Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 77

Li Mu's faint voice sounded in this small attic, the rough man's movements paused, and the old man with gray temples on the small balcony also turned his head at this time, and his eyes happened to meet Li Mu's.

"Do you know how to make armor from the mid-Tang period?" the rough man asked suspiciously, while Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know the specific manufacturing process, but I know a little about the process of the armor-piercing plate. Didn't you just talk about this thing?"

"What, do you think that what the old man said is what it is? You boy who knows nothing about feelings, go read your book and go fast."

Hearing the words, the rough man was once again unhappy. He thought this young man knew the shape of the armor of the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that he is just a guy who knows a little bit.

He even came here to pretend to be deep with himself, he really thinks highly of himself.

Thinking of this, the rough man immediately started to push him away, Li Mu stared at the other party's still tough attitude, and now he only sighed in his heart that he was really meddling, so he turned around and prepared to go on.

"This little friend wait a minute."

At this moment, the older voice came from the balcony. The rough man and Li Mu paused for a moment. Li Mu turned his head and saw this old man with a generous face standing up and looking at him.

"Xiao Ma, put away your violent temper, and don't always judge people by their age."

"Old Du, you really treat yourself like a bole, and come here to find a bosom friend? Such a brat, in his twenties, how can he know anything."

The strong man surnamed Ma said to the old man surnamed Du impatiently, but the other party didn't care at all, but walked over directly.

Li Mu watched the other party walk in front of him, and immediately nodded slightly.

"Du Lu. I don't know who this little friend is?" the old man asked Li Mu.

"Li Mu, I just passed by here, and I happened to hear you guys discussing this thing. I also like the armor of the Tang Dynasty. I wanted to take a look. I offended you. Please forgive me."

Li Mu knew that his actions were impulsive in the first place. If it wasn't for bringing what he knew back to modern times, Li Mu wouldn't have come here.

"Mabia, the owner of this store."

The rough man standing beside him also snorted coldly at this time, and introduced himself to Li Mu reluctantly.

The three parties knew each other, so Ma Biao didn't stop Li Mu anymore, and Du Lu immediately invited Li Mu to go to the balcony to have a look at the Mingguang armor that he thought was piercing the wrong way.

Li Mu went to the balcony. On this teahouse, a pair of gleaming golden armor was placed on the table. I saw that this armor was woven with many pieces of armor, and there were two large shiny discs on the chest of the armor. It is the most obvious feature of Mingguang armor.

"This piece of armor is a restoration piece made by my Armor Association for a wealthy businessman upon invitation. However, due to the control of military products in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing is rarely seen in funeral objects, so this piece of armor is basically made by me. The pony was restored according to the murals and sculptures in the Mogao Grottoes, and there are still discrepancies in the descriptions in many places and ancient books."

Du Lu stood in front of Li Mu at this moment, pointed to the armor on the table and said, Li Mu pointed at the armor right now, and then turned to look at Du Lu.

"You can take a look, of course, these nails are actually made of iron and copper-plated. They are thicker and look better."

Li Mu got the other party's instruction, and immediately bent down to pick up the armor, looked at the scales and long armor on it, these armors were put on in a patchwork, and then tied the edges tightly with leather and cotton cloth. The color of the fabric is mostly blue, red and yellow, so it looks very bright.

But just looking through it, Li Mu recalled Li Siye's armor again, and immediately found the problem.

"This is a general's armor in the style of bright light armor, right?" Li Mu turned to Du Lu and asked. Du Lu raised his eyebrows and then nodded. Ma Biao next to him was still impatient and clasped his fists.

"Does it mean that we will spend a lot of effort to restore a piece of soldier armor?"

Li Mu didn't care about the opponent, but turned the armor on the belly of the armor from the inside, and then pointed to the red rope on it and said: "The Tang Dynasty armor basically abandoned the armor-piercing form of the armor, and the long armor The quantity has also become very small, and it is only used on the waist and abdomen, and the rest of the place will be covered with fish scales."

"But the long piece of armor here uses a method similar to that of the fish scale armor. The top and bottom of the armor are stable, but the left and right are loose, and they are very abrasive to the rope."

The reason why Li Mu knows this is because his Shan Wen armor is also worn in two ways. The shield under the helmet is made of long armor, and the armor of the whole body is made of fish scale armor. .

It is true that Li Mu couldn't help being curious when he saw such a gorgeous armor at the time. He asked himself and the people around him, and some veterans thought it was Li Mu who wanted to know something and said it all. These things are very impressive.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Li Mu is almost comparable to one or two real armor masters, because they do not have the memory of seeing real armor like Li Mu in their minds.

"Is the wrong method used too much?"

Du Li raised his eyebrows, but he realized the problem at the moment, and quickly lowered his head to observe. Ma Biao, who was next to him, also had a changed expression at this time, and stretched his head over.

"Well, the whole armor is almost all wrongly pierced. I can't see the armor piercing method. In fact, you can also refer to the armor piercing method of the Han Dynasty, because they are all inherited armor methods."

Li Mu didn't know the name of the fish scale armor's method of binding the armor, but Du Lu gave himself a step down, and Li Mu naturally would not let this opportunity pass.

"It's our negligence, Xiao Ma, didn't you say that those experts were right? They didn't find such an obvious problem."

Du Li immediately turned his head and said to Ma Biao who was next to him. Ma Biao's face froze and he opened his mouth, but he turned his head and looked to the other side with some displeasure.

Li Mu didn't pay attention to these, but turned over the armor again, and even touched the shape on it with nostalgia.

"Little friend, did you find anything wrong?" Du Lu continued to ask Li Mu at this time, but Li Mu shook his head. In fact, this pair of armor is quite different from the bright light armor of Li Siye he saw. But Li Mu just came here to remember this extraordinary memory, so there is no need to say too much.

"Other problems are similar, and it doesn't matter if you don't change it. It's just that the belly armor is wrong. It needs to be completely dismantled and redone."

"It's not a matter, just let the pony do it."

"Damn it, Old Du, don't leave me with any questions. The workers have been polishing such a piece of armor for several months. Twenty or so people participated in the production. It took three days to wear these pieces of armor. Disassembled and reinstalled? I don't have such a big face."

Ma Biao said with a face of reluctance, but Du Lu snorted coldly.

"Just like that, I have the nerve to say that I am an armor lover. You took care of this matter at the beginning, so you have to finish it well."

"It was at the beginning, and now is now, let's forget it. Anyway, I just think that this general is worthless." Ma Biao said with a pouted mouth, but he saw Li Mu standing up suddenly.

Li Mu turned around, looked at Ma Biao, and asked indifferently: "Brother Ma, why do you think that this deputy general is not good enough?"

Ma Biao was blocked by Li Mu's sudden words, seeing Du Lu staring at him, but at the moment he felt very uncomfortable being humiliated by a child, so he said bravely.

"This Mingguang armor has two big bronze mirrors on the chest. The whole body is so colorful. Isn't it a living target on the battlefield? Moreover, the armor's protection is not as good as the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty. If the enemy finds out, a few shots A bow and arrow can kill the man who wears this armor."

"The generals are dead, why do you want to fight?"

Ma Biao said stiffly, but he saw Li Mu, a young man with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely deep.

"Little Ma, that's fine, it's very rude for you to say that again." Du Lu also spoke quickly at this time, explaining to Li Mu next to him.

"Li Xiaoyou, don't take offense. This guy has a straight temper. We can still see the usefulness of the general armor. This is a good armor."

"Uncle Du, Brother Ma is right, this armor is indeed a little fancy."

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly opened his mouth. Du Lu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say when he heard this sentence. Ma Biao, who was standing beside him, also looked surprised at the moment.

However, Li Mu didn't notice the expressions of the two of them, he just stretched out his hand to touch the armor in front of him, and said lightly.

"Actually, the generals on the ancient battlefield didn't know this. From the Xuanjia of the Han Dynasty to the Mingguang armor, the reason why the armor becomes brighter is not because the generals in command don't want to live longer..."

When Li Mu said this sentence, he glanced at Du Lu and Ma Biao.

"It's just that on that battlefield, the general is the pillar of every soldier's heart. A general in bright armor can make every soldier see clearly that his general is by his side."

"With the backbone at their side, their hearts will be full of courage. Even if the front is extremely dangerous, they dare to shout and swing their knives and go forward bravely."
