Chapter 34: This is a magic weapon

Gao Xianda looked at the big piece of stuffed together with farm tools and said with a black look on his face: "What is this..."

Takeda Nobuki was quite confident in his work and said: "This is a weapon I specially designed for you according to ancient books and combined with your physical characteristics!"

"Weapon?" Gao Xianda felt that Takeda Nobuki seemed to be fooling him.

Takeda Nobuki said: "That's right! It's a weapon! Legend has it that in the distant China, a long time ago, during the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, there was a powerful general with the surname Lu Bu and the name Fengxian. He was the first brave general of the Three Kingdoms, known as Lu Bu and the Red Rabbit of the Horse. He once fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang alone under Hulao Pass! This weapon was the weapon used by Lu Bu at the beginning, and its name was Fang Tian Hua Ji!"

Gao Xianda was embarrassed and almost got cancer. What did you say? The rake, sickle, and plow tied together in front of him was Fang Tian Hua Ji?

Gao Xianda was after all the people who had been involved in "The Deer and the Cauldron". The most popular among the Qing people was the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It can be said that everyone in the wealthy family owned one. They have always regarded "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a book of military techniques. Military generals often talk about the allusions of the Three Kingdoms when chatting between them.

Although weapons like Fang Tian Huaji have withdrawn from the historical stage because they are not suitable for military wars in normal battles, they can be seen on many martial arts sects or stages.

Gao Xianda said in his heart: "You really think I don't know?"

But Gao Xianda couldn't jump up and hit Takeda Nobuki in the face. After all, he was still his grandfather.

So Gao Xianda just picked up the three-piece set of farm tools and gestured casually for a few times.

The plowshare was tied to the stick with a rope, not a weld, so it was not very strong. Gao Xianda swayed a few times, and the plowshare fell off from it.

So the whole scene became even more awkward.

After a while, Gao Xianda finally said, "Grandpa, your weapon doesn't seem to be very strong..."

Takeda Nobuki smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no way, this is what I just assembled, and there will inevitably be some small flaws..."

Gao Xianda can only smile and say nothing now.

There was no choice but to say, "Tell me the truth. In fact, this thing was not designed by me, nor was it Fang Tian Hua Ji. The things on it were all ordinary farm tools, which I simply fixed with a rope and took it over."

Gao Xianda thought to himself: "I knew it a long time ago."

Takeda Nobuki said: "But I did think of a weapon that suits you. Your power is great, no better than others. If you use it well, it will be even more useful than a big gun."

Gao Xianda asked, "What is that?"

"Sledgehammer." Takeda Nobuki said, "Of course, a machete or axe can do it. The point is that it must be a heavy weapon with a long handle, but the shape is not important. This weapon is used on land, and they may be too bulky and inconvenient to swing. The enemy can easily avoid your attack and then counterattack. So there may be no swordsmanship and gun techniques. But when it comes to the battlefield, there are people everywhere. The enemy cannot move flexibly, and they can only parry. Riding a horse can increase your movement speed, and as long as your weapon is heavy enough, they can't handle it."

His point makes sense. At this moment, the image of a young player holding two gas tanks appeared in Gao Xianda's mind.

Speaking of which, in "The Deer and the Cauldron", there are also storytellers in various teahouses. Because the people advocated the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the "Biography of Yue Fei" which also fought against the Tartars was very popular.

The young general Yue Yun inside was holding a pair of drum-beating golden hammers. When the government prohibited the broadcast of "The Legend of Yue Fei", "Speaking of Tang" is also a very popular book. The world's number one master Li Yuanba also held a pair of drum-beating golden hammers worth more than 800 kilograms in his hand.

Although there are exaggerated parts in these books, there is no doubt that those who hold hammers are masters. After all, they are the weapons that can best exert their strength.

Gao Xianda also agreed with Takeda Nobuki's statement. However, Takeda Nobuki did not bring him a sledgehammer.

Takeda Nobuki then said, "I did have this idea, so I went to the blacksmith shop to ask. But a good knife maker doesn't take on these rough benzene jobs. Ordinary blacksmiths usually make farm tools, and there is not so much wealthy iron to use for hammers. The heaviest part of the shop is the plowshare, so I took it back."

But it is precisely because it is indeed heavy and cannot be tied to the wooden stick at all, so the weapon made by Takeda Nobuki is not strong at all.

Gao Xianda understood the causes and consequences, and knew that Takeda Nobuki was indeed thinking about problems for him, but because of the limited conditions, he only got such an immature work back. Therefore, Gao Xianda was still quite grateful to Takeda Nobuki.

Gao Xianda said to Takeda Nobuki: "Grandpa, don't bother with weapons. Although my gun skills are a little worse, if I practice hard these days, it will be enough to deal with some minions. If I really meet a master of gun skills, I can't beat him, wouldn't I run away?"

Takeda Nobuki said, "As the Wu family, how can you think of running away when facing the enemy? Only by defeating the enemy spiritually can you defeat the enemy. If you dare not face the enemy, even if the opponent is just a minion, how can you win? And as the main general, if you retreat, what will the soldiers behind you think? Should they continue to charge or retreat with you? If you have the intention to retreat, then the entire team will be in chaos."

As a tactician, although the weapons he made were unreliable, the truth he said was still very reasonable.

Gao Xianda said, "When I face the enemy, I must have rushed over on a horse. If I feel that the enemy is powerful, then I will force myself to break through, then set a distance from him in the opposite direction, turn around and shoot him with an arrow from a long distance, isn't that the end?"

"Your idea is good, but it's so bumpy that you turn around and shoot again, how can you bear to beat it? Even if you can do it, a single arrow will have limited effect. And other cavalrymen don't have this ability. If you use an iron cannon that can be fired stably, there will be hope for success." Takeda Nobuki said, "But iron cannons are rare things. If you go to the merchant to inquire, you may be able to buy one or two. But it will be difficult to equip it to the army."

The so-called iron cannon is a clamp, not a real cannon. The kind of Shenwu cannon on Gao Xianda is called a big tube in Japan.
