Chapter 38
At this time, in front of Liu Jue was a knife about one meter long.
Single-sided open front, thick back and thin blade, the blade is thin and straight, there is a blood groove on the side of the blade, and the top of the handle is embedded with a small iron ring, which is the style of the first knife of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, the slight difference is that this knife has a bit of a curve, which reduces the impact of the chop, and at the same time increases the cutting distance, making it more suitable for chopping.
This is only the difference on the surface, compared with the ring head knife, the raw materials of the Su iron knife are better, and the casting process is more advanced.
During the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, swords were quenched with water, but Sutie knives jumped out of this range and began to use urine and grease to quench.
The blade that shimmers with cold light is a pattern that is naturally formed during the forging process, and it is as charming as a work of art.
The whole knife was very simple and there was no superfluous decoration, but the oncoming chill made everyone present understand that this was a murderous weapon.
"Major General, is this what you said about the Su Iron Knife?" Zhuge Liang's eyes widened and he looked at the knife obsessively.
Even Pang Tong on the side, when he looked at this knife, his eyes flashed.
Obsessed with swords is an instinct in a man's bones.
"That's right! This is what I rely on to fight Cao Cao!" Liu Jue held the Su Tie Knife, turned his head to Huang Zhong and said, "General Huang, you come to help me test the knife!"
"Okay!" Huang Zhong nodded, pulled out his saber, the blade facing upward, and his arms gripping the handle tightly.
Liu Feng also clenched the handle of the knife, stood up, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly and slashed downward.
When!
With the sound of gold and iron clashing, the two knives slammed together.
In an instant, Huang Zhong's arms shook suddenly, and he seemed to have a feeling that he couldn't hold it, and the ring-headed knife in his hand also broke off with the sound of impact.
Liu Jue used all his strength for this knife, but he didn't expect that the ring-headed knife couldn't even withstand a blow.
"It's really sharp!" Both Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang showed surprise at this time.
Liu Jue raised the Su Tie knife and looked at it, but there was a small flaw in the position of the impact on the knife edge.
However, this is also normal, no matter how sharp the Su Iron Knife is, it is impossible to cut it against other weapons without the slightest damage.
But this makes Liu Jue already very satisfied!
Let's compare the two knives, the Su Iron Knife is only flawed, but the ring head knife is cut off, and the gap is reflected.
Imagine if it was Liu Jue's soldiers, holding the Su Iron Sword against Cao Jun.
As soon as the two sides fought, the ring head knife in Cao Jun's hand was broken after a few cuts, what kind of situation would it be?
The result can only be a unilateral massacre of Cao Jun!
Liu Jue asked Huang Zhongdao, "Have you tried it?" Can you cut off the thirty iron armors?"
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "I have already tried, and I can indeed cut off thirty pieces of iron armor, but it requires a lot of soldiers, and ordinary soldiers are only a dozen times." "
Liu Jue said with satisfaction: "This is enough!
"Able to withstand more than 500 hits. "
Since the birth of the first Su Iron Knife, Huang Zhong has followed Liu Jue's orders to conduct various tests on the Su Iron Knife, and now he knows the Su Iron Knife well.
Liu Jue is very satisfied with this result, and can withstand hundreds of slashes, which can be said to be quite good.
Liu Jue looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and said, "What do you think? If you rely on this iron sword, can you fight with the Cao army of Wancheng?"
Pang Tong couldn't hide the shock in his heart, nodded and said: "This sword is a sharp weapon in the world, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Cao Jun to resist in a head-to-head confrontation!"
Zhuge Liang said: "I don't know if this iron knife is difficult to cast, if the Wancheng Cao army really dispatches, how many soldiers can we equip
?"
Liu Jue looked at Huang Zhong and asked, "General Huang, a skilled blacksmith, can forge a Su Iron Sword in a few days?"
Huang Zhong replied: "At the beginning, because the blacksmith had not yet mastered the skill, it took seven or eight days to build one, but now three or four days is enough. "
"I didn't expect it to be quite fast!".
Liu Jue laughed, but he also knew that it was because of the steel filling method and the forging technology that was ahead of this era that he could make an iron knife so quickly.
Liu Jue opened his mouth and said: "Now there are more than 120 old blacksmiths in Chaisang, and Sun Quan will send another 100 in a while, even if everyone can make seven in a month, it will add up to more than 1,500! It will take at least two months for Cao Jun to go south, and we will be able to build at least 3,000 Su Iron Swords during this time." "
Three thousand indestructible iron knives are enough to equip a vanguard force, and if they join the battlefield at a critical moment, they may also have a decisive effect.
After Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong listened, they had a little more confidence in their hearts.
Why was the Han Dynasty able to defeat the Xiongnu in the north?
One of the most important reasons is that the Han Dynasty had a ring-headed sword, which suppressed the Xiongnu in weapons.
Now the Su Iron Knife is sharper, tougher, and indestructible than the Ring Head Knife.
Even though Sergeant Cao is extremely powerful, but in the face of Su Tiedao, I'm afraid I have to drink a pot!
Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "Young General, why don't you ask Liu Jingzhou for some blacksmiths, so that you can forge more Su Iron Knife." "
Liu Jue shook his head and said: "The Su Iron Knife is a sharp weapon of the country, before I take charge of Jingzhou, the less people know about it, the better!"
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both smart people, after all, Su Tiedao is a treasure that everyone has to hide.
If Cao Cao or Sun Quan had suffered a loss of the Su Iron Knife, knowing that Liu Jue had such a sharp weapon, they would definitely try their best to get the casting method of the Su Iron Knife.
I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves!
After reading the Su Iron Knife, Liu Jue arranged for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to stay.
In the next few days, Liu Jue took two more people to inspect the army, whether it was Huang Zhong or Gan Ning, they were training soldiers every day, and they didn't dare to relax for a minute.
What kind of generals there are, there are what kind of soldiers.
Under the training of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, these soldiers have made obvious progress, and they already have a bit of elite flavor.
The five thousand elites summoned by Liu Jue are now handed over to Gan Ning to command, and after Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong saw it, they all showed surprised expressions.
Zhuge Liang said in admiration: "The young general has such a strong division, even if Cao Cao comes in person, what is he afraid of?"
