Chapter 578: Guan Zhang's Bravery
"Winged is worthy of his name!"
On the school field in Chengdu Dacheng, Yang Feng said with interest with a wine glass.
At this moment, Zhang Fei is competing with Xu Chu.
Or it can also be said to be a duel.
The two did not engage in horse fighting, but directly engaged in foot combat, and the weapon of choice was also the ring-headed sword, but the two of them each took an additional hook.
In fact, there are not many types of weapons in this era, the sword has basically withdrawn from the real battlefield and has become a status symbol, the weapon of infantry melee is the ring head knife, and the hook is still partially used, this kind of thing is still used until the Eastern Jin Dynasty, basically the halberd will withdraw from the battlefield. Needless to say, the spears, especially Ma Chao's Longxi cavalry, are all spears, halberds are the most, both cavalry and infantry use halberds in large quantities, and others are non-mainstream, such as the Yue Gong and the like, and what hammers and whips are basically invisible.
After all, the real weapons on the battlefield are determined by the enemy.
There was no cold-forged armor in this era.
In the same era, there is no need for those blunt weapons that specialize in armor piercing, their power is completely excessive, and they are more likely to consume physical strength on the battlefield, the light and flexible ring-head knife is enough, for the battle-hardened generals, they will not choose to carry an eighty-pound heavy knife to the battlefield, that is not to kill the enemy but to commit suicide. The most important thing on the battlefield is the speed of reaction, so even the cavalry in close combat prefers to use the knife, the spear is used to impact the infantry formation, the reaction speed of the knife in the melee is far greater than the spear, and the same eighty pound heavy knife is raised and cut down, I am afraid that those enemies with the spear have stabbed him to death several times.
You can cut off your opponent's arm with a ring-headed knife, so why bother to carry a big sword?
Doesn't the latter consume physical strength?
So Yang Feng won't see Zhang Fei and Xu Chu slashing with tomahawks and the like, they are both swords and shields that are the most suitable combination for fighting, but the small shield has been replaced with a hook setting, this kind of thing can be defended and attacked, and it is better than a small shield, especially since it is made of iron and stronger, and in order to reduce the burden on their bodies, they didn't even wear iron armor but put on leather armor.
This thing is mainly cut resistant.
Although there is His Majesty the Emperor next to him who can live the dead and flesh and bones, there is no need to worry about death, but the two of them must not stop to find the emperor to stop the bleeding if they are accidentally pulled by a knife, so it is not good to be cut by a knife and bleed too much to affect the combat effectiveness and lose the competition, you must know that His Majesty the Emperor took out the lottery for this duel is very tempting, Zhang Fei won the Feng Tinghou, Xu Chu won the promotion from Tinghou to Xianghou, both of them can be said to have gone all out, but ......
"Zhongkang is going to lose!"
Liu Bei, who was also watching the battle next to him, said with a smile.
Xu Chu really can't beat Zhang Fei, although Xu Chu is actually younger, but he is obviously worse in front of Zhang Fei.
"This is Guan Zhang's bravery!"
Yang Feng also sighed.
It is no wonder that later generations, especially in the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, are accustomed to using Guan Zhang as an analogy, Zhang Fei, who seems not to be powerful enough, almost has a terrifying momentum on the battlefield, especially he does not have any scruples like Zhao Yun last time, he understands that as long as he does not cut off his head, he completely let go, and as a result, from the moment the two of them fight, they are pressing Xu Chu to fight, Xu Chu may not be much worse than him in martial arts, but he is completely suppressed by him in terms of momentum, and he can only retreat and parry in the face of Zhang Fei's ring-headed knife that fell with the sound of breaking the air.
If you make an analogy, Zhang Fei really can't catch up with Ran Min, but it is difficult to withstand his attack if he is replaced by Li Siye.
This is truly honed by thirty years of bloody war.
After all, Li Siye only suppressed some Hu people in the Western Regions, and the two were completely different in rank.
As for the famous generals of the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that the genuine Yue Yunyang Zaixing can compare with Zhang Fei, and the rest are all food deliveries, which is the level of a truly peerless general.
At this moment, countless cheers rang out.
Xu Chu on the school field finally fell, accompanied by a heavy blow to Zhang Fei's ring head knife, Xu Chu, who had been beaten in fear, was shocked by the hook in his hand, and then fell to the ground, before he could get up, Zhang Fei's ring head knife had been on his chest and stepped on his knife, Xu Chu simply abandoned the knife and then stood up at the same time as Zhang Fei put away the knife, the two looked at each other and smiled and turned to Yang Feng in the stands.
"You're rewarded!"
Yang Feng inserted a Mo knife in front of Zhang Fei and said.
"Such a long sword!"
Zhang Fei exclaimed.
The length of the knife in this era represents the technical level, and the Mo knife is obviously the limit of the length of the knife.
Of course, except for His Majesty the Emperor's 300 catties of ship swords.
"Will it work?"
Yang Feng said.
Zhang Feifei immediately pulled out his Mo knife, held this terrifying weapon with both hands, and swung it violently in intoxication, and at the same time the cage door next to him opened, and a tiger that was dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor roared out inside. Zhang Fei turned around without hesitation, raised the Mo knife with both hands and slashed down with a roar, accompanied by the sunlight reflected by the blade, the tiger that was pounced fell at once, but it fell in half, and was cut in two by it from the middle, with scattered internal organs and splashed blood smashed into the dust.
There was cheering all around.
"Okay, this thing will be made more in the future, and I will give you a forging method!"
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
Firearms or something, let's talk about it later.
After all, there is no need for such high-end things in this era, the Han Dynasty's advantage over Siyi is completely overwhelming, and the cavalry of the Han Dynasty is equally strong, and the grassland peoples are completely beaten, so there is basically no need for defense, but the attack of expanding the territory in the future is necessary, and the land of those Hulu must be county-like, and they must also be organized, so war is also necessary, but the number of cavalry is limited after all, and the cost of raising horses is too high, so the offensive infantry is very cost-effective.
The attacking infantry, of course, had to use the Mo sword.
Liu Bei's side are all mountain infantry, and they themselves like long knives, and among the Three Kingdoms, the ring-headed knife of Shu is the longest.
Then let them grow to the limit!
Give them how to manufacture and use the Mo knife, and then let Zhang Fei form the Mo knife team, and promote it on a large scale in the future, go out to expand the territory and cut Hulu, this thing is supplemented by cavalry, plus strong crossbows such as the divine arm bow, it is basically enough to overwhelm all the enemies around. Don't say that there are no enemies around the Han Dynasty, those Xianbei must be cut first, and those guys in Goguryeo also have to be cut, although these guys are all subservient to the Han Dynasty, but surrender and tax collection are two different things, if you send officials to make them county-like, and then let them pay taxes to the imperial court, then they will definitely not do it.
Then you need to cut them.
There are also Qiang people.
And those places in the south that are not suitable for cavalry.
In short, there is something to cut in the future, and you can go to the Western Regions if you don't have to cut it, at this time, the Han Dynasty will have a long history in the Western Regions, which is just a symbolic existence, so you must cut it in the future, imitating the Tang Dynasty to set up a military town there, and a large number of garrison immigrants are the only choice, and only after a large number of immigrants can they be assimilated.
There are also mounted cavalry.
The mounted cavalry of this era did not reach the standard of the Iron Floating Slaughter, but the war horses exceeded the standard of the Iron Floating Slaughter, so it was necessary to improve the armor of the soldiers and war horses to the level of the mounted cavalry of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then match them with the Tang Dynasty version of the horse is enough. Such cavalry is enough to sweep through the Western Regions and even beat Guishan, the Western empires of Persia, including the Roman legions at this time, can't bear such a Han army, in fact, the Roman legions are also dying at this time, and they can't even beat the rest cavalry.
But when it's time to fight these countries, it's time to put gunpowder.
Yang Feng planned that the Han army at the peak of the cold weapon was only used to cut down the surrounding Hulu, after all, this process would take more than ten years, and when the Western Regions were operated as a base, it was estimated that it would take twenty years.
At that time, he could not still use cold weapons.
And at that time, this generation of famous generals basically withdrew from the battlefield, and the next generation was the era of disciplined soldiers, and then they could get on the muskets and line up to shoot the Roman legions.
Of course, the main thing is to let Zhang Fei and these famous generals carry rifles that are not in line with His Majesty the Emperor's aesthetics, let them carry horses and Mo knives, and then sweep the battlefield with mounted cavalry, and lead the Mo Dao team to cut down all the enemies, which is in line with His Majesty the Emperor's aesthetics, so he will not let the Han army enter the gunpowder age before these famous generals leave the field, and they are all lined up to shoot such cold weapons Famous generals are not as good as dogs, and any soldier who has trained for three days can put them down with one shot.
Or don't spoil their beauty.
Let them have a gorgeous curtain call at the pinnacle of cold weapons!
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Jiangdong has arrived in Jiangling!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly came over and said.
"Who did Sun Quan send to pick up the car?"
Yang Feng said.
"Gu Yong, Gu Yuan sighed, in addition, Lu Meng and Lu Ziming led 3,000 naval troops and 50 warships to Wuxian, but in winter, the shallow water and the large ships could not go up, so they did not continue to move forward, and stayed in Jiangling to wait for the holy driver."
Zhuge Liang said.
"Is a heap of stumps enough to stop them from taking over?"
Yang Feng sneered.
Of course, he is a little vexatious, the river is as big as an elephant, Qutang cannot be up, and the exhaustion of the pile means that the water level of the Yangtze River has been reduced to the minimum, and there is indeed no obstacle to the downward movement, but the upward movement is very easy to deviate from the channel and run aground under the impact of the water flow in Kuimen, Gu Yong and Lu Meng's reasons are not unreasonable, and they continue to travel thousands of miles in order to take over the car It is indeed a bit exaggerated. Wuxian is already the western boundary of Jingzhou, and then the eastern boundary of Yizhou is Yufu, which is Fengjie, with a Qutang Gorge in the middle, and it is not rude for Gu Yong and the two to go to Wuxian, after all, at this time, Sun Quan's identity is only Huiji Taishou, even if he is waiting for Yang Feng in Jianye, it is okay, Jingzhou Thorn History got Yizhou to meet the emperor, but he is not Jingzhou Thorn History.
Zhuge Liang and the others next to him didn't speak again.
"Then let's go, I'm going to meet this Guiji Taishou!"
Yang Feng said.
