Chapter 53: Fighting
(Thanks to zero zero Kkexin, kang100 for the tip, ask for tickets, and the third will be delivered!) )
"It's a fair fight." The coach of Wendeng Camp made Lin Wei shout, and he looked at Li Jing and Feng Liang in front of him. "You must pay attention to protect yourselves, and you must fight and learn from each other, and everything will stop at the point. Whoever wins or loses, I don't want to affect the relationship. ”
In the autumn sun in the afternoon, Li Jing looked very calm, as if enjoying the warmth of the autumn day. Li Jing is more than six feet tall and has a handsome face. Especially at this time, he was calm and calm, which added a sense of coldness to him. Regarding the competition proposed by the county lord of Xihe, Li Jing did not hesitate. At this time, he was wearing the set of family heirloom mountain armor given by the old village chief, and the two unicorns on his shoulders were vicious, and his eyes were wide with anger, especially because of the gold-plated appearance. The wings of the phoenix wings made of copper and iron spread out on both sides, protecting his ears and covering most of Li Jing's face. The cowhide neck guard nailed with rivets firmly protected Li Jing's neck.
A full set of 30 pounds of mountain armor with phoenix wings and unicorn swallowing shoulders, a lion belt and shin armor, and cloud-headed black leather boots. Carrying a seven-foot jade tool, a stone and six bucket horn bows, a three-foot-three-standard horizontal knife hanging from his waist, holding a one-foot-three-inch eight-foot hard-rod spear, and stepping down a five-foot-tall black war horse.
Li Jing was fully armed, and his eyes looked directly at Feng Liang opposite. He didn't know before that in addition to being a gentleman, Feng Liang was actually a master of horse lances. But even if he knows the Tao now, when the county lord of Xihe proposed that the two fight, Li Jing still agreed very happily. Without him, I only saw that Feng Liang was not pleasing to the eye in my heart, and I wanted to take this opportunity to smash his prestige.
Feng Liang seemed to have the same idea as Li Jing, at this time, he had already lost the embarrassed appearance of being snatched by Lin Wei empty-handed and almost fainted. For this competition with Li Jing, he is obviously determined to win, and has re-put on a complete set of clothes. The same phoenix wings are added to the mountain armor, but the entire armor is also painted with a layer of bright crimson on the outside, which shines incomparably.
In addition to the horizontal knife and longbow, the long weapon Feng Liang chose was not a spear, but a horse lance.
It was a hideous weapon that was one foot long, three inches and eight feet long, and more than four meters long. The thick and one-grip composite lance, the three-foot-long stainless steel lance, and the three-sided blade more than two feet long all show the grandeur of this first weapon in cavalry warfare.
Looking at the lance, Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little envious, and there were even more envious voices from the surrounding area.
The predecessor of the lance was a spear, but compared to the spear, the performance was increased several times. It can be said that especially with the beginning of the armor and cavalry equipment of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the cavalry has become a decisive force in the struggle for world domination. The Xianbei Murong clan established the Yan State and the Di people established the former Qin, from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, which was the era of cavalry duels, and this environment created the development of cavalry weapons and armor.
Because of the heavy iron cavalry equipped with armor and cavalry, the horse lance, a weapon with super armor-piercing ability, has become the first weapon in cavalry warfare.
There are many processes involved in the production of a horse lance, and the main trunk of the shaft is taken from the finest toughness, peeled into a uniform thickness, and glued. Take the strongest wood to make the bow of the oak wood is the most, followed by mulberry, oak, rattan, and the worst to use bamboo. Soak the fine scorn in oil repeatedly. The bubble is no longer deformed, no longer cracked, and the first step has been completed. This process takes almost a year, after which the strips are removed and dried in the shade for several months. Then use the best glue paint glue to make a handful of thick, eight zhang long (note, this Han ruler, Tang ruler one zhang three feet eight inches, about four meters), and then wrap the hemp rope on the outer layer. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it in arrowroot cloth. Dry a layer and wrap a layer until you cut it with a knife, and the mallet makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack, so it is qualified. Then go to its head and tail, truncated to about six zhang. The front is equipped with a stainless steel lance, and the rear is a red copper lance. Constantly adjusted, the qualified standard is to use a hemp rope to hang at the tail of the lance two feet, the whole Zhangba horse lance can be in mid-air like a weighing rod at both ends without falling. In this way, the military commander can ride on the horse, so that he can keep the tip of the lance forward without the slightest effort. The resulting lance is light, tough, and strong. Generals can charge with horsepower, or swing them in melee combat. It's just that the whole lance takes three years, and the success rate is only 40%, so the cost is surprisingly high. Therefore, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the horse lance has always been a symbol of the generals from the family.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, many of the Tang Dynasty's powerful family gate valves were in power and led the army, and many of the Tang Dynasty's gate valves had a very long lineage and could be traced back to the Han Dynasty, such as Xingyang Zheng's gate valve was derived from Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhaojun Li, Qinghe Boling Cui, Fan Yang Lu, Taiyuan Wang and other five major gate valve families in the Central Plains. Longxi Li valve can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the lance, a powerful but expensive weapon, can only be equipped by a few nobles, while ordinary literati nobles and bureaucrats wear gorgeous swords to show their status. Only the nobles who needed to lead the troops in battle needed cavalry weapons with actual combat, so the combination of the lance and the generals from the noble family became its symbol.
Cao Cao, who was born in a family of eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once said, "I hold this lance, break the yellow scarf, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, collect Yuan Shao, go deep into Saibei, go straight to Liaodong, and crisscross the world, quite worthy of the ambition of a husband." "Many famous generals in history, especially the famous generals from the families of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, are basically masters of the lance.
Guns, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, were not official cavalry weapons, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, generals rode and fought either lances or spears. When the gun was obtained in the Song Dynasty of the fifth dynasty, it slowly appeared in the battlefield with the withdrawal of the lance.
The lance evolved from a spear, but the value of the two was very different.
The lance of the horse lance is a composite wooden pole, which is made of thin poles soaked in oil and dried and then bonded with fish foam glue. Then the hemp rope is wound horizontally, and the lance is cut into the lever to make the transverse force stressed, and then painted with lacquer and wrapped in kudzu cloth to become an integral lance. And in the design of the lance, the design principle of the lance, first consider the piercing and armor piercing, the blade of the horse lance is an obvious armor-piercing edge, ordinary fish scale chain mail, iron circle armor, Mingguang armor, under the armor-piercing blade, can hit through the heart. In this kind of violent collision in which the heavy iron cavalry equipped with armor in the north and south is broken with one blow and is either killed or injured, this kind of horse lance with armor-piercing characteristics is an inevitable product.
Spears are mostly made of hard rod logs, but this primitive wood rod, due to the natural growth direction, can not be fully expressed in the stress of multiple directions at the same time, so the ancient Chinese weapon master invented the composite rod. In terms of physical structure, the bonding of multiple uniform rods and the transverse winding and bundling of rope bars can be explained from the perspective of structural mechanics, which can increase the force capacity in different directions more than the natural force direction of any original wood.
The materials used to make a horse lance are enough to make thirty of the best Zhemu strong bows, and the success rate of the horse lance is only forty percent, and the materials used for a horse lance are as high as seventy-five Zhemu bows. It takes three years to make a Zhemu bow, which is worth 5,000 yuan, and when converted, a horse lance is worth at least 370 yuan.
A lance of 370,000 yuan is just the most ordinary horse lance. If it is made by a famous artist, it is more precious, often more than ten times that of an ordinary lance, and a lance is worth a hundred gold, and a thousand gold. For a general, it is expected to have a good war horse, but it is an unattainable dream to have a horse lance produced by a famous artist or just an ordinary horse lance.
Feng Liang's horse lance is a famous product, worth 100 gold, equivalent to 800,000 copper coins. Such a precious horse lance, a descendant of the Bohai Feng clan, was just one of the more precious gifts he received when he was ten years old.
Riding on the horse, Feng Liang proudly looked at everyone's envy of the horse lance in his hand, and danced a few movements with a smile, "It's just a little boring to compare the fights, it's better to add some more colors." The horse lance in the hands of this son is made by Master Yuwenxin, a master of lance, and is worth 100 gold. As long as Li Saburo can defeat me, then this kozi will be sent to you. ”
Everyone present exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, and the horse lance produced by a famous teacher worth 800,000 yuan actually became a lottery head, which made all those who dreamed of having a horse lance eager to replace Li Jing immediately in order to take down the horse lance.
"I won the horse lance and it belongs to me, okay, I am short of a horse lance to take advantage of, so what are you waiting for, let's start!" Li Jing faced Feng Liang's arrogance and did not have the slightest fear.
"Wait!" Feng Liang stretched out his hand and shook it: "If you win, this horse lance will naturally belong to you." But what if you lose? ”
Lose? Although Li Jing had not officially fought with Feng Liang, he had also seen Lin Wei snatch Feng Liang's lance empty-handed, and put Feng Liang down as soon as he closed it. Although he thought that he definitely didn't have Lin Wei's skills, he wasn't worried that he would lose to Feng Liang. "If I lose, it's all up to you!"
"Good!" When Feng Liang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is what you said, in front of so many people, it is estimated that you will not regret it." If this son wins you, he doesn't want you to have anything else, so he wants you to have a full set of equipment, a set of mountain armor, a jade sword, a rhino horn bow, a war horse and a horizontal knife, these things can also be worth a few points, although they can't be equal to this lance, but as long as you are willing to strip off your equipment and clothes after losing, and go around the school field naked, then it will be considered offset, how. ”
Li Jing flattened the horizontal end of the spear and sneered: "Yes, but if you lose, then you also have to go around the field naked, can you dare to fight!" ”
"Hahaha!" Feng Liang didn't think that he would lose to a villager like Li Jing, Tian Shelang, who started practicing riding when he was young, and said with a smile at the moment: "Okay, my son will answer you, don't talk nonsense, take out as much ability as you want!" Drive! ”
