Hearing the other party say this, Li Mengda was interested and wanted to ask, but he realized that he really lacked understanding of the Franco machine and the mercenaries of this era, and after thinking about it, he asked an inexplicable question and asked:

"What weapon did you use in the past?"

Dungrass was also stunned, but the next action was even more strange, stretched out his hand and pointed behind Li Meng, and said hesitantly:

"The villain used to use that!"

Li Meng looked back in amazement, but saw that the guards behind him had already opened the boxes, and one of the guards lightly took out a long-handled weapon from the box.

The guards sighed and said in amazement:

"I didn't expect it to be a set of armor and weapons, this thing is shiny, it's really nice to take home as an ornament."

There were big lanterns inside and outside the house, and the light was enough, Li Meng could see clearly that what those hands were holding was a long-handled weapon about eight feet, which seemed to be a spear, but in addition to the spear head, there was an axe the size of a fan under the tip of the spear, and on the other side of the axe blade was a protruding curved hook.

"Bring the weapon!"

Li Meng shouted here, and several guards over there reversed the handle of the weapon and handed it over carefully, but Li Meng noticed that there was also a blunt thorn at the end of the weapon. However, the guards obviously did not harm his mind.

In his hand, the axe of Li Mengxian's weapon should weigh about three catties, but the overall weight is not much heavier than his own spear, and of course the length is much shorter. Li Meng waved it in his hand, but he could feel the benefits of this weapon, which could stab and slash.

But for Li Meng, who has been trained in modern bayonets, he knows that stabbing is the simplest and most effective method, and the action of chopping requires more training and action time, but the existence of weapons in this era always has his reasons. Li Meng didn't show anything in his expression, just smiled and asked:

"What's the name of this weapon? Will you use it? ”

Always a docile Philip. Dunglas when he saw the weapon. There was finally something different in his eyes, and his waist was unconsciously straightened. He replied very solemnly:

"Master, this weapon is ......," he muttered in his native language, "in the Ming dialect, it should be called an axe gun." When the villain was in the Franco, he relied on this axe and gun to earn food and clothing, so he would naturally use it. ”

Several guards standing behind Li Meng were unpacking the nearest box, and when they heard the word "axe gun", they couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"What kind of axe and gun, isn't it the Xuanhua axe, it's not like I haven't seen it in the martial arts hall."

His whispered voice was clearly heard by everyone present. The leader of the guards reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, and immediately did not dare to continue speaking.

The so-called "axe gun" is "halberd" in modern translation. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, through embroidery and comedy, everyone's understanding of the halberd was the kind of weapon of "Fang Tian Painting Halberd", this kind of "Xuanhua Axe" was not considered a "halberd", so Dunglas was completely based on his own understanding to make up a word.

This misunderstanding led to Philip in the future. The description in Dunglass's biography has caused a lot of controversy, such as this paragraph:

"Philip. Dunglas, a Western-Western Franc man....... is a good ambassador of Xuanhua axe, and has the courage of ten thousand people......"

Philip at this time. Dunglas was still quietly explaining the purpose of the axe, and said:

"Sir, this axe can be used as a long weapon on the battlefield and can also be used in close combat. At that time, the Swiss infantry relied on axes and guns to create glory in the European big 6. ”

Speaking of which, Philip. Dunglas smiled to himself, he said that Switzerland was in Spanish, and Li Meng couldn't tell which country it was, and Philip felt that the adult in front of him was curious at best. I won't delve into it. However, Li Meng continued to ask:

"How is a long weapon compared to a spear?"

"Back to the old man's words. One-on-one, the same trained spearmen cannot defeat the axemen, after all, the axemen are more mobile and have more diverse ways of fighting.

As soon as he said this, several guards behind Li Meng were immediately angry, they almost had a superstitious attitude towards the spear, in Shandong, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion fought large and small thieves, relying on this spear, defeated many enemies, and even faced the cavalry.

First of all, this ruined rogue foreign devil actually said that the spear is not as good as the axe and gun, and he tolerated it, looking at Li Meng's mouth with a smile on his lips, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he had the courage to open his mouth and grab Bai Dao:

"What do foreign devils know, the spear array of our Jiaozhou battalion, how do you know that it is powerful, don't brag about it here."

Dunglas, who had been submissive from the beginning, did not agree on this issue, but he did not argue either, and smiled without making a sound. Li Meng saw that there was something else in his smile, and he didn't say anything, just shook his head and said:

"Tomorrow you will compete, who is right, will you know?"

Seeing Li Meng's attitude softened, Dunglas couldn't help but plead boldly:

"Master, please be merciful, let the villain go back once tonight, in less than two hours, the little one must be rushed back, there is indeed an emergency."

Li Meng didn't say anything, waved his hand to stop the reprimand of the head of the guard behind him, and turned to look at the gifts that Xu Xiaochu was about to give, maybe the head of the arsenal Xu thought that what he gave himself were all gadgets, just to decorate the room with ornaments, and the martial artists were more interested in this kind of thing.

A complete set of knight armor, supported by a bracket as a human figure, a big sword, an axe gun, are all attached weapons, and I don't know if it was given to Eunuch Xu by the Western merchant, these things are indeed unique in the home, after all, they are Western-style utensils.

But for Li Meng, the significance of this set of things is not just a simple decoration, but it has broadened Li Meng's ideas on weapons, and from this point of view, five hundred taels of gold is not complained at all.

The guards put that suit up, and there was something wrong with it, Philip. With a slight hint from Dunglass, it was soon done.

This set of armor basically covers all the parts of the body, and I don't know the ring arm iron armor, cotton armor, and chain mail, which are composed of many small components, all of which are forged from large pieces of metal surface, so it should be easier to build than those three types of armor, and the specific ones should be taken back for Guo Dong to see, after all, that is a professional blacksmith.

Li Meng looked at the armor and was fascinated, and Dunglas, who was standing on the side, hesitated to speak, and the content was still asking to go back, just after saying a few words, he was blocked back by Li Meng, Li Meng smiled and asked rhetorically:

"You take the food back, there must be someone waiting for you at home, right? Since I'm waiting for you, and I'm in such a hurry, but you can only take this food once, and you may not go back tomorrow, you don't want to come back if you go like this, right? ”

Li Mengyi asked a few questions in a row, quite detoured, if it weren't for the foreigner's proficiency in Chinese, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to keep up with the train of thought, after asking, the foreigner reacted quickly, lowered his head very weakly, pondered, took a step back and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, seeing his movements, Li Mengyi waved his hand and said:

"You are a foreigner who is not very useful, you don't have to think about it, who do you want to see, this official will go with you tonight and talk on the way." At present, this world is not only a country in the Ming Dynasty, nor is it just a powerful country in the Central Empire, and knowing more about the outside world and outside knowledge has many benefits for oneself, so Dunglas is a slave all night, and he is cringing and spitting when he speaks, but there is still a lot of information that makes Li Meng feel excited, Li Meng doesn't even want to go over this night, he wants to know more things.

It's really not too late, according to last night's calculations, those officers in the barracks are afraid that they haven't gone out to have fun at this time, and Li Meng is in the mansion of Eunuch Liu, and his subordinates are all his half masters, so naturally no one will say anything if he wants to go out at night.

More than a dozen guards were ready, and a few officers from the Praetorian Guard, as well as the subordinates of the town guard, came out in a mighty manner.

Li Meng rode on the horse, and Dunglas was leading the horse in front, so many people were eyeing each other, and the foreigner didn't dare to make any other moves, so he could only lead the way in front with a bitter face, and he couldn't be idle along the way, and the adult on the horse always kept asking questions.

For Dunglas, these were the first questions he had been asked since he came to this magical country, and they brought back many memories for him, many words that he didn't know how to express.

Along the way, I don't know what the foreigners who led the horses thought, and a lot of things unfolded in Li Meng's mind, at this time, the European battles, the infantry battles, most of the killings were done with muskets and artillery, the spearmen formed a phalanx to provide cover for the musketeers, and there was no such metaphor as "moving cities".

Dunglas was a Francophone mercenary who served the Francophone in the fight to suppress the independence of the Netherlands, but for some reason he was unwilling to continue the fight and sailed to the East.

Let's talk about walking, and we will arrive at the destination of Dungrass, which is different from those *** bright and laughter places on the road, but it is quiet and abnormal, and it is dark and you can't see anything.
