Chapter 65: The Ring Head Knife

Qin Cheng picked up Ran Min, and after breakfast, he rushed to the county seat, at this time there were no horses, and the two relied entirely on their feet, and walked for half a day before arriving at the barracks.

The guards of the barracks saw that it was the hussar captain who had returned, and hurriedly went in to report, while Qin Cheng and Ran Min entered the barracks unhurriedly.

didn't take a few steps, and saw Li Guang walking out under the support of Ji Zhu and others, Li Guang saw Qin Cheng coming back safely, and smiled happily, "Qin Lang, you are finally back, where have you been in the past few days, but you are not in a hurry to wait!" How's it going, are you alright? ”

Qin Cheng gave a military salute to Li Guang, and said with a smile: "That day, the subordinates went to chase the two men who slipped through the net, and accidentally went deep into the mountains and forests, although they killed the two people, they also lost their way, and then when they fought the black bear, they were not very injured by the black bear, and they were injured in the mountains for a few days, and only ran out of the mountains and forests after the injuries were healed, but fortunately the three brothers of the Ran family rescued each other, so that they could come back safely and soundly, but let everyone remember." ”

"It's okay, you're not in the army these days, and the general has to sit in person, but fortunately, you have already made arrangements before the cavalry recruit training should be done, and I won't feel tired when I do it, and now that you're back, I'm relieved!" Li Guang patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder, and when he saw Ran Min behind Qin Cheng, he asked, "This strong man is the one who saved you?" ”

"I've seen General Lee!" Ran Min hugged his fists.

"This is Ran Min, the youngest of the three Ran brothers, I saw that he was extraordinary, especially with a good bow and arrow, so I brought him back and let him serve in the army." Qincheng Road.

"Since he is a person that Qin Lang values, he must be able to do a good job." Li Guang glanced at Ran Min twice, quite appreciative, "My Han is in need of a talent like Ran Lang to defend the country and kill the Huns, since Ran Lang has entered the barracks, he must be down-to-earth and follow General Qin to work hard, General Qin is an outstanding general in my barracks, young people want to see the wise and wise!" Li Teamzheng, you can take him to naturalization! ”

"No!" Li Hu walked out.

"Ran Min must remember the general's teachings today!" Ran Min hugged his fists again, his eyes were hot.

"You go to citizenship with Team Li first, and I'll arrange a place for you later." Qin Cheng said to Ran Min.

"Everything is up to the general."

"Come, Qin Lang, tell Ben how you came over these days." Li Guang pulled Qin Cheng into the military tent, "Oh, by the way, there are still some affairs here, I was about to discuss with you." ”

After entering the military tent, all the generals who should have sat down, everyone greeted each other for a while, and Li Guang talked to Qin Cheng about business, "A few days ago, His Majesty has sent someone to send the first batch of cavalry armaments, including thousands of good military horses, and some other ordnance, there is nothing else to say, only that there are five hundred long knives among them, called ring head knives, not ordinary long knives, not only the appearance is a little different, but also extremely sharp, the general long knives collide with it, if the strength is great, it will be broken in an instant, such sharp weapons, Ben will be unheard of before. Qin Lang came here today, just to see and understand! ”

Qin Cheng's spirit was shocked, and the good things in his heart really came, so he got up and said, "Where is the ring head knife that the general said?" The subordinates want to see and see! ”

"Li Kang, you go and get a handful." Li Guang instructed Li Dadao beside him.

"General, since it is a good knife, where is enough to see, why don't I wait and go to the armory, take a good look, and take a look at the other ordnance that His Majesty has allocated by the way." Qincheng Road.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

When he arrived at the armory, the ring-headed knife was placed in the most conspicuous position, a full five hundred ring-headed knives of all colors, neatly arranged, or quite visually impactful, Qin Cheng stepped forward to check a circle, and his hand stroked the ring-head knife one by one, as if touching a woman, with a strong heat in his eyes, among all the people present, at this time, I am afraid that only Qin Cheng can imagine what kind of improvement this ring-headed knife will bring to the combat power of the Han cavalry.

Although the Huns are very skilled, but the long knife used is just cast iron, its hardness is not at the same level as the ring head knife, the two collide, the ring head knife can easily cut off the long knife of the Huns, in this era, the ring head knife is worthy of the name of the iron like clay artifact! Of course, as for the middle and late period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, why the cavalry of the Han army was often defeated by the Xiongnu after being equipped with "advanced" weapons such as ring-headed knives and sweat and bloody horses, we have to find the reason from the leading generals at that time. In the early stage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Wei Qinghuo Qubing and others defeated the Xiongnu and drove the Huns to the Western Regions, they did not completely eliminate the Huns, especially in the middle and late stages of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army lost more than the Huns in the war, and the border threat of the Huns to the Han Dynasty was not completely lifted, and even in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the two sides had to resume the policy of peace again, although there are many reasons in history to exonerate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but this is for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who devoted his life to fighting the Huns. Huge irony undoubtedly! After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had to fight with the Huns from time to time!

After Qincheng crossed to this era, he thought about completely solving the border threat of the Huns to the Central Plains, and to completely solve this problem, there is only one way, that is, to completely eliminate them and assimilate them. He is extremely aware of this, so he has never thought of the idea of being gentle to these naturally robber peoples, either assimilating or exterminating, so as to protect the Central Plains civilization!

At this time, when Qin Cheng saw these five hundred ring-headed swords, he seemed to have seen the scene of the Han cavalry galloping through the desert, and saw the glory of leading his troops to destroy the Huns. Although five hundred ring-headed knives are nothing, as long as they are used well, this is an absolute sharp knife, which can exert ten times and a hundred times the terrifying power, and besides, there will be a lot of "advanced" armaments of the Han Dynasty in the future.

Qin Cheng suddenly pulled out a ring-headed knife, the cold light flashed, the knife aura was compelling, and he looked at this unsheathed ring-head knife, even Qin Cheng, who had seen a lot of Tang knives and Swiss army knives in later generations, couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!" ”

Li Guang saw that Qin Cheng was so interested in the ring head knife, so he asked people to bring an ordinary long knife, walked in front of Qin Cheng and stood three steps away, raised the knife, and motioned to Qin Cheng, "Come, try the blade of this ring head knife!" ”

Qin Cheng nodded, and the ring head knife and the long knife in Li Guang's hand collided head-on, only to hear a crisp sound, and the long knife in Li Guang's hand broke in response!

Li Guang laughed a few times, "How about it, Qin Lang, now you know that what Ben Jiang said is true, right?" This ring of the first knife is really sharp, if we equip our Han cavalry on a large scale, why can't we destroy the Huns? ”

"What the general said is that this ring sword is indeed a rare weapon, it seems that His Majesty is indeed very supportive of my development of cavalry in the upper valley, so if I can't wait to make some achievements, I'm sorry for Your Majesty's high hopes!" Qin Cheng put away the knife and said.

Coming out of the armory, Li Guang talked to Qin Cheng about the equipment that Liu Che transported this time, and then turned to the training of cavalry recruits in the barracks, "The 1,500 cavalry new battalion sergeants selected this time have already started basic training, considering that many of them have different mastery of cavalry skills before, these days we have to divide these sergeants into several parts and train them separately, so that the outstanding cavalry recruits can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one, and the Hun Zuoxian King suffered a big loss last time, Ben feared that he would go south for revenge. Over the years, the general has also dealt with King Zuo Xian a lot, he is not a master who can suffer, this time he will not give up, even if Yi Zhixian wants to restrict him, he can only let him not send troops. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the border counties of our Han army are not afraid of his Hun cavalry sending troops in a big way, but their small troops attack, come quickly, go fast, is the most irritating place, and in this regard, in addition to strengthening vigilance and sending people into the fort in time, our Han army really has no better way! ”

"My subordinates also have the idea of training the new cavalry battalion sergeants separately, so my subordinates will start to do this in the next few days, and strive to achieve results as soon as possible." Qin Cheng said seriously, "If you want to deal with the harassment of the small group of Xiongnu cavalry, there are two ways for your subordinates. ”

"What's the way, you can tell me!"

"This first method is also a once and for all method, that is, to send a large army into the territory of the Huns, severely damage the Huns, so that they do not dare to go south and graze horses, although this method is good, but it must wait for our Han cavalry to form a large-scale elite combat effectiveness before it can be done." Qin Cheng said slowly, "This second method, although it is also deep into the territory of the Xiongnu, but it is to attack his Xiongnu tribe with a small group of elite cavalry, and use his human way to return the body of his people, so that these Huns are tired of defense and have no time to look south, which is also the strategy that I can adopt in a short period of time in Shanggu." ”

Li Guang pondered for a while and said, "The method is a good way, and Ben will agree." It's just that although your second method is good, but if you do this, you are afraid that it will anger the Huns, and if you provoke them to go south to the valley, with the current military strength of our military camp, I am afraid that it will not be enough to resist, and then it will be troublesome. ”

"No, it won't." Qin Cheng said firmly, "The Huns either don't go south, if they want to go south, they must have a big war and plunder, which is not easy for the Huns to launch, it must be prepared for a long time, and once the Huns reach the time to launch this large-scale invasion, even if I can't wait to attack and disturb, they will also go south." ”

Li Guang lowered his head and thought about it, nodded and said: "Qin Lang is right, it is true, since this is the case, then we will use the second method as a plan to train an elite small group of cavalry that can run long distances, and now five hundred ring-headed knives are just used!" ”
