Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 6: The name of the knife

"Don't talk too much later, do whatever I tell you to do, do you understand?"

On a carriage, Xiao Zongshui said in a deep voice.

Zhou Shu sat opposite him and nodded, "Understood."

The carriage pulled forward. Although Zhou Shu was sitting in the carriage, his heart had already flown out of the carriage.

If Xiao Zongshui hadn't been here, he would have stuck his head out long ago.

It has been a while since he came to this world. Zhou Shu has never left the workshop of the Casting Division. He is really curious about the grand scene of the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

In Zhou Shu's imagination of the Great Xia Empire, the carriage ran for over an hour before it stopped.

Xiao Zongshui got out of the carriage first, and Zhou Shu followed him and jumped out of the carriage.

What he saw was not the prosperous imperial capital he imagined, but a wilderness.

This is a valley, surrounded by green mountains, not far away, a military camp stands there.

"Barracks?"

Zhou Shu's heart moved.

The relationship between the Foundry Division and the barracks should be that the weapons cast by the Foundry Division are all supplied to the three armies of Daxia. What did Xiao Zongshui bring him here?

Although there are some doubts, Xiao Zongshui has said it before, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, so Zhou Shu didn't ask.

He followed behind Xiao Zongshui, silently observing the surrounding environment.

At the gate of the barracks, Xiao Zongshui was released after showing the token.

In the barracks, a group of soldiers are training in full swing. In Zhou Shu's view, there is nothing surprising in the way of training, but they are just constantly hacking.

Xiao Zongshui seemed to be very familiar with this barracks. He took Zhou Shu across the school grounds and came directly to a large tent.

"General Cheng, Xiao Zongshui asks to see you!"

Xiao Zongshui raised his voice.

"Come in."

A rough voice came.

Xiao Zongshui winked at Zhou Shu before entering the tent.

Zhou Shu followed closely. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Xiao Zongshui saluting a burly general.

"See General Process."

Xiao Zongshui's posture was very low, and his body almost completed ninety degrees.

As the boss is like this, Zhou Shu naturally doesn't want to appear to be too special.

"Exempt."

That General Cheng waved his hand, his eyes shifted from the sand table to Xiao Zongshui, and he said with some doubts, "Mr. Xiao has gone and returned, why?"

"General Cheng, Xiao Mou came this time because of weapons." Xiao Zongshui said.

"Of course I know it's for weapons." General Cheng said, "I'm dealing with your forging division, what else can I do other than weapons?"

"The weapons you brought do not meet my requirements. I will not choose your No. 97 workshop to supply weapons to my army."

General Cheng shook his head and said.

Zhou Shu was at a loss, why did he feel like Xiao Zongshui was here to sell weapons?

Casting soldiers, casting soldiers, do they have to produce and sell themselves?

Although Zhou Shu is an apprentice of the Casting Division, to be honest, the apprentice is only the most basic existence of the Casting Division. He knows nothing about the operation of the Casting Division.

The only thing he needs to know in the Soldier Casting Division is how many weapons he needs to cast each month.

"Dare to ask the general, have you already selected a weapon?"

Xiao Zongshui was not discouraged and asked in a deep voice.

"Not yet." General Cheng shook his head, "Workshop No. 73, Workshop No. 86, and Workshop No. 89 have sent a few weapons, but they are not satisfactory."

"This general was instructed to set up a janitorial army, responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. The choice of weapons should naturally be prudent."

Zhou Shu was in a daze, but couldn't open his mouth to ask questions, he could only guess silently in his heart.

Zhou Shu knew about the workshops mentioned in General Cheng's words. There are a total of 108 workshops in the Daxia Casting Division, of which the first thirty-six workshops are all made by official casting divisions. The composition, there are even many master craftsmen, they are responsible for casting, all of which are finished weapons.

The seventy-two workshops after the thirty-sixth workshop, including the ninety-seventh workshop where Zhou Shu is located, are responsible for casting standard weapons.

Different workshops are good at casting different weapons, some are good at forging swords, some are good at making spears, some workshops have mastered the secret recipe of forging spears, and some workshops are specialized in making bows and arrows.

Zhou Shu's workshop No. 97 is good at casting knives.

General Cheng's words made Zhou Shu vaguely guess something.

This General Cheng is building an army, and the workshop of the Foundry Division is rushing to supply him with weapons.

Contacting his work experience in his previous life, it is easy to think that this supply of weapons is a fat man.

Otherwise, Xiao Zongshui and the others wouldn't come to grab it.

"General, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers. In Xiao's opinion, it is the most suitable weapon for the Imperial Guard—"

Xiao Zongshui said.

Before he could finish speaking, General Cheng interrupted him.

"I understand what I said, Mr. Xiao, the knives you cast in workshop No. 97 can't meet my requirements."

"The standard long swords you cast can be used to equip ordinary troops with no problem, but my janitorial guards are the elite of the elite!"

"General Cheng, you have misunderstood." Xiao Zongshui shook his head and said, "I know that the standard long knife I brought before is not in the Fang family's eyes. So this time I brought our No. 97 workshop to concentrate on research and development for many years. 's new knife!"

"Oh?"

General Cheng didn't show much interest. A group of apprentice soldiers, not soldiers, could develop a good weapon?

"Look at the general!"

Xiao Zongshui brought the knife in front of General Cheng with both hands.

Zhou Shu could see clearly that the knife was the sharp standard long knife that Xiao Zongshui took away before, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

How did the knife you forged by yourself become the new weapon that the Ninety-seventh Workshop has devotedly developed over the years?

"What's different about this knife?"

General Cheng took the long knife with little interest, glanced at it, and said casually.

From the perspective of appearance, the sharp standard long knife is the same as the ordinary standard long knife. It is a single-edged straight knife similar to the Tang knife.

"Mr. Xiao, this general is very busy. If it's just the old weapon, you should go back."

General Cheng's expression was already a little impatient.

He had tried all the standard long knives that Xiao Zongshui brought before, but they could not meet his requirements at all.

If it weren't for the inevitable dealings with the Zhubing Division in the future, General Cheng didn't want to have too much trouble with the Zhubing Division, or he would have driven Xiao Zongshui out long ago.

"General, this is not the standard long knife I brought here before!" Xiao Zongshui quickly explained, "This knife is exceptionally sharp!"

"Haha——" General Cheng laughed, "Isn't Mr. Xiao entertaining General Ben? A knife, if it's not sharp, it's called a knife?"

General Cheng already wanted to see off the guest.

"There is no evidence to speak, please try the sword!"

Xiao Zongshui spoke first.

General Cheng frowned and looked at Xiao Zongshui. After a long time, he said, "Well, this general will give you another chance."

"Come on, get on the armor!"

Soon, a few soldiers came in with a wooden stake on top of which was also covered with two layers of leather armor.

"Mr. Xiao, if your sword can break twice the armor, why should I use it?"

General Cheng said.

Ordinary standard weapons, capable of piercing the first layer of armor are considered excellent weapons.

With the knowledge of General Cheng, I have not seen much of the standard weapons with double armor.

If it is a standard long sword with double armor, it is definitely qualified to equip its own Guards.

"General, add another heavy armor."

Xiao Zongshui said in a deep voice.

"Triple Armor?"

General Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said with some displeasure, "Mr. Xiao, enough is enough!"

Standard weapons are cast from the most common iron materials. It is almost impossible to achieve double armor penetration. Third armor penetration, how is that possible?

"General, give it a try, it won't hurt you, will it?"

Xiao Zongshui said seriously.

"Very good!"

General Cheng squinted at Xiao Zongshui for a while, then waved his hand, and immediately a personal soldier put another layer of leather armor on the stake.

"You come."

General Cheng handed the knife to a personal soldier.

His own strength is great, and if he does it, he will not be able to test the sharpness of the weapon itself.

The personal soldier took the long sword, weighed the weight, and then chopped it out.

He did not use all his strength, but controlled his strength to the level of an ordinary adult~IndoMTL.com~ This is also a rule for testing the sharpness of weapons. Only in this way, the power of the weapon itself is tested, not the strength of the user.

"Pfft—"

The long knife drew a bright line in the air, and the blade fell on the leather armor.

The solid leather armor, under the edge of the blade, does not cut like tofu, and the blade is instantly immersed in the leather armor, and then deeply embedded in the stake.

"Bang——"

There was a muffled sound, and something fell to the ground.

General Cheng's expression changed. He stepped out in one step, directly crossing a distance of several meters, pushing his personal soldiers away one by one, and reaching out to hold the sharp long knife, with a slight force on his wrist, the long knife had been pulled from the stake. come out.

"Crack—"

The three-layer leather armor split from the chest and abdomen and fell to the ground on the wooden stake, leaving a deep knife scar.

“Swish—”

General Cheng's wrist flicked, and the sharp long knife slid across the wooden stake. The thick wooden stake seemed to be in slow motion.

"Good knife!" General Cheng couldn't help but said, "What a sharp knife!"

"Mr. Xiao, this is the new knife you developed? What is it called?"

"It—"

Xiao Zongshui hesitated for a moment. What name does this knife have?

"Report to General, this sword is called Hu Ben!"

Xiao Zongshui was in a hurry when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Hu Ben, which means warrior." The voice continued loudly, "The general's janitorial guards are guarding the palace, and they are Hu Ben's soldiers. The Hu Ben sword and the Hu Ben army are a perfect match! Except for the general's Hu Ben's pawn. Besides, who else is worthy of this tiger-bent knife?"
