The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 171 The Power of the Yanling Knife

The two princes have used all kinds of weapons, and the repeating crossbow is the weapon they disdain the most.

This kind of thing is only used when dealing with some enemies without any armor at short distances.

It can cause a certain amount of damage to the enemy, unless poison is applied to the crossbow arrows.

As long as there is blood, you can kill the enemy.

Otherwise, expect this continuous-fire crossbow to kill the enemy on the battlefield...

That was a joke.

But this time, they felt it the moment they moved their arrows and crossbows.

The strength of this kind of boosted continuous-fire crossbow to trigger the bowstring is almost the same as that of a longbow!

Fortunately, the rotation of the two mechanical gears at both ends of the crossbow arm does not require too much effort.

"There's something weird about these two wheels!"

Li Que had already seen that the wheels on both sides of the crossbow arm were connected to the bow string.

When the quiver was pulled just now, the wheel was also turning.

"What a heavy force!"

Li Wenkai's eyes also lit up at the same time.

Whoosh!

As the two fired crossbows curiously, a series of cold lights hit the door more than ten steps away.

Duan Chun shook his head, this door had to be replaced.

As the two gentlemen rushed to the gate in surprise, they struggled to pull out arrows and crossbows.

The light of surprise in his eyes has completely shone.

"I'll go, this kind of continuous shooting crossbow is so powerful!"

"I can conclude that within thirty steps, it can definitely penetrate the enemy's ordinary armor."

Li Wenkai walked to Duan Chun in surprise and said.

"The continuous-fire crossbow that this guy built uses these two wheels to increase the power of the bow string, right?"

Li Que also understood the situation.

"Yes, just a slight improvement nephew."

"It can increase the bow string's ejection force by nearly twice."

"Couple this with this new type of crossbow."

"Don't say within thirty steps, even forty steps."

"Once the continuous crossbow is at full power, the enemy will be able to defeat the enemies as long as they are not wearing high-grade armor."

"Nothing can stop the lethality of this crossbow."

"Especially when light cavalry are engaged on horseback against enemy cavalry."

"The power and continuous fire capability of this weapon can be fully utilized."

Duan Chun nodded.

"The power of this crossbow is indeed beyond my imagination."

"How much does my nephew ask for this kind of crossbow?"

Li Que asked.

"It's hard to say right now."

"Because the military workshop has not yet been successfully built."

"The cost cannot be determined, so my nephew gave each of his two uncles a box of repeating crossbows."

"Please ask your two uncles to take it to the border for trial use."

"If it is determined that its power can cause greater damage to the enemy."

"It can play a sufficient role on the battlefield."

"Only my nephew will vigorously promote the construction of this kind of crossbow."

Duan Chun said.

"Okay, then we won't be polite."

Li Wenkai was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Today is really not in vain, I can actually get ten supercharged continuous shooting crossbows for free.

There are hundreds of arrows, so he has to take them back to the border.

How about finding some blind enemies and testing the power of crossbow arrows?

"These are two horizontal knives made by my nephew for my two uncles."

"I would also like to ask my two uncles to appreciate it."

Duan Chun walked to the second wooden box. There were two long sheathed knives on the lid.

From the sabers worn by his father and his bodyguards, he already knew the condition of the current weapons.

The sword of the great general of the Dakang Empire was the same as that of the ancient Southern and Northern Dynasties.

It is a ring-shaped straight knife.

The blade of the ring-head straight knife is thin, narrow, and has a certain arc as a whole.

The materials used are mainly iron and copper.

Because in this era, cast iron knives are prone to breakage.

Therefore, in order to ensure the strength of the blade, craftsmen had to use copper materials to ensure the length of the blade.

Most of the ring-headed straight knives before the Sui and Tang Dynasties were made of copper and iron materials.

Even though some knives are made of iron, the lack of technology makes the iron material very easy to damage.

Therefore, the ring-headed fixed knives that have been passed down to modern times have been extremely rusty.

It wasn't until the Tang Dynasty's Hengdao used iron alloy materials that it became an absolute killing weapon in the true sense!

Let Tang Dynasty sweep across the world and become the true Khan of Heaven.

These two knives were made after Duan Chun successfully smelted iron alloy.

Immediately let the craftsmen build the most powerful ancient cold weapon according to their own ideas.

Yan Ling Dao from the Ming Dynasty!

The cold weapons of ancient my country developed into the Ming Dynasty.

The types of knives continued to evolve until the Yanling knife appeared.

It has completely exceeded the power of all long knives in history!

The Yanling knife is made of more solid materials than the Tang Hengdao, the knife is stretched, and the blood grooves on the blade are neat and powerful.

The blade is sharp, the shape is beautiful, and it is both practical and ceremonial.

It is estimated that many people will think that Hengdao is the strongest cold weapon.

But Duan Chun knew very well that the types of knives changed.

It will continue to change based on the development of the enemy's armor.

Hengdao represents the strongest era in our country's history, but it comes down to fighting on the battlefield.

In terms of the destructive power against the enemy's armor, the Hengdao is compared with the Yanling Dao.

It is an old antique that has been eliminated for a long time.

So as soon as the ferroalloy came out, Duan Chun let the craftsmen follow their own ideas.

And the folding and forging skills provided were used to create these two Yanling knives from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The two princes stretched out their hands curiously and each picked up a Yanling knife.

"This knife is so heavy!"

"Yes, this knife is twice as heavy as my saber!"

The two dukes said with their eyes wide open in surprise.

As the two curiously drew their sabers out of their sheaths, the cold and shining blades immediately surprised the two.

"This knife looks so strange."

"But it is more suitable for my strength than my saber."

Li Wenkai tried to swing the Yanling knife and was instantly excited.

"If this knife is used on the battlefield, it will definitely be powerful enough!"

"My saber has always been light."

"This knife is the weapon I should use!"

Li Que waved the knife in his hand, and his eyes suddenly showed excitement.

"Wenkai, pull out your saber."

"My nephew, if I use this knife to fight with his saber."

"My nephew won't feel bad, right?"

Li Que smiled and heard.

"Why would my nephew feel bad?"

"These two knives are for you two uncles to use in the battlefield."

"If you don't even dare to touch the enemy's knives."

"What's the point of making them?"

Duan Chun said with a smile.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Li Que held the Yanling Knife and looked at Li Wenkai...

Li Wenkai had put down the Yanling Knife and pulled out his own sword.

The huge difference between the two knives can be clearly seen by just comparing them.

The two knives are about the same length, and both are 90 centimeters long with the handle.

But of the two knives, the ring-handled knife is thinner and narrower, while the Yanling Knife is thicker and wider.

Duan Chun doesn't have to guess, if these two knives chop each other.

No matter the material or the shape, the Yanling Knife will definitely win.

Li Que and Li Wenkai both held the knives with both hands and stood facing each other.

At the same time, they waved their long knives and rushed forward...

Dang!

After a burst of metal collision, the two figures quickly separated.

Li Wenkai looked at the blade of the straight knife in his hand in surprise.

A clear gap had been opened.

His right hand holding the knife felt numb.

This blow almost made the sword in his hand fly out of his hand!

There was only a slight mark on the blade of the Yanling knife in Li Que's hand.

With a wipe of his finger, even the mark disappeared without a trace!
