"General Xiahou, how should this kind of armor be priced?"
A rhetorical question threw the question back to Xiahou Dun again.
"ah...?"
Xiahou Dun pouted, full of helplessness.
After all, it comes back to him again!
But the King of Qin asked questions in person and could not remain silent.
After struggling for a while, I could only bite the bullet and answer.
"King Qin, this complete set of standard armor can be called a battlefield weapon!"
"I really can't imagine how valuable it is, so I'll try to explain it. If I'm wrong, don't blame the King of Qin!"
Liu Zhang nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
"Hmm...one hundred...one hundred..."
Xiahou Dun raised his hand, and just as he gestured for a word, he was interrupted by an angry rebuke from Zhang Fei on the side.
"One-eyed dragon, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"The price for this armor is one hundred dollars? Why don't you go and grab it?"
With that said, Zhang Fei raised his hands and looked at Liu Zhang, demanding that Xiahou Dun be punished.
"King Qin, this guy is really rude. His words are all about humiliating sharp weapons and the King of Qin! Not punishing him severely will not quell the public's anger!"
"Anyway, I can't stand it any longer! If it were me, I would have given this guy his head..."
"Okay, okay."
Liu Zhang quickly interrupted Zhang Fei, feeling a little helpless.
I really hate Xiahou Dun for not dying!
Why didn't I realize before that Zhang Fei was a talkative person?
"General Xiahou, do you think this armor is worth a hundred dollars?"
Xiahou Dun was shocked, came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly.
When Zhang Fei made trouble, he was completely confused.
"No, no! King Qin, please don't listen to his nonsense!"
"I mean it must be worth at least a hundred gold!"
One hundred gold, at least.
Upon hearing this number, everyone including Zhang Fei paled.
Looking at Liu Zhang's slightly approving eyes, he became even more frustrated.
The armor in front of me is undoubtedly worthy of the price of one hundred gold.
But it also means they can no longer afford it.
Even if you sell your property, how many pairs can you buy?
For a time, everyone's interest in the armor dropped greatly.
Rather than carrying back one or two pairs of armor, it would be more practical to carry some gold!
"Haha, General Xiahou is quite honest! To be honest, I never thought it would be so expensive!"
As soon as Liu Zhang said these words, Xiahou Dun was once again pushed to the forefront.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at him angrily, and even the generals of Cao and Wei were full of resentment.
King Qin never thought of selling it so expensively!
The armor that originally had a slight chance now no longer has any chance.
Xiahou Dun had mixed feelings in his heart, including self-blame and helplessness.
If you say it's expensive, you'll get scolded.
If you say too little, you will be scolded.
Xiahou Dun didn't know who he had offended.
No matter how you say it, you are either complained or scolded.
Especially when Xia Houyuan and others looked at him with criticism, he felt even more depressed.
In fact, Xiahou Dun regretted it a little after he said it, but he was forced to do this, so what could he do?
"Hahaha...!"
At this moment, Liu Zhang suddenly laughed a few times.
After scanning everyone's faces with a hint of meaning, he stood up and walked to the side of the armor.
"We'll discuss the price later. Let me tell you the power of this armor first!"
As Liu Zhang spoke, he praised the fine workmanship.
"As we all know, war horses have limited physical strength. Running long distances and carrying heavy loads are inherently conflicting things!"
"Therefore, the cavalry with strong combat effectiveness must be at least one person and two riders, or even three riders!"
"Even so, the weight a single war horse can bear is still limited. At least the burden of soldiers, soldier armor, and war horse armor together is enough to crush a war horse!"
"Wearing heavy armor is very complicated, and it is impossible for cavalry to put on and take off heavy armor at any time, so it is very difficult to build heavy armor cavalry!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who knew a little bit about cavalry tactics showed their approval.
People like Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who can control cavalry are very aware of the powerful relationship between them.
Cao Cao had no shortage of war horses, but he still did not have a heavy armored cavalry system.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry simply selects centurions from among the soldiers and lets the centurions wear heavy armor.
As for the mount, it can only be exposed.
Otherwise, the war horse cannot run very far and will be exhausted to death.
Even if there are three horses per person, it will not help if they do not usually ride armored horses.
The overall weight of the war horse is limited.
Heavily armored soldiers riding heavily armored horses into battle may be exhausted before they even get close to the enemy.
There is no fighting ability at all.
Therefore, for Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the terrain is slippery and the soil is soft, which is not conducive to cavalry attacks, and there is little room for heavy armored cavalry to perform.
Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others were afraid, they were not afraid of him like a tiger.
The worst thing is that you can't get out.
As long as these heavy armored cavalry enter Jing and Yangzhou, they will sink into the wet soil if they are not careful, thus losing their combat effectiveness.
That is, the powerful Cao Wei side.
They can't just be afraid and run away when they see heavy armored cavalry. After all, most of the land is conducive to cavalry attacks.
And what Cao Cao couldn't do, Liu Zhang might not be able to do!
At least Xiahou Dun and others felt that if Liu Zhang dared to take it out, he must have a solution to the problem of the weight of the war horse!
No one would naively think that King Qin was humiliating himself.
Not long after, Liu Zhang formed a fist with one hand and lightly tapped the armor several times.
It makes a clicking sound.
Then he walked to the horse and struck again with his hands.
Da da da. . .
The same sound as before.
There was a moment of silence on the platform, and the generals from all forces looked at a loss.
No one understood what Liu Zhang was doing.
After a moment, a soft cry suddenly came out.
"Huh...!"
It was this slight sound that made the corners of Liu Zhang's mouth curl up slightly.
Da da da. . .
There was another knock, which seemed to prompt something.
This time, more people made soft noises.
More and more people understand what is wrong.
sound!
As a general, he has naturally worn heavy armor, and he is very aware of the sound of hitting heavy armor.
It must be dong dong dong, not da da da!
Not long after, Xiahou Dun couldn't bear it anymore.
He left his seat first and walked to Liu Zhang's side.
"King Qin, this...?"
Liu Zhang pointed at the armor and smiled without saying a word.
The meaning is obvious, let Xiahou Dun feel it for himself.
"Thank you, King Qin!"
Xiahou Dun was overjoyed and walked directly to the armor worn by the soldiers to investigate carefully.
The traditional Chinese medicine method of looking, hearing, asking and feeling is vividly displayed at this moment.
I'm sorry, otherwise I would have to bite it with my teeth to see the effect!
It can be said that Xiahou Dun has done almost everything he can and cannot do!
As the investigation deepened, the look of shock became more and more obvious.
However, for final confirmation, the most important step is needed.
"King Qin, can you..."
