Chapter 737: The Original Sin of Land Annexation and [National Debt]
In addition to flying swords, the killing weapons assigned to messengers also have other weapons with complementary functions.
When the messenger is unable to hold the sword and sit at the table, the hairpin becomes a secret weapon.
Ordinary hairpins are mostly made of jade or bamboo. Hairpins made of jade or bamboo will definitely not work. You can use metal hairpins instead, and replace the hairpins with copper and iron materials. Since copper is too soft, it is best to use metal hairpins.
Better still is an iron hairpin.
A hairpin is more than a handful long and as thick as a tachyon. The hairpin is too small. It is made of iron throughout and weighs no more than three or four liang. The weight of three or four liang is too light to exert huge destructive power.
Different from the flying sword, when making the flying sword, if three feet is not enough, you can add it to four feet. If it is not enough, you can continue to make it thicker and longer. The flying sword is loose in shape, so you can add enough weight to make the flying sword reach
The limit of destructive power.
However, the hairpin is different. The hairpin is just a little short. No matter how long it is, it will not add much weight. Moreover, if the hairpin is made too long, it will attract other people's attention.
The shape of the hairpin determines that it can only be a lightweight object. The crux is here. Because the hairpin is too light, the destructive power is seriously insufficient. If the hairpin is too light, it may not even be able to penetrate clothes, let alone clothes.
Injures target A.
The problem is that we should not only increase the weight of the hairpin as much as possible, but also not increase the volume of the hairpin too much. Under the constraints of these two conditions, there is only one way left - the only way is to use heavy metal to make the hairpin.
Copper is heavier than iron, so throwing a copper hairpin is more destructive than an iron hairpin. Copper has the advantage of weight, but copper is soft and not suitable for use as a weapon.
Among all kinds of metals, only iron is strong enough, so the pipes can only be made of cast iron and filled with copper, or lead, or even better, mercury.
After being blessed with mercury, a small hairpin can become several times heavier, thus increasing the destructive power of the hairpin to the limit.
Mercury is a good thing, and mercury is the heaviest thing you can find.
There was no mercury in the army, not even lead, so the blacksmiths had no choice but to hastily make a few iron hairpins.
The craftsmen quickly finished the iron hairpin.
According to the previous process of making flying swords, the front end of the iron hairpin is wrapped with a layer of copper for weight, which is to adjust the center of gravity; the tip of the iron hairpin is as slender as an iron nail, which is to improve the efficiency of drilling seams and holes.
Probability: The hairpin is rounded rather than flat or polygonal. This is because after testing, the cylindrical shape is more accurate.
At the test site, Li Mengxi took the flying hairpin and threw it around for a while, not to mention other people's hands, and had a great time.
The flying sword weighed several kilograms and Li could not throw it. The flying hairpin was not included in this list.
After testing, the iron hairpin can easily penetrate clothing at a distance of ten steps, and the hit rate is not bad. If it is replaced with a lead-filled or mercury-filled hairpin, its destructive power will be even stronger.
Different from the flying sword, the flying sword has a long and slender blade and is shaped like a javelin. It can be thrown like a javelin. The flying hairpin is too short and the throwing method of the javelin is awkward. It can only be thrown like a dart by holding one end.

The flying hairpin is too light to break through armor. With Guan Yu's strength, even if Guan Yu exerts his full strength, he can only barely break through the armor when he is only five steps away.
Even so, although it is weak in breaking armor, the flying hairpin is enough. As a small throwing weapon, the flying hairpin can only hit the target's unprotected face at a distance of a few steps, plus the poison on the flying hairpin.
Rust and the like can easily send the target away.
In addition to flying swords and flying hairpins, there is one last kind of decoration that can be used as a sharp weapon.
As we all know, people of some status like to wear jade rings on their waists. The jade rings are replaced by iron rings, and the iron rings are ground into sharp edges. This is also a throwing weapon.
If flying hairpins are relatively non-mainstream, then flying rings are much more practical. Ancient Indians used to use a circle of flying rings with blades to fight. Flying rings were even used as weapons on the battlefield in ancient India.
India can be called a depression of martial virtues. Ancient India was unbearable, but no matter how ruined ancient India is, the intensity of the battles on the battlefield will always be more intense than a fight involving dozens of people at a table.
Therefore, a flying ring that can be used on the battlefield is far more lethal than a flying hairpin.
The flying ring is made like a discus, a thick and heavy small discus. Throw it with full force. If it hits, the neck will be broken.
He ordered the craftsmen to rush out the discus, but the discus, which weighed two kilograms, had no time to be sharpened and was very rough.
I tried it at the training ground. Guan Yu grabbed the discus and swung it hard, and the discus flew about thirty steps away.
After that, the power was tested. From a distance of more than ten steps, he swung it in a round shape and threw it. The discus hit the iron armor with a whine, which could dent the armor.
It can be seen that the iron ring causes a blunt blow to the armor and cannot break the armor. I just don’t know how much force the iron ring can bend the armor and transmit it to the human body, and whether it can cause effective damage.
In the end, the last weapon left was the bell.
Isn't it too much to hang a brass bell as a decoration on the waist of a messenger or something like that?
The craftsmen complied with the order, melted the copper coins, and cast a three-pound melon-shaped hammer. A long rope was tied to the hammer, and a meteor hammer was made.
Li Mengxi had no idea about the killing effect of the meteor hammer. He thought that the meteor hammer might be quite destructive.
The destructive power of the meteor hammer is not only good, it is simply terrifying.
The meteor hammer was more dangerous to dance. Guan Yu pushed Li Mengxi aside, and after the entire thirty-step radius was vacated, Guan Yu pulled the rope and started spinning the meteor hammer.
The meteor hammer turned faster and faster, turning into a circle of black shadow. When the speed reached the limit, Guan Yu loosened his grip and followed the force to move the hammer head forward with the rope, and the hammer head slid forward.
Flying forward quickly in a beautiful arc.
With a loud sound, the meteor hammer hit the armor heavily.
Li Mengxi heard the impact of the armor even from a distance. He saw that when the meteor hammer hit the armor, the wooden stakes supporting the armor were tilted by the impact.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mengxi went to check and walked to the target. He saw that a large deep dent had been made in the chest area of the armor. He checked it carefully and found that the meteor hammer was not there.
It can destroy any piece of armor, but if it destroys the armor to such an extent, if it hits a person, it can crack the person's sternum. If it hits the heart, it can stop the person's heart through the heavy armor.
Li Mengxi poked the dent in the armor with his finger. He pressed his finger into the dent, and half of his knuckles were inserted into it.
Li Mengxi thought that with his small body, even if he was wearing armor, he would definitely die if he suffered such a heavy blow.
It can cause such damage to iron armor. If it hits the target person's face, it can kill him on the spot.
The meteor hammer is a blunt instrument. It can deform the armor but cannot break it. Li Mengxi thought that he could add an iron tip to the hammer head of the meteor hammer. In this way, when the meteor hammer hits the armor, it can not only break the armor but also deform it.
It can be deformed by being smashed and can also penetrate armor.
Not only the hammer head, but also many iron nails can be added to the hammer body, making the meteor hammer look like a mace. In this way, no matter how the hammer hits the armor, there will always be nails hitting the armor.
superior.
Suddenly, Li Mengxi remembered that the messenger could not carry a meteor hammer, the messenger could only carry a copper bell, and the copper bell could not have sharp edges on the outside. Otherwise, when outsiders saw a bell full of ferocious spikes hanging from the messenger's waist, how could they not be suspicious?
.
At this point, the messenger's various weapons are complete.
A lead flying hairpin is inserted into the messenger's head, and a bladed gold ring weighing two kilograms hangs from his waist. A large golden bell weighing one or three kilograms is tied to his waist and hips. The golden bell is wrapped around his waist, and his belt is wrapped around his waist several circumferences long.
In addition, the messenger carries two long blades, one is a sheathed three-foot flying sword, and the other is a thin iron hook with a length of more than four feet.
When the envoy and all the soldiers are ready, if there is a sudden change during the banquet, the envoy will draw the flying sword in his right hand and hold the iron hook in his left hand. If a sword is stabbed at him, he does not need to look carefully.
The enemy's swords were drawn away, and then, with this gap, the messenger jumped over and rushed towards the opponent's head. He rushed a few steps and approached. The flying sword in his hand was thrown towards the opponent's head with a whoosh, and he stood up.
The target was nailed on the spot.
If so, when the envoy goes to the banquet, he has no long sword, and when he changes his mind, the envoy immediately pulls out the flying hairpin and strikes the enemy from a distance. If within ten steps, the envoy has no armor and stomach, the one hit will be injured. Even if there is an armor and stomach, the envoy will be injured.
A flying hairpin can protect one's body and can also damage the enemy's face.
If, after hastily issuing the hairpin, the messenger still survives, at this time, he can pull the ring blade around his waist and untie the copper bell on his waist, especially for fighting.
