Chapter 225 Blade Wind
The machetes made by China during the Anti-Japanese War were not very good in terms of material, forging level, and practicality. A machete can easily curl, rust, break, etc. during battle. It is not so much that it is
To chop, it is better to say to smash, when faced with a katana or a machete
There are certain advantages. When facing a sharp samurai sword against a rusty machete with a curled blade, once a duel can be formed, the machete will probably be able to "smash" the samurai sword. Even sophisticated weapons are afraid of the machete.
Ah, there is a certain truth to the saying of beating the old master to death with random punches.
But what the machete faces is not an officer holding a samurai sword, but a soldier! The combination of the three-eight large cover and the bayonet makes it basically impossible for the machete to get close. From far to medium, the machete warrior will die seven to seven times.
I was lucky enough to be able to get close, but my physical strength was too much and I couldn't do any harm to them.
The bayonet is a simple action that trains the muscles and nerves, so it can reduce the consumption of physical strength. The machete has a set of chopping, piercing, swinging and other actions, including martial arts routines, but it consumes a lot of physical energy and is not suitable for it.
The situation at that time, so there is a reason why the bayonet soldiers frightened the soldiers at that time.
Similar to using a spear against your short knife, the natural advantage of attack distance has made machete warriors historically invincible as advertised.
The machete made by Ge Xiaohua is the result of the forging skills of this period in terms of material selection, forging, grinding and polishing, and quenching. The machete is not an inferior product as you think.
It took a day just to forge Ge Xiaohua. At the beginning, he used an air hammer to shape the material. After the blade embryo was initially formed, he used a violent hammer to carefully shape it to remove all the impurities in the material, leaving the real essence.
.
The careful crafting of the blade has suddenly improved the quality of the machete. After repeated forging, it is not only strong, not easy to break, rust-proof, but also sharper.
After the blade embryo was created, Ge Xiaohua used the method of covering the blade with soil and burning it to increase the rigidity and flexibility of the blade and blade. Whether the quenching is successful is also related to the overall performance of the machete.
"Stab it!" Ge Xiaohua successfully quenched it. Two days have passed and the knife embryo has been basically completed. On the last day, he started polishing, installing the handle, scabbard, etc. After improving the efficiency, one day was still enough for Ge Xiaohua to complete it.
On the other hand, Li Zhongwen was very good at making Korean swords. In three days, with the use of machinery, he quickly created a Korean sword. However, it was just like the template swords produced by the factory. It had no characteristics at first glance.
When I went up, I thought it was the kind of Chinese sword art that I bought online.
Most people can't tell the difference between Goryeo swords and Chinese swords. Of course, as imitation versions, there are still some subtle differences. They are not very obvious, but they are still there. For example, in terms of decoration, they are not as magnificent as Chinese swords.
He's a bit petty.
For three days, Ge Xiaohua and Li Zhongwen competed in a special venue of the Asian Forging Association. They had food and accommodation here. Special people were supervising. Although there was no public media, it would be recorded in the Asian Forging Association competition diary, video,
There will be a record in the text as a clear evidence of communication between members.
The works of Ge Xiaohua and Li Zhongwen have been produced. In addition to Yamamoto Masayasu, the judges also include some people whom Ge Xiaohua does not know. They are both white and Asian. From the temperament point of view, they all seem to be in high positions.
Li Zhongwen knew one of them, an official from the Korean Embassy in Japan.
It can be seen that Yamamoto Yuji's influence can even invite these officials, and with such officials around, Li Zhongwen will feel more comfortable.
Although Ge Xiaohua didn't know who these judges were, he had confidence in his work, so he didn't care.
As a high-ranking person, Li Zhongwen first stepped forward with a Goryeo sword and introduced: "I spent three days carefully making this Goryeo sword. It is exquisite in shape and extremely sharp. It inherits the advantages of the ancient Goryeo sword and is made in modern times.
The advanced technology makes this Goryeo knife capable of cutting iron as well as clay!"
Li Zhongwen then conducted tests such as sharpness, sturdiness, and durability, as well as some practical tests. The overall score reached about 8.2 points, which is considered a normal level.
Of course, this is just the first round of regular testing, and there will be several more rounds to follow, so that it will be fair.
In regular tests, Ge Xiaohua's machete reached a high score of 9.6. Even the South Korean ambassador praised the machete, which made Li Zhongwen a little flustered. At first, he still remembered that the machete built by Ge Xiaohua could not keep up with the speed of the machete.
Comparing his Korean knives, the first round of regular tests were so different, so how could they compare in the follow-up?
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Li Zhongwen mustered up the courage and planned to defeat Ge Xiaohua in actual combat!
The actual battle included pork killing and real-person PK. Li Zhongwen chose real-person PK. Ge Xiaohua held a machete and faced the Korean knife held by Li Zhongwen. Both of them were fully armed and wore special armors, gloves, etc.
Yes, the protective measures are in place.
The so-called sword has no eyes. Since it is a competition of forging skills, it should not hurt anyone. Both of them are blacksmiths and are technicians, not warriors, so there is no need to fight with their lives.
"Li Zhongwen, it's not too late to give up now." Ge Xiaohua said in fluent English. As an artist, Li Zhongwen has a good command of English and can understand what Ge Xiaohua is saying.
"Why should I give up?"
"What do you think?"
"I think it would be wise for you to abstain."
Ge Xiaohua and Li Zhongwen exchanged some words. After Yamamoto Masayasu announced the start, Li Zhongwen rushed towards Ge Xiaohua with a quick step, holding a Korean sword and slashed at Ge Xiaohua who was wearing armor.
"Qiang!" Ge Xiaohua seemed motionless, but suddenly raised his hand, and the machete withstood the fatal blow of the Korean sword.
Just one strike determines the outcome!
"Again!" Li Zhongwen yelled and planned to continue attacking with his Korean sword. Ge Xiaohua suddenly said: "It's over! Li Zhongwen, look at your sword."
"You gave up?"
"You can tell after you read it."
The Korean sword is full of cracks. If Li Zhongwen attacks Ge Xiaohua again, the Korean sword will become a pile of scrap metal!
"Ah? Why did my sword break? Impossible! Impossible, my sword is invincible."
Crazy Li Zhongwen lost his mind and hypnotized himself, thinking that these cracks were an illusion and continued to rush towards Ge Xiaohua.
"Bang, bang!" Ge Xiaohua has been in a state of passive defense, resisting several attacks. With the sound of breaking glass, the thin blade of the Goryeo knife completely collapsed. Ge Xiaohua suddenly burst into flames and swung the knife down. The wind of the knife
