Spring and Autumn I Am King

"It seems that the horseshoe and the ring knife are both effective."

Sitting in the rear army, Zhao Wuxi watched the enemy's right army disintegrate under the hammer and anvil tactics, and said to the people next to him.

Because it was necessary to repair the damaged weapon and record the performance and improvement plan of the new weapon, Cao Bing, an iron officer who accompanied the army, said respectfully: "Thanks to Mo Xie, this magical weapon can be used in the army! The generals and soldiers must have one. Huan Shou Dao is proud."

Zhao Wuxi shook his head helplessly: "It took a whole year, the blast furnace did not go out all night, but only a thousand iron knives were forged, which can only be supplied to the cavalry for the time being." After all, he only has one Ludi, more than In less than a year, the descendant Sun Wu has forged thousands of knives.

Taoqiu's iron workshop has been open for more than three years. Previously, it had been focusing on casting iron agricultural tools, but there was no progress in weapons. It was not until Mo Xie arrived a year ago that she presented the iron smelting method inherited from Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, which greatly improved the quality and output of iron.

Therefore, although Mo Xie replaced Cao Bing's position, even though she was a Wuyue woman, he did not dare to complain.

Because General Zhao once publicly stated that with Mo Xie alone, he could be worth 10,000 disciples!

In the past, Dong Zhao's army had always used only bronze weapons, which was like a person with only one foot, unable to support a single tree. And the supply of iron finally allowed Lu *gong to land on his feet, and many new inventions were created one after another.

For example, horseshoes.

Originally, a horse's hoof was composed of two layers, and the one that was in contact with the ground was a layer of hard horny, called horseshoe. The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, and is rubbed by the ground and corroded by the accumulated water. Once it travels a long distance, it is easy to fall off, affecting the health and combat ability of the horse.

For cavalry and charioteers. This has always been a big problem, or Zhao Wuqi came up with the idea, that is, nailing horseshoes. The hoof-shaped horseshoe is cast from wear-resistant pig iron. It can not only protect the horse's hoof, but also delay the wear of the horse's shoe. It also makes the hooves grip the ground more firmly, which is good for both riding and driving.

What was invented by the Romans three hundred years later appeared in advance in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The first to receive this treatment was the war horse. This time, the Zhao family came to the west lightly, and the loss of the horse was as small as a single digit.

With Mo Xie's technique and Zhao Wuxi's correct guidance. The state of Lu has begun to run into the Iron Age. The booming iron smelting industry made Wuzun into a rare iron hero in this era.

In addition to the horseshoes that are highly praised by experts, but unknown to laypeople, Taoqiu is even more famous for the new type of iron weapons.

...

"At the time of Xuanyuan, Shennong, and Hexu, stone was used as soldiers; at the time of the Yellow Emperor, jade was used as soldiers; at Yu's Cave, copper was used as soldiers; until now, iron should be used as soldiers!" This is one year. Previously, Zhao Wuxi rejected Taoqiu's plan to forge a large number of iron swords, and instead drew what he said after drawing the shape of a "ring-shoudao".

He remembered it well. The ring-head knife was a weapon developed by the Han army to develop a powerful cavalry. This kind of thing actually existed in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yin, Zhou, and Autumn Periods, but it was only cast from bronze. Due to the limitations of the performance of bronze itself. It is destined that the melee weapons can only be stabbed, and the slashing will easily lead to the destruction of the weapon, so the bronze knife is small in shape, only used for cutting leather, and cannot be used in actual combat. This kind of small knife is widely used in Yan and Qi, and has also been turned into a currency "Qi knife" by Qi people according to this shape.

But in the Warring States Period, steel provided a tougher skeleton for weapons, which gave birth to iron knives three or four feet long. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi's point is not too far ahead of the times. Just let the Iron Workshop take the right path ahead of time.

Because the head end of the knife handle is made into an oblate ring without exception, the "ring head knife" is named after it. The stem and ring head are forged in one piece. Then it is connected with the blade body by inlay welding, and then reinforced with eye nails. Install the wooden handle. The blade of the knife is repeatedly folded and forged with black-hearted malleable iron, less than ten times, as many as twenty or thirty times, and then quenched and strengthened in animal oil. This is the standard configuration of which thousand knives, and as for the "Hundred Forged" swordsman like Zhao Wuxi's hand, it is still not popular.

When they first got the weapons, the cavalry had doubts, but as an expert in cavalry combat, Wu Xie, who invented the Raven Soldier's Scattering Star Formation and Hammer Anvil tactics, naturally had his own reasons.

"Due to the double-sided edge of the sword, it is not conducive to immediate combat, it is not conducive to chopping, and it is easy to break, which is very unfavorable in the close combat of the cavalry. And this kind of ring-head sword with one-sided edge and thick ridge is the most conducive to The slashing weapons, coupled with the long- and short-range coordination of the cavalry bow and the iron halberd, can greatly enhance the cavalry's attack power!"

This battle of Muye was the first time that the Huan Shou Dao was used on the battlefield where the strong enemy was staggered. A long sword is just as easy to break, and can be held by a cavalryman with one hand, and the skills are also quick and proficient.

In a high-speed charge, the tip of the knife points diagonally forward, which can easily slit the enemy's throat. After standing on the horse, raise your hand, slash, and the blood splashes, which can make the enemy lose combat effectiveness. The ring-headed blade is three and a half feet long, and even if it accidentally falls off the horse, it is a destructive force against the two-foot bronze sword commonly used by Shang Handan soldiers.

Just like when the Master Shangfu rode the geese on the chariot to the division, causing the chaos of the Shang soldiers, when hundreds of Zhao's cavalry broke through the left wing of the Handan division like a sharp blade, Handan Ji, who was commanding the right wing, was completely stunned...

...

Brothers are against the wall, and outside defends their insults.

Although his ancestor was a member of the Zhao clan, from a very young age, Handan Ji treated only the cousin of the Zhongxing clan as a brother, and treated the descendants of the Zhao clan as passers-by.

Especially the conflict in the Pan Palace made Handan Ji and Zhao Wuxi look like fire and water.

But it was only today that he realized that the fire was so intense that it almost dried up the small puddle of his.

It wasn't until after the battle that he realized that in just a few years, Dong Zhao's power was so powerful, that sharp blade, and that helpless tactic made him feel powerless.

However, at this moment, it is impossible not to fight!

In this era, there is a saying that is widely circulated in various countries, "The hatred of the father is not the same as the sky, the hatred of brothers is not against the soldiers, and the hatred of friends is not the same as the country!"

It means that the sons cannot live under the same blue sky as the enemy who kills their father. No matter where the enemy is, the sons have to find and kill the enemy with their own hands; if their brother is killed, they must always carry weapons with them. When you see your enemy, you kill it; your good friend is killed, you can't live in the same country as your enemy, you either kill your enemy or chase and kill your enemy and flee abroad.

Handan Ji firmly believed that Zhao Wuxi had a grudge against him for killing his father!

So today he brought a mourning soldier, a mourning soldier who resisted indignantly after the Handan clan was oppressed by the Zhao clan for a period of time.

Therefore, Handan Ji must fight. He may have been timid and avoided fighting before, but at this moment, he has no choice.

The soldiers under his command can escape and surrender, but he cannot.

If there is no revenge, there is only one death! This is the dignity of a warrior of the Jin Kingdom. His ancestors Zhao Chuan and Zhao Zhan all displayed this spirit of being timid in small matters, but not afraid of death in big incidents. This spirit flows in the blood of their family.

This is the greatest pride of Handan, and it is also what they think is different from the Zhao family.

Handan Ji has never been afraid of death, otherwise, he would not have done the matter of beating up Zhao Wuxi and Zhao Guangde in the Pan Palace with the two gentlemen from Bank of China and Fan, just for the sake of resentment.

"Handan!" Facing the front line that was about to collapse, he suddenly shouted loudly, and stood by the last chariot barrier with the guards around him.

The long sword in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and there were only a few people left. The rest either died or fled. Under the powerful blow, the soldiers of the Handan Clan became so small and so frightened. He went on a killing spree, his arms turning red to the elbows.

Another spearman from the enemy formation rushed towards him. Handan Ji cut off his spearhead with a sword, and then stabbed his hand and arm. His swordsmanship has always been superb.

A knight who rushed into Handan's army on horseback appeared out of nowhere, raised his terrible single-edged weapon and slashed again and again at the guard's shield. After killing him, he was not prevented by Handan Ji's sword. Sneak attack, stabbed under the armpit.

In the end, an archer without a bow grabbed the arrow and stabbed it like a dagger, but Handan Ji's personal guard slashed his thigh, and suddenly fell all fours to the sky, Handan Ji laughed and stabbed with a sword. into his heart.

After killing three people in a row, Handan Ji regained his self-confidence. In order to bring the terrified soldiers back to his side~www.readwn.com~ he raised his sword again and shouted loudly: "Handan! Handan..."

However, the shouting stopped abruptly, and an arrow accurately shot into Handan Ji's eye socket, leaving only the arrow feathers outside, turning it into a blood hole. Before Handan Ji could say the next sentence, he fell to the ground and died.

"bingo!"

Yan Gao Shang, who is good at shooting with arms and arms, maintained the posture of drawing a bow and shooting. He smiled proudly when he saw the enemy general who was wearing a beautiful black armor and was still stubbornly resisting after the collapse of the battle.

"In the middle of the eye socket!"

Yan Gao has no hobbies, just a good face, and likes to brag with the Paozes. He remembered the lesson outside the city of Yangzhou, and began to inscribe the word "high" on each of his arrow shafts. He would remember the position where each shot dead fell to the ground, and he would go to a place after the war. After searching for the corpse, cut off the left ear, tie the head, and then hold up the blood-stained arrow shaft to make a sacrifice to the lord!

ps: It's finished, the exam is over, and I'm asking for a monthly pass again. In July, I really want to know if I can make it into the top ten in the monthly pass list. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit //m.ia
