It was windy this morning, but sunny in the afternoon.
A group of children followed Xiaosi, following the horse-riding boy Lu into the town, laughing and making noise, as if the events of yesterday had been forgotten.
There was a little girl in the young man's arms. He was holding back his saliva while looking at the steamed bun shops along the road. "Da Guo, I want some snacks. Lots and lots of snacks."
"Okay, that's enough." Li Ying fondly touched his pigtails.
Zhu Biao and Li Fei looked at the tall figure in front of them and couldn't help but envy, when they would be able to gallop forward. When I think about what will happen later, I immediately start discussing what weapons to buy later.
"I want to buy a knife, one that's bigger than Butcher Zhang's kitchen knife, hehe." Li Hui said with a smile.
"Tch, I have short hands when playing with knives. If I fight a few times right away, I will knock me off my horse." Zhu Biaoyao said in particular.
"Ah, what should we do really? I saw Butcher Zhang being so cool with his knife. He could wipe out any stray bird with just a few cuts."
"Ah Hui, you might as well play with me with a gun. Anyway, your family also has a family tradition of marksmanship, although it's not as good as our Zhu family."
"Son, you can't beat my brother, and your father may not be able to beat him either. My brother is invincible in the world." Li Fei looked forward with his head raised, his eyes full of admiration, but Zhu Biao did not deny it.
"Sanniang, don't you think so? My brother is the most powerful."
"Ah, yes, yes." Hu Sanniang looked forward in a daze, maybe she still hasn't recovered from yesterday's incident, yesterday's shadow is a bit indelible, maybe this is the hero saving the beauty in the storybook.
"Brother, what weapon do you think I should use? I just want to use a sword, but it's too short. I also want to ride a horse."
"Then let's use a long sword. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword used by the Martial Saint Guan Gong, one sword kills a rat." Li Ying thought, "However, long swords are generally heavier, so few can withstand three swords."
It may also be that Guan Yu uses the instant kill and critical strike style and cannot use three swords at all. After all, one sword is stronger than the other, and three swords are already insufficient. Needless to say, this will dampen the enthusiasm of children.
"Wow" the eyes of the two little boys suddenly lit up.
"By the way, where's Hei Wazi? Why didn't I see him today?"
"Master, it must have happened yesterday. His mother scolded him." Shishi said beside Sanniang.
"Oh, Sanniang, why did you come out? Didn't your father blame you?" He smiled and looked at the little girl in the red corset.
"No, no." Today, this girl is becoming more and more shy. She is usually quite cheerful.
"Brother, it's all my fault for causing you to get hurt." Li Fei still said what he had been holding back all the way.
"You kid, you know how to apologize. That's good, but not only me, but also a few of them are in danger."
"I'm sorry, big guy." Li Hui said, bending down.
"Okay, okay, no one blames you. Who knew that a manly Li Fei is afraid of the dark? If he told it, he would make those boys in the next village laugh to death, hahaha."
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Li Pei blushed for a while. She had a yellow face, but she looked like an apricot face.
"Brother knows how to laugh at me, huh, I won't be afraid anymore."
"really?"
“It’s more real than steamed vegetables.”
"Haha, okay, you can also pick one for Hei Wazi as a gift later, sorry."
"okay."
...
It was a small blacksmith shop. The owner was a man named Jiang, who was beating the raw material. There was also a half-grown man who was working hard to pull the bellows.
"What's the matter?" The man had a big scar on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved easily when he spoke, which was quite scary. Li Sha and Shishi couldn't help but get closer to Li Ying.
"Master Jiang, I want to make a horse weapon." Li Ying said.
"Oh, what's your request?"
"It can't be eight feet long and weighs no more than a hundred pounds. It just needs to be sharp and hard. I haven't decided on the shape yet. Do you have any recommendations?" That's about two meters.
"It's not as heavy as a hammer, and you don't look like someone who uses such weapons. The long weapons are nothing but spears. What kind of weapons do you want?"
"What's the difference?"
The man glanced at Li Ying and then said slowly, "The most famous thing about the sword is the halberd. The halberd is a combination of sword and spear. Needless to say, it is mostly used for ceremonial purposes.
The most famous spears are spears and spears. People think that the difference between spears and spears is the head. The reason why spears are called spears is because their shapes are too similar. In fact, this is not the case. The biggest difference should be the shaft, and the hard shaft is called spears. , the soft rod is the gun. "
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Biao interjected.
Seeing the inquiring eyes of the children, he became interested and continued, "Although guns have been eliminated now, in terms of lethality, guns are far inferior.
Guns are mostly used for projection on the battlefield, and the main attack method relies on stabbing. If the weapon is weak or intercepted, the soft rod is elastic and can well relieve the strength of the hand, so the penetration ability is insufficient.
The sword is not only sharp, but is usually created with a "Liu complex" when making it. The "Liu complex" sounds like a gentle and affectionate thing, but in fact it is extremely cruel.
Because the 'retention complex' allows the cavalry to use the horse's spear to penetrate the enemy, they can still take out the weapon freely, preventing the next wave of attacks from being delayed due to the inability to pull out the horse's spear.
The Tang Dynasty relied on this weapon to conquer the Turks. At that time, Ma Shan was a key factor in the cavalry's repeated victories.
But now, due to the relatively high requirements for the user of the spear, it is not only heavy, but if the strength is insufficient, it is easy to be unable to retrieve it and get stuck. In addition, the Song Dynasty is currently short of horses, and aristocratic families have gradually given up on the method of making the spear. "
After saying this, there was still a lot of regret on his face. It was really sad that such a sharp weapon was ignored. It was obvious that Master Jiang had a deep affection for this weapon and was quite familiar with the battlefield.
"I wonder if Master Jiang can make a double-eared halberd with crescent-shaped blades on both sides and a long sharp point sticking out of the middle?" Li Ying was afraid that he didn't know. After all, many legends about Lu Bu come from romance novels.
The blacksmith couldn't help but frown, I talked about half-day spears and spears, but you asked me about halberds.
"Are you talking about the Fangtian Painted Halberd in the hands of Marquis Wen Lu Bu?"
Li Ying nodded.
"Young people all like fancy things. Most of Fang Tian's painted halberds are just exaggerations. They are not useful. The head of the halberd can easily get stuck. The battlefield is changing rapidly. By the time you pull out the halberd, you will have been dead. ." The man stopped talking, why did he say this with no hair at all, "Hey, think about it carefully, if it looks good, the red tassel gun is quite suitable for you."
Looking at Master Jiang's expression, Li Ying was also helpless. Today, his strength has become stronger. Just piercing, striking, stabbing, and picking will definitely not be able to exert the full effect of his own strength. He can only chop and slash like a halberd. Only by doing large-scale damage such as , sweeping and so on can the divine power be developed to the maximum.
"Master Jiang, I don't know. Brother Ying is so strong that he can carry heavy objects weighing more than a thousand kilograms." Hu Sanniang helped explain.
Li Ying cast an approving look, and the latter turned slightly red with pleasure.
Blacksmith Jiang looked at the young man with doubts. He didn't have all his hair, how strong he could be, but he still nodded, "Okay, if you have money, you can do anything. Fang Tian's painted halberd has been forged before, so he is quite familiar with it. What do you have?" Require."
“A sharp and stiff rod, the heavier the better.”
"Okay, what about you?"
"Master Jiang, I want a long sword, like Guan Yu's. What kind of sword is Qinglong's?" Li Fei turned around.
"Qinglong Yanyue Knife, just get a wooden one when Ah Hui is still young. When you grow up, I will change it to a larger one."
"Okay, big brother." It was indeed too big to lift.
"Then I will use the red tassel gun, which is also made of wood." Zhu Biao said.
"Where's Sanniang?"
"Then I want to marry you." Sanniang is still too kind. She prefers to care about other people's feelings, and she doesn't say she really likes her.
Master Jiang's eyes lit up, it was not a waste of time.
"Okay girl."
"Brother, what can I buy Heiwazi?"
"Hmm." Heiwazi, who has enough strength but doesn't like to learn to ride a horse, looks like Dian Wei, "Let's buy a two-handed halberd."
"good."
"Master Jiang, calculate how much it will cost."
"The total is more than a hundred taels. With a discount of one hundred taels, you can pay a deposit first to pick up the goods and then pay the full price. The main thing is that your Fang Tian Painting Halberd is more time-consuming and laborious, sir, and the others are just children's toys."
"Okay, how long will it take to get it?"
"Next month. We've run out of iron recently and haven't restocked it yet."
"Master, give me the money." Master immediately took out a heavy bag. Fortunately, he brought enough silver today, but it was really painful to pay fifty taels all at once.
"Brother, why are you so embarrassed? I agreed to buy a gift." Li Fei touched his head.
"You have a lot of money. If you take it today and spend it tomorrow, go back."
"Yeah, I went to buy some snacks. My stomach is growling." It was obvious that Li Simei had been bored for a long time.
Don't tell me I almost forgot, "Let's go buy some snacks."
