Chapter 19: The Scorpion Gate's Arsenal
"Dingding......
In the blazing blacksmith shop, the blacksmiths were busy and sweating, and weapons were formed in their hands.
"Door master, this is a weapon made of new iron."
Hu Er handed Lu Feng a sword that was ninety centimeters long, which was remarkable in the Warring States Period, bronze brittle and hard, and few bronze swords were more than sixty centimeters long. However, the Qin State among the Seven Kingdoms is different, according to the archaeological discoveries of later generations, the standard bronze sword of the Qin army is more than ten centimeters longer than the other six countries. It can be seen that the weapon manufacturing process of the Qin State far surpasses that of the Six Kingdoms, which is why Li Kai said that only the Qin State can create the weapons that Lu Feng wants after seeing the battle array before.
"Ding!"
Lu Feng flicked his fingers, and the sword in his hand broke in response, with Lu Feng's grandmaster-level internal force, if the weapon was not protected by other internal forces, even the weapon on the sword spectrum Lu Feng could break it.
"The proportions are still not perfect enough, tell these blacksmiths, keep experimenting, I want to get as close to perfect proportions as possible."
Lu Feng threw away the broken sword. He didn't know how to make glass and paper, but Lu Feng, who liked to watch documentaries very much, remembered a sentence. Steel can be made by mixing wrought iron with a certain amount of pig iron, which is the ancient steel filling method.
Steel, not iron, in this Warring States where bronze craftsmanship has developed to the limit, bronze weapons are not known to be much stronger than iron weapons that are easy to rust and soft. But in the strong bronze weapons, in front of the steel weapons are all scum, because the characteristics of bronze have been limited to death.
Therefore, Lu Feng asked Hu Er to recruit some blacksmiths to start making steel, but unfortunately, Lu Feng only remembered that sentence and did not know what the ratio of wrought iron to pig iron was, so the blacksmiths experimented for a long time, and no steel that Lu Feng was satisfied with.
"Door master, with the existing steel strength is enough, the training of the battle formation, the sooner you have weapons, the faster you can form, without weapons, after all, it is just a piece of paper."
Li Kai on the side didn't think so, the quality of these weapons was far beyond his imagination, he had been a soldier in South Korea, so he naturally knew what the weapons of the South Korean army were. When comparing the two, South Korea's weapons are scum.
"Okay, Hu Er, take a craftsman from here, recruit some people outside, and form the arsenal of our Scorpion Gate."
With the expansion of the Scorpion Gate, there will be more and more personnel, and it is not impossible to exceed 10,000. And the weapons of these 10,000 people cannot be sold by sale, so it is indispensable to form their own arsenal.
"Also, according to the current steel ratio, I need thirty spears, thirty beryllium (note: a long weapon of the army during the Warring States period, the prototype of the spear of later generations, but it looks more like the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty), fifty war knives."
Li Kai said, these are some of the weapons needed for the battle array, but unfortunately, there are many weapons that Lu Feng's arsenal can't make now.
The complete battle formation is:
There are three rows of strong crossbowmen in the front, and there are also three rows of strong crossbowmen in the rear, especially the last row of strong crossbowmen, they are facing the rear, so that whenever the enemy sneaks up from behind, this is the forward guard of the whole army battle. There are also several columns of soldiers holding weapons such as Ge on the left and right sides, and the outermost row is also facing outward, pay attention to the left and right sides, and there are also cavalry wandering on both sides, and the two are responsible for guarding both sides of the battle array.
In the middle are spearmen, chariots, berylliums and other troops, and this platoon can be transferred by the generals according to the situation. This is a kind of military formation used in field battles when the Qin State dominated the world in the later period.
And in later generations, archaeology found that the Qin army may have mastered the three-stage shooting, otherwise they would not have deliberately lined up three rows of strong crossbowmen.
This battle formation: Rock solid, if you want to rush over, you must go through the baptism of strong crossbowmen, then spearmen with spears up to four meters long, then beryllium soldiers with nearly three meters long, and then melee soldiers. If the battlefield conditions allow, there are still chariots, and the cavalry on the left and right sides is also a threat, and it is difficult to break through.
Attack: Invincible, the cavalry is cut off from the back, the crossbowmen are suppressed first, the chariot charges, and the soldiers behind keep up, and the modern infantry can fight together, you can tear your army apart in an instant, in ancient times, the army was chaotic, and your army was basically finished.
Therefore, this battle array was almost invincible in the field battles of the Warring States era, and Li Kai only had that shocked expression when he first saw it.
Like the army in the anime, all the soldiers of the Qin State use a kind of weapon, which is just simplified for convenience, and the Qin army wants to be like this, not to mention dominating the world, and it has long been wiped out by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
"Door master, the cavalry chariot is easy to say, but this strong crossbow must be had, and the sooner the better."
Li Kai only wants crossbows now, they are not marching to fight, cavalry and chariots, which are things on the battlefield, are not placed. But this strong crossbow is the core of the battle array, and without the strong crossbow, the entire military war is a plate of scattered sand.
"Can Korea get it?"
The strong crossbow is too complicated, and all kinds of small machines are simply not something that Lu Feng, a newly built arsenal, can make. However, Lu Feng remembered that South Korea was famous for its strong crossbows.
"No, South Korea has long forgotten how to make a strong crossbow."
Li Kai said with a sigh to himself, once as a general in South Korea, he really had nothing to do about South Korea's self-abandonment of martial arts, so he could only be angry.
"That's a pity, I'll get you some Qin crossbows later."
Lu Feng is also a little pity, but he remembers that according to the development of the anime plot, Win Zheng is also coming soon, and he can think about getting a batch of Qin crossbows when the time comes. That's no worse than Korea's.
"Yes, that subordinate will go and get busy first."
After Li Kai got the reply, he hurriedly ran away, since Lu Feng helped him find his daughter, Li Kai's loyalty to Lu Feng can be said to have increased to the level of die-hard loyalty. For the sake of the scorpion gate, he is busy now, and he basically has no free moment. After all, Lu Feng is a hands-off shopkeeper, and there is no one in the Scorpion Gate, so it's no wonder if he is not busy.
"The poison master has been very comfortable recently! I just don't know, has the night ordered it done? ”
The crow landed lightly on the eaves. Before the night, Lu Feng was asked to catch Li Kai.
"It was done, but it was smashed again."
Li Kai has now become his subordinate, how could Lu Feng hand it over?
"It seems that the poison master is planning to turn against the night."
Mo Crow was not surprised by this, no one knew Lu Feng's character better than him.
"The Emerald Tiger is already eyeing you, be careful!"
After saying that, the figure of the ink crow disappeared.
"Emerald Tiger, hehe!"
