Chapter 218 Bicycles and Pacers
"Ding... the system releases the first mission... destroy Chang'an cancer water gang... you can get the reward of the Binger A map, because it is the first time the task is triggered, and the additional reward for the bicycles sold in the mall...!"
After hearing the system voice in his mind, Li You felt a trembling heart.
Li You still knew nothing about the system he had. Apart from knowing that this system could help him travel to modern times and buy things in the mall, he didn't know anything else.
Now, his system can publish tasks again. To be honest, Li You has no other way except to adapt slowly. At this time, Li You is a little envious of other time travelers' systems, which are simple and fast, unlike his own, which is mysterious and mysterious and difficult to control.
Of course, Li You was quite satisfied with the rewards released for this task.
The map of Buren armor... Li You just drools when he thinks about it... The best armor used in the Tang Dynasty is called Mingguang armor. Mingguang armor sounds nice, but it is actually iron armor. Iron armor is the best because even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many armors were not iron. This is due to tactical needs and production capacity constraints.
More importantly, the manufacturing of Mingguang armor is quite labor-consuming. The process is as follows: first make iron into an armor sheet; then write, roughly grind, perforated, and cut the pendant, miscellaneous, and fine grind; after the processing of the armor sheet, use leather strips to woven into armor.
The lining should also be hung inside to prevent the skin from getting worn. According to the "Yanxi Festival" Volume 49 of "Hyeukou" written by Japan for five years (927), it takes 192 to 265 working days to make a pair of iron armor. Repairing a pair of armor requires 41 workers.
So it is not something that the Tang soldiers can enjoy when wearing the Mingguang armor.
But this step of the human armor is very different. This step of the human armor appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the "Wu Jing Zongyao", the arm of the Northern Song Dynasty is composed of iron armor leaves connected by leather strips or nails, which is a typical armour. Its protection range includes the whole body, and in terms of protection range is the Chinese armor closest to the heavy armor of Europe.
According to the regulations of the fourth year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, the Buren Armor consists of 1,825 armor leaves, and generally weighs 58 Song jin. At the same time, the protection force can be improved by increasing the number of armor leaves, but the weight will further increase.
To this end, the emperor personally gave an order to limit the infantry armor to 29.8KG. After that, the weight of the spearman's armor was set to 32-35KG. Since archers are often involved in melee combat, their armor is set to 28-33KG; while the armor of the crossbow shooter is set to 22-27KG. At the same time, the armor of the European infantry and cavalry was mainly chain mail, which did not reach such a weight.
Around the tenth year of Shaoxing, the period when the Song Dynasty's army was the most powerful. Famous generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others led heavy infantry equipped with iron armor, long spears and strong crossbows as their main equipment, and used dense formations to support the trenches and fortresses, and equipped cavalry repeatedly defeated the Jin Dynasty cavalry.
If Li You can make infantry armor, he will have a set of heavy armor infantry. To be honest, even the strongest cavalry unit is not an opponent of this heavy armor unit.
The weak army of the Southern Song Dynasty, after being put on infantry armor, also produced a large number of large swords. In the tenth year of Shaoxing of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, in the battle between the Song army and the Jin soldiers, the Song generals equipped with large swords and heavy infantrymen with large axes were arranged on their wings, effectively preventing the attack of the Jin army armored cavalry.
At that time, the basic tactics of using a big knife to deal with armored cavalry attacks were first to fire long-range weapons, and when the enemy was in close combat, they used a big knife to chop off weaker horse legs, and then attacked the cavalry.
The reason why the Song Dynasty lost later was mainly because although the Song Dynasty had such good equipment, before Kaixi Northern Expedition, officials discovered that there were only 617 people in the Song army with more than 20,000 people. This was a physique that was comparable to the national football team. Even if they did not wear the strait armor, they could not pursue the enemy!

"Young Master...Shangshui helps Jin Li ask for a meeting..."
After Yaoyu finished speaking, Cui Xiuniang, who was on the other side, stopped beating the top and turned around and cursed: "The people from the Shangshui Gang dare to come here, let her come over, let this girl beat them hard...!"
Cui Jue listened to his sister's scolding, his lips twitched a few times, and then comforted him: "This, this...Miss Li, don't be so impulsive, everything is mainly about Mr. Li...!"
"Hmph..." Cui Xiuniang hummed softly.
Then Li You smiled and said, "Even if the two armies are in battle, they will not be killed, so please invite him in..."
Yaoyu bowed slightly, and soon invited Jin Li from the Shangshui Gang to come in. Jin Li was about forty years old and dressed in a literati dress, but he was handsome. Unfortunately, there was a black mole on the corner of Jin Li's mouth, which affected the other party's appearance, otherwise there would be forty-one flowers that could be shown.
"The villain Jin Li, pay homage to His Highness the King of Qi..." Jin Li did not entrust himself, but bowed respectfully.
"Get up, I'm no longer the King of Qi, and I'm a civilian like you, so don't need to do this. Let's talk about your purpose. Are you here to apologize...?"
"Apology?" Jin Li was slightly surprised.
"You Shangshui Gang is causing trouble in Chang'an City, and even beat the people who are selling green pears in the city. Shouldn't you apologize..." Li You's voice became cold.
"Your Highness... You can't make a radius without rules. The West Market is managed by the Shangshui Gang. You do business in the West Market. Since you are protected by the Shangshui Gang, you will naturally have to pay the protection fee...!"
"Bastard..." Li You suddenly smashed the glass in his hand to the ground, and the glass shattered with a 'clang'.
Cui Jue felt heartbroken and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "At least a thousand guan..."
Li You cursed with hatred: "Who asked you to manage this Xishi City? Chang'an County, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, or the Censorate... No matter who it is, as long as they dare to speak, Li You will definitely go to the Tai Chi Palace today, even if Li You is no longer the King of Qi.
But Li You is also a member of the royal family, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are my Li family.
I want to see, the government dares to oppress the Li family's people...!"
"This...!" Jin Li was slightly stunned and became anxious. He really didn't expect that Li You would say such words, and Jin Li didn't know how to answer them for a while.
Fortunately, Jin Li came prepared, but Jin Li was stunned for a moment and quickly took out something from his arms.
"Flying money...!"
Cui Jue recognized what was in Jin Li's hand at a glance.
Then he heard Jin Li laugh and said, "Your Highness, I am actually here, just want to ask Your Highness to give the Shangshui Gang a face. The Shangshui Gang only needs your Highness to hand over the paralyzed father and daughter to us.
Here is ten thousand guan. Please accept it with a smile. If this ten thousand guan is not enough."
Jin Li then smiled again, then took out a jade pendant from his body, and handed it directly to Li You and said, "It can also be held with Your Highness. I don't know what Your Highness thinks."
Seeing the jade pendant, Li You's face darkened: "You are actually his subordinates..."
