Fanwu, Zhao Jun Battalion, School Military Field.

Zhao Xuan was wearing a tight-sleeved short-sleeved suit, without armor, holding the gun upside down with one hand, behind his back, the tip of the gun was hanging down, and a tail of the gun was leaking out from his left shoulder. At a distance of more than ten meters in front of Zhao Xuan, Li Yinghong was wearing a well-fitting leather armor, holding two swords, one long and one short, in each hand, pointing at Zhao Xuan with a long sword, and said, "General Zhao, I'm coming." ”

Zhao Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Come on." ”

Li Yinghong's figure suddenly moved forward, and the two swords turned into two cold rays of light one after the other, and slashed towards Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan's body did not move, the spear suddenly turned from behind his back to the front, his right hand still held the middle end of the gun, and with the rotation of his wrist, "Dangdang" made two sounds, blocking Li Yinghong's two swords.

And Li Yinghong's figure immediately changed to a straight and horizontal movement, turned to the left, and the long sword in his right hand slashed at Zhao Xuan's waist, but Zhao Xuan's body just turned slightly in place, or held the gun with his right hand, and picked it diagonally with the tail of the gun, and blocked Li Yinghong's sword.

At this time, Li Yinghong had turned behind Zhao Xuan, his movements were as fast as lightning, and the two swords danced up and down, slashing and slashing at Zhao Xuan's back, and attacking in a row, and Zhao Xuan didn't even turn his body this time, he directly put the spear behind him, moved up and down, covered the high and blocked the bottom, and blocked Li Yinghong's sword momentum one by one.

Li Yinghong surrounded Zhao Xuan, back and forth, left and right, up and down quickly, as fast as a strong wind, as fast as lightning, and also brought out more than a dozen afterimages, slashing and stabbing at Zhao Xuan, and more than ten swords. And Zhao Xuan always stood still in place, just changing the spear with his left and right hands, covering the left and right frames, blocking up and down, guarding the wind and rain, and taking all Li Yinghong's offensive.

At this moment, Li Yinghong rose from behind Zhao Xuan, flew over Zhao Xuan's head, and the two swords slashed down from the top of Zhao Xuan's head. At this time, although Zhao Xuan was still holding a gun with one hand, he did not parry and cover it again, but raised his gun and stabbed at Li Yinghong in the air.

The power of this shot immediately defused Li Yinghong's offensive, Li Yinghong was forced to return to the sword to defend himself, and borrowed the strength of Zhao Xuan's spear, with the spear as the axis, turned twice in a row, and then fell from Zhao Xuan's body.

After Li Yinghong landed, Zhao Xuan's spear returned to its original state, nodded, and said, "Yinghong, this time you can force me to fight back, it seems that you have made great progress." ”

Li Yinghong put the long sword on his shoulder and said, "It's still thanks to General Zhao's teaching, but now I still can't force General Zhao to move a step." ”

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Take your time, you are still very young, there is a lot of room for growth in the future, with your current age, you are already very strong." ”

At this time, Li Mu said with a smile on the side: "Yinghong, how old are you, you have only practiced swords for a few years, so you should honestly continue to accept General Zhao's teachings." ”

Li Yinghong said: "Father, can I go to the battlefield now?" ”

A few people were talking, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, a war horse galloped from the side of the school field, the person on horseback was the plateau, at this time the four hooves of the war horse rose and fell sharply, and was running at full speed, and at this time the hands of the plateau danced a spear, only relying on his legs to stabilize the figure on the horse's back, so that it was standing still.

Zhao Xuan glanced at him and said, "It's only been a few days, his riding skills have improved a lot, and now he can actually dance a gun and a stick on horseback." ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "Zhao Xuan, didn't you see it?" His harness is very different from what we use. It was a harness of his own design. ”

At this time, the plateau has lived in Li Mu's camp for more than ten days, because of the excellent performance in the Keju field, the plateau was quickly recognized by the Zhao soldiers in the Chinese military camp, in addition to the daily training, everyone played football together every day, Li Yinghong, Du Yi and others also pestered the plateau, learning the technique of Keju, so only after more than ten days, the plateau became familiar with many soldiers.

Since there was a plateau, the Chinese military camp and other military camps have never lost again, and even if Gao Yuan did not play, but after he taught him the playing skills and tactics, he could still be proud of the whole army. Later, not only the soldiers of the Chinese military battalion, but even the soldiers of the other four battalions also came to the plateau to learn the technique of juju, and the plateau would not be stingy, and taught them everything, plus the plateau itself did not have a shelf, and the soldiers were treated equally, so the entire Zhao army camp almost had a good image of the plateau.

However, Gao Yuan did not just play football in the Zhao army camp, but from the second day, he also trained himself in the past way, after all, no matter what path he chooses in the future, it is very necessary to improve his strength. Of course, Gao Yuan did not train with the soldiers of the Zhao army, but formulated his current training plan according to his past training situation and projects. Li Muzhi had no objection to this, and also instructed Du Yi to follow the will of the plateau, and try his best to provide convenience. And the military drills every morning are also watched by the plateau.

Due to the level of craftsmanship of this era, it is estimated that even the most primitive thermal weapons could not be manufactured, so in addition to the training of the body, the main thing is the combat ability to use cold weapons, archery, horseback riding, and fighting and archery on horseback.

In the past, Gao Yuan also learned hand-to-hand grappling and sanda fighting, and also practiced knife skills in cold weapons, including archery, although hand-to-hand grappling and sanda fighting techniques are not of much use on large-scale battlefields, but they can also play a significant role in some cases.

Knife skills are very useful in this era, and the knife skills learned by Gao Yuan are all refined by scientific research, simple and direct, effective and practical. But although the saber on the plateau's hand is sharp, it is too short after all, and the battle between several people is okay, but if it is on a large-scale battlefield, it is a little insufficient. But there were no sword-like weapons in this era, and Li Mu gave him a captured Qin sword, which could be used improvised. In addition, Li Mu also gave Gao Yuan a war horse and asked him to practice riding and archery.

What Li Mu gave to Gao Yuan was a bronze sword, about eighty-five centimeters in length, the sword shape was willow leaf-shaped, and the sword body was divided into eight edges. Although in the early Warring States period, iron weapons have begun to appear, but still mainly bronze weapons, and the Qin State is stronger than the six eastern countries in terms of bronze casting technology, the length of the Qin sword is generally more than eighty centimeters, the longest can be close to one meter, and the sword of the six eastern countries is generally between sixty and seventy centimeters, in addition, the Qin sword is longer, the hilt part of the sword is relatively long, can reach seventeen to twenty centimeters, the soldier can attack with both hands of the sword, greatly increasing the attack performance, so it also has a lot of advantages on the battlefield.

Bronze is actually a copper-tin alloy, so the key to casting a sword is how much tin is added to the copper during smelting. There is less tin, and the sword is too soft; There is a lot of tin, and the sword is hard, but it is easy to break. The copper-tin ratio of Qin Jian makes the combination of hardness and toughness just right. The length, hardness and toughness of the Qin sword have reached an almost perfect combination, and it has become the final peak of the bronze sword casting process.

But the movement of the knife and the sword is still different after all, and although the craftsmanship of the Qin sword has reached the peak of bronze, the hardness is still insufficient, and it can only be based on stabbing, and the chopping can only be used as an auxiliary, so the plateau has to slowly ponder the path of swordsmanship, or simply let the craftsmen in the army create a long knife-style weapon for themselves.

In addition, although the plateau has practiced archery before, the difference between the bow of this era and the bow used by the plateau in the past is quite large, and the past experience is basically not too useful. However, Gao Yuan has undergone strict military training and is agile, so he can get started quickly, and in only ten days, Gao Yuan's spear skills and swordsmanship have reached excellent standards, and there are few opponents in the entire Zhao army camp. But the cavalry and archery skills are only average.

In order to improve his riding skills in a short period of time, Takahara drew drawings the next day, and asked the craftsmen in the barracks to make a complete set of horse furniture for himself, including double-high bridge saddles, horseshoes, and horseshoes. In fact, the saddle and horse pedal were quickly done, but it took two or three days to nail the horseshoe for the war horse, and two blacksmiths were kicked and injured by the war horse, and the result has only been completed today.

Gao Yuan immediately equipped his horse with newly made horse furniture, and then went on a test ride. In this way, the feeling of the past can be similar, and the plateau can also boldly gallop on horseback, and use only his legs to control his body, leaving his hands free to use weapons.

After a while, Gao Yuan ran to the front of everyone, grabbed the reins, and jumped off the horse, and Zhao Xuan and Li Yingqiong discovered that this set of horse furniture was indeed very different from the horse furniture commonly used among the countries now.

The first is that the saddle has a distinct concave shape, with two ends high and low in the middle, and on both sides of the saddle, two bronze sets are also hung.

In the past few days, Li Yinghong has become familiar with the plateau, and she is not very old, and she is still full of curiosity about new things, so she immediately ran to the horse side of the plateau and observed carefully. At the same time, his mouth was not idle, and he first patted Takahashi at the back of the saddle and said, "Do you do so much in the back, doesn't this affect the horse?" ”

Gao Yuan explained: "The back is made so high, although it will have a certain effect on the horse, but it can fix the person's body, so that the person can sit on the horse's back, and it can be fixed in the saddle and will not slide backwards." It's good for fighting on horseback! ”

Li Yinghong didn't react much to the explanation of the plateau, but Li Mu's eyes flashed with light, after all, his confusion about the horse club was much stronger than Li Yinghong's, so he also walked over quickly and looked at the new saddle carefully.

And Li Yinghong didn't pay attention to Li Mu's demeanor, he lifted a horse pedal again, looked at it, and said, "What is this thing for, stepping on it and getting on the horse?" Only the children of the nobles who didn't have this used this, and the soldiers didn't need this at all to get on their horses. And even if it's used to get on the horse, it's just one side, so why do two on one side? ”

Although the Chinese standard sense of the horse pedal appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, until the Tang Dynasty fully matured, but in the Warring States Period, there have been unilateral horse pedals made of holsters or ropes, the main role is to help some of the five bodies are not diligent, pampered noble children on the horse, and the real cavalry on the horse, there is no need to step on the horse pedal, is to support the horse's back with your hands, jump up with your legs, and jump directly on the horse's back. And even in the Tang and Song dynasties, the horse pedal had been fully developed and matured, but the cavalry at that time also jumped directly on the horse's back like this, not stepping on the horse and pedaling on the horse.
