Chapter 25: Ring Head Knife

Zhou Yang depicts a wonderful prospect that is already pleasant enough, but Ding Jun still needs to add icing on the cake.

"Master, we have also made a knife, suitable for slashing and slaughtering immediately." Ding Jun smiled, his eyebrows spread out, as if flowers were blooming.

"Oh!" When he was in the north, Zhou Yang found that it was not suitable to use a Han sword immediately. He wanted to use a knife. He wrote a memorial to Emperor Jing. When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited: "Where is it?"

"This knife has just been made and is still being tried. Grandmaster, please follow me." Ding Jun led the way, and Zhou Yang and his team followed.

"What's it like?" Li Guang was impatient and couldn't help it, and asked, "Don't make the Huns' scimitar."

"Haha!" Ding Jun smiled happily: "Don't worry, General Fei, it's definitely not like that."

Under Ding Jun's leadership, everyone left the house and headed straight forward. It was the schoolyard, and there were many Han soldiers riding on horses, carrying helmets and armor, wielding a strange-shaped knife to kill.

These soldiers are also Jianzhang Army. Their chopping and slashing movements are sharp and powerful. Every time they take a knife, a training will appear, which is very terrifying.

"Good sword technique!" Zhou Yang and the others couldn't help but praise.

"In addition to being flexible in our minds, we also need some soldiers like them who can fight and fight to protect the safety of the place." Ding Jun pointed at the soldiers and explained to Zhou Yang and the others.

Here we mainly conduct tactical research and study methods to crack the Huns. We also need these soldiers who can fight and fight and have strong bodies.

When he came closer, Ding Jun gave the order, the soldiers rode over and saluted Zhou Yang: "I have seen the commander!"

The voice was loud and powerful, and Zhou Yang returned the greeting: "I have met you brothers!"

"Haha!" Although they saw Zhou Yang for the first time, they had long been well-known for Zhou Yang's name. They were full of admiration. Zhou Yang was so kind and had no airs to be commensurate with their brothers. The sense of distance disappeared suddenly, and everyone showed a sense of closeness.

Ding Jun took a knife from the soldier and handed it to Zhou Yang, saying, "Please look, Marshal."

Zhou Yang held it in his hand and looked at it briefly. The knife was three feet long, with a straight body and a thick ridge. There was a circle on the handle of the knife. The style was very special. Zhou Yang had never seen it before. The blade was shining, and it was extremely sharp at a glance.

"Good knife! Good knife!" With a swaying wrist, a knife flower appeared, and Zhou Yang praised him loudly.

Ding Jun smiled on his face: "Master Xie praised him. The Master didn't know that we received the emperor's order, saying that the Master found that the sword was not suitable for fighting immediately, so he asked us to make a knife. It took a short time to make it, but it has not been decided yet. Master, please try it and give us some opinions."

Although Zhou Yang did not participate in the development of this knife, he was the initiator and nodded and said, "Okay!"

With a slap in the wind chasing horse, the wind chasing horse roared, spread out four hooves, and rushed out like flying. Zhou Yang held up the knife and slashed the wooden stake on the ground. In the shiny blade light, the wooden stake broke with the knife. His wrist flapped, and the blade body drew an arc from bottom to top, and another piece of wooden stake broke.

Using this knife is much more comfortable than using the Huns' scimitar, and it is very convenient to use it to cut and kill immediately. Zhou Yang praised it, and then he pulled the horse's head and went back.

"The Grand Marshal thought..." Zhou Yang had the final say, and Ding Jun was very nervous.

"Flying General, you can try it too." Zhou Yang did not answer.

"Okay!" Li Guang and the others responded, took the knife in their hands, rushed over and slashed.

After a slash, they beat the horses one after another, and praised from afar: "It's easy to use, it's easy to use, it's very useful! It's much easier to use than the Huns' scimitar!"

"Haha!" When Ding Junda heard them praise him, he felt relieved and couldn't help but smile comfortably.

"It's easy to use!" Zhou Yang nodded and said, "I said it's easy to applaud. I'm going to say it's easy to applaud."

The emergence of a weapon requires countless trials before it can be finalized. Although Zhou Yang has the right to decide the future of the knife, if he does that, something might happen. Let Li Guang and others come to discuss it after trials. This is a very serious attitude. Ding Jun praised it. No wonder Zhou Yang defeated the Huns, and he can see his style from this matter.

"This knife has a good style and is easy to use. It is suitable for cavalry." Zhou Yang looked at the knife in his hand for a while, and was very happy: "With this knife, the power of the cavalry will be greater. However, I have a little idea that this knife is a little light and should be a little heavier."

"Light?" Ding Jun was a little surprised and explained: "Master, we have tried it. The Huns' leather armor cannot resist it and can be easily split."

The Huns mainly use leather armor. As long as they can split the Huns' leather armor, the Huns will become defenseless.

"The Huns mainly use leather armor, which is right. However, the Huns also have iron armor. The elite troops of the Shanyu headquarters, whose iron armor is not below us. To deal with such iron armor, it needs to be heavier to make up for it." Zhou Yang explained.

"Don't worry, the Huns' iron armor can't resist what we tried." Ding Jun said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Zhou Yang nodded slightly and said, "The heavier the horse, the greater the threat to the Huns. It's better to be heavier, it's about ten pounds."

"About ten pounds?" Ding Jun was startled. The knife in front of him was at most five or six pounds, which means it would be doubled. He reminded him: "Master, a big battle will take a long time. If it is too heavy and consumed too much, can it be withstood?"

This is right. The war is very tiring. A big battle will take a long time. If the knife is too heavy, the physical energy will be consumed very much and people will not be able to bear it.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." The Han army under Zhou Yang's command, they were still fighting to that extent. What's the point of increasing a few pounds? Zhou Yang has extremely confident in the Han army.

"Since that's the case, then it's a little more serious." Ding Jun nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yang's improvement is very important. On the ancient battlefield, soldiers wore iron armor. If the sword was light and slashed on their bodies, it would leave a mark on the armor and would not hurt anyone.

The saber in modern society is fine to deal with modern armies wearing clothes. If it is used in ancient times, it will be difficult to achieve results. The reason is that it is too light.

One force will reduce ten times. The heavier the knife, the greater the force, and the greater the threat to the enemy.

"Does this knife have a name?" Li Guang asked with the knife in his hand.

"Not yet." Ding Jun answered truthfully, slapped his forehead: "This knife was proposed by the Grand Marshal, it is the Grand Marshal's sword."

"Master's Knife?" Zhou Yang shook his head violently: "It's too difficult to speak."

It is indeed too difficult to talk about, and Li Guang did not agree with it: "Master, or use the name of Damashu, which is called Yangdao."

"This name is good." Cheng Buzhi immediately agreed.

Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui and others agreed and nodded.

"Not good!" Zhou Yang looked at the knife and said, "This knife has a ring, just call it, ring-headed sword!"

"Ring-headed knife?" Everyone savored it carefully, and raised their thumbs and praised: "Good name! Good name!"

This name is much better than the Dashuai Dao. What's more important is that it is very vivid. There is a ring on the hilt of the knife to prevent it from being lost.

There are two very famous weapons in the Han Dynasty, one is the Han sword and the other is the ring-headed sword. Needless to mention the Han sword, the Han sword has been used, both Han, Three Kingdoms, and Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The ring-headed sword is even more amazing. It is one of the most famous swords in Chinese history and has epoch-making significance.

This is the first type of cavalry fighting sword in Chinese history. Before this, we used swords and swords instead of swords. Even in the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry used swords. The Qin people mastered the principle of military science that stabbing is more effective than chopping. The Qin sword is longer than the Han sword, and it is not chopping on horseback, but mainly stabbing.

This is the characteristic of the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, this mechanism was also adopted. It was not until Emperor Wu of Han reformed the military and political affairs and formed a large number of cavalrymen that he discovered that it was inconvenient to use a sword, and it was still easy to use a knife. He developed a powerful weapon, a ring-headed sword, that he had developed.

The powerful Han army waved its ring-headed sword to defeat the Huns, recovered the Baiyue, pacified Liaodong, marched into the Western Regions, rushed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and created a great era. The "Han-Wu Prosperity" was shot with this knife!

"If you offend a strong Han Dynasty, you will be punished even if you are far away." The backing of such bold statements is the strong Han army with a sword with a ring head!

The ring-headed sword was used for nearly a thousand years, and it went through the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty. It was improved and withdrawn from the historical stage as soon as it entered the Tang Dynasty.

The famous horizontal sword in the Tang Dynasty was improved on the basis of the ring-headed sword. The improvement of the horizontal sword mainly lies in two aspects: one is to remove the ring on the handle of the knife, and the other is to increase the weight.

During the Han Dynasty, the ring-headed sword was only a few pounds, and it was not a problem to use it to deal with the nomadic peoples such as the Huns.

During that period, these nomadic peoples lacked iron and did not have good iron armor. The ring-headed sword was enough to deal with it. After thousands of years of historical development, the Turks and other nomadic peoples also made progress. Although they were far inferior to China's progress, they also had a lot of iron armor. The ring-headed sword was too light to deal with the iron armor.

The Tang people made the horizontal sword heavier and more effective against the nomadic peoples such as the Turks. Therefore, the Tang army swung the horizontal sword and swept the world, creating a dreamy Tang Dynasty!

Zhou Yang's history is not good, and the history of weapons is even blank, but he has an amazing understanding of war. Not only has he improved the ring-headed sword, but he also named it "Ringheaded sword". Perhaps it is a coincidence, and it is also his own will.

No matter what, as soon as this knife is released, a new era is about to be born!

The era of the powerful Han army and invincible straits is coming soon!

What happened next was Zhou Yang and Ding Jun and the people here studied the tactics that the Han army would adopt. To train troops, the first thing to do was to establish the tactics, otherwise, it would be useless to train the troops.

For example, when tanks first appeared, they were used to support infantry. However, Guderian concentrated on using tanks as a weapon for attacking, and the Nazi army swept across Europe.

This tactic must be formulated and it is very important. Zhou Yang has a slander for this matter, but it does not prevent him from listening to other people's opinions and improving this tactic.

Learning from others' strengths and inclusiveness is the kingly way!

Everyone here is smart and is a very good tactical expert. With their participation, under the leadership of Zhou Yang, a set of far-reaching tactics have been gradually improved.

Changxin Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou leaned against the soft couch, and there was a jar of insects on the short table in front of her, making a crisp sound of insects, which was extremely happy, as if she was inviting favor to Empress Dowager Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou pricked up her ears and listened to the sound of insects. She was extremely happy, and her old face was full of smiles.

She is blind, and has been living by listening to the sound of insects for so many years. She is very kind to listen to the sound of insects.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, King Liang is asking for a meeting." The maid hurried in to report.

"Awu?" When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she moved her body and was about to stand up. However, she leaned back and her face sank. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she snorted coldly: "Hmph! Let him stay!"

"Empress Dowager, are you?" the maid asked carefully.

King Liang is the heart of Queen Mother Dou. She misses her all the time and asks her questions at any time. King Liang went to the palace to ask for a meeting, but she didn't see her. This matter is so hard to understand.

"Have he got tired of his beauty, and then he remembered his old age? He has been in Chang'an for so many days, and has only been in the palace several times?" Empress Dowager Dou was very angry.

The maid then realized that she had come back and hurriedly stepped back. Don't mess with her at this time.

Holding the dragon head crutch, Empress Dowager Dou sat up and said angrily: "Call that unscrupulous thing in!"

"No!" The maid responded quickly and quickly went to pass on the King of Liang.

After a while, the footsteps sounded, and King Liang strode with a smile on his face and shouted from afar: "Mother, Mother, Wu'er, see you are here!"

"Tu tuk!" Empress Dowager Dou's crutch was a little heavier on the ground and shouted: "Things without conscience, kneel down!"

"My Mother!" This incident was too unexpected, and the smile on King Liang's face froze: "My Mother, what do you mean?"

"Still standing?" Empress Dowager Dou hummed angrily: "Is it because your King Liang is hard and you can't control you anymore?"

This was very serious and his tone was extremely unkind. Although King Liang was unwilling to do so, he had to kneel down: "Wu'er meets the queen of mother!"

"Awu, what have you been doing these days? Have you recited your beauty title? I just remembered my old age now." Empress Dowager Dou loved this son the most and didn't miss him one day. But when King Liang came to Chang'an, he didn't come to greet him often, and he couldn't help her.
