Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 86

(Thanks to Cai Niao for laughing, and the person is me, soul milian for the reward, thank you!)

Siye swung his knife to hit the place where he was excited, and simply jumped to the side, tore off his clothes in twos and threes, and held the knife shirtless.

"Come again!"

The fourth child was a little short of breath and his face was flushed, but he had been working with Lao for some time, and he had some experience, so he responded proficiently, "Come to fight!"

Mo Dao and Chang Lao were both tall, strong and fierce men, and the two hundred young men who watched this battle were dumbfounded and amazed again and again.Even a group of veterans also praised them, praising them as natural fighters, but they are still a little immature and have not been coached by veterans.

What Luo Cheng watched was also full of enthusiasm, and he wished he could compete with the two elder brothers.

"I didn't expect that the third brother could be so powerful when using the long saber for the first time. I think the third brother can unify the captain's swords alone. The fourth brother is also very powerful as an envoy, so he can lead a long troop!"

Historically, in the mid-Tang Dynasty, there was a famous general who used Mo Dao, known as Mo Dao Jiang, and his name was Si Ye, very powerful.

"Boy, you have a good idea, but you know that Mo Dao not only needs to challenge soldiers, but also requires good materials, which is extremely expensive. Even if there are more than [-] soldiers in my seven hundred army in the Sui Dynasty, those who use Mo Dao There are only a handful of them. The imperial court even stipulated that Mo Dao should not be buried with them, and for the price of one Mo Dao, dozens of Heng Dao can be used." The old Wangtou said disdainfully.

The Mo knife is seven feet long, and the blade alone is three feet long, and it is double-edged. The longer the blade, the stronger the technology and the higher the material, otherwise the long knife is easy to break, reaching the three-foot long Mo knife edge, That's actually not much worse than Ma Chan's blade.

The best and most expensive weapon in the army is the horse lance. The horse lance is eight feet long, and the blade alone is four feet long. In particular, his blade adopts a special structure and shape, which is good for piercing armor. It is far from an ordinary sword. Comparable.

The blade part of Mo Dao is basically the same as that of Ma Chan, which is also the expensive part of Mo Dao.

Even in the military mansion of the Twelve Guards, there were not many Mo Dao fighters. It was almost a joke that Luo Cheng wanted to form a team of Mo Dao among his two hundred soldiers.

"The Mo Dao is difficult and expensive to make, but we can make a similar big sword." Luo Cheng thought of another famous big sword, the simple sword that emerged in the Song Dynasty. In the Water Margin, heroes are equipped with a simple sword as standard.

The so-called Pudao also has another name, "pants knife". It can be hung on the waist.If you install a long handle, it will become a simple knife, and the simple knife can fight two battles between farmers and soldiers.

The biggest feature of this kind of knife is the short head, long handle, and no sheath on the body. The long knife can remove the head and can be used as a stick.

Another feature of it is that the blade accounts for a larger proportion of the blade body, which is also different from ordinary broadswords, and compared with Mo Dao, Pu Dao has a single edge.

The manufacturing process should be simple, so the cost is much lower.

After hearing Luo Feng's plan, Old Wang felt a little disdainful.

"You can only be called Dao Team like that, not Modao Team, don't tarnish the name of Modao Team."

"It's just rice. Although we can't equip Mo Dao, we can also use Mo Dao warfare. If we can have a team of big sword soldiers, line up in front of the formation, and enter the wall with swords, it is indeed a powerful way to defeat the enemy. .I plan to let my third brother lead the Broadsword team!"

Although the youngest was fierce, he hadn't made any achievements after all. Luo Cheng directly asked him to be the leader of the team because it was a grassroots team.

Although the Lao of the fourth child is a bit strange, it may be evenly matched with the third child, but it is also very powerful.

Luo Cheng thought of the hook and sickle spear of the Song Army in history.

In fact, weapons such as the hook and sickle gun have existed in ancient and modern China and abroad, but each has its own changes.For example, the earliest spear, the later halberd, and the hooked sickle are all like this, and the famous Swedish spear and halberd in European history are almost the same.

Compared with spears, this kind of weapon has more horizontal hooks, so in addition to stabbing, it also has the method of fighting with hooks.In war, it is good to hook the enemy's cavalry and chop off the enemy's horse's legs.

The Laosi of the fourth child is more complicated, but it is not difficult to make a simpler hook and sickle gun.

"Mazadao?" Old Zhao asked.

There is another name for the hook sickle gun, which is Mazha knife.

"It's not bad to build a maza knife team alone. As long as it is used well, it will be very effective." Old Zhao praised.

He had fallen in love with the fourth child a long time ago, and when he saw that the old king had accepted the third child as his disciple, he felt a little itchy, because he used to use a halberd.According to Lao Zhao himself, he was actually a ceremonial soldier in his early years, that is, he relied on soldiers to hold halberds in the team.Although the halberd was also the main weapon in the past, but now, it is basically used as a supporting weapon.

But Lao Zhao still has a hand with the halberd.

Speaking of hook and sickle gun, he is much more familiar than Luo Cheng.

"This hook sickle gun is also called Mazha knife. The length of the gun is seven feet two inches, of which the tip is eight inches. There is a sharp point on the tip of the gun, and a barb protruding laterally from the lower part. The tip of the hook is also curved inward. Remember , the one that does not bend inward is called a divination halberd."

"The barrel of the gun is six feet long and four inches thick. It is made of wood, and an iron rod is placed at the end of the barrel. It is four inches long."

"This kind of gun is indeed as Shi Cheng said, it can not only have the same assassination effect as a long gun, but also use the barb on the side to slash the enemy, hook the enemy to prevent the enemy from escaping, and hook cavalry. Cut off the horse's leg, and the barb on it can also prevent the spear point from going too deep."

Lao Wang said dissatisfiedly, "You make this hook and sickle gun so amazing, why don't you use it in the army?"

"The army uses more spears and less hooks than spears, not because they are not easy to use, but because compared with spears, hooks are not difficult to make, but after all, the cost is higher, and hooks are more difficult to use. Some. You also know that in the military, of course, the cheaper weapons are used more, and the simpler weapons are used more.”

"Uncle Wang, I invite you to be the instructor of swordsmanship in the village group. Uncle Zhao, I invite you to be the instructor of spearmanship. How about it?"

Luo Cheng knew that the two old men were skilled in swords and spears, so he simply let them go.

Old Zhao smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to let the fourth brother worship me as a teacher, and let him be the leader of the hook and sickle team, so I will agree."

"Hey, I haven't become someone's master yet, and this is for the benefit of others. You deserve to be a master." Lao Wang laughed.

"Of course!" Old Zhao didn't take it seriously.

"Of course, I agree here for the fourth brother!"

On the other side of the field, Siye and Cunxiao were already smoking, but they couldn't do anything to each other.

"stop!"

Luo Cheng walked into the arena, picked up the six-leaf hammer and smashed the weapons of the two, and stood in the middle.

"The two of you are considered a tie, there is no winner!"

"Fifth, I won right away, what are you doing?" The fourth was dissatisfied.

"Hey, in a few more rounds I'll be able to get you down, and you're still bragging?" The third child laughed.

Seeing that the two of them were going to fight again, Luo Cheng lit up his hammer.

"I now announce that Luo Siye will be the captain of the Modao team of the township regiment, and Luo Cunxiao will be the captain of the hook gun team of the township regiment!"
