Chapter 456: Swords Like Forest!

A few words to Zhang Fei made Tian Fan feel very happy. The two hooked their shoulders and backs, giggling and catching up with everyone's footsteps.

Zhao Yun and the others were very puzzled, what did these two people say? But Zhang Fei and Tian Fan didn't explain, they still went their own way, not caring about their surprised gazes at all.

Finally, their behavior attracted the attention of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and the two glanced at each other, their eyes a little strange. Guan Yu was thinking, third brother, what are you going to do? Liu Bei was thinking, yes, these two guys won't sleep in the same bed, right?

After the group arrived at the school grounds, they saw more than 100 eight-foot men lined up in a neat line, quietly waiting for their arrival.

There was a row of barracks on the edge of the school field, and dozens of carts were parked on the side of the barracks at this time, and Pu Yuan and some craftsmen were waiting.

Tian Fan's group of guards are very eye-catching, although they do not wear armor, but their eight-foot height, mountain-like physique, resolute eyes, and fierce momentum can still attract the attention of others.

Liu Bei and the others looked at it for a while and asked, "Boguang, where is Modao?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, wait a moment!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to enter the barracks, and Pu Yuan and other craftsmen followed.

Tian Fan explained: "Lord, it has been almost five months since the Mo knife was manufactured, and what I want to show you today is a new type of Mo knife that has been improved. This is the final product of Pu Yuan and others after continuous correction according to the use of the soldiers. The knife is six feet five inches long, which is five inches longer than the previous experiment, because Master Pu has made a new breakthrough in crucible steelmaking, and the steel produced is more refined, even if the cutter head is five inches longer, it still has the original durability. The handle was five feet long, and it was also five inches long, which was mainly lengthened in consideration of the height of the soldiers. ”

At this time, Pu Yuan led two craftsmen to rush over with a Mo knife.

Tian Fan said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, you have a knife, let me explain it to you!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded, and without saying a word, he lifted the Mo knife over, raised it with one hand, and played with the marksmanship of the Zhangba snake spear, and said sincerely: "Good knife, really good knife!" ”

In other words, as soon as this big knife appeared, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er beside him were dumbfounded! Isn't the size of this knife a bit too exaggerated? Hu Che'er's eyes were red, and the knife he used was not as powerful as this knife.

The generals surrounded him, Tian Fan pointed to the center of the knife surface, and said: "Lord, please see, soft steel is used here, because soft steel has good elasticity, which can effectively absorb the rebound force generated by the tool after a strong impact, and greatly increase the life of the tool." Lord, don't look at this little change, hehe, the original knife could be slashed up to 300 times during the experiment, but now, it can be chopped 800 times! Looking at the handle of the knife, the handle of the knife is also made of soft steel, so when the soldiers use it, they will not be shocked and their hands hurt. ”

Pointing to the blades that were cut on both sides, Tian Fan continued: "Lord, generals, please look here. The hard steel used here is made by Master Pu, which has been quenched, and the steel mouth is hard and sharp, which is definitely the only weapon for killing people and goods! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

After laughing, Tian Fan continued: "There is still ......" He looked at Pu Yuan, who was squeezed aside, and said, "Master Pu, come on!" ”

When everyone heard this, they naturally flashed a way, and looked at Pu Yuan with their eyes. Pu Yuan was very restrained, a little excited, a little blushing, he rubbed his hands, came to Zhang Fei, and said: "Lord, generals, because the hardness and elasticity of the steel forged by the villain have been enhanced, we have reduced the thickness of the knife. This will not affect the durability of the knife, but also reduce the weight, which is conducive to the use of soldiers. The head has been increased by five inches, and the overall durability of the tool has not been reduced, and the power has been further increased......"

As he spoke, the more Pu Yuan spoke, the smoother he became, and everyone could hear his strong confidence in Modao in his words. I can't help but have a stronger expectation for a short time to demonstrate.

When he finished speaking, Tian Fan said: "Everyone, hearing is false, seeing is believing, Ling Ming, you go and play a trick!" ”

Pang De received the order, took the Mo knife from Zhang Fei's hand, took ten steps forward, and played hard.

The big knife danced, a piece of white light flashed, flying sand and stones, the sun and moon had no light, and when the dancing speed was fast, with a whistling sound, like a ghost crying wolf, the momentum of the end was amazing.

Everyone saw the brilliance in their eyes, and Guan Yu, Xu Chu and other famous knife masters couldn't help but be eager to try.

After dancing for a while, Pound stopped and shouted, "Happy, really happy!" ”

Carrying a big knife, he walked towards Liu Bei and the others, and said, "Lord, it's really happy!" Although the handle is shorter, the room for use is limited, and many tricks cannot be used, but the extra-long head makes up for this disadvantage. Lord, I think this knife can be used not only for foot soldiers, but also for some powerful cavalry and generals, and it should be much more powerful than foot soldiers!

"Also, the balance point of the knife is well chosen, just about a palm distance from the head of the knife head to the top of the handle, and when using it, hold the position of the knife handle with one hand under the handle, which can save a lot of effort. It's so good, haha, I want to switch to this knife! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, more than 100 of Tian Fan's personal guards had already changed their clothes. Tian Fan said: "Everyone, let's not be busy talking about the cavalry, let's see the effect of the soldiers playing with knives first!" ”

After he reminded them, everyone found out that the soldiers had already lined up neatly and reappeared on the school grounds.

Seeing their outfits, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in surprise, pointed to the soldiers, and looked at Tian Fan.

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Not bad, a new type of armor!" Lord, please come and see! ”

Everyone followed Liu Bei to the front of the soldiers and looked at this new type of armor curiously.

Tian Fan said: "Pu Yuan, introduce!" ”

Pu Yuan clenched his fists and said, "Lord, everyone, please look at this new type of armor." This kind of armor is a new type of armor produced by our craftsman battalion after several experiments according to General Tian's instructions and some opinions. The entire armor is made of stainless steel, and the protection is amazing. The helmet is forged in one piece, and although it is ugly, it has a high level of protection. With the addition of a mask, the pores of the cover are inpenetrable, which can effectively protect the face of the soldier. Considering the force on the neck of a soldier when he is wounded to the head, we have designed a trick between the helmet and the upper body armor, and after a heavy blow to the head, the force will be transmitted to the upper body armor. In other words, when the enemy hits a soldier on the head, the soldier will not be broken in the neck, but will be knocked to the ground.

"The upper body is made of a large piece of stamped steel that is built to provide amazing protection. Also, according to General Tian's suggestion, considering the arm strength of the soldiers in continuous combat, we designed an iron hook on the front chest and back, and when the time comes, the iron hook hooks the small hole in the gauntlet of the handle of the Mo knife, and only needs to hold the knife in one hand to operate.

"The arm part is made of chain mail, which covers part of the steel sheet, and also has high defense. The lower body knees to the upper abdomen down is the hem, with steel wire connected to the upper body of the steel armor, made of cowhide and steel sheets, the protection is also very strong, although it can not prevent knife cutting, but the protection of the bow and arrow is very good. The soldier moved his legs more freely, and was able to get up soon after falling to the ground, without delaying the battle. ”

In other words, this armor is really ugly! The upper body, in addition to the head and arms, is an iron can, similar to the heavy cavalry armor of the West. But the lower body and arms are made of chain mail, which looks weird.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "What is the overall weight?" ”

Pu Yuan said: "It weighs the same as Xuanjia, about forty-five catties." ”

Liu Bei silently calculated, and exclaimed: "Forty catties of Mo knife, plus the weight of this armor, more than eighty catties, can the soldiers walk?" ”

Tian Fan said: "Lord, the soldiers only need to walk by themselves when they are fighting, and they don't need it on weekdays. My plan was that each soldier should be equipped with a war horse, which would be specially used to carry armor and weapons, and only when they were engaged in battle, would they put on their armor and pick up weapons. ”

Liu Bei listened to it, and then he was relieved.

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, you see that Master Pu has made such a great contribution, shouldn't he be promoted to become rich?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Pu Yuan, you have been promoted to the general of the craftsman camp!" ”

Pu Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Do a good job!" As for the reward, hehe, I'll have someone send it to you in two days! ”

Pu Yuan thanked again and again.

Tian Fan said with a smile: "Lord, how about looking at the soldiers' drills?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Tian Fan first let everyone go to the point platform on the school field, and then gave an order, and the soldiers scattered and lined up in three rows, with a distance of two zhang between people.

Looking at the reactions of Liu Bei and others, Tian Fan was very satisfied. Looking at the Modao Camp up close, the effect is not obvious, the distance is far, and then you stand tall, the shock is incomparable. The knife was like a forest, reflecting pieces of white light under the sun, and the murderous aura of Sen Ran came to his face. Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Tian Fan yelled: "Brothers, practice! ”

One hundred and twenty-one soldiers roared, put their knives horizontally in both hands, squatted down slightly on their knees, and then burst into shouts...... The soldiers began to circle around......

It seems to be a silly first action, but no one can laugh.

Zhao Yun asked Zhang Xiu beside him: "Senior brother, how to break the formation?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "No!" Right now...... Boguang's soldiers have only been training for a short time, and they can still see a lot of flaws, but ...... If after a year of training, the soldiers are completely familiar with the Mo sword, then, when they rotate, there will be no large gaps, and the speed is faster, and no one can break through this line of defense, not even the cavalry. We have also seen the sharpness of the Mo knife, if it can really reach the point that Boguang said, it can be said that everyone is afraid of ghosts! ”

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu: "How to crack it?" ”

Guan Yu frowned and shook his head, for a while, and said, "Wait!" When they're tired, they're so tired that they can't turn around! ”

Tian Fan listened to their discussion and smiled silently. The Mo knife is a sharp weapon against cavalry, and it is naturally stronger against foot soldiers! With the Modao battalion, plus the crossbow battalion, plus a cavalry battalion, hehe, none of us are afraid!

At this time, the soldiers turned around a few times and had stopped. Next, they perform another move, a diagonal slash! The knife was like a forest, and a strong murderous aura came to the face, and everyone couldn't help but gasp again!

Zhang Fei quietly asked Tian Fan, "Boguang, how to crack it?" Don't tell me you don't know? ”

Tian Fan frowned and shook his head, "I really don't know!" If it were me, I would choose not to be the enemy of the Modao battalion head-on, and choose to attack with heavy cavalry on the flank and break its array. Well, if it is necessary to assault head-on, then ...... I'll throw fist-sized gravel with a catapult and crush it! Or, shoot them with a bed crossbow, a car crossbow, a stretch crossbow, a waist crossbow, and a crossbow of twelve stones. ”

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Good idea!" ”

After the soldiers changed a few moves in a row, everyone no longer thought of a way to crack it, and they watched the soldiers practice with red eyes one by one.

Tian Fan smiled slightly and said, "Lord, everyone, the Modao Battalion's method of use is array slaughter, specializing in breaking the enemy's leader. The soldiers were heavily armoured and stood in front of the formation, and as long as the enemy dared to attack, it was a one-sided slaughter. It's just that...... I haven't studied the specific tactics yet, and I still need to study them with the generals. ”

Liu Bei grabbed him, and said eagerly with red eyes: "I want a hundred!" ”

Tian Fan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Lord, a hundred people can't form a combat force. Now, my lord, choose eight hundred of your guards and eight feet tall...... At least 7 feet 8 inches of personal soldiers, come to me to train together. It's just that...... My lord, the use of the Mo knife is still being studied, so, hehe, I want to ask you for a favor! ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said, "Say it quickly!" ”

Tian Fan looked at Xu Chu and said, "I want to borrow General Zhongkang!" General Zhong Kang is a master of knives, and I think he should be able to help me perfect the use of the Mo knife. ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "How long?" ”

Tian Fan said: "After the use of the Mo knife is determined, I will immediately return General Zhongkang and the eight hundred soldiers to you!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Tian Fan said with some twists: "Lord, there are ...... In the Xiapi camp, all the generals who use knives will be borrowed for a while. Don't worry, I don't think it will take long! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay!" Well, let's do it, you should study the use of the Mo knife as soon as possible, not only the knife technique of the foot soldier should be studied, but also the Mo knife knife method should be studied immediately! ”

Tian Fan nodded, clenched his fists and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”
