Cloth armor is also an armor. Like a giant armor, it is a molded armor. It should be worn on the body like a clothes. The cloth color is gray and white. Because it is a cloth, the surface of the armor not only does not have the luster of a giant armor, but it looks dim in the sun.

Before Wang Jian and others, Wang Ben snatched a set of cloth armor in his hand first, twisted it, and twisted it again. Finally, he simply pulled out his great sword and poked and twisted it at the cloth armor in his hand. Sima Wuze saw this and went forward and said, "The general should try armor, so."

Sima Wuze raised a set of cloth armor at Wang Ben and said, "Please hold the sword in both hands and stab me."

Cutting is powerful and powerful, and is often regarded as the most powerful attack method by the common people who have not passed through the battle formation. Punching only a little bit, and because the stabbing wants to recover the blade, it seems slower, making people feel that it is insufficient. Anyone who comes down from the battlefield knows that if the stabbing cannot penetrate, the chopping will not have any effect. The kinetic energy of the same leather armor pierces the leather armor is only half the kinetic energy of cutting through the leather armor.

Sima Wuze asked Wang Ben to hold the sword in both hands to stab him, just to show the tenacity of the cloth armor. Wang Ben was not polite. After the piercing just now, he felt that this cloth armor was not like leather armor. If it was leather armor, it had been pierced by him. The cloth armor sounded thinner than leather armor, but I don’t know how the cloth armor was made, so strange. Wang Ben tried the armor, Wang Jian and other generals watched, and they also wanted to know how strong the cloth armor was.

‘Hey’, Wang Ben, holding a huge sword, shouted softly and stabbed a sword at the cloth armor. Seeing that he did not dodge, Sima Wuze held the cloth armor and met him. There was no loud noise, and there was almost no sound. The tip of the sword stabbed hard on the cloth armor and penetrated deep into it. Sima Wuze quickly turned a position, facing Wang Jian and others sideways. Only then did the generals see that the tip of the sword just pierced into the cloth armor, but did not pierce the cloth armor.

He couldn't even stab a pile of rags! Wang Ben was extremely angry and shouted angrily: "Come again!" After saying that, he pulled the sword and retreated a few steps, and was about to stab again. Ye Shun knew what he was going to do, so he immediately said: "Do you dare to ask the general, will the Jing people break the spear and armor?"

Sprinting is different from rushing. Wang Ben was preparing to sprint, and his whole body was pressing on the sword. Not to mention the Shaofu armor, even the Chu army's armor would be pierced. Therefore, Ye Tun immediately asked. Wang Ben was stunned and lost his movements. Wang Jian said, "Is the spear broken?"

"Reported to the general, the force of the spear is strong, and the huge armor is also broken." Ye Tunnel. "The use of armor is to prevent the heavy arrows of the Jing people."

"Oh?" Wang Jian said oh, then looked at the generals behind him, and said, "Come on! Test the arrow."

In cold weapons combat, the most consumed arrows are arrowheads and arrow feathers. Taking the battle of sand and water as an example, the Chu army's 7,000 archers had to shoot 700 kilograms of huge iron arrowheads in one volley, and 14 tons of high-quality iron were shot in twenty volleys; for each arrow three feathers, the Chu army would certainly not use the lowest goose feathers like the Song army a thousand years later. I dare not say that they all use the eagle feathers, and the worst was the horned eagle feathers. These feathers were obtained through trade between sea boats and North Korea.

Although the Chu army controls the war and recovers arrow feathers in each battle, some arrows will still be taken away by the retreating Qin soldiers. The arrow beads are very hard after being quenched, and the temperature of the Jutien Mansion is high and the time is short. This is to make the arrow beads collapse after being used once, but there are always some arrow beads intact.

Ten years ago, the Qin Shaofu knew that the effectiveness of the Chu army's armor would be greatly reduced as long as it was used or heated. Wang Jian understood this truth deeply, and his shogunate had always had the habit of storing the Chu army's armor. The arrow tester used a mulberry wooden bow like the Chu army's archer, and the arrow was also a carved feather arrow of the Chu army. Standing seventy steps away, the archer pointed his strings at the cloth armor hanging on the wooden target and shot an arrow.

With a "bang", the arrow was firmly nailed to the cloth armor. When the generals thought that the cloth armor was shot through, Ye Yun's entourage immediately took the cloth armor over, and then they found that the arrow was just shooting on the cloth armor and did not penetrate it.

"Please shoot in ten steps!" Ye Shun said again. Ten steps can't be closer. Even if you shoot through cloth armor at this distance, it doesn't make any sense, because the armor-piercing person has already rushed to the front of him, and the archer himself cannot protect him.

The archer who was testing the arrow walked to ten steps and shot again with the full string. The armor was not shot through except for a dull sound. Wang Jian asked the archer and said, "How many stone bows?"

"Report to the General, these four stone bows are also the ones." The archer looked at the long bow in his hand before speaking.

"Do you have a five-stone bow? Test it with a five-stone bow." Wang Jian ordered, and at this time he took the initiative to pick up the cloth armor with two arrow feathers inserted into it and looked at it.

On the surface, the grayish-white linen cloth is no different from the twelve and three liters of fine cloth worn by the common people. The cloth armor only glued these ordinary fine cloths together, which achieved the protective effect. On the side of the cloth armor, Wang Jian frowned and counted. He used about fifteen or six layers of fine cloth.

Qin cloth is eight feet a piece, and cloth is four feet a piece, and each can be made of five clothes. Fifteen or sixteen layers of cloth armor is made of cloth or three and eight feet a piece. One piece of cloth is two or three hundred coins a piece, even three or eight feet a piece, three or eight feet a piece is only nine hundred and sixty cents. Wang Jian was shocked when he thought of this. A pair of leather armor that was shot by the heavy arrow of the Chu army seventy steps away costs 1,344 cents, and a pair of cloth armor that costs less than a thousand coins can block the shooting at the distance of four stone bows and ten steps. This...

"Who made this armor?" Wang Jian asked anxiously.

"This armor was made by the craftsman of the Shaofu." Ye Shun knew what Wang Jian was going to ask, but he still answered according to Wang Jian's words.

"Why didn't you build this cloth armor before?" The generals had seen the power of the cloth armor. They didn't think about the cost of this armor, but blamed the Shaofu for not building cloth armor before. "Do you know how many soldiers in the Qin Dynasty fell under the heavy arrows of the Jing people? Why..."

The person questioned was the right general Zhao Yong. He glared at Ye Shun with his eyes, as if he had shot countless Qin soldiers to death.

"I naturally know that countless soldiers of the Qin Dynasty fell under the heavy arrows of the Jing people, but..." Zhao Yong looked at Ye Shun angrily, and the other generals stared at Ye Shun. Their eyes made Ye Shun chill and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Skin armor is a decay. Since the Shaofu has cloth armor, why are they still made leather armor for use in the army?" Guan Fen, who had always been criticized, couldn't help but sigh and speak. He thought of the cavalrymen who died in battle under his command. The huge armor and iron armor are limited. If they were all wearing cloth armor a few months ago, at least a few thousand people would die.

"All countries have made leather armor, why do the generals blame the Qin Shaofu?" Ye Shun mustered up the courage to retort. "Even if it is the Jing people, the Jujia was also leather armor before. What's the complaint about this?"

"Don't be angry with the great craftsman." Wang Jian sighed. "There are countless people who died of heavy arrows from Jing people. Since the craftsmen of Shaofu can build cloth armor, why didn't they build it before?"

"Before?" Ye Shun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Before..." He started talking but didn't continue. At this time, the archer's five stone bow happened to be delivered.

The five stone bow has a arch power of 260 kilograms. For the short Chu army, there are not many people who can drive such heavy bows. The Qin people are taller than the Chu people and have heavier bows. Even so, the archer's face is still red when he pulls the strings. He inhales and whispers before pulling the bowstring full. With a "bang" sound when the string is released, the sound of the bowstring almost coincides with the sound of the target.

When Wang Ben ran forward, he saw that the arrow had penetrated the cloth armor, but it was only penetrated, and the arrow was at most half a minute. "Please look, General."

Wang Ben moved faster, Wang Jian took the penetrated cloth armor from his son, and saw that the arrowhead had only passed half a minute, his old face smiled and said, "Great kindness! The arrows of Jing people are harmless from now on."

He laughed. Zhao Yong and others saw that the arrowheads were just shot through the cloth armor and nodded frequently. Penetration does not mean killing. To hurt people, they have to penetrate at least one inch, and to kill them, they have to penetrate at least two to three inches. Facing the Jing people's five-stone strong bow and six or seven-two-point arrows, they can achieve this defensive effect. The arrows of the Chu army are indeed harmless to the Qin army.

But there are also people who are not very happy, and their confidant Liu Chi said, "I am not as good as Jujia."

"It's not as good as the giant armor." Ye Tun knew the protection level of the cloth armor. "However, the giant armor weighs at least 70 kilograms, and the cloth armor is only 20 kilograms, which is also the same as the giant armor. The giant armor cannot resist the storm of the Jing people, so what's the benefit of being thick?"

"Although the Jijia cannot stop the Jing people from rushing to the spear, they wear Jijia. If the dead are injured, the injured may not be injured, how can they be useless?" Liu Chi's object was not Ye Shun, but Wang Jian and other generals. Wang Jian, including Wang Jian, nodded after hearing this. The armor not only prevents damage, but also reduces damage. "The subordinates think that if the cloth armor can be one inch thicker, it should be one inch thicker."

"General, the last general agrees." Zhao Yong agreed. "In wartime, the old soldiers stood in front of the formation, and their armor should be one inch thicker. When the new soldiers stood behind the formation, their armor should be defended against arrows..."

Cloth armor is a good armor. Since it is a good armor, all soldiers of the army must be equipped with a pair. After the generals finished talking, Ye Shun said: "One armor and ten clothes, 600,000 people are six million clothes. If you can't make it, how can you thicken it? The young mansion's intention was to build 150,000 sets of ten clothes cloth armor for the general. If it is to thicken it to an inch, there will be only 75,000 sets of 75,000 sets."

When Ye Shun said, the joy on the faces of the generals disappeared without a trace. Wang Jian coughed and said unhappily: "Where will I not have six million civilian clothes under the rule of the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yes, but glue is rare." Under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, there are naturally six million new clothes every year. The problem is that in addition to cloth, cloth armor also requires glue. It is rare to get cloth.

"What glue is used for this armor?" Wang Jian asked, and Ye Shun kept silent again. The secret of cloth armor was not in cloth but in glue. How could he tell Wang Jian what glue is used for cloth armor?

"The smell of meat." Wang Ben picked up the cloth armor and sniffed it under his nose, smelling a fishy smell of meat. The other generals followed him and picked up the cloth armor and sniffed it hard, and also smelled the fishy smell of meat. He opened his mouth and wanted to say what it was but couldn't say what it was. However, Qiang Xu said in a harsh voice: "Why is the rabbit smell so strong?"
