Although he couldn't help laughing, the younger brother didn't know why the older brother suddenly laughed, but there was no need to explain to the younger brother: "Actually, I was just fooling you." There was no need to explain like this.

So Liu Bei and Guan Yu laughed at Li Mengxi, but Li Mengxi was confused.

Liu Bei didn't know Zhang Liao before, but now he knew Zhang Liao's name after Guan Yu casually mentioned it.

Although Guan Yu exaggerated Liao's bravery, Liu Bei guessed the truth from Guan Yu's words and expression, that is, Zhang Liao was indeed brave, but not as brave as his second brother.

Liu Bei didn't ask a question, but he could hear the hidden meaning. Li Mengxi didn't have this ability.

The subtlety of it can only be understood slowly by Li Mengxi himself.

——

Guan Yu took off the green scarf on his head, picked up the iron jacket and tried to put it on his head.

When Guan Yu put it on, he was very embarrassed and couldn't put it on at all.

"Xi'er, your iron jacket is too small." Guan Yu returned the iron jacket to Li Mengxi, "Did you make it for yourself? I guess you can wear it yourself." Guan Yu said with a smile.

There is no problem with the iron armor. The armor plates are pressed very densely. Because it is small, it looks more delicate, but it is really too small.

"It's not made up for me, it's made up for Brick. I make it up myself, so I can't tell whether it's appropriate. But when I make it up for Brick, I can tell at a glance whether it's appropriate or not." Li Mengxi explained that Tie Zhou made it so small.

reason.

In fact, the reason for making Brick's armor first is not only for the convenience of seeing the effect, but also for protecting Brick. Weaving a suit of armor that suits Brick will give him an extra layer of protection.

The war is in chaos, so be careful.

Li Mengxi knitted the helmet with proficiency as he fumbled around.

On August 16, Li Mengxi began to prepare the meal.

In the morning, Li Mengxi was still working on finishing items in the afternoon.

Helmets are easy to make, and armor may be easy to make as well. However, it is very difficult to connect the helmet and armor for a set of armor. Therefore, helmets and armor are generally separated.

However, since then, there are loopholes in neck protection. The fragile neck is one of the key points of the human body, but there are no good protective measures.

The solution that the armor craftsmen of the Han Dynasty came up with was to embellished a basin-shaped inverted armor skirt around the armor's shoulders and front and back chest. The armor skirt was like a raised collar, which could protect armor and helmets.

Protect your fragile neck.

Because the nails are decorated with a basin-shaped collar, this type of nails is called basin-shaped collar nails.

The basin collar armor can indeed defend against attacks on the neck very well, but due to various reasons such as inconvenient maintenance, the basin collar armor was slowly eliminated after the Han Dynasty.

The defense of the neck is the weak point of the armor. After the Han Dynasty, the collar was replaced by the collar.

Now Li Mengxi is worried about Dunxiang.

The basin collar armor of the Han Dynasty left the defense of the neck to the armor, allowing the armor to raise the collar to protect the neck.

The collar is the opposite of the collar. The collar is a part that extends from the helmet to protect the neck. This is essentially different from the collar.

The armor had already been knitted. When Li Mengxi started knitting the knot, he thought of using the method of knitting an armor skirt, knitting the armor pieces along the way. Then when the helmet was put on, the armor skirt hung down like a veil, just blocking the way.

Throat.

But halfway through knitting, Li Mengxi discovered a problem. The nail pieces were different from cloth. They had no softness at all.

After braiding a long armor skirt, I put the iron jacket on Brick's head, but found that it couldn't fit in. Because the armor skirt hung down on my shoulders, I stood up in shock.

In order to solve this problem, Li Mengxi thought for a while and decided to cut the armor skirt left and right, so that the armor skirt could be separated on the front and back sides along the shoulders, so as not to prop up the armor.

But since then, another problem has arisen. The front and rear are blocked, but the left and right sides of the head have gaps in defense.

Moreover, the armor skirt is very long and very heavy, almost making the helmet more than twice as heavy.

In order to protect a small area of ​​​​the neck, too much useless weight is added.

After the armor skirt was woven, Tie Jiao only wore it for his younger brother once, and Brick complained that his head hurt.

Li Mengxi tried wearing it once, but as soon as he put it on, Shen's neck was so pressed that he couldn't straighten it up.

This won't work.

You cannot use the braiding skirt method to braid your items.

Li Mengxi looked at the sky, his eyes empty and motionless, and he entered the thinking mode again.

How did the armor's armor come about? Under the iron armor of the infantry armor is a large ring of armor as thick as a tire...

Li Mengxi probably understood that the armor skirt he knitted was to completely protect the neck by sacrificing the vertical width and using a long, drooping armor skirt. The principle is similar to that of a veil.

The structure of the bridge of the Buren armor is more like a collar, and the bridge of the Buren armor saves weight.

But, how exactly is it compiled...

Li Mengxi stared at the sky motionless for half a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that he had stopped moving, his younger brother crawled over and stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but Li Mengxi still didn't move.

Just when his younger brother was a little scared and wanted to push him, Li Mengxi came back from his thoughts.

"The armor skirt seems simple, but it wastes weight. Instead, weaving a ring around the neck saves weight." Li Mengxi nodded and muttered to himself.

As soon as he lowered his head and saw his younger brother, Li Mengxi grabbed his younger brother and pushed him on his lap.

His neck was scratched and it was itching. Brick couldn't help shrinking his neck and chuckling, "Brother, it's itchy. Don't touch me. It's itching."

Li Mengxi pressed his younger brother on his lap and measured his neck and shoulder circumference with his hands.

"One circle is about... fifty or sixty beetle leaves." Li Mengxi roughly calculated the number.

Use nails leaves to make a scarf. Depending on the size of the bricks and the size of the nails, roughly three rows of nails are enough.

After figuring out the key, instead of weaving on the iron armor at the beginning, Li Mengxi first took the armor pieces and weaved the armor circles separately.

This section lasts most of the day.

In the evening, Li Mengxi looked at the braided iron necklace, blew on his scratched fingers, and put the iron necklace on his brother's head.

Brick was very curious about the thing around his neck. He touched it around and asked his brother what it was.

"Brick, move your neck." Li Mengxi demonstrated to his younger brother, asking him to move his neck up, down, left and right to see if the movement was flexible.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Judging from the results of my brother's activities, it will not affect flexibility too much.

What about the defense? Are there any loopholes?

It would be no problem for the enemy's attack to hit the front of Dun Xiang, but he was afraid that the enemy would use a gun to pierce it through the slit under the Dun Xiang, and it would hit the throat just right, killing him instantly.

Asking his restless brother to stand still, Li Mengxi lay on the ground and looked up to see if the collarbone and collarbone fit well, and how big the gap was.

Unfortunately, Li Mengxi was not satisfied with the results of the observation. If the infantry soldiers fought hand to hand with the enemy, the two sides hugged each other and beat each other. A small knife went diagonally upwards along the seam of Dun Xiang's armor, directly breaking the defense.

Such a big loophole cannot be called a loophole.

Even if it is plate armor, the most powerful ultimate armor on earth, if a knight wearing plate armor falls, he will still be stabbed to death by someone using a short knife from the undefended place behind his butt.

No kind of armor is completely like a piece of iron, without any flaws.

Li Mengxi touched his chin and thought for a while, "You still have to have a stand-up collar." Li Mengxi said to himself.

I thought that since it was a special item, there was no need to put a high collar on the armor like the basin collar armor.

But in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from under the collar, Li Mengxi decided to weave a small armor collar to half-protect his throat when weaving the armor later. In this way, if the enemy stabbed in from under the collar with a gun or knife, the collar would be

It can also serve as secondary protection.

If you can't even guard against the armor collar, there's nothing you can do.

It's getting dark again, and once I get busy, I can't feel the passage of time.

The baggage train arrived near a grassy beach, but no one knew where it was.

Seeing that the village warriors had already begun to set up camp, and some were cutting grass to light a fire, Li Mengxi shook his neck from side to side, stood up, and jumped out of the car.

"Brick, come down."

Li Mengxi called him younger brother.

The younger brother didn't want to come down, "What are you doing?"

"Come down and play for a while." Li Mengxi said.

After braiding for a day, Li Mengxi was so tired that his back ached.

"It's about six or seven o'clock." Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a little late to set up camp today.

The younger brother heard his older brother muttering, and out of curiosity, he immediately asked, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"No." Li Mengxi refused to discuss.

"You just said it! I heard it all." He turned around and said nonchalantly, "Did you mean something, right?" Brick raised his little head and asked seriously.

Li Mengxi lowered his head and hit his brother's head with his own head.

"Are you hungry?" Li Mengxi looked into his younger brother's eyes and asked. Compared with those days in the Yellow Turban Army, his younger brother's eyes were much more energetic.

"I'm hungry." Brick rubbed his belly, then raised his head, jumped slightly, and hit his brother with a thump, "Brother, are you hungry?" Brick asked.

"I'm hungry too." Li Mengxi said while tugging at his brother's clothes.
