Competing

Chapter 264 The Sword Master

Looking at the three patterns on the white silk, Pu Jun, Su Jiao, Su An, Gao Yi, Lu Ming and Zhou Da, several important ministers of the Yue Kingdom were all surprised from ear to ear.Although it is just a drawing, although there is no real thing, there is no actual operation and experiment.But they can imagine the magic of these things, and what kind of changes and effects the Yue cavalry regiment will have after they are actually equipped in the future.

Especially Su Jiao, when he was still a general of the Qin State, he was stationed at the Great Wall in Shangjun.He clearly remembered the equipment and combat effects of the Qin and Zhao cavalry.There are also those nomads who claim to grow on horseback, and he clearly feels the condition of their cavalry.Those so-called special iron cavalry, such elite cavalry... All of them are not mentioned all the time in front of the future Yue cavalry regiment, they are all floating clouds.

He didn't know where Yin Xu got these patterns, and what was more in his heart was surprise.The prototypes of some things existed before, but they have never been used. Now King Yue innovates them one by one, and some of them are his own inventions.

Su Jiao couldn't imagine how Yin Xu would have such a whimsical idea, Mo Zhai, the legendary Mo family's giant, and Gongshu Pan, who was ingenious and ingenious.Those miraculous masters who are good at mechanics are probably more aware of it than Yue Wang.A skilled craftsman seems to be too overqualified to use it on the King of Yue.

After being shocked, Su Jiao was the most surprised. He was glad that he was the commander of this magical cavalry regiment.He will be the first witness of what kind of miracle will happen in the future. Thinking of this, Su Jiao feels inexplicable excitement in his heart.

The others were even more amazed. The young Su An looked excited and said, "Your Majesty, these things are really magical weapons. In the future, our Yue Kingdom's cavalry will be the most powerful. I haven't heard you mention it before. It was quite a surprise.”

Pu Jun couldn't help being a little alarmed, he had been with Yin Xu for so long, although he knew that his King Yue was very extraordinary.I have already seen his novelty, but I am still a little immune today.It may be that these three artifacts are too miraculous, and somewhat shocked the mighty and steady General Pu.

Gao Yi is a civil servant and doesn't know much about military affairs, but he can see a thing or two from it.Especially after hearing the king's thorough and thorough analysis, and the generals were fascinated by it, their faces were full of shock, and in the end they were all pleasantly surprised.From this, it can be deduced that the pattern on the white silk of Yue Wang Yinxu is really magical, and the benefits it will bring to Yue in the future will be enough to surprise...

The fief that was originally obtained due to the great contribution of King Yue was a bit small and depressed. It was not easy to implement Yin Xu's ambition of competing in the world and winning the Central Plains. They were worried, but now they are full of confidence.But these three things are enough to make many princes feel ashamed and terrified.

Who knows how many strange artifacts the king of Yue still has in his heart, and the equipment of the Yue army can be imagined.Even though there are not many troops, the combat effectiveness has increased by an unknown amount.The army of Yue is bound to shock one side, and the road to contend for hegemony will be much easier.

Lu Ming and Zhou Da were even more pleasantly surprised. They have now clearly grasped the miraculous benefits of these three artifacts to the cavalry.Zhou Da is even more excited now, he really wants to make all these things and equip them on the war horse for a try.Experience, that sturdy and powerful desire to fight and infinite power...

Hearing the excitement of several ministers under his command and seeing their smiling faces, King Yue Yinxu couldn't help shaking his head slightly.At present, all these are beautiful, but everything is still just a beautiful blueprint, and the effect can only be seen after it is implemented.And their excitement seems to be a bit too much, alas...

Yin Xu is clearly aware of a practical problem, that is, even if his Yue cavalry regiment has Takahashi saddles, stirrups and ring swords, it will become an elite army.The role played in local or short-term battles is self-evident.However, it might not be easy to influence the entire battle situation and play a decisive role.

After all, there are limited war horses now, and the cavalry regiment formed in the early stage has only [-] cavalry, which can be regarded as an elite force.At some point, it can indeed exert a huge effect, but in the future, it will be placed near the Central Plains in the north of the river, and it will face tens of thousands of armies from all the princes.Three thousand riders seemed insignificant.

If you want to truly use cavalry to make meritorious service, you must increase the size of the cavalry regiment of the Yue Kingdom, and cavalry fighters are readily available.It's just a problem with the war horses... The south is not a pastoral area, and war horses are really scarce. This has become a problem, and Yin Xu must find a way to solve it.

Another problem is the manufacture of these artifacts. Stirrups and Takahashi saddles are easy to say, and it is not difficult to make.It's just the ring head knife... You must know that the ring head knife is made of steel after continuous folding, forging and quenching.This has extremely high requirements on the smelting and forging of steel, so making weapons has become a problem that cannot be ignored.

It can be foreseen that a lot of steel and events must be consumed to create a good ring head knife.If there are any problems in the process of building, it will be difficult to deal with, and it will inevitably delay the equipment of the ring first sword in the army of Yue.

To be honest, when Yin Xu was designing, according to the different situations of cavalry and infantry, he made a small change to the ring head knife.He designed war knives for different arms respectively. He had an idea, that is, to equip all the troops of Yue State with Shanghuan first knives.If this can be achieved, it can be said that the 10 troops of the Yue State can equal the combat power of more than [-] other princes, and even far exceed...

Therefore, the making of weapons is a problem that cannot be ignored. It must be prepared as soon as possible. Steel materials are easy to handle, and the key lies in the craftsmen who make weapons.Because the production of ring head knives is relatively complicated, it is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can preside over to complete the production.What's more, Yin Xu's intention is to make a large-scale claim, which is even more serious.

Yin Xu is glad that his fiefdom is in the Yue Kingdom, and he knows that throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Yue Kingdom is most famous for two things.One is the glamorous Yue girl who moves the world, and the other is the proud sword casting technique.

At that time, the two most famous swordsmiths in the world, Ou Yezi and General Mo Xie, were probably from the Yue Kingdom.At that time, the famous swords in the world, as well as the legendary swords and weapons widely praised by later generations, were almost all made by the swordsmiths of the Yue Kingdom.For example, the sword "Duan Shui" of Yue King Yin Xu was forged by a swordsmith invited by the former Yue King Gou Jian.

It can be said that Yue State is an outstanding place in forging weapons and swords, and has extraordinary specialties.Thinking about the more extensive inheritance of swordsmiths in Laiyue Kingdom, there should be skilled swordsmiths in the territory. This is the talent Yin Xu wants most now. It can be said that he is tossing and turning, eager for talents.

But when I first arrived in Yue country, I was blind to everything here.Where can I find the master swordsmith?

Only Yue Wang Yinxu said: "Remember, these things are the top secrets of our country, and they must not be leaked."

Once the artifacts such as Takahashi saddle, stirrup and Huanshou knife are used to the outside world, it is inevitable that they will be exposed and leaked, and there will definitely be a large number of people imitating them.This point is absolutely uncontrollable. Many inventions have spread all over the world in a short period of time, and it is reasonable for them to be widely loved by people. Therefore, popularization and development are inevitable.

But now these things are still in the research and development stage, and in the future at least they will have the effect of catching them by surprise.If the secret was leaked early, it would be a great loss to Yue.Moreover, other princes knew that it would not be a good thing for King Yue to prepare for war in this aspect, so Yin Xu paid special attention to it, and must be careful not to make the slightest mistake, otherwise the loss will be great.

All the ministers present here are loyal ministers to Yue Wang Yin Xu, so they naturally understand the importance, and they all nodded their heads. This important secret will definitely not be leaked.

Yin Xu then said again: "Don't get too excited, this is just a drawing, and it can only be confirmed after the sample is built and tested. What's more... Su Jiao is right, but the horse breed brought back from Guanzhong , and there will not be too many horses produced locally in our country in a short period of time. So the size of the cavalry regiment will naturally be greatly limited, so the maximum use it can make is quite limited, do you understand?"

Everyone felt a little sad when they heard it. They were all immersed in the invincible and unparalleled situation of the Yue cavalry army.I don't want to hear this sentence, it is inevitable that I will break the cold water, but this is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Zhou Da seemed a little disappointed, and asked, "My lord, where did we get the horses?"

Yue Wang Yinxu frowned, shook his head lightly and said: "This widow doesn't know, let's take a step and see..."

There are many coincidences in the world. Many things can be said to be in the dark, and God has already arranged them.Yue Wang Yinxu didn't know that when he was worrying about the war horse, a group of people, to be precise, thought that the beautiful woman was already trying to find a way for Yue Wang Yinxu.

What does it mean that there must be a road to the front of the mountain by car, and a straight line from the boat to the bridge? At that time, Yue Wang Yinxu will really have the opportunity to experience it...

Everything depends on the situation behind before deciding, and everyone can only hold such a mentality now.Fortunately, we already have such a foundation, and it is much easier to prepare. Now we can do the best we can, which can be regarded as accumulating some experience.What's more, there is another important thing now, which is not only related to the cavalry corps.

After all, the current Yue infantry is the main force. As a common artifact for cavalry and infantry, the creation of the ring head knife cannot be ignored.What is most needed now is an excellent swordsmith!Where should I look for it?
