Chapter 9: The Golden Hammer of the Drumming Urn

This night, Luo Feng and Qin Qiong chatted until midnight, and the conversation seemed to be very speculative. Although the two old cousins had never met before, they felt very close when they chatted, especially Qin Qiong found that although his little cousin was very young, he had a country boy who was different from Luo Xiaoqi and Luo Xiaojiu, he talked extraordinarily and had good opinions on many things.

He attributed it to Luo Feng's natural intelligence, or because he had been personally taught by his aunt since he was a child, and he had learned to read and write, so he was not as good as ordinary countrymen, so he liked this cousin more and more.

This chat, until almost dawn before sleeping.

Morning.

Luo Feng felt a little cold on his body, opened his eyes and woke up, and found that Qin Qiong had already gotten up, but several fellow villagers in Nanshan Village were still asleep.

Lifting the thin quilt on his body and rubbing his face, he also got up and got out of bed.

Pushing open the door, the cold air outside the house hits.

In the fog and cold wind of the early morning, his cousin Qin Qiong was already practicing martial arts there.

Qin Qiong was holding a pair of maces, each move and style was very powerful, and the mist had even been practiced on the top of his head.

"Xiao Wu is awake?"

"Second brother got up so early to practice martial arts?"

"Summer practice is dog dog and winter practice is thirty-nine, and those who practice martial arts cannot be wasted for a day. I'm also used to it, and I wake up on my own as soon as the morning dawns. ”

"Second brother, this trick is really good-looking." Luo Feng doesn't understand martial arts, but he can also see that Qin Qiong's moves and styles are very good.

"My method is a family tradition, I practiced the sword at the age of three, practiced the gong at the age of five, drew the bow at the age of seven, rode a horse at the age of nine, and began to learn the lance ········ at the age of twelve." Speaking of martial arts, Qin Qiong is very confident.

Qin Qiongzu was an official in the Northern Dynasty for several generations, although it was mainly civilian, but since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world has been turbulent, especially in the north, there are frequent wars, and the men from the family are also both civil and military, especially the children of the wealthy families with good backgrounds, almost all of them can ride and shoot well, go out to ride a horse, and carry a knife with them.

"Little Five, have you ever learned martial arts?" Qin Qiong asked.

Luo Feng shook his head.

His father was just a blacksmith in the countryside of Zhangqiu, and his family had been blacksmithing for generations, and he didn't know why he was able to marry a woman from the Qin family in Licheng back then, but his father was indeed just an ordinary blacksmith before. In his memory, Blacksmith Luo didn't know much martial arts, but he had a lot of strength.

Luo Feng learned to strike iron when he was a child, and he didn't learn any martial arts, but he did have a lot of strength.

Qin Qiong handed a hammer to Luo Feng, "Let me see how you are?" ”

The wedge is a blunt weapon, which is generally configured for cavalry in the army, and this blunt weapon is generally designed to break the armor of the enemy's cavalry. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the cavalry has been heavily armoured, such as the famous armor and cavalry equipment, that is, people and horses are wearing armor, sometimes even more than one layer of armor, and the general sword is difficult to hurt.

At this time, the use of blunt instruments such as maces, whips, and hammers to strike is often more effective than knives and arrows. Instead of penetrating, blunt weapons shock the enemy's viscera.

However, this kind of blunt instrument also has high requirements for the messenger, and generally speaking, it is powerful. Because the average sword also weighs two or three catties, while blunt instruments such as whips and hammers are heavier, often weighing four or five catties. Fighting with a blunt weapon weighing four or five pounds with one hand is not something that everyone can do.

The gold mace is heavy, this is a tile-faced gold gong, the surface is golden, and the inside is made of fine copper, four-edged shape, this kind of mace is very lethal, not only is it powerful, but also his four-sided edges have a strong ability to break armor.

The mace is four feet long, the body is knotless, the end of the mace is not sharp, the face is square, there are grooves, and it can kill the enemy through the armor.

I thought that it would be difficult for him to grasp such a heavy soldier, but when he got it in his hand, Luo Feng felt that it was not too heavy, and he felt that it was not even as hard as the big hammer he held when he helped his father strike iron before.

Blacksmith apprentices start with a sledgehammer, the bigger and heavier the hammer held by the junior apprentice, the smaller the hammer is held by the master, and it is said that the small hammer goes to the heart, and the sledgehammer goes to the body.

The master is commanded with a small hammer, and the apprentice lifts a sledgehammer to forge, and the perennial hammer forging can be practiced into brute force.

In the past, Luo Feng's hammer was much heavier than this, although his hammer was held with both hands, but now he really didn't feel how difficult this copper hammer was.

He waved a few times at random, and danced a few sword moves, not from anyone, but with the ones he watched in later martial arts films, but he also looked a little similar.

Such a relaxed appearance surprised Qin Qiong, each of his pairs had four and a half catties, and a pair of catties together was nine catties.

"Born with divine power, good!"

As he spoke, Qin Qiong attacked with another blow, and Luo Feng hurriedly raised his guard to block.

You come and go, and there is a fight between the bells and the bells.

After a while, Luo Feng was already struggling to support the left and right, but Qin Qiong was still calm, he was actually just testing his cousin's strength and reaction, and he didn't really use his strength.

"Yes, my cousin has indeed never learned martial arts, but this strength is very great, this golden mace is wielded in your hand for a long time but there is no problem, and your reaction is actually very agile, but unfortunately you missed the good age to learn martial arts, if you start elementary school, with your natural divine power, in fact, your ability must be far beyond me."

"Where, my brute strength is actually practiced by beating iron with my father when I was a child."

"Then you're a good horse weapon." Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"What weapon?"

"Hammer."

"What?"

"I said you're fit with a hammer."

Luo Feng thought that Qin Qiong was joking with him at first, but seeing him so serious, he realized that he was not joking.

Cavalry did have hammers, but like hammers, they were actually only spare weapons for cavalry, and were usually used in hand-to-hand combat or on horseback.

Compared with the hammer, the hammer actually needs more strength, because the whip is also similar to the sword, but it is heavier than the sword, but the hammer is the center of gravity forward, very forward, resulting in it is difficult to go back and forth.

And because the center of gravity is forward, it takes a lot of force to use the hammer.

Although there are all kinds of hammers used by normal cavalrymen, such as six-sided hammers, eight-petal hammers, meteor hammers, gold-breaking hammers, etc., they generally have a common characteristic, that is, the handle is short, and the hammer is generally between two and three feet, and it will not be as long as four or five feet like a whip.

And although the hammer is heavy, it is not too heavy, mainly three or four catties.

Some generals with great strength may use heavier hammers, but generally it is impossible to exceed six or seven catties, and even the vast majority will not exceed four or five catties.

Even if it is a hammer of four or five catties, in fact, few people can really use it, after all, this kind of hammer is a weapon, not for fitness.

"You have great strength, I see that you use this golden mace very easily, I think you can use a hammer, or even use a hammer of five to six catties, sometimes great strength is also a talent and advantage, as the so-called one force down ten will, a hammer can also break ten thousand enemies."

Hearing Qin Qiong say that, Luo Feng was a little moved, maybe he could practice hammer when he had time.

"I'll go back and find a trick for you to make a hammer, you can practice it well when you have time, if you are successful, after you are twenty-one years old, I will find a way to recommend you to join him as a soldier, and you will have a good background in the future."
