Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

Just as Tian Chou said, this first snow did not last long.

It lasted for more than a day and then slowly stopped.

Moreover, there was no too thick snow on the ground, which would not cause too much hindrance to the advance of the army.

The only thing that needs attention is the supply of food and grass and keeping warm.

In this era, because cotton had not yet become popular, keeping warm was a problem for ordinary people.

What's more, the soldiers are fighting abroad and have to wear cold armor.

Until the Tang Dynasty, iron armor was still the main weapon, so it was said that"the general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the guards' iron clothes are cold and cold."

Under normal circumstances, it is no longer suitable to enter Liaodong at this time.

Because there is no chance that if the snow suddenly falls heavily or there is a cold wave on the way, countless soldiers can freeze to death... The

Liaodong Army under Gongsun Du and the soldiers and horses of Wuhuan's various ministries, due to their long-term survival here, They all have furs to keep them warm.

However, Cao Jun did not have a large number of fur equipment...

This was a big problem for any famous general.

But for Cao Ang, it was nothing.

Because Cao Ang had consumed more than ten million points of negative energy in the system before this.

So the system changed, there was an upgrade.

The upgraded system not only provides blind box rewards that are one level higher than the gold-level blind box, but also has an additional system mall option.

In other words, the negative energy accumulated by Cao Ang can no longer be exchanged for blind boxes from the system.

You can also freely choose to purchase specified products directly from the system mall at clearly marked prices.

In the system mall, you can find everything.

For example, the rewards that Cao Ang won in the blind box were also among them.

Since Cao Ang sent troops from Xudu in March this year, the negative energy he gained has not been used much.

Now he has accumulated more than five million points.

Naturally, it includes the negative energy of Yuan Shang, Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, and Jiangdong Sun Quan.

Although Cao Ang did not personally conquer Jiangdong, Sun Quan and others would automatically blame Cao Ang for many things.

At this moment, Cao Ang held these five million points of negative energy and searched in the system mall.

Finally, he set his sights on a row of armor and equipment.

A picture of armor with rivets on the outside and iron sheets on the inside appeared in front of Cao Ang.

It's cloth armor!

To be more precise, it’s cotton armor!

The mainstream armor of later Ming and Qing Dynasties!

Compared with the iron armor of this era, cotton armor has great advantages!

First of all, the thermal insulation performance of cotton armor is very good. A piece of cotton armor is made of seven pounds of cotton that has been beaten and spun many times. Inside the cotton armor, an iron piece slightly smaller than a palm is weighed with rivets.

The protective performance is also higher than ordinary iron armor.

Moreover, the total weight of cotton armor is often less than half that of iron armor.

The heavy iron armor of this era often weighed tens of kilograms.

Even the armor of some heavy infantry and heavy cavalry weighs between sixty and eighty pounds!

But the cotton armor, including the cotton outer scale and the iron lining, weighs only about thirty kilograms in total.

It is warm, lightweight, and does not have as high requirements on body size as iron armor.

And the defense power is higher than that of iron armor at a certain level.

After all, in later generations, the reason why iron armor was eliminated by bamboo slips was because of its insufficient protection against firearms.

But cotton armor can protect against firearm damage to a great extent!

Coincidentally, cotton armor originated in the Yuan Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Most of the time, it revolves around the battle in Liaodong...

At this time, Cao Ang wanted to march into Liaodong. The main constraint was the cold climate, which made it inconvenient and cold for soldiers to fight in iron armor.

But if the soldiers of Cao's army can be equipped with cotton armor, then this will be a killer weapon across the ages!

The price of cotton armor in the system mall is one hundred points per set. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Ang's five million points of negative energy can be exchanged for fifty thousand sets.

It is not enough to equip all Cao's troops.

But having 50,000 sets is enough for Cao Ang's next plan.

Because Cao Ang can only really use about 50,000 people (aiac).

The other officers and soldiers of various ministries were more of a feint attack force.

With a thought in his mind, Cao Ang cleared out all the five million energy points he had accumulated in the past six months.

They were replaced with 50,000 pieces of cotton armor that were warm, cold-proof and highly defensive.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang materialized these cotton armors in a place far away from the military camp, and then arranged for Jinyi guards to escort 50,000 sets of cotton armors to the military camp.

"After the order was passed, the 50,000 elite cavalry in the army, regardless of light or heavy cavalry, temporarily removed their original armor.

Put on this cotton armor!"

Cao Ang gave an order and allocated all 50,000 cotton armors to 50,000 cavalry.

"What kind of armor is this?

It looks a little different, but it's much warmer than iron armor."

"good! Wearing iron armor in this weather is already a bit freezing, but after putting on this cotton armor, I no longer feel the cold in an instant!"

"There seems to be a thick layer of cloth on the outside of this armor, no wonder it's so warm[]

The inside is lined with iron sheets, and the protective power feels stronger than iron armor!

If you wear this armor, you can fight even in the middle of winter!"

Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun and other generals looked at the cotton armor distributed by Cao Ang with novel expressions on their faces.

Some even put it on right away and were immediately surprised!

Cao Ang said with a smile:" This armor is called cotton armor, also called cloth-faced armor.

I secretly ordered Xudu Ordnance Factory to prepare it specially for the Battle of Liaodong. It is most suitable for fighting in cold weather.

It had been kept secret until now to prevent Liaodong Gongsundu from finding out.

For example, after a snowfall today, Gongsun Du's probing horse will not spread too far.

You may even think that our army will not march in such weather.

As everyone knows, after equipped with this cotton armor, even if it is the middle of winter and heavy snow falls, it will hardly affect marching operations!"

After hearing what Cao Ang said, all the soldiers couldn't help but praise and admire again:"The general is really far-sighted and has fantastic ideas.

I never thought that armor in the world could be made like this!"

Although they were surprised by the wonders of the cotton armor, they were accustomed to the fact that General Cao Ang often had unexpected methods. They just felt that this was the same as the previous Xuanjia, Jinyiwei, Cao Lang's crossbow, etc., and it was Cao Ang who secretly It was trained and manufactured.

Even Yan Rou and Tian Chou, after seeing this cotton armor, immediately understood why Cao Ang was determined to march into Liaodong in August!

These two people even said with admiration on their faces:"The general has prepared such armor, which is enough to run rampant in Liaodong!"

Cao Ang smiled and accepted the compliments from everyone, and then ordered:"I will lead fifty thousand elite cavalry, all wearing cotton armor, one person and two horses to attack Wuhuan Bailang Mountain from a small road!

The black armor replaced by the hussars and others was replaced by the elite infantry in the army, and the vests were also placed on top of the remaining war horses and horses in the army.

The flags of each cavalry unit also remained among the main force of the army, marching slowly to attract the enemy's attention.

In this way, the enemy can detect their horses and mistakenly think that all our elite cavalry are among the main force of the army.

Make Gongsun Du and Wuhuan's tribes take it lightly!

Attack Bailang Mountain for me and get the upper hand!".
