Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Emperor's Rise" at any time ...

Exactly, since the army of the Principality of Geddes and the Saxon Allied Forces started, the army of Geddes no longer bought French plate armor and helmets from the hydraulic forging center in Lyle County, Marin.

So, Marin ordered-continue to work, producing chest plate armor and helmet. However, the style was changed to Maximilian armor style. This raised breastplate has excellent properties for resisting the damage of musket bullets.

It should be known that after the ordinary close-fitting plate armor is hit by a tens of grams of lead bullets, the shock wave will directly damage the human body. Moreover, under the strong impact force, the plate armor may be dented.

However, the old-fashioned plate armor was worn close to the body. Once a depression is formed, it will directly impact the human body. If there is a depression in the soft part of the human body, the problem is not very serious. If there is a depression in the bone, it is finished, the fracture is light, and the bone is broken by the impact force, which is also common.

Therefore, the musket would pose such a big threat to the plate armored knight. If the convex design is used, the bullet hits the protrusions, which not only easily cause refraction and bouncing, even if the convex part is smashed by the lead bullet, it is only smashed from the protrusion, it is difficult to directly Shock the human body. Even because of the strong kinetic energy, people will still be hurt to some extent, but it is not a miserable situation where the bones are broken and the fighting power is lost.

Therefore, the Maximilian armor is an armor that is very suitable for resisting spherical lead shots. Of course, it can only be said that this kind of armor is more suitable to resist lead bullets than the old armor, not that it can certainly be blocked. If you are lucky, you will hit the unimportant bulge, and people may be fine. If you are unlucky, you will be injured. It's just that you won't be injured if you get shot like an old-fashioned body armor.

With the breastplate of the Maximilian armor and the iron helmet with movable mask, Marin can let his soldiers train each other to train with a wooden stick wrapped in linen on the head according to the set idea.

For training sticks, Marin decided to use the same length as the spear. In this way, the soldiers are no different from using spears.

In fact, the use of spears is nothing more than the old method of using thorns, dials, and slaps. However, don't underestimate these three basic moves. Proficiently used, on the battlefield, you can first stab the opponent to make yourself alive.

Moreover, studies in later generations have shown that stab damage is much greater than slashing. Generally speaking, if it is cut by a knife, as long as it is not cut to vital parts such as the aorta and neck, even if you go to the hospital, you will probably survive.

However, if you are stabbed, especially in the heart and other parts, the basic fairy is difficult to save. Therefore, the gangsters of the later generations used a knife to cut people, but the victims were more injured and less died. But the killers often use daggers to stab the target, pay attention to fast and accurate, directly stab the dagger into the heart of the target.

Moreover, this point is also reflected in the bayonet later. During World War II, the dagger-type bayonet was also popular. It could be stabbed and cut. However, after World War II, the design of the five and six and a half rifles directly abandoned the blade of the bayonet and changed it to a three-sided military bayonet. Because the lethality of the triangular thorns is particularly great. Later, the actual combat rifles used folding military stabs. Only the honor guard's rifle uses a dagger bayonet. Because the dagger-shaped bayonet looks good ...

...

Therefore, Marin has very strict regulations on how soldiers should train to spear the spear into the enemy's body first.

During the training, after the black cloth covered in the breastplate was stabbed by the enemy's "gun head" stained with lime powder, not only did the soldier want to withdraw from the group fight, but the referee would also give the opposite success according to the stabbed part. " Soldiers who killed the enemy scored. The closer to the heart, the higher the score.

Moreover, in combat, soldiers can also judge for themselves. For example, if the enemy stabbed the part far from the heart, it is allowed to continue to fight for a short period of time. If you stabbed in the heart, you must immediately quit the battle, otherwise you will be punished.

After scoring mechanism and supporting certain rewards and punishment measures, Marin believes that those spearmen who use the spear to fight and stab the enemy will be faster and more accurate.

For those outstanding soldiers who often stab their spearheads at the heart of their opponents quickly, Marin also allows certain commendations and rewards. The rewards are not necessarily many, but the commendation will largely satisfy the soldier's vanity. Although it is not appropriate to say so, it is better to say that the sense of honor is better. But in fact, the difference between the two is not very big. Marin remembers that he was commended by the school for the rest of his life. When he was on the stage holding a certificate of honor, he was extremely proud when he was watched by a monkey ...

...

For Saqqara who invented the "group fight training method", Marin was not ill-treated. Not only did he increase his annual salary, but also removed the word "agent" from his "Acting Chief of the Legion of England", which made Saqqara succeed. A senior general.

In addition, Marin passed the improved group training method back to Newcastle. In addition, Marin sent Sakara 2,000 sets of Maximilian breastplates and iron helmets with movable masks as props for the new group training method.

After all, the new group training method, if there is no protective gear, the training will cause a lot of casualties.

Of course, all formal Maximilian breastplates and helmets are used, and the capacity of the forging center cannot keep up. How to do it?

When inspecting the training of the Langfang Commando and the Colonial Army, Marin saw that the colonial auxiliary troops were wearing a piece of wood armor much like a "mahjong mat" ...

This kind of wood chip armor, if you do not wrap the wood chip with iron, the cost is very low. And, the point is, it's quick to make ...

After all, no matter what era, there are more carpenters than blacksmiths. Marin easily found enough carpenters to process a large number of wood chips and drill holes for each size of mahjong.

After that, it was to find a skilled person to compile the "Mahjong Wood Chips" into Zhajia. This is a little more troublesome, but Marin had people make a batch of armor for the auxiliary troops of the colonial army before, which is considered to be a skilled craftsman.

After testing, the soldiers who were put on a layer of "mahjong mat" wood chips were still hurt after being stabbed with a wooden stick. So, Marin simply let the soldiers put on a double layer of "Mahjong mat". Sure enough, the effect is much better.

As for the helmet, Marin has also simplified. He asked a group of carpenters to make a batch of wooden helmets according to the style of later generation motorcycle helmets. Then, a big hole was cut in front of the eyes. Then, in the big hole, weave wire mesh as a protection ...

In this way, training soldiers wearing double-layer "Mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wearing a wooden "motorcycle helmet" became a "beautiful" landscape in the military camp.

What surprised Marin most was that the soldiers actually fell in love with the "Mahjong Mat" wood chip armor and the wooden "motorcycle helmet", and refused to take it down ...

Why? "Mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wooden "motorcycle helmet", the total weight is much lighter than the Maximilian chest plate armor and the iron helmet with movable mask.

Moreover, most soldiers cannot afford chest armor and iron helmets. Moreover, their physical fitness, wearing such heavy armor, can not last long.

But the "Mahjong Mat" wood chip armor is different from the wooden "Moto helmet" ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Even if two layers of "Mahjong Mat" are worn and the wooden motorcycle helmet is worn, the average soldier can bear it.

Moreover, on the battlefield, if you do n’t wear armor and are hit by enemy weapons, you must be dead or injured.

Rather than doing so, it is better to wear double-layer "Mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wear a wooden "motorcycle helmet" to fight the enemy.

Moreover, the protective power of the double "Mahjong Mat" wood chip armor and the wooden "Moto helmet" is really good. At least, when assassinating the enemy with cold weapons, the survival rate must be very high. Because, before doing experiments, the domestic pigs wearing double-layer "Mahjong mat" wood-chip armor, when the soldiers were stabbed with spears and shot with bows and arrows, the survival rate was close to half ... especially facing Bow and arrow shooting, the protection is very good ... Of course, in the face of muskets, wooden armor, there is no protection ...

Nevertheless, the soldiers still fell in love with the "Mahjong Mat" and the wooden "Moto Helmet". Later, this became standard equipment for ordinary infantry ... Moreover, the cost of this equipment is also very low, and it is also convenient for mass production ...

Of course, Marin later ordered that all the pieces of "mahjong mat" be nailed with a thin metal sheet. In this way, although the weight is increased, the protective power is higher ...
