"Brother Liu, what is this? Isn't this just a knife?"
Du Biao's eyes were bright. Although he didn't know what it was, he was sure that he had never seen this thing before. But immediately he looked suspicious. Sword versus cavalry? Isn't this a joke? The swords and weapons of their Baiya Army were still very powerful, but when facing the Huns' cavalry, they were simply scum and couldn't even get close.
Otherwise, why would he come to Yinzhou to buy his spear from Liu Zheng?
Zheng Yueru also looked curiously.
When did Liu Zheng secretly come up with these things again?
Regarding Du Biao's doubts, Liu Zheng smiled lightly: "This is the Mo Dao, specially made to restrain cavalry!"
"That's it?"
Du Biao looked uninterested and said hurriedly: "Brother Liu, I'm not interested in this Mo Dao. I just want your Silver Spear. Please give me a price!"
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
Are you kidding, that's it?
This is Mo Dao! The crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization! Mo Dao is the pinnacle of the long-handled sword of Chinese civilization! It became popular during the Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. The invention of the Mo Dao was originally used to deal with Turkic cavalry. Later, it became popular to deal with the "Sibari" of the Tang Dynasty who were famous for their cavalry!
Volume 16 of "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" contains: "There are four types of swords: the first is the Yi Dao, the second is the Barrier Dao, the third is the Horizontal Dao, and the fourth is the Mo Dao... The Mo Dao is also a long sword, held by infantrymen, and is an ancient weapon. Broken Horse Sword.”
The Mo Dao is a long sword held by the infantrymen of the Tang Dynasty. It developed from the horse-cutting sword of the Western Han Dynasty, and absorbed the shape and smelting technology of the Han Lu Mo Dao and the long swords of the Six Dynasties. There are specific departments for casting, storage, and management. The Mo Dao is extremely sharp and has excellent slashing effect. It is mainly used to kill enemy cavalry in wars. Its tactical effect is equivalent to today's anti-tank weapons. Because of its great deterrence, it is also used in the ceremonies of civil and military officials and vassal towns. guard.
The principle of its application is collective combat and teamwork. Secondly, the attack point is clear, which is to deal with cavalry!
This is the weapon Liu Zheng used after his Rhodok spear to reinforce the cavalry! In history, Modao was equipped with heavy infantry, but it made great contributions to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and played a decisive role in all major battles! For example, Pei Xingjian's Mo Dao Warriors and Li Siye's Mo Dao Team are both quite famous. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was not invaded by Turkic cavalry for many years was because of the existence of Mo Dao!
And now.
When Liu Zheng already had the Rodok spear, coupled with the Modao, this battle formation was perfect for dealing with cavalry! Liu Zheng's Yinyang is located in Liangzhou, with Chen Ping eyeing him in the east, wanting to capture the Liu family and his son at any time. There are strong soldiers and horses in Baiya in the north. Although they are still in the honeymoon period, they are official bandits! If you want to go south, you can do it at any time. Naturally, Liu Zheng's first defense was their cavalry!
"Brother, are you sure you don't want this Mo Dao?"
Liu Zheng laughed.
Du Biao shook his head: "Brother, I only want your silver spear!"
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, as for the price of refined salt, just follow what Brother Du said! As for the price of the spear, I can just negotiate with Yueru! But Brother Du, Liu Zheng has to say something ugly. At the front!"
"If you want our Mo Dao in the future, you can't get it with just money!"
Du Biao was overjoyed.
I didn't care at all about what Liu Zheng added later.
Liu Zheng smiled deliberately and looked at Wei Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, how many Mo Dao have you made?"
Wei Tiezhu said: "Report to the Young Master, there are more than a hundred!"
"Okay, bring them all to the training ground!"
Liu Zheng was quite excited.
Du Biao and Zheng Yueru looked at each other, didn't they just have a long knife? As for being so excited? The two of them also followed Liu Zheng. Inside Yintan City, there was a military training ground for Liu Zheng. This military training ground was different from ordinary military training grounds! Liu Zheng plans to turn this place into a harsh training base... specially used to train the young men led by Jiang Xuan. This training ground was originally very confidential, but because it has not been built yet, Liu Zheng is not afraid of Du Biao. Come and see.
Liu Zheng asked Wei Tiezhu to find Qin Changfeng and Jiang Xuan respectively, and then gave each side three hundred soldiers for training.
Zheng Yueru reminded Liu Zheng with her eyes that Du Biao was still here. How could the strength of the Yinzhou Army be revealed to others casually?
Liu Zheng acted as if he hadn’t seen it...
Just kidding, if Du Biao doesn't see how powerful Mo Dao is, how can he blackmail him?
Qin Changfeng, who was all cavalry again, was majestic. He looked at Jiang Xuan from a distance and laughed and said: "Xiao Xuanzi, let me see how you have progressed recently!"
Jiang Xuan was furious. Recently, under Qin Changfeng's training, Jiang Xuan was no longer the weak scholar before. His skin was much darker and his body was much stronger. Therefore, he had the confidence to yell at Qin Changfeng: "Xuan is afraid of you." Can’t do it? Brothers, line up for me!”
Behind Jiang Xuan are the gang of beggar boys he led. Like Jiang Xuan, these boys are no longer the thieves in Liangzhou in the past. They have become strong men with firm eyes. Liu Zheng asked Qin Changfeng to arrange devil training for them. It had only been less than two months, but the effects were already beginning to show.
There was no cavalry on Jiang Xuan's side, and Wei Tiezhu gave them Luo Duoke spears and Mo Dao.
Jiang Xuan's expression changed as soon as he saw it: "Brother, why is this? This is not fair!"
His group of brothers also looked at each other and cursed in their hearts. There was no other reason. They knew about the Rhodok spear battle formation, but it usually required more enemies and fewer enemies to restrain the cavalry! But today, there are three hundred people on each side?
How to fight this?
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing.
On Qin Changfeng's side, he had already burst into laughter and looked proud. These three hundred heavy armored cavalry were enough to crush these young guys.
"Brother, this, this..."
Jiang Xuan wanted to say something else.
Liu Zheng waved his hand to signal the drill to begin. Today, he not only wanted to see the power of this Mo Dao, but also wanted to see if Jiang Xuan had made any progress recently.
"Brothers, take it easy and don't scare these brats!"
"That's it!"
Qin Changfeng began to laugh mockingly, not paying attention to Jiang Xuan and the others in front of him at all. People roared and horses neighed, and the sound was overwhelming.
"Liu Zheng..."
Zheng Yueru felt a little distressed when she looked at Jiang Xuan at this moment.
"Don't worry about him."
Liu Zheng said lightly.
Du Biao also smiled beside him and said, "Brother Liu, what's worth seeing here?"
"This little general will definitely lose this time!"
He shook his head. As the third commander of the White Cliff Army, he believed that he was still very analytical.
"Hahaha, Brother Du, do you dare to take a gamble?"
Liu Zheng smiled.
Du Biao was stunned, then laughed and said, "What are you betting on?"
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "If Jiang Xuan can win, will Brother Du agree to Zheng's condition?"
"What conditions?"
Du Biao laughed and didn't take it to heart, because he felt that Jiang Xuan was weak and would not be easy to win.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "Brother Du also knows that our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce is more interested in the spice business..."
Du Biao was startled and looked in disbelief: "Brother Liu, that spice comes from the Western Regions! Are you thinking... that people from the Western Regions are not easy to deal with!"
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Brother, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce is poor. If we can reduce the number of middlemen, we can save a lot of money. What do you think?"
Du Biao laughed and said: "Is the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce poor? Hahahaha, this is really the biggest joke in the world! Okay, spice merchants, I still know a few of them, I'll make a bet with you!"
"good!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed.
Looking at Jiang Xuan again, he calmed down when faced with the murderous three hundred cavalry over there. These days, his previous arrogance has completely disappeared. Now when he encounters a problem, his first reaction is to think about how to solve the problem.
Three hundred cavalry?
Three hundred infantry?
One hundred spearmen, one hundred swordsmen, and one hundred crossbowmen.
How to fight this?
He began to think about it in his mind.
At this moment, Liu Zheng looked at Jiang Xuan and laughed and said: "Xiao Xuanzi, there are not many strange soldiers, and thousands of horses save the Central Plains. Talking and laughing are like the east of the river, and the heart and soul are worshiped by the supreme. The lonely cloud follows the murderous intention, and the flying birds avoid the gate. The day stays. Joy, the city is not noisy!"
Zheng Yueru and Du Biao were amazed and cheered.
This Young Master Liu can write a good poem even if he is practicing military training?
"The rare soldiers are not common, the strange soldiers are not common..."
"A surprise soldier?"
Jiang Xuan read a few words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an idea in his heart. Then he gathered everyone together again, first to calm everyone's emotions, and then to issue orders separately.
Liu Zheng smiled happily.
Qin Changfeng was still mocking: "Xiao Xuanzi, are you ready?"
"I'm coming as a teacher!"
"Haha, if you kneel down and call me Master, I won't kick your ass!"
The cavalry laughed.
Jiang Xuan made the arrangements and replied with confidence: "Come on!"
Qin Changfeng was so happy that he shouted loudly, and three hundred cavalry were dispatched at the same time, with a terrifying momentum. Zheng Yueru groaned, a little worried about Jiang Xuan. Although it was a drill, this man knew the importance, but Ma didn't! With so many war horses trampling past, how could Jiang Xuan be able to stop them?
Who would have thought that Jiang Xuan, standing firmly in the middle of the battle formation with a smile on his face, already looked like a general.
The men and horses of both sides were originally five hundred steps apart. When Qin Changfeng's cavalry reached one hundred and fifty steps, Jiang Xuan shouted and the crossbowmen began to shoot. Qin Changfeng's soldiers were wearing plate armor. , but also lost a few.
Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry and waited quietly. When the cavalry reached sixty steps, the crossbowmen retreated and the spearmen charged to resist the cavalry.
During this drill, Jiang Xuan divided the three hundred people into crossbowmen, garrison troops, front troops, jumping troops, and surprise troops. The spearmen acting as the vanguard were in front, and the Qi soldiers, mainly the Modao team, and the Tiaodang army were temporarily stationary. When the battle situation of the battle vanguard was unfavorable, the Tiaodang and Qi soldiers began to attack the enemy.
When Tiaodang and the surprise attack are unfavorable, all the remaining heavy infantry can really cooperate to kill the enemy.
When Qin Changfeng's cavalry entered the battle formation designed by Jiang Xuan, they had actually fallen into Jiang Xuan's trap.
