There were three major weapons and cold weapons in ancient times. Among them, the third one was Modao. Close-up fighting, the most beneficial for killing is the knife, which can be chopped or stabbed, with high lethality. The strongest knife should be the Modao of the Tang Dynasty.

Modao was cast using the lost steel filling method. Each one is equipped with 20 kilograms, which is hard and sharp. If you want to use his soldiers, you must be a powerful tiger and wolf man. The body of special forces soldiers. When destroying the Anshi Rebellion, the strong general Li Siye led the Modao team to block the enemy's heavy cavalry. They relied on the Modao in their hands to rush around. History says that when Li Siye's sword, the people and horses are broken. When the Modao is swinging, it is unparalleled. Whoever competes with the enemy will be broken.

The second-ranked one is the strongest cold weapon, Eight-Nuo Crossbow, who is long-rangely attacking.

Everyone said that the Song Dynasty was not strong, but she was able to resist the Mongolian cavalry for decades, and her combat effectiveness was far stronger than that of countries around the world. Why? It basically relied on advanced weapons, such as the Baniu Crossbow.

The Eight-Number Crossbow is also called the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow. It requires eight people to operate it and can shoot three arrows at a time. Each arrow is a javelin, which can shoot one thousand steps. The Song Dynasty's one step is converted to about one meter five now. The range of the Eight-Number Crossbow is 1,500 meters, which is even longer than the range of modern rifles.

The target shot by the Eight Niu Crossbow is destroyed and can be worn out. People can be penetrated into candied haws and shot into the city walls. As a pedal for siege, the Mongols' Hui Huan cannon has also been used as a weapon for long-range strikes and has made great contributions, but it cannot be compared with the Eight Niu Crossbow. Therefore, the strongest cold weapon for long-range strikes is the Eight Niu Crossbow.

The most famous battle of the Eight Niu Crossbow was the Chanyuan Alliance. The Great Liao Kingdom was at the city, and the morale of the army in the Song Dynasty was unstable. At this moment, a general defending the city controlled an Eight Niu Crossbow to find a fighter. The Liao army commander Xiao Lailin patrols the camp, and the Song general fired the Eight Niu Crossbow, a thousand steps away, and a single arrow penetrated Xiao Lailin. The three armies seized the commander, and the Liao Kingdom was depressed, so they signed the Chanyuan Alliance to ensure the peaceful coexistence of the Liao and Song 100 years. It can be said that the Eight Niu Crossbow made great contributions.

The first thing is that Li You brought the mysterious weapon Huihui cannon from Pyongyang this time. Unfortunately, Huihui cannon was invented by the Yuan Dynasty and later became a nightmare for the Song army.

This Hui Cannon is different from ordinary weapons. It is actually a large trencher, but it can launch a huge rock weighing up to 300 kilograms, and its range can reach about 391 meters, which was particularly powerful at that time.

At that time, Xiangyang was the focus of the Song and Mongolian war. After the Southern Song Dynasty entered Xiangyang, it upgraded its defense against Xiangyang City and was determined to defend Xiangyang. At that time, the moat and trenches increased by 150 meters in width. The Song army thought that the opponent's equipment did not have such a long range at that time and would definitely not be able to rush to Xiangyang City. Therefore, the Song army of the Southern Song Dynasty felt that it would be able to be protected this time.

However, not long after, there were loud noises in Xiangyang City, that was, Huihui cannons were playing a role. A huge rock of up to 300 kilograms was thrown into the city. At that time, the places where the rocks were smashed became powder. For the army guarding the city, it was like the sky collapsed. Every sound of stone landing was like thunder, and Xiangyang City was eventually captured.

From then on, the Hui artillery became a nightmare for the Song army. Their cities were captured one by one, and the army was also broken.

You can think about it. Even Xiangyang City could not withstand the bombardment of Huihui cannons, not to mention that Li You also added black gunpowder to it, so Pyongyang City was easily broken.

Li Zhi finally completed the great cause that Li Shimin did not complete. At this time, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the widest in history. However, just when Li You was still arranging the country in Goguryeo, Wu Zetian in Chang'an began to make trouble again.

First of all, after Li You sent back the news and destroyed Goguryeo, Wu Zetian, who was in the cold palace, received the news early, and did not mean that Wu Zetian thought that the other party was a stray dog ​​in the cold palace.

On the contrary, Wu Zetian in the cold palace still has his own eyeliner covering the palace and outside the palace. As long as you don’t directly execute Wu Zetian, then Wu Zetian will be as stiff as a centipede and will not die.

This time, Li Zhi swept Baekje and Goguryeo, expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty into unprecedented circumstances, so Wu Zetian began to take some thoughts again. She hoped to use this great joy to release herself from the cold palace. As long as Wu Zetian could leave the cold palace, everything could be planned slowly.

Therefore, Wu Zetian got sick, which is said to be an acute condition and may leave this world. The incident of Wu Zetian getting sick soon reached the ears of Prince Li Hong.

Li Hong is also a filial son. After knowing that his mother's queen was ill, he immediately came to Xuanzheng Hall and pleaded with his father, Li Zhi, hoping that Li Zhi could let him go to the cold palace to see his mother.

To be honest, Li Zhi actually has feelings for Wu Zetian. Although Li Zhi and Wu Zetian used each other, no matter what, Wu Zetian was always with Li Zhi. At that time, facing Changsun Wuji's aggressiveness, Li You could only stay in Dengzhou with his edge. It was Wu Zetian who accompanied Li Zhi and kept stalking.

After Li You accumulated enough strength and returned to Chang'an, Li Zhi took a breath. Therefore, Li Zhi still had a certain relationship with Wu Zetian. If Wu Zetian was not so greedy, Li Zhi was still willing to let Wu Zetian be his queen all the time.

But Wu Zetian was too greedy. She didn't want to be the queen. She wanted to be the emperor. How could this work? However, even so, Li Zhi still did not kill Wu Zetian, but instead drove her into the cold palace, hoping that Wu Zetian could recognize his mistakes.

This is Li Zhi’s greatest friendship to Wu Zetian. It’s just a pity that Wu Zetian did not cherish Li Zhi’s friendship to him. Instead, she used Li Zhi’s friendship to him.

After learning that Wu Zetian was sick, Li Zhi immediately allowed Li Hong's visit. Not only that, Li Zhi also specially sent an imperial physician to the cold palace to treat Wu Zetian.

And is Wu Zetian really sick?

The answer is that it is definitely not sick. The reason why Wu Zetian did this was actually to attract Li Zhi's attention. She wanted to get rid of the cold palace, so she and her staff thought of pretending to be sick. Sure enough, it succeeded. Not only did it attract Li Hong, but also Li Zhi's attention. Li Zhi even sent an imperial physician to come.

Under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, it was really confirmed that Wu Zetian was seriously ill and could not even live for many days. What Wu Zetian wanted most was to meet Li Zhi.

After making this request, Li Hong immediately rushed back to Xuanzheng Hall, knelt in Xuanzheng Hall, and asked his father to meet his mother!
