Chapter 59: Minor Improvements

After the three retainers of the former Tian Li family led the army back to Inuyama Castle, Wasuka Masakatsu quickly walked to the clan and said, "My lord, my subordinates are late, so my lord is frightened, and I am willing to be punished." ”

Although Wasuka Masakatsu said this, he was not worried that the lord would really blame himself, after all, if he really said it, these three cities were captured by the ninja army under his command.

Sure enough, it was the same as he thought, and he saw that the clan said with a pleasant face: "Zhengsheng, you did a good job this time, if there was no ninja army, these three cities would not be captured so easily, you go down to rest, and tomorrow we will talk about rewards." ”

"Thank you, lord, my subordinates will retire." After the three retainers arranged their defenses, they went down to rest.

The clan also found a samurai mansion, but he didn't rest, but sat there blankly, thinking about his thoughts, although this time the Inuyama Castle raiders were victorious, but the clan was not happy at all. This operation exposed two very serious problems, one of which was that he really didn't expect that the quality of the iron cannon was too poor now, and in just one day of fighting, nearly half of the iron cannon was damaged, and most of them were blown up, which caused Ashigaru to be injured in the eye and permanently lost his combat ability. However, he didn't have anything to do about it, and he had to try to avoid such high-intensity shots in the future.

There is also a problem that he ignores that once Ashigaru dismounts, he not only has to carry iron cannons and ammunition, but also holds a heavy childish sword, which seriously affects Ashigaru's performance, and he must reduce the weight of the flag, but how to reduce it without reducing his combat power?

After struggling with this problem for a long time, the clan suddenly began to think clearly, yes, you can use military thorns instead of heavy swords, so that not only is the weight of the foot light lighter a lot lighter, but also whether it is an assault or a horse, the combat power will not be reduced in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Shi Zong immediately turned out the pen and paper and began to draw. After scribbling on the paper for a while, he finally drew a figure of a military spur that satisfied him, and the shape of this military spur was similar to the bayonet on the 38 large lids used by the Japanese army in World War II.

The clan really wanted to draw a three-edged military thorn, but with the current level of craftsmanship, even if he drew it himself, he couldn't do it. So I had to settle for the next best. As soon as he put down his pen, he immediately called for someone to go to the castle town of Inuyama Castle to find a few blacksmiths.

After a while, three trembling blacksmiths appeared in front of them, and when they saw the samurai, they quickly fell to their knees, fearing that they would be rude again, and their heads would be lost.

In the battle that took place in Inuyama Castle just now, although these people were hiding at home and did not see it with their own eyes, the roar of the iron cannon made them sleep all night. They know that those iron cannons are all under the command of the lord in front of them, how can a warrior who can have so many iron cannons at once be a general, and they don't know what this lord has called him into, and they can't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.

I saw that one of them was a little older, and said with a weak heart: "Big... Adult, I don't know what the adults have to tell the villains to come? ”

The clan felt very funny that the three of them were so afraid of themselves, did they have such a hateful face. The clan brought the three of them here to let them help, so they didn't put on a high posture, but said very kindly: "The three craftsmen, please get up quickly, just sit down and talk." ”

After hearing this, the three of them were even more frightened, if their shop was a big store like Matsunoya, they would just sit down, but they were just a workshop only ten meters large, and they didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with the samurai if they were killed.

"Big... Adult, even if you have something to order, as long as the villain can do it, he will never shirk. Another middle-aged blacksmith wearing a coarse cloth coat with a sweat towel on his head said.

Seeing this, the clan sect was no longer polite to them, only to hear him smile and say: "Three, I have something here that needs the help of three of you to build, I don't know how many days it will take to build?" After speaking, the clan took the bayonet drawing he had just drawn carefully from the table and handed it to the three of them.

After the three blacksmiths respectfully took the drawings, they hurriedly moved together to look at it, only to see that the paper was painted with just a knife, the blade was thin and straight, not like a knife but more like a ninja knife, but the handle of the knife was too small, and how could there be a protruding bar on it? The three of them felt a little puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask, and they couldn't help frowning. ,

Seeing that they seemed to have questions, the clan said directly: "You three don't have to be afraid, if you have anything to ask, just ask, you can't make things bad when the time comes." ”

The older blacksmith hurriedly spoke, "My lord, I don't know what the horizontal passage is up here?" As he spoke, he took the drawing and pointed to it.

The clan came forward to take a look, what kind of horizontal road is this, it's clearly a ring, but his painting level is limited, and he can't draw it. After solving the problem of the ring, another blacksmith asked, "My lord, what is the size of this knife?" ”

The clan thought about it, when the cavalry assaulted, the speed was too fast, if it was too long, it would be easy to break, and if it was too short, it would obviously not be powerful enough. So it can only be moderate, he didn't know much about the ratio of feet and inches, so he didn't say it directly, but gestured with his hand and said, "The blade is about this long." ”

One of them asked, "My lord, this length is about one foot and two inches, and the villain will be built according to one foot and two inches, I wonder how long the handle of the knife needs to be?" ”

This time, the clan stretched out his hand and gestured.

"According to the meaning of the adult, the villain with the handle of this knife is set at about two inches and five minutes. However, ......" The blacksmith hesitated for a moment and then said, "My lord, is this handle too short, if it is made according to this, but it cannot be held with both hands, please think twice." ”

The clan shook his head and said: "No need to change it, the blade is one foot and two inches long, the handle is two inches and four minutes long, and there is a ring on the handle, just build it like this." ”

"Yes, yes, if the adults have no other instructions, then the villain will go down to build it, and he can present this knife to the adults in two days."

"Wait, I have other things to command." Seeing that the three of them were leaving, the clan immediately said. "Someone!"

"Yes, my lord." Ashigaru, who was standing guard outside the samurai's mansion, hurriedly walked in when he saw the lord summoning him.

The clan took the iron cannon off his shoulder, then handed it to the blacksmith and said, "You have to find a way to install the bayonet that you just made on this iron cannon, and it must be strong, understand?" ”

After all, this is a new thing, three blacksmiths, you look at me, I look at you, and no one understands what the adults mean.

The clan was helpless, pulled out the ribs from his waist, and said while gesturing at the muzzle of the gun: "Look, fix the bayonet on it like this, as for how to fix it, you have to figure out a way." I'm going to give you three days, and I'm going to see the finished product in three days, and all right, you can step back. With that, he handed the cannon in his hand into the hands of one of them.
