Chapter 171: Piercing the Gun and Sabre

Tidying up the team, this was the first step, and when the exhausted leaders returned to the hall, it was already ten minutes old, and the hall had already set up food.

Now Woniu Mountain is different from the past, although there is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the food is already full, the third uncle and Zhao Dahai, the drunkard, can still drink a little wine, but the others are exempt, Lu Shi stipulates that no one is allowed to drink alcohol without major festivals and major victories.

The meal ended quickly in a gobbling up, and then everyone continued to sit around and discuss things.

Lu Shi was the first to call over the captain of the engineer team, Zhao Blacksmith, who was tall and strong, and his appearance was very powerful, but there was no expression on his face that matched his body, it was the kind of humility formed by being oppressed for a long time, and it was the kind of fear and self-inferiority that emanated from his bones.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, I don't know if the brothers in your craftsman camp can still build weapons." ”

"So that the military advisor knows." Blacksmith Zhao replied respectfully: "Although we craftsmen have been forced by the eunuchs and corrupt officials to only have a rotten life, but this iron-striking craft will never dare to be discarded. He was talking about the blacksmith and nothing else.

"Okay, I'll hand over the iron and iron materials collected from the whole cottage to Leader Zhao, and I hope that Leader Zhao will take your brother to build three thousand such spearheads in a month. In a while, I will also ask the big boss to allocate enough food for you to ensure that everyone is full, so that you have the strength to build better and better weapons,"

When the blacksmith Zhao heard that he was going to make iron by himself, he immediately came to the spirit, but it was a little difficult to hear that he was going to build 3,000 spear heads in January. "It's a little tighter for a month, and it is very troublesome to build a stove, cut wood and burn charcoal in the mountains, and then to forge a large and small hammer to produce a good gun head." After thinking about it, he secretly glanced at the faces of the military advisor and the big boss, gritted his teeth, and said, "But maybe it's okay to be tight." ”

After getting the promise of Blacksmith Zhao, Lu Shihua took out a pattern of piercing a gun, (in fact, it was the three-edged thorn of later generations) and explained its basic building requirements to Blacksmith Zhao. The usefulness of the blood trough and the aspects that must be paid attention to are emphasized.

The Mitsubishi Thorn is a big killing weapon that is easy to make and easy to use, and it is almost impossible to deliberately maintain, especially compared to other weapons, it is also particularly economical in iron materials. But because of his special structure makes it easy to pierce in, pull out also save effort, so that the user saves a lot of physical strength, and the person who is pierced will fall to the ground at the moment of being pierced, the wound is irregular shape and not easy to bandage and suture, under normal circumstances, the person who is killed will bleed to death in just a few minutes, with the current Ming Dynasty's war method and almost zero battlefield rescue ability, it is too late to bandage. It can effectively kill the enemy's living force.

"Strategist, this is not difficult to do, except for this bloodletting blood trough, which takes some effort, nothing else." Blacksmith Zhao pondered for a while.

"We must build 3,000 guns within a month, this is a matter of life and death for us to go south, and I will find a way to transfer it to you if we don't have enough manpower."

Blacksmith Zhao carefully calculated for a moment, raised his head and said, "I will definitely complete the military division's explanation." ”

Putting down this topic, Lu Shi turned to Cao Meng and said, "Brother Cao Meng, I hope you can mobilize the old man of the cottage and immediately prepare three thousand gun barrels, as well as red tassels tied with hemp rope or cloth strips for backup." ”

"This is no problem, now the mountains are full of oak wood, and it is most suitable to make a gun, and it will not be ready in a few days."

Guo Tianxing interjected at this time: "The military advisor's method is good, a red tassel, and the bells and whistles look mighty and lifting, but there is still no big sword to kill the enemy in battle, hehehe." ”

Lu Shina, the big boss, really had no choice, so he had to explain in detail the reasons why all the iron tools in the cottage were made into guns.

Although a lot of fine iron has been seized from the cottage, it is still slightly insufficient for the weapons of a team of more than 3,000 people, not to mention that iron is also needed in other places, but building a large knife can make three or four spear heads, which is conducive to saving. The second is that the spear is simple and easy to practice, and it is not possible to practice a knife well for two to three years, but the gun is different, as long as you can stab the gun out.

In addition, dancing the knife is a strength work, and the less powerful ones will lose their strength if they don't dance two or three times on the battlefield, so they can only wait for the knife, and the gun is much more labor-saving, and a soldier with a little training can stab ten or twenty times on the battlefield and be at ease.

The third is that the lethality of a gun is better than a knife, and the old saying is that ten arrows are not as good as a knife, and ten knives are not as good as a gun. It is also said that an inch long and an inch strong, the big knife needs hand-to-hand combat, and the spear does not want the enemy to approach at all, and the enemy will be killed from a distance, which shows the great advantage of the power and lethality of the spear.

"The military advisor is reasonable, on the battlefield, I often see people with more than a dozen arrows stuck in their bodies still shouting and fighting without falling, as long as they don't cut off their heads, they can still support, and those who are stabbed with a shot, as long as they are pierced between the chest and abdomen, they will definitely die," Zhao Dahai and Geng Kui are both people who have fought with old noses, and they understand this simple truth at all, but they haven't thought about it themselves, Guo Tianxing suddenly said at this time: "Yes, even a fighter like us didn't expect it, but a scholar like the military advisor thought of it, It's really a scholar who knows the world without going out, it's amazing, I have convinced the new king of Tianxing. ”

"Again, we must equip each spear with a red tassel new king."

"Why is that?" Everyone's faces showed a puzzled look, and the new king broke in.

"The red tassel is not tied for good looks, it is mainly for the blood-sucking new king."

"What, for bloodsucking?"

"Yes, when too many people are pierced with a gun, the enemy's blood will flow down the barrel of the gun and onto the hand of the person holding the gun, so that the hand holding the gun will be slippery and unable to hold the barrel of the gun, which will affect the strength of the next assassination. Therefore, it must be installed with red tassels, even if it is a strip of cloth, it will become a new king. ”

Guo Tianxing and the others are completely convinced, and the military advisor can even think of such details, so what else can the military advisor not think of and do? With such a military advisor, we just need to do what the military advisor tells us, and listen to the new king of the military advisor.

But Zhao Dahai frowned and said: "Although it is good to pierce the gun, it is not suitable for my cavalry, and the cavalry is still easy to use with a big sword." ”

Lu Shi smiled, and once again took out a drawing drawn from his arms and said to Zhao Blacksmith who was standing beside him: "I still have one thing here, which is specially prepared for Brother Zhao's cavalry, Zhao (Zhao Blacksmith) leader, please see the new king." ”

The drawing is a scimitar, the blade is three fingers wide, the back of the knife is one finger thick, the entire length of the blade is required to be four feet (and now it is about one meter three) The blade is slightly curved until it finally becomes a knife tip, the whole saber looks delicate and dynamic, and it is a good knife at a glance.

This is actually the famous Xuefeng knife in later generations, this knife is sharp and lightweight, saves strength, and is conducive to fighting the new king for a long time. The arc of the blade is more conducive to relying on the speed of the horse, which is not only labor-saving but also can kill the enemy with one sword. Blacksmith Zhao is a knowledgeable person, first praised this knife, and the discerning person saw that it was a new type of knife that was different, and it could be said that it created a new era of Taoism. But with the insider's eye, it is also pointed out that this knife has greater requirements for the material, the knife is narrow and thin and long, so it must be made of good steel, otherwise it is easy to break the new king. But at present, the cottage has obtained good iron from rice fat and Zhangjiabao, but there is no good steel, so it can only become a new king with the time-consuming and laborious method of forging and forging.

"The military advisor's opinion is right, but the iron material is enough to make a spear, but it is not as good as fighting such a knife, and it is necessary to forge it in every possible way, and it is absolutely impossible to forge hundreds of good knives in such a short time, and please forgive the new king." Blacksmith Zhao was embarrassed to tell the truth, and the new king was broken.

"It's a real problem, the new king." The saber in their minds must be made of good steel, and the current method can only be achieved by stacking forging method, and a good blacksmith with a lower hand will also have to be forged for a day to make a hand, which is indeed time-consuming and laborious, but what can be done? Calculated in the current time, even if all the people who build the spear become the sber maker, it is impossible to hit hundreds of sabre new kings in such a short period of time. And the creation of the gun must not be stopped, this is indeed a new king of contradictions.

Lu Shi and Zhao Blacksmith both frowned and did not speak.

"Leader Zhao, how many people do you need to make a good knife?" At this time, Chunlan asked the new king behind Lu Shi.

Blacksmith Zhao hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "It takes two people to strike iron, one to master the heat and take the red iron to correct the position, and use a small hammer to correct it, this must be the master, and the other is an apprentice, use a sledgehammer to forge the new king." The main thing is that it takes too much effort to take a sledgehammer and can't dry it for a long time, and after the knife is shaped, it is finally necessary to polish the blade, which is still a fatal kung fu new king. Therefore, it is not easy for a pair of masters and apprentices to create a qualified good knife in a day, not to mention polishing and bundling the handle, making scabbards and other more kung fu new kings. ”

"Oh, that's right, since that's the case, then the requirements for sledgehammers are not very high?"

"There are requirements, but they are really not very high, and ordinary people can learn the new king as long as they have half a day. The main thing is to have the strength to break into the new king. Blacksmith Zhao replied honestly, King Xinchuang.

"That's going to be easy, the new king." Chunlan clapped her hands and said proudly: "Since the sledgehammer requires mainly the strength of the handle, who has the most people in our cottage now?" Of course, there are the most people who have just joined the gang, and now they have nothing to do, why don't we arrange a group of such people, who want to have the strength to be eliminated by age, three or five people to serve a master, and stop people and hammer it?

"Ah, the new king." Blacksmith Zhao was afraid of the new king on his thighs. "It's still Captain Chunlan who wakes up the person in his dream, and lets a master only be responsible for watching the fire and mastering the placement of the new king. And several young men take turns to be responsible for sledgehammer forging, one has no strength and then changes to the other, and the effect will increase several times. ”

"Also, can you also let other people in the cottage do the work of adding hand guards and sharpening the blade, so that you can quickly hit the amount that Brother Shi wants?" Chunlan went on to say that the new king was born.

"I didn't see it, our Chunlan captain still has the potential for enterprise management, this is the prototype of the assembly line operation method, the new king. Okay, immediately follow the method of Captain Chunlan" Lu Shi praised Chunlan's new king with great joy.

Chunlan was not interested in Lu Shi's new term of enterprise management and assembly line prototype, but was very happy with his praise, is there any better reward than Shige's praise?
