252. The Three Swords of the Tang Dynasty (Part 1)

The officers went down to draw personnel for training separately, and then they should have started preparing for the military exercises soon. This military exercise was related to Jing Wen's future, so Jing Wen of course attached great importance to it. Even Jing Wen paid out of his own pocket and bought a lot of meat for the soldiers to repair their bodies. The standard equipment sent by the court had been sent, all of which were ordinary equipment from the Tang Dynasty army, and they did not discriminate or pay too much attention. These equipment were not much, not much, but the number of two thousand people, because only two thousand people participated in the military exercises. As for the risks, Li Shimin was not worried about what the two thousand people could do. Two thousand people, compared with hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty, was not enough to block the teeth!

"Ha-ha-ha!" Jiang Xiong started training with those knives, and suddenly burst into shouting sounds.

When other guys saw these Modao, they were envious and jealous. Because this Modao was designed by Jing Wen and was very imposing to use. However, the Tang Dynasty sword in his hand had nothing strange. This is just an ordinary straight knife, not a distinctive knife.

"Feng Yong, how about you tell me we will also ask the adults to design a good knife for us? We are not happy to see them showing off!" Zhu Dan said.

Zhu Dan immediately said: "Since that's the case, that's fine! Let's go and have an adult design a knife that looks imposing."

Soon, they all found Jing Wen.

"Sir, can you design a good knife for us?" Feng Yong asked.

"Let me design it? Don't you have the standard saber given by the imperial court?" Jing Wen asked back.

Feng Yong immediately said: "Those guys were so annoying that they actually took out the Modao given by the adults and showed off all day long. The Modao has momentum, and we all want it. But the Modao must be used by people with extremely powerful strength, so we want the adults to help us design a knife that is lighter and looks OK."

"Don't you use a horizontal sword? That is one of the four swords of the Tang Dynasty, which means sweeping the world!" Jing Wen asked.

"Bah, what swept the world? It's just a straight knife, it has no characteristics?" Feng Yong said.

Jing Wen couldn't help but guess. Has the horizontal sword not invented yet? But perhaps the four types of swords in the Tang Dynasty were not invented at the same time. Mo Dao has not invented two, so other swords should not have been invented either. That means that the living Jing Wen can be used as a philosophical one.

"If I just take the four types of swords from the Tang Dynasty, then I'm too unfair, right? Since I have copied them all, I might as well copy them more advancedly and get them in one step." Jing Wen thought to himself.

Jing Wen said: "Since that's the case, I'll help the infantry design a short knife!"

"Sir, our cavalry also needs a new battle knife!" said Zhang Dong, a company commander of the cavalry company.

Jing Wen asked immediately, "Don't your cavalry use a knife?"

But Zhang Dong said: "Our cavalry does not use swords, our cavalry uses horse lances. It is very difficult to use horse lances, and it may take several years to pass the training. And we also want to use swords instead, so it is much easier to train like this. Although horse lances are powerful, they take too long."

Jing Wen did not expect that the cavalry of this era actually used horse lances. Jing Wen also understood it, which was the predecessor of the long spear. However, there was a saying in ancient times that it was called the moon stick and year knife for a lifetime, which could indicate that long spear training was very difficult. Horse lances were more difficult than long spears. Long spears were actually just a simplified version of the horse lance. If you want to practice horse lances, you must start laying the foundation from a young age. Otherwise, the results will be very low in the future. Therefore, those who can learn horse lances are the families of soldiers. A horse lance is also very high, and most people cannot afford it. Even a good horse lance can be used for several generations. This is a good thing for collectors. At the beginning, for a country, if the army's equipment is so expensive, the Minister of Revenue will vomit blood.

Therefore, the lancers in later generations were gradually eliminated, and finally changed to using a saber. The saber can have both assassination and also have two functions of chopping and killing. Moreover, neither of them has been degraded too little, and they can balance the two. This will make the saber more functional, more flexible in war horses, and the cost of training is also lower. Overall, the saber is better than the saber, at least for the army of a country. Therefore, fewer and fewer people use the saber, and finally they are gradually eliminated. However, the Tang Dynasty still used the saber, and Jing Wen is about to start using the saber now.

"Okay, I'll design an additional cavalry knife, too." Jing Wen said.

Everyone was satisfied, and Jing Wen began to open his mind and find ways to "design" a good knife. Jing Wen was also a military fan in his previous life, so he had some understanding of many military weapons. He thought about several cold weapons from later generations and finally chose two.

These two models are the Six-Five Cavalry Knife in later generations, which is the last cavalry Knife in China. This knife is imitated by the Japanese 32 cavalry Knife, but it is better than the 32 cavalry Knife. Moreover, after historical development, it has been the peak of the cavalry Knife. This cavalry Knife is much better than the ancient sabers, because history is developing, and things are becoming more and more advanced. Jing Wen suddenly brought such advanced things. Anyway, it is cold weapons, which is just a problem of design ideas, and there is no industrial discipline fault.

As for the infantry knife, Jing Wen used the American Mad Dog Tactical Assault Knife in later generations. This knife is designed with a relatively reasonable design, rich functions, and conforms to ergonomic principles, and is much easier to use than ancient knives. However, the only disadvantage is that it was impossible to use so many alloy steel in ancient times. It can only be used better in design, but it cannot meet the standards of the Mad Dog Tactical Assault Knife in materials. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Mad Dog Tactical Assault Knife in the future will definitely be much worse than those in later generations.

"Go and call the person who has been a blacksmith. I want to build weapons!" Jing Wen said.

Soon, the blacksmith built these two knives. However, compared with the two knives in later generations, they were actually only in shape but had no actual effect. If they really encountered the original version of later generations, they would probably not be able to withstand the slashes of later generations and would definitely be broken.
