~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the open space in front of the wooden building, there is a straw man, wearing a hat and a bearded clothes, which is obviously a grass target of a bearded person. The face, throat, heart and other fatal locations of the grass target are each painted with red paint in a circle the size of a cup.

Burst! The white light flashed, and a flying knife was inserted in the middle of the grass target's face, and the knife was heavy and fierce, and it entered without a blade.

Immediately followed by two more pops, the grass target was hit in one knife in the throat and one in the heart, and the positions were all within the red circle, which was very accurate.

Pat pat pat There was a round of applause. Zhang Fang smiled and nodded in approval. And the person who was commended was Qingyan.

Twenty steps away from the grass target, Qing Yan was dressed in a sharp short fight, wrapped in a green scarf, standing on the field, heroic and cool. The most striking thing was a dark red belt around her waist, with a total of twelve buckles, nine of which had a throwing knife in each of them, and only three of them were emptyβ€”the knife had been inserted into the body of the grass target.

At this moment, Qingyan was pulling out a flying knife and playing with it, full of joy.

The flying knife is eight inches long, handleless, and has blades on both sides, shaped like a spearhead. The blade is bright, the blade is dark blue, and the contrast is obvious, giving people a strong visual impact. The knife has an iron ring at the end that fits a finger. When you take it, you only need to stretch out two fingers, one finger to unbuckle, and one finger to hook the ring, and you can take the knife out of the buckle to kill the enemy.

Zhang Fang said a long time ago that he wanted to create a batch of flying knives for Qingyan, and he almost made it in the Sanshui Domain, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong later, and the matter was delayed. It wasn't until I came to the river wall that I had a chance.

Jiaohebi was one of the two important fulcrums of the Han Dynasty's operation in the Western Regions, and with the permission of the imperial court, it was allowed to make iron furnaces, build and repair armor, and forge various agricultural tools. Of course, there are strict rules regarding the number of weapons to be built. In addition to the necessary reserves stipulated by the DPRK, the principle of making up for one loss is basically followed. In other words, you can only get a new weapon if the weapon is damaged beyond repair. And it is not an empty-handed collection, it must be trade-in. All this needs to be registered, and there is no way to check it.

However, as mentioned earlier, no matter what dynasty or generation, it is only limited to long soldiers, except for short blades - you must apply for approval if you can't fight a kitchen knife.

Therefore, Zhang Fang's process of creating flying knives was very smooth. only informed Chen Tang and Guo Xi, and then wrote out the required shape and data, naturally there would be someone to run the foot, and he didn't even need to pay for the iron materials, all of which Guo Xi paid. Guo Xi almost missed the life of the young marquis of Fuping because of a mistake in judgment, and he was bent on finding something to make up for it, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show his goodwill.

At this time in the Western Han Dynasty, whether it was iron smelting or forging weapons, there was still a lack of mass production, and the quality of weapons was uneven, and the quality mainly depended on the number of "refining". The so-called refining is folding and forging, one stack is one refining, the more times, the higher the number of refining. Thirty refinements are already refined iron, seventy refinements are refined steel, and one hundred refinements are priceless blade levels. For example, the Dragon Shadow Sword that Zhang put on his waist is this level.

Because folding forging is time-consuming and laborious, it is difficult to achieve mass production, so most of the soldiers of the Han army only have five to seven refining spears, ge, and halberd heads, and the ring head knife can reach more than ten refinements. That's basically what it looks like.

Zhangfang's requirements for customization are recyclable, can be used repeatedly and are not easy to damage. Therefore, Guo Xi personally ordered that it should be built according to his own saber standard, no less than thirty refinements. This is the twelve fine iron flying knives exclusive to Qingyan.

From the moment he got the flying knife, Qing Yan was so happy that he couldn't play enough. After getting acquainted with it, start trying to throw. After more than a dozen times of practice, I quickly found the feel, the distance became farther and farther, and the hit became higher and higher, but in half a day, I reached the best level.

Zhang Fang saw it and couldn't help but applaud. To tell the truth, when the flying knife was forged, he also tried, and three out of ten knives could hit the target, but that's all, no matter what accuracy and distance, he couldn't talk about it. It can be seen that this hand work must be talented, and not everyone can play it.

Qingyan is a gifted person.

"Thank you Childe for the knife." Qingyan leaned down and bowed.

Girls develop rapidly, and after meeting Zhang Fang, nutrition can keep up, and after a few months, it is no longer the yellow muscle thin when they first met, but the muscles and bones are abundant. This worship has also been a little profitable.

Zhang let go of his hand and smiled, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Han Jun's voice coming from outside: "Young man, Second Captain Chen and Guo have come to visit again." ”

Zhang Fang hummed, guessing that it was for the supply of thunder artillery, waved his hand to Qingyan, signaled her to hurry up and change her clothes and wait, and went straight out to greet her.

Unexpectedly, when he walked out of Chaimen, he saw Chen Tang and Guo Xi's two servants, but the two big men were nowhere to be seen.

The two servants stepped forward to salute with an apologetic face: "The captain ordered me to wait here and apologize to the son." There is urgent military business for the time being, so I leave in a hurry, and when I have time, I will personally come to the door to apologize. ”

Zhang Fang and Han Jun, who answered the door, looked at each other, what is the situation?

……

At this moment, the two bosses who had missed the appointment were circling around a horse.

The horse is very ordinary, five feet tall, chestnut with brown color, slightly mixed coat, short face and long neck, and strong limbs. Such a horse, placed in the Central Plains, is excellent, but in the Western Regions, it can only be regarded as medium. Just such an inconspicuous war horse actually attracted the eyes of the two captains?

The fact is that Chen Tang and Guo Xi's four eyes were not staring at the horse, but at the saddle on the horse's body, as well as a pair of stirrups.

The saddle is slightly warped at both ends, with an iron bridle in front, which is slightly different from the usual saddle; The stirrup seems to be similar to their common unilateral stirrup, but it is slightly different, not only bilateral, but also more strangled.

This is the mount of Du Xun led by the Jiaohe Bitun army, a very ordinary horse, which is lined with his rank. Just now, he was so excited that he galloped across the river and reported to the two lieutenants who were about to visit Zhang Fang.

It stands to reason that someone has been informed to visit the master, and before the master goes out to greet him, he should not leave without permission, otherwise it will be rude. But as soon as Chen and Guo saw Du Xun riding a horse, they saw him let go of his hands, held a shield in one hand, and drew his sword to strike left and right. The eyes of the two suddenly lit up. Don't say a word, don't care about being rude, and leave immediately.

Seeing that the two of them had seen the same, Du Xun bowed down and said, "Please give it a try." ”

Chen Tang sued: "The riding skill of the ability is above the soup, please." ”

Guo Xi was not polite, and he didn't care about changing his clothes, he turned over and got on the horse in a crotchless deep coat, and he didn't care about showing his cheeks. Fortunately, all the men present are big men, and they are used to seeing it, so it doesn't matter.

Guo Xi galloped three laps, and in the first lap, he hit with a knife; In the second circle, the spear thrusts; In the third circle, abandon the pawn and change the bow, and shoot left and right.

After three laps of running, Guo Xi did not wait for Hu to follow the horse, and even scolded him as a servant of "getting on the horse". jumped down with his legs, and asked in the first sentence: "Du Xun, is this your invention?" ”

Du Xun shook his head: "It was his subordinates who saw this thing on the mount of Zhang Gongzi's guard Deng Zhan, and they didn't care about it at first, but later befriended him and inadvertently tried to ride, so they knew that this was a strange thing." ”

"Deng Zhan?" Chen and Guo glanced at each other, very surprised, they had all seen this person, they couldn't see it, they couldn't hide it!

Du Xun's words are not finished: "...... According to Deng Zhan, this thing was actually made by his young master, that is, Zhang Gongzi. ”

Chen Tang and Guo Xi were twisting their beards and shaking their sleeves, their mood was agitated, their eyes were glared when they heard the words, their hands trembled, and they tore off the rhizomes and whiskers - it was him again!

Thunder cannons, saddles, stirrups...... How many magic tricks did he still have that he hadn't shown?
