In ancient times, soldiers who fought in wars wore iron armor, so could their bodies stand it?

The Ming Dynasty was a period of alternating status between heavy armor and light armor. Heavy armor was clumsy to wear, inconvenient for actual combat, and was gradually eliminated. Light armor - cotton armor came into being.

The cotton armor material is soft and lightweight, and there are a large number of copper and iron armor bubbles on its surface, so it is lightweight, dexterous, and can resist the fire of primary firearms when wet. Chain mail was already widely used in the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were also equipped with chain mail. The chain mail of the Ming Dynasty returned to the traditional Chinese armor style in terms of shape, and the ring and ring no longer extended infinitely into a whole garment, but flatly constituted a square part, attached to a piece of armor lining, forming a unit of armor, combined into a complete set of armor, and its parts include arm, breastplate, abdominal armor, back armor, leg skirt, etc.

The chain mail of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the previous generation, but because the production process was more advanced than the previous generation, it was also made of steel, and the weight was lighter than the previous generation.

The role and power of firearms in the battle in the Ming Dynasty are getting bigger and bigger, and the armor is relatively perfect for the body parts, but the face that has been despised before is often easily injured under the action of firearms. In addition, there are armpit armor that protects the armpits, and the animal-like throat guards that protect the throat.

The cloth armor of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and the production method was divided into two types, one was to use the cloth as the surface, decorated with iron armor in the middle, and nail nails on the surface; The other is called the cotton armor, and the twenty volume of the "Yongbu Sketches" records: "The cotton armor is seven catties of cotton, sewn with cloth like a jacket, the arms are five inches over the shoulders, the lower length covers the knees, and the thick lines are straight line by row." Sew tightly into the water, soak it up, lay the ground, and kick it firmly with your feet to not swell and swell.

Dried and harvested, the rain is not heavy, the mildew is endless, and the bird can not be seriously injured. "Although the cotton armor is made of cotton cloth, it is treated with a special process, and its impact resistance is still quite strong, and the bird can't break through.

Lighter than cloth armor is armor. The armor appeared in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also divided into two types: one is made of nail pieces, shaped like a short cardigan, with a leg skirt but no shawl; The other is purely cloth for the inside, and the nail piece is not applied in the middle.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were already face armors, two of which were called Jin Maung Face and Dragon Scale Face, the former was cast into a mask made of copper, the mask was painted and lined with cotton; The latter is covered with cowhide and copper scales. Both of these visors were used by mid- and lower-ranking officers.

The armor of the Ming Dynasty was mostly made of steel, and the weight was not light. "Guest News" said: "The sergeants on all sides are wearing chain mail, battle skirts, arms covering and other equipment, which weigh 45 catties, iron helmets and iron skulls weigh 7 catties, and don items, heart guards, and iron wedges weigh 5 catties.

According to the "Ming Huidian", the green cloth iron armor, each pair of iron is forty catties and eight taels.

Therefore, ancient soldiers must have a good body and physical strength to wear such heavy armor, wield dozens of catties of weapons, and fight hard. It's amazing, and it's really hard. How difficult it is to win a battle, defend the country, and come back alive.

Of course I can stand it. These iron armors are all life-saving existences, and these iron armors are all software, not very heavy.

1. Everyday clothes.

In general, the army of people is at war, Armor will be worn outside, in order to protect their personal safety, but in this bench must wear clothes, but most people wear daily clothes, do not wear special clothing, because this armor is very heavy, if you wear special clothes will be even heavier, this will affect it. If you move so inconveniently, you will likely be defeated by the enemy afterwards.

2. Relatively thin clothing.

Generally, the armor is worn with relatively thin clothing, and if it is worn too thickly, then it will not be particularly convenient to move. Relatively thin clothes are just like our current autumn clothes and trousers. In this way, it is easy to act and has no effect.

Of course, this means that if it is winter in summer, it must be wearing cotton clothes and pants.

III. **A.

Then at that time, if the conditions of the troops were particularly good, they would wear ** armor insideThe armor is the kind of invulnerability, so it is especially good for the soldiers, it can protect the health of the body, and it is generally not life-threatening. Therefore, at that time, this **A was also popular with many people.

The above summary is what kind of clothes are worn in the armor, in fact, there is no specific verification of this, because we are not ancient people, but the conditions of people at that time were not particularly good, I think it should be most of the daily clothes. Because at that time, people may not have more money to buy some good clothes, so it should be the most reasonable answer to say that everyday clothes should be worn inside.

For wearing armor, just to avoid hurting yourself with something sharp. Because there was a war at that time, for the ancient people, there were no special good clothes to wear, and they were generally simple cloth clothes.

This is really my test, and I really haven't investigated what the ancient soldiers wore inside, so I think it should be normal to wear.

I really don't know this, I haven't seen what they wear inside their armor, there is only armor on TV, and I haven't acted out what they wear inside.

The armor should be full of clothes, otherwise, he can't be naked, and if he wears another layer of armor in the armor, it will be too heavy.

The armor should be their own clothes, and the armor of the ancients should be made of leather and metal, and they must not be worn directly.

Wear clothes inside, armor is a good self-defense equipment, as long as you don't break the armor, nothing else is terrible, just have him.

The generals wear ** armor, and the general wears ordinary.

There is also a heart-protecting bronze mirror in his house, which is specially designed to protect his heart from being shot by the enemy, this bronze mirror is so powerful.

You must have watched too much of the relevant film and television debutants! In fact, the ancient soldiers wore armor, and the effect was still very large.

On the one hand, in the era of cold weapons orange, bows and arrows were popular. Leather armor alone can effectively weaken the lethality of the enemy's bow and arrows. If it is iron armor, plus keeping a certain distance from the enemy, it can basically be said that it is "immune" to bows and arrows!

Secondly, in the case of armor, if it is slashed by the enemy with a knife, unless it is cut to the vital part, if it is cut on the armor, it is generally injured at most, not dead. But if you don't have armor, once you get slashed by a knife, the consequences are very serious! It's like modern warfare.

The helmet has the same protective effect on the soldier.

In addition, as for guns and spears (suspected of killing people), the defensive effect of general armor is really not large. But that's a different story

First of all, don't be misled by film and television dramas.

1. The leather armor and good shirts that ancient soldiers in our country were mainly equipped with friendly defense against bows and arrows, and limited defense against knives and guns in close combat.

2. Elite iron armor, we take the six standard iron armor of the Tang Dynasty, such as Mingguang and Shanwen, and the step armor of the Song Dynasty as an example, all of which belong to heavy iron armor, which is basically immune to the attack of bows and arrows, and only the siege-level long-range ** like the bed crossbow can cause damage. In the face of close-range attacks, unless directly hit the seam of the armor or the opening of the eye, it is basically not fatal.

3. The main death in ancient wars was not direct battle death but the death of wounded soldiers, and the fatality rate of wounded soldiers was as high as 8%.

4. It is very difficult to directly hack people to death with a knife, and stabbing to death is the basic common sense of ancient weapons. Except for heavy knives like Tang Mo Knife and Ming Yanyue Knife.

5. The main ** of the nomads against the iron armor is not the knife but the bone, that is, the hammer, mainly to cause internal bleeding.

No, it is very difficult to cut through the front of the armor at once, unless it is cut into the connecting gap of the armor piece.

You are misled by film and television dramas, the war in the era of cold weapons, as long as you are not cut to the point, you will basically not be hacked to death.

Because if you take off your armor, you may encounter some bad injuries and even make a person pay for their lives, so as long as you don't return to your own pure middle school, you won't take off your armor, and no one knows what kind of thing will happen to you in the next second.

If you take off your armor, you will injure yourself, and if you have an accident, you will not be able to protect yourself, and you will suffer from serious illness.

Soldiers wear armor for a long time to fight, resulting in the body emitted heat and sweat can not be discharged in time, if the sudden cold will accelerate the contraction of blood vessels, the body oxygen supply is lost, blood clots appear in blood vessels, and even stroke.

Because there is no guarantee that the enemy will not attack at any time after the battle, it is very dangerous to take off the armor immediately, so even if it is hot after the battle, the soldiers will not take off the armor immediately.

Because after strenuous exercise, it is easy to catch a cold when you take off your armor, and wind chill was fatal at the time.

If you take off your armor immediately, you may be killed, and in order to protect your own safety, even if the ancient soldiers finished fighting, even if the heat was unbearable, they should never take off their armor immediately. From the point of view of the ancients, they focused on tactical security. While it looks like the battle is over, that doesn't mean the enemy won't return.

From the general's point of view, they focus on tactical security, and this battle looks like it is over, but it does not mean that the enemy will not come back, and it is difficult to resist the enemy's breath if you take off your armor rashly. From the side of the medics, the reason why they didn't need to take off their armor immediately was because there was a terrible disease in the team called armor shedding.

The role of armor is to protect the body during battle, and usually soldiers wear armor all the time when fighting, so there is still a chance to wear it when fighting.

Armor is very domineering, but not all soldiers have the opportunity to wear it, because the cost of making a set of armor is very high, and if you make a set of armor for all soldiers, then the treasury will be empty.

Armor is worn by nobles, and only generals who charge into battle will enjoy high-end armor, and for ordinary soldiers, if they are strong in martial arts, they can also wear it, but not for ordinary soldiers.

The cost of a suit of armor is very high, and not all soldiers will be equipped, everyone will be equipped with a high-quality armor. But there's still a good chance that everyone can wear it.

In most cases, ancient soldiers still had the opportunity to wear armor to fight, after all, the role of armor is to protect themselves during battle. is part of the battle.
