After hugging him, Zhao Ping immediately realized something was wrong. Wasn't this armor too heavy? ! After all, Zhao Ping was an invincible being who could defeat all the heavenly prisons, but due to his carelessness, he was unable to hold the armor.
Can Zhao Ping endure this?
Immediately he stood up with his legs, exerted all his strength on his waist, and then picked up the damn armor.
After being separated from the wooden box, the armor looked like a giant beast with claws and teeth against the firelight. Several soldiers nearby immediately stepped forward and took apart the various parts of the armor in Zhao Ping's hand. Only then did everyone see the whole armor clearly.
Roughly speaking, the armor is made up of iron armor leaves as thick as a little finger connected by a special leather rope. It is divided into front and back pieces and fastened with belts on the shoulders. There are animal skin pattern drapes on the shoulders to enhance defense, and a belt. There are two large knee skirts hanging down, which are still stacked with square armor pieces connected by leather ropes.
The armor that covers almost the whole body, if coupled with the helmet, has no defense except for the feet from the calf down, it can be said to be almost airtight.
If you look closely, you will see that even the thinnest part of the nail leaf is about the thickness of your little finger. Special attention is paid to areas such as the chest, which is no worse than a heart guard. And the number of armor leaves on the whole body is no less than a thousand, no wonder it is so heavy!
Obviously this armor matches the Mo Dao. Just imagine how powerful it would be to wear such invulnerable armor and hold a Mo Dao that is as sharp as iron as mud, standing in front of the army, and one man can guard the door and no one can open it. prestige!
Thinking of this and looking at the few boxes in the distance, everyone's eyes became redder and redder!
However, at this time, someone finally thought of a problem - weight!
Yes, it’s still weight. The long sword is already very heavy. If it is an ordinary soldier, it may not be able to hold on for a quarter of an hour before it loses its strength. What if it wears this heavy armor again? Although the protection and attack power are both at full capacity, what about the same time? The mobility will also be greatly reduced, so forget it, at least it will be useful in defensive battles.
The key is that it takes too much effort. Even if they are elite soldiers, they may not be able to last for an hour wearing this equipment.
How could Zhao Kuo not know things that all the soldiers could think of.
He touched the thick and smooth armor surface, and then tested its strength with a bow and arrow. Sure enough, the bow and arrow were useless fifty paces away, but within thirty paces, the bow and arrow were difficult to damage. Zhao Kuo expressed his satisfaction.
Then he looked at the soldiers and said: "I know you all want this good weapon, but this thing is extremely heavy and cannot be used by strong people. Tomorrow, I will tie up sandbags and walk around the mountain. I will hold on until the end and run. Fifty people farther away can get it."
"Promise!" All the soldiers agreed.
Afterwards, Zhao Kuo also put on the armor and danced Mo Dao, opening everyone's eyes first, and then began to teach everyone Mo Dao's sword skills and Mo Dao's formation.
And this teaching happened in the middle of the night. Everything that needed to be taught was taught. Under Zhao Kuo's severe reprimand, the soldiers reluctantly went back to their rooms to rest one by one.
But Zhao Kuo did not rest there. Instead, he dug out the two most inconspicuous small boxes among dozens of boxes. After opening them, Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction.
If we talk about the Mo Dao or the heavy armor, it can only arm dozens of people, and what is inside this box is the key that can really improve the combat power of Zhao's border army. Of course, these are just It's just enough for Zhao Kuo's soldiers. However, this time in Handan, Zhao Kuo was not prepared to reveal his trump card.
Of course, Zhao Kuo was obviously not worried about Mo Dao and Heavy Armor. After all, even if he knew the benefits of these things, other countries would not be able to make them with today's smelting technology.
Then he took out the prepared seals and asked Zhao Ping to put them on them. After repeatedly telling no one to open the seals, the two boxes were carefully handed over to Zhao Ping.
After arranging everything, Zhao Kuo stayed in another courtyard and didn't go back until the afternoon of the next day. Fortunately, Zhao Kuo had always lived in seclusion and thanked guests behind closed doors. No one knew about his absence for just half a day. Only Mother Zhao waited silently at the window all night, even though she knew clearly that it was impossible for Zhao Kuo to come back after the curfew.
Of course, when facing the returning Zhao Kuo, Zhao's mother still appeared to be in high spirits.
So, the days passed like this day by day
Go down. Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
The soldiers in the other courtyard have selected the fifty strongest people. Under the envious eyes of the soldiers, they put on heavy armor, took the swords, and rehearsed the formation in the school martial arts field, while the remaining hundreds Not to be outdone, the soldiers each took up their weapons and fought with the fifty "lucky ones".
However, at the beginning, they could retaliate against the "lucky ones" with their numerical advantage. However, as the formation drills became more and more proficient, the soldiers who were several times larger gradually lost their advantage. Fortunately, the heavy armor soldiers had It was considered to be in good condition, so there was no bloody tragedy.
Zhao Ping immediately visited Lord Pingyuan on the second day. For Zhao Kuo's sake, Lord Pingyuan received Zhao Ping warmly, and then arranged for his elders to send Zhao Ping to Handan Mansion to take up his post. There is no difference in Handan Mansion. A person who was favored by General Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng at the same time, even the Handan Order did not dare to underestimate.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping is very self-aware. Everything he has now is given by Zhao Kuo, and the mission he shoulders requires him to be low-key, low-key, and low-key. Therefore, although the original immediate boss has become a subordinate, the original subordinate has become someone who needs to look up to him. But he remained as humble as ever, and would even take the initiative to say hello to someone he met on the road. Such a move undoubtedly brought good response from the grassroots level to Zhao Ping, and Zhao Kuo's ability to recognize people was gradually spread.
After receiving Zhao Kuo's letter, Lian Po also became busy. Not only did he need to allocate manpower to Zhao Wei in Shangdang County, but he also provided food and fodder to Xu Li in Hanoi County. He asked to start weight-bearing training. Although Lian Po didn't know why, he still chose to believe Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Wei, who had received sufficient manpower, immediately opened up his firepower. He first relocated all the nearby people, then leveled the roads, and then established living area facilities before expanding production. Obviously, Zhao Wei was following Zhao Kuo's request to make this arsenal bigger and stronger.
Zhao Wei's arsenal here has become a big spender of gold, silver, money and silk, and Xu Li's farming plan over there is no less generous. With the distribution of food, Zhao's reputation and credibility are also unknowingly accumulated, and from then on The number of refugees pouring into Hanoi County from surrounding areas finally increased like a spurt. Fortunately, General Lian Po's food and troops arrived in time, and a turmoil was avoided.
Although the unrest was suppressed, it also gave Xu Li a wake-up call, and he immediately slowed down the intensity and speed of gathering refugees and reclaiming wasteland. "Haste makes waste", fortunately the price for Xu Libuy's lesson was not too high.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
