Chapter 12: Mo Dao

Speaking of cavalry, the Song Dynasty has nothing to praise, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is very bad, so bad that no one wants to use it. However, when it comes to infantry, the Song Dynasty has a lot of say and has implemented the strategy of "riding on foot" for decades, although it has not made the Song Dynasty stronger, but the infantry of the Song Dynasty is quite good.

Not to mention, the Conversion Army has been improved by Wu Ji, the training is very strict, and its combat effectiveness has been verified by the great war just past, and their strength is obvious, only 500 Song troops dared to fight with 5,000 Liao troops, and they also killed the Liao army.

In the minds of Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao, the Guixin Army is already the elite of the elite, and Wu Ji is not satisfied, which really surprised them.

"Commander Wu Du, I don't dare to agree with what you say, we have thunderbolts in our hands, are we still afraid of cavalry?" Qi Dabao took the lead in opposition.

"Yes!" Mrs. Zheng and Huangfu Song immediately agreed.

"Thunderbolts are powerful and lethal, but they are not omnipotent." Wu Ji knows very well that in this era of cold weapons, it is impossible to rely on thunderbolts alone, and the cooperation of many weapons is required, and if there is artillery, this problem will be much easier to solve. The problem is that the manufacture of artillery is too difficult, and the Wu military industry does not have the strength to manufacture artillery at present, so it can only rely on thunderbolts to support it.

"If the enemy charges with cavalry, regardless of casualties, you say, 'Although we have crossbows, bows and arrows, thunderbolts, and swords, can we kill them all?" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and asked loudly: "Impossible!" Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, and once the enemy's cavalry rushes closer, our infantry has nothing to do with slaughter. Therefore, our infantry must be completely changed, otherwise we will not be able to withstand the enemy's cavalry. ”

Cavalry fights infantry, which has a great advantage. If the cavalry rushes closer, what awaits the infantry is a massacre, which no one can deny.

It is precisely because the cavalry has a huge advantage over the infantry that although the Song Dynasty invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build the infantry and implement the strategy of "riding with foot", it still cannot change the disadvantage, and only gives the Liao State a share of the pressure.

Although the Converts Army was successful, if the Liao cavalry rushed closer, the Converts would still suffer a big loss. This time the Liao army invaded the territory, this was a siege battle, and its cavalry did not play at all. If it is a field battle, the Liao army concentrates cavalry to charge, not to mention a mere 500 converts to the faith army, even 5,000 return to the faith army, which is not enough for the Liao army to kill.

An army, if it can't fight in the field, can it still be called an army? Do you dare to call it elite?

"This ...... It seems to make sense! Mrs. Zheng, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao were shocked, stroking their foreheads, unable to speak.

They have been immersed in the joy of the great victory these days, and they have not thought about it.

"Commander Wu Du, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Zheng asked busily.

These words are exactly what Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao thought the same way, looking at Wu Ji, concentrating and calming, waiting for Wu Ji's answer.

"I was thinking that the spear should be replaced." Wu Ji furrowed his brows and pondered: "Although the spear is light and saves effort, it doesn't have much advantage in the face of cavalry. To deal with cavalry, you need heavy weapons, and it would be nice to have heavy weapons such as maces. However, although the mace is heavy and the striking force is large, it is still not enough to be used against cavalry, and it is better to use a knife, a very heavy one. ”

Regarding the change of infantry, Wu Ji really didn't think about it. When it comes to making weapons, Wu Ji has a few brushes, and when it comes to fighting, it's okay. However, when it comes to this kind of change, it is a little uncomfortable, after all, Wu Ji has been in the army for a short time, and this kind of thing requires a long time of thinking.

"Mo Dao!" Mrs. Zheng and Qi Dabao shouted at the same time: "Mo Dao, Mo Dao must work!" ”

"Mo Dao?" Wu Ji was stunned.

"The Mo knife is an infantry weapon used in the previous dynasty, weighing fifty catties, and it is specially used to deal with cavalry." As soon as Mrs. Zheng mentioned the Mo knife, his face was full of red light, and his spirit soared: "This Mo knife is the most important weapon in the previous dynasty. Commander Wu Du, think about it, there was a kind of infantry called Mo Dao Shou in the infantry of the previous dynasty, holding a fifty pound Mo knife, hundreds of thousands, thousands of people wielding Mo knives to slash and kill, how exciting it was. ”

"Hundreds, thousands? Tens of thousands? Wu Ji was stunned by what he said to Mrs. Zheng. Hundreds, thousands, thousands of Mo knife hands push, who can stop it?

"According to the history books, it is called like a wall!" Mrs. Zheng's voice was even higher, and she trembled a little: "Mo Dao hands rushed to kill, like a wall advancing, no matter whether there were people or horses in front, everything that stood in front of them turned into minced meat." ”

Those many Mo knife hands rushed to kill with Mo knives, regardless of whether you were in front of people or knives, infantry or cavalry, give you a knife, if there are still alive, it will become a strange thing, if it does not become minced meat, there will be no reason.

The fifty-pound Mo knife should be sixty pounds now, once it is chopped, how powerful is it, there is no need to think about it, no flesh and blood can resist it, who dares to take the edge?

Mrs. Zheng rubbed her hands together and said excitedly: "In the battle of Talas, the deputy general Li Siye made good use of the Mo knife, and he was all broken, who would dare to stop him?" ”

He didn't say much, but he said the terrible thing about the Mo knife, Wu Ji's eyes lit up, he just needed such a sharp weapon, if the Returning Army was equipped with such a sharp weapon, would the combat power of the Returning Army still need to be said? It will definitely improve a lot, with a thunderbolt, and then with a Mo knife, when you meet a god and kill a god, when you meet a Buddha and slaughter a Buddha, who dares to be an enemy?

"Although the Mo knife is good, it is too heavy, and it must have a war horse before it can be put into the battlefield." Wu Ji's vision is good, and he can see the shortcomings of Modao at a glance.

"That's right!" Mrs. Zheng tapped her hands lightly and praised it: "When the previous dynasty was at its peak, Ma Zheng succeeded and raised 700,000 horses, and this Mo knife could be put into the battlefield." However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the previous dynasty declined, the horse government was corrupted, and the number of war horses decreased sharply, and Modao could no longer appear on the battlefield. Until now, he has not appeared on the battlefield again. Such a sharp weapon is just a flash in the pan, which is really regrettable! ”

Mo knife is a luxury weapon in the era of cold weapons, although the cost is not small, the use conditions are harsh, but its power is obvious, the effect is remarkable. The Tang Dynasty had a large number of Mo knife hands, once the war started, the Mo knife was on the battlefield, who could be the enemy?

It's a pity that Modao didn't appear on the battlefield for a long time, after the Tang Dynasty, the number of war horses decreased, and the Tang Army, which was originally known for its fast action, basically became infantry, and its movement was slow, and Modao was even more unlikely to appear on the battlefield.

It's a great sound!

"Commander Wu, you don't want to use the Mo Knife, do you?" Qi Dabao was a little surprised.

"Hey, hey!" Wu Ji let out a smug laugh: "Aren't you just going to have a war horse?" We have more than 8,000 horses, and three of them are not a problem. Why not use such a sharp weapon? ”

Without a war horse, Mo Dao cannot appear on the battlefield. And the Converts Army, now there are a large number of war horses, what is so strange about putting the Mo knife back on the battlefield?

"Good! You wait, I'll go get the Mo knife! We also have a Mo knife in Qiyun Society! Qi Dabao jumped up violently, turned around and ran away.

At that time, the affairs of the Tang Dynasty were widely spread, and the Mo knife was not extinct, and there were many people who knew about it, and there were still some Mo knives in the collection.

"Great! As soon as I wanted to sleep, someone handed me a pillow! Wu Ji was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"Mo Dao!" Mrs. Zheng used the poet's tone to come up with an aria, her eyes lit up, and she was full of energy: "I have only seen records in the history books, but I have never seen Modao, and now I can finally open my eyes!" ”

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." Huangfu Song rubbed his hands excitedly.

It didn't take long to see Qi Dabao come back, carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and running, bang, very heavy, it can be seen how heavy the Mo knife is.

When he came closer, Qi Dabao put the Mo knife on the ground and raised his head proudly: "This is the Mo knife, you can't find a few in the north!" Our Qiyun Club not only has a collection of Mo knives, but also a set of knife tricks, and there are ways to stay up! ”

"In other words, as long as I want to train Mo Dao Hands, everything is ready-made!" When Wu Ji heard this, it was like hearing the sound of heavenly music, which was extremely wonderful.

Mo knife is the Tang Dynasty's trump card weapon, if you want to use Mo knife, you have to explore the knife technique of Mo knife, Mo knife hand strength boiling method, equivalent to starting from scratch. With this knife technique, this method of boiling strength, everything is ready-made, and it only needs training.

As for the use of the Mo knife, the method of the Mo knife's strength, Wu Ji did not dare to have the slightest doubt, and it was absolutely applicable. Because, the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are the best proof!

"Great! That's great! Mrs. Zheng and Huangfu Song also applauded.

Wu Ji temporarily suppressed his excitement and looked at the Mo knife, only to see that the Mo knife was more than one meter long, with a knife head, and the knife was shining, giving people a feeling of palpitations. This was built hundreds of years ago, and now, it is still so shiny, which shows how high the knife-making technology of the Tang Dynasty has reached.

Wu Ji took it in his hand, and his hand was so heavy that he almost fell to the ground. Wu Ji's body is only slightly stronger than that of a normal person, and it is really not easy to wield the Mo knife.

Huangfu Song took it in his hand, his wrist flicked, and the wind whirred, a strange knife was in his hand, like four taels of cotton: "Knife trick, show me!" ”

Qi Dabao handed the knife trick to Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song took it, opened it and browsed it for a while, and said with a smile: "There are not many tricks, but they are extremely applicable, especially suitable for the battlefield." And voila! ”

Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, he slashed hard, only to see a sword light like a training appear, like thunder and lightning, with shocking power, Wu Ji couldn't help but squint his eyes and took a step back.

Knowing that the yang knife was not coming at him, but looking at the sword light that rushed in, he felt that he was slashing himself, and he couldn't retreat.

There are also Zheng Tai and Qi Dabao who have this feeling, and the two of them retreated several steps in a row, their eyes narrowed into a slit, and they were amazed: "Amazing!" Terrible! Don't say that hundreds or thousands, thousands of people use Mo knives at the same time, one person uses it, it has such power, if it is rushed to kill on the battlefield, what will it be? ”

Huangfu Song made a Mo knife with one move, and the more he used it, the happier he became, and his mouth opened open: "Hehe, I have lived for decades, and now I know that this Mo knife is made for me!" Good knives! Good knives! ”

Turning his head, he looked at the recruits who were training, and a fox-like smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "These cubs are so strong, if they don't use the Mo knife, they will be tyrannical!" ”
