"Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why are you all here, the weapons I supervised are good, right? Compared to the weapons of your Han people, they are all better! "Since Shamoke married Cao Hua, he has begun to change his name to Lu Rui and others, and they are called according to the eldest and youngest.

The spies of the old barbarian king have not returned, and Lu Rui can't go to Jiaozhou, so he mixes with Shamoke every day. Shamoke was also very enthusiastic, and took Lu Rui and others to visit the scenic spots of Wuman Creek, and today, Shamoke took Lu Rui and his party to the armory room of Wuman Creek.

"What a sharp sword!" Cao Pi took Shamoke's long sword and flicked his fingers lightly, making a crisp buzzing sound.

"Show me!" Lu Rui heard the sound of the long sword, was stunned for a moment, and asked for the long sword from Cao Pi's hand.

The material of this sword is steel! Lu Rui took the long sword, and was taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect to see a weapon made of steel in Wuman Creek. The steelmaking technology of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not yet popular, but it does not mean that there were no steel weapons, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some people had already trained steel weapons.

"Brother Rui, this sword seems to be sharper than my father's Baipi Knife!" Cao Chong touched the long sword with his small hand, and immediately took it back, this long sword seemed to eat people, and before he touched it, his hand felt a stinging pain.

The Baipi Sword is a steel weapon refined by Cao Cao, a total of five have been refined, and now except for Cao Ang, the remaining four are in Cao Cao's hands. As for how Cao Cao knew how to refine steel weapons, everyone in the Cao family didn't know. It's just that Lu Rui relied on his own guess that it should be Cao Jin who obtained some secret method of steelmaking from the ancient tomb when he was doing things for Cao Cao, after many tests. Only then did I have a hundred knives.

After Qin Shi Huang burned his books. Many of the skills of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been lost. However, there are not necessarily no remnants left in ancient tombs.

"Shamoko, where is the master of swordsmithing? How was this sharp sword made? Lu Rui handed the sword to Shamoke and asked about the swordsmith. If this person really mastered the method of forging swords, Lu Rui would be very interested in bringing this person back to Xu Du.

"Master Hou, the old grandfather was poisoned by a hundred trees today and is recuperating at home." A young man who was forging a sword on the side heard that Lu Rui was looking for a swordsmith, and hurriedly reported that the master had been poisoned.

"What? The old grandfather was poisoned by a hundred trees? How could you be so careless? Does it matter? As soon as Shamoko heard that the swordsmith had been poisoned, he immediately grabbed the young man and asked.

"The prince is reassured. The old grandfather just accidentally let the venom flow into his wound that was about to scarred, and after treatment, there is no major problem, please rest assured. ”

"That's okay, I thought something happened to the old grandfather?!" Shamoko let out a long breath, and when he heard that the swordsmith was fine, his heart was relieved.

"Hey, it's a pity I don't know how such a sharp sword was forged!" Cao Chong blinked and glanced at Shamoke, from Shamoke's expression. Cao Chong saw that Shamoke had a close relationship with the swordsmith, and he was afraid that he would know the secret of this long sword.

"Brother-in-law. Don't be discouraged, the old man is not here, but I know why this sword is so sharp! Shamoko smiled and waved his left hand, indicating that he knew the secret of the sword.

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, this sword was given to us by God in Wumanxi, do you know it?" Then Shamoke told the origin of this sword vividly, and everyone listened to it with relish, especially Cao Chong, when he heard Shamoke talk about the climax, he would cooperate, and the two of them looked like a pair of living treasures.

Shamoke was very excited, but Lu Rui didn't listen very carefully, because Lu Rui knew it in his heart after hearing a few key words.

What is given from heaven is actually the raw material from which this sword is forged. It is a sacred stone flying from the sky. According to Shamoke's description, Lu Rui understood that where was the divine stone, it was obviously a meteorite, which fell down and formed a meteor, which was discovered by the old grandfather of Wumanxi, thinking that it was a godsend.

Then Shamoke told the old grandfather's sword-forging process, as well as the scene of his own help. The process and technique of forging swords are explained very clearly. Lu Rui listened from the sidelines, and sighed secretly in his heart, it turned out that the old grandfather's sword-casting method was nothing special, and it was basically the same as Cao Cao's Baipi knife refining method, but it never solved the problem of improving steelmaking efficiency.

According to Shamoko, it took ten years for this longsword to be refined, from when he was a child, until he grew into a young man! This kind of refining technique is not what Lu Rui wants, you can practice more than a thousand long swords in at least a month to be useful, otherwise it is impossible to equip the army in large quantities if you sharpen one sword in ten years.

Most of the credit for this long sword being so sharp should be attributed to its material, although he didn't know what the material was, but Lu Rui was sure that the alien objects might hide some elements that the earth did not have, and these elements might be the fundamental reason why this sword was so sharp.

"Shamoke, what kind of poison is the poisoning of the swordsmith master Lao Grandpa you are talking about? You seem to be nervous just now? Lu Rui really couldn't listen to Shamoke's rhetoric, and led the topic to other places.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you don't know this, we Wumanxi, no, all ethnic groups in our south are good at making and using drugs, to tell the truth, most of our southern places have no raw materials for making weapons and blades, in order to deal with the armed forces of the Han people, we can only use strange methods to win, and poison is our magic weapon." Shamoke proudly introduced the poison-making process of Wumanxi to Lu Rui and others.

The ethnic minorities in the south of the Han Dynasty were different from the ethnic minorities in the north, and the weapons casting of the southern ethnic minorities was far lower than that of the northern ethnic minorities, and the technology was quite backward. Taking Wumanxi as an example, most of the barbarian soldiers in Wumanxi use spear-like weapons, and their shields are basically bamboo shields.

The only reason for using spear-like weapons is that Wumanxi's iron-making technology is not high, and there is a lack of raw materials. The soldiers were forced to use spears as their main weapons. Since the crossing, Lu Rui has gained a deep understanding of the fighting techniques of the two armies. If it is two soldiers of the same strength, the soldier with a short blade must be far more powerful than the soldier with a long blade, especially in foot combat.

Therefore, although the southern ethnic minorities generally had more troops than Wu and Shu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they were always suppressed by the armies of the two countries, and a large part of the reason was the disadvantage of weapons.

In order to make up for this disadvantage, the ethnic minorities in the south generally made poison as a weapon to resist the Han soldiers, and then took advantage of the terrain, and the two sides were basically in a state of stalemate.

"Shamoko, what kind of poison are you talking about? How toxic is it? Is there an antidote? How long does it take? Lu Rui had an idea, and suddenly thought of a good idea, using poison as a weapon to snipe the enemy general.

"Brother-in-law?" Shamoke was stunned for a moment, Lu Rui suddenly asked so many questions, he didn't know how to answer.

"Huh? It seems that I am in a hurry, I ask one question by one, and you answer slowly. Lu Rui knew that he was too anxious when he saw Shamoke's appearance, so he slowly sorted out his thoughts and began to ask Shamoke questions carefully.

The poisons in Wumanxi are mainly poisons refined from poisonous trees, poisonous weeds, and poisonous animals. According to different formulas or combinations, different poisons can be refined, the toxicity is strange, but the final result will be fatal, and the poison is generally no antidote, there are more than 50 kinds of poisons in Wumanxi now, but there are only five kinds of antidotes prepared.

The stock of top poisons in Wumanxi is not much, the main reason is that the preparation is complicated, and at the same time, there is a danger to life in the process of refining, some pharmacists who refine poisons have not yet refined poisons, and they made a small mistake in the process, and they died in vain, leaving only one formula to be completed by future generations. According to Shamoko's estimates, the poison was only enough to kill a few hundred people.

The rest of the poisons are some ordinary poisons, and the recipes of these poisons are simple, and Wumanxi will match them, and so will the nearby Han people. Wumanxi only occupies an advantage in raw material gathering, and is generally used for large-scale sniping of enemy troops on the battlefield, such as sniping enemy troops with poisoned arrows in conjunction with the terrain.

"Yes." Lu Rui listened to Shamoke's words and nodded, it seems that this poison can really be used on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
