The amount of work involved in weaving armor is huge. Even if it is a small child-sized armor, it cannot be finished in a short time.

The moon slowly moved across the sky, and when Xiao Zhuan fell asleep, Li Mengxi sent Xiao Zhuan back, and then came back to continue weaving armor.

I finally learned the key to the art of weaving Buren armor. I won’t be able to sleep until I finish weaving the armor.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei also had the same idea, and continued to be busy instead of resting.

In this way, time passed little by little, and the accumulated armor pieces were reduced piece by piece. When the sky was getting white, the step armor was finally finished.

Even if he doesn't wear it on his body, Li Mengxi knows that the armor he made all night long is very good, because it is very similar to the foot armor in his impression - a body armor like a long dress with a split skirt armor at the front, like a small waistcoat.

Long sleeves and draped shoulders are the two most important parts of the armor, and they look very similar to each other.

Except for the helmet, it's just a walking armor.

The helmet of infantry armor should be a full iron helmet, or a helmet riveted with iron bars, that is, the helmet of infantry armor has a top.

The current helmet is made by randomly weaving armor strips into the shape of a long turban and directly tying them into loops.

When the armor was ready, Liu Bei and Guan Yu took the armor and the mantle, and urged Li Mengxi to put them on quickly and try them on.

It can be seen that the two of them also value the fruits of one night's work.

Although Li Mengxi and his younger brother are a few years apart, their statures are not too different.

The armor is made to fit his younger brother's body, and Li Mengxi can wear it even if it is a little tight.

In the late Han Dynasty, it was common to wear iron armor, which was almost like a T-shirt. Therefore, it was worn in the same way as a T-shirt, just holding a headgear.

From this, there is a serious structural problem in the iron armor worn by the Han Dynasty. The iron armor is not like autumn clothes. The collar of autumn clothes can be very small and elastic, and the head can be drilled into it.

Iron armor is not elastic, so the collar must be made very large to make it easier for the head to fit in.

In this way, a large piece of Hanzha armor's collar is exposed.

The neckline is also the location of the collarbone, throat, carotid artery and other vital organs.

The armor of the Han Dynasty was a serious injury to the defense of the collar. So how did the armor craftsmen of the Han Dynasty solve this problem?

A raised basin collar is knitted around the shoulders. The basin collar is turned upside down like a basin to protect the collar and neck.

Herein lies the problem. It is extremely troublesome to assemble the basin collar, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Generally speaking, a complete Hanzha armor should have a basin collar so that the defensive flaws at the collar will not be exposed.

But if mass production is really required and there are a large number of armor gaps, all parties will probably save the basin collar. The beggar's version of the soldier's armor has almost no defense on the neck.

When a man wears armor by force, it is like putting on a T-shirt, putting the armor from head to body.

The body armor of the Bu Renjia is like wearing cotton trousers, worn from the legs up.

Then hang the two shoulder straps on your shoulders.

The moment the armor was hung on his shoulders, Li Mengxi felt his shoulders sink. This armor was so damn heavy!

The body armor does not protect the shoulders, nor the arms, but is only the size of a small breastplate.

The skirt armor connected to the body armor hangs down to the knees.

Li Mengxi moved twice and felt that the armor was okay.

Liu Bei put the mantle on Li Mengxi again.

The body armor did not take into account the defense of the shoulders and arms. When the shoulders were draped and worn, the shoulders and arms were completely blocked.

The idea of ​​​​resolving the connecting parts of body shoulders, shoulders, necks, skirts and shins in Burenjia is-overlap.

Due to technical limitations, there is no way to make a complete set of armor for the whole body. The body armor that only protects the chest is easy to make. Making the breastplate and shoulder armor together is another level of difficulty.

Therefore, the breastplate does not protect the shoulders, but the shawl is made very long, like a small waistcoat, which protects the shoulders.

In the same way, if you can't protect your neck by covering your shoulders, you can extend the helmet downwards a few times to protect your neck.

Furthermore, the greaves, also known as leg armor, are only as long as the calf, but the greaves can only protect the calves, but what about the thighs?

Still using the defensive overlap method, if the greaves cannot protect above the knees, then let the skirt armor hang down below the knees.

From the lowest edge of the skirt armor to the middle of the greaves, half of the greaves is blocked under the skirt armor.

In this way, there will be no loopholes in the defense at the joint joints.

Further down, the greaves are easy to knit, as are the armor boots. But knitting the greaves together with the armor boots is another level of difficulty.

The solution is to weave the boot armor and greaves separately.

The greaves are braided as usual, and the armor boots are slightly high-waisted, and the waistband of the boots is put on the greaves. In this way, the defenses of the boot armor and the greaves overlap again, and the ankle where the joints are connected is also protected.

In this way, from head to toe, there is an iron armor on the head. The helmet hangs down to the neck, which completely protects the neck. The shawl protects the shoulders and the lower half of the chest. Further down, the skirt hangs down past the knees and above the knees.

, including half of the calf, was completely protected by the skirt armor, and the greaves protected the calf from the knee down. At the bottom, the high-waisted boot armor protected the feet and ankles.

Under the idea of ​​defense nesting, there is a deliberate defense overlap between the parts of the infantry armor, which perfectly solves the defense problem at the joint.

There are also wrist armors. It is very easy to weave a single wrist armor, but it is quite difficult to weave an extra-long arm armor from the wrist to the shoulder.

Therefore, it is still nested.

The shawl is longer than the elbow and reaches the forearm, while the wrist armor is from the wrist to the elbow.

There is an overlap of half the length of the forearm, reaching 100% defense area.

According to the same principle, the wrist armor is already there, but the wrist is still exposed. If you knit skirt armor gloves, you can knit the gloves a little longer, and then nest the gloves into the wrist armor, and the defense overlaps, perfectly protecting the wrist.

Living.

Therefore, the core technical point of Burenjia is the soft tying method, and the technical details requirements are——

The neckband should extend past the shin, the shawl should extend past the elbow to half of the forearm, the skirt must extend past the knee and reach the middle of the calf, and the boot armor must be long boots.

In this way, each part can be nested layer by layer, so that there are no dead ends in defense.

After Li Mengxi put on his armor, Liu Bei and Guan Yu pulled him and asked him to spin around.

Li Mengxi then walked around in circles, and then said to give way for two steps, and then Li Mengxi left.

Li Mengxi ran if told to run.

When Li Mengxi became interested in playing, he swung his fists and swept his legs on the spot, performing a set of paradoxical punches.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu had a bright smile on their faces when they saw Li Mengxi looking so childish.

When Li Mengxi was doing somersaults on the spot, his armor was heavy and he couldn't fight, so he fell directly.

Simply, Li Mengxi rolled on the ground twice and many more times.

Li Mengxi was seriously testing the flexibility of the armor. Liu Bei and Guan Yu didn't know it. They just thought Li Mengxi was playing by himself and couldn't help laughing.
