Chapter 154: The Problem of Weapons
Last time, it was mentioned that Liang Xu and Liu Bei discussed Liu Bei's exclusive weapon, and suggested that Liu Bei use the narrowed Qin sword as a double-strand sword.
Liu Bei nodded and said, "You can try." ”
Liu Bei's weapon was temporarily settled, and then Guan Yu's Daguan Knife was followed.
Guan Yu saw Liang Xu looking at him, so he spoke first: "Guan doesn't use a sword. ”
Liang Xu asked, "What is that for?" ”
"Use a spear at once, a knife at all, a ring knife." Guan Yu deliberately added, he knew from the conversation between Liang Xu and Liu Bei just now, that Liang Xu didn't know anything about weapons.
The current standard equipment of the army is the ring-headed knife for infantry and the spear for cavalry. And there is one thing that many of the Three Kingdoms have been mistaken, that is, the cavalry's high bridge saddle and stirrup have been widely used in the Western Han Dynasty, but there is no physical unearthing for the time being, and the materials used for manufacturing should be mainly wood, which has long been dusted after thousands of years.
However, with reference to the development of Western arms, it can be inferred that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, China's cavalry had already taken shape. The development of cavalry in the West began with the invasion of the Xiongnu, who were driven out by Emperor Wu of Han, who swept across Europe with Takahashi saddles and stirrups. Let the Europeans see the strength of the Takahashi saddle and stirrups. So the knights of Europe developed, eventually replacing the infantry and becoming the main force on the battlefield.
In our country, cavalry was used on a large scale during the Han Wu period, but it is not clear whether the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrup were invented by the Han nation or the Xiongnu. Anyway, the Han nation should not have these two things in the Qin period, which can be seen from the Qin Terracotta Army. But Han Gaozu Liu Bang was besieged by Baideng, and the Xiongnu surrounded the Han army for seven days and seven nights, if the Xiongnu was not a mature Han army, the Han infantry army in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, let alone seven days, is estimated to be broken through in half a day.
"Don't you use a knife on a horse?" Liang Xu felt that it was incredible that Guan Yu didn't use a knife.
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "The knife is too short. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to lengthen it?" Liang Xu said, "It is necessary to widen and thicken, so that the strength can be great." ”
When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes lit up. His family's family tradition is the knife technique, dismounting the ring head knife, riding the chopping knife (the chopping knife is like an elongated version of the ring head knife, the blade is slightly lengthened, and the handle is replaced with a knife shaft), and the horse is directly stabbed with a spear. The Han army mainly used spears on foot and horse. Guan Yu felt that the spear was too light, and there were also heavy spears, and the spear shaft was also metal, but Guan Yu couldn't afford it, so he liked the heavier horse chopping knife. However, in fact, the final horse chopping knife was still a little light for Guan Yu, a strong man, so after listening to Liang Xu's words, he felt that this plan could be tried, and he was very excited, but he still had no money.
So Guan Yu's eyes only lit up for a moment, and then they narrowed again.
Liang Xu thought that Guan Yu felt that his plan was not feasible, so he asked, "Brother Yunchang, do you think this is not good?" ”
Guan Yu felt that Liang Xu was a little annoying, which made him very embarrassed, did he want to say that he had no money?
Liu Bei lightly touched Liang Xu with his elbow on the side, motioned for Liang Xu to lean towards him, and then whispered to Liang Xu's ear: "Weapons are not straw sandals, and not everyone can afford them." ”
Liang Xu was speechless, because of this reason! So he said in a big way: "Brother Yunchang, you just say that this is not feasible, and I will pay the money!" ”
The child of the loser is rich! But how can Guan Yu accept it? His pride was so hurt that he wanted to say no.
Liang Xu saw Guan Yu open his mouth and knew what he wanted to do, so he hurriedly stretched out a hand, thought he was very angry, and motioned to Guan Yu not to say it. It's just that others are too small, and the atmosphere is not there, but it is full of funny.
Liang Xu said very seriously: "This time we are fighting more with less, with one against five, if we want to win, we must fully arm ourselves." So Brother Yun Chang didn't need to say anything, just told me whether this plan was feasible or not. ”

When Guan Yu heard the one-to-five, his momentum was obviously stagnant, and he became a little depressed from his previous calmness. He himself is sure that it will be okay to have a one-to-five, but he has no confidence in the others, especially Liang Xu, who has to find another person to protect this little doll. But it is not possible to say that you don't take this doll to the battlefield, because this doll can do divination.
Guan Yu's confidence was hit, so his tone became a little weak, and he said, "You have to try it to know." ”
Liang Xu was not affected by Guan Yu's low morale, he still looked impassioned, and said: "Then it's decided, let's try it first." Brother Yun Chang, how many knives do you want? ”
Guan Yu looked Liang Xu's body up and down, thought about it, and said, "Thirty-five or six catties." (This story does not use the ancient weight unit, directly applies the current fashion, too lazy to convert)"
Liang Xu's current weight is thirty-six pounds, and he doesn't know if Guan Yu used his weight to estimate just now. Because he used to ask Guan Yu to lift him up with one hand, Guan Yu carried him, it was not difficult at all, and he could still shake up and down, others looked like a dragon dance, Liang Xu felt like a roller coaster, which was very exciting.
It's just that Liang Xu is not satisfied with the answer of thirty-five or six catties, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is eighty catties or sixty catties, why is there only forty catties left now?
Liang Xu instigated Guan Yu and said, "Brother Yunchang, why don't you try eighty catties?" ”
When Guan Yu heard this, his face turned green, but his complexion was dark, and others couldn't see it. Guan Yu refused repeatedly: "Eighty catties is too heavy, the war is not finished with one or two knives, how many times can you dance with eighty catties?" Brother Xu, don't joke with Guan. ”
Liang Xu felt that what Guan Yu said was also reasonable, and blamed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (it is a trick here, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" used ancient catties, and one catty at that time was less than one-third of what it is now).
"Then let's try a thirty-six pound first." After formulating the weapon for Guan Yu, Liang Xu turned his head to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei waved his hand at Liang Xu again and again, and said, "Don't look at me, I have my own weapons, so I don't need Brother Xu to worry about me." ”
Although Zhang Fei had already blocked Liang Xu's mouth first, Liang Xu was still obsessed, and he must break the casserole and ask to the end: "Brother Yide, do you use a spear in addition to a knife?" ”
"Of course there is, it's such a long ......" As he spoke, Zhang Fei stood up, opened his two hands and gestured, and then found that his hands were not long enough, so he pulled Guan Yu up, ignoring Guan Yu's bewildered expression, and said to everyone: "It's longer than Yun Chang." ”
"Is it heavy?" Liang Xu asked an inconsequential question.
