Chapter 702: Griffin Plague (8)

"Kill!" Just as many of the Sunset Light Lance Dragoons disappeared from the place where they appeared and began to move to the rear of the dwarven warriors of the Holy Light Empire, countless Xiyi warriors wearing silver and bright samurai armor and ghost samurai masks stood up from the bushes, and these 30,000 Xiyi warriors who belonged to the Tengu Legion, the Shoyi Legion and the Guliu Legion were all equipped with extremely sharp katana swords under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, who had been following the Sunset Army on land for many years. Strike at the flanks of the Crucible Warriors of the Great Empire of Light.

War can always drive science and technology and give it the greatest source of impetus for its development. With the great empire of the sun never setting for more than 10 years of southern and northern wars, the great empire of the sun never sets has learned a lot of valuable experience from the military science and technology of various forces, and in the same way, under such circumstances, the varieties of weapons produced within the great empire of the sun have also evolved from the five categories of swords, shields, spears, bows, and halberds, such as hammers, axes, crossbows, etc., and among these many weapons, if you want to choose a variety is the weapon that Sun Lin himself is most satisfied with, Then Sun Lin would never choose the patterned steel sword manufactured in the Ancient Continent, let alone the new Mo forging crossbow produced by the Mo forging people, because the katana produced by the Xiyi people has become the first weapon recognized by the Sun Never Setting Empire.

It's not that the katana is so godly, after all, knife weapons can't compare to halberds in melee distance, axes and hammers in terms of armor-piercing power, and they are not as strong as sword and shield combinations in grappling, which can be seen from the fact that the sun never sets in the army of the great empire, or in the sword-shield combination or hammer-shield combination, but the problem is that the katana has no limitations!

This kind of weapon that can be forged to the level of a green steel knife with ordinary steel is not only able to sharpen iron like clay, but also its own weight is very light, as long as it is an ordinary type of katana, even an adult woman can wield it lightly, resulting in a katana can not only be tried and fought on land. Even naval warfare was possible, as can be seen from the fact that many Sailors who never set the sun and Saiyi gradually began to accept a new type of naval sword based on the blade of the katana and the handle of the pirate sword.

And most importantly, the katana inherited the consistent style of Xiyi products in terms of workmanship: because the original Xiyi Islands United Nations was very lacking in material resources, and most of them were obtained by looting, Xiyi craftsmen pursued to forge the best products with the least amount of raw materials when producing items, so under normal circumstances, the Xiyi side could use the raw materials that the sun never set to produce twice as many weapons, and these weapons could be compared with the sun never set in terms of quality.

In such a situation, in fact, Sun Lin already wanted to promote the katana as a secondary weapon in various troops, after all, the katana itself is not heavy. Equipping more and less with one does not have much impact on the number of movements of various soldiers, but unfortunately, because the combat style of the soldiers who do not set the sun is different from the combat style of the Xiyi people, it is impossible for the people of the sun to rush directly with a samurai sword with the courage of the Xiyi warriors, and more soldiers who do not set the sun often hope to attack the enemy with 7 points of force and 3 points of defense while fighting. This is also the reason why one-handed weapons and shields are still very popular in the sunset, so in the end, the two classes of the Sunset Crossbowman and the Sunset Longbow Guard are willing to accept the exchange of their swords for the fine katana. The rest of the Sunset classes, including the Reykja archers, were unable to accept katanas (although there were many other factors that contributed to this). For example, the Reykja archers are all tall giants of the Northern Continent, and their casserole-like fists are too small to use a katana with a very small hilt).

But it's not a complete failure. Because in addition to the two major arms of the three long-range arms that never set on the sun, in fact, as a non-second-line unit of the Sunset Empire, it can also be regarded as a samurai sword that is also chosen by the militia troops or the soldiers of the baggage troops of the Sunset Empire, so the equipment configuration of most of the Sunset militia units is not steel inlaid armor, shields and spears. It is a simplified version of the samurai light armor plus a katana with a production process of about the middle grade.

Many facts and circumstances have proved the benefits of the katana, and this time in the battle against the Great Empire of Divine Light, the katana from Xiyi proved their terrifying armor-piercing power: to be exact, this also proves the perfection of the 30,000 Xiyi samurai.

Due to the needs of the battle, all the Notai swords used by the Tengu Legion this time were switched to standard katanas. The Shinto monks and soldiers who were also the ancient legions also abandoned the scythe guns used by the previous ancient schools and switched to the katana used by the bushido samurai, but these two weapons did not sharply reduce the combat effectiveness of the Xiyi warriors of the two legions, and under the rush of these Xiyi soldiers wearing samurai armor, the furnace warriors on the side of the Holy Light Empire were all killed by the tragic death of their bodies being cut in two by the katana after these crazy Xiyi warriors discovered the gap between the super-heavy plates.

After all, although these dwarven warriors are not as afraid of the slightly terrifying shape of the warrior armor as human soldiers, they can't accept that a human whose body is several times weaker than themselves can actually cut their one-piece armor in two with the seemingly non-threatening weapon in their hands under their noses. The questioning of the dwarven forging technique, which is known as the first forging technique on the King Continent, is equivalent to destroying a person's faith.

The dwarven side fell into a brief chaos, and the side of the sun never set did not give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs, with the full cooperation of Oda Nobunaga and Bobby, the side of the sun did not set on its side of the army on the third side of the Holy Light Empire began to squeeze the battle line, making the already dense battle array of the Holy Light Empire even more crowded. At the same time, the longbow guards on the side of the sun once again showed their powerful archery skills: a rain of arrows formed under the hands of the longbow guards, and these arrows poured down like a black waterfall on the dwarven forged warriors who had been crushed in battle, causing the dwarven forged warriors to fall one by one in despair.

But at this moment, an eagle cry like a lion's roar came to the ears of everyone on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
