The replacement of weapons is not an easy task, including the familiarity of soldiers and so on.

However, Wang Buxu knew better than Han Xin that the weapons between Han and Huns were now different.

Historically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a very difficult time fighting against the Xiongnu in the early stages.

In addition to the insufficient number of cavalry troops, there were also great disadvantages in terms of weapons.

The Han army mostly used short swords. The use of long spears in cavalry combat was not as great as imagined. Its greatest significance lies in the moment of sprinting.

Once you get deep into the enemy's formation, you must switch to fighting with a short sword.

However, the daggers of the Han army were basically made of copper.

Compared with iron, it is not hard enough, so during battles, the Han army's weapons were always at great loss.

On the other hand, the Huns used a large wrist knife. The advantage of this kind of knife is that with one stroke, the speed of the war horse can be used to quickly cut a larger hole.

You don't have to think about scratching your skin or anything like that. For the cavalry's sword to fall on you, at least it has to be the kind that sees the bones.

A large amount of blood will be lost instantly, and death will soon occur.

Because the weapons of the Han army were short swords, even if the length was later increased, they would still be at a great disadvantage when facing large scimitars.

This disadvantage still exists in the Han Dynasty today. The most serious one is the backwardness of iron smelting technology.

Although Wang Buxu ordered the study of iron smelting technology as early as two years ago, he even bluntly asked people to dig coal, even make coke, and use coke to melt molten iron.

But now it is only enough to melt a small amount of iron. The most important thing is that the temperature is not enough.

Wang Buxu even planned to go out and build a blast furnace himself.

The king of iron smelting technology is neither hungry nor knowledgeable, but he knows that all the iron on the market is an alloy.

The stupidest way is to throw some steel into a pot of molten iron and let it melt into it. The iron produced in this way is not just steel, but at least it is hard enough to be used.

It's not long before the Siege of Baideng.

Although the Siege of Baideng will not appear in this life, at that time there will always be a sword stuck in Wang Buxu's head.

The history of the Huns has not changed, and this also means that in four years at most, the Huns will have the opportunity to go south.

If the Han State could not defeat him in one battle, I am afraid that the Han State would also suffer the same fate as in history.

Thinking of this, Wang Buxian decided to take the time to take a look.

If it really doesn't work, I have to do it myself.
