Rise From the Humble

"Next, let's test their ability to protect against blunt objects. Bring two pigs, tie their limbs, and put a cotton armor on one end and an iron armor on the other. Then two people will ride horses and hold maces to greet them."

Zhu Pingan gave the order, and the two big fat pigs were pulled by their ears and front legs, and howled and dragged to the school yard. Before they could react, they were tied up and one end was covered with cotton armor. One end was covered with iron armor.

Then, two sturdy Zhejiang soldiers got on their horses, dragged their maces with their backhands, clamped the horse's belly with their feet, and started to drive the horses to run. In order to increase the horse's speed, they first ran around the school field, and in the second circle After Ma quickly picked it up, he swung the mace in his hand hard and swung it hard at the fat pig in armor.

The high-speed running horses, the heavy mace, and the fate of the two fat pigs can be imagined

All the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy from the corners of their mouths. Hehe, you can have extra food.

Boom! Boom!

After two dull hammering sounds, a harsh squealing sound sounded continuously.

"Let's go, isn't it? The pig in the iron armor died, but the pig in the cotton armor was not hammered to death on the spot?!"

All the Zhejiang Army soldiers opened their mouths in disbelief and stared dumbfounded at the two fat pigs on the school field.

The armored fat pig had blood pouring from its mouth and nose, and lay paralyzed on the ground, motionless. It had long since passed away and become food.

Although the fat pig with cotton armor was bleeding from its mouth, nose and ears, the whole pig was howling in pain, struggling and kicking like crazy.

The pig was not killed or even incapacitated.

Zhu Ping'an asked people to untie the cotton-armored pig. The pig was wearing cotton armor and ran away from the scene howling like a gust of wind. At first, it was squirming as if it was drunk and fell several times. , but he quickly grasped the balance, and then rode Juechen, as fast as a pig, leaving a trail of flying dust, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"No, the pig in cotton armor not only didn't die on the spot, but actually survived. Can you believe this?! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"Cotton armor's protection against blunt objects is actually much better than iron armor. Also, there is so much cotton, which cushions a lot of force."

"If you wear iron armor on the battlefield and are hit with such a mace, your internal organs will definitely be broken. Even if you don't die on the spot, you will definitely be disabled; but if you wear cotton armor, you might still be able to backhand. Although you are fat Pigs have rougher skin and thicker flesh than us, so they can withstand beatings, but it shows."

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army couldn't help but admire the performance of the cotton armor in defending against blunt weapons.

"Next, let's try the protective capabilities of these two armors against fire guns. In addition to the sharp knife base, fire guns are also a great weapon for the Japanese pirates. The Japanese call them iron cannons. We will exterminate the Japanese pirates in the future and fight with the Japanese pirates. When fighting, you must face Japanese pirates.

Firegun. The firecrackers we use now are almost the same as the iron cannons used by the Japanese pirates. Now try to see if they can prevent it. "

Zhu Ping'an said to a group of Zhejiang Army soldiers to test the protective performance of cotton armor and iron armor against fire mirrors.

Because the power of fire blunderbuss is much greater than that of bows, in order to save costs, a pair of cotton armor and a pair of iron armor were used for the test this time.

Soon, a hundred Zhejiang soldiers who were excellent at shooting fire cannons were selected and ordered to fire fire cannons from a distance of twenty steps.

The firing range of Ming Dynasty fire cannons was about a hundred meters, but the effective range was within fifty meters, and the range with armor-piercing capabilities was within thirty meters. A distance of twenty steps could ensure the best power of the fire cannons.

"preparation!"

Liu Dadao acted as the conductor, raised his hand and shouted.

As soon as Liu Dadao finished speaking, one hundred Zhejiang army gunsmiths skillfully took out a small bag of gunpowder from the ammunition pot, opened a hole with their mouths, poured the gunpowder into the gunpowder pool, fastened the lid of the gunpowder pool, and skillfully loaded it. Good projectile.

Then, light the match rope, put the match rope on the match rope clip, hold up the fire gun, and steadily aim at the ten sets of cotton and ten sets of iron armor in the distance. Following the order, five people aimed at an armor.

They have practiced this set of movements countless times during this period, and they are so proficient that they cannot be more proficient.

"Let go!" Liu Dacai waved his hand vigorously.

After Liu Yidao gave the order, a hundred gunmen immediately pulled the trigger. "Bang bang comment..."

There was a burst of gunfire, and the smoke filled the air, and the choking smell of gunpowder began to dissipate.

Although the accuracy of fire cannons in this era was not high, due to the short distance, almost all of the one hundred fire cannon players hit the target. Each armor was hit by at least four shots, without exception.

"Let's see how it goes. Can you guard against the fire blunderbuss?"

The officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army couldn't wait to see the condition of the twenty suits of armor, and they all stretched their necks.

Seeing this, Zhu Pingnu smiled slightly and waved her hands for everyone to come closer and watch.

A group of Zhejiang Army soldiers rushed forward impatiently.

"Hey, this fire gun is so powerful that it has shot out several holes in the armor, piercing the front and back. If it were worn by a human being, it would have four or five transparent holes."

"D(д) Oh my god, this cotton armor was not penetrated by the shot. The projectile got stuck on the iron piece."

"This is the same. This projectile penetrated the first layer of cotton. Although the iron piece was also broken, it was blocked by the second layer. This cotton armor can still prevent firearms."

"This iron armor blocked two projectiles, but it made three holes. It still failed to prevent it..."

"Good guy, you don't know it by looking at it. You're shocked when you look at it. This fire gun is so powerful. Every piece of iron armor was smashed with at least two or three holes and eyes... But the cotton armor was able to defend it. Except for one pair of cotton armors which had a hole and a hole in it, the other cotton armors were not penetrated."

A group of Zhejiang Army officers were stunned by the power of the fire gun and the protective performance of the cotton armor. They did not expect that the fire gun was so powerful.

I thought cotton armor was just a generic item, but I didn't expect it to be more reliable than iron armor.

"This cotton armor is made of cotton. If it rains, wouldn't it get soaked?"

Someone suddenly thought of a question, and it resonated instantly, and all the soldiers couldn't help but become worried.

"Get some water."

Zhu Pinhui smiled and ordered.

A bucket of water was quickly brought up. Zhu Pingan took out a ladle of water and poured it on a set of cotton armor.

One scoop after another, the pouring rain was nothing more than that.

Zhu Ping'an poured three ladles in a row, then changed to a pair of cotton armor and poured another three ladles, and poured five pairs of cotton armor in a row.

The water splashed on the cotton armor and flowed down, as if it had been splashed on linoleum.

“It’s actually rainproof?”

A group of Zhejiang Army officers came forward to check and found that the cotton armor was almost wet. They couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.

"This cotton armor is a treasure."

All the Zhejiang soldiers were amazed by the excellent protective properties of the cotton armor. They looked at the hundred sets of cotton armor with envy and wanted to own one.

"This kind of cotton armor is the standard issue for our Zhejiang Army. Everyone has one."

Zhu Ping'an's words caused all the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers to cheer, and their faces were all happy.
