Li Mingyu didn't know that his theory, which everyone in later generations knew, shocked his master Li Xuanba so much that he had the idea that he was a demon. The insight beyond a thousand years made him stand on the shoulders of giants, and the impact on Li Xuanba, an ancient, was really turbulent. He was still happy in his heart, and finally found a suitable explanation and fulfilled the past. At that moment, Li Mingyu opened his mouth and asked, "Master, then I still can't talk about this method of forging my body to the outside world?" Why is that? ”

Li Xuanba was reminded by him, and finally came back to his senses, and said cautiously, "This method of forging the body is a secret that has not been passed down by the soldiers of the past dynasties, the tiger and wolf garrison army that Qin Shi Huang relied on to unify the six countries, the Yulin orphans of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who drove the Xiongnu to the north, the Beifu army of the Xie clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Beibei Cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty, etc., were all invincible elites in the world at that time. Why can these elites be able to defeat a hundred? Be invincible? All rely on its unique method of forging and training soldiers. It's a pity that many of the secret methods have been too long ago to verify. Why do you and I want you not to spread the word? If there is chaos today, if it spreads out, let those anti-kings win, then everyone will train a team of elite soldiers, and under the endless battle, I am afraid that the world will be chaotic for dozens or hundreds of years. ”

Li Mingyu heard what the master said so solemnly, but he didn't think it was right and said, "This is just a primary method, I still think of a better one, and when the time comes, I will dedicate it to the second uncle to help him train a hundred elite soldiers and unify the world!" ”

But I thought in my heart, the master said a large number of ancient elites, that Qin Shi Huang's garrison can help him sweep the world, the unification of the six countries is indeed not to be underestimated, look at the terracotta warriors unearthed more than a thousand years later, the military appearance is indeed solemn, majestic, can imagine the style of the first emperor's garrison.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Yulin orphans were able to follow Wei Qinghuo to the desert grassland and kill the Xiongnu to "lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; Losing my Yanzhi Mountain, making my wife colorless", naturally it is also the world's first-class elite, but what are the latter two? I've never heard of it, can it be compared to your second brother Li Shimin's upcoming "Xuanjia Jingqi"?

Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is already elite, coupled with my training method, isn't it invincible in the world?

Li Xuanba listened to Mingyu's words, and said strangely, "Oh? Do you want to dedicate it to your second uncle? You really have faith in your second uncle. Although my father now occupies Shanxi, Chang'an is immediately at my fingertips, but in terms of power alone, Li Mi in Wagang, Dou Jiande in Shandong, Du Fuwei in Huainan, Xiao Quan in Baling, and Yang Guang, Emperor of Sui in Jiangdu, are not less powerful than our Li family. Besides, it's also my father who wants to unify the world, and there is still the boss above, which round will get your second uncle! ”

Mingyu said in his heart, I don't have confidence in Tian Khan Li Shimin, who else will I have confidence in? Under the light of Li Shimin, those beam-jumping clowns couldn't be around for long.

Is Yang Guang still there? Ran from Luoyang to Jiangdu? But I'm going to give Yu Wenhua and strangle to death soon? Although Li Mingyu knows the general trend of the world, it is not easy to tell the master clearly, do you tell him that your Li family will definitely unify the world, and your second brother finally killed your eldest brother and younger brother, and forced your father to abdicate the throne, and finally became the emperor? If you say this, you will probably be strangled to death by the master.

Li Mingyu thought about it, and in desperation, he had to pretend to be naïve and said, "Because the second uncle is the master, your own brother, who let us be together?" If I don't help him, who else can I help? As for your eldest brother, he bullied you, and even killed my unmet wife and unborn junior brother. Hum! When I grow up, our master and apprentice will join forces to beat him! Beat to death! ”

Li Xuanba couldn't help but smile when he heard him say such childish words, and he also dispelled the previous doubts about demons, no matter how demonic and genius the apprentice is, isn't he also the one who grew up with his own eyes, after all, he is the heir of his own son and disciple.

However, the apprentice was able to say this, which moved his heart, and he thought of his lover and unborn child, and his heart was gloomy. Li Xuanba touched Mingyu's head, sighed, and said, "Good boy......", then shook his head, left Mingyu and the children to continue practicing, turned around and left lonely.

For several days, Li Xuanba was silent, and he didn't like to talk to questions, and he always sat alone, which made Li Mingyu very worried, and he was careful when talking and walking with Xiao Hei, lest he make the master even more unhappy.

But fortunately, as time passed, Li Xuanba came out of his grief and loss.

On this day, Li Xuanba stopped Mingyu and said to him, "Before I went out, I promised you that I would teach you to practice the lance when I came back, and now I see that your basic skills are solid, and it should be time." ”

After that, he took Mingyu to the courtyard, opened the big urn before, and took out the soaked bamboo strips from the tung oil.

The bamboo strips have been repeatedly soaked in tung oil for nearly a year, and they have long been soaked in oil, and their whole body is golden. Li Xuanba put the bamboo strips in the shade to dry, and said to Mingyu, "If you want to learn the horse lance well, you must first understand its structure, you are young now, my horse lance is not suitable for you to use, what I did before is also to help you build a horse lance according to your height, and practice as soon as possible." ”

Only then did Li Mingyu understand that the master had soaked the bamboo strips for this at that time, and asked curiously, "Do you want to soak for so long?" Wouldn't it take years to build a lance? ”

Li Xuanba replied: "It takes three years to fight a suitable horse lance. ”

Mingyu listened for so long, and said angrily, "Then don't I have to wait another two years to have a suitable horse lance for me?" ”

Xuan Ba shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the killing weapons used in the battlefield battle, and the ones you use in practice can streamline the process." The main purpose of this mallet I have created for you is to give you an idea of its construction, and of how it is used, so that you can swing it like an arm. ”

Let's talk about it, point to those bamboo strips, "A horse lance, the most important is divided into two parts, lance, lance." First of all, this lance must be light, tough and strong. I used to soak tung oil with bamboo strips for nearly a year, also to make the bamboo strips no longer deformed and cracked, and full of toughness. Generally, the material of the horse lance is better than the wood, and the most important thing is bamboo. At present, I could not find suitable wood in the mountains, so I had to use bamboo instead. Normally, after the bamboo strips have been soaked in tung oil, they need to be cooled and air-dried for several months, but now you use them for practice, and it will be almost the same for ten days and half a month. ”

Li Mingyu nodded and said, "After the air drying, the bamboo strips can be used as a lance after tying them up?" ”

"It's not enough, a qualified lance, you need to wait for the bamboo strips to dry thoroughly, glue them together into a thick handful, the length of the user's height is one and a half times, and the outer layer is wrapped tightly with hemp rope. Then it is coated with raw lacquer, and the outermost layer is wrapped with kudzu cloth, and then coated with raw lacquer on the kudzu cloth, and it is dried layer by layer until it is cut with a knife, and the lance makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack. If you stab the enemy with a lance, it is all by relying on the unloading force of this lance, and you can bend like a bow, replay as before, and combine rigidity and softness, which is considered qualified. To build a suitable lance, out of ten, only forty percent can be used in the end, and the materials consumed can be worth ten hard bows! Li Xuanba explained.

"So complicated?" After listening to his master's explanation, Li Mingyu recalled that he had watched a movie about ancient European knights in his previous life, in which the cavalry spear used by the knight was also a sharp weapon for horse warfare charge, three meters long, and good at armor piercing. However, European riding guns are mostly made of brittle and easily broken hardwood, in order to dissolve the impact, the cost is low, it is a disposable product, and it is a disposable product, which is thrown away when it is used up, and then other weapons are pulled out to fight. Compared with the two, the riding spear and the ancient Chinese horse lance are not good or bad, but the direction of development is different. One is inexpensive and discarded when used up, and one is finely crafted and expensive and can be inherited and preserved for hundreds of years.

Mingyu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and sighed, "It's so cumbersome, and the cost is so high, sure enough, only the disciples of Jiangmen can afford it." ”

Li Xuanba smiled and said, "You can do this?" It's still early, after the lance is built, it is necessary to install the lance in front and the lance in the back. Constantly adjust the weight, the standard is to use a hemp rope to hang two feet at the tail of the lance, the whole horse lance can be in mid-air like a weighing rod at both ends without falling. In this way, riding on a horse, it is possible to keep the tip of the lance forward without the slightest effort. ”

Then Li Xuanba paused, and said, "If it's just like this, then the horse lance is not how expensive it is, and it is the lance that really costs effort." The lance is about two feet long, and can be used not only to stab, but also to slash. Because the main purpose of the horse lance is to break the armor, it must be made of refined iron to ensure that it is strong and durable, and it is not easy to break. Just like my Hundred Refined Treasure Knife, Hundred Refined Iron is more expensive than gold, and it requires a highly skilled blacksmith to forge it. A good horse lance is worth hundreds of yuan, which is more rare than a treasure knife. ”

After Li Mingyu listened to the master's explanation, it suddenly dawned on him that what really affected the cost of the horse lance was the lance, which was more than two feet long, and it needed to be built with a hundred refining iron, which was equivalent to installing a hundred refining treasure knife on the horse lance pole, which was already cumbersome, and the price was naturally not low.

However, I thought that in ten days and half a month, I would be able to have a "low-profile" version of the horse lance, and I would start to learn to use the king of cavalry weapons in the cold weapon era, and I was also looking forward to it.

After half a month, Li Xuanba simplified the manufacturing process of the horse lance and created a "low-profile" horse lance for Mingyu, which was about 6 and a half feet long, just one and a half times his height. Since there was no suitable lance for him, he had to use the knife given by the eldest grandson Wuji before, which was not very easy to use as Li Mingyu grew taller, and now it is just used here. An iron counterweight was tied to the back of the mallet.

Although it looks simple, it is also an expedient measure, after all, Li Mingyu is still in the period of growth and development, and his height has grown in a few months. After it was built without consuming time and effort, he grew taller and never used it.
