Three days later.

Tao Ying was listening to Yin Li's report on issues such as the recruitment of Yellow Turbans and land distribution around Mou County in a large tent in the mining area. The blacksmith's voice came from outside the tent asking for permission.

"Mr. Tao Fu, this is a sword made by our craftsmen using a new method. Please accept it, Mr. Tao Fu."

The visitor raised the sword horizontally above his head with both hands. Yan Liang stepped forward to take it and handed it to Tao Ying.

"What a sword!"

The moment Tao Ying stood up and took the sword, he felt how good the newly made sword was and immediately praised it.

"Let's go outside and try."

Tao Ying turned over and over to weigh the sword while walking outside the tent.

"Wen Heng, come here, let's watch the dance."

He held a few sword flowers outside the tent, slashed them diagonally, and stabbed him straight a few times. He was really not a swordsman and could not appreciate the quality of the sword, so Tao Ying threw the sword to Yan Liang.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action.

The sword in Yan Liang's hand shined instantly, and the sword energy danced across the ground, whistling like the wind.

"Stop, try the sharpness."

After all, Yan Liang was a swordsman. Tao Ying did not see the heroic appearance and beauty of swordsmen dancing in later movies and TV dramas, so he immediately stopped.

After all, Tao Ying's new steel-making method deals with the toughness and sharpness of weapons. It is for killing people, not for performances.

"Wen Heng, take this sword and slash your sword to see the difference."

Yan Liang weighed the sword in his hand and shook his head secretly, knowing the result in his heart.

"This sword is too light. If it hits my heavy sword head-on, it will definitely be a cut-off."

Yan Liang did not hesitate. He took his sword and held it in his left hand. He held the new sword in his right hand and slashed hard.

"Dang..."

There was a crisp sound of metal collision. Except for the craftsman, Tao Ying, Yan Liang, and Yin Li, the mouths of the three people suddenly opened wide, their eyes widened, and their eyes radiated surprise and heat.

Yan Liang's sword did indeed break in two pieces.

But what was broken was not the new lightweight sword, but Yan Liang's own heavy sword.

"It is truly a sword!"

After Yan Liang came back to his senses, he threw away his severed epee with disgust and looked at the newly forged sword over and over.

"If we were to fight in battle at this moment, I would definitely be dead or injured!"

Thinking of the serious consequences, Yan Liang actually broke out in cold sweat on his forehead in the severe cold winter.

"Congratulations to the Lord for obtaining the artifact!"

Yin Li's face was full of wonder and joy, but there was no trace of envy or coveting in his eyes.

"Hey, I'll have to ask the craftsmen to make a sword for me later."

The factories and mines are all under his control, and Yin Li certainly knows the principle of those who are near the water and the towers first get the moon.

"Well, not bad, he is indeed a master craftsman!"

Tao Ying took the sword and looked at the blade again. There was no gap, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Wen Heng, your sword is useless, this one belongs to you."

Tao Ying threw the sword to Yan Liang without hesitation.

Tao Ying's idea was similar to Yin Li's. He had his own arsenal, so he didn't have any weapons he wanted.

"Thank you, Lord, for the sword!"

Yan Liang knelt on the ground, held his sword in both hands, and bowed to Tao Ying with a serious face.

"Huh?"

Seeing Yan Liang's scene, Tao Ying suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Isn't there an allusion to the 'Zhongzheng Sword' in later generations? It seems that this is also a way to win over people's hearts and seize territory!"

How could Tao Ying let such a good opportunity go to waste?

"Zi Lu, immediately reward all craftsmen who participated in casting this sword and improving the casting process."

If you want a horse to run, give it grass to eat. Tao Ying understands the secret of this.

"No!"

Yin Li immediately turned around to win people's hearts and took the private goods with him.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll draw a picture for you."

Tao Ying kept the blacksmith who came to deliver the sword, asked the guard to pour him a cup of tea, and hurriedly drew the "Zhongzheng Sword" pattern that he had suddenly imagined.

Oh, no, it should be called "Heavy Light Sword" now.

The sword pattern is very simple and Tao Ying has seen it many times in the museum.

It is said that in addition to being an ornament and a symbol of glory, this sword is also used to commit suicide; because the sword is engraved with the words "Successful Success", it is also called the "Suicide Sword".

"Immediately make me these two swords and this 'heavy lightsaber'."

It didn't take long for Tao Ying to draw the heavy lightsaber he wanted, and handed it to the blacksmith along with a drawing he had prepared earlier.

The blacksmith first looked at the "Chongguang Sword". This sword is similar to an elongated dagger. One side of the hilt is engraved with "Taishan Volunteers are invincible" and the other side is engraved with the words "Tao Chongguang Gift".

The sword body is also engraved with "Success into Ren" and a unique number.

"This 'heavy lightsaber' is short and powerful, and does not seem to be used in actual combat."

The blacksmith saw the purpose of the heavy lightsaber at a glance. Apart from the troublesome engraving, it was easy to make.

"This 'heavy lightsaber' can only be cast in one hundred pieces. It must be made carefully."

Tao Ying proposed the casting process and requirements for the heavy lightsaber.

"As for the words on the sword, I will teach you a casting method. First, cast the words with cast iron like a seal, and then stamp them on the sword one by one. This will make them uniform and beautiful without damaging the sword body."<

/p>

The blacksmith pondered for a moment and immediately thought of the benefits of this method. He was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Tao Ying.

"Fu Jun is truly a god!"

Tao Ying smiled and pointed to another picture for the blacksmith to see.

"The name of this sword is 'Tang'."

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the blacksmith and Yan Liang who came forward, Tao Ying explained.

"The one with the short handle is the 'Heng Dao', and the one with the long handle is the 'Mo Dao'."

The two knives painted on the picture are exactly the style of the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao and Heng Dao that Tao Ying brought here.

The Mo Dao is a long, two-edged sword that is heavier and is a sharp weapon against cavalry.

The Hengdao is a two-handed sword. It is an improvement on the Huanshou Dao currently equipped by the Han army. The ring at the end of the handle is removed, and the short handle is extended to a long handle that can be used with both hands, making it usable.

A long straight knife with a narrow blade and thick spine for use with both hands.

"Tang Dao? Why not a pottery Dao?"

Yin Li, who had left and returned, secretly had questions in his heart after hearing Tao Ying's explanation.

"My Lord, this long-handled Mo Dao is a powerful weapon against cavalry!"

They are both men who lead troops. After careful consideration, Yan Liang and Yin Li discovered the beauty of Tang Dao.

Especially Yan Liang, the excitement on his face is undisguised.

"A long-distance attack, invincible!"

Yan Liang is good at leading cavalry to attack, and the weapon in his hand is also a long sword, so he naturally knows the magical effect of Mo Dao against cavalry.

"I can't help but see that this Mo Dao is shaped like a broad-bladed spear awl and can be used as a spear."

Yin Li's weapon was a spear. He saw that the Heng Dao had a narrow blade and could also be used for assassination like a spear.

"Both of you are right. This is exactly the unique weapon I want to build for the infantry of the Xuanjia Army. It can deal with cavalry and can also sprint."

The Mo Dao became popular from around the time when Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty transferred Lu to the Kaiyuan decade. It was specially used to deal with Turkic cavalry and became one of the main battle weapons of the Tang infantry.

"This short-handled horizontal sword is specially allocated to sword and shield soldiers, right? It is light and sharp, which can help improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers."

The horizontal sword, also known as the "Tang broadsword", was also a sword commonly worn by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Because of its powerful combat effectiveness, it became the originator of the Japanese samurai sword.

The blacksmith's eyesight is still very sharp, and he can see the advantages and power of Tang Dao at a glance.

"Sure enough, people who specialize in the art industry and are born to do this have unique vision!"

Facing the blacksmith's gaze, Tao Ying nodded appreciatively.

"I have known you for such a long time, but you still don't know your master's surname and where is your hometown?"

When asked, the blacksmith hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, looking frightened.
