Chapter 1503: UFO Hat Helmet

The opponent's mud mound can't stop the bombardment of our own heavyweight shells, but our own mud mound can block the opponent's bombardment of two or three pounds of small artillery shells ... how can they be crushed ...

Marin suddenly felt that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. For example, this Gonzalo de Cordova is a true hero among the indigenous people of this era. Originally, the famous Spanish phalanx was invented by his old man. However, after Marin traversed, he should not create his own face, but also named "Marin Phalanx" ...

However, Gonzalo de Cordoba still has a real ability, for example, the earth wall he made out easily blocked the French small-bore infantry artillery, allowing the French to crush the English Longbowmen. 'S artillery array lost its power.

The French had hundreds of artillery, but they were all small-bore infantry guns of one or two pounds. In the face of the English long archers who were only defended by inclined wooden spikes, the French artillery was so powerful that the long archers cultivated in England for more than ten years were bombarded, which laid the status of European hegemony. Gonzalo de Cordoba, directly digging trenches to pile up the earth wall, directly giving the French hundreds of small caliber artillery advantages. The Spanish musketeer, however, can easily hide behind the earth wall and shoot the French knight who rushed up ...

However, this should not blame Malin. Strictly speaking, the future generations of Marin are ordinary people, but they often visit military forums. All his tactical ideas were learned from the great military strategists in history. Therefore, he is actually a king of cottage. For example, this phalanx is a cottage from Gonzalo de Cordoba. Moreover, the cottage is not complete. Because, he lost Gonzalo de Cordoba ’s earthwork skills ...

This is so because the thinking of Marin's future generations is being blamed. According to the memories of later generations of Marin, the ordinary mounds are good for dealing with bullets. In the face of artillery, even the most garbage cannon in later generations cannot be stopped.

But he forgot that in this era of Europe, the artillery used was so weak. For example, the French light gun has a range of only two or three hundred meters. In later generations, a small-caliber artillery with a range of several thousand kilometers could not be compared.

Therefore, he would have a wrong judgment, that the mound could not block the artillery. But Gonzalo de Cordova told him with facts-in this era, mounds can also block artillery shells ...

Fortunately, Marin is not a paranoid person, willing to learn the strengths of others. As a result, the artillery units of the North Sea State expanded. For example, the original artillery battalion was sent to 180 people and served 18 guns. However, Marin added 120 people. In addition to helping to transport the shells, the additional manpower also has the responsibility of helping to dig pits and pile mounds. In this way, if there is a battle against the enemy in the future, the artillery loss of the North Sea State will not be great.

...

Seeing 18 cannons lined up in a row, King Edward was envious. He ran to the artillery, touched it, knocked, his eyes full of envy ...

"How much copper does such a large artillery cost?"

He didn't see that the 32-pound Karen guns were all made of steel, because the Marlin chicken thieves had people paint the exterior and muzzle of the gun with gold paint. It looks like a bronze gun. Of course, no one would think of it as a golden gun ...

Looking at Edward with his envious face, Marin chuckled and said:

"Without much copper, a gun can use a few thousand pounds (a few hundred kilos) ..."

This is very pretense, because, in this era, European copper prices are very expensive. The ratio of silver to copper is 1 to 15, which means that a gun is worth hundreds of pounds of silver ...

After listening to Marin's words, Edward sucked. He didn't have that much money, but in order to maintain the 20,000 army in London, he was in a hurry. Where can he buy a bronze gun? Therefore, he can only envy. Fortunately, Marin is his nominal vassal, willing to send a cannon to fight for him ...

...

Because the 20,000 people have not been shipped by ship, the Dublin army is now a bit boring. Edward simply let the army begin to practice tactics in preparation for the upcoming battle.

But Ireland is a rainy country, with rainy seasons throughout the year. Even though Dublin is on the east coast, it is raining in the winter, which brings great inconvenience to the military exercises ...

For example, when the Knights of England practiced the charge, because of the rain, they were directly caught by the rain halfway through the charge. In one exercise, the two knights collided directly and both were injured.

"What's going on?" Edward asked badly.

The officer in charge of the investigation said helplessly:

"The rain is too heavy to open your eyes ..."

Marin thought deeply that he would not be able to open his eyes if he encountered heavy rain when he was riding an electric bicycle and he did not have a helmet with goggles. In particular, during the assault, the eyes were hit the most by the rain, making people unable to open their eyes.

The helmets of European knights are currently bucket helmets. The mask can move up and down. Normally, the mask is stuck on the top of the helmet. Before the battle, the knights will pull down the mask, protect the face, and then charge ...

But in any case, the face mask will not block. Otherwise, the knight will become blind. But his eyes are exposed to the outside. Once he rushes up and encounters a rainy day, it will surely not be opened by the rain ...

"What should I do?" Edward sighed.

If it were in other parts of Europe, it would be a big truce on a rainy day, and then wait for the sunny day. But this part of Ireland has rain all year round for 12 months. If you really want to see rain, stop and wait, unless you do n’t want to hit ...

"Marin, can you help to figure out a way?" Edward can only count on Marin, the "schematic" subordinate. Moreover, Marin has never let him down ...

...

"This ... I think about it ..." Marin pondered ...

Marin first thought of the hats commonly used in the southern China in later generations. This large bamboo woven hat can prevent rain. Moreover, because of the large brim, the eyes of people wearing Daili will not be disturbed by rain, which will affect their eyesight ...

But Marin quickly ruled out the hats, because he could not let those England knights wear hats. After all, Dou Li has no protection, and those knights who cherish their lives will certainly not be willing to wear them.

As for wearing the bucket hat on the bucket helmet? This is feasible. However, once the battle was fierce, the knight charged up, and it was very easy for the hats on the bucket helmet to fall. In this way, the knight's sight will be affected by the rain again ...

"Unless, add a brim to the knight's bucket helmet ..."

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly came up with a kind of hat-a flying saucer hat. At the same time, I also think of a stalk-a director named Li, known as the "flying saucer hat director" ...

The legendary director Li Rengang seems to have an unusual preference for the saucer cap. You just use the UFO hat in "Jin Yiwei". After all, during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, UFO hats were indeed very popular helmets in the military.

But what does it mean to use the flying saucer cap in the "Three Kingdoms' Dragon Unloading Armor" with the background of the Three Kingdoms and the "Heavenly Master" in the Western Han Dynasty as the background? History teacher died early or let the physical education teacher substitute? You know, the UFO hat only appeared in the Yuan Dynasty ...

However, Tucao belongs to Tucao, but Marin knows that this kind of flying saucer cap is really good for fighting in rain. With a wide brim, rain can't easily hit the knight's eyes ...

So, Marin hurriedly let the army blacksmiths in the British army of Dublin build out a few UFO hats for the Knights of England to try.

However, those knights refused to use the saucer cap. The reason is very simple-the UFO cap is not easy to install the mask ...

The helmets of the plate armoured knights all have movable face masks. Normally, the face masks are pushed to the top of the head, and the face is exposed. Only when fighting, will the mask be pulled down.

The wide brim of the UFO cap makes it impossible to pull the mask up or down. In this way, the faces of the knights are very dangerous in the war. Therefore, the knights refused to use this kind of UFO helmet that could not install a mask ...

Feedback to Marin here, Marin snapped his head and said:

"Hi, what should I do? This is simple, look at my modification!"

Then, Marin only modified the blacksmith and changed the mask into a mask that can be pulled down ...

This design is the design in the World of Warcraft game played by Marin with reference to the previous life. At the beginning, when he played 8.0, he saw that the guards of the island country of Kul Tiras were wearing this UFO hat with a pull-down mask.

The prototype of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras in the game is actually England. Because England is similar to the Kingdom of Kul Tiras in the game, they are rainy and cloudy countries. In this rainy area, a UFO-hat helmet with a pull-down mask is indeed very suitable ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Soon, this UFO-hat helmet with a pull-down mask was made and given to the Knights of England Let's try ...

In fact, England also had UFO-hat helmets at this time. However, because no one thought about the use of a pull-down mask, making the flying saucer hat less secure than a bucket helmet, so few riders like to wear a flying saucer hat.

However, the design of Marin's pull-down mask has ensured the safety of the flying saucer helmet. Then, it was happily accepted by the English Knights ...

And Edward is also very simple:

"Okay, this style of Knight's helmet in England will be adopted in the future!"

After all, England is also a rainy and foggy island country. This UFO hat helmet suitable for use in rainy weather is very suitable for the weather needs of England ...

In this way, a UFO hat helmet with a pull-down mask inspired by the game NPC and the UFO hat director has become standard equipment for the English knights. Even Edward himself has ordered a deluxe version of the UFO helmet with pull-down mask for personal use ...
