Chapter 294: Skirt Armor Parts of Foot Armor
Marching again, Li Mengxi's car was followed by two cavalrymen, one was a middle-aged man and the other was a young man who was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old.
After asking, it turned out that the two of them were transferred here by Liu Bei.
The middle-aged man's name is Wang Lin, and the young man's name is Wang Li.
When Li Mengxi heard that both of them had the surname Wang, he asked out of curiosity, "Huh? You both have the surname Wang. Are you the same as General Wang Lu..."
As expected, both of them are relatives of Wang Lu.
The middle-aged Wang Lin is the eldest brother of the Yellow Turban General Wang Lu, and the young Wang Li is the nephew of the Yellow Turban General Wang Lu.
At this point, Li Mengxi understood that Wang Lu was arranging errands for people close to him. This man was smart, and he didn't have to fight in the rear. Such a good errand would not benefit others.
Wang Lu does have some ability to do business, Li Mengxi smiled.
As the armor-making work continued, Li Mengxi encountered a problem.
Even though the breastplate was difficult to weave, Li Mengxi finished it bit by bit.
The general shape of a braided short-sleeved T-shirt.
When it came to knitting the skirt armor, Li Mengxi originally thought that the skirt armor was easy to knit. He had to weave a large armor piece and a large long armor strip, and then tied it around the waist to form the skirt armor, which is the same as the simple braiding method for a helmet.
But when I finished braiding a very wide and long nail strip and was about to show the effect to Xiao Bian, I realized that it couldn't be put on.
There is no way to fasten the armor strips to the waist, nor to tie them with ropes. The armor strips are so heavy that even if you try hard to tie them up, they will keep falling down and fall off within two steps.
Li Mengxi thought hard for a long time, and suddenly he remembered.
It seems that the skirt armor and breastplate in the armor are integrated!
Specifically, it is like a child's cotton trousers or a girl's suspender skirt. The breastplate and the skirt are connected together. When wearing and fixing, the suspenders are hung on both shoulders, which solves the problem of wearing and fixing.
Bu Renjia's so-called skirt armor, this "skirt" style is a suspender dress! It is not a separate skirt.
Li Mengxi remembered again that the breastplate of the walking armor should be a simple small breastplate, while the arm guards, shoulder armor and long arm armor should be a set, just like a waistcoat.
The waistcoat has a protective area that protects half of the chest, a defense for the shoulders, and a defense for the arms and upper arms. This is a complete set of waistcoat structures.
Then, the protection of the arms is the arm armor.
Then, use greaves for the calves that cannot be protected by skirt armor.
Li Mengxi, whose memory was in tatters, finally remembered the true structure of Bu Renjia.
"A small suspender skirt, right?" Li Mengxi muttered and scratched his head.
"Then... tear it down!" He cheered up and got busy again.
During this time, there was a quarrel outside.
It turned out that uncle and nephew Wang Li, Wang Li, and Lin, who came to take orders, were quarreling.
After all, Wang Li was an active young man. He thought it was too slow to follow the car, so he wanted to ride a horse and slide forward.
His uncle scolded him.
Li Mengxi heard it in the car and laughed secretly.
In the blink of an eye, another day passes.
The main body of Part A is finished.
The helmet, crown, cuirass and skirt of the dress are gone.
The arm armor has not been braided, and the greaves have not been braided either.
This was the first time Li Mengxi had his armor made, and it was made according to his younger brother's stature, so the size might not be the right size.
The size is inappropriate, but it fits the reality perfectly.
Armor is a general armament. A set of armor can be worn by many people. People have different body types. This requires a certain amount of redundancy in the armor. It can be worn by both larger and smaller armors.
If it's too big and falls off, and if it's too small it doesn't fit, then the armor will be a failure.
By the time we set up camp in the evening.
Li Mengxi woke up his sleeping brother.
Xiao Bian rubbed his eyes and got up, "What are you doing?" Xiao Bian looked sleepy.
"Let's go, Xiao Brick," Li Mengxi held the heavy armor and shook it with a bang. He looked excited, "Our armor is ready!"
Xiao Zhuan was reluctantly pulled out of the car by Li Mengxi.
At this time, camp had already begun.
Li Mengxi didn't care about anything else and asked Xiao Bian to stand still. Li Mengxi squatted on the ground to help him put on the armor.
Put on the helmet first, then the armor.
No, the helmet is so big. Once you put it on, it becomes difficult to wear armor.
Take it off and put it on again.
The armor is put on first, and after the armor is put on Xiaobian, the mantle is put on, and then the helmet is put on.
A set of decent armor, when Xiao Bian wears it, it will look like that.
All I saw was that there was a barrel-shaped armor fastened on Little Brick's head. The armor was like a belt, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. At the neck, a ring of armor completely surrounded the neck, just like a scarf.
This is the sentence structure.
The defensive structure of the neck is fundamentally different from that of the Han basin collar armor.
The neck protection of the basin collar armor is given to the collar of the body armor, while the walking armor is given to the extension of the helmet.
Naturally, it is more reasonable to choose Renjia.
Further down, there is the shawl. The shawl is like a half-T-shirt. The chest and shoulder armor are connected together, protecting the shoulders, half of the chest, and arms.
Then there is the body armor of the main body. The body armor and skirt armor are connected into one, and the skirt armor hangs down naturally, really like a knee-length skirt.
Well, it's pretty close to the image of Bu Renjia in my impression.
Li Mengxi was looking up and down, and Xiao Zhuan was also looking at the armor he was wearing, "Brother, this is really heavy."
Xiao Bian was uncomfortable under the pressure of the armor.
Shen is very normal. Although this set of nails is small, the nails used are several hundred larger.
"Come on, Xiao Brick, take two steps." Li Mengxi encouraged.
Little Brick started walking, but before he could take two steps, Little Brick stumbled and fell down.
Little Brick fell down and struggled a few times to get up, but failed.
"Brother, I can't get up." Xiao Zhuan asked for help aggrievedly.
Li Mengxi laughed and helped his brother up.
Support your brother and continue walking.
After walking a few more steps, my brother refused to go any further because the armor was really heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
The younger brother said nothing and would not leave. He would lie on the ground and roll around and would not get up.
There was no other way, so Li Mengxi had no choice but to take off his armor and wear it himself to see how it turned out.
The surroundings were suddenly crowded with people. The soldiers who were supposed to set up tents and make fires to prepare meals dropped all their work and looked curiously at the iron bucket-like armor on Li Mengxi's body.
Li Mengxi wore the armor on his body. Speaking of which, it was a bit difficult to wear the armor by himself.
After putting on the body armor, Li Mengxi immediately noticed the problem by just raising his hand. He frowned slightly and tried to raise his hand again.
Can't lift my hand.
The sleeves of the arm armor are stiff and stiff, and if the arms are inserted into them, they cannot move.
When Xiao Bian wore it, he couldn't move it because he didn't understand the armor, so he didn't say anything.
When Li Mengxi put it on and couldn't move his hands, he immediately discovered it.
This isn't right.
Li Mengxi lowered his head and glanced at the long arm armor. The arm armor was so long that it looked like an iron pipe. He then raised his head and looked at the surrounding soldiers. He saw that some of the soldiers had prickly armor on their bodies. The arms only extended beyond the shoulders.
A little, a short length.
Is it too long?
Li Mengxi was confused.
But it's still wrong. In my impression, Bu Renjia's shoulders are also very long.
It shouldn't be a matter of form.
Chapter completed!
