What kind of weapon the independent regiment is engaged in, Li Mu has been thinking about it these days. Although his idea of "Berserker Legion" was pointed out by Li Daliang with various shortcomings and shortcomings. But that's what people do, once they have a thought, they will never forget it.

If you don't forget, there will be an echo. Before Li Mu went to bed these days, he would close his eyes and look around in the vast drawings of the system. Of course, he understands that according to Li Daliang, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the weapon that should be chosen the most should be the horse lance. The horse lance is divided into two parts, the lance blade and the lance shaft, and the lance blade is half a meter long, which is far longer than ordinary guns and spear weapons. And because of its unique armor-piercing ridge structure, taking into account the 'armor-piercing' attribute, the master uses it, and finds the right opportunity to go down, often stabbing people and horses together.

But the lance is not without its drawbacks. The production process of horse lance is complex, the rod is usually made of Zhe wood, and the top wood is the best of mulberry wood, and the quantity is scarce. A good horse lance is a fine pole soaked in oil and dried, bonded with fish foam glue, and then transversely wound hemp rope, cut into the lance, so that the transverse force, painted lacquer, wrapped in kudzu cloth, become an integral lance.

The most important thing is the ability to bend and rebound, and the rigidity and flexibility of instantaneous reset, which are also topwood, but not every topwood can achieve this characteristic, and the failure rate is extremely high. On average, one horse lance pole is made, and the topwood wood that has been discarded due to failure is enough to make ten strong bows. Therefore, in front of the two armies, only the generals can use the horse lance. The cost of equipping a legion with a lance is not something that any country in the world can afford.

It is also for this reason that when Li Daliang talked to Li Mu about weapons, he only said the truth that one inch is long and one inch strong, but did not specify the use of horse lances. In his mind, even if he was armed with 300 people, it would be impossible to equip them with horse lances.

Li Mu also thought about this issue seriously, and he couldn't afford the money of 300 horse lances. It's just that it takes a long time to make these 300 strokes. Insufficient materials is a problem that cannot be solved in a short time.

But the most fundamental reason comes from his idea of a 'berserker legion'.

If he didn't want a 'berserker legion', he wouldn't have let Li Chongyi pick people according to his own appearance. The five hundred guards picked out are all miniature versions of Li Chongyi.

Such a configuration is actually bad. The army of this era pays attention to the strong foot soldiers and the agile cavalry. And Li Mu just got the opposite, he built a cavalry, using strong men, and lost the agility that the cavalry relied on the most.

After struggling for a few days, Li Mu still decided to follow his original intention.

Or the "Berserker Army", the role of horses is no longer to pull smartly, but to quickly deliver troops. When fighting, first use a repeater to fire a round of fire, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy army. Then ride into the enemy line on horseback and chop melons and vegetables.

To achieve this, two kinds of support are needed. The first is defense, and the cavalry that rushes into the enemy camp will definitely be shot as a hedgehog if they wear leather armor. Therefore, "plate armor" is needed, these soldiers are big men with strong physiques, and there is no need to worry about not being able to hold up, and the horses are mainly used to quickly rush into the enemy formation, and when they enter the enemy formation, they dismount to fight, and it does not cost much horsepower.

In addition to "plate armor", a weapon suitable for melee combat is needed.

Li Mu first considered the double-plate axe used by Li Chongyi, but then he denied it. Double-plate axe, ordinary people wield it without moving, although these soldiers have a lot of strength, but they also do not have the same divine power as Li Chongyi, if they swing a few times, they will have no strength, and they will be in battle, but it will be bad. The second was the horse chopping knife, but he imagined the combat environment, the sharp blade was thin and brittle, easy to split or curl the blade, and was again vetoed by him.

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Mu finally found what he was looking for.

Mace!

This is a weapon that is very suitable for reckless people, almost no moves, strength, just slash. It's very simple to build, other weapons have to be quenched several times, forged thousands of forgings, maces are not used, only need to cast a mold, and then pour iron juice to solidify, and it can be made in batches in a short time.

The mace is not afraid of weapons colliding. Any weapon, slashed into an iron lump covered in thorns, will definitely not be cheap.

Li Mu found an intermediate drawing of a mace in the system, called [Thunderbolt Fire], there is nothing peculiar in the shape, but in the spike part, the design of the bloodletting groove is introduced, and the armor is broken and bloodletted, as long as it is swept, it will either be dead or injured.

In addition, this [Thunderbolt] also has a design similar to Li Chongyi's giant axe. A single mace of one meter two, connected together with a machine bracket, becomes a two-meter four double-headed mace, rushing into the enemy formation, a 'big windmill', you can imagine what kind of scene it will be.

After several comparisons, it was finally determined that it was this [Thunderbolt]. What Li Mu wants to do today is to make a mold, and then try to make a mace to see the effect.

Li Mu's warehouse has almost all materials.

The process of making cast iron molds is called 'turning sand'. The materials needed are clay and stone sand, and the clay and stone sand are mixed in proportion to make a rectangular column, and then the inverted mold of the mace head is dug out from the middle, which is called the 'lower half'. After making the lower half of the type, it is necessary to make the 'upper half type', and the upper half is mainly the inside of the hollow mace to reduce the weight. Otherwise, the solid mace will still face the problem of not being able to wield it.

After making the upper and lower halves, and then serializing the two together, leaving the injection port, sintering and solidifying, a mold is completed.

After making the furnace, melting iron, and pouring, after completing these three steps, Li Mu went back to sleep. Early the next morning, he smashed the mold, and a mace head was ready. Trim the corners with an iron file, and then attach the alloy grip that was made last night, and the mace is complete.

Li Mu deliberately took a look at the attributes.

[Thunderbolt: Blue quality one-handed hammer (two weapons can be combined into a single double-headed mace). 】.

[Base Strength Requirement 15].

[Attack Bonus: Armor Piercing, Bleeding].

There is no stat bonus, but there is an attack bonus. Cancel each other out, and it's a little better than a normal blue quality weapon.

Li Mu handed the thunderbolt to Li Chongyi, Li Chongyi waved it and shook his head: "It's too light." ”

"Of course it's light for you to use, but it's just right for your subordinates. No matter how heavy it is, it won't move. ”

Li Chongyi thought about it and nodded, which can be regarded as recognition.

While the two were talking, Zhao Youcai ran over: "Master Hou, Grandpa Gao is here." ”

"Father-in-law Gao?" Li Mu wondered in his heart, early in the morning, what was Father-in-law Gao doing here? Is it possible and has a will?

"Have you taken the decree?"

Zhao Youcai shook his head: "I didn't see the holy decree." ”

"So what is he here for?" Li Mu instructed Li Chongyi to clean up the mold fragments scattered on the ground and come to the front yard lobby. Gao Gonggong drank tea with a teacup, and when he saw Li Mu coming, he put down the teacup and got up.

When the two of them saluted, Li Mu asked, "Doesn't Gonggong Gao have to serve His Majesty today?" ”

"It was His Majesty who ordered our family to come to the Hou Ye." After a pause, Gonggong Gao looked at Zhao Youcai next to Li Mu, Li Mu understood, waved his hand, Zhao Youcai retreated, and went back to the gatehouse.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty has one thing that you want Master Hou to do." As he spoke, Gonggong Gao whispered to Li Mu about Zheng Guanyin's matter, the cause and effect: "...... That's the thing, that's the way. His Majesty wanted the Hou Ye to follow the example of dealing with the affairs of the Emperor Taishang and invite the Zheng family out of the palace, but he could not leave Chang'an City. It's best to find something for her to do. The time limit required by His Majesty is seven days, but if Hou Ye feels embarrassed, our family can also help Hou Ye say something, and it is okay to be tolerant for three or five days. ”

"Ouch......" After Li Mu heard this, he had a headache.

Since ancient times, this internal matter of the royal family has been entangled. Especially the public case of the Xuanwumen Change, it is even more unclear. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, the two brothers, who started to kill people is now untestable. can't talk about any right or wrong, since ancient times, if it was Li Jiancheng who survived that day, the heirs of Li Shimin's branch would also not survive.

If Li Shimin is at a loss, it is nothing more than that he was born a few years late. Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, he is not. When he killed the crown prince, he didn't take justice, that's all. Then again, the eldest husband was born in the world, is it because the opponent has taken advantage of the righteousness, so he will be killed?

From this point of view, Li Mu does not think that Li Shimin is wrong.

It's just this kind of upside-down thing, Li Mu really doesn't want to get involved. Emperor Taishang's matter, if it weren't for Li Yuan's being too good to him, he would definitely not be involved in it.

After being silent for a long time, Li Mu said: "Father-in-law Gao, we are not outsiders, can you give me a word of accuracy?" If I refuse this, is it okay? ”

Gonggong Gao shook his head and said, "This matter has been bothering Your Majesty for a long time, and Your Majesty has always been helpless. Once, His Majesty even said. It's better to deal with it at the time, and it will save you from today's troubles. It can be seen from this that His Majesty's patience is running out. Hou Ye can refuse, and His Majesty can't do anything to Hou Ye. But the three mothers and daughters in Changle Gate are afraid that they are ......"

Li Mu frowned and said, "Why is this, since Your Majesty didn't have a killer at that time, he must not want to kill him." Why has this changed? ”

"This ......" Father-in-law Gao hesitated, lowered his voice even more, and said, "Originally, this matter is not easy for our family to say. But since Hou Ye is confused, since our family knows, it is a little sorry for Hou Ye not to say it. A few days ago, Wei Zheng went to Changle Gate. ”

Li Mu's mind suddenly flashed over the gold and silver utensils that had been polished off the patterns, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that part of Wei Zheng's money comes from the palace?" ”

"Hmm." Gao Gonggong nodded.

"No wonder!" Li Mu suddenly understood everything. Yesterday, when he mentioned that the gold and silver utensils came from the palace, Li Shimin's face became ugly, he was still strange at the time, but now he finally knows the answer.

Zheng's existence, for Li Shimin, is tantamount to a mirror that can shine all his ugliness. He has been troubled for many days, and now that the Zheng family is still helping Wei Zheng, how can Li Shimin endure it. He didn't hurt the killer, he was already suppressing the anger.
