Chapter 415 Gathering the Yulin Armys Wool
On October 3, when the rooster crowed, Li Mengxi was awakened from his sleep. Lu Zhi was about to leave, and Liu Bei asked Li Mengxi to go and see him off.
Beside the avenue, the rebels camped and faced east, while the imperial court escorted Lu Zhi's team to face west.
Before Lu Zhi boarded the carriage, he said goodbye to everyone, "Xuande, you and I will leave here for now and see you again someday!"
Everyone bowed and said goodbye.
Lu Zhi waved his hand towards Liu Bei, turned his head, "Let's go!" Lu Zhi ordered.
The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting Lu Zhi were repaired by Zhang Fei. They no longer dared to bully Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi followed suit.
Lu Zhi walked cleanly and without any sloppiness. After a while, the army and the army disappeared into the morning mist.
When Lu Zhi left, he only took a few jars of fine wine, some eggs and meat from Liu Bei, and a few carts of silk and treasures from Liu Bei to Lu Zhi, asking Lu Zhi to take them back to Luoyang for daily use, but Lu Zhi refused.
He was woken up early in the morning to discuss the military situation with Lu Zhi last night. He had gone to bed late and got up so early this morning. Li Mengxi yawned again and again, looking like he had not slept well.
At this time, Guan Yu secretly touched Li Mengxi's shoulder with his expert hand, "Xi'er, there is something good."
Guan Yu blinked and kept secretive.
The good thing is... Li Mengxi's eyes lit up.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sneaking away with Li Mengxi to find out what they were doing. Liu Bei retracted his slight disappointment because the teacher had left, and decided to follow him and have a look.
Three people, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Li Mengxi, two big and one small, walked to Zizhong, where they saw half a cart of armors on a cart.
Li Mengxi recognized it at a glance. These armors with wings belonged to the group of officers and soldiers escorting Lu Zhi.
To be precise, they were not ordinary officers and soldiers, but the Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty.
Li Mengxi originally thought that the armor made the winged Li Mengxi think of Polish winged cavalry first, but he did not expect that the armor of the Han Yu Linshi also had back feathers.
Li Mengxi picked up a set of armor. The armor was heavy. It felt heavier than all the ordinary armor in the army. It was also different from ordinary armor. The armor pieces of Yulin Armor were small and fine. The armor pieces were newly shiny and white, and the ropes connecting the armor pieces were connected in series.
, are all a bright red color, and when I touch it with my hand, the rope is not hemp rope, it feels like satin.
The Yulin Army is worthy of the Yulin Army, they are rich to the extreme.
The lining of the fine scale armor is made of very solid fine linen. Coarse linen is often seen. This is the first time Li Mengxi has seen that linen can be spun to feel as smooth as yarn, and it feels extremely good.
What makes Li Mengxi more curious is that the Yulin Army, as the most well-armed army of the Han Dynasty, and as the face of the royal family, can the armor of the Yulinshi represent the highest level of the Han Dynasty's armor?
If this is the case, if you can know the level of Yu Linjia, you can know the approximate level of the armaments of the princes in the world.
To tell the difference between scale armor and pierced armor, the easiest way is to distinguish it from the nail plates. The armor made of long strips of armor is pierced armor. The armor is round or polygonal, close to a circle, oval and other shapes, and is made according to the arrangement of fish scales.
The armor is fish scale armor.
Judging from the way the nail pieces are braided, the nail pieces are all connected with ropes, which is a type of nail-piercing.
In general, the scale armor of the Yulinshi is exquisite in craftsmanship and well-made. It is not necessary to test the defensive power. It must be good.
What intrigued Li Mengxi the most was the dorsal feathers behind the fish scales. The dorsal feathers were made of neatly trimmed long feathers, which were glued to the wing bones made of thin bamboo strips to make them look like wings. The feathers were twisted with red dye to look like fire.
color.
"What kind of feather is this? Goose feather?" Li Mengxi asked curiously.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also studying the back feathers, "Goose?" Guan Yu sounded uncertain.
Zhang Fei was so stunned that he wanted to pull out a feather to have a look, but he felt that the armor was new and good, so he couldn't part with it.
"By the way, General Guan, how many armors were ripped off from the officers and soldiers?" Li Mengxi unexpectedly made a windfall, and he was very concerned about how big the windfall would be.
Guan Yu thought for a moment, threw the armor in his hand back into the car, and said, "There are twenty-two sets of this kind of good armor with back feathers, and there are ninety-seven sets of other types of armor."
"Also, the iron armor is eighty-five, and the feather forest armor with feathers in the middle is also twenty-two."
Good guy, really good guy. He made a fortune. He ripped off hundreds of sets of armor from the Yulin Army, including twenty sets of Yulin Army's high-end fish scale armor.
Li Mengxi smiled broadly.
The current armor rate in the Israeli army, Guan Yu's 800 soldiers, is still not enough to have one set of armor per person. Now he has nearly a hundred sets of armor. According to one Shizhong, if the commander of the corps has armor, the army can be expanded by fifty Shishi, or by five.
Hundreds of people.
With one set of armor per person, you can directly form a fully armored 100-man team.
The three of them were enjoying themselves when Liu Bei came.
With just one glance, Liu Bei immediately understood what was going on.
"...Xi'er, is this your idea?" Liu Bei picked up a collar of armor, weighed it, and looked at Li Mengxi with questioning eyes.
Li Mengxi chuckled and did not answer.
Liu Bei knew this, and Guan and Zhang would never seize the armor of the officers and soldiers.
Liu Bei was very helpless towards Li Mengxi and could not express any criticism.
Not to mention Li Mengxi, there was half a cart full of armors piled up, and Liu Bei was jealous when he saw them.
Li Mengxi was always seeking benefits for the army, not to mention meritorious service, but there was nothing wrong with it.
"Xi'er, I won't do this next time." Liu Bei said in a serious tone.
After all, A has got it, and there will be a war while talking. If A wants to continue, he can't just let it go.
Liu Bei asked how many armors there were in the cart. After asking the number, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei ten sets of the twenty-two sets of armors of the Yu Linshi. He first followed Zhang Fei's scouts.
Then, seven more sets were given to Guan Yu, leaving five sets for Liu Bei to keep for other purposes.
After taking the big head, Zhang Fei immediately beamed.
This is where Liu Bei's brilliance is revealed. Although they are all sworn brothers, no matter how close they are to each other, considering that Zhang Fei led the scouts outside during this period, sleeping in the open air and working hard, so when it came time to divide the armies, Zhang Fei was given the big head.
The brothers also settled the accounts clearly. Liu Bei did not show any slightness because Guan and Zhang were one of his own, but instead took more care of them.
In fact, from practical considerations, Zhang Fei commanded the scouts, and the scouts were all cavalry. Most of the cavalry were already equipped with armor. Ten pieces of Yulin armor were given to Zhang Fei. It is estimated that Zhang Fei had no place to distribute the armor.
After Yu Lin's armor was divided, Liu Bei gave all the remaining armor of varying quality to Guan Yu.
There are tens of thousands of people in the army, and most of the soldiers are under the control of Guan Yu. As the main force, they should be equipped first.
Zhang Fei got the Yulin Armor and couldn't wait to take off the scale armor on his body and put on the Yulin Armor.
"Second brother, do you think my wings are straight? Are they straight?" Zhang Fei twisted his neck hard to look behind him, pulled the back feathers behind his armor with his hand, and asked Guan Yu to help him look at the wings.
Li Mengxi immediately laughed, Zhang Fei was as tall as a child.
Guan Yu was busy and ignored Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was unforgiving and called Liu Bei for help.
