030: On the way
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there is still some truth in the old saying.
Qin Yue got the master's order, and relied on his quick wit, and finally got the official certificate of "Suppressing Bandit Inspection". Zhang Yongde was in a good mood, and he even approved ten war horses, as well as crossbows, leather armor, brand knives, simple knives, spears, and a number of military uniforms, which can be said to be very supportive.
Qin Yue originally thought that they could go quickly and comfortably, but before leaving, ten gray-haired veterans were arranged, the reason why these people were still in the army was because they were homeless and ready to die in the army, that miserable appearance, Qin Yue couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
Originally, there were only two mule carts in the army to pull the baggage, Qin Yue saw that the guy who could be a grandfather still walked hard, anyway, his master gave him a lot of private silver, so he simply bought three carts at his own expense, and purchased a lot of living materials, making up five cars, so that the veteran could ride comfortably.
However, after leaving Beijing, I found that these veterans were still quite useful, and they could come to drive, camp, and cook, which saved a lot of worries, and soon after leaving Beijing, they became an important force.
At noon on the third day, the convoy entered the Caozhou border, and Chen Scar asked Qin Yue to rest on the side of the road, but said that he was going to do a private business and would return in an hour at most.
In the afternoon, Chen Scar came back, the small burden he was carrying was gone, but the horse was followed by ten young men.
"They are all descendants of old brothers." Chen Scar said simply, and asked them to go to the car to change the equipment that had been prepared a long time ago.
Qin Yue was surprised: "It turns out that you have already made up your mind, and I am worried that there are too few guards and it is not safe." ”
"They are almost old enough, rather than being recruited by the government to serve as soldiers, it is better to take them with them to rest assured, and there will be no one to use in the land."
"Heh, I didn't expect you to think it so well."
Although these young men are thin, they are full of energy after putting on military uniforms and carrying a simple knife. When I asked the name, it was Liu Qiang, Song Qun, Wang Shan, and Zhang Tong...... The person is black and thin, and the name is also dirty.
At night, Chen Scar asked ten teenagers to line up, but he immediately began to train in line, and after dinner, he began to train again.
"On the battlefield, the most suitable is the simple knife, both hands to hold, the length is appropriate, strong and powerful, slashing and killing, whether it is horse fighting, or foot fighting, indoor or wild, not limited by the terrain, the most convenient."
After speaking, he first walked a few styles, but it was splitting, dragging, wiping, twisting and other actions, very concise and to the point, and when it was over, he made a gesture and a gesture, so that the boys could practice.
Jia Yin rose up, and also followed the comparison, anyway, his war knife is a little narrower than the Pu knife, and the handle is a little shorter.
Chen Scar also ignored it, and said: "Don't look at the simplicity, the simpler the more practical, the battlefield fight is not better than the battle of the rivers and lakes, just take care of the first six roads, and give the back two ways to your teammates." ”
Saying this, Jia Yin remembered that he had practiced the earliest card knife, but he hadn't practiced it for more than a month, because this knife technique, and the lazy monk taught, was far behind, and was said by Chen Scar, but there was a layer of window paper that was pierced.
At that moment, he took out a rattan card, took a ham knife in his hand, and set up a "tiger squat style", and after practicing one move and one style, he found many wonderful things that he didn't understand before, and couldn't help but smile.
Chen Scar saw it on the side and said: "Huzi, your knife is extremely stable, and when they finish learning the knife, how about you teach a brand knife?" ”
"Okay."
As soon as the ten teenagers heard that they had learned kung fu again, they all shouted in unison: "Uncle Xie Jia." ”
Qin Yue, who was watching from the side, squirted out a mouthful of water, and said with his nails: "Do you think he looks like an uncle?" It's almost the same to call me Brother Hu and call me Uncle Qin. ”
Chen Scar said coldly: "Regardless of relatives in the army, call Qin Yuhou." ”
"I said Chen Tou, you're too dull."
Chen Scar is not good at this, the whole person can't see him smiling, plus the terrible scar, it is intimidating at a glance, not to mention these young men, his words are simply holy decrees. Chen Scar said that they were not allowed to take a ride, and they didn't even have the idea of approaching the cart, saying that they would sleep, and they would sleep when they fell to the ground, and they didn't even want a blanket.
"Mountain children, it's hard."
Jia Yin remembered Bao Jiujin and Zhuang Henglai, and he still remembered Bao Jiujin's temporary roar, but he didn't take a look at the house for him. Chen Scarzi seemed to know his thoughts, and said: "They are from Xiangzhou, and I have asked someone to send the silver back, so I can only go to see it later." ”
“…… Well. ”
On the fourth watch the next morning, Chen Scar called up the teenagers and began to practice knives.
"It's too ruthless." Qin Yue narrowed his eyes.
"Jia Yin can't get along with the big tree like a bull every day, why don't you say it."
As soon as he said this, Qin Yue was embarrassed, and he also brought out the sword and began to practice. Several veterans actually woke up earlier, but they were all light-footed, and now they saw that everyone was up, fetching water and making fires to feed the horses.
Wait until the young people are sweating like water, take a shower, and make breakfast, and everyone eats before they go on the road.
In fact, according to Qin Yue's original intention, it was completely possible to find a guest house to stay, but Chen Scar had to come according to the requirements of wartime, he was a righteous official, so he could only listen to him.
Jia Yin began to talk a lot, he and these young men of the same age came very well, sometimes in order to speak conveniently, he didn't even ride a horse, and sat on the wheel to fart and chat with Zhang Tong and others, talk about his hometown, tell stories, talk about what he saw and heard, of course, the most topics still revolve around the war.
And fighting on horseback is the topic of most interest, and Jia Yin himself has never fought on horseback, so he has to consult Chen Scar.
"The most important thing in riding is equestrianism, and when the horse's limbs are as bright as your own feet, the skill of horse fighting is complete. In fact, today's horse warfare has been greatly discounted, and the Liao army is good at riding and shooting, and likes to swim around. If you really want to rush into battle, you will also throw a spear first and then slash with a knife, and win by oppression of scale and momentum.
And my Central Plains army has the skills of riding and fighting, but the horsepower is not healthy, so now I use more knives, and my set of simple knives contains the method of horse fighting, but unfortunately the real art of riding and fighting has been lost. ”
Jiayin asked, "Are you talking about a horse lance?" ”
"Yes, it is the horse lance, which is easy to learn and difficult to master, and the workmanship is too complicated, and the requirements for equestrianism are too high, so since Li Cunxiao, few people have used the horse lance......
Thinking that Wang Yanzhang had a skill, he had no horse lance to practice when he was a teenager, so he had to switch to an iron spear, and when there was a lance available, he couldn't change it, so that he was a master, only in front of the short army, and when he really met the master of the lance, his courage was three points timid. ”
Jia Yin was surprised: "That's the Iron Spear King, a hero who has left a name in history, and an old storyteller." ”
Chen Scar said with a smile: "What about leaving a name in history, and what about the Central Plains, he was afraid when he saw Charuqi, who was accustomed to using a long lance, and hid in the military formation, and was finally stabbed alive by Charuqi, so that he was ridiculed by Charucci when he died, saying that he was as timid as a mustard seed." ”
Seeing that Jia Yin didn't believe it, Chen Scar smiled and said: "In fact, anyone who encounters a master of the lance is afraid, as the so-called one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the lance is eight feet long......"
"Isn't the longer the dumber it gets?"
"The lance is different, although it is long, but it is light and flexible, a good lance is even three points lighter than a big gun, a really good lance, the shaft is not more than seven catties, and the elasticity is like a bow."
"So light?"
Chen Scar said: "But because it is long, the strength of the two arms is not 500 catties, and it can't be played." ”
As soon as Chen Scar said this, Jia Yin had an incomparable yearning for the long lance.
