Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 194 Golden Nail Zaoyang Lance

Qi County, Li City.

In the Qin family's mansion, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and others chatted more and more speculatively with Luo Cheng.

"Xiao Wu used to practice lance too. It just so happens that all of us brothers also practice lance. It's time to learn from each other." Shan Xiongxin said.

Xu Shiji pointed to Shan Xiongxin and said to Luo Chengdao, "Second brother Shan's lance is not simple. A jujube tree was planted in front of his village, which was planted by his grandfather. Later, second brother cut down this jujube tree to make a lance. The joints under the front were also deliberately thickened, and many protruding nail heads were added, and the resulting lance weighed [-] catties in total!"

"Seventy catties?" Luo Cheng was shocked.How much strength does it take to move a seventy-pound lance? This is not a comparison of strength. It takes a lot of strength to hold and dance. This is a battle.

"Don't listen to big eyes making jokes." Shan Xiong said.

"I'm not joking. Didn't everyone say that your lance is called Jinding Zaoyang lance, the lance is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, the lance weighs seventy catties, and it's also called Hangubai?"

Xu Dayan said with a smile.

"It's called Hangubai, it's true, and it's true that the golden nailed Zaoyang lance is also right, but the stem of the lance is not as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Generally, lances are made of mulberry wood, and they are compounded through layers of processes, but the jujube wood is actually the same. The texture is hard and dense, the material is heavy, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, it is an excellent material for making weapons, but it is made to be heavier."

"It happens that I also have the strength of two handles, so I took a piece of good jujube wood to make the lance. Because the lance is heavy, I also made the head of the lance a little heavier. I specially added some protrusions on the edge of the lance. Nailhead." Shan Xiongxin explained to Luo Cheng, "But it is an exaggeration to say seventy catties, but it actually only weighs 23 catties."

Xu Mao said fairly, "One catty today equals three catties in ancient times, so your twenty-three catties are exactly seventy catties."

So everyone laughed.

23 catties does not sound so exaggerated, but Luo Cheng still marveled at Shan Xiongxin's strength. Although the lance is a horse weapon, it is not something ordinary people can do to swing a 23 catties horse lance.An ordinary general with a 23-jin horse spear is already considered strong, but Shan Xiongxin got a [-]-jin horse spear, and his spear is not a composite pole or a hard pole, which is even more extraordinary for charging and stabbing.

"Second brother is really amazing."

Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, and Xu Shiji are all good at riding and shooting. These people are basically officials for several generations. Their families were all suppressed by the Guanlong nobles in power, and they became local tyrants who shrank from the local area.

But the family's century-old heritage is there. They have no power but they also have wealth and power. They learn to ride and shoot when they pee. This horse is even practiced by everyone.

In comparison, Luo Cheng brothers and the others are far behind.The brothers have been smithing since they were young, and they are used to swinging hammers, so they have a lot of strength, but at most they are strong, and they have never touched horses and lances.Therefore, the third child learns Mo Dao, and the fourth child practices Changluo. At the beginning, he just picked up a hammer to learn, and the younger six used a stick.

Now that I have the conditions, I want to learn how to ride and shoot a horse, but I have to start from scratch, and the start is much worse.

After the meal, Shan Xiongxin and the others said they wanted to learn martial arts, and asked Zhang Xutuo to give advice.

Because the apprentice was there, Zhang Xutuo also stayed.

So on the Qin family's martial arts arena, a group of people came over with their horses and spears.

Luo Cheng deliberately went to look at Shan Xiongxin's lance, and it was really unusual, with a very heavy hand, especially his lance head, originally there was a protruding part under the lance blade, which was to prevent the lance from piercing into the body If it is too deep, this protrusion is called the retention plot.

Usually it's just a protrusion, but the protrusion of Shan Xiongxin's spear is much larger than normal. Not only that, but it is also densely covered with circles of nail heads, making it a bit like a small mace of.

According to Shan Xiongxin, this is for counterweight, because the lance is too heavy, and the center of gravity will be unstable without adding weight to the lance, making it difficult to hold it.After the nail head is added, this lance can stab and shoot. Compared with ordinary lances, it is more lethal, but only a fierce person like Shan Xiongxin can get used to it.

Luo Cheng held it a few times, and found that there was nothing wrong with his strength, but it was quite handy.

Originally, everyone watched Luo Cheng wave Shan Xiongxin's cold bones, and wanted to see him laugh at him. After all, most people are not good at such a heavy spear.Immediately, the emphasis on weapons is not that the heavier the better, but the more suitable for you, the better.

If it is too heavy, it will affect its use. In battle, life and death can be determined instantly. If the weapon is too heavy and affects the speed and reaction of use, it is a dead word.Therefore, the weapons of the generals, unlike ordinary soldiers, are generally tailor-made.

"It is said that my cousin is born with supernatural powers. You still don't believe it, but believe it now. This seventy-pound heavy spear is as good as he can dance with." Qin Qiong came to watch after accompanying the guests.

Xu Shiji said a little unconvinced, "If you can dance, you don't necessarily have to use it with your hands. Let me come and compete with Fifth Brother in person, and then I will know."

"Okay, Xu Dayan has always refused to accept anyone, let him try with Xiao Wu today, I bet he will definitely suffer!" "Zhai Rang and Xu Shiji have always had a good relationship, so he booed.

"How much is the bet?" Shan Xiongxin asked, he had a better relationship with Xu Shiji, and knew very well that although Xu Shiji was only sixteen, his martial arts made him very admired.

"I have a horn bow, made of white rhino horn, worth hundreds of gongs, how about taking this as a lottery?" Zhai Rang said.

"Well, I have a seven-foot two-handed sword, which is rare and very precious. I bet you." Shan Xiongxin also took out the lottery.

Cheng Yaojin immediately said, "How can such a wonderful game be played without me, I will take out a BMW from the Western Regions to compare with you."

"Who do you like?" Zhai Rang asked.

"Of course I like Xu Big Eye." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, "My opponent is Luo Wu Brothers."

Huang Junhan said, "You two are optimistic about Brother Luo Wu, and Second Brother Shan is optimistic about Big Eye. His sword is not symmetrical. I might as well make another seven-star Longyuan sword, so that it will be equal."

there.

Xu Shiji jumped on his horse and took his [-]-pound horse from his entourage, "Fifth brother, brother, I'm here to compete with you."

Luo Cheng was about to change his own lance, but Xu Shiji said, "You can just use the lance of Second Brother Shan."

"Little Wu, just use my lance." Shan Xiongxin said beside him.

At the moment, Luo Cheng held Shan Xiongxin's golden nail Zaoyang Lever.

The two immediately saluted each other, then turned their horses around, and then turned around and accelerated to hedge.

He has been practicing horse lance for a few months. Luo Cheng is now considered a beginner in horse lance, and his riding skills are not bad, but he is still far behind Xu Shiji.

But the comparison is only about horses, not horse racing.

Shan Xiongxin's spear was extremely heavy. Although it was only eight catties heavier than his previous spear, it was actually half the weight.However, Luo Cheng felt just right in his hand, and the sense of volume was extremely refreshing.

The two came towards each other.

Immediately each swung their lances, Xu Shiji directly held the lance and stabbed, Luo Cheng stepped aside.The first round was over, and the two rode their horses for a while, then turned around and started again.

This time Xu Shiji was still stabbing with a lance, Luo Cheng had been prepared for a long time, he swung the lance and swiped, the two lances struck each other, the huge force shook the tiger's mouth in pain.

Er Ma missed again.

"Again!" Xu Shiji on the other side missed the second hit, but became more and more excited.

Luo Cheng smiled and raised the spear again.

When he passed by again, Luo Cheng took the initiative to sweep first, Xu Shiji still wanted to stab, but Luo Cheng's lance came fast, so he had to block with his lance, the two lances intersected, and the two horses rushed past.

Everyone thought this round was over again, but when the two horses crossed, Luo Cheng turned his back and turned his head, and the horse in his hand also swept over.

A note back to Ma Chan.

No one expected this move, Xu Shiji heard the wind and wanted to react, but it was too late, the heavy horse lance came over directly, Xu Shiji only came in time to hastily put the lance in front of him.

Han Gubai slapped Xu Shiji off his horse heavily with great force.
