Chapter 97: Disorderly Scale
The leader of the treasury went to the order, Han Tao grabbed an inferior watermelon knife again, slashed a few times in the air, and said to Wu Kai: "Brother-in-law, don't look at the appearance of this ring knife, but it is extremely useful to chop at close range."

You don't need to say this, everyone who has seen Troubled Boy knows it!
Wu Kai vomited in his heart, was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "You said this is the ring head knife?" What are you kidding, this can also be called a ring head knife! ”
This ring-headed knife Wu Kai has seen before, and its appearance is similar to the Japanese sword, slender and sharp, with smooth lines - this shoddy watermelon knife in front of him, what is it like a ring-head knife?!
Han Tao laughed: "I'm afraid what my brother said is the ring-head knife of the former Tang Dynasty, the ring-head knife of our Great Song Dynasty was originally like this." ”
As he spoke, he searched back and forth on the shelf a few times, picked it up again, and handed it to Wu Kai upside down, and said with a smile: "Look, isn't there a 'ring' on it?" ”
Wu Kai glanced at it, and was speechless again - emotion bent that ugly little tail into a circle, and it was called a ring head knife?!
Just as he was speechless, he saw the library manager walking in with three scimitars with sheaths, Han Tao picked one up, and pulled it out with a bang, and saw that the blade was shiny, and it was really a trembling sword body, cold and terrifying.
But......
That's too much, isn't it?
Wu Kai had also made twenty or thirty knives before, although most of them were strange-shaped props, but he still knew some about knives.
But the handful in front of him made him a little incomprehensible.
Wu Kai also asked for a handful from the warehouse manager, pulled it out and put it in the sun to take a closer look, only to see that the knife was almost as thick as the whole body, and he tried to shake it, but it was a soft mess.
If you use high-quality good materials, it will be soft and soft, but the problem is that this is obviously ordinary iron material, how can it be used as a weapon if it is soft like this?
"Brother-in-law, be careful not to shake."
Han Tao laughed on the side: "This thing is brittle, I heard that the border army calls this 'sending the first knife', which means that if you really want to use it to fight, it is like giving your head to someone." ”
"Then what are you doing with this?"
"There are few materials, and the materials that can be used to make a ring head knife can be made into two and a half hand knives." Han Tao spread his hands and said: "In recent years, the ring head knife has not been approved well, and it is still this kind of hand knife that is full of quantity, how many batches are reported!" ”
Isn't it said that the science and technology of the Northern Song Dynasty was the best in the world in the same era?
How can the equipment of the army rot like this!
Wu Kai remembered seeing a few Tang knives at a friend's house, and after thousands of years, they were still cold and shimmering-there was no reason why after hundreds of years, the smelting process had regressed?
"I heard my grandfather say that the weapons we made in the Great Song Dynasty earlier were okay, even if they couldn't catch up with the Tang Dynasty, they were much stronger than the rotten goods now, but later Emperor Renzong changed the system of weapons supervision, and the output went up, but things became more and more useless."
Han Tao said, grinning disdainfully, obviously looking down on this kind of reform that is getting worse and worse.
After a pause, he continued to explain: "I heard that the blades of the border army are better, such as horse swords or something, they are all battlefield weapons!" ”
"Master Han."
At this time, the Guan Ku couldn't help but interject: "In fact, in recent years, the equipment of the border army has been much worse than before. ”
I'm going to go~
No wonder the Song army is million, but it can't stop the blow of the Jin Kingdom, the emotional armament has been rotten to this extent!
It seems that in the future, we can't always count on the armory of officers and soldiers, or find some craftsmen and build their own blades is the best policy.
While pondering about finding the craftsman, Wu Kai said curiously: "Then what should you do about suppressing bandits on weekdays?" I don't think you brought a ring knife at the time, so can't you just take this thing and send it to death? ”
"Of course not."
Han Tao explained: "Usually the bandits are mainly used with spears, and the hand knife is also used to scare and scare the unarmed people, or to use it when guarding prisoners - the only advantage of this thing is that it is lightweight, and it usually does not feel tired when carrying it on the road, so everyone knows that the hand knife is unreliable, but they are still too lazy to change it to a ring head knife." ”
When Wu Kai heard this, he picked up a ring-headed knife again, and compared the two, the ring-headed knife was about five kilograms, but this hand knife was about two kilograms.
The intensity of the local army's suppression of bandits is not comparable to that of the border war, and the opponent's equipment may even be worse than the hand knife, and the weapon of the main battle is a gun, so it is not surprising that the soldiers abandoned the practical ring-head knife in order to be lightweight, and brought this kind of tatters.
It's just that in this way, Wu Kai is a little difficult to choose, considering that the sword and shield soldiers mainly rely on knives as offensive weapons, it seems that it is the right choice to choose the ring head knife.
However, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, how many soldiers can hold out for a long time?
If you wait for the enemy to rush closer, but you no longer have the strength to wield the single knife in your hand, will you not be slaughtered?
As for this hand knife, no matter how light it is, Wu Kai won't use it!
Tell Han Tao what he thinks, but Han Tao clapped his hands and said, "It turns out that brother-in-law, you want to train the players of the group?" Why didn't you say it earlier, come on, come with me! ”
As he spoke, he picked up Wu Kai and walked out, found a warehouse more than ten meters away, and instructed the warehouse manager to open the door lock, push the door and go in to see, but there was a half-library short sword, only about thirty centimeters in length, not so much a short sword, but more like a pile of daggers.
Wu Kai hesitated: "This ...... Isn't it too short? ”
"Short?"
As if hearing a joke, Han Tao picked up one nearby, and waved at Wu Kaixian: "These are the tips of spears, and they can be as long as they are loaded with the barrel of the gun!" I mean, brother-in-law, don't make any single knives, just make a batch of short spears, which are almost two feet long [66 cm]. ”
Contradiction?
The first thing that came to Wu Kai's mind was Pan Sen in the League of Legends - since the ancient Spartans played like this, there must be a contradiction in the head.
Even if it's really not suitable, it's a big deal to change the short spear to a long spear.
So he waved his hand and said, "Okay, then I want all these spear points - are there any ready-made gun shafts?" Let's have a few hundred first! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course! Do you prefer something a little softer or something a little harder? ”
When the Guan Ku saw this, he also knew that the big customer had come, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy -- Wu Jingui took half of the money for selling weapons, and the generals and officers in the army divided the remaining half.
After that, Wu Kai chose shields, red tassel guns, paper armor and other equipment, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt cold, and the more he looked at it, the more determined he was to build his own blade.
It's not that the Song Dynasty didn't have good equipment, but the quality of these equipment was uneven, and the same kind of shield, some of which could be cut with a hand knife, and some could defend against a frontal attack with a spear......
Ay~
It seems that disorderly scale is almost equivalent to death!
