Take advantage of your brother!
Inherit brother’s ambition!
Hungry for Hulu meat!
Thirst for the blood of the Huns!
The afterglow of the bloody sun shone through the dilapidated window sill.
It shines in the dilapidated City God's Temple.
It simply adds a sense of solemnity to the temple.
Li Shoushan stood next to Xu Yi, looking at the young vassal king in front of him with a smile on his face.
The back that had been stooped for more than ten years slowly straightened up at this moment.
"General Li, are you willing to avenge your brother with me?"
"Are you willing to avenge the ninety-six children of the Zhao family with Sui Gu?"
"Will Suigu avenge the two hundred thousand heroic souls who died in the deserted land of Mobei?"
Xu Yi slowly raised the Qingyang Liquor in his hand and looked at Li Shoushan with determination and determination, who was smiling but with tears constantly flowing out of his eyes.
Li Shoushan trembled slightly when he heard this, and slowly raised his head to look at the statue of Zhao Fusheng sitting upright on the altar.
...
...
At night.
The three-column green-covered carriage slowly drove away from the dilapidated City God's Temple, guarded by more than a hundred horsemen.
Inside the carriage carriage.
Xu Yi sat upright on the soft floor, looking at Qingyang Zhangfeng on the small wooden table with his eyelids slightly lowered.
in front of him.
Li Shoushan closed his eyes tightly.
The war that took place in the fifteenth year of Zhengde is slowly told from the perspective of a person who experienced it.
As Li Shoushan slowly narrated.
In the fifteenth year of Zhengde's reign, the war between the two countries was at stake.
Slowly emerged in Xu Yi's mind.
When the carriage with three green hoods drove slowly through the moat outside Prince Yan's Mansion.
Li Shoushan slowly opened his eyes and said, "This is all the general knows."
Xu Yi slowly raised his eyelids after hearing this.
His eyes moved from Qingyang Zhangfeng to Li Shoushan.
"Is that General Qingche Li Tong?" Xu Yi asked slowly.
Xu Yi vaguely remembered that he had read a few words about the Mobei War in the archives of Jingzhao Mansion.
The general Qingche in that sentence was Li Tong, the father of Li Guangli.
As for the complete Mobei War archives, they only exist in the archives of the Ministry of War.
Due to Xu Yi's special nature, there is no chance of contact at all.
Li Shoushan sighed heavily when he heard this, then nodded and said: "General Qingche is Li Tong. If it weren't for him, General Zhao would not have died at all! The decisive battle in Mobei would never have been so tragic."
Xu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
From Li Shoushan's narration, it is not difficult to see the importance of the battle between Zhao Fusheng and King Hunxie to the entire war situation.
The battle between the two is definitely related to the direction of the entire war situation to a certain extent!
At that time, the decisive battle was imminent.
Both warring parties have exhausted their cards.
at this critical moment.
Who can emerge victorious, Zhao Fusheng or King Hunxie?
Which one can carry the momentum of great victory and take advantage of the victory to pursue it?
The other side can only shrink its front line and passively face the enemy.
By that time, the morale of both sides was high and the decision was made.
The result of the war is naturally self-evident.
Xu Yi didn't know how Zhao Qing stabilized his own morale when the decline was obvious, and finally won with difficulty.
Xu Yi only knew that if it were him now, he would never be able to turn the tide.
With Zhao Qing's strength, if it weren't for General Qingchao, the decisive battle in Mobei would never have been so brutal.
"Is there any trace of righteousness behind Li Tong's incident?" Xu Yi thought to himself with a slight frown.
At the same time, Xu Yi couldn't help but think of the secret that Xu Zhen had told him on the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
"Li Guangli was born in a family of generals."
"His father Li Tong once participated in the decisive battle of Mobei with the general."
"After the decisive battle in Mobei, Li Tong was seriously injured."
"Three years later, Li Tong died of illness in Chang'an City due to the recurrence of his old injury."
"After his death from illness, His Majesty established a military general again after three years."
"The person who took over the post of General of Arms and Horses was Li Tong's son, Li Guangli."
Just as Xu Yi frowned in thought.
The carriage with three green hoods slowly stopped in front of Chengyun Hall.
"Sixth Master, we have arrived at Chengyun Hall." Yang Xian'an's voice came slowly from outside the carriage.
After hearing the report, Xu Yi, who had been frowning and thinking, suddenly came back to his senses.
"General Li, please." Xu Yi calmed down and stretched out his hand in greeting.
After more than ten breaths.
Xu Yi and Li Shoushan walked out of the carriage with three green awnings one behind the other.
When Li Shoushan's figure slowly disappeared behind the Chengyun Gate.
Xu Yi slowly walked into the Chengyun Hall carrying Qingyang Zhangfeng and Zhangzhan.
...
...
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked quietly at the Qingyang Mountain in front of him, which was covered with traces of war.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and picked up the Qingyang Yang that had already overlapped again from the desk.
"Woo~woo~!"
As Xu Yi danced gently, the ancient horse tree covered with traces of war instantly let out bursts of whimpering sounds.
It was as if countless dead souls were trying their best to break out of Qingyang's body, but couldn't, and then burst into tears.
Xu Yi silently waved the Qingyang in his hand without saying a word.
With the frequency of waving, it becomes faster and faster.
The sobbing sounds gradually connected into a piece.
At the same time, the depression in Xu Yi's heart quickly dissipated amidst his sobs.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi, who was sweating profusely, slowly put away his Qingyang cup.
The moment the slender pole touched the ground.
An unusually crisp sound of Jin Ge slowly resounded in the study room of the side hall.
Xu Yi slowly stood Qing Yangshan beside the study.
He exhaled a heavy breath and said with relief: "I am the one who got caught. It doesn't matter whether there is someone behind this matter."
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly turned around and walked out of the side hall study.
As Xu Yi said, it was no longer important to Xu Yi at this time whether there was Emperor Zhengde behind the affair of General Qingchao.
At this time, he holds the three major camps of Shenzhen, Xiandeng and Xuanjia that are growing vigorously.
As long as the time is ripe, they can send their troops southward, carry out the actions of King Qin, and change the situation.
Will the truth still matter then?
The so-called truth is nothing more than icing on the cake.
Perhaps its greatest use is to block the mouths of all sentient beings in the world.
...
...
A night of silence.
At Mao o'clock the next day, dawn had just broken in the eastern sky.
Xu Yi, who was still in high spirits after a night of fierce fighting, walked from the Changchun Hall to the Chengyun Hall again.
"Sixth Master."
When Fang and his party arrived at the main entrance of Chengyun Hall, Yang Xian'an, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly stepped forward and saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then motioned Yang Xian'an to enter the side hall study with him.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi walked slowly to the desk.
He took out a rosewood thorn from the side of the desk.
He turned around and handed it to Yang Xianan solemnly.
Then he ordered: "Well first, go to the county government office in person."
"After meeting Governor Sun, please ask him to collect all the files on the court's use of troops against the Xiongnu in the past thirty years before the deadline."
Yang Xian'an nodded solemnly when he heard this.
After that, he immediately took the rosewood thorn and walked away quickly.
After Yang Xianan's figure completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi walked slowly to the corner of the study room in the side hall.
He put his hands behind his back and stared quietly at the ancient horse-drawn carriage standing in the corner of the study.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, and no one knows what he is thinking at this moment.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi slowly turned around and walked to the desk, slowly pouring water into the medicinal jade inkstone.
Then he picked up an ink stick and slowly ground it.
At the same time, yesterday's conversation with Zhu Zongnian kept replaying in his mind.
After a while.
Xu Yi took out a piece of white rice paper and slowly laid it on the desk.
Then he took his seat and picked up his pen.
On the pure white rice paper, two lifelike sabers were slowly drawn.
Located on the left side of the rice paper is the Xiongnu sword.
Located on the right side of the rice paper is the Dazhou Saber.
Because of the difference between the Central Plains ethnic groups and the nomadic peoples.
Therefore, the two sabers have taken two completely different paths.
In short, most of the sabers used by the Xiongnu today are curved blades.
Most of the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty used straight-edged knives.
In fact, at the beginning, the sabers used by the Huns were also fixed-edged knives.
And its straight-edge knife technology was learned from the Central Plains.
However, because the Huns were nomadic people, cavalry was their main combat force.
After plundering many blacksmiths and iron mines in the Central Plains.
The Huns' sabers gradually evolved from straight-edged knives to curved-edged knives more suitable for horseback combat.
One thing Xu Yi had to admit was that curved-edged knives were actually more labor-saving and easier to use than straight-edged knives in horse battles to a certain extent.
And, over the course of more than two hundred years.
The Huns continued to annex small countries outside the Central Plains and merged with other nomadic peoples on the grasslands.
The style of Xiongnu sabers also continued to change during this integration process.
Until eventually, the style drawn by Xu Yi on the left side of the rice paper was formed, with the top wide and the bottom pointed, and the blade slightly curved.
Xu Yi stared at the Hun scimitar painted on the left side of the rice paper.
Lifting the pen slowly under the blade, he wrote a sentence that former military general Zhao Qing once commented on the Xiongnu scimitar.
"There is a ring knife, the effect is back, it is light and sharp, and the target is small and thin, so it is easy to transport it."
The "Xiao Hui Hui Zhuang" in this statement does not refer only to the Dashi Kingdom, but to all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions who believe in the same religion.
From Zhao Qing's perspective, the Hun scimitar is light and sharp, and does not require much physical effort to use.
The handle of the knife is too short and thin, so it can be held with one hand.
And when worn around the waist, it is not easy to touch the left arm, so it is very suitable for riding horses.
Because the Hun scimitar was too light.
Therefore, its main combat method is "drag-knife style".
That is, with the help of the impact of the war horse, when the war horse is moving at high speed, the right hand holds the handle of the scimitar and the right arm is spread out.
Make the scimitar move forward at high speed with the war horse.
At the moment of contact with the enemy, rely on the impact of the war horse.
Let the blade directly cut the enemy's body or head.
In Xu Yi's view, this sword technique has at least two major benefits.
First, the cavalry does not need to work hard to chop, thereby saving the cavalry's physical strength.
Secondly, because the blade is curved, the blade will naturally cut open the enemy's body after cutting it, thereby avoiding the fatal danger of throwing the knife due to excessive impact.
Especially when fighting on horseback, after the cavalry lost their long-handled weapons, the sword became the first choice for the cavalry to kill the enemy.
However, everything has pros and cons.
Although the Hun scimitar is lighter than the straight blade sword.
But on the cold weapon battlefield, the weight of the weapon has a decisive impact on the lethality.
Huns cavalry
Once the charge is over, they are dragged into a fierce battle by the enemy.
Then the scimitar in his hand is nothing more than a decoration.
Let me ask, after losing the high-speed impact of the war horse.
After all, it is the light and sharp Hun scimitar that causes the most damage to the enemy.
Or does the powerful and heavy Dazhou straight-edged sword that can chop and stab cause more damage to the enemy?
The answer is of course self-evident.
And this is precisely one of the fundamental reasons why Dazhou has always insisted on developing fixed-edge knives.
As for the other reason, it is very helpless to say it.
That was the real cavalry force of the Zhou Dynasty, which was less than 20% of the Huns.
If there is a fierce battle to defend the city, there will even be scenes of cavalry dismounting from their horses and climbing to the top of the city to fight.
It is precisely for this reason that unless the people in power in the Great Zhou Dynasty are crazy, they will never avoid their strengths and weaknesses to vigorously develop the scimitar.
Of course, the lack of vigorous development does not mean that the Zhou army did not use the Xiongnu scimitar.
Maybe it was influenced by the TV series in the previous life.
Xu Yi still remembers that he once asked Lou Daoyong, "Why do the Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples only prefer scimitars, while the people of the Central Plains only prefer straight swords?"
I especially remember Lou Daoyong’s answer after hearing this and laughing.
"There is no absolute preference."
"The battlefield is not a children's play house."
"On the battlefield, everything is judged by actual results."
"It doesn't matter if it's a so-called straight-edged knife or a curved-edged knife."
"It should all be judged based on the actual situation on the battlefield."
"That is, if you think you should use a straight-edged knife at this moment, then use a straight-edged knife."
"If you think you should use a curved blade at this moment, then use a curved blade."
Lou Daoyong's words can be summed up very simply, that is, according to the situation, use whoever is easy to use!
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi couldn't help but reveal a hint of self-mockery.
At the same time, another idiot question that I had asked Lou Daoyong for advice came to mind.
The idiot question is, "Isn't it difficult to pull out a straight-edged knife after it penetrates the human body?"
I especially remember that after Lou Daoyong heard this, he laughed again and asked Xu Yi to read less folk tales and read more military books and arsenal records in the Youning Courtyard of Zongzheng Temple.
After teaching Xu Yi a lesson, Lou Daoyong calmly answered Xu Yi's questions.
"The person who wrote the folk tale has never been on a real battlefield and knows nothing about fixed-blade knives or curved-blade knives."
"On a real battlefield, a well-trained soldier will not stab the enemy's body with his sword."
"If it is penetrated straight and blankly, it will be fine once or twice. If it is inserted too many times, there is no guarantee that it will not be pulled out of the folklore book."
"Therefore, any well-trained soldier will turn his wrist quickly and accurately the moment the straight knife pierces the enemy's body."
"In turn, the straight knife penetrates and forms a semicircular or even circular wound."
"This can increase the enemy's injury level and cause the enemy to lose a lot of blood."
"In this case, even if it fails to hit the enemy's vital point, it can still cause the enemy to lose all combat effectiveness in the shortest time."
"Even causing the enemy to bleed to death."
"Secondly, it can enlarge the wound so that the blade can be drawn out in the shortest possible time, thereby avoiding the risk of the blade being jammed by the enemy's body."
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head.
After getting rid of all the messy thoughts in your mind.
He once again focused his attention on the two sabers on the rice paper.
After staring for a long time.
Xu Yi slowly closed his eyes, leaned back on the Taishi chair, and crossed his hands in his mind.
At the same time, his mind was constantly thinking about how to merge two battles with different characteristics into one.
making it suitable for both horses
It can also be used in infantry combat.
As for the opinions put forward by Zhu Zongnian yesterday, it seems that they can only be used as a reference at this time.
It's not that the sword proposed by Zhu Zongnian is not good enough.
It is precisely because the sword he proposed is so excellent.
Therefore, Xu Yi will never use his opinions to build the sword he proposed.
At least, Xu Yi at this time will never equip the sword he proposed on a large scale.
As for the reason, it is very simple.
The sword he proposed was very similar to the Tang Hengdao that Xu Yi knew about in his previous life, both in style and craftsmanship.
And the three words "Tang Hengdao" mean a lot of money!
Xu Yi now needs a lot of money.
Naturally, it is impossible to assemble swords similar to Tang Hengdao for the three major battalions on a large scale.
I don't know how long it took, but the prototype of a knife gradually appeared in Xu Yi's mind.
The root of the blade is straight and slender, and is slightly curved starting from one-third of the blade. The tip is slightly upturned and has a reverse edge.
It can chop, chop, stab, and pick, and combines all the characteristics of a straight-edged knife and a curved-edged knife.
Therefore, it can be used by both infantry and cavalry.
Therefore, compared to the straight-edged knife similar to the Tang Hengdao proposed by Zhu Zongnian, this knife is more suitable for large-area assembly to a certain extent.
Because the blade resembles the feather of a swan goose, it was named the Yanling Sword in Xu Yi's original world.
There is even an imperial poem describing this thing.
That poem.
"The general marched south with courage and courage, with a sword of autumn water and feathers across his waist."
"The wind blows, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes and the flags stand high."
"There is a species of unicorn in the sky, but how can the ants in the burrow escape?"
"On the day when the imperial edict comes back in peace, my husband and I will take off our shirts."
Thinking of this, Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and slowly started to calligraphy and painting in the center of the rice paper.
After a while.
A lifelike wild goose feather knife suddenly appeared on the rice paper.
Xu Yi concentrated for a moment, then took up the pen under the Yanling sword again and drew the battle sword again.
There are many similarities in shape between the war sword and the Yan Ling sword.
The only difference is that the blade is narrower and has a larger curvature!
The Yan Ling knife starts to bend from one third of the blade.
This knife starts to bend from the handle.
Because its overall appearance is more like a willow leaf, it is named lancet.
Compared with Yan Ling Dao, it has all aspects.
The lancet blade is curved as a whole, and its center of gravity is further back.
The lancet, which inherits the lineage of the Mongolian scimitar, is more suitable for the "drag style."
As Lou Daoyong once said, "There is no absolute preference on the battlefield. Use whoever is easy to use and who can kill the enemy faster and better!"
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi calmed down, and then according to his memory, he slowly picked up a pen and marked the shape data of the two knives next to the Yanling Dao and the Lancet Dao.
Wait until it is marked.
He stood up slowly, walked to the bookcase and took out a pair of scissors.
Carefully cut out the rice paper with two knives in the center.
After cutting is completed.
Xu Yi whistled slowly.
It doesn't take a while.
The figure of Leader Wenxin appeared again in the study room of the side hall.
"I ask my heart to pay homage to the master."
Leader Wenxin slowly closed the side hall study room, then bowed his hands and said.
Xu Yi nodded slightly to signal Leader Wen Xin to come forward.
Wait until he reaches the desk.
Xu Yi gently pushed the Yanling Dao and Lancet Maps placed on the desk to the leader Wen Xin.
Then he ordered: "Send someone to the workshop outside the city and hand this map to the two brothers Zhu Zongting and Zhu Zongnian."
"Order him to forge these two swords first, as well as the sample of the sword Zhu Zongnian mentioned yesterday."
"After the samples are released, order them to bring the samples to the palace to see me."
After finishing speaking, Leader Wenxin took the map from the desk.
Then he solemnly saluted and said: "Obey the order!"
