247、Morning knife
Jing Wen came to a blacksmith shop in Chang'an City and planned to build some weapons, that is, the weapons he used in the future. The Avenge Army could not surpass Zhang Shigui's Right Guard Cavalry in a short period of time, so if you want to defeat them, you can only take tactical skills. If you want to use new tactics, you have to come up with new weapons, otherwise you will not be able to win at all. Now you have to solve the weapon problem, otherwise you will not be able to train. Jing Wen is also confident, confident that he can defeat Zhang Shigui with new tactics.
"What are you going to build?" asked the owner of the blacksmith shop.
Jing Wen immediately said: "I will draw a rough drawing and you will create it. The weight is about fifty kilograms, so don't be able to get ahead of it."
Jing Wen does not need to open the sword at the moment because he just needs training, so he does not need a real sword. But even if he does not open the sword, it is scary enough. The shop owner was immediately surprised when he saw this sword.
"This is similar to the Han Dynasty's Horse-Slaying Sword, but it seems to be better than the Horse-Slaying Sword. And it is very heavy, it is a big knife! What do you want to do? This is probably not something that our shop can build. If we build it without authorization, it will be a lawsuit."
"It doesn't matter, you can build it. I am everyone in the court." Jing Wen said.
Jing Wen then gave his title document to the weapons store owner. When the weapons store owner saw that he was still a viscount, he immediately agreed to this point. Because this was created by the people of the court, what else can be done?
Soon, under the construction of the blacksmith, the model of this big knife was formed. The big knife was made of 100 steel according to Jing Wen's requirements, and the blade was quenched to achieve sufficient hardness of the blade so that it could deal with the cavalry in the following battle. Because this strange knife directly cuts and kills the cavalry, if it is not tough enough, then there will be problems after the chopping and killing. Not to mention people, just say that the bones of the horse are very hard. If the blade is not hard enough, it may be very easy to destroy.
"Sir, this is made of stainless steel and is extremely precious." said the owner of the blacksmith shop.
However, when Jing Wen looked at this material, even Jing Wen, an amateur, could clearly see that the quality of the steel was obviously not good. This kind of steel may not be used to build kitchen knives in later generations, let alone to make such war knives? However, Jing Wen had no choice. This is the technology that could be used in this era. Can we directly get the steelmaking equipment of later generations and then make it to a level that is no less than that of thousands of steelmaking and tens of thousands of steelmaking? Therefore, at present, we can only use it.
"Oh, this knife is so heavy!" Jing Wen complained.
Jing Wen felt that this knife was at least twenty pounds from later generations. Although Jing Wen could hold it, he could not wield it. The physical energy required to wield a weapon was countless times higher. Therefore, there were many people who could pick up this Mo sword, but not many people could wield it. Jing Wen finally knew why there were so few troops in the Tang Dynasty equipped Mo sword in history. Apart from the expensive construction of Mo swords, there were probably not many people who could use it. This is a weapon for infantry warfare, and ordinary generals generally would not use it.
"Sir, this is a fifty kilogram. Of course it has sunk." said the owner of the blacksmith shop.
"Liu Rengui, do you think if this person can kill him and his horse after he starts his way?" Jing Wen asked.
Liu Rengui answered affirmatively: "It's certainly possible! Such a large knife, with a knife, one knife, it will definitely be a cavalry nightmare. With such a powerful soldier, it's hard to be the opponent of such a shaman. I really don't know, Brother Jingwen, how did you come up with this kind of method? It's so powerful!"
Of course, Jing Wen would not admit that he was copying the methods of other generals of the Tang Dynasty and using this method. As for whom this method was thought out, Jing Wen certainly would not be very clear. However, Jing Wen found that there was no such so-called Modao at present, so he used it directly. If this kind of killing star is not used in vain. If it can succeed in the future, his reputation will probably spread throughout the world with this Modao.
The next day, Jing Wen immediately returned to Pinglu County with this sword and found the soldiers who had been chosen by Zhang Shigui before. Although Zhang Shigui was very petty, he had to admit that his ability to choose soldiers was still good, and 40,000 people were very excellent soldiers. Because he had been slaves from the Turks for a long time, his diet was more favorable to the Turks, and his physical fitness was much better than that of the Han people. Moreover, after working for a long time, his physical fitness was much stronger than that of the Han people, and he was a rare good soldier. However, these soldiers now belonged to the avenge army led by Jing Wen.
"Jiang Xiong, what do you think of this knife?" Jing Wen asked.
Jiang Xiong picked up the Mo sword, waved it carefully, and said, "Good knife! This knife is just right for someone like me who is powerful. I am afraid it is used to kill horses. If you cut one knife, even the people and horses will be split in half."
Jiang Xiong was also a slave who had been a slave in the Turks for a long time. Of course, he knew the situation of the Turks. If he had a heavy knife, he would even cut people and horses to death. The Turks did not have heavy armor, so they were not opponents. The war was to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Although the cavalry in the Central Plains was not as good as the Turks, they had more resources than the Turks. The Central Plains had steel and could build steel, which allowed the infantry in the Central Plains to be generally worn with armor, and their protection ability was much stronger than that of the Turks. The Turks did not have steel and could not smel and build steel. Even if there were a small number of blacksmiths who had plundered, they could not satisfy the whole army's armor. Therefore, if this heavy knife was used, those Turkish cavalry who were just wearing leather jackets would probably be done.
"Sir Jing Wen, let me be responsible for the candidate for Modao! Don't you choose two thousand people to compete with Zhang Shigui for military exercises? Let me organize some strong men to help you use this Modao. We must defeat Zhang Shigui, so sir, you can win the position of our great general!" Jiang Xiong said.
Chapter completed!
