Chapter 203 The Saber from the End of the World
Part of the reason for the best meteorite weapons in ancient times was that the high temperature of the atmosphere burned away some impurities. Even so, meteorites that did not contain special materials would not be considered good in modern times.
Moreover, what Shen You brought out were not crude crafts, but tools used to kill alien species in the last days.
Liu Yunyan and the others looked at how the magic weapons were treated in the shop, being casually placed on the ground. They looked at each other for a few times, with distress on their faces.
What a waste!
The blade is clean, without any mineral impurities, and even the traces of forging and beating are not obvious. The workmanship is so exquisite that it is really unimaginable.
It's just that the style is a bit weird. Such a good sword can be made into an heirloom in anyone's home. However, the handle and body of the knife don't have high-standard patterns. I really don't understand it.
It's like using the best silk to give it a linen feel, and wearing it with a pair of straw sandals.
It seems that this expert likes the simplicity when forging weapons.
Two people picked up the knives and tried them out on the spot. One used a good knife from Daqi, and the other used a modern steel knife from the shop. It was also a military knife. Shen You heard this from people in the Lancheng plane at that time.
She was also a little curious about the scene and results of the knife test, and looked at the two people in the yard without blinking.
I have only seen the text version of the difference between ancient and modern cold weapons before, but I have never seen an actual comparison.
The weapons in the hands of both sides were seen sweeping through the cold wind. With a crisp clang, the two knives collided in the air. The two veterans holding the knives were full of northern wind and frost.
Looking again, Da Qi's good knife had a hole in it.
"What a magic weapon!" Uncle Zhou excitedly held the knife given by Shen You, his eyes becoming more and more eager as if he were looking at it as a treasure.
With such a good knife, he felt that he could kill a few more foreigners in battle.
"I wonder what materials these weapons are made of?"
If Daqi can learn it, it will definitely improve its combat power and form a powerful army.
"You don't have this kind of material here, and you can't reach the temperature required for smelting." Shen You replied.
"Is it an extraterrestrial thing?" Uncle Zhou immediately thought of the rumored meteorite.
It is very difficult to find one, and it depends on the fate. Shopkeeper Shen actually has so many in his hands? !
"You can say that." Shen You nodded.
There is nothing wrong with weapons that come from across dimensions and are said to be alien.
In ancient times, if there was a forging method for such a weapon, it would definitely be a powerful weapon among all the forces.
Shen You has read Daqi's military information.
The cavalry that can fight are all lightly armored, and there are many without armor. It's not that they can't make armor, but they don't have the logistics to support it.
In ancient times, wearing armor depended on logistics. It was not easy to maintain a cavalry team.
As for the heavy armored cavalry, they were precious military resources. The average person's physique simply could not wear such heavy armor.
The foreigners have heavy cavalry, so how can Daqi fight against them?
What's even more embarrassing is that the method of artificial armor by foreigners was snatched from Daqi when they invaded.
What the defenders in the city were most worried about was the heavy armored cavalry. Fortunately, the news they received did not show that the heavy cavalry had come to Shuozhou.
The best thing to use for defending the city is arrows. Shen You can't get these things. The capital has them, and Li Heng doesn't dare to touch the armory.
Once discovered, he had no way of explaining it. Either he admitted that he wanted to rebel, or he confessed to his shop, and he would be finished.
He has to take the overall situation into consideration and cannot take such a big risk.
The supplies Shen You brought could sustain Shuozhou City for ten days and a half, but without arrows, the foreigners could not stop them even if they attacked the city.
In the confrontation between the two armies, psychological warfare and information gaps are also very important. The specific implementation can only rely on Liu Yunyan and the others.
When Liu Yunyan and others left the shop and returned to the military camp, it was bright and clear. Everyone was given sweet white steamed buns, warm sleeping bags, and down jackets. They were so happy to hold these things.
Seeing so many supplies, morale was greatly boosted.
"General, where did you get this steamed bun? It's so delicious! Many people are reluctant to eat the second one." Everyone didn't know how the stuff was transported into the city through the siege of the foreigners. They thought it was reinforcements coming, but when they saw As soon as Liu Yunyan came back, he hurriedly asked.
"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, but some experts from outside the world have tried their best to bring things in to help us." Liu Yunyan replied.
"Are there any arrows?" Someone asked this question.
"Of course there is." Liu Yunyan said calmly.
I don’t know if there are any spies in the city. No one can reveal the real situation except a few trusted veterans.
Entering the meeting room, several people immediately started discussing.
"I have been thinking about the tactics given by Shopkeeper Shen just now, and the three-three system tactical thinking is simply amazing! Once the reinforcements arrive, we can try to use this method to counterattack."
If the city gate is really broken, you can still fight with the foreigners.
At least buy some time for the people in the city.
"Shopkeeper Shen also said that it won't work without strong organizational skills and this tactic."
Liu Yunyan looked at the sand table and carefully considered every possibility.
At this moment, news suddenly came that the reinforcements led by General Lu, which were scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon, were intercepted by foreigners.
It's the heavily armored cavalry army.
The two sides are going to fight first.
In other words, the reinforcements could not reach Shuozhou City.
This news was deliberately brought in by foreigners, in order to demoralize the troops in the city.
"General Liu, is the news true or false? How come General Lu suddenly encountered a heavy armored army of foreigners?"
Their biggest hope was reinforcements. They had endured such difficult conditions until now. As soon as they obtained supplies, they suddenly said that the reinforcements were gone.
You can imagine how big the blow was.
Liu Yunyan quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "The news is true."
"If the city of Shuozhou is defeated, the foreigners will attack General Lu. By then, the entire northern land will be under their control. If General Lu is defeated, the heavy armored army will continue to come north to Shuozhou."
Of course, the foreigners believed that Shuozhou City would be broken first, so that they could assist the heavy armored army as quickly as possible.
The army led by General Lu is an important combat force of Da Qi. Apart from this, there is no cavalry that can fight.
From the beginning of the siege of Shuozhou City, they cut off supplies and were unwilling to waste manpower on the attack. They just waited for the heavy armor army to intercept the reinforcements.
They could do nothing but defend the city with all their strength, hoping that General Lu would be able to hold on and wait until the Imperial Guards.
"It's time for us to spread the news." Liu Yunyan said calmly.
The foreigners were preparing to capture the city's defenders in one fell swoop when their chests were pressed against their backs due to hunger and their morale was flagging.
After preparing their troops and horses, they arrived at the foot of the city, only to see the Daqi soldiers' faces glowing red. There were also people on the city tower eating noodles with exaggeratedly colored bowls.
You can still see the smoke coming from the fires burning in the city.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the Daqi people have no food and grass?" The foreign general stared angrily.
None of their people can eat steaming pancakes!
"No, I don't know. I heard that Da Qi sent supplies. They were all good rice and noodles, as well as dry food from the Western Regions." His subordinates also looked horrified.
"Impossible! Shuozhou City is so tightly surrounded that even a rabbit can't escape. How can they transport food! Unless they really have ghosts and gods to help them!"
The foreign general's cold gaze fell on the woman with her hair bound in white linen on the tower.
