Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 149 What is there to fear?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is impossible. Even if the infantry has new equipment, it may be against the cavalry..."

"It turns out that this thing is called Mo Dao, um, but it is very big and imposing, and it can cut away from the cavalry."

"No matter how powerful you are and how far you can open the distance, the battlefield is changing rapidly. The weapons used by infantry to restrain cavalry are arrows and arrows. I have never heard of anyone who can hold cavalry hard. It is useless to use anything!"

"Yes, if the infantry wants to defeat the cavalry, in addition to being strong willed, it must be at least ten times or even twenty times stronger than the cavalry, and the cavalry must not be able to run, otherwise the battle will not be fought at all!"

"Hehe, isn't this nonsense, even if there are twenty times the opponent's infantry, the consumption alone will drag down our army..."

The ministers said what you said, and I said what I said. When arguing in front of Li Shimin, the basic meaning is the same, that is, they don't believe that the infantry can defeat the cavalry after being equipped with a Modao.

They are all generals who have dealt with Huqi outside the Great Wall, and they know what Huqi outside the Great Wall looks like. In the eyes of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Huqi outside the Great Wall's combat power is far stronger than that of the pawns of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not that you want others to destroy your prestige, but that Hu Qi outside the Great Wall is really strong, he knows how to ride and shoot, and he has war horses. It's a small car, it can't hit it at all!

"Don't be impatient everyone, I know you don't believe it, but a few days ago, I have ordered the general to build the prison, and made the Modao day and night. I want you to have a good experience. Yesterday, my first Modao in the Tang Dynasty was successfully built. It is." Li Shimin laughed.

"Oh, what does your Majesty mean to let me see the power of Mo Dao?" Yuchi Jingde's eyes lit up.

Yuchi Jingde already had an inexplicable feeling for Mo Dao when he saw the crafting diagram of Mo Dao just now. After hearing that one has been built, he became excited and had an urge to try it.

In Yuchi Jingde's eyes, this ferocious weapon with a length of more than two meters and a weight of more than thirty catties was specially ordered for a strong general like him.

So Yuchi Jingde really wanted to see Mo Dao right away, and so did the other courtiers, so Li Shimin waved his hand, "That's exactly what I want, let's go, go to the martial arts arena!"

"Observe the decree!" The ministers suddenly agreed, and then followed Li Shimin to the martial arts arena in the palace.

Great Tang Dynasty Martial Arts, the martial arts arena in the imperial palace covers a very large area. In addition to Li Shimin, there are many princes and princesses who will practice martial arts here.

At this time, in the martial arts arena, there were already hundreds of elite riders guarding a long black sword.

The handle of the long knife is at least 1.2 meters long, and the blade is more than one meter long. There is a faint cold light shining on the blade. From a distance, one can not only feel its thickness, but also feel that it is full of chilling air.

This weapon is the Modao, the first Modao in the Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin heard that it was manufactured, he immediately ordered Baiqisi to send elites to take care of it.

Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing and the others, after seeing the magic way, their eyes immediately radiated dazzling brilliance. This kind of feeling of looking at the real thing is completely different from looking at the blueprint.

"Your Majesty, can we take a closer look?" The generals couldn't bear their tempers, but they were in the palace, guarded by hundreds of horsemen, and without Li Shimin's approval, no one dared to do anything wrong.

"Go." Seeing his generals looking itchy, Li Shimin waved at Baiqi, who immediately moved out of the way.

Seeing His Majesty's permission to take a closer look, the generals immediately swarmed up, approached Mo Dao, and began to watch carefully.

This Mo Dao was crafted by dozens of blacksmiths who worked day and night and took four days of painstaking efforts.

Whether it is craftsmanship or quality, it can be called the first in the Tang Dynasty, so even when the generals look closely, they can't see the slightest flaw, which makes the generals all amazed.

"My darling, this is Mo Dao, it looks like it has a lot of weight."

"Perfect, beautiful, it's like a custom-made weapon for me, hahaha..."

"Shameless, can you still carry this thing as an old thing? But to be honest, this thing is so big, I am afraid that few ordinary soldiers can use it as a weapon."

"But it cannot be denied that as long as my Tang army can really be equipped with such weapons, it will definitely form a deterrent force on the battlefield!"

"This thing is not for viewing, it is for use. Looking at this physique, at least thirty catties can go up. Only a few of us can use such a big guy. Ordinary soldiers want to wave and kill the enemy on the battlefield. , It's just a joke!"

Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and others circled around Mo Dao and pointed, and the discussion started instantly. Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others also came to the front. Hearing the generals' discussion, Li Shimin smiled faintly.

"Since it is a new type of weapon, I am naturally preparing to equip it with suitable soldiers, and specially train the Modao team."

"This weapon is indeed heavy, but its lethality is absolutely astonishing. When it comes to the battlefield, you will know it."

Li Shimin learned from Li Fu's voice that the mobility of the Modao team is definitely better than that of the cavalry, and the role of the Modao team is definitely not like that of the cavalry, so the mobility of the Modao team is not considered at all.

Changsun Wuji walked around Mo Dao several times, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I am sure that Mo Dao is a powerful weapon, but if it is said that it can directly defeat the cavalry, I am afraid it is a bit exaggerated."

Li Jing also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the maneuverability and surprise attack of cavalry are much better than that of infantry. Even the bravest pawns equipped with Shangmo Dao may not be able to compare with cavalry!"

After listening to Changsun Wuji and Li Jing's words, the civil and military officials present all agreed after careful consideration, thinking that even if the pawns equipped with Mo Dao encountered Huqi outside the Great Wall, they might not be able to take advantage of it.

Although they all marveled at the craftsmanship of the Modao, they only admitted that it was a good infantry weapon. As for being able to defeat and defeat cavalry, no one would think that way.

"You guys, if you don't know much about it, you don't know how powerful Mo Dao is!" Li Shimin made a casual move, and a burly knight soldier among the hundreds of knights present stepped forward and saluted Li Shimin.

"This is my soldier of the Tang Dynasty. I have let him use the Mo Dao, and he has realized the subtlety of the Mo Dao."

Li Shimin smiled and looked at Wei Guogong in front of him, "Li Jing, you are good at horse fighting, do you dare to compete with my Mo Dao hand?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the officials suddenly understood that Li Shimin wanted to demonstrate on the spot.

Hearing this, Li Jing smiled lightly, even if it is a hundred knights, as long as they are not fighting on foot, why should they be afraid to fight against them on horseback?
