Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 203: The Sabre from the End of the World
The best weapons in ancient times were meteorite iron weapons, partly because the high temperature of the atmosphere burned off some impurities. Even so, if it did not contain meteorites containing special materials, they would not be considered good in modern times.

Moreover, what Shen You took out were not crude handicrafts, but tools used to chop alien species in the apocalypse.

Liu Yunyan and the others looked at the treatment of the magic weapons in the shop, which were just casually placed on the ground. They looked at each other, and everyone had a look of heartache on their faces.

What a waste!

The blade is clean, without any mineral impurities, and even the marks of forging and hammering are not obvious. The exquisite workmanship is really hard to imagine.

The only thing is that the style is a bit strange. Such a good sword can become a family heirloom in anyone's family, but the handle and the blade do not have high-standard patterns. I really don't understand it.

It's like using the finest silk to make it feel like linen, and then pairing it with a pair of straw sandals to wear out.

It seems that this master likes the simple and unpretentious feeling when forging weapons.

Two people picked up the knives to test them on the spot. One used a good knife from Da Qi, and the other used a modern steel knife from the shop, which was also a military knife. Shen You had heard about it from people in the Lancheng plane at that time.

She was also a little curious about the scene and result of the knife test, and stared at the two people in the yard without blinking.

I have only seen text versions of the differences between ancient and modern cold weapons before, but have never seen a real comparison.

The weapons in the hands of both sides swept through the biting cold wind, and with a crisp clanging sound, the two swords collided in the air, and the two veterans holding the swords showed the experience of the northern wind and frost.

Looking again, there was a cut on Da Qi's good knife.

"It's really a magic weapon!" Uncle Zhou held the knife given by Shen You excitedly, his eyes becoming more and more eager as if he was looking at a treasure.

With such a good sword, he felt that he could kill a few more foreigners in battle.

"I wonder what materials these weapons are made of?"

If Da Qi can learn it, it will definitely be able to improve its combat capability and form a powerful army.

"You don't have this material here, and you can't reach the temperature required for smelting." Shen You replied.

"Is it something from outer space?" Uncle Zhou immediately thought of the rumored meteorite.

It's very difficult to find a piece, and it depends on whether you have the right fate. How could Shopkeeper Shen have so many? !
"You can say that." Shen You nodded.

It's not wrong to say that these weapons come from other dimensions and are from outer space.

If there was a way to forge such a weapon in ancient times, every force would definitely fight over it.

Shen You has read the military information of Da Qi.

The cavalry that can fight are all lightly armored, and many are even unarmored. It’s not that they can’t produce armor, but that they don’t have the logistical support to support it.

In ancient times, armor depended on logistics, and it was not easy to maintain a cavalry team.

As for the heavy cavalry, they are an even more precious military resource. The physique of an average person simply cannot wear such heavy armor.

Foreigners have heavy cavalry, so how can Da Qi fight them head-on?

What’s even more sad is that the method used by foreigners to make armor was stolen from Da Qi when they invaded the country.

The defenders in the city were most worried about the heavy armored cavalry. Fortunately, the information they received did not show that the heavy cavalry had come to Shuozhou.

The most useful weapon for defending a city is arrows. Shen You has no way of getting them. The capital has them, and Li Heng doesn't dare to touch the armory.

Once discovered, he would have no way to explain. Either he admitted that he wanted to rebel, or he would give up the shop, but he would be finished anyway.

He has to consider the overall situation and cannot take such a big risk.

The supplies brought by Shen You would allow Shuozhou City to sustain for ten days or half a month, but without arrows, they would not be able to stop even a single wave of attacks from outsiders.

When two armies confront each other, psychological warfare and information asymmetry are also very important. The specific implementation can only depend on Liu Yunyan and his team.

When Liu Yunyan and his companions left the shop and returned to the military camp, it was already bright in the sky. Everyone had received sweet white steamed buns, warm sleeping bags, and down liners. They were so happy holding these things that they couldn't stop smiling.

Seeing so many supplies, morale was greatly boosted.

"General, where did you get these steamed buns? They are so delicious! Many people are reluctant to eat a second one." Everyone didn't know how the food was transported into the city despite the siege of foreigners, and thought it was reinforcements. When they saw Liu Yunyan coming back, they hurried to ask.

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet. A hermit master has found a way to send things in to help us." Liu Yunyan replied.

"Are there arrows?" someone asked the question.

"Of course there is." Liu Yunyan said calmly.

I don’t know if there are any spies in the city. The true situation cannot be revealed to anyone except a few trusted veterans.

After entering the meeting room, several people immediately started discussing.

"I have just been thinking about the military tactics that Manager Shen gave me. The three-three tactical thinking is simply amazing! Once the reinforcements arrive, we can try to use this method to fight back."

If the city gate is really broken, we can also fight against the foreigners.

At least buy some time for the people in the city.

"Shopkeeper Shen also said that without strong organizational skills and this tactic, it won't work."

Liu Yunyan looked at the sand table and carefully considered every possibility.

At this moment, news suddenly came that the reinforcements led by General Lu, which were scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon, were intercepted by foreigners.

It was the heavily armored cavalry.

The two sides are about to go to war.

In other words, the reinforcements could not reach Shuozhou City.

This news was intentionally released by outsiders in order to demoralize the troops in the city.

"General Liu, is the news true or false? How did General Lu suddenly encounter a foreign heavily armored army?"

Their biggest hope was reinforcements. They had endured such difficult conditions until now, and just when they received supplies, they were suddenly told that the reinforcements were gone.

You can imagine how big of a blow it was.

Liu Yunyan quickly calmed herself down and said in a deep voice, "The news is true."

"If Shuozhou falls, the foreigners will attack General Lu from both sides. By then, the entire northern land will be under their control. If General Lu is defeated, the heavy armored army will continue to move north to Shuozhou."

Of course, the outsiders believed that Shuozhou City would be breached first, so that they could assist the heavy armored army as quickly as possible.

The army led by General Lu is an important fighting force of the Great Qi. Apart from them, there are no other cavalry capable of fighting.

From the very beginning of the siege of Shuozhou City, they cut off supplies and did not waste manpower on a strong attack, waiting for the heavy armored army to intercept the reinforcements.

There was nothing they could do but defend the city with all their might, hoping that General Lu could hold out and wait for the Imperial Master to arrive.

"It's time for us to spread the news." Liu Yunyan said calmly.

The foreigners were preparing to take over the city in one fell swoop while the defenders in the city were starving and their morale was low.

After preparing their troops and horses, they arrived at the foot of the city, only to see that the faces of the Qi soldiers were all flushed, and some were even eating noodles on the city wall with exaggeratedly colored bowls in their hands.

You can also see the smoke from the fires in the city.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that the people of Da Qi have no food?" The foreign general glared.

Their people can’t even eat the steaming hot pancakes!

"No, I don't know. I heard that Da Qi sent in supplies. They were all the best rice and flour, as well as dry food from the Western Regions." The subordinates were also horrified.

"Impossible! Shuozhou City is surrounded so tightly that not even a rabbit can get in. How can they transport food in? Unless they really have the help of ghosts and gods!"

The foreign general's cold gaze fell on the woman on the city wall with her hair tied up with white linen.
