Chapter 745 Young General vs. Rich Lady 48
Because there are many parts of the armor that need to be hand-sewn, and each armor maker has his own preferences, the fifty sets of armor are all slightly different.
The outfit Zhao Shan chose was quite standard. The head and chest were key protected areas, and the color was dull and not very eye-catching.
Zhao Hai liked the suit that Huo Xiao was wearing, so he chose a similar one, but one without such delicate patterns. After all, he was in a hurry when making it later, so it couldn’t be as delicate as the sample clothes, but the protective effect was the same.
Xu Sheng usually walks in the dark, gathering intelligence, tracking investigations, and delivering messages. In order to facilitate his actions, he chose a lighter set of armor that is also detachable. He wears more layers when going to the battlefield, and wears less when he needs to use light skills.
Peng Haichang was a little embarrassed to choose, but Zhao Shan forced one on him.
Zhuo Zhantu likes every set. It seems that he can't wait to take apart the armors and study them carefully, and he exclaims from time to time.
"This is amazing! What kind of thread is this? I couldn't even cut it with a dagger, but it's so soft, unlike any metal I've ever seen."
"This structure is so delicate. It doesn't hinder the movement at all. I have to draw it. This splicing method is also very special..."
The eight generals all put on armor and held swords or long tasseled spears. Everyone's face was filled with joy. With these things, they would be more confident in defending the city.
Yan Changfeng stopped playing with the tablet. He was touching a set of armor and couldn't let it go.
"This color is so pretty! So bright and bright! It will look so cool with my fluorescent sneakers! I will be the coolest guy in Pingyang City!"
Ji Yunhuan was so upset after hearing this. It was her fault. She shouldn't have downloaded so many entertainment videos for Yan Changfeng.
Yan Changfeng didn't care whether Huo Xiaotong agreed or not. He picked up the head armor and put it on his head. Anyway, as long as he offered sacrifices, the gods would definitely agree.
He tied a crimson belt, which was just the right size, but a little heavy on his head. Yan Changfeng took a deep breath. For the sake of looking handsome, he could endure it!
Yan Changfeng was clumsy in putting on the armor and couldn't fasten it properly. In the end, Peng Haichang, who was loyal and kind-hearted, helped him.
Yan Changfeng waved the sword in his hand. The handsome armor and the gorgeous sword must have been very majestic.
"I want this set of armor. It is tailor-made for me."
Huo Xiao mocked, "You are weak and frail. You can't wear heavy armor for long. Peng Haichang, take it off quickly. Don't waste good things."
Yan Changfeng got anxious when he heard this, and ran to the door wearing his armor, "This is mine! No one is allowed to take it!"
After running a few steps, the load on his body became too heavy, and Yan Changfeng stumbled and fell on the threshold.
The armor was still taken off, and all the soldiers were laughing, with a happy atmosphere in the air.
Yan Changfeng covered his bruised forehead with his hands, his body covered in bruises, and said stubbornly, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Things change over time, don't look down on young people because they are poor! Sooner or later, I will make you look at me with new eyes!"
Ji Yunhuan thought this guy was a funny guy, but it was obvious that not everyone could wear the improved armor. She reminded him, "Don't wear it often. Just run it in for a while and wear it when you need it."
"Don't be discouraged, Prince Yan. I have bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets here. I'll only charge you one gold ingot for each set. This is light and you can definitely wear it."
Thirty thousand bulletproof vests and helmets were delivered.
Yan Changfeng tried it and although it could only protect key parts, it was indeed very light.
"I want thirty sets. The people who are given to Huo Xiao are not under my control. Huo Xiao, you have to arrange for them. Don't be partial. There are still some guards left in the mansion. I will arrange for them all."
Zhao Shan gave thirty sets to Prince Yan, and the rest was enough.
"I was just worried that there wouldn't be enough armor, and that the recruits wouldn't be able to wear the armor. But the gods have thought it through. With these bulletproof vests and helmets, everyone will be protected, and our casualties will definitely be greatly reduced."
The last batch delivered was 5,000 ordinary crossbows and automatic crossbows, and 100,000 crossbow arrows.
Zhuo Zhantu didn't even need to read the instructions. Relying on his intuition, he assembled the crossbow in no time.
The crossbows are equipped with rubber-tipped crossbow arrows, and come with a bullseye pattern, with circles within circles, and a red bullseye in the center.
He adjusted the crossbow to its maximum power, raised his hand and shot it out. Even the crossbow arrow with a rubber tip pierced through the paper and hit the straw target.
"What a great crossbow! With these thousands of crossbows, the Shenji Camp can be rebuilt. Our cavalry is no match for the Northern Rong. The Northern Rong win by force, lacking agility and coordination. The Huo family army has multiple forces coordinating with each other, so the chances of winning are much greater."
Xu Sheng picked up a repeating crossbow and loaded it with iron arrows.
Swish, swish, swish! Three crossbow arrows were fired at the same time and pierced into the stone wall.
Xu Sheng didn't expect it to be so powerful. If it was shot at a person, it would definitely penetrate a hole.
"Major General, can you give me half of these rapid-fire crossbows? The people under my command are very accurate and will definitely be able to play the greatest role."
"If I have the chance to sneak into the enemy camp, with such a powerful weapon, I will definitely be able to kill him back and forth and kill a few Beirong generals!"
Assassination is also Xu Sheng's specialty. In a face-to-face confrontation, he may not be able to beat someone as skilled in martial arts as Zhao Hai, but if he wants to take someone's life, Zhao Hai is no match for him.
Huo Xiao nodded, "Okay, you take some, and give the rest to Zhuo Zhantu to form the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion is almost extinct, so draw some people from each team."
Zhao Hai was a bit troubled. "Right now, there is a shortage of people everywhere. All the newly recruited civilians, regardless of their talent or whether they have martial arts training, have been divided up. Where can there be extra people? Everyone is staring at the recruitment office, afraid that they will not be able to get people."
With 80,000 people, recruiting 10,000 young and middle-aged men is already the limit. In a family, there are always one or two elderly people and two or three children, so the number of people who can join the army is limited.
In addition, labor had to be conscripted to reinforce the city walls, dig reservoirs, etc., so there was really no one available.
Huo Xiao was silent for a moment, then gave the order: "Relax the conditions. Men over 14 and women over 16, with intact hands and feet, are fine. Most of the women we called in before went to help in the kitchen and the wounded soldiers' camp. Occasionally, a few of them mustered up the courage to follow the training, but you guys didn't pay much attention to them."
"When there is really no one to use, who cares about men and women! These crossbows are very light and do not require much strength. The most important thing is accuracy! Try to find some with high talent and good accuracy and recruit them into the Shenji Camp."
