Chapter 25: Duel

Sang Yi rode a donkey, but the speed couldn't get up, Xu Ping and Zhao Zi had to accompany him slowly, and when they arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, it was almost noon.

At this time, the weather is hot, and the villagers have already stopped working, and the wind blows through the door hole.

Seeing Xu Ping coming with the guests, some villagers had already come up to lead their livestock, and after waiting for the people to come down, they were led to the back manger.

Xu Ping said to Sang Yi and Zhao Zi: "The two of you will go to the village to worship tea first." ”

When I entered the courtyard, there was a row of shelves on each side, on which were placed knives and guns, all of which were shining.

Sang Yi looked at it and said to Xu Ping: "It turns out that the village has already laid a weapon. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "This is all a new fight recently, I heard that thieves are rampant, I have to take precautions, otherwise I will be attacked in Zhuanglai, and I have to wait for death." ”

Zhao Zi smiled at his subordinates: "Can this group of countrymen also fight weapons?" ”

After speaking, strolling to the shelf, Xu Ping and Sang Yi hurriedly followed.

Picking up a big knife from the shelf, Zhao Zi said to one of his subordinates: "This knife also looks a little good, pull out your knife and try it!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zi was rude, Sang Yi turned his head to look at Xu Ping, only to see that his face was calm and he didn't speak.

The soldier smiled and pulled out his waist knife, held it in his hand, and said to Zhao Zi: "The strength of the Yanai is too great, and the small ones can't afford it, please take some of it." ”

Zhao Zi said: "Just take it, I have a measure!" ”

Raise the knife above your head and slash at the soldier's waist knife!

As soon as the knife went down, everyone was stunned, including the surrounding villagers, all of whom surrounded them.

Everyone has one idea in their hearts, except for Xu Ping.

Unlike everyone, Xu Ping was surprised that the weapons in the forbidden army were so useless, and as soon as the knife went down, it was cut into a big hole, although it was not broken, it was already scrapped.

Others had another idea in their hearts, how could it be that a random knife in this Zhuangzi was a treasure knife, and it could far outperform the standard weapons in the forbidden army!

Especially those Zhuang Ke, they didn't believe that the weapons they usually fiddled with casually were even more powerful than the weapons in the forbidden army!

Zhao Zi and his soldiers were like ashes, especially the one who held a waist knife and let Zhao Zi cut it, his legs were already trembling. If you can cut your own saber like this, you can't do it with an ordinary sword!

Zhao Zi stared at the cut on his waist knife, and after a while, he shouted: "It's not counted this time, take it, come again!" ”

He threw the big knife in his hand on the shelf, took another one in his hand, and raised his hand to make another knife.

The cut on the waist knife was deeper than the last time, and the soldier with the knife was already crying.

Sang Yi looked at it and sighed: "The little farmer is really a real person, who would have thought that you would have such a sharp weapon on the village!" If I said it earlier, I would have come to see this treasure knife! ”

Xu Ping said: "Treasure knife? Is this a treasure sword? ”

This is just a knife made of pure tool steel, and the most used double-liquid quenching is a bit technical, and in the previous life, it was also a rotten street technology, and any small workshop could do it.

In order to make farm tools, Xu Ping asked Xu Chang to buy 10,000 catties of pig iron from the iron shop in the capital, and set up three furnaces in the village, a coke oven, an iron-making furnace, and a frying steel furnace. The pig iron is turned into molten iron, phosphorus and sulfur are removed outside the furnace, and then the required steel is made in a frying furnace.

This is nothing, Xu Ping's previous life read the books on iron smelting in the earthen furnace and explained this in great detail. Coupled with the skills he learned from dealing with small agricultural machinery workshops in the countryside for many years, he can use sparks to accurately identify the grade of steel, and it is not so difficult to make carbon-10 tool steel. The sparks of steel grinding on the grinding wheel vary according to the grade, although it is mentioned in the book, but Xu Ping has gone through many practices, and the spark will never look at the wrong grade of steel. This kind of technology has long been used in large factories, and they have more scientific methods, but in some small workshops, they can only use this kind of local method.

Most of the 10,000 catties of pig iron were made into two kinds of steel by Xu Ping, one was No. 45 structural steel, and the other was carbon 10 tool steel, most of which were used to make farm tools, and the rest were made into knives and guns.

The ban on civil weapons at this time in the Song Dynasty was mainly forbidden, such as crossbows, spears, armor, equipment, especially the army's banners, knives, guns, bows, and shields. Xu Ping's control of these, in order to protect himself, is a common thing in the larger Zhuangzi, and no one thinks it is strange.

It wasn't until today that they knew the quality of these weapons that they felt something was wrong.

Zhao Zi looked at the knife in his hand, his face changed red and white, and after a long time, he put the knife down and said to Xu Ping: "It's me who underestimated you, a country boy, I never thought that you would have such courage!" Where did you buy so many fine irons to make these knives just to make me ugly? ”

Xu Ping looked at him and said with a smile: "What is the best iron, the hoe in my village is also made of this iron, how can it be so magical?" This sword and gun have been sitting here for a few days, how can they wait for Tihar to come? ”

Zhao Zi ran into this big nail, and he didn't have the same heart as before, so he said to Xu Ping: "There is no need to say this nonsense, you have to compete, find your people to come out!" ”

Xu Ping said: "It's better to worship tea first, don't you feel a little thirsty along the way?" ”

Zhao Zi said: "You can't die if you drink saliva at night!" Just call your people out! ”

Xu Ping said: "Okay. However, the yard is small, and it can't be used, so how about we go to the wheat field? ”

Zhao Zi shouted "go" and took people out first.

Sang Yi looked at the knives and guns on the shelf, shook his head, and followed Xu Ping out of the door. After this scene just now, he didn't dare to be sure that the Zhuang guests here were not as good as soldiers.

Xu Ping greeted Gao Daquan and four particularly outstanding bankers and came to the wheat field together.

When he stood still on the wheat field, Xu Ping said to Zhao Zi: "Ti Shi, let's talk first, my Zhuang Ke here is stupid, and he only learned a few bayonets indiscriminately, and he doesn't understand anything else." How to compare, or to mention. ”

Zhao Zi said: "The weapons in your village are amazing, but your family has money, and my subordinates are useless, and there is nothing to say." If we talk about the battle, if our forbidden army makes another mistake, it will really make people laugh and lose their big teeth! Bayonet the gun, or then we will say that we will not be able to win! ”

A Zhuang guest had already taken a spear, Xu Ping let the head of the spear go, wrapped it in a cloth dipped in lime, and said to Zhao Zi: "Ti Shi, if the lime falls on the body, even if you lose, you must go down." ”

This is still a trick that Xu Ping learned from "Water Margin", and I don't know if it is popular at this time.

Zhao Zi took the soldiers to untie his waist knife and said to Xu Ping: "It's up to you!" ”

Xu Ping called Gao Daquan and commanded in a low voice: "How many times have I taught you to practice, group combat, the core is in command!" You behave well, earn a face for me, and eat the wine and meat in the evening! ”

Gao Daquan said: "The little one understands!" ”

The two sides were in a row, and Zhao Zi and Gao Daquan stood in the middle of their own side, standing at a distance of about five steps.

Gao Daquan crossed his hand at Zhao Zi: "I've seen Tishi!" Xiao Gao Daquan was originally a soldier of the Xiang Army under the Qunmu Division, because the horse supervisor was withdrawn, he got rid of the military and became a banker in the small official village. ”

Zhao Zi sneered: "It turned out to be an unsuccessful van army!" You just have to come here, if you can touch a little corner of my clothes, you will win! ”

The forbidden army, especially the forbidden army that guards the capital, is selected by thousands of people in the whole world, from size to strength, it is the best choice, and it is already an insult to fight against the Zhuang Ke with the army of the box.

Xu Ping said to Sang Yi: "Sang Xiucai, how about you make a judgment?" ”

Sang Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay." Listen to me! ”

Walking through the middle of the two rows, going out for some distance, turning around, Sang Yi's arms raised high. glanced at the two opposing sides, his hand fell suddenly, and he shouted: "Fight!" ”

This sound fell, and Gao Daquan shouted violently: "Left! ”

With the cheers, Gao Daquan stepped forward with an arrow, and the spear in his hand first flicked away, pulling away the spear that Zhao Zi had stabbed, and lifting the back of the gun to take Zhao Zi's throat.

Zhao Zi was taken aback, and felt that Gao Da's strength was particularly strong, so he had to drag the spear and take a step back.

Step back this step, the winner is decided!

With Gao Daquan's voice, after he stepped out, the other four people were already behind him. The four of them turned around in unison, formed a roughly straight line, and quickly stepped forward, surrounding the two sergeants on their left.

This is one of the several basic formation changes in group combat, and Zhuang Ke has long been proficient in it.

The drills of the forbidden army were not so delicate, and the two soldiers on the left were immediately surrounded by four people. Four spears stretched out, some stabbed straight at them, and some pushed the soldier's spear away, and in the blink of an eye, the two soldiers were shot several times in the chest and abdomen, and there were white spots.

The two soldiers on the right were just separated by Gao Daquan and Zhao Zi on the other side, and they could only watch their companions get shot in a hurry.

The two soldiers who had been shot were already blindfolded, and the spears in their hands were just fluttering.

Sang Yi on the side shouted: "The gun is in the chest and abdomen, you two have already appeared!" ”

With this shout, Sang Yi suddenly burst out, flashed into the formation, and threw out the two soldiers who had been shot one by one. Dodge out on your own, unscathed!

Xu Ping took a deep look at Sang Yi, his first shot was extremely exciting, the rabbit rose and fell, the movements were clean and neat, and he did not drag the mud and water at all.

Looking at the iron stream on Sang Yi's back, Xu Ping also felt that his scalp was numb. Think about such a person, he looks inconspicuous, and he is not in a hurry to speak, but once he turns his face, the iron shovel suddenly reaches the top of his head!

Zhao Zi saw that he had two people on the scene, and he was furious in his heart, and a spear was opened, turning like a wheel, and the water could not be splashed.

Gao Daquan got Xu Ping's orders, but he just teased, and his body kept retreating.

Zhao Zi played lively, but forced the remaining two soldiers to the side.

Gao Daquan suddenly stretched out his gun into Zhao Zi's gun shadow, stabbed suddenly, and his body retreated, leading him over. Drink again in his mouth: "Left!" ”

The four bankers, as before, just circled and surrounded the other two soldiers, still stabbing down.

At this time, Zhao Zi was the only one left, and he became more and more angry, and the spear dance was extraordinarily exciting.

Zhuang Ke didn't come up to surround him, but just followed the tall body in two rows, letting Gao Daquan resist Zhao Zi alone, making it clear that he wanted to exhaust Zhao Zi's strength.

Zhao Zi couldn't touch other people's side no matter what, he was just entangled by Gao Daquan, and he didn't come up to fight him, but just retreated from the sidelines.

Sang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Zhao Tizhi lost unjustly, if you really talk about marksmanship, no one here can compare to him." It's just that if you don't talk about strategy, you're already lost. ”

Xu Ping was expressionless, but said in his heart, does the marksmanship really have to be like this?
