The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 371: Discussion on Weapons

Qin Yu, as the prince of Da Xia, is the most unique among his brothers. He has been interested in military affairs since he was a child, and naturally knows the characteristics of various weapons well.

However, he had never seen such a strange weapon. The weapon in his hand at this moment made him feel an unprecedented novelty and curiosity, and he couldn't help but want to find out.

Just now, he was struck by the three-sided meaning of Qin Hao's casual words, and he suddenly realized it as if he had been enlightened, and he instantly understood the beauty of it.

"A weapon with blades on three sides."

Qin Yu muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming, "Once this thing pierces the human body, the wound will be extremely strange and difficult to heal. Ordinary weapons may be able to be sutured, but the wound caused by this three-sided bladed weapon will definitely be difficult to heal, or even impossible to heal."

Thinking of this, Qin Yu could not help but feel a deeper respect and curiosity for this weapon. He knew very well that this weapon was by no means an ordinary thing, and its existence would surely bring more cruel and bloody killings to the battlefield.

When Qin Hao heard this, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "This boy is teachable."

In his memories of his previous life, there was a rumor that the three-edged military bayonet was banished from the battlefield because it was too cruel, and it was said that the wounds it caused were difficult to heal.

However, this is just a misunderstanding. In fact, the reason why the three-edged bayonet was withdrawn from the battlefield was not because it was cruel, but because its function was too single and difficult to adapt to the complex needs of the modern battlefield.

But in the ancient times when agriculture was still in progress, the situation was completely different. The puncture wound caused by the three-edged military thorn was undoubtedly a difficult problem that could not be solved in this era of scarce medical conditions.

Because in this world, even the imperial doctors in the palace cannot perform delicate surgeries like in modern society, let alone use advanced medical equipment and drugs to promote wound healing.

Therefore, the three-edged bayonet can still maintain its unique power here. Its sharpness is enough to make the enemy lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time, or even kill him directly.

Qin Hao knew this very well, so he was extremely cautious in using the triangular military bayonet.

He understood that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by having more weapons and equipment and making the country he lived in stronger could he survive better.

The triangular bayonet is one of the important weapons he relies on to survive in this world.

Qin Yu's eyes sparkled with approval, and he praised, "This is really a good thing, but I think there is still room for improvement."

Qin Hao heard this, a hint of curiosity and expectation flashed in his eyes, he smiled and said: "Oh? Third brother, do you have other good ideas?"

Qin Yu was immediately interested. He rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He laughed and said, "Brother, look. We can add some sharp barbs to this bayonet. In this way, when the bayonet pierces the enemy's body, these barbs can tear off the enemy's flesh when it is pulled out, making the wound larger and making them suffer unbearable pain."

He paused, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and continued, "Furthermore, we can try to poison them. Even if the bayonet cannot kill them in one blow, the poison can slowly erode the enemy's life, and the poison can kill them."

Qin Hao nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with appreciation. He stared at Qin Yu blankly, thinking to himself that this third brother always brings some unexpected surprises.

"Oh, by the way, Third Brother, I also remembered this!"

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with inspiration, and the pen in his hand was as fast as lightning, quickly sketching out the shape of a hook-and-sickle spear. He pointed at the finished drawing and said excitedly: "Look, this is the hook-and-sickle spear. Its sharp hook can cleverly hook the horse's legs and specifically defeat the chain horse formation."

"Isn't the strength of the Liao Dynasty due to the bravery of its cavalry? We can form an army that specializes in using hook-and-sickle spears and let them focus on attacking the horse's legs. This will greatly hinder the speed of the heavy cavalry. The power of cavalry lies in its momentum of charging into battle. Once its speed is hindered or the horse has no legs, its threat will be greatly reduced. At that time, we can use the power of infantry to defeat the arrogant cavalry and win the battle!"

After saying that, Qin Hao took the drawing from Qin Yu and carefully selected one from it. His eyes were shining with brilliance, as if he had already seen the future battlefield.

He pointed at the pattern on the blueprint and said excitedly, "Third brother, look, this is also a magic weapon I designed specifically to deal with the Liao cavalry. It's called caltrops. Once we engage the enemy, we can pretend to be defeated and have our cavalry casually scatter these caltrops on the ground during their retreat, making sure that the enemy cavalry will fall to the ground wherever they pass!"

Qin Yu approached the drawing curiously, and saw a sharp object on it. He couldn't help but doubt: "Brother, is it really as powerful as you said?"

Qin Hao smiled confidently and said, "Although these caltrops may look simple, their power should not be underestimated. Once the enemy cavalry steps over them, they will pierce into the horses' hooves, making it difficult for the enemy's horses to keep their balance. They will inevitably fall off their horses and will no longer be able to chase us. In this way, we can take this opportunity to turn defeat into victory and make the enemy pay a heavy price."

Just as Qin Hao was speaking excitedly, he suddenly noticed that Qin Yu and Qin Yuan beside him looked a little strange.

The two of them widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief, staring at him as if they had seen a monster.

Qin Hao couldn't help but feel puzzled, and subconsciously asked: "Do you think there is something wrong with you looking at me like this?"

Qin Yu frowned and asked curiously: "Brother, where did you learn all these things? Why have we never heard of them?"

Qin Yuan also put down the blueprint in his hand, came up and said: "Brother, although these methods seem clever, aren't they a little too insidious?"

"Insidious? I don't think so."

Qin Hao avoided the main point and did not answer Qin Yu's question. Instead, he chose to explain the confusion in their hearts for the two of them. "In this world, some things are not black and white. Sometimes, in order to achieve a higher goal, we have to take some seemingly not-so-bright means. As long as our original intention is for the welfare of the country and the people, then these means are worth it."

"Besides, on the battlefield, it is a life-and-death contest. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. So of course, we must do whatever it takes to win. There is no such thing as being mean or not. Do you think there is fairness, justice and morality in war? You want the Liao cavalry to give up their horses and fight our infantry. Is that possible?"
