Li Mu has been thinking about what kind of weapon the Independent Group has built these days. Although his idea of ​​"Berserkers Legion" has been pointed out by Li Daliang in all kinds of shortcomings and deficiencies. But that's how people are. Once they have thoughts, they will never forget them.

If you never forget it, there will be a resounding response. Before going to bed these few days, Li Mu would close his eyes and look around the vast drawings of the system. Of course, he understood that according to Li Daliang, the weapon that should be chosen is a horse spear. The horse spear is divided into two parts: the spear tip and the spear pole. The spear tip blade is half a meter long, which is far longer than ordinary guns and spear weapons. Because of its unique armor-breaking edge structure, it takes into account the "armor-breaking" attributes. Experts use it to find the right opportunity to continue with one move, and often make people and horses feel cool.

However, horse lances are not without shortcomings. The production process of horse lances is complex, and the rods are usually made of mulberry wood. The spruce is the best product of mulberry wood, and the number is rare. A good horse lance rod is made of fine ruce rods soaked in oil and dried, and bonded with fish sponge glue. Then wrap the hemp rope horizontally, and tied into the spruce rod, causing the horizontal force, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it with kudzu cloth to form a whole spruce rod.

The most important thing about a horse lance rod is the ability to bending and rebound and instantly restore the rigidity and softness. They are also tuftwood, but not every tuftwood can achieve this characteristic, and the failure rate is extremely high. One horse lance rod is made on average, and the tuftwood wood abandoned due to failure is enough to make ten strong bows. Therefore, only generals can use horse lances in front of the two armies. If a horse lance is standard for a legion, its cost is not something that any country in the world can afford.

It is also for this reason that when Li Daliang talked to Li Mu about weapons, he only said that one inch long and one inch stronger, but did not specify the use of a horse spear. In his opinion, even if he armed 300 people, it would be impossible to equip a horse spear.

Li Mu once thought about this problem seriously. He is not unable to afford the money for three hundred horse lances. It just takes a long time to make these three hundred horse lances. Insufficient materials are a problem that cannot be solved in a short period of time.

But the most fundamental reason is his idea of ​​"Berserkers Legion".

If he hadn't wanted a "Berserkers Legion", he wouldn't have let Li Chongyi pick people according to his own appearance. The five hundred Tunwei selected were all reduced versions of Li Chongyi.

Such a configuration is actually not good. The army of this era emphasizes the strong infantry and the agile cavalry. Li Mu happened to do it in reverse. He used a cavalry to use a strong man, and lost the agility that the cavalry relied most.

After struggling for a few days, Li Mu decided to follow his original intention.

It is still a "Berserkers' Legion". The function of horses is no longer agile pulling, but a quick delivery of troops. When fighting, first use a crossbow to shoot for a round, take advantage of the chaos of the enemy. Then ride a horse into the enemy's formation and cut melons and vegetables.

To achieve such a goal, two types of support are needed. The first is defense. If the cavalry rushes into the enemy camp, if they still wear leather armor, they will definitely be shot into hedgehogs. Therefore, they need "plate armor". These soldiers are all strong men, so there is no need to worry about not being able to hold on. Moreover, horses are mainly used to quickly rush into the enemy formation, and they dismount when they enter the enemy formation, which does not consume much horsepower.

In addition to "plate armor", a weapon suitable for melee combat is needed.

Li Mu first considered the double axe used by Li Chongyi, but he later denied it. The double axe is not wielded by ordinary people. Although these soldiers are not strong enough, they do not have the divine power like Li Chongyi. If they swing a few times, they will lose their strength and fall into the formation. The second is the saber-killing saber, but he imagined the combat environment. The sharp blade is thin and crisp, and it is easy to break or roll the blade, and it is rejected by him again.

After a few days of thinking, Li Mu finally found what he wanted.

Mace!

This is a weapon that is very suitable for reckless men. It is almost useless to use any moves. If you have strength, just swing it. It is very simple to build. Other weapons need to be quenched several times, forged hundreds of times, and maces are not needed. You only need to cast a mold and pour in iron juice to solidify. You can make it in batches in a short time.

The mace is not afraid of weapons collisions. Any weapon that cuts on an iron lump with thorns all over the body will definitely not be able to get a bargain.

Li Mu found an intermediate drawing of a mace in the system, called [Pi Li Fire]. There is nothing strange about the shape, but the spike part has been introduced with the design of a bleed slot, which breaks the armor and bleeds. As long as it is swept, it will either die or be injured.

In addition, this [Thunder Fire] also has a mechanical design similar to Li Chongyi's giant axe. A single mace is one meter two, connected with a mechanical mace, and becomes a two-meter four-meter two-headed mace. It rushes into the enemy's formation and comes with a "big windmill". You can imagine what kind of scene it will be.

After several comparisons, it was finally confirmed that it was this [Pi Li Fire]. What Li Mu had to do today was to tinker with a mold and then try to make a mace to see the effect.

Li Mu's warehouse has almost all kinds of materials.

The process of making cast iron molds is called "turning sand". The materials required are clay and stone sand. Mix the clay and stone sand in proportion. First, make a rectangular column, and then dig out the inverted mold of the mace head from the middle, which is called "lower half". After making the lower half, you also need to make a "upper half". The upper half is mainly to hollow out the interior of the mace to reduce weight. Otherwise, the solid mace will still face the problem of not being able to wield.

After making the upper and lower half shapes, serialize the two together, leave an injection port, sintered and solidified, and a mold is completed.

The furnace was grown, melted iron, poured, and after completing these three steps, Li Mu went back to sleep. Early the next morning, he smashed the mold and made a mace head. He used an iron file to fix the burrs in the corners, then installed the alloy handle made last night, and the mace was completed.

Li Mu took a look at the attributes specifically.

[Pi Li Fire: Blue quality one-handed hammer (two weapons can be combined into a two-headed mace).].

[Basic strength demand 15].

[Attack additional: Armor breaking, bleeding].

There is no attribute bonus, but there is an attack add-on. It offsets each other, which is a little better than ordinary blue-quality weapons.

Li Mu handed the thunder fire to Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi waved it and shook his head: "It's too light."

"Of course you use it lightly, but it is just right for your subordinates to use it. If it is heavy, you can't wave it."

Li Chongyi thought about it and nodded, which was considered to be recognized.

As the two were talking, Zhao Youcai ran over and said, "Mr. Marquis, Eunuch Gao is here."

"Eunuch Gao?" Li Mu wondered, what did Eunuch Gao come to do early in the morning? Could it be that he had an order again?

"Have you received the imperial edict?"

Zhao Youcai shook his head: "I didn't see the imperial edict."

"Then what is he here to do?" Li Mu ordered Li Chongyi to clean up the mold fragments scattered on the ground and come to the lobby of the front yard. Eunuch Gao was holding a tea cup to drink tea. When he saw Li Mu coming, he put down the tea cup and stood up.

When the two of them greeted each other, Li Mu asked, "Don't you have to serve Your Majesty today?"

"It was His Majesty who ordered our family to come and find the Marquis." After a pause, Eunuch Gao looked at Zhao Youcai next to Li Mu. Li Mu understood and waved his hand. Zhao Youcai took his leave and went back to the doorman.

"Mr. Marquis, Your Majesty has one thing that you want the Marquis to do." As he said that, Eunuch Gao whispered, saying to Li Mu about Zheng Guanyin's affairs, the causes and consequences, and said to Li Mu: "...this is the thing, and this is the situation. Your Majesty wants the Marquis to follow the method of dealing with the Supreme Emperor and invite Zheng out of the palace, but he cannot leave Chang'an City. It is best to find something for her to do. The time limit required by Your Majesty is seven days, but if the Marquis feels embarrassed, our family can also help the Marquis talk about it. It is okay to be tolerant for three or five days."

"Ouch..." Li Mu had a headache after hearing this.

Since ancient times, the internal affairs of the royal family have been entangled. Especially the case of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it is even more unclear. The idea of ​​killing the brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng is now unexplainable. There is no right or wrong. Since ancient times, the king has succeeded and defeated the enemy. If Li Jiancheng survived that day, the descendants of Li Shimin's branch would not survive either.

If Li Shimin is wrong, it is nothing more than a few years later. Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, but he is not. If he kills the crown prince, he will not take the righteousness, that's all. Then again, a real man is born in the world. Is it because his opponent takes the righteousness, and he will kill him?

From this point of view, Li Mu did not think that Li Shimin was wrong.

But Li Mu really didn't want to get involved in this kind of inverted stove. If it weren't for Li Yuan's affairs, he would definitely not have participated in it.

After a while of silence, Li Mu said, "Eunuch Gao, we are not outsiders. Can you give me a correct word? If I refuse this, can I?"

Eunuch Gao shook his head and said, "This matter has troubled Your Majesty for a long time, and Your Majesty has always been helpless. Once, Your Majesty even said that it would be better to deal with it at that time, so as to avoid the upset of today. From this, it can be seen that Your Majesty has no more patience. The Marquis can refuse, and Your Majesty can't do anything to the Marquis. But the mother and daughter in Changlemen are afraid... "

Li Mu frowned and said, "Why is this? Since Your Majesty did not kill him at that time, he must have not wanted to kill him. Why has there been a change now?"

"This..." Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and said, "Originally, our family is not easy to talk about. But since the Marquis is confused, since our family knows it, it is a bit sorry for the Marquis. A few days ago, Wei Zheng went to Changlemen."

The gold and silver utensils that had worn out the patterns flashed through Li Mu's mind and said in surprise: "Is it possible that part of Wei Zheng's money comes from the palace?"

"Yes." Eunuch Gao nodded.

"No wonder!" Li Mu suddenly realized and understood everything. Yesterday, when he mentioned that the gold and silver vessels came from the palace, Li Shimin's face turned ugly. He was still surprised at that time, but now he finally knew the answer.
Chapter completed!
