254, Datang Three Knives (II)

Soon, all the generals came, including Cheng Yanjin, the old demon king, Li Jing, the Tang Dynasty military god, and Qin Qiong, the veteran. They all came to see these new knives.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at these knives, this one was invented by Jingwen, look at these knives he invented. I've seen this barrier knife just now, it's very good, and it's suitable for wild hunting. There are two knives left, which should be good. Now let's ask Jingwen to introduce it! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen picked up the six-five style cavalry knife and immediately said: "This knife is a knife for cavalry, and now our cavalry in Datang mainly uses horse lances, and horse lances are very difficult to train, difficult to use, and difficult to control by non-famous generals." And a qualified cavalryman, just training the technical skills of the horse lance will take a year, and I don't know how long it will take to add riding skills and the like. So, it's not bad to switch to a sabre. ”

But Cheng Biting Jin, the old demon king, immediately said: "No, no, my old Cheng uses the horse lance, how can you say that the horse lance will be eliminated?" The length of the horse lance is very long, and it can directly attack the enemy, which can give you a certain advantage. Moreover, assassination is more powerful than slashing, so there is a saying that three knives are one spear. ”

"But it costs too much money to make a horse lance, and the training is difficult. Even, after training for a long time, you may not be able to become proficient. So, the saber is low cost and easy to train. Although the power may not be as powerful as that of a horse lance, it is highly efficient in killing enemies! On the battlefield, as long as you are injured, you are afraid that you have lost your combat ability. Jingwen also said.

Cheng Lao Demon King immediately slipped Jing Wenti up and asked with bad intentions; "How many battles have you fought, and you actually discussed this with Lao Cheng and me?"

Jingwen was helpless, he had never fought, which was a fatal shortcoming. Jing Wen can't say that long weapons such as horse lances and horse pistols are to be gradually eliminated in the cavalry. In the future, the cavalry will be dominated by sabers, and the horse lance will disappear into history. This is actually the high cost of horse lance training. But the killing effect is not as good as the cost. The cost of the saber is low, but the soldier is flexible and can easily kill the enemy. Although the absolute death toll of the enemy may not be as high as that of a horse, as long as the enemy can be made unable to fight, it is no different from killing the enemy. This is the reason why the saber is cost-effective, so that the saber eliminates the horse lance.

"Okay, kid Jingwen has a point. The cost of making a horse lance is indeed high, although my Datang implements a government military system, allowing soldiers to carry their own weapons. But the lance is not something that everyone can afford to equip, so it is still a good sabre. Saber training is simple. It is easy to make, and the killing effect is not necessarily lower than that of the horse lance, so it is a very suitable weapon. Li Shimin said.

Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Shimin said so, so he stopped talking. The reason why Cheng Yanjin held the horse lance was because he himself used the horse lance, so of course Cheng Yanjin could not say that the weapon he used was backward. Cheng Yanjin has been learning horse lance since he was a child, so he naturally knows the difficulty of learning horse lance. Therefore, there are not many people who can use the horse lance, and there are not many who can use it well. The Turks also rarely used long weapons. Just with a scimitar? And this cavalry knife "designed" by Jingwen is also long enough, which can be used not only for assassination, but also for chopping. It's nice stuff.

And the cavalry of the Turks did not really fight with their swords, but when the horses charged, they held their scimitars sideways. Then with the help of the impact of war horses, countless infantry were cut. The so-called cavalry on TV rushed into people and slashed everywhere, this is impossible. Once the cavalry loses its impact, it is not as good as the infantry! Cavalry relied more on horsepower to charge. Then attack the enemy with the trend, and definitely not slash at it with your own saber.

"I give this saber the name of the horizontal knife, which means that my Datang can sweep the world!" Li Shimin said.

Jingwen was shocked again, this saber actually became a horizontal knife, where did the horizontal knife in history go? The 65-style cavalry knife of later generations became a horizontal knife, and the mad dog tactical assault knife became a barrier knife, and the last Mo knife did not need to be renamed.

"Huh? This last broadsword is supposed to be used to slash and kill cavalry, right? Li Jing asked.

"General Li is wise, this is called the Mo Knife, which is used to make strong soldiers wear Mingguang armor, and then hold the Mo Knife, line up in a row, and then slash and kill the enemy's cavalry. In this way, the enemy's cavalry could be hacked to death with men and horses. Jingwen said.

Li Jing suddenly laughed and said, "A few days ago, I also had this idea, and I just happened to have this inspiration, but I didn't really think of it. But I didn't expect you to think of it, it's really the same as the hero! I didn't expect you to give you a head start! ”

Jingwen was speechless, in history, this tactic of advancing like a wall with a knife was actually thought up by Li Jing, and now he lets himself take the lead. However, Li Jing has not thought of it yet, but thinks that it was invented by Jingwen.

"Oh? Do pharmacists think the same way? Li Shimin asked.

Li Jing said with certainty: "Yes, I also thought that if everyone held a big knife and lined up in a row wearing heavy armor to slash and kill the enemy's lightly armed cavalry, it would be very powerful. But I haven't really researched it yet, so I let this little chef take the lead, which is really amazing! Heroes see the same thing! ”

"Hahahaha, Jingwen, you have been praised by the pharmacist as a 'hero'! There are few people in this world who can be praised as heroes by the pharmacist, and you are one of them. Li Shimin also said with a smile.

Jing Wen also smirked, he couldn't say that his method was plagiarized from Li Jing! Therefore, Jingwen, the hero, is actually just a fake hero.

"Okay, these knives of yours, let's use them during the military exercise in a few months! If the effect is good at that time, then the whole army will be equipped. If the whole army can be equipped by then, then I can give you the dividends that have been achieved. Li Shimin said.

Hearing this, Jingwen immediately became happy. Isn't Jingwen just for money? The emperor knows Jingwen's virtue very well, that is, he wants money to die. Anyway, the emperor really likes this kind of asking for money, because it is better to ask for money than to ask for power!

"Your Majesty, can you not tell General Zhang Shigui about these weapons, I want to give him a 'surprise'." Jingwen said.

Jingwen was worried that Li Shimin would sue Zhang Shigui for these weapons, so I'm afraid Zhang Shigui would be prepared. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to deal with yourself.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said: "If Zhang Shigui doesn't take the initiative to ask, then I can not tell him, but cleavage Zhang Shigui took the initiative to ask, then don't blame me for not keeping it secret for you." ”

Jingwen was helpless, Li Shimin didn't fully agree to him, but if he could do this, it would be fine.

And Jingwen didn't expect that the three knives he "designed" also became the end of cold weapons and the eternal legend of the cold weapon era. And Jingwen will not be called the terminator of cold weapons and the pioneer of hot weapons in later generations. (To be continued......)
