Chapter 32 (1/2)

Zhu Yuntai took over the drawings and looked at them. He found that they were three kinds of weapons. Each detail was drawn very carefully, with detailed instructions attached.

Three kinds of weapons are mo Dao, three bow bed crossbow, return gun. In some ways, they represent the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.

The first is mo Dao, which has been verified by historians. It is believed that this kind of long handled heavy-duty sword originated from the Sui Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful cold weapon in human history.

It is recorded in Volume 16 of the six classics of the Tang Dynasty that ”Mo Dao, a long sword, is held by infantry. It is a kind of ancient chopping horse. It weighs 15 Jin. It is also known as a machete. It is seven feet long, its blade is three feet long, and its handle is four feet long. Ma Bu waterway is available. A strong man holds it and cuts with his waist. All the people who block it are made of vermicelli... ”

In the Tang Dynasty, 1 jin was equivalent to 0.66 kg in modern times, and 15 kg in Tang Dynasty, equivalent to about 10 kg now. In other words, the Modao of Tang Dynasty is a kind of long handle sword with a total weight of about 10 kg.

How powerful is this weapon? It is said that every time Li Siye, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, wields a strange sword, it can make the cavalry of the enemy who come to attack him ”smash both men and horses”! The cavalry he killed included ordinary light cavalry and heavy cavalry with armor on both men and horses.

The short sword used by the Romans was just a small toy in front of the Mo Dao in the Tang Dynasty. Japanese samurai Dao, Nepalese cutlass and Damascus Dao can not be compared with the Modao of Tang Dynasty.

The second is the three bow bed crossbow, which appeared in the Song Dynasty. According to research, it is the strongest long-range weapon in the age of cold weapons. The chisel arrow launched by this crossbow has a range of more than 1500 meters, which is the largest range of cold weapons before the artillery was produced. The energy for firing chisel and arrow is provided by three strong bows, which are installed on a base called ”bed”. Therefore, the name of this weapon is ”three bow bed crossbow”.

In 1131 A.D., the song army led by song general Wu Zhen used three bow and bed crossbows to deal with the Armored Cavalry of the general Wushu of the Jin Dynasty, killing the dead soldiers of the Jin army everywhere and achieving a rare victory in the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.

The arrow launched by the three bow bed crossbow can shoot the gold cavalry in heavy armour at a distance of 1000 meters. Its power is extremely terrifying. In the early Song Dynasty, during the battle of Song Ping and Southern Han Dynasty, when the army led by Pan Mei of Song Dynasty confronted the South Han Army in Shaozhou, pan Mei's song army also used the three bow bed crossbow to launch huge arrows to defeat the heavily armed battle elephant soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Southern Han Dynasty had an elite army of war elephants. The elephants were covered with thick body armor and could not be hurt by ordinary bows and arrows.

However, the heavy arrows launched by the three bow and bed crossbow of the song army could easily penetrate the armor of the war elephants and kill them.

The third kind of weapon is Huihui gun, which was invented by alaowadin and yisimain of the western regions. It played a key role in the process of Mongolia's extinction of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is claimed that it can smash a 150 kg stone 300 meters away, and it is the most powerful stone throwing machine in the cold weapon era.

When the Mongolian army besieged Xiangyang, the gun was deployed in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City. The huge stone it fired hit the qiaolou on the wall of Xiangyang City, ”the sound is like thunder, shaking the city.”. The city is turbulent, and many of the generals surpass the city. ” Lu Wenhuan, the song general defending Xiangyang City, knew that he was invincible, so he accepted the city and surrendered.

With the return artillery, the Mongolian army had an absolute advantage when fighting against the song army on land: in the field, the song army, which was mainly composed of infantry, was not the opponent of the Mongolian army on horseback; the song army could not rely on the strong city to resist the Mongolian army's attack, because even the high and thick wall was as fragile as paper in front of the return artillery.

In the late period of the yuan and song war, the song army also imitated Huihui gun to fight back, but at this time the general situation was gone and the end of the Song Dynasty's demise could not be retrieved.

This is the assassin's mace prepared by Qin Feng. As long as these three weapons appear in the army and are equipped in batches, Zhao Yuanjin's army will have an unquestionable advantage. With strong logistics support, it will not be too easy to attack cities and areas.

Due to the warning of starship, he could no longer use modern weapons such as guns at will, but this did not prevent him from looking for a more suitable weapon for Zhao Yuanjin to compete in the world. In the era of information explosion, it's too easy to access relevant materials. If you can't find all the things on the Internet, you can also go to the large library.

In fact, in this era, heavy knives, bed crossbows, and large catapults have appeared, but the power range is not as good as the peak of the three cold weapons era. Now that Qin Feng has searched and completed their information and handed it to Zhao Yuanjin, it will not arouse the special vigilance of the will of the world.

Zhu Yuntai's face became more and more dignified. He had genuine talent and learning, and had been in the imperial court for a long time. Naturally, he could see the horror of these three weapons.

”Young master, although this sharp weapon is good, it costs a lot of money, and it's not easy to make it. I'm afraid it can't be used at all in order to save your family's wealth.” He couldn't help questioning.

In the era of steel production, it will not cost much to produce high-quality steel at a low price. As for the cost of the three bow crossbow and the return gun, even if the imperial court wants to manufacture and use these three sharp weapons on a large scale, the pressure on the Treasury is very large.

”With me, the governor will not be short of silver and good steel, so all your worries are unnecessary.” Qin Feng light tunnel.Zhu Yuntai looked at him suspiciously, only to feel that the young master was more and more enigmatic in his own eyes.

However, when Zhao Yuanjin was trapped in Jingnan county more than two months ago, the original city was broken only in the middle of the night, but somehow he came back to life. Later, he killed the general of Mengluo by mysterious means, forcing the imperial army to retreat.

After that, Zhao Yuanjin has been victorious, and every war that he is not optimistic about can end in victory, and Feng Qingyun can not hold his head because of his inferior forces. All kinds of miracles seem to confirm the rumor that there is an expert under the governor.
