In the royal study, Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin stood facing each other.
"Cheng Zhijie, is what you said true?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.”
"Your Majesty, how could I be spouting nonsense? Besides, Great Craftsman Tang is right here. How could I be joking?"”
"Show it to me."”
Cheng Yaojin handed over the box. Li Shimin took the box and went to the window.
"Your Majesty, be careful of your eyes."
"Don't look at the sun."
Li Shimin said disdainfully,"How bright can you be?"”
Li Shiming opened the box. My eyes!"
Cheng Yaojin covered his forehead.
Li Shi Min closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened the box.
He opened his eyes after getting used to it.”
"This iron isn't black, it's bright silver."”
Li Shi Min picked up the spearhead and looked at his face reflected on it."If this iron is used to make mirrors, it's not bad.”
Cheng Yaojin: " Your Majesty, don't joke around. Such good iron, how can you use it to make a mirror? Your Majesty, try out how sharp this iron is."
"No need." Li Shimin: " What's the point of testing the sharpness of the spear head? Commander Pei, take my waist token and go to the arsenal to get a high-grade spear shaft. Ask Great Craftsman Tang to secretly install it."”
"Bring me a steel spear.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
By the Tang Dynasty, the leather armor was already very complete.
Especially on the grasslands.
Some of the Prairie Kingdoms had already mastered some iron-making techniques, and heavy cavalry had already appeared.
Therefore, weapons, especially main weapons, must be heavy.
If he couldn't chop them to death, he would beat them to death.
Therefore, spear handles were no longer limited to high-quality wood. There were also many spear handles made of flexible metals.
Very soon, Pei Xingjian brought over a steel spear.
The handle of the spear was black, but it was also glowing.
This was the most basic stainless steel. It was a type of steel that was formed after the surface was anti-corrosive.
It had appeared during the Sui Dynasty, and during the early Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Works of the imperial court had long since mastered the production method of fine iron.
"It's a standard spear shaft. It's very easy to put it on the spearhead.”
Great Craftsman Tang began to put on the spearhead, and it was done in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Your Majesty."
Li Shi Min picked up the long spear.
"The spear is suitable for horse battle. I am dressed in a complicated outfit. Commander Pei, you test the spear.”
"Eunuch Yang, go to the imperial kitchen and ask for a whole plate of pigs.”
Outside the royal study, the pig was wearing a double-layered leather armor.
"Among the Hu, even the Great Generals can only defend like this. Commander Pei, try riding your horse."”
Pei Xingjian rode on his horse, the spear in his hand spinning.
"Giddyup!"
Without double boarding, only the most powerful martial artists could attack with weapons in both hands.
Pei Xingjian's martial arts were very strong.
As the date red horse galloped, Pei Xingjian used both hands to rotate the long spear and swept across the army.
"Rip ~"
The horse ran past, and an eight-inch-long hole was cut in the double leather armor.
The pork inside was cut open.
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin went forward and gasped after seeing the current situation of the pork.
The pork had already been cut open, leaving a deep mark on the ribs.
With just one shot, a target with astonishing defense was dead.
His chest was cut open!
One had to know that ordinary weapons couldn't even pierce through the double-layered leather armor.
It could only pierce through 10% of the leather armor.
Even the triangular arrows from the strong bow could only damage the two-layered leather armor within ten steps.
Usually, when dealing with enemies with such defenses, the general would rely on his strength to directly smash the opponent to death.
Directly cutting open the double layer of leather armor and using the remaining strength to cut open the other party?
How sharp was this?
Pei Xingjian stopped his horse and raised the spearhead to take a look."Your Majesty, there are no scratches."
"Divine weapon!" Li Shi Min patted the double-layered leather armor.”
"Haha, I actually made such a divine weapon!”
"Commander Pei, try using the normal cavalry's method of stabbing."”
Pei Xingjian rode his horse back and they met again.
This time, it directly pierced the iron helmet of the pig head.
Previously, Pei Xingjian was afraid that he would break his weapon if he used too much strength. However, after seeing the power of this spear, he had nothing to worry about.
He held a spear in one hand and rode his horse past.
"Shing!"
The pig head stuffed in the iron helmet was directly pierced through by violence.
The iron helmet was cut open like mud.
The helmet formed a wound as wide as the tip of a spear, tearing through the entire helmet.
The thick bones of the pig's head inside were directly crushed into pieces, and at the same time, the skin and flesh outside were crushed.
Even…the wooden stake that was used to hang the pork was pierced through.
Pei Xingjian brandished his spear and pulled the flowers off his horse."Your Majesty, the iron helmet is not worth mentioning in front of this spear.”
"Just now, I used the strength to lift a person, plus the momentum of the horse, it should be about the same as an ordinary cavalry's full strength attack.”
" In that case…" Li Shimin said,""If our Tang cavalry were equipped with steel weapons, could everyone fight a Hu cavalry general?”
Pei Xingjian thought for a moment." Under the same conditions, if the other party wants to kill our cavalry, they need to dodge and block and smash down with all their strength.”
"And if our cavalry has the chance, they can directly tear through the leather armor. In that case, it's not impossible for ordinary cavalry to deal with the Hu cavalry.”
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other.
"Cheng Yaojin, did you bring your usual clothes? Accompany me out of the palace once.”
