Chapter 232: Jian'an IV
At this time, the banquet was originally in the atrium of the General's Mansion, and after Pang Tong got Bai Tu's approval, he immediately summoned several wrestlers, some carrying boxes of knives, some holding bamboo, and some carrying iron sand......
"Meet my lord." Several wrestlers saluted Bai Tu.
"No, let me see the sword, the Ministry of Industry is going to offer the sword!" Bai Tu said.
"Whoa!"
At the moment, the two wrestlers stood in the atrium, facing Bai Tu's position, and the civil and military staff on both sides also looked at it curiously.
I saw one person erect the bamboo, and the other poured iron sand into it, and after filling it up, a third man came forward with a typical Han knife, with a long, straight blade and a ring on the handle.
The sword-wielding wrestler raised the knife above his head, and then slashed at the bamboo filled with iron sand, and slashed it diagonally with both hands......
Click...... Whoa......
The bamboo was split out of the oblique fracture in response, and the iron sand inside also poured out.
Immediately after that, it was brought on with new bamboo, which is a traditional craft to test the sword, using bamboo to test the sharpness and iron sand to test the toughness!
Six times in a row, the bamboo filled with iron sand was broken, and the seventh time, it was finally overwhelmed that it was only embedded, but not broken.
Pang Tong took the Han knife at this time, holding it in both hands and offering it to Bai Tu - it could be seen that it was already scarred, and it was obviously not because of the exhaustion of the wrestlers that he did not cut the seventh one.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary infantry with knives are also a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and it is impossible to have such a chance to split, this is just a test process, and it is generally qualified to break three bamboos.
The civil and military staff below, when they saw the knife of the Ministry of Works, even broke six bamboos, they all issued bursts of praise, including Sima Lang, who also deliberately exclaimed a few times, but ...... It's all in vain!
Cao Cao, who has mastered most of the Central Plains, can only be equipped with such a sophisticated weapon if he is the army on the front line and the elite of the first echelon.
But...... That's all!
originally thought that Pang Tong had been talking for a long time and was going to come up with something good......
Such a sword, if it is good, it is good, but it is ...... 300 pairs of such swords, equipped for the pro-guard tiger ben, but it is not worth paying too much attention to.
It's just that because of Pang Tong's face, everyone still let out a voice of amazement, and their acting skills are better than the other, as if they have seen the Longquan Sword and the cadre Mo Xie.
Only the generals who led the troops looked at these people strangely at this time.
"As you can see, this is the ring-handled saber that our army was equipped with before." Pang Tong said sullenly at this time.
The previous praise came to an abrupt end.
The other generals who led the troops snickered secretly, they had already seen it.
Many people are even tighter...... I put my mind at ease later-it's good that Gan Ning isn't here, otherwise that guy might not be able to say anything mean!
Sima Lang frowned slightly at this time, although he quickly expanded, but he was a little worried in his heart: before...... Well, "before"...... That is, this is for comparison?
And...... Listening to this, a saber of this level is standard in the army of the General's Palace? It can't be bragging, right?
"Ahem, no wonder it's so sophisticated, it turned out to be our army's previous equipment, hahaha......" Many people laughed dryly and gave themselves a step.
Pang Tong didn't taunt anyone, but continued to let Lux move in a box containing Han knives - inside were all this brand new ring-handled knives.
At the same time, Pang Tong personally took over a black knife with a knife grid in front of the handle, the blade is longer than the ring-handled knife, and it is more curved, but the width is similar to the ring-handled knife!
At this time, most of the literati could also carry a knife, just like Lu Su...... I always felt that if he didn't wear armor and fight hand-to-hand, his "cousin" was really not his opponent.
The same is true for Pang Tong, although there is no military talisman, but his strength is definitely not less than that of ordinary elite soldiers.
The civil and military staff, who were still a little disappointed just now, looked forward to it again at this time - since it was a comparison with the ring-handled knife, then ...... How many bamboos can the new war knife break?
This time, however...... There was no iron-filled bamboo tube to lift up, but a wrestler next to him picked up a ring-handled knife and sideways the knife in front of Pang Tong.
I saw Pang Tong holding the war knife and swinging it with a knife, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the ring-handled knife in front of him was cut off under the new war knife!
Not to mention that the audience was shocked, and Pang Tong had no intention of ending, and immediately there was another wrestler on the side, who also walked to the same position and posed in the same position with a ring-handled knife......
Pang Tong also swung the knife again, and the crisp breaking sound sounded again, and after a flash of cold light, only half of the severed blade remained, "fluttering" on the ground.
This is followed by the third and fourth cuts...... Until the seventh knife, the wrestler who went down with a knife and the horizontal knife couldn't hold it, and the blade hit the ground and couldn't cut it.
After Pang Tong also put away the knife, he held it with both hands and dedicated it to Bai Tu to watch.
Even if it is a high-carbon steel knife edge, there are already a few collapsed blades at this time, and the blade wrapped in low-carbon steel also has some fine cracks, but it can be seen that this saber actually still has combat effectiveness - the seventh ring-handled knife just now has actually been cut off in half!
Just now, when he was chopping again and again, many people showed distressed eyes.
Although the sword is forged to be used in battle, it ...... In a normal battle, how can a soldier have so many situations of slashing with all his might again and again?
is obviously a good 100-for-100 steel knife, but it is actually hard to break its sharpness......
But after thinking about it, listen to Pang Tong's meaning, such a sword ...... And three hundred?
How many blacksmiths in the Ministry of Industry can complete the casting of 100 steel knives so many times?
Judging from the actual situation, even if this sword does not have a hundred refinements, there are dozens of refinements, right?
It seems that Cao Pi is even more solemn at this time, and Sima Lang on the side is already glaring at him vaguely and reminding him.
While Sima Lang was surprised by the sophistication of the new war knife in the General's Mansion, he was also a little puzzled - this could not be Pang Tong's whim, it must have been Bai Tu's instructions......
So why did the General's Mansion openly show that it had not yet equipped the whole army with a new combat knife on such an occasion? Now not only him, but also many envoys sent by other princes to watch the Nine Tin Ceremony, is it ...... Is it just for deterrence?
"Good! Shi Yuan gave me and the tiger ben a surprise! Bai Tu said.
Saying that, Bai Tu directly called the three hundred tiger ben - now they are not only Bai Tu's personal guards, but also the nine tin tiger bens given by the emperor, theoretically even in the capital, they can be stubborn.
Pang Tong has already brought three hundred pairs of swords, and the equipment on the spot has been given to these guards, even if there are some guards, who usually use long weapons, but they also have spare interfaces, connected to the short soldiers - their task is to protect the white map, once the enemy approaches, the white-knuckle battle must also rush up to block the sword......
The only two exceptions are Lu Lingqi and Tai Shi Ci - Lu Lingqi's short sword, which was also given to her by Lu Bu, belongs to the real divine blade, which is stronger than the standard saber mass-produced by this assembly line, and Tai Shi Ci also has a short halberd that can be used for melee combat, which is also produced by the Ministry of Industry, and it is custom-made, a real hundred steel.
I saw that this originally black saber, after being loaded on the armor of the other guards, was three points longer, and at the same time, at the blade, when the general exerts his strength, it will show a bright silver light, and it will be very bright to wield!
Bai Tu has long been surprised, the same weapon, after loading the battle armor, will become more powerful and more "abnormal".
"This knife has no name, please name it." Pang Tong said at this time.
The name must be given, otherwise Bai Tu is estimated to be called "Bai Gongdao" in a few days.
"Can this sword equip the whole army?" Bai Tu asked.
"In terms of production capacity, within three years, it can cover more than seventy percent of the army...... In addition, within three years, there will definitely be better weapons, and then the main force will definitely eliminate the next batch of old models, which should be enough to equip the whole army. Pang Tong said.
"Good! In that case, you don't need a name, just a number...... Since it is equipped in the fourth year of Jian'an, it is called the 'Jian'an Four' saber. Bai Tu said.
The two sang and harmonized, and said the most crucial point - this is not only not a treasure sword, but even not only can equip 300 personal soldiers, but also ...... It is a universal weapon that is meant to cover the entire army and replace the ring-handled knife!
It's just the name "Jian'an IV...... No, it should be said that it is numbered, and you can see Bai Tu's positioning of these "treasure knives", which is a standard weapon, and at the same time, you can also see his ambition.
While the audience was in an uproar, Zhang Zhao, who served as the head of the household department, couldn't help but get up and ask: "Lord, this knife is strong, but ...... Pretty expensive, right? The previous ring-handled knife is also a war knife that has been used by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and I look at the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Engineering, and the use of ring-handled knives is enough to surpass the enemy, not to mention such a large-scale redress, isn't the previous ring-handled knife a waste? The coverage rate of the keel waterwheel that the lord has in mind ......"
Zhang Zhao didn't want to cry poor, but ...... The household is indeed not rich!
Although the salt tax now, as well as the Shu brocade, glaze and other rare trader taxes, can be collected, the income of the household department has surged...... But it can't stand more white picture flowers.
"Zibu is too worried, the ring-handled knives that have been replaced are indeed elite blades, don't forget that on the road to the Kuangfu Han family, we still have allies like Prime Minister Cao, I believe ...... Prime Minister Cao Cheng will be interested in these ring-handled knives that have been replaced. Bai Tu said and looked at Sima Lang.
This time Xu Du came to preside over the awarding of Jiuxi, Bai Tu didn't know, and he was not a subordinate official of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but a courtier of the Han Dynasty, Bai Tu estimated that he was not Cao Cao's henchman, so Bai Tu looked at Sima Lang as the "Prime Minister's History".
Before Sima Lang could speak, Cao Bang on the side hurriedly said: "Bai Gong, I think my uncle will be more interested in this ...... 'Jian'an Four'." ”
Bai Tu looked at him with a smile and said, "Well, it will be sold, and it will be sold in the future." ”
Cao Bang looked at Bai Tu's smile, bit his lip, and wanted to punch it up - yes! Co-authored you sold us a "worn-out" ring-handled knife, and then made money to build "Jian'an IV"? Will it still be sold...... Do you have to wait, Jian'an 6 and Jian'an 7 come out and sell it?
Lu Lingqi on the side frowned slightly, always feeling that this kid from the Cao family looked ...... Weird?
