Chapter 210: The Camp of the Strange Knife
At this moment, listening to the thunderous applause on both sides of the street, the pride in his heart rose to the extreme.
But at the moment, he is still a long way from the viewing platform. There are also several phalanxes ahead, waiting to be reviewed. The bright light shone down, causing fine beads of sweat to ooze from his forehead.
The body hidden under the silver-white armor also became more and more stuffy. Although, in terms of breathability, their armor was the best among the three major corps. In addition to the chest, elbow joints and other parts, cover with iron sheets. The rest of the parts are open modified versions of chain mail.
At the time of the Crusaders, almost all the knights wore chain mail. The tiny iron rings are interlocked, forming a long robe with a hood. When you go to battle, just cover it over your close-fitting clothing.
In terms of weight, it is about 13 kilograms. The weight of the clothes is also borne by the shoulders. In the face of attacks with sharp weapons such as swords and guns, effective protection can be carried out.
However, the Welsh longbow and the Central Plains repeater can easily penetrate chain mail.
During manufacturing, the iron rings must be welded by hand. So relatively speaking, it is more troublesome. And the smaller the iron ring, the higher the protection. But the difficulty has also risen.
In order to better ensure the manufacturing period of military supplies, the Governor's Office deliberately asked the Governor's Department to focus on military quartermasters. For a long time, the Superintendent was unable to spare energy to deal with civil affairs. Even the pumping truck manufactured by Li Chengji was shelved due to the scarcity of craftsmen.
Therefore, the stuffiness that Gu Yimat felt was not entirely caused by the high temperature.
"Knock knock knock...", a heart, fluttering and pounding. It was the first time since he was born so nervous. Even if he was retaliated against by his master's family for participating in the uprising before, he was never so nervous.
"! Am I still a gentleman?! Gu Yimai tightened the horsewhip in his hand and scolded secretly. This scolding was learned by some veterans after he joined the army. And those veterans, I heard that they came from the Great Diwan of the Ministry of War.
As for the great Diwan of the military department, it seems that he has learned the most benevolent governor. The first time he heard the news, he was a little incredulous. Because in his eyes, the governor always looks white and pure.
It seems that he is a rich boy with a lot of culture. It's hard to believe that this kind of vulgar language came from his mouth.
But no matter where the source is, this curse did spread in the barracks. He as a recruit. I also unconsciously look up to those veterans. followed, and also habitually scolded this sentence that was simply a national curse in later generations.
Maybe it's the breath in my heart! After scolding to himself, the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
Looking at the eyes of the surrounding people, I don't feel so thorny in my back.
But he still had his thoughts! Because it's a review. Thousands of sword dao eyes will be focused on these armor-clad soldiers. At this moment, they represented the cathars, the Doge's Palace.
If there is negligence, it will be ruined by the cathars. The majesty of the Governor's Palace will also be greatly damaged. The execution may not be enough, but this armor is very likely to be returned to the barracks.
The taxes reduced by the family were also taken back by the governor's palace.
He was unwilling to accept this result in any case. He looked straight ahead, counted his steps, and tightened his face. so that the people may look at it and have a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
And just like that, time passed little by little. It's both a little short and a little long! Different people, different feelings.
The camp where Gu Yimaiti is located is also constantly getting closer to the viewing platform. As the bronze-armored camp passed past the viewing platform, their mounts gradually picked up.
It was the Firmament Mo Sword Battalion, which was different from the battalions of the Eagle, Chiyan and other corps, and their number was three thousand. All dressed in bronze heavy armor! Except for the face, palms, and soles of the feet, the rest of the place was covered in thick armor.
Knees, elbows and other parts are key protection parts.
Worn on the body, it is airtight and stuffy. When Guyimat trained, he was fortunate to be with them. As a result, at the beginning, people kept falling unconscious because of the heat.
But even so, the instructors did not relax in training. Comatose soldiers, after recovering from their recovery, will be retrained. Fainted again, trained again. This cycle repeatedly, causing the soldiers of the Sky Mo Knife Battalion to withstand the heat better than ordinary people.
Exposed to the sun at this time, the heavy armor emitted an indescribable sense of slaughter. The originally noisy street market was unconsciously silent.
Coupled with the sharp Tang Mo knife, the momentum is unmatched for a while. Gu Yimat licked his lips, and he felt that his body was not so hot.
Zhang Timing, who was sitting on the viewing platform, was a little unconvinced that Li Chengji could recreate the long-lost Mo knife. So when he saw the Modao Battalion passing by the viewing platform, he subconsciously stretched out his neck and looked carefully.
When he saw the thick and narrow Mo knife, he faintly felt that this was similar to the appearance recorded in the history books.
In the end, the glory of Datang is too prosperous! Even though the current Tang Dynasty has been extinct for hundreds of years, it still leaves an indelible impression in the hearts of the Han people. The Modao, which has made great achievements, has also spread all over the world with the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though Zhang Timing was a Han man living under foreign rule, he also turned his back on traditional Confucianism in terms of faith. But from his parents, he still knows the prestige of Datang. Especially the place where they moved west, which was once one of the territories of the Tang Dynasty.
But to conclude that this is a Mo knife, he still feels a little arbitrary. Even if this was admitted by Li Chengji himself, he couldn't believe it. Because as we all know, the manufacturing technology of Mo knife originated from Datang. And the Tang Dynasty originated from the Han people. The craftsman who can make it is naturally a Chinese craftsman.
Now they are in the Western Regions, and there are not many Han people. When it comes to Han craftsmen, there are even fewer of them. Especially in this riverine region, they have been converted to Islam for a long time. And the fields and pastures were also divided.
If the Han people want to gain a foothold here, there is little other way than to do business.
And if the manufacturing skills of the Mo knife can be restored, the Central Plains region is the most likely place. At that time, the national prestige of Da Liao was so strong, and there were many Han people under its rule. The words of craftsmen are even more in the tens of thousands. But in the end, he failed to create the famous Mo knife.
The Great Song Dynasty, a large Han country that inherited the mantle of the Tang Dynasty, also failed to restore the manufacturing skills of Mo Dao.
Now that it has been lost for hundreds of years, in the eyes of the Central Plains, it has long been considered impossible. But in this remote place in the Western Regions, Li Chengji was forced to create it.
Almost no one can believe it.
