Chapter 754

In Li's opinion, although the armor of Datang is superior in defense, it can't be said to be very good-looking.

There were 13 kinds of standard armor in the Tang Dynasty, among which Mingguang armor, Guangyao armor, Xilin armor, Shanwen armor, wuhammer armor and Suozi armor were all iron armor.

But even the highest bright light armor is superimposed with small pieces of iron armor, similar to the scales of pangolin. What made Li forget his worries and couldn't look directly at him was the shining goggles in front of Mingguang armor's chest.

Most of these round goggles are polished very bright, just like copper goggles. It is said that wearing bright light armor on the battlefield will emit dazzling "bright light" due to the irradiation of the sun, so it is named.

But in Li's opinion, the two round goggles in front of the Mingguang armor are really funny. It's like wearing a female metal bra on armor, which makes people unable to look directly at it.

Every time he saw Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, five big and three thick generals, wearing bright light armor, he had an impulse to spit blood.

It's really against the peace

Since ancient times, the European armor made of a whole piece of iron has rarely been used in China. The reason is that the European plate armor has poor defense effect for weapons such as bows and arrows.

Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to the long-range attack weapon of bow and arrow, and also attaches great importance to the defense of bow and arrow. The layered scale armor has much stronger defense against long-range weapons such as bow and arrow than European plate armor.

Moreover, before Li forgot to worry about making a hydraulic forging machine, it was too expensive to make plate armor manually.

In fact, the knight plate armor in Europe is just a special model in Europe. Those local tyrants, knights, nobles and lords spend a lot of money to create a pile of full-body plate armor comparable to works of art. It is impossible to popularize it on a large-scale battlefield.

Of course, there was no large-scale war in ancient Europe. The so-called war between nobles is usually just a fight between hundreds of people and up to thousands of people. As for the knights who can wear full plate armor, there are only a few.

Naturally, Li forgets to worry about what armor design is, but he will copy it.

Anyway, he didn't build armor to fight on the battlefield, just to pretend to be cool.

Although he doesn't like little Japan very much, he likes little Japanese comics and love action films. In Li's opinion, the most handsome armor is naturally the holy clothes in the animated film "Saint warrior star arrow" that impressed me when I was a child.

In particular, the suit of Pegasus God's holy clothes of Xingya is the existence of absolute appearance explosion.

Now that there is a hydraulic forging hammer, it should not be difficult to use it to make armor. The holy clothes of these Saint fighters should also be able to be made.

Of course, the so-called "holy clothes" prepared by Li forgetful worry are not even armor. He's just going to make a look with thin iron sheet. To put it bluntly, it's just Cosplay props. There's no defense at all. It's just to be handsome.

Thinking of the holy clothes of the saint fighter, Li forgets worry and can't help turning up the corners of his mouth. He suddenly thought of what he should let the dandies do.

Hey, hey, I'm just bored. Let the dandies play Cosplay with me. I think it should be very interesting?

There are exactly ten dandies. It's very interesting to add Niu Yong and Niu Wu and come out with a golden saint of the twelve palaces of the zodiac.

Thinking of this, Li Qieyou suddenly became interested and immediately began to draw the drawings of the holy clothes of the saint fighter. Fortunately, when he was a child, he liked to read the comic book "Saint warrior star arrow". He also remembered the style of the holy dress. There was no problem drawing it.

He drew the holy clothes of the saint fighter and the gold holy clothes of the twelve palaces of the zodiac in one breath. Li forgot to worry and asked people to find Yan Liben again.

"Liben, help me find some craftsmen to make the armor on this set of drawings."

Yan Liben stretched out his hand and took the drawing. After looking at it, he almost didn't stare out his eyes.

"Teacher... Teacher, are you painting armor?"

Li forgot to worry and nodded naturally: "nature is armor. How about it? Isn't it very handsome?"

Yan Liben swallowed hard: "Sir, these armor can also be made. Now with the help of the hydraulic forging machine designed by the teacher, this kind of plate armor is very convenient to make. But these armor are really useful? I'm afraid ordinary people can't wear such full-body armor? How can they march and fight?"

Most of the armor in the Tang Dynasty was not full-body armor. Even so, the total weight of more than 1000 pieces of iron armor connected in a very complex way with ropes reached more than 50 kg.

And the thickness of these armor pieces is only 1 to 2 mm.

According to Yan Liben's experience, if the iron armor drawn on Li forgetful worry's drawing is made, I'm afraid the weight can reach more than 100 Jin. Where is such a heavy armor practical?

Even the well-known generals, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, can hardly fight in heavy armor.

Li Qieyou smiled and shook his head: "Li Ben, wrong. This armor is only made of thin iron sheet and can be light."

"How to defend arrows and weapons?" Yan Liben asked.

Li Qiaoshan smiled, touched his nose and said, "well, you should think of it as a costume, not for combat. By the way, this suit of armor should be plated with silver, and the other 12 sets should be plated with gold for the teacher. You must make it beautiful."

"Drama... Costumes? Gold plating?" Yan Liben felt that his three views were about to collapse today. Is the little teacher teasing him?

He looked at the stack of drawings in his hand. In Yan Liben's view, each pair of armor on it was an unprecedented style, and it looked quite awkward.

Although in later generations, the holy clothes of Saint fighters have countless fans, from the perspective of the Tang people, these holy clothes can be called strange.

You know, since ancient times in China, the shape and pattern decoration of armor is not random, but has a meaning. For example, the top of a copper helmet is often inserted with colorful Plover feathers. Because plovers are fierce and aggressive, they are not afraid to die. They are used to symbolize bravery.

The ferocious beast head copper shoulder guard and buckle not only serve as decoration, but also serve as a deterrent to the enemy.

However, the Tang Dynasty is not a kind of armor without pure decorative function. For example, the forbidden guards of the Tai Chi palace and the bright armor on their bodies are basically just beautiful in appearance and show the luxurious momentum of the royal majesty, but they have no practical defensive significance.

Yan Liben wants to come, and Li forgets to worry about making armor. It should be the same.

He nodded helplessly, "OK, I know. It's not difficult to make these armor, but it's a lot of gold and silver plating."

Li forgets to worry about the tone of a local tyrant and a nouveau riche: "don't worry, I'll ask Niu Wu to deliver the gold later. First, you should spend the salary and the reward of the craftsman. Don't save it for the teacher. Just one request, be quick! Help the teacher build it in ten days."

With his present wealth, it's no big deal to spend a few hundred liang of gold for happiness.

Money is so capricious!

"Yes, I know." Yan Liben only felt his head ache
