Chapter 471 This is also OK
The most commonly used weapon by the Hubei Northern Army was the long sword, but because the number of cavalry was small, the long sword was not suitable for every branch of the army.
The machetes of ordinary soldiers were too heavy and not suitable for individual combat, while traditional daggers could not cause much damage.
Before the war started, Old Qin was trying to use crucible steel to make bayonets.
Half a month ago, the experiment was successful.
The bayonet that Shen Xiao brought was somewhat special. It was not the ordinary bayonet that Liang Cheng and others had seen before, but a new weapon in the shape of a large spiral with a sharp tip and one side.
"General, please look. This thorn is seven inches long and has holes on it. Poison can be hidden in it. At the same time, the tip of the thorn and the sharp edge can cause difficult-to-heal damage to the enemy." Shen Xiao also took a thorn in his hand and talked to Liang Cheng.
Although this weapon bears the name of Old Qin, Shen Xiao was the one who actually proposed the improvement suggestions. He definitely made an indelible contribution to its current state.
While Liang Cheng was listening, he looked at Shen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.
There is no need to talk about the character of Master Shen. No one in the Shen family has ever been particularly outstanding before. But now, looking at Shen Xiao in front of him and the sharp-tongued girl Shen Qingqian, it is not difficult to see that the Shen family is very good at educating the younger generation.
"Old Qin also wanted to come, but he has difficulty walking these days, so he asked us to deliver the things first so that the soldiers can fight bravely on the battlefield." After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Liang Cheng with bright eyes.
Liang Cheng smiled and patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, saying, "Young people are formidable. You go down and rest first."
Shen Xiao bowed and said goodbye, but Liang Cheng suddenly called him again, "The girl from the Shen family is in the small tent near the wounded camp."
"Thank you, General!" Shen Xiao thanked him quickly with a warm smile on his face.
He hadn't seen his sixth sister for more than half a month, and he and his family missed her very much. They had originally planned to visit his sixth sister first after they got out and then find a place to stay.
Liang Cheng’s attitude at this time made Shen Xiao secretly relieved.
The Shen family knew the relationship between Shen Qingqian and Liang Cheng, but Liang Cheng's attitude had been very cold before, and he had never taken the initiative to contact the Liang family. The Shen family was not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that Shen Qingqian would be troubled in the army.
Now it seems that Liang Cheng should have recognized Shen Qingqian.
When Shen Xiao came over, Shen Qingqian was just about to go to bed.
"Brother" Shen Qingqian looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shen Xiao habitually raised his hand to touch the top of her head, but he quickly realized that Shen Qingqian would be coming of age this year, so he withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I came to deliver the weapons. I just came out from the general."
"What weapon?" Shen Qingqian asked casually.
Shen Xiao took out the bayonet he had specially made for himself from behind his waist, "That's it, it's not a complicated thing, but it can increase our army's lethality on the battlefield."
Shen Qingqian's eyes widened when she saw it. This is also possible.
The weapon of thorns appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but due to the low productivity at that time, the ones made were not quite the same as those seen later.
After historical improvements, the bayonet became a weapon for close combat.
In Shen Qingqian's world, the most famous is the rifle and bayonet combination equipped by the island nation's troops during World War II.
Later, with the rise of hot weapons, cold weapons almost completely withdrew from the battlefield.
Who could have imagined that Shen Xiao, in a different time and space, could have invented the spiral bayonet, which only appeared in later generations, so many years in advance!
