Rebirth of the tryant's pet:Prince regent is too fierce

Ch.441 Armor (2)

It was his fault for pushing him so hard in the first place, so he couldn't blame her for making that choice.

"As for treason—"

Gong Cheng raised his head sharply to look at her. In his opinion, this was the one that bothered him the most, and the one he was most suspicious about.

"I did not betray my country. Jin Yun is my friend, and I just wanted to help him out. I do not believe that counts as treason."

Gong Cheng huffed coldly. He clearly didn't believe it. Leaning back on his throne, he said coldly.

"It's not something that can be dispelled just because you say so. You now have three charges hanging over your head, all of which can sentence you to death! So tell me…how do you wish to buy your fate?"

Naturally, Gong Yimo knew that Gong Cheng would not just let her go like this. If she didn't dispel the fears in his heart, then no matter how many favors she offered him, he still wouldn't let her go.

So, she pulled out a box from her bosom and handed it over to Chang Xi.

Gong Cheng looked somewhat strangely at Gong Yimo. He didn't think that anything in this little box would be enough for him to let Gong Yimo off.

After opening it, he found that there was a stack of papers inside, and an exquisite piece of armor was illustrated on top of it that caused him to be unable to look away for a moment.

He was no ordinary man, so naturally, he did not think this was any ordinary drawing. There were also words written down in ink by Gong Yimo. He gazed at it and was surprised to find that every single word was just like a treasure!

Dayu claimed to be the head of the four kingdoms, but in terms of fighting power, they were no match for Louye. That perhaps may be the reason why Gong Cheng had always wanted Gong Yimo's firearms.

The men of Louye were valiant and highly skilled in horsemanship, and especially in their skills in the sword, causing Dayu to be in a passive position whenever they fought with Louye. Almost each and every time, they won purely by numbers and wealth, so it could be imagined how aggravating it must be.

Their light cavalry was not as agile as the enemy and they had poor defensive capabilities. Even their horse taming and crossbow skills were not as good as Louye's level.

And the heavy cavalry, even though their defenses were improved, they also lack the mobility a cavalry should have due to their heavy iron armor that usually weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms.

Not only the cavalry, even their infantry was extremely passive. The men of Dayu were thin and weak, not as tall and strong as the men of Louye, so they could only strengthen their defenses.

And a piece of armor, plus a weapon, weighed no less than twenty kilograms. They bore heavy weights and had a large consumption, so they were not suitable for long wars, and especially not for winter combat, because iron armor was cold, and fighting in winter was just like wearing armor made of ice.

That's why this has always been a headache for the Emperor.

And, this drawing given by Gong Yimo was a drawing that could improve their armor! And in one fell swoop, it fixed all their problems without leaving any weak points!

Cloth armor.

The armor was made of compressed silk wool that had been repeatedly pounded to increase its density, and iron rivets were attached to increase the defensive power.

Not only that, but you can even splash water on it during the winter to freeze it, further strengthening its defensive capabilities, making it tear-resistant, lightweight, and energy-saving.

Of course, this was only the outer layer.

Gong Cheng saw another picture below. A chain armor made of countless thin chains hooked together!

This chainmail was also very cleverly designed. It was made of iron wire or rings interlocked into the shape of a net. Not only did it greatly save on material costs, but made it much lighter. As for its defensive capabilities, don't even mention an ordinary bow and arrow, even a crossbow would find this hard to penetrate!

Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Why hasn't anyone thought of that already?!

If this was fully implemented, then Dayu's combat power would increase significantly! They would leap by bounds ahead of all others! This invention was, in Gong Cheng's opinion, no lesser than paper-making and printing!
