Chapter 50: Equipment Demonstrates Power
“Snap!”
Wei Guang was furious and chopped him down with his knife.
No, the Tang army just shook.
The robe was torn, but the man seemed to be fine.
Suddenly, Wei Guang's face turned red, and he and his gang stared at Tang Jun blankly, wondering why there was no blood.
It seemed as if only the clothes had been cut, but the flesh had not been cut.
You know, Wei Guang is a seventh-grade master.
With that one cut, even a wooden stool would be cut in half.
"I told you to use 50% of your strength, but you only used 30%. Come on, hit the key point again." Tang Jun shouted.
"kill!"
Wei Guang shouted, took a run-up, and chopped down.
Bu!
Tang Jun's body was shaken and he retreated seven or eight steps before he stabilized himself, but he didn't see any blood.
That was because Wei Guang's skills were superior to Tang Jun's, and he was forced back by the inertia of the force.
"The Tang army should be practicing martial arts like iron shirt, right?" Li Liao said.
"No!" Tang Wen shook his head.
“That’s the external martial arts such as the Golden Bell Cover.” Wei Guang asked unconvinced.
"Not really." Tang Wen continued to shake his head.
"How is that possible? Wei Guang is a mid-level seventh-grade cultivator.
Although only 50% of the strength was used in this blow, it weighed enough 400 to 500 kilograms. Even a tiger would be injured by it.
Could it be that Tang Jun is at the sixth level?
That's not right, even if you are a sixth-level realm, you will get hurt if you stand like this and let someone hack you." Li Liao shook his head and said.
"Excuse me, I am far inferior to Brother Wei." Tang Jun clasped his fists.
"What is the reason?" Li Liao and his gang all looked at Tang Wen.
"It is this jacket, which Westerners call a bulletproof vest, and it is made of a special fiber.
It is breathable and light to wear and will not add any burden to your body.
But ordinary swords can't cut through it." Tang Wen said, "Tang Jun, go get a new one."
Tang Jun ran and got a new bulletproof vest.
Li Liao touched it and couldn't believe it. "How can such a thin piece of clothing not be cut by a knife? Amazing, really amazing."
The next moment, Li Liao put it on and asked Wei Fei to chop it with a little strength, and it was okay.
"One more blow, use three points of strength."
"For the third strike, use 50% of your strength."
"Use six points...seven points..."
…
"Amazing, so amazing. With it, we will die less often." After the experiment, Li Liao was amazed.
Below, Wei Guang, Chen Fei and their group all started trying it out, and they were all amazed.
"The knives you use are too bad." Tang Jun smiled, took Wei Guang's knife, raised his hand and chopped it down with the Xiuchun knife.
With a crack, a big gap was cut on Wei Guang's knife.
He chopped down several times in succession and cut Wei Guang's knife off.
"Sir, can we hurt people if we use a musket?" Li Liao asked.
"It won't hurt." Tang Wen said confidently. However, the qi on Li Liao's head was shaking again, and he definitely didn't believe it.
"Bring me a pistol." Tang Wen said. The Tang army was once again made a living target.
Tang Wen aimed a shot at his chest. With a loud bang, sparks flew and Li Liao and others were startled.
On the other hand, the Tang army was only pushed back several steps by the power of gunpowder, but the soldiers were safe and sound.
Tang Wen glanced at Li Liao and his gang again and found that the crowds above their heads were like leaves in the wind, all of them seemed to be stunned.
Next, Li Liao and his team tried other extreme training projects such as crossing barbed wire, fire-breathing ring, and rock climbing.
After it was over, Tang Wen looked at the popularity above his head again and found that Li Liao's popularity was no longer wavering.
Instead, it is slightly tilted towards me, but the angle of inclination is not large, estimated to be around 85 degrees.
As for Wei Guang, Chen Fei and his gang, they had already been full of admiration for him, and their popularity was tilted towards him by 70 degrees.
It seems that there is a way to take them down.
"It's a pity that your bulletproof vest can only protect the vital parts of the middle part of the body, but it cannot protect important parts like the head.
The Black Cavalry were covered in black armor, which was heavy but protected even their heads.
In terms of defense, it is more comprehensive than your bulletproof vest.
Otherwise, if our enemy cuts at your head, you will definitely die." Li Liao said with a little regret.
"Haha, if you can think of it, Westerners can help you do it." Tang Wen smiled and said to Li Quan, "Move out the batch of bulletproof helmets we recently brought back."
Li Quan nodded and ran back to the warehouse to get a few helmets.
This is a helmet specially used by the special forces of the Great East Republic. Although it cannot be compared with the latest IH PS bulletproof helmet in service with the US military , it has most of its defensive capabilities.
The US military's IHPS helmet can withstand AK47 bullets and weighs only 2 kilograms, while the helmets that Tang Wen brought back can protect against pistol bullets within a distance of five meters.
There's a fiberglass panel in the front that encloses the entire head.
The ultra-thin glass panel can be pulled up and opened, which is very convenient and weighs only about two kilograms.
Compared with the helmets worn by the Black Cavalry, which weighed seven or eight pounds and were made of iron scales, at least they could be thrown hard onto Mars.
In order to increase the weight of the law in Li Liao's mind, Tang Wen immediately ordered the Tang army to wear it, raised his musket and shot him in the head.
Although the Tang army was also startled, they were only shaken by the musket fire. When they found that they were not dead yet, they immediately came to their senses.
"If Westerners use these to form an army, they will be invincible." Li Liao touched his beard, sighed, and took the helmet to test it on the spot.
"With these equipments, both the head and body are protected.
The only things we can't take care of are the legs and hands. If we pay attention to that during a fight, we will gain the upper hand.
Brother Li, if you wear them, you can easily defeat opponents who are two levels higher than you." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"That's true, it's a magical thing." Li Liao said with a smile.
"Sir, can you give me a set?" Wei Guang couldn't help but ask.
"If the Lord allows me to join the Royal Guard, I would also like to have one," Chen Fei also said.
"Don't talk nonsense, this set must be very expensive?" Li Liao said sternly.
"It's indeed not cheap. Including the sword, bow, special camouflage uniform, and military boots, a set costs about two thousand taels of silver." Tang Wen said.
Of course Tang Wen tried his best to exaggerate how "big" it was, but in reality this set of equipment only cost about 100,000 yuan.
Only the helmet and bulletproof vest are expensive. If converted into silver, it would only be around four hundred taels.
"Two thousand taels?" Wei Guang's tongue stretched out so long that he could hardly retract it.
"It's not expensive! The armor, sword, horse, etc. of an ordinary Black Cavalry soldier cost more than one thousand taels in total. Their iron armor cannot be compared with this at all." Li Liao shook his head.
"But a set costs more than two thousand taels. Who can afford it?" Chen Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“If you are willing to join my personal guard, each of you seventh or eighth rank warriors will be equipped with a set of equipment first.
As for the ninth and tenth grades, we will come slowly in the future.
I believe that once the dam is built and we make money in the future, I can buy another batch from the West.
By then, all our guards will be equipped." Tang Wen said.
In fact, Tang Wen can now equip not only a company, but even a division of troops.
However, the key point is that there is currently no place to buy this kind of military helmet. The last time Chen Guozhang traveled back through the War Dragon Special Forces, he only brought back a dozen sets.
If you want to purchase in large quantities, you have to find other channels.
Otherwise, you can ask Chen Guozhang to buy thousands of sets.
People will definitely suspect that you have ulterior motives and want to form a black force like the Axe Gang.
Doing so will only bring more trouble to yourself and the result will not be worth it.
"I am in the middle stage of the seventh rank and am eligible to get a set." Wei Guang said.
"I have just entered the early stage of the seventh rank, so I am qualified." Chen Fei hurriedly said, fearing that someone would snatch it away.
"Shut up! How dare you make such excessive demands on the Lord? That set costs more than two thousand taels. How much was your annual salary before? It will take five or six years to get it." Li Liao frowned and scolded.
In fact, this guy was angry that the two were eager to join the Royal Guard without his permission.
"It's not too much. If they are willing to join, I will give each of them a set of equipment now." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Sister...brother-in-law, look..." Wei Guang was really in love and couldn't help asking.
"Don't mention it again! Wei Guang, have you forgotten the military rules?" Li Liao said even more fiercely. The two of them stammered and dared not say a word.
“Brother Li, this place was previously under the charge of another of my men, Qiao Xiao.
However, due to some special reasons, he is not here now.
Therefore, for the next ten days, I will pay Brother Li ten taels of silver per day to let him guide them in their training." Tang Wen said.
