In ancient wars, they would have discussed this question from time to time. For example, according to the "New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Li Guangbi" and the "Tongjian" volume 217, Li Guangbi guarded Changshan and asked the general An Siyi how to defeat Shi Siming's iron cavalry.

An Siyi replied like this: "Although Hu Qi is sharp, he can't hold it heavy. If you don't make a profit, you will be frustrated, and you can make a profit. ”

Therefore, Li Guangbi adopted his advice, and after defeating Siming with a crossbow array, he set up a gun city to escort the grain carts. The spear is long and sharp, which can stab men and horses, and has a certain effect on subduing enemy horses.

This is Li Guangbi's specific strategy to break the enemy with an army formation and a spear. It's a pity that because of the rush of the Anshi Rebellion, it was not equipped with a Mo sword, otherwise, the enemy would have lost even more!

The Mo knife is long with two blades, and it can kill several people with a single swing, and when it comes to close combat, the enemy who blocks its edge is ridden, and the men and horses are broken. Obviously, in close combat, the lethality and deterrence of the Mo knife are greater than those of the crossbow, and it can deter the enemy cavalry and stabilize the large array. And this is also the reason why in the Tang Dynasty, all the border armies set up a Mo knife team, and there were special Mo knife hands and Mo knife generals.

After talking about Modao, let's talk about Wang Xuance's understanding of Modao. His people against Modao originated from the ninth year of Zhenguan, the battle of Tang to destroy Tuyuhun.

In this battle, Li Jing, a famous general of a generation, regarded the Modao team as his killer weapon.

On the northern front, Li Jing skillfully used the Modao team, and the Tuyuhun cavalry at that time, had a hard-fought battle, and slashed and killed countless Tuyuhun cavalry in the first battle!

Since then, Wang Xuance has a deep memory of the use of the Mo knife!

In view of the flat river in the plain of the Ganga River, this is the only way to reduce casualties. Since entering these five Indias, he has learned a lot about the horse army of these five Indians; Therefore, Zhou Zeng has been secretly ordered to select among the soldiers in advance, and the warriors with outstanding arm strength will only wait for Mr. Zhang to polish the Mo knife completely, and then become an army with a little training!

At the same time, he also ordered Chen Maocai to select some soldiers with sharp hands and feet; After Mr. Li completes the production of the crossbow, train quickly!

Since the subjugation of the kingdom of Qubishana, and the kingdom of Chalk; The kings of the two countries were also moved by Wang Xuance's sincerity and benevolence. Therefore, he is also dead set on himself and Datang!

Therefore, the work of forging crossbows and Mo knives, with the strong support of the two countries, not only has complete materials, but also does not lack manpower; Therefore, this forging speed is also an abnormal speed!

On this day, I saw Wang Xuance in the military tent, talking about the customs of the Tang Dynasty with the kings of the two countries, and talking about the Tang Dynasty in detail. But when he saw a small colonel, he came in a hurry, bowed down and said: "General Qiyu, Mr. Li Zhengji and Mr. Li have arrived at the school with a neatly prepared crossbow!" ”

Hearing this report, Wang Xuance was overjoyed, so he sincerely invited the kings of the two countries to go out and have a look!

The two of them were also overjoyed when they received this invitation, so under the guidance of Wang Xuance, they left this military tent and came to the military field of this school. Knowing the news that Mr. Li had made a crossbow, all the generals and many soldiers also came to this school to see the freshness!

Mr. Li watched the three of them coming, and then with a face full of joy, he greeted him, and after seeing the etiquette, he replied: "General Qiyu, these 1,000 crossbows and 100,000 crossbow arrows have been prepared, and they will be sent to the barracks for the general to check!" ”

"Thank you, sir," Wang Xuance returned the salute casually.

In the face of this unseen intricaciousness, the kings of the two countries are also eye-opening today. Holding the crossbow in his hand, looking east, looking west, he can't figure out how to use it. At this time, their curiosity was also vividly displayed, although they knew in advance that it was similar to the function of the bow, but they still did not know what it meant!

So, under Wang Xuance's instructions, Li Zhengji also explained to the two kings with understanding: "This crossbow uses tough mountain mulberry wood as a crossbow bow, and at the same time uses solid sandalwood as a crossbow body; With hemp as the string, it is light and strong, and then the iron is the gun chamber and the steel is the machine; Therefore, the firing range can reach up to about two hundred and thirty paces; It is not only a daily thing used by my Tang army, but also a magic weapon to resist cavalry. If the two kings allow it, how about I guide the two of them to do it themselves? ”

Hearing this, the two kings also readily agreed.

So under the leadership of Mr. Lee, the two kings followed his steps, pressed the cluster of arrows into the crossbow, pulled the bowstring, and clamped it in one go; After the aim was complete, he immediately pulled the trigger below, and with a "whoosh" sound, a three-edged arrow flew straight out like this, and was fiercely nailed to the straw target one hundred and fifty steps away!

Looking at the first use, it hit with one hit, and the two kings were also full of joy! But I heard this King Lahad say: "I never expected that this aim would be so calm, much stronger than a bow." ”

At this time, I only heard Mr. Li smile again and said: "One of the advantages of the crossbow is that it is easy to shoot and easier to master than a bow and arrow!" ”

After this observation, the two kings were also overjoyed, not only full of confidence in the victory, but also convinced and admired the skills of the Tang craftsmen!

Seeing that everyone was quite curious, Wang Xuance immediately sent an order, and Chen Maocai sent these crossbows to the soldiers as soon as possible, and trained them diligently to prepare for the expedition to the country of Virajuna.

With the two kings temporarily returning to the camp, Wang Xuance immediately asked Xiao Liu to pass Zhou Zeng, and went to Mr. Li to check the forging of the Mo Knife......

Since there were human beings, there was society, then there were countries, and later there were wars between countries. In other words, it is also war that promotes the development of science and technology, and the birth of many divine weapons is precisely for the purpose of serving war! With the advancement of popularization, it has affected society, changed the lives of ordinary people, and affected the course of human history......

And what is Zhou Zeng doing at this time? But seeing this little Liu, after receiving Wang Xuance's instructions, in order to find this Zhou Zeng, he found the palace from the barracks, and found the entire royal city from the palace, and he never saw a trace of Zhou Zeng.

Just when he was anxious, he saw Zhou Zeng, with a gray face and covered in mud, appear in the barracks. Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu hurriedly said to him: "Senior brother, where did you go, you are so embarrassed, the eldest brother is looking for you to go to Mr. Zhang's place to check the forging of the Mo Knife?" ”

Zhou Zeng heard this, and said with his words: "Don't worry, don't worry, you quickly take people to the south city gate, ten miles east of the place to collect sulfur ore and saltpeter, I have just gone to check, there are a lot of these things here!" ”

So, he instructed Xiao Liu with the specific address and detailed matters, and Xiao Liu was also very happy to hear this news. Hurry up and call this soldier to follow him!

What do they want these things for? Please see the next ......
