The coppersmith saw that Li Xu suddenly opened his mind and saw the free and easy way of the real celebrity, and his heart became more and more happy, and he scolded with a smile: "I can't, it's just that in this ice and snow, where can Lao Tzu go to get you a horse lance." It's not difficult to get started, and if you have a hundred ironclad heavy cavalry rushing with you, you don't need to be proficient to poke a hole in the enemy array. If you fight alone and don't learn well, I'm afraid people will die faster! ”

This sentence is common sense on the battlefield. The horse lance was about one foot and eight feet long, and was an ideal equipment for heavy cavalry to charge into battle. More than 100 cavalrymen in iron clothes and iron armor attacked the enemy's large array in a sharp formation, and even if the opponent had two or three thousand people, they might not be able to withstand the rush of the iron cavalry. But if the two sides are intertwined and fighting, if the use of the lance is not fine, it will be too long and tied hands and feet, and several small soldiers rush to the front, and one person and one knife will solve the wielder.

At present, the entire Su Si Department is the only one who will make good use of the lance. He had spent ten years of hard work on the lance, and naturally he would not let his opponent with a scimitar bully him. Li Xu is now learning from scratch, and holding a long lance on top of the battle formation is equivalent to stepping forward to die with his bare hands.

"If you don't learn to learn?" Li Xu hesitated, remembering the power of the captain that day. The long lance like a swimming dragon, and the majestic scolding, left a deep impression on the young man, and he couldn't help but want to imitate it.

"I'll teach you some basic techniques of using a lance, and I'll leave it for you to learn it slowly in the future. Now, in order for you to avenge your friends, it is more convenient to learn a scimitar! Seeing Li Xu's hesitation, the coppersmith suggested in a low voice.

Li Xu frowned slightly, none of the people who used the scimitar were from a regular background, this was a sentence that Xu Dayan had instilled in him. It's not that he thinks that the identity of the person who wields the knife is humble, but he is afraid that after refining the scimitar, he still doesn't have a blow from the lance on the battlefield.

"You're afraid that the scimitar can't fight the lance!" Seeing that Li Xu's eyes were still floating on the portrait, the coppersmith asked in a low voice.

"I'm a little scared!" Li Xu replied truthfully. The benefits of the coppersmith master are reflected here, in front of this person, he does not need to pretend.

"If you use a long lance and give Xu Dayan a scimitar, and the two sides fight, who wins?" The coppersmith shook his head and asked.

"Brother Xu wins!" Li Xu knows his own catties and pounds.

"If two generals meet, one holds the lance and the other holds the sword, who wins?" The coppersmith continued to ask.

Li Xu's eyes immediately flashed in front of him, and the heroic appearance of Luo Yi and Captain Bu was high-spirited. If these two play each other, the winner may not be so easy to distinguish. After thinking about it, he finally understood the deep meaning of the coppersmith's words, scratched his head, and replied with a smile: "Naturally, whoever learns well wins!" ”

"That's right, you can teach!" The coppersmith stretched out his finger and smashed Li Xu's head again, Li Xu dodged sideways, his movements were not slow, but he was hit by the coppersmith firmly.

"Don't run, if I really want to knock you, where can you hide!" The coppersmith laughed as he let go.

Li Xu instantly got a bit of his "true biography", picked up a copper basin and buckled it on his head, and replied as he walked, "So, why run away!" ”

The coppersmith Dale laughed and scolded Li Xu for being stupid, and at the same time picked out two scimitars from the weapons sent by others to the furnace, one was handed to Li Xu, and the other was held in his own hand. He passed on a few words of common sword singing in the army, and ordered him to practice with himself.

Li Xu was afraid of hurting the coppersmith, so he left three points of strength. As a result, he was kicked to the ground by the coppersmith before he finished his move.

"Big split like a tiger, is it like a sick cat like you?" The coppersmith pointed the tip of his knife at Li Xu's throat and sneered.

At this time, Li Xu understood that the gap between himself and the other party was too big, and he might not be able to get cheap if he tried his best. So don't dare to slack off, roll out, jump up and fight again. As soon as he came up this time, he exerted all his strength, opened and closed, and brought into full play the artistic conception of the first sentence of the song. The coppersmith nodded approvingly, took half a step forward, easily deflected Li Xu's blade, and slapped it on his waist.

"Drop your hand and wave sideways, that's it! But remember to use a blade! The coppersmith ignored Li Xu, who was staggered by the knife, and said loudly.

The sword momentum in the army has long been circulated among the people of the Great Sui, but it is a big split, horizontal swing, shun draw, sweep, provocation, oblique slash, block and straight stab eight actions, each action is accompanied by a corresponding formula. Li Xu followed the courtyard invited by the big branch of the clan to compare behind him, and he had also heard similar songs. But the same song recipe is used by different people, but there is a world of difference. The sword used by the Zhuangzhong Guardian looked very powerful, but it did not change much. And the knife made by the coppersmith is ruthless and tricky in addition to being light and elegant. makes people know how he wants to make a move, but he can't parry. (Note 6)

For a whole morning, Li Xu failed to learn half of the true essence of the coppersmith in the first big chopping action, but he was smashed and kicked by the coppersmith's knife and hit countless heels. Fortunately, he was born in a small family, and his skin is rough and thick. I didn't cry out in pain when I was beaten, and when I fell, I immediately got up and fought again, and I also won a few points of praise from the coppersmith.

After dawn, the coppersmith's wife got up to make milk tea, and the master and apprentice stopped training. After beating someone up in the morning, the coppersmith was in a happy mood and took the initiative to leave Li Xu at home for refreshments. After breakfast, he corrected a few basic postures in a targeted manner, and then immediately turned on the furnace to fight for the herdsmen, no longer caring about the life or death of the disciples.

Li Xu dragged his aching body back to the account, and then took Gan Luo to pretend to be a ghost among the warriors of various tribes. After the daily routine "performance" was over, he crawled back to his felt bag step by step. The weather had been good lately, and he did not dare to be lazy in his felt bag, and after a short rest, he stumbled onto his horse and began to refine his sword again.

It's strange to say, he usually dances wildly with a knife on a horse, with amazing momentum, but his movements are jerky and stiff, without any discipline. After being beaten by the coppersmith for a morning, he slashed the knife again, and the scimitar seemed to have a bit of life, moving flexibly as he wished, whether it was chopping or pumping, each movement could barely be connected, not as messy as before.

Note 1: Star iron, that is, iron meteorites scattered on the grassland. Before the industrial age, swords on the steppe were famous. Not because of the smelting technology of the steppe peoples, but because the ore itself is of good quality. At the same time, due to the problem of quantity, it is impossible to ensure the scale of production of weapons.

Note 2: Mongolian wild ass, commonly known as wild mule. At present, it only exists on the border of Inner and Outer Mongolia. The body is two meters long, about one and a half meters high, and weighs around 260 kilograms. The fur is dark brown, and the inner and upper parts of the limbs are grayish-white. It was saved from extinction because of its fast running speed and strong endurance.

Note 3, the Sui invaded Nanchen, and the civil and military forces along the river surrendered one after another. After the emperor Chen Shubao of the Southern Dynasty was captured, he suspected that Yang Jian had given him the title of official and asked for an official position many times. Chen Shubao's sister was named Mrs. Xuanhua by Yang Jian, and after Yang Jian's death, she was included in the harem by Yang Guang.

Note 4, the east bed is open. Seen in "The World Speaks New Words". Xu Taifu begged his son-in-law and sent his protégé to the Wang family to see each other, and the men of the Wang family were ready to spin, only Wang Xizhi was lying on the east bed with a frank stomach, as if he didn't hear it. When Mrs. Xuan heard about the return, she felt that Xi Zhi was chic, so she married her daughter to him.

Note 5, Chen Shushen, Chen Shubao's half-brother. One of the few people who did not know the practice of the battle of Sui and Nanchen. Defeated, killed.

Note 6: The Qi family's saber technique is referenced here.
