieces, the upper upper and the width of the armor sheets are slightly trapezoidal, and they are also fixed and woven, and they are pressed from left to right in turn to form a circle with a narrow mouth and a wide bottom. The size of each row of armor sheets is slightly different. The lower row of armor sheets is slightly larger than the size of the previous row, and the upper edge of the ring mouth is just around the lower edge of the upper ring mouth, and then it is passed through a group of perforations in the center of the armor sheet to make movable woven embellishments.

In this way, the lower ring skirt can be pushed upwards to the outside of the upper ring skirt, so that the soldier wearing armor can bend down easily when he bent over. The armor sleeves are made of smaller semi-arced armor sheets, and are mostly made of thirteen rows of armor sheets to form the entire armor sleeve. Each row of armor sheets is fixedly woven horizontally, roughly forming a circular ring shape with no sealing at the bottom. Except for the lowermost row serving as a cuff, the number of armor sheets used in the other rows is the same, with five.

The uppermost row of armor pieces on the shoulders is the largest in size. The lower rows are reduced in sequence, and each row is also movable and woven to form a sleeve that is large at the top and small at the bottom. Then, the left and right armor sleeves are coupled with the left and right shoulder pieces of armor to form a complete leather armor. The leather helmet is also made of various armor pieces, with longitudinally raised ridges in the center of the top, and a half-spherical top sheet is connected on both sides to form a dome. The forehead is decorated with an inverted "concave"-shaped armor piece to protect the forehead. From both sides of the face, two rows of helmet pieces are hung to cover the ears and neck. A total of more than 180 pieces are combined into leather armor.

It can effectively protect all parts of the soldier's body from the neck to the knee. Although the long and thick armor skirt is not conducive to long-term step-by-step battles, it is extremely easy to fight.

The vest is also made of crocodile leather.

The leather horse helmet is molded with a whole piece of leather. The nose is nearly flat and the vortex pattern is pressed in the middle of the top. Ear holes and eye holes are made of both sides. The cheeks are pressed into a protruding cloud-shaped cheek protection. The leather horse helmets are painted with black paint. The leather vest, horse neck armor and body armor. The neck armor is similar to the sleeves of the human armor. It is made of five rows of nail pieces, consisting of twenty-five nail pieces, which are fixed and arranged, and are arranged in the upper row and lower row, and are movable and arranged to cover the horse's chest and neck. The body armor is divided into two parts, each of which is four rows, and each row is composed of six pieces of the rectangular armor. Because there is a round perforation, it covers the round cover composed of three nail pieces, with twenty-seven pieces of armor. The left and right parts are combined, and the whole body armor is 54 pieces.

The size and number of woven pieces of a single piece can be tailored from the shape of a knight and a horse. It is not limited to the form.

The war horse is wearing thick painted leather armor, which can effectively protect the head, neck and body, and avoid damage from enemy weapons.

In order to prevent horse legs from being injured, Liu Bei ordered craftsmen to create leg guards.

This is the outer armor of the dragon utensil, all of which are pre-Qin skills.

Nowadays, there is also the skill of "combining armor".

The so-called "mixed armor" refers to the combination of two layers of leather inside and outside, and the two are sandwiched together.

The outer layer is made of hard and tough turtle back skin, and the inner layer is made of relatively soft and thin turtle belly skin.

After the two layers of armor are painted separately, they are immediately handed over to the "water pressure" to combine armor while the lacquer has not dried. The water pressure is a pressing tool created by Liu Bei based on the principle of water discharge. The composite lining of the enamel armor is made of water pressure.

After combining the armor, apply the outer armor of the dragon's skin three times.

The lacquer used inside and outside is made of fine stirring of enamel powder. Not only are there many attachments on the crocodile skin, but the pores on the crocodile skin also penetrate closely with the inner armor. When the armor is made, let Huang Zhong try it. The three stone bow can only be shot in a tiny bit!

It is difficult to break the armor if you cut a knife and axe!

Besides water, fire, thunder and lightning, what else can you fear?

The dragons were mostly born in Danyang. Liu Bei sent his confidant clan to sell them with a lot of money. He also sent a letter to Tianshao, Liaodong, to ask the well-known Jiangnan merchants, and to buy them on their behalf.

There are good craftsmen in making armor. Liu Bei was busy cutting rice most of the time.

As the old patriarch expected, the output this year was particularly better than last year. The yield per mu was as huge as six stones.

Every household is happy.

Although the people in the town all live in one pavilion, the land is mostly crossing the border. Lousang Village is ten miles south of Zhuo County, and ten miles south of Liting. Qi people who live between Liting and Lucheng Pavilion have land between two pavilions, even within Liting. When household registration is moved to Lousang, the land is naturally moved to Lousang. Therefore, Lousang paddy fields are more than ten miles. Because Lousang moved to Lousang, most of the villages where they originally lived were abandoned. It was simply converted into paddy fields, which had a lot of income.

Seeing that Lousang's paddy fields were ripe, villagers nearby came to look for the old patriarch. They wanted to buy rice seeds, hire farmers to change to plant paddy fields. The old patriarch came to ask Liu Bei.

Is there any more to ask?

Shaojunhou agreed. However, this season was impossible. If you want to change the paddy fields, you can only wait for the next season. Shaojunhou asked the villagers from nearby Tingyi to select several representatives and come to Lousang to learn the arts. He also sent the clan members to teach them carefully and not mention them.

The Shaojun Hou family could hold 125,000 stones of grain, and then thousands of stones of new grain were added.

In addition, the grain was stored last year, but it was only 10,000 shi. It was still very early to fill the warehouse. The grain was not too expensive nowadays. When it was a chaotic era, it would definitely be a very happy thing to be able to continue with three meals. Liu Bei did not collect copper coins, but only rice, which also meant to prepare for the future.

Previously, Liu Bei wanted to buy sheepskin for the morning greenhouse medicine garden. Wulian sent a letter to Wang Brother Wuyan, and a large amount of sheepskin had arrived at Pingbo Water Fort. He only waited for the Tian family's sea boat to come to Lousang. Pingbo Water Fort is of great use. Whether it is to sell horses to the north or to sell cattle and sheepskin, it is a very important transit station. Liu Bei then went to Xinchengpu, saying that he would buy land in the water fort and build an exclusive residence.

Cheng Pu naturally agreed.

These are all happening around the beginning of autumn.

When the rice grains return to the warehouse, it is already winter.

The grassland sheepskin sold in the market was mostly taken to the people of the clan to sew the greenhouse. The cut wool accumulated into mountains. My mother asked: What should we do?

Liu Bei scratched his head and asked back: Can he spin thread?

The mother nodded gently: This is natural. Mura and hemp can still spin thread, let alone wool?

The mother and female worker were invincible. So she took the wool and asked her to try to take care of it.

My mother first soaked it in hot water to filter out the grass root feces. After drying, she then used a wool comb to make it fluffy. Then she used a beast spinning wheel to make it into wool.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be amazed at the white wool thread on the spinning wheel.

The mother asked: So what should I do?

Liu Bei blurted out: Why not weave a carpet?

Carpets are also available at this time. People at that time called it: qú shū, 美? (tà dēng). It is mostly produced in the Western Regions. The ground is cool in winter, especially wooden floors. If you put on a wooden board, then lay a wool carpet. It is really pleasant.

There is a warm feeling when you think about it.

The Qilin son is so wild and will be a strange thing every time he appears. His mother also wants to try it. All the maids at home come to help.

The sound of weaving is constantly day and night.
