    The Mo Dao was invincible on the battlefield. When the Tang army held the Mo Dao and fought against the "Siyi" cavalry, they lined up in a wall. The sword moved forward, cutting off horse legs and human heads, just like peeling melons and vegetables, crushing mountains and seas with overwhelming force.  Overwhelm the enemy.  With the support of Modao, the Tang Dynasty dominated the world and became the largest emperor in the world at that time.

    But in the Song Dynasty, Tang knives, including Mo Dao, were banned and private production was prohibited, causing the Tang knives forging technology to be lost.  Even the performance of the war knives of the Song Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Tang knives. In the era when cold weapons and firearms were used together, the knives were still the main weapons for close combat. The Song Dynasty not only "eliminated" the Tang knives, but also "eliminated" the excellent fighting methods of the Tang Dynasty.

    Of course, there are other theories about the disappearance of Mo Dao, such as the cost of war. The production of Mo Dao is complex and requires high craftsmanship. The cost of making a knife is also quite high. There was once a Jiedushi who was almost killed by the production of Tang Dao.  of going bankrupt.

    In addition, there are also changes in tactics that have reduced the effectiveness of Mo Dao, etc. In short, the reason why Mo Dao was lost has never been determined.

    Moreover, what is even more strange is that a large number of iron weapons, such as spearheads, iron halberds, Daoshou knives and long swords, were unearthed in the Han Dynasty long before the Sui and Tang Dynasties; a large number of physical weapons and armors were also unearthed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties earlier;  In the later Song and Yuan Dynasties, some weapons were even handed down to this day (especially those that were circulated among the people, not unearthed cultural relics).

    What's more, the masterpiece "Martial Classics General Essentials" introduces various weapons and equipment at that time in great detail. As you can see now, there are countless hot and cold weapons from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  Only very few weapons from the Sui and Tang Dynasties have been handed down. Some people even doubt whether there is such a weapon as the Mo Dao.

    According to Meng Zitao's understanding, the Mo Dao must have existed. The reason why it has not been passed down is that in the Tang Dynasty, Mo Dao was not allowed to be buried with him. In addition, Meng Zitao guessed that the Mo Dao was made of exquisite materials. When the ancients saw such a large piece of iron, since it could not  It's a pity if it doesn't melt when used.

    Of course, there are many reasons. You can¡¯t guess the truth just by guessing. It¡¯s just that Mo Dao has never been handed down, which I have to say is a pity.

    Now, this silk book actually introduces the Mo Dao in detail, and not only the production method, but also the battle formation of the Mo Dao is introduced. It can not only solve the mystery of the shape of the Mo Dao, but also study the weapons and battle formations of the Tang Dynasty.  It also helped a lot, which surprised Meng Zitao.

    Regarding the shape of the Modao, there is no consensus in modern times. The public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. Meng Zitao used to be curious about what the Modao looked like, but even in his master's collection, there are only some vague records. Now  Finally, I was able to get my wish.

    ??Specifically, the shape of the Mo Dao is similar to the long knife in an ancient painting. This ancient painting is the "Unprotected Picture".

    "The Picture of the Unarmored" depicts the scene where Guo Ziyi led dozens of unarmed riders (without armor) to see the leader of the Uighurs, the chief. The chief abandoned his troops and dismounted to pay homage. One of the generals held a long sword in his hand.

    This painting was painted in the Song Dynasty. The weapons and armor in the picture are all in the shape of the Song Dynasty. However, this long knife can definitely be a practical weapon. Some scholars believe that this knife should be the Mo Dao or a long knife developed from it.  Now it seems that this is indeed the case. There is only a slight difference between the two, and overall the change is not big.

    In addition, through understanding of subsequent battle formations, Meng Zitao also made some speculations about the loss of Modao. Specifically, it should be related to the increasingly smaller role of heavy infantry in war.  Even if they are strong, they cannot catch up with the cavalry. They can only rely on the commander's own qualities, such as using terrain formation changes, etc. Even so, it is still impossible to reverse the overall disadvantage of the infantry.

    In addition, later, a series of equipment that changed the cavalry, such as stirrups, appeared on the stage, and the disadvantage of the infantry became even greater. The Mo Dao, a unit that cost money, training and time, will naturally slowly withdraw from the stage of history.

    As for why no Mo Dao has been handed down, we can¡¯t know it based on the contents of this silk book.

    With the discovery of this silk scroll, Meng Zitao already feels that his trip is worthwhile. With the above records, Mo Dao can be restored, and Mo Dao, whose only sound is heard but whose property is not seen, can reappear in front of everyone.

    Because of the appearance of silk books, Meng Zitao also had some expectations for the remaining artifacts.  However, at the end of the search, he didn't find anything that could attract his attention, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

    Meng Zitao put the porcelain in his hand back and asked, "How many things did they move away just now?"

    "At least three-quarters." Gu Cuiping said angrily: "Fortunately, Fifth Master has always been nice to them, but now that something happened, they turned their backs and became ruthless. Dogs still know how to repay kindness. They are worse than dogs!"

    Qi Lezi glanced at her and thought to himself, this woman alsoUnderground, a safe was found, and there was a very precious treasure hidden in the safe.

    Meng Zitao took out the knife he carried with him and was about to pry open the tiles on the floor, but the light suddenly went out. He couldn't help but cursed, "This scoundrel Qi didn't open the switch earlier or later, but he did it at this time."  .

    He had no choice but to take out a strong flashlight and shine it on the ground, then use a knife to scratch the gaps in the tiles.

    "Mr. Meng, what are you doing?" Qi Lezi walked in and saw Meng Zitao's movements very strange.

    Meng Zitao said angrily: "I still want to ask you, why does it take so long to open the gate?"

    Qi Lezi said angrily: "You don't know, that woman didn't even want the child. I heard the child crying, so I went over to take a look and wasted some time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel  .com
