Chapter 167: Casting the Dragon Lance
There is no problem at all with what Sun Liu said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he is not a martial artist, as a blacksmith, he has also dealt with all kinds of weapons all his life.
"Katana swords are more effective than stabs because of their length. But the spear is different. Isn't the purpose of using a spear to keep your enemies at arm's length? Especially if you're using a gun that's longer than the average person. Sun Liu said, "Since your spear is long enough, as long as the spike can pierce it." Bamboo guns can also kill people! You're using a gun, not a nagita. ”
Maeda Toshiya sighed and said, "Having said that, after all, we can't compare to ordinary ashigaru as military generals. They only wore ordinary bamboo armor, and it was naturally no problem to use bamboo guns. Our opponents tend to wear ornate armor, and if the spear is not strong enough, it will be difficult to pierce them. And if they can't get in, or if they stab it off, when they get close, it's very dangerous for us to use guns. ”
Sun Liu nodded and said, "You have a point, but my specialty is crafting katanas, and if I really want to cast spears, I'm afraid it's not that professional." How to make the tip of a gun both light and sharp has always been a difficult problem. ”
Hearing this, Gao Xianda's mind flashed, and he said, "If I have a ready-made spear tip here, can you help transform the spear old man?" ”
As he spoke, Gao Xianda took out the dragon horn that he had broken.
The horn was not long, less than 20 centimeters, and the main trunk was a sharp tip that changed from thick to thin. And unlike antlers, which have many forks, only a short transverse fork grows at the root of the trunk.
The tip of the trunk is so sharp that even the hard skull of a Japanese dragon can pierce through it. Against ordinary armor, there must be no problem.
It's simply perfect for making a gun tip.
After Sun Liu glanced at it, even he was stunned and speechless.
"What is this?" Sun Liu finally asked, it seemed that his silence was due to ignorance.
But it's normal that he hasn't seen this kind of thing, and anyone can see a dragon like a creature.
"Well, a genius treasure." Gao Xianda said simply.
"Genius Treasure." Sun Liu smiled, "It is indeed a genius treasure, I'm afraid this is...... Dragon's horn, right? ”
Sun Liu was not so ignorant, he actually guessed.
Gao Xianda could only nod.
"Sure enough!" Sun Liu also laughed, "Although I haven't seen a real dragon, I've still seen someone who writes pictures." When I saw it, I already felt like it. I didn't expect it to feel like this when I got it in my hands. Looking at your bearing, you look like a big person, and you have the left text of Zongsan in your hand, I should have guessed that you are the true master of the Imagawa family. This time you brought the dragon horns, it seems that you are indeed a dragon slayer warrior! ”
Unexpectedly, the news had already spread from Mikawa to Mino. However, the version may be slightly different.
In the official version of Three Rivers, Goxianda is a dragon rider. However, it may be because of the dragon horns that he has now become a dragon slayer.
But it doesn't matter. Dragon riding and dragon slaying are the same, which can only show that Gao Xianda is a legend.
The only person on the field who may feel embarrassed is Linlin, because she is the dragon. But looking at her expression, she didn't seem to care. It seems that she is happy to donate two horns after becoming a dragon.
It's as if she's just a lemon tree with sour lemons, and the purpose of her transformation is to provide lemons.
Gao Xianda nodded to Sun Liu and said, "You see it right, I am the Imagawa clan." I came out more secretly this time, and I hope that the old gentleman can help keep it secret. ”
"Don't worry." Sun Liu said, "In this life, it is already my old luck to be able to meet such a magnanimous person as you. This dragon horn of yours is very good, don't worry, I will help you transform it into a long spear. ”
A long spear is mainly divided into two parts, the tip and the barrel.
The tip of the spear is naturally made of this dragon horn. Although Maeda Toshiya is not used to using the spear in his hand, the barrel of this gun is still made of fine wood, and it is very long.
Now the core part is complete.
Sun Liu trimmed the root of the dragon horn with a hacksaw, and then polished it with a small file to make it relatively smooth.
He had ready-made inlaid nails in his hand, one end in the dragon's horn, the other in the stick, and a horizontal dowel.
The end of the wooden stick is easy to solve, and the dragon horn is very hard, in order to drill a small hole, it took Sun Liu two good drill bits.
Even so, he was worried that it was not strong enough. So Sun Liu wrapped the joint between the tip of the gun and the wooden pole with a thin iron sheet, and then lit the furnace, smelted the molten gold, and poured a layer of metal on it.
Anyway, after going through a few more processes that even Gao Xianda couldn't understand, the big gun was cast.
The barrel of the gun is still the original barrel, and even the decoration and pattern on it have not changed. But what is rare is that this pattern can be extended all the way up and blend with the tip of the gun.
In other words, the tip of the spear now looks as if it had a forked sharp tip growing out of the long stick.
Only the cold chill on the dragon's horns showed its incomparable sharpness.
And Sun Liu is worthy of being a senior old blacksmith, and he also reweighted this gun, which is neither like the original heavy head and light tail, nor will it cause the gun to be heavy and light because of the removal of the gun head. The counterweight of the entire spear is integrated and pressed against the center point, so that it can rotate smoothly.
"How about you take a look? What else needs to be improved based on your usage habits? Sun Roku handed over the spear to Maeda Toshiya.
As soon as Maeda Toshiya got his hands on it, he felt that this gun was different. Although the rod is still the original rod, the whole aura in the hand is different.
So Maeda Toshiya walked out the door, walked into the backyard, and practiced a set of marksmanship in the open space.
His set of guns is very different from his previous fighting style. Gao Xianda could feel that with this set of marksmanship alone, he relied on the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife to rush forward, which was given for nothing.
When Maeda Toshiya danced, there seemed to be a streamer flashing on his body, and when he was about to finish, his big gun swept away, bringing a wave of qi, and then twisted his body and stabbed out, and the streamer on the body of the gun condensed together, forming a dragon shape on his gun, and then flew out along the tip of the gun.
This dragon turned out to be not just light and shadow, but an entity, and it suddenly flew into the anvil that Sun Liu used to strike iron in the distance.
The anvil had been forged with a hammer and roasted by a freshly baked ingot, and had long since become unfriendly and unusually hard. Rarely, it's still very heavy.
But Maeda Toshiya's dragon-shaped energy actually melted this anvil into a big hole, and then an explosion occurred from its inside, blowing the anvil to pieces.
