Chapter 210: Soft Sword? Spring steel! (a)
After Li Junxian explained to Li Shimin the theory that it is impossible to reconspire lightly, he returned to the special guard camp again and continued to prepare to supervise them to train soldiers. The only thing to do now is to make the soldiers line up as if they were one person, especially all kinds of discipline. Even, Li Junxian has begun to let them shoot each other with those arrows without arrows, practicing that they should not panic in front of the rain of arrows. The so-called queue for shooting, the important thing is not to retreat when a comrade-in-arms is killed, but someone has to come up. So, it's a lot of willpower. Able to withstand the enemy's rain of arrows, and not timid, but also ignore the death of his comrades to shoot back. If it can be done, then this group of soldiers will be qualified.
"General Li, our bows and crossbows have been scrapped. Now the weapons superintendents are scolding us for being losers! Now, when the officers of the Ordnance Prison heard that we had gone to them, they were guarding us like thieves. The bows and crossbows we asked them for in the past few months were the remaining ones they had accumulated over five or six years. If it weren't for our right to act cheaply, I'm afraid they would all have to fight with us. Mulan said helplessly.
Of course, Li Junxian knew what was going on, because these soldiers used pulley crossbows to fight according to Li Junxian's requirements. The pulley crossbow can be said to be the main combat weapon, and the consumption is extremely high. However, according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, a qualified bow and crossbow required a lot of materials, and the collection alone had to be collected throughout the year. The material is not important, but the cost of time is an issue. Even if you make a pair of crossbows, you still have to keep them in the box for a year. Li Junxian doesn't know exactly what the reason is, anyway, that's what it looks like. It takes two years for a qualified bow and crossbow, but it can't withstand Li Junxian's toss for a few months.
This month, the bows and crossbows in everyone's hands have been scrapped once, and this is all Li Junxian asking the soldiers to conduct intensive training. But wood has a lifespan, and once it reaches the end of its life, it will be scrapped. A batch will be scrapped in a month or two, and even the ordnance supervisor can't make it! This is a troop of 10,000 people, and with such extravagant training, where can the ordnance supervisor keep up!
"Well, it's still a matter of materials. If there is spring steel, what am I worried about! Li Junxian said helplessly.
Li Junxian also played with bows and crossbows in later generations, but the bows and crossbows in later generations were made of spring steel, not wood. Spring steel has and benefits, that is, it has a long life and can withstand repeated shots. Also, if the bow is made of steel, the same surname can be guaranteed. In other words, the effect of each bow and crossbow is the same, not like it is made of wood, and the texture of the wood may have a different shooting effect. The reason why later generations want to unify rifle models is to unify this shooting effect, and also to reduce the pressure of parts replacement. If a bow and crossbow made of mild steel is used, not only will everyone be able to adapt to all the crossbows at once, but they will have to retrain if they don't change one. It also reduces logistical pressure and reduces the time it takes to make a bow and crossbow. The time it takes to make a weapon is also an important factor, and if it can be made quickly, it will be very advantageous to win a war that consumes the surname.
"General Li, there is something I don't know if I should report today?" Mulan said hesitantly.
"Say it!" Li Junxian said.
"Today, two rangers fought at the gate of our barracks, which we stopped and are still being held in our barracks. We want to ask the general, what should we do? Mulan said.
"Ranger? Gangsters? Li Junxian whispered.
The so-called rangers, that is, some gangsters. The so-called martial arts novels are all about these rangers. The heroes in many martial arts novels are for the country and the people, but Li Junxian, an official, thinks that this kind of ranger is a chivalrous martial arts ban. Li Junxian also often read martial arts novels when he was a child, but he really became a civil servant, studied the history books of all dynasties, and after having the concept of the rule of law in his heart, he found that these rangers were a group of scum. Just because of his momentary mood, he deprived a person of his life, and killed him regardless of whether that person deserved to die or not. Let's not talk about whether those people deserve to die or not, why do they deprive a person of his life so arbitrarily? This is very unfair to the deceased. On what basis do they represent the law? Therefore, it is better to have fewer such rangers.
"It's good to send them to Chang'an, our army should not take care of this kind of civil brawl. If we don't even care about this kind of brawl, then we don't want to be busy to death! Li Junxian said casually.
This kind of brawl is a civilian issue, and the army generally does not take care of it. What's more, this kind of gangster Li Junxian doesn't want to ask more, what is he doing? However, Mulan's next sentence made Li Junxian pay attention.
"General Li, then we will also send that murder weapon soft sword to Chang'an Mu's mansion together?" Mulan said.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Li Junxian asked.
"I said, the murder weapon was also sent along." Mulan said it again.
"No, what did you say was that weapon?"
"Soft Sword!" Mulan replied.
"Soft sword?" Li Junxian seemed to have thought of something.
Li Junxian seemed to think of something from the word soft sword, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Li Junxian scratched his ears and cheeks, as if a burst of lightning flashed just now, but he didn't know what he thought.
"Mulan, bring that soft sword!" Li Junxian said.
Mulan quickly brought the gangster's weapon, and then Li Junxian pulled out the thing that was called a soft sword. The soft sword was drawn, and the blade was still shaking, as if it was very bullet.
"Soft sword? Such a soft sword? Li Junxian, Li Junxian seemed to be a little curious.
In his previous life, Li Junxian had only seen soft swords when he was practicing Tai Chi with those old cadres in the park, and the soft swords were very soft and were said to be made of spring steel. This kind of soft sword is a weapon often used by ancient knights in movies and TV series, and even every martial arts film and television drama has this kind of soft sword. Li Junxian used it again, but found that he couldn't master this soft sword at all, so he could only retreat. The swords that Li Junxian has seen since crossing are all hard, that is, hard swords, and this is the first time he has seen a soft sword in this era.
"Soft sword?" Li Junxian muttered again.
Li Junxian then bent the blade of the soft sword with his fingers, and the result was very easy to bend over.
"Whoosh ......" There was a crisp sound, and the soft sword returned to its original form after Li Junxian let go.
"Soft sword? Isn't this spring steel? Li Junxian suddenly exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
