Chapter 64: August 15
Dong Ce placed the old mother in Shilipu, with red sleeves waiting, as for his brother and sister-in-law, Dong Ce didn't embarrass them, the mansion was recovered, but the dilapidated small courtyard was given to them. Before leaving, he gave them another ten taels of silver, as for whether it was spent or a small deal, it was not Dong Ce's responsibility.
After returning to Anxiangdun, Dong Ce began to train the men and women with great intensity.
There are both long-range and close combat, but it is the same set, in the morning to train archery, in the afternoon is to spear stabbing.
It's just that the bows and arrows have been replaced by those captured big iron bows from the soft lying on the stomach of the Ming army, and the short bows with little strength have been replaced by those captured large iron bows, which are well-made, have a long range and great strength, and even the feather arrows are longer than those of the Ming army. Of course, the amount of energy required is also greater, so at first, it is not very easy to use.
However, Dong Ce does not have the slightest room for accommodation here.
In this era, the threat of bows and arrows to heavy armor is really very ordinary, and the scene of the golden and white Baya soldiers hanging on their feathers and arrows arrogantly fighting brought him a deep shock, so he also settled down and must practice his own arrows for a good life.
The target was placed 90 meters away, almost half of the original 60 meters. And the requirement for shooting is still to hit the bull's-eye.
This kind of large iron bow used by Jiannu to make a riding bow has a range farther than the infantry bow of the Ming army, as far as 200 meters away, within 70 meters, okay? One? Root? Read? Novel m.ybdu. shoots accurately, but Jiannu usually shoots when it is pulled to about fifty meters.
It is not easy to shoot the bull's-eye from 90 meters away, but it can definitely be done after long-term training - Dong Ce's requirements are also extremely strict, Dong Ce is to serve with a whip, not to eat lunch, and so on.
Over the years, great progress has been made, not only has the accuracy of the dunding's archery been greatly improved, and the spear stabbing has become more powerful, but even the female army that has been organized has also been in shapeβthe short bow can be drawn, the target can be shot, and the spear stabbing and the queue have become more or less the same.
But at this time, they did not train, but gathered in a large circle, and from time to time let out an exclamation and shout.
In the circle, the shadow of the gun is like a mountain.
Dong Ce was practicing his gun, and what he was holding in his hand was his haunting Heshuo gun.
With a shake of both hands, a spear flower the size of a basin bloomed on the spear head, and the blade of the steel spear danced in the air, blooming with a snowy light.
For a while, only the shadow of the gun flickered in his sight, and it was actually stuffed. The spear stabbed at the swing of the spear, breaking through the air and letting out a piercing scream, like a ghost's scream. The big gun turned back and rounded, and the shadow of the gun like a mountain filled the air, giving people an invisible pressure. And if you look closely, this set of marksmanship, is not a random dance, but extremely orderly, wide open and close, powerful but with indescribable density and delicacy, a big gun, woven into a fine and thick net, if there is an enemy in front of you, it will definitely be covered by death, and can no longer break free.
After finishing the marksmanship all the way, Dong Ce slowly stopped his figure, he gasped softly, his head was covered with sweat, a pair of cyan trousers, and the cyan single clothes were already sweaty, although his body was very tired, but there was a kind of joy and excitement in his heart that was echoing and flickering.
He only felt that the muscles and bones of his whole body were stretched, and he was indescribably comfortable and refreshing.
As soon as Dong Ce's action ended, the audience was quiet at first, and then there was a warm applause.
"My lord, what a handsome marksmanship!"
"Boss, what a big gun, I'm afraid that dozens of people can't get close to it!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A sentence of heartfelt praise floated into Dong Ce's ears, and even Shi Jin and the others were also dazzled by it.
As the saying goes, the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, but it is also the most difficult to practice and difficult to use. And one inch long and one inch strong, the longer the big gun, the more difficult it is, but this big gun is in Dong Ce's hands, but it has exerted great power. Like a long-standing dragon, straight to the sky!
The leader is only less than twenty years old, no matter how you look at it, he has been obsessed with this big gun for more than ten years!
Wang Hun leaned over with a greedy face and said with a smile: "Boss, let's take a look at this gun, is it okay?" β
Since he got this big gun back in Lingyidu that day, Dong Ce has been hiding like a baby, waiting for leisure and not showing people, and Wang Hun and other henchmen are not seen. Wang Hun has been greedy for a long time, and this time it is rare for him to take it out, so he naturally has to take a look.
Dong Ce was in a good mood, took the hot towel handle handed by Wang Tong, laughed, and threw the big gun to Wang Hun: "Take it and see!" β
Wang Hun sighed happily and reached out to pick it up, but it turned out to be unexpectedly heavy, and he almost didn't hold it steady. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and secretly smacked his tongue: "Such a heavy gun, it could be that it was made of pig iron, but I clearly saw that the barrel of the gun was full of toughness!" β
As soon as he got it, Shi Jin and the others hula and surrounded him.
Everyone took a closer look, and they were all envious in their hearts.
This big gun, about one zhang eight feet long, enough goose egg thickness, color for light gold, stretch out your hand, weigh more than gold stone, there is no scar up and down the whole body, the texture is not messy from head to tail, the thickness of the head and the end of the rod is not different. Those who do not know should think that it is artificially cut, but they do not know that it is a tree that grows like this, even if it is an expert in cultivating ash poles, it takes ten years to plant this pole with a hundred acres of land, and it seems that such good materials only have two hands.
Although it is made of wood, the wood grain is pressed extremely tightly and the density is very large, so that a big gun weighs thirty-three pounds.
The martial arts of this Heshuo big gun can be called the ultimate killing in the era of cold weapons. The difference from the previous horse warfare technique is that the high-quality ash pole replaces the hardwood as the handle of the gun, and the ash pole has both soft and hard, excellent elasticity, and the art of killing the big gun has evolved to the extreme.
You can go straight to the middle of the curve, or you can ask for it in the curve.
Several people couldn't put it down, and after a while, they reluctantly sent it back to Dong Ce.
Dong Strategy took a break for a while, and said loudly: "Today is August 15, a good day for reunion, this official asked Li Gui to kill a sheep and make a table of all sheep!" Let's go, let's eat! β
Hearing this, Dun Ding and his family members cheered, they had always been frugal, of course, they could also be said to be poor. You may not be able to see meat once a year, and it is a great blessing to be able to eat a meal of white flour buns during the New Year, and it is natural to be happy to hear that adults are so generous.
Leaving two people to watch the cattle, the rest of the people returned to the mound in joy.
Dong Ce went back to take a shower and came out in a neat and tidy suit.
The banquet was held in the open space under the pier, and Anxiangdun had never had a gathering of dozens of people before, let alone such a large table and chairs, so Dong Ce simply asked everyone to move their own tables, make up a circle, and sit down.
Li Gui came out with a big wooden plate and shouted with a smile: "The food is coming!" β
With the kind of gold sore medicine that Wei Hongsleeve concocted, their injuries healed quickly, and now their actions are already very neat.
Li Gui brought the plate up, first put a large plate of roast lamb ribs weighing almost three catties in front of Dong Ce, and smiled lowly: "Boss, you use it slowly." β
Only then do you put the rest of the dishes in front of others.
Wang Yu and Wang Tong were also busy, and after a while, the dishes were ready, and a fat sheep weighing more than 60 catties was killed, and more than 40 catties of meat were produced, which was enough for a full meal for the whole pier. The dishes are extremely hearty, with roasted lamb shanks, stewed lamb trotters, and a rich haggis soup with a tantalizing aroma.
Some children couldn't help it, and secretly pulled a piece of meat down and stuffed it in their mouths, and their mother found that a slap was slapped on the back of their heads, and they didn't dare to cry, but they just stood there in a regular manner, and their faces were flushed. The children of this era are much more sensible than later generations, and his mother glanced at Dong Ce with some anxiety, for fear that he would blame.
Dong Ce smiled slightly, stretched out his chopsticks and put a bite of mutton in his mouth, only to feel that it was fragrant and crispy, fragrant and rich, and the taste was excellent.
He smiled at Li Gui and said, "Lao Li, you are hard enough to do this work!" β
Li Gui hurriedly didn't even dare to say it, Dong Ce waved his hand: "Eat!" Everyone is casual, and today is a day of reunion, and those etiquette will not be restricted. β
Everyone hurriedly answered yes and feasted one after another.
Few people spoke, everyone was enjoying this rare feast, and Dong Ce was also gulping. A piece of lamb ribs weighing almost three catties was put into his stomach, and he drank a bowl of mutton soup, even Dong Ce's amount of food was a little supportive.
He slipped up to the pier, Zhou Zhong was on duty, a big bowl of haggis soup was placed on the women's wall of the pier, Zhou Zhong held the flatbread in one hand, and ate it sweetly, and when he saw Dong Ce coming, he hurriedly saluted.
Dong Ce waved his hand and smiled slightly: "You eat yours." β
He leaned down and shouted, "Li Gui, leave the rest of the sheep's hooves for Zhou Zhong to bring up." β
"Yes!" Li Gui hurriedly responded.
Dong Ce walked to the side of the pier platform and looked to the southeast, where was the location of Shilipu.
Mother has been settled in Shilipu, I went back to see it, and quietly asked Erya to inquire, Red Sleeves and mother get along very well, and my heart is relaxed. During this period, he paid money again, and Zhang Han came in person, but he was a lot closer to Dong Ce, but Dong Ce felt that between his eyebrows, his expression was a little complicated.
However, Dong Ce didn't bother to figure out what other people were thinking, he didn't care about the north, south, west and east, and waited and saw what happened.
"Today's day of reunion, it's time to go home and have a meal together in the evening." Dong Ce said secretly, thinking of the soft and soft body of the red sleeves, and the small mouth of the red Ling'er, his heart was hot.
