Chapter 65 Murderous Weapons

Chen Ying proudly explained to Li Jiancheng: "This knife is made of high manganese steel, and the minister dares to pat his chest to assure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that in this world, there will never be a sharper knife than it, which is the legendary divine weapon, and the cadre Mo Ye is in front of it, it is the scum......

Chen Yingpan did not brag, high manganese steel belongs to the punching and wear-resistant alloy steel, mainly used in quarrying, mining, excavation, coal industry, foundry and steel industry. Of course, it would never be an exaggeration to call it iron like mud, because high-manganese steel itself is the best tool for cutting steel. First of all, the hardness of high manganese steel is very high, it can reach 500 to 550 Brinell hardness, if converted to Rockwell hardness, it is between 50 and 55 Rockwell hardness, and the tensile strength of high manganese steel is extremely strong, which can reach 1,700 to 1,900 MPa.

Li Jiancheng was stunned and looked at the Mo knife in the hands of the fifty Mo knife players in front of him, the back of the Mo knife was very thick, like a heavy steel plate, but the blade was thinner than paper, the only difference was that the whole knife body was hey, even in the sun, it still did not reflect, but the blade was like snow, glowing with cold light, slowly circulating, cold and piercing cold light. Fifty Mo knife hands, neatly put away the Mo knife, the blade was raised, and once again made a counterattack, a cold and bloodthirsty majestic momentum suddenly appeared, which made people shudder.

Li Xiuning couldn't help but admire: "Good knife, good knife!" ”

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath of cold air, and his voice trembled slightly: "It's really a good knife, a big ring knife, a ring head knife, a horizontal knife, ......" Li Jiancheng wanted to compare the knife with the Mo knife in his head, and he had to admit that there was really no kind of knife that could be compared with the Mo knife.

Chen Ying was very proud, although the Mo knife was not his original, but according to historical records, the Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty was popular between Tang Gaozong (Li Zhi) and Tiaolu (679 AD to 680 AD) to the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. At first, the Modao was used to fight against the Turkic cavalry, and later it was popular in the armies to deal with the "Four Yis" of the Tang Dynasty, which was dominated by cavalry. In the Tang Dynasty, the perfect system of the festival made the army's equipment and training to be regularized, and the Mo knife became one of the main combat weapons of the Tang infantry, becoming a conventional equipment, and the establishment of the system made the towns recruit troops and horses, and established the cavalry of the middle and large universities, and the cavalry played an important role, which made the weapon of the restraint cavalry - the Mo knife was popular until the late Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying let the Mo knife appear sixty years in advance, of course, the Tang Dynasty Mo knife in history was cast from high-carbon steel, and Chen Ying used high-manganese steel as the material of the Mo knife, compared with high-carbon steel, the advantages of high-manganese steel are obvious, when it comes to impact resistance, high-manganese steel is more than three times that of high-carbon steel, that is, unless more than three times the impact force is used, the Modao will not break at all.

Chen Ying continued to show Li Jiancheng: "Mo Dao is the overlord of the sword, it inherits the majesty and arrogance of the former Han Dynasty, and will create unparalleled brilliance on the battlefield...... The Tang hoplites armed with Mo swords will become a nightmare for Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Khitan, Xue Yantuo and other tribes. ”

Li Jiancheng was very excited in his heart, Li Shi has the only Xuanjia iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, which is a heavy cavalry formed by the power of the Tang Dynasty, this cavalry follows the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, Xianbei Murong Yanguo established the armored cavalry, according to the "Song History, Yiwei Zhi": "The armor is also armored; Equipped, horse armor also. "The costume of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period is composed of six parts, namely the face curtain, the chicken neck, the chest, the horse body armor, the back, and the parasite. The curtain is a long, narrow metal shield with eye holes on it, which mainly protects the horse's face;

The chicken neck is actually a pair of armor on the neck of a horse, which is made of armor pieces and has a buckle on the front that can be fastened. When the chest, the horse body armor; After riding, it is a large piece of armor in the middle and back of the horse; Parasite, on the other hand, is more characteristic, and is an upturned broomstick-like thing placed on the horse's tail (which is supposed to protect the back of the cavalry). In addition, the only unit in the Tang Dynasty that modified the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups was the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, the armor of the Xuanjia cavalry samurai was changed from two-sided armor to Mingguang armor, and the fighting weapons of the cavalry were also changed from halberds to long-bladed horse spears - lances.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry shone in the Battle of Shallow Water Plateau, with only more than 1,500 cavalry, and defeated nearly two cavalry of Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Xue Renguo in the first battle. Although the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not large, far from being comparable to the Turkic cavalry, but the Turks do not dare to invade the Qinliang region, because they are really afraid of the fierce Xiliang cavalry, and in the same number, the Turkic cavalry is not the opponent of the Xiliang cavalry at all.

Li Jiancheng has long wanted to follow Li Shimin's example to form a heavy cavalry subordinate to the East Palace, but at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury was very tight, even if he had the heart, he did not have the financial resources, you must know that a Xuanjia cavalry, the equipment value is equivalent to twenty light cavalry, when there was no place to raise horses in the Tang Dynasty, this method could only be used to make up for this disadvantage, and now the Tang Dynasty has all the horse breeding places in Longxi, Hexi, and there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to use such expensive materials to equip such a gorgeous cavalry.

Looking at this small Modao team now, Li Jiancheng's mood was very excited, and Chen Ying said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, look at the Mingguang armor on their bodies, although it is the same as the ordinary Mingguang armor, but because they use high-manganese steel with stronger impact pressure as the armor blades, they have better defensive capabilities than the original Mingguang armor, and the frontal cuirass can only cause damage to it if they use a strong crossbow of more than three stones within thirty steps, however, at this distance, the three-stone strong crossbow has no chance to fire ......"

Li Jiancheng's eyes showed a green essence.

Li Xiuning looked at the Mingguang armor and said to Chen: "Such armor, you must give me a hundred sets." And Mo Dao, give me a hundred too! ”

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't speak for a long time, Li Xiuning thought to himself about the change of clothes of the guard, the prince must have taken advantage of the convenience of getting the moon first near the water, Chen Ying himself could not decide, and he must not be able to be responsible for such a large amount of financial resources. Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Then fifty ......"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "A hundred sets are enough, at least one personal guard Zhichong Mansion must be equipped." ”

Li Xiuning nodded, very satisfied.

Chen Ying said: "However, forget about the Mo knife, that thing is too heavy for the Women's Army!" ”

Li Xiuning showed a little girl who had never been revealed, pursed her lips and looked at Chen Ying fiercely.

Chen Ying was not in a hurry and waved at Chen Jinyong.

Chen Jinyong held a scabbard made of calfskin and handed it to Chen Ying, Chen Ying took the knife, pressed it on the handle, and his wrist was slightly forced, and a cold light poured out of the scabbard.

This knife is only three feet long, and the handle is nearly two feet long, much shorter and narrower than the Mo knife, but it is the same as the Mo knife, the whole body is dark, and it is slightly different from the horizontal knife.

Li Xiuning hurriedly snatched the long knife from Chen Ying's hand, and casually played a knife flower, and the sound of the blade breaking through the air was clear and long.

"Good knives!"

Li Xiuning said with a smile: "It's not light or heavy, it's definitely a terrible killing weapon." ”

As she spoke, Li Xiuning smiled at Chen Yingyan: "You are so good to me!" ”

Li Jiancheng saw that Li Xiuning was about to stick to Chen Ying, and couldn't help coughing: "This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk!" ”
