Chapter 1050: Mutual Cut
"Thousands of handles made in a month?!" Belus was taken aback and froze there, thinking that he had misheard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Hongsheng laughed and confirmed: "This is still an ordinary time. If the army is in urgent need of equipment, the workshop will work in shifts day and night, and nearly 10,000 handles can be built in a month. ”
Xia Hongsheng's words inevitably have some exaggerated elements. In reality, however, it's not much different.
Datang's assembly line is becoming more and more mature, from steelmaking to forging to the final product, which is indeed very fast. This kind of weapon made of 100 steels will be faster to build. But naturally, it's not purely the earlier hundred steels. Otherwise, how can you get up quickly?
It's just that it has to be sold to Persia and other neighboring countries, and it can't be the same as the weapons currently equipped in the Tang Army, so although it is also a new type of steel, it can be deliberately not perfect when making steel. The quality of these weapons is far inferior to the weapons equipped in the current army of Datang, but compared with the original hundred steel, it is about the same, slightly better.
This kind of weapon made of steel, which is inferior to the weapons that are now standard in the Tang Army, and is of higher quality compared to the earlier hundred steels, is specially used to sell to countries other than the Tang Dynasty, and is not used in the Tang Dynasty itself. This enabled Datang to continue to maintain its absolute advantage.
Even so, the steel used by Datang to make weapons for takeaway is still much better than the weapons originally used by other countries - the weapons made by Datang's original 100 steels are already treasures in their eyes.
The soldiers who performed today's drill have long lances, swords, steel crossbows, and armor in their hands...... It is made of this specially delivered steel.
Belus marveled, staring at the horizontal knife in his hand for another moment. Then he suddenly turned back and gestured to his attendant.
His attendant hurried over, and saw Belus take a short blade from his waist and give it to the attendant.
The squire took the short blade, pulled it out of its holster, and then held it horizontally, the blade pointing upwards towards the sky.
Looking at the skillful appearance of this squire, it can be seen that Belus often comes to try his sword like this.
This short knife is not ordinary at first glance, and it is not only hand-carved at first glance, but also inlaid with gold and precious stones, which is just gorgeous. What Xia Hongsheng saw was the blade, on which the interweaving of light and darkness was clearly visible, and on the black blade, bright and snow-like markings were mixed in, like a night sky full of stars.
Uzi Steel!
Xia Hongsheng recognized the texture of Belus's short knife at a glance.
"Good knives!" Xia Hongsheng praised loudly: "The best Uzi steel! ”
When Belus heard Xia Hongsheng's words, he couldn't help but look back in surprise: "Brother Xia also likes weapons? Otherwise, how can you recognize this as Uzi steel at a glance? Hahahaha, this is a piece of good Uzi steel round cake that Xiao Wang got from Tianzhu, and after returning to Persia, it took the best blacksmith in Persia half a year to make it! ”
"This knife is not ordinary." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Hehe, presumably His Royal Highness the Prince used this short knife to try and break a lot of weapons?" ”
Belus smiled faintly, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed, and said: "The sharpness of this knife is rare in the world. Xiao Wang didn't dare to say that he could cut off all the other sword soldiers, but so far, there was no weapon that he couldn't cut. ”
Xia Hongsheng also smiled and stopped talking.
Belus looked at Xia Hongsheng and thought that Xia Hongsheng no longer spoke, because he felt that he used this short knife to try that horizontal knife, and that horizontal knife would definitely lose, so he didn't speak. So he explained: "Xiao Wang has no other weapons at hand, so he can only use this knife to try." Hearing that the Xue Yantuo countries around the Tang Dynasty had all bought weapons from the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang was really curious. Please ask Brother Xia for forgiveness! ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The countries of Xue Yantuo are mainly nomadic, so they are far behind the Tang Dynasty in terms of iron smelting and forging steel, so they bought weapons from the Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness the Prince does not need to be seen. However, His Royal Highness the Prince has this excellent Uzi steel knife in his hand, but I am afraid that this horizontal knife will not be enough. ”
Belus smiled and stood on tiptoe, with a very strong confidence in his eyes, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Xiao Wang's knife is extraordinary, and when an ordinary sword encounters, it will be broken." However, in Xiao Wang's opinion, this weapon is extremely well forged, and Xiao Wang's short knife is estimated to be cutting this weapon this time. ”
Although the words were modest, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
Xia Hongsheng just laughed, took a step back, and asked Belus to test the knife.
He also wanted to see which of the improved 100 steels was superior to the famous Uzi steel in history. If the improved 100 steels can surpass the Uzi steel, then the new steel will not be to mention.
Belus's servant walked across from Belus, knelt down on one knee, and held his sword tightly in both hands.
Belus took a deep breath and raised his horizontal knife high.
"Hah!" Belus took a few long breaths, and then suddenly he screamed violently, and his hand seemed to have a thousand forces to smash down, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed heavily at the short blade.
His servant also rose from the ground with a thud, and the short blade in his hand slashed upwards with all his might, meeting the horizontal knife in Belus's hand.
Only a dull metal clang was heard, and the two of them actually pushed a few steps away, which showed the great force of the two.
Qi Yong craned his neck to look there, and Ma Zhou and Wang Xuance also hurriedly looked there.
Xia Hongsheng didn't have any waves in his heart, because he knew that Wuzi Steel and Datang's original 100 steels basically belonged to the same grade, even if it was carefully built, at most it could only be on par with Qi Yong's horizontal knife, or slightly better. It is absolutely impossible to break it apart.
"Ahura Mazda!" Belus screamed suddenly.
Xia Hongsheng grinned. Others didn't understand, but Xia Hongsheng knew the word. When it comes out of Belus's mouth, the meaning is basically equivalent to "I drop a god"!
But he saw Belus suddenly turn his head, staring at Xia Hongsheng with burning eyes, licked his tongue, hooked his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Brother Xia...... Brother Xia just said......"
Belus licked his tongue again, paused, looked down at the horizontal knife in his hand again, suppressed his excitement, and continued: "This kind of weapon is an ordinary equipment in the Tang Army, and it can be built with thousands of handles in a month?!" ”
Belus's reaction was within Xia Hongsheng's expectations, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Yes, that's what I said below." His Royal Highness the Prince, this is ......"
"Brother Xia, look!" Belus snatched the short knife from his attendant's hand in his hand, and then handed the short knife and Qi Yong's horizontal knife to Xia Hongsheng.
