Chapter 5 Building a Divine Soldier 2

He Wuji once again invited me to visit Taihu Lake at night, and I refused again. It's not that I don't appreciate him, but that I seem to have nothing to do in Wujun, but because I'm new to take office, I don't have a lot of things to do. Moreover, there are many things that need to be studied and considered in the recent wars, so I don't want to indulge in night trips, evening banquets, night talks, and hangovers.

My military tent is in the barracks, but my residence is in a courtyard outside the barracks. Officers above the army and governor can have a more comfortable courtyard. In addition to myself, seven or eight more soldiers can live in the yard.

After supervising each battalion's drill that day, he returned to his home. I threw myself on the couch to take a nap, but glanced at a long knife standing by the wall.

This knife was taken from the enemy when it was besieged by the enemy after drawing a map outside Wujun City that day. I have used such a long knife before, but I always feel that it is not as easy as Ma Yu. Moreover, as a senior general, it is more suitable to use a horse than a long knife.

In the battle outside the city that day, I actually danced a set of swordsmanship without a teacher. Although it was not exquisite, it could also suppress the enemy. After fighting in the heavy siege of the thief soldiers for so long, he only suffered a few minor injuries, which can not be said to be God's blessing. It's rare for Liu Jingxuan to have the heart to bring this knife back from the battlefield.

I got up on a whim, regardless of most of the day's fatigue, took the long knife to the yard and tried to dance according to the memory of that day. Although it was not exactly the same as that day, the long knife dance suddenly doubled in his hand.

After practicing the knife skill, I turned the knife across and took a closer look at the weapon that saved my life and made me retreat. Although I have seen this knife countless times, no matter how I look at it, it is just an extremely ordinary long knife: the knife head is slightly bent, the blade is incomplete by the enemy's weapons, the handle has been cracked, and the tail end of the handle has been cut off in the fight...

This knife has been badly damaged, and it seems that it can only be used at home and can no longer be used on the battlefield. Of course, even if I can get it to the battlefield, I won't use it anymore.

It has completed its mission, and it has achieved its reputation.

Thinking of this, there seems to be a kind of ** surging in my heart. This knife favored me so much obviously not to make me still do nothing as before. The mission it has completed will be the beginning of my life mission; the fame it has achieved will be the foundation for my future fame.

Maybe I can become a famous general like Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi and Zu Yi! Perhaps, I can respond to the clear and shocking cry in my heart - the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains! Return to Chang'an! Worship the ancestral court!

As a famous general, of course, you can't use an ordinary weapon. When I watched my soldiers taking my horse out of the inner room, I made a decision: to build an exclusive weapon. This weapon is no longer a horse, but a long knife. It will not be an ordinary weapon, but a magic soldier!

I looked at the broken knife while imagining the new knife I was going to build.

When the long knife is danced round, it is indeed a sharp weapon that can deal with multiple enemies at the same time. But the long knife is stronger than grid and slashing, but it is not suitable for sprinting on the horse. In addition to riding, the advantage of the knife cannot be brought into play when the space is small and the enemy uses several shields to block it. If it can have both the ability of thrusting, then the knife is an excellent weapon. In addition, ordinary knives only have a blade on one side. If there is a blade on both sides, it will be more lethal.

When I was a child, I heard that there was a weapon called a three-pointed and two-edged knife in ancient times. Both sides of the knife are open for two-way slashing; the front three tips are easy to pierce. Few people have heard of such weapons in recent times. I thought, I might as well try to make a three-pointed and two-edged knife.

After dinner, I began to draw the shape of a knife on paper with candles, and it was not painted until midnight. I spread the drawings on the table and fell asleep.

The next day, I took the drawings to the barracks and gave them to the blacksmith and asked him to make two knives. The long knife is used for horse fighting and the short knife with a scabbard to carry the body.

Because it was a job personally handed over by joining the army, the blacksmith specially looked for a few good materials. In less than ten days, the blacksmith sent the beaten knife.

I was extremely excited to see the knife made according to my own drawings. With a knife in one hand, he looked up and down carefully: the long blade is short, and the short blade is long. The long blade is two feet long and the handle is one foot long, a total of one foot and two feet. The short blade is three feet long and the handle is one foot long, a total of four feet. Both knives were steel blade iron handles, and the blacksmith also cast a tiger head on each of the two handles.

The knife head of the long knife is semicircular, and the middle is a sharp blade for thrusting, which can be killed like a spear and a gun; the semicircular edge is two hooks, which can be used to deal with cavalry or as a flying hook to climb the city; there is a blade on both sides of the knife head, which can be used to slash. The knife head is the top priority, and it is indeed very heavy. The head-heavy knife does not need too much force to dance, which can produce great slashing power.

This knife has the power of both knives, shuo, halberd and hooks. It can use both the shuo method that has been practiced before, but also the new knife method created a few months ago. It really makes me love it twice.

Because the knife head is as bright as half a moon, I named this knife "Moon Knife". As a short knife, it is named "Little Moon Knife" as a small knife.

I asked the blacksmith to carve the name of the knife on the blade.

The blacksmith has already prepared the tools to be named on the knife. In less than a meal, two knives were engwritten. He presented the two knives one by one, and then solemnly said to me, "I wish the general a victory over the enemy and become a good success!"

"Thank you for encouraging me." I answered and turned around to reward my soldiers.

The blacksmith quickly waved his hand and said, "I was originally a craftsman in the army, and it was a business to make knives for General Liu. We admire the general's bravery, and it is also my honor to fight for the general with all my heart. In the future, it would be even more fortunate if the general could kill the enemy with these two knives.

After saying that, the blacksmith turned sideways and pointed to the descendant carrying the toolbox behind him and said, "This is my apprentice. When the general came to me in person that day, the apprentice was not there. He admires you very much. He must take the opportunity to send knives today to visit the general.

I recruited the apprentice to get closer, encouraged him, rewarded him with some money, and then sent them back. After they left, I asked my soldiers to buy some wine and meat and send them to the blacksmith and apprentice.

After everyone left, I stood in the courtyard and couldn't help copying two knives and dancing a few moves. I was very satisfied with these two weapons. If I had been born hundreds of years earlier, I would like to compete with those ancient knives.

The old knife taken by the thief has been wrapped in a thick velvet cloth and collected. That simple long knife is not simple at all in my heart. It has become a sacred object and a magic soldier that has long existed in my heart to inspire me to kill the enemy bravely.
