Mo knife invincible on the battlefield, the Tang army with Mo knife and the "four yi" cavalry battle lined up into a wall, the blade forward, down the leg of the horse, on the head of the head, just like cutting melons and vegetables, with the overwhelming momentum of the enemy army. The Tang Dynasty dominated the world with the support of Modao and became the largest emperor in the world at that time.

But in the Song Dynasty, Tang knives, including Mo knives, were banned, and the people were not allowed to produce them, so that the Tang knife forging technology was lost. The performance of the Song Dynasty's war knife was far inferior to the Tang knife, in the era of cold weapons and firearms, the knife was still the main weapon in hand-to-hand combat, and the Song Dynasty not only "eliminated" the Tang knife, but also "eliminated" the Tang Dynasty's excellent tactics.

Of course, there are other theories about the disappearance of the Mo knife, such as the cost of war, the production of the Mo knife is complex, the process requirements are high, and the cost of a knife is also quite high.

In addition, there are changes in tactics that lead to the reduction of the effect of the Mo Knife, etc., all in all, the reason for the loss of the Mo Knife has been inconclusive.

Moreover, what is even more strange is that a large number of iron weapons were unearthed in the Han Dynasty, which was much earlier than the Sui and Tang dynasties, such as spearheads, iron halberds, skulls and long swords; a little earlier in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were also a large number of weapons and armor unearthed; and in the later Song and Yuan dynasties, there were even some weapons that have been handed down to the present day (especially in the folk circulation, not unearthed cultural relics).

Moreover, the masterpiece of "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" introduces in great detail the various weapons and equipment at that time, and now what can be seen is that there are countless kinds of hot and cold weapons in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Only the weapons of the Sui and Tang dynasties have been handed down very little, and some people even wonder if there is such a weapon as the Mo knife.

According to Meng Zitao's understanding, the Mo knife must exist, and the reason why it has not been handed down is because the Mo knife was not allowed to be buried in the Tang Dynasty, and Meng Zitao guessed that the Mo knife was made of exquisite materials, and the ancients saw such a large piece of iron, since it could not be used, it was a pity not to melt.

Of course, the reasons are varied, and you can't guess the truth just by guessing, but the Modao has not been handed down, which has to be said to be a pity.

Now, on this volume of silk books, there is a detailed introduction to the Mo knife, and not only the production method, but even the Mo knife battle array has been introduced, which can not only solve the mystery of the shape of the Mo knife, but also has a great help to the study of weapons and battle arrays in the Tang Dynasty, which made Meng Zitao very surprised.

Regarding the shape of the Mo knife, there is no consensus in modern times, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and Meng Zitao used to be very curious about what the Mo knife looked like, but even in his master's collection, there are only some vague records, and now he can finally get his wish.

Specifically, the shape of the Mo knife resembles a long knife in an ancient painting, and this ancient painting is the "Exemption Picture".

The volume of "Exemption Diagram" is the scene where Guo Ziyi led dozens of horsemen (bare hands without armor) to see the Hui leader Chieftain, and the chief dismounted to meet the chief, among whom there was a general holding a long knife in his hand.

The painting was painted in the Song Dynasty, and the weapons and armor in the picture are all in the shape of the Song Dynasty, but this long knife can be determined to be a real combat weapon, and some scholars believe that this knife should be a Mo knife or a long knife developed from it. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, but there are only slight differences between the two, and overall there is not much change.

In addition, through the understanding of the follow-up battle array, Meng Zitao also guessed about the loss of the Mo knife, specifically, it should be related to the role of heavy infantry in the war is getting smaller and smaller, the cavalry is flexible in the face of infantry, no matter how strong the infantry is, it can't catch up with the cavalry, only relying on the commander's own quality, such as using the terrain formation conversion, etc., even so it is still impossible to reverse the overall disadvantage of the infantry.

In addition, later, a series of equipment such as stirrups to change the cavalry appeared on the stage, and the disadvantage of the infantry was even greater.

As for why there is no Mo knife handed down, it is not known from the content of this silk book.

The discovery of this silk book, Meng Zitao already felt that the trip was worthwhile, with the above records, the Mo knife can be restored, and the Mo knife that only hears its voice and does not see its object can reappear in front of everyone.

Due to the appearance of silk books, Mencius Tao also had some expectations for the remaining utensils. It's just that at the end, he didn't find anything that could attract attention, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Meng Zitao put back the porcelain in his hand and asked, "How many things did they move just now?"

"At least three-quarters. Gu Cuiping said angrily: "The fifth master has always been good to them, but now that something happens, they will turn their faces and be ruthless, and dogs still know how to repay their kindness, they are not even as good as dogs!"

Qi Lezi glanced at her, and said in his heart, this woman is not a good bird, otherwise she would not be a junior.

Gu Cuiping scolded angrily, and then asked, "By the way, do you know what happened to the fifth master?"

"Didn't the third master tell you?" Qi Lezi was a little strange.

"No, he told me that the fifth master had an accident, was he arrested by the police?" asked Gu Cuiping with some apprehension.

"He wasn't caught by the police. ”

Qi Lezi saw her breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "It's just that if he was caught by the police, he might not have died, but now, he has been killed by the monk." ”

"What!Fifth Master is dead?!" Gu Cuiping shouted loudly.

Qi Lezi sneered: "If the fifth master hadn't died, do you think the third master would behave like this?"

Gu Cuiping's face was blue and white, and his mouth kept cursing in a whisper, when Meng Zitao heard it, he was clearly saying: "Bastard, you won't die sooner, you won't die later, but you are dead at this time, even if you call me before you die!"

Speaking of this, Gu Cuiping suddenly changed his expression, and said with a cry: "He is dead, only our mother and daughter are left, what can we do in the future! And you officials, when people die, they know that they come to rob my family's things, and they can't live this day!"

Qi Lezi scolded: "Phew! How did Pan Lao Wu's money come from, and how did these things come from, can you not know? If you want me to say, you are also a brother and should be arrested!"

"You...... You ......"

"What are you, don't think I don't know, Pan Lao Wu still has something hidden somewhere else, tell me where the thing is, otherwise let you taste my awesomeness!"

Qi Lezi's hideous face and ill-intentioned eyes scared the woman enough: "I'll take it, I'll get it right away." ”

Gu Cuiping turned around and went into the back room, Meng Zitao looked at Qi Lezi and said with a smile: "Okay, the business is quite skilled." ”

Qi Lezi rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face: "I'll just scare her with my ugly face, if I really let me do it, I won't dare." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, as the old saying goes, listen to his words and watch his deeds, what kind of person Qi Lezi is, he can always investigate clearly.

"Bang!"

At this time, the sound of metal striking came from the back room, Qi Lezi was a little strange, and then his face changed, and he shouted: "Not good! This house has a secret passage, she won't run through the secret passage." ”

Meng Zitao didn't think about this stubble before, but now he was reminded, and hurriedly ran into the back room, but saw a metal door on the left wall, next to it is a vertical wardrobe, and there are pulleys under the wardrobe.

"Ma's Bazi, why didn't I think of it just now!" Qi Lezi had a feeling that he was being teased, and he felt shameless and angry, so he wanted to go over and push the door.

"Don't move!"

"What?"

Meng Zitao suddenly opened his mouth to remind, but at this time, Qi Lezi's hand was already leaning on the doorknob, and suddenly, the whole person trembled.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao hurriedly stepped forward and kicked Qi Lezi out, of course, this is also Meng Zitao's confidence in his own strength, otherwise the best way at this time is to turn off the power, or find something insulating to push Qi Lezi away.

Qi Lezi was a little stunned, and after a while, he got up from the ground and looked at the metal door with palpitations: "Ma's Bazi, there is still electricity on the door, if it weren't for Meng Shao, my life would have been explained here." By the way, Meng Shao, how did you see that there was electricity on this door?"

Of course, Meng Zitao couldn't say that he was intuition, so he pointed to a cockroach by the door and said, "I just saw this cockroach being electrocuted." ”

"Uh......" Qi Lezi looked there, there was indeed a dead cockroach there, could it really be electrocuted?

Meng Zitao opened Qi Lezi and said, "You go to find the power switch in the house." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. ”

When Qi Lezi ran out, Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and looked at it, why didn't his colleagues call him yet, could it be that they were run away by the third master?

It was also a coincidence that when Meng Zitao thought so, Sanyan's colleague called, saying that all the people had been caught, and none of the things in the car had been destroyed.

Meng Zitao asked them to send someone over to bring the rest of the things back, while he himself looked into the room to see if there was anything else hidden.

For others, it is more difficult to find, but Meng Zitao has the ability, it is much easier to find, and soon, he found a safe less than a meter to the right of the door to the inside, and the safe still hides a very precious treasure.

Meng Zitao took out the knife he was carrying, and was about to pry open the tiles on the ground, but the light suddenly went out, and he couldn't help but scold, this Qi leper, don't pull the gate sooner, don't pull the gate late, but pull it at this time.

He had to take out another bright flashlight and shine it on the ground, and scratch the gap between the tiles with a knife.

"Meng Shao, what are you doing?" Qi Lezi walked in and saw Meng Zitao's movements very strangely.

Meng Zitao said angrily: "I still want to ask you, why does it take so long to pull the brake?"

Qi Lezi said angrily: "You don't know, that mother-in-law doesn't even want a child, I heard the child crying, so I went over to take a look, and delayed for some time." ”
