Chapter 176 Vine Armor

Shen Bing has nothing to worry about with the artist.

This is because Shen Bing paid more wages: fifteen dollars, three dollars more than ordinary labor.

This is not a small weapon of Shen Bing. Shen Bing is not stingy. If he can use paper as money... can money still be a cause for trouble?

The point is that if Shen Bing paid a hundred wages, the entire labor market would be disrupted, and all those who knew how to make baskets would flood in.

Therefore, Shen Bing's grasp is just right, which is three dollars more than ordinary labor.

Three money is not much, but for the people, it can feed one and a half people, and this is still three more money per day, which is equivalent to 90 more money per month.

You should know that a set of winter clothes only costs 110 yuan, so this is by no means a small sum.

On the other hand, these craftsmen are almost working under the "death threats" of Qin Jun.

Yu Wei, who flooded Daliang City by the Qin Army, is still there, and at this time Qin Jun has basically completed the household registration of the people of Daliang...Once the household registration is completed, it means that the Qin State’s "Liansi" system can be used.

Once someone breaks the law, the neighbours who are grouped together will also be punished.

So these artists who make baskets dare to cut corners?

Long idle life is almost the same!

Wages are profit, and even the system is prestige.

Under the coercion and temptation, the artists naturally made their best efforts to make armor.

Some people even worry that the progress of the armor is not fast enough, and they are working overtime at night.

So the armor was produced in sets.

Shen Bing was the first to equip his guards with this armor.

These personal guards came from Wei Wei from the Mengshan camp. According to Shen Bing's meaning, they selected strong and clever cavalry from the original Wei army.

Cavalry will certainly ride horses, there is no doubt that.

The reason why he no longer aimed at cavalry and shooting was because Shen Bing knew that personal guards were different from ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers are used in cavalry and water warfare, so riding and shooting is the first choice.

The main responsibility of the guards is to protect the main general.

If the main general needs to defend, most of it is at a critical moment when the enemy has rushed to the handsome camp. Of course, what is needed at this time is not riding but close combat.

Close combat is actually two requirements: strength and quick response.

Actual combat, especially fighting on the battlefield, doesn't really need any fancy, what you want is to be faster and more powerful than the opponent.

That's why it emphasized being strong and clever:

Being strong has power.

Another meaning of cleverness is to react quickly.

In this era, the difference between fast and slow response is still quite big.

Shen Bing believes that its roots are on the one hand innate and on the other hand education.

If you are inherently slow, there is no way, such a person is often a shield in Shiwu.

Acquired education or training has a subtle influence on a person's response speed. For example, in modern society, one has been educated since childhood. These educations seem to be unnecessary in life.

But what he exercises is a person's analytical ability, logical thinking ability, learning ability and even reaction ability.

So doing one thing from the same starting point, and letting educated and uneducated people do it usually results in different results.

Although not all the guards from Shen Bing were educated noble children, they were at least innately quick to respond.

These cane armors are really majestic and majestic when they are worn on the guards.

However, the behavior of the guard wearing this vine armor seemed a bit awkward.

Shen Bing understood after thinking about it. They thought that the navy's funds were insufficient without the bronze armor and they could only equip the vine armor, so they felt a little shabby.

Shen Bing didn't say much, he himself put on a vine armor, accompanied by a bronze sword and bow and arrows, and then drove them to Yang Duanhe's camp.

People along the way cast weird glances at Shen Bing and others. They had never seen such an armor before, so they felt very strange.

This is also the reason why Shen Bing took them out to stroll around, especially to make an appearance at Yang Duan and Na Liang, otherwise if Shen Bing and his party were treated as enemies...then it would be lively.

Sure enough, when Shen Bing and his party appeared in Xidaying, the Qin Army was really nervous for a while, and a group of soldiers immediately rushed up and opened their bows and arrows.

If it weren't for Shen Bing to show his identity in time, I'm afraid he would have to surrender his weapons before entering the camp.

After entering the barracks, he provoked a crowd of Qin soldiers onlookers, and some even laughed:

"I said who it is, but it turned out to be Wei's surrender."

"This is not worthy of a meritocracy, so let Akato make up the number!"

Then a group of soldiers made fun of them.

Shen Bing ignored it and continued to walk towards Yang Duanhe's handsome account with his guards.

At this time, Yang Duanhe came back from inspection and just hit this weird group of soldiers, and when he stepped forward, he recognized that it was Shen Bing.

Yang Duanhe looked at Shen Bing up and down, then looked at the personal guards led by Shen Bing, and said incredibly:

"Lieutenant, do you really use Akato to make armor?"

"And also..."

Shen Bing knew what Yang Duanhe wanted to say, not only was it made, but it was also put on.

Not only put it on, but also let the subordinates put it on!!

Yang Duanhe thought that Shen Bing was all joking before.

Shen Bing came to sell again:

"Back to the general, the subordinates are also helpless!"

"It's better to have armour than no armour."

Yang Duanhe looked helpless:

"That, but... this..."

"Hey, is this armor useful?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Useful or useless, you will know at a try!"

When he said that, he opened his bow and shot an arrow "swish" and shot towards the rattan shield in the hands of a guard behind him...

Shen Bing hasn't learned this for a few days, his posture is still somewhat non-standard, but of course he won't shoot crookedly when his target is close at hand... But in fact, Shen Bing doesn't seem to be aiming at this one.

There is a black line on Shen Bing's face, this level is a bit too stinky.

But fortunately, I don’t say that others don’t know...

The point is that the arrow shot on the vine shield only paused and then fell to the ground.

So everyone was stunned, the navy guards, the soldiers of the Qin army, and of course Yang Duanhe...

Yang Duanhe also stepped forward to look, and found that the area where the arrow hit was just a small scratch, so his expression became serious:

"I don't want this...really can stop the arrow."

"What about swords and spears?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Why don't the general give it a try?"

Yang Duanhe didn't say anything, but raised his head towards Li Yan beside him.

Shen Bing let Ren play.

Of course, this was not true, it was simply Li Yan swung the bronze sword fiercely while holding up a shield to block.

I saw Li Yan cut down with one sword after another, but the vine shield blocked it again and again.

Even because of the tenacity of the vine shield, the sword was slashed vigorously and was bounced back several times, almost hurting Li Yan himself...

Yang Duanhe watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but secretly startled. He glanced at Shen Bing secretly, and said secretly:

"If this vine shield can have such protection, I am afraid that the vine armor will not be much worse."

"It's okay? It's light and well protected, then I'll wait for this bronze armor..."

How did Yang Duanhe know that later generations also produced paper armor with similar characteristics to this rattan armor, but it took fifty sets of armor to change one.
