Mo knife is the Han Dynasty against the Hun cavalry of the main force of the infantry Yulin Army in the heavy infantry sword evolved, the long knife has blades on both sides, weighs about 50 catties, the handle is four feet long, in the Tang Dynasty is the main melee weapon equipped with the heavy armored infantry army.

However, the cost of casting a Mo knife is too high, casting a Mo knife, it takes fifty catties of steel, cutting people and horses, and the edge is very easy to be damaged, even if Datang has been recuperating for several years, but where to get so much steel to cast Mo knife? If you want to wield a fifty-pound broadsword to fight continuously, the quality requirements for the soldiers are also extremely high.

Therefore, when Li Shimin heard that Fang Xu had a way to improve the Mo Dao, he would be very excited, with Li Shimin's understanding of Fang Xu, the improvement that Fang Xu said would never be a small repair, Fang Xu would never disdain such details, it must be a drastic transformation, there is a qualitative leap, which means that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will be greatly improved, can Li Shimin not be excited?

"How does Gongsuke plan to improve Modao?" Although Fang Xu's expression was given by Li Shimin, this is the first time that Li Shimin and his solemn name Fang Xu is called, you must know that in the past, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, a few prime ministers and important ministers who followed Li Shimin from the Qin Palace, only had the treatment, which also reflected that in Li Shimin's heart, Fang Xu was no longer the Fang family boy, but the pillar of the country who could compete with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.

Fang Xu replied: "In the past, cast iron burned trees, and the temperature was difficult to increase, but now Chen has discovered coal, burning coal can increase the furnace temperature of ironmaking several times, so that you can train steel with higher quality than iron, which can not only reduce the quality but also save raw materials, and the blade is sharper." ”

"Since ancient times, marching and fighting pay attention to the strong horse rushing and strong crossbow to resist, but once approached by the cavalry, the foot soldiers were slaughtered, of course, there are exceptions, on the bridge of the Three Kingdoms time border, Ju Yi's first camp has swept Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant. Like Gao Shun's trapping camp, he also swept everything regardless of foot riding. Compared with these troops who have left a great name in history and have strict requirements, the Mo Dao military formation of the Tang Dynasty is designed to restrain the cavalry, of course, if the infantry is against the Mo Dao military formation, it is even more vulnerable. Make the strong soldiers hold the Mo knife in their hands, and ten hundred handles are erected like a wall, and cut people up and down on horses, and if the enemy riders come closer, there is a big array of my Mo swords, crushing everything.

Of course, every class has its flaws. The Mo Dao Array is no exception, the Mo Dao Army Array is certainly amazingly powerful, but only the Mo Dao Gang is too single, if it can make up for this shortcoming, its lethality will only be increased several times. ”

Fang Xu said in his heart: "If the Modao army formation can be cooperated with the sound battalion of strong bows and crossbows, and equipped with some strong pawns with hook and sickle spears and long-handled giant axes that will hold the later generations, similar to Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array in the Ming Dynasty, it will be more perfect and establish its position as the overlord of infantry." ”

Li Shimin said curiously: "The Modao Army Formation is equipped with other troops, how to form a formation?" ”

Fang Xu said with a smile: "If the Modao Army Formation can have the cooperation of the shooting battalion with strong bows and crossbows, and then equip some strong pawns with hooked sickles and long-handled giant axes, and cooperate with each other, it can not only solve the problem of continuous fighting, but also effectively destroy the enemy to the greatest extent." ”

Li Shimin said: "The long-handled giant axe is easy to say, I have also used this gun, what is a hook and sickle gun?" ”

Fang Xu said in his heart: "This hook sickle was originally something that appeared in the Song Dynasty, of course I don't know, but I also have to admire Li Shimin's insight, I said so much, Li Shimin can still notice that he has not seen the hook sickle, it is worthy of a generation of Tianjiao." ”

Fang Xu had no choice but to explain: "The hook and sickle is to add a sickle to the spear. Used in infantry combat, the ancient military chariot warfare method had a similar weapon. It was a spear with a barbed tip on the tip of the spear, designed to deal with enemy cavalry. When cavalry bursts into formation, soldiers in the formation can use hook and sickle spears to force enemy cavalry to avoid scurrying around their own formation. Because the hook and sickle can cut the horse's leg on the ground, thus forcing the enemy to fall off the horse and creating a fighter. ”
