The strength of Datang, we know a little bit about it. At that time, China was the center of the world, and the surrounding ethnic groups were trembling under the iron horse of Datang and did not dare to breathe, and while fearing Datang, they also longed for the prosperity and advancement of Datang. The Old Book of Tang, the Biography of Northern Di Lie, has a saying:
Tang Zhide is great! The heavens are covered, and the subjects belong to it; at home and abroad, there are all prefectures and counties, so the Heavenly Son is known as the "Heavenly Khan". Since the three kings, there has not been anything more than that. To the prince of the wasteland, wait for Tang Xi to be a country of energy; one is not a guest, and he is bound with him. Therefore, the barbarian Chen Yibao, heeled and caught in the court.
There is no doubt about the strength of Datang, it is reflected in all aspects, and Simon below shows the strength of Datang from one of them, the military uniform of the Tang Dynasty.
Horned Lion's Head Mountain Armor
As the representative armor of China's senior military generals, Shanwenjia has been revered since ancient times, but unfortunately, the production process has been lost. Simon found the Tang Horn Lion's Head Mountain Wenjia Hand Office created by Little Superman on the Internet, because it is downloaded from the Internet, so if there is infringement, please contact me to delete it. This hand is still relatively restored to the mountain armor, the mountain armor weaving is very complex, interlocking, can be seen as the combination and upgrade of the lock armor and the scale armor, the stabbing and slashing has a very good defensive effect, convection arrow flying arrow resistance is larger, can bite the main arrow continues to go deeper. However, because the production cost of Shan Wenjia is high, the production time is long, and the cost is expensive, it can only be worn by high-level martial artists. The model of the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the picture below, the upper half is wearing mountain armor, the lower body thigh position is wearing scaly armor, the left waist hangs a Tang knife, and the right waist gua quiver.
Brocade armor and blow back
The Tang Dynasty's brocade robes and armor and blowing backs are also very representative. Blowing back the hood is more common in the Sui and Tang armies, which is made of hard animal fur into the hat brim of the military helmet, and then turned it down to resist the bow and arrow, playing a role in protecting the head; the workmanship of the jinpao armor is not as complicated as the mountain armor, and the brocade armor is made of cloth rope to weave the iron armor pieces into a composite stack, so that it is not easy to be pierced by weapons, especially to avoid the damage from the bow and arrow, so that it is more advanced than the lock armor, and the defense has been greatly improved.
cavalry
The iron horses of the Tang Dynasty have always been famous all over the world, and the horrors of the Xuanjia Army can only be felt by their enemies. In coordination with the Tang cavalry, there is also the Tang Dynasty's strange knife team, and the appearance of the strange knife can be described as the nightmare of the enemy cavalry. The Old Book of Tang records:
The army of thieves was so big that they forced me to chase and ride, and broke into my camp, and my division was in chaos! Si Ye was a stripper, and the long knife stood in front of the battle and shouted: "The country is at this point, it is in danger, please start from the beginning of the si ye!" "When you are a knife maker, the people and horses are shattered!" Kill a dozen people, and the lineup is stationed. The soldiers of the former army came out with long swords and marched like a wall. He was the first to ascend to his destiny, and he was destroyed.
The heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were very powerful, and the light and heavy horses could be quickly switched, and the weapons equipped were knee guns, Tang long knives, and bows and arrows. And the Tang Dynasty cavalry was dressed very solemnly and gorgeously, usually with red ribbons on their heads. The horses are covered in armor, with flying feathers on their heads, and specially woven ring armor at the eye position.
Now many costume film and television drama armor is used indiscriminately, such as a director, what movies like to use "flying saucer hat", which is of course very unorthinkable. The TV series "Cabinet of Beauty" is relatively speaking, or relatively restored to the Tang armor, but the armor in the following picture, the part of the mountain armor is fictional, because the production process and pattern of the mountain armor have been lost.
Iron hood cortical blowing + tie armor + mountain shoulder armor skirt armor
Why is the armor model of this TV series more elaborate? Because compared with the chaotic situation of other TV series, most of the costumes of this TV series refer to some excavated ancient relics, so it is still quite good in terms of restoration, which is commendable. If you look at the Tang Dynasty warrior statue in the picture below, is it very similar to the film and television photo above? The difference is that in order to make the characters in the play more majestic and more gorgeous, the armor in the above picture has added shanwen armor shoulder armor and skirt armor.
But don't misunderstand, Simon did not write this article to promote any drama, for the strength of Datang, Simon has always been very fascinated. Of course, the military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty are more than this, because of the time, Simon Jun can not search for everyone one by one, and the famous armor of the Tang Dynasty has thirteen styles, such as mingguang, guangyao, lock, mountain text, black hammer, fine scales, leather armor, wooden armor, white cloth, soap juan, cloth back, etc., known as "Tang Thirteen Armor".
