Coincidentally, since the army of the Duchy of Geddes and the Allied Forces of Saxony started fighting, the Geddes army no longer buys French-style plate armor and helmets from the hydraulic forging center in Lyle County, Marin.

So, Marin ordered - to continue to work, the production of breastplates and helmets. However, the style was changed to the Maximilian armor style. This kind of raised breastplate has excellent properties for resisting the damage of musket bullets.

You must know that the shock wave will directly damage the human body after being hit by a lead bullet weighing dozens of grams. Moreover, under the action of strong impact, the plate armor may dent.

However, old-fashioned plate armor was worn close to the body. Once the depression is generated, it will directly impact the human body. If there are depressions in the soft parts of the human body, the problem is not very serious. If there is a depression in the bone part, it is finished. The fracture is light, and the bone is broken by the impact force, which is also very common.

Therefore, muskets pose such a great threat to knights in plate armor. However, if the protruding design is adopted, bullets hitting those protrusions will not only easily cause refraction and bounce, but even if the protrusions are dented by lead bullets, they will only be smashed from the protrusions and not protrude, and it is difficult to directly impact the human body. Even if it is because of the powerful kinetic energy, it will still cause people to suffer a certain amount of damage, but it is not a tragic situation of losing combat effectiveness like breaking bones at every turn.

Therefore, the Maximilian armor is a very suitable armor to withstand spherical lead bullets. Of course, it can only be said that this kind of armor is more suitable for resisting lead bullets than the old-fashioned armor, not that it can definitely be blocked. If you are lucky, if you hit an unimportant bump, you may be fine. If you are unlucky, you will get hurt. It's just that it won't be injured like the old-fashioned body plate armor.

With the breastplate of Maximilian's armor and the iron helmet with movable face mask, Marin could have his soldiers, according to the set idea, use linen-wrapped wooden sticks on their heads to train each other.

For the training stick, Marin decided to use one that was about as long as a spear. In this way, the soldiers used it, and it was no different from using a spear.

In fact, the use of spears is nothing more than the old-fashioned methods of stabbing, plucking, and flirting. However, don't underestimate these three basic tricks. If you use it proficiently, on the battlefield, you can stab your opponent to death first, so that you can survive.

Moreover, later studies have shown that stabbing is much more damaging than slashing. Generally speaking, if you are cut by a knife, as long as you are not cut to the vital parts such as the aorta and neck, even if you go to the hospital, you will probably survive.

However, if you are stabbed, especially if you are stabbed in the heart and other parts, basically immortals are hard to save. Therefore, the gangsters of later generations will slash people with knives, but the victims are injured more and die less. The killers, on the other hand, often use daggers to stab their targets, paying attention to speed and accuracy, directly stabbing the dagger into the target's heart.

Moreover, this is also reflected in the later bayonet. During World War II, dagger-type bayonet knives were more popular, which could stab and chop. But after World War II, the five-six-and-a-half-and-a-half-and-a-half-and-a-half-and-a-half-and-a-half-and-a-half-year rifle directly abandoned the blade of the bayonet and changed it to a three-edged army thorn. Because, the lethality of the three-edged army stab is particularly large. Later, the actual combat rifles used foldable thorns. Only the rifles of the honor guards use the dagger-type bayonet. Because, the dagger-shaped bayonet looks good...

...

Therefore, Marin is very strict about how the soldiers train their spears to pierce the enemy's body first, and that they need to pierce the vital parts.

During training, after the black cloth covering the breastplate was stabbed by the enemy's "gun head" smeared with lime powder, not only the soldier had to quit the group fight, but the referee would also give the opponent a success based on the stabbed part." kill the enemy" soldiers. The closer to the heart, the higher the score.

Moreover, in combat, soldiers can also make their own judgments. For example, an enemy stabbed far from the heart is allowed to continue fighting for a short period of time. If you stab the heart, you must quit the battle immediately, otherwise, you will be punished.

After the scoring system and certain reward and punishment measures, Marin believed that those spearmen would be quicker and more accurate when using spears to stab the enemy.

For those outstanding soldiers who often and quickly stab the "spearhead" in the opponent's heart, Marin also allows certain commendations and awards. The rewards may not be many, but the recognition will largely satisfy the vanity of the soldiers. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say that, it is better to say that the sense of honor. But in fact, the difference between the two is not very big. Marin remembers that he was extremely proud when he was commended by the school in his previous life, and when he came to the stage with a certificate of merit stupidly and was watched as a monkey...

...

For Saqqara, who invented the "group fight training method", Marin did not treat him badly. Not only did he increase his annual salary, but he also removed the word "agent" from his "acting commander of the English Legion", which made Saqqara successfully become a a senior general.

In addition, Marin has also passed back to Newcastle the improved training method for gang fights. Moreover, Marin sent Saqqara 2,000 sets of Maximilian breastplates and iron helmets with movable masks as props for the new gang fight training method.

After all, the new group fight training method, if there is no protective gear, the training will cause a lot of casualties.

Of course, all the formal Maximilian-style breastplates and helmets were used, and the production capacity of the forging center could not keep up. How to do it?

When Marin inspected the training of the wolf-tooth commando and the colonial army, he saw that the auxiliary troops of the colonial army were wearing wooden pieces that looked like "mahjong mats"...

This kind of wood chip armor, if the wood chips are not wrapped with iron sheets, the cost is very low. And, the point is, this thing is quick to make...

After all, there were more carpenters than blacksmiths in any era. Marin easily found enough carpenters to process wood chips in bulk and drill holes for each mahjong-sized chip.

After that, it was time to find a skilled person to weave the "mahjong wood chips" into Jiajia. This is a little more troublesome, but Marin had people make a batch of armors for the auxiliary units of the colonial army before, and he was considered a skilled craftsman.

After testing, the soldiers who put on a layer of "mahjong mat" wood chips and armor still hurt a lot after being stabbed by a wooden stick. So, Marin simply asked the soldiers to put on double-layer "mahjong mats". Sure enough, the effect is much better.

As for the helmet, Marin also simplified it. He asked a group of carpenters to make a group of wooden helmets according to the style of later motorcycle helmets. Then, in the area in front of the eyes, a big hole was cut. Then, over the big hole, weave barbed wire for protection...

In this way, the training soldiers wearing double-layer "mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wooden "motorcycle helmets" have become a "beautiful" landscape in the barracks.

What surprised Marin most was that the soldiers actually liked the "mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wooden "motorcycle helmet" and refused to take them down...

why? The total weight of the "mahjong mat" wood chip armor and the wooden "motorcycle helmet" is much lighter than that of the Maximilian chest plate armor and the iron helmet with a movable mask, and it is comfortable to wear.

Moreover, most soldiers were unable to equip breastplates and iron helmets. Moreover, their physical fitness, wearing such a heavy armor, would not last long.

However, the "mahjong mat" wood chip armor is different from the wooden "motorcycle helmet". Even if two layers of "mahjong mats" are worn and a wooden motorcycle helmet is worn, the average soldier can bear it.

Moreover, on the battlefield, if you don't wear armor, if you are touched by enemy weapons, you will definitely be killed or injured.

Instead, it is better to wear a double-layer "mahjong mat" wood chip armor, and bring a wooden "motorcycle helmet" to fight the enemy.

Moreover, the protective power of the double-layer "mahjong mat" wood chip armor and wooden "motorcycle helmet" is really good. At least, when assassinating with cold weapons with the enemy, the survival rate must be very high. Because, everyone has done experiments before, and the domestic pigs wearing double-layer "mahjong mats" wood chips and armor, when the soldiers are stabbed with spears and shot with bows and arrows, the survival rate is close to half... Especially in the face of Bow and arrow shooting, the protection is very good... Of course, in the face of muskets and wooden armor, there is no protection...

Still, the soldiers fell in love with the "mahjong mat" and the wooden "motorcycle helmet." Later, this became the standard equipment of ordinary infantry... Moreover, the cost of this kind of equipment is also very low, and it is convenient for mass production...

Of course, Marin later ordered that all the "mahjong mats" be nailed with a thin layer of iron on the outside of the wood chips. In this way, although the weight is increased, the protection is higher...
