There was no steel wire in the Ming Dynasty, and in fact, with the smelting technology at that time, it was impossible to manufacture high-strength steel wire. Therefore, the strings of plucked stringed instruments such as the pipa in ancient times were mostly made of sheep intestines, silk and horsetails.

Later research has proved that in ancient times, the toughness of the horsetail was the limit that could be reached at that time.

But Sun Yuan is a modern person, and when he was in the Bohai Institute, he had a whim and asked Master Cui to make a steel folding hand crossbow for senior officers to defend themselves.

Since General Sun has an order, Master Cui can only ponder hard. The steel crossbow is easy to handle, but it is nothing more than repeatedly forging to make high-tenacity steel. The key is that the steel string is not easy to do, and there is no possibility of making this thing without the premise of modern wire drawing industry.

In the end, Master Cui and the others could only adopt the stupid method of grinding, grinding a small steel skewer little by little to the thickness of a hair, and then heat treating.

When the steel wire was made, and before it could be assembled, Sun Yuan stopped the experiment. It's too complicated to say that it's impossible to produce in large quantities, and it's really not as good as a handcuff.

As a result, this cross-era steel wire, which was made with great effort, could only lie in Sun Yuan's drawer.

One day, I saw Sun Yuan suddenly throw this wire to Chen Tieshan on a whim, saying that this thing can be carried on his body as a weapon------ isn't it true that spies in movies and television use this thing to kill people?

Liang Mancang had already been mentally prepared, and when he saw Yue Tuo suddenly sit up just now, he knew that he had reached the last moment: this was cheating the corpse.

He had already thought that he must guard Yue Tuo's Chinese army tent tonight and cut off internal and external news. Let the command center of the Jiannu army be completely paralyzed. But this guard stayed by Yue Tuo's side every step of the way, but it was very troublesome. Therefore, we have to find a way to behead him.

The problem is that this guy's martial arts are too strong, and he has a strong sense of vigilance, and he has been closely monitoring himself from beginning to end, and Kong Zhao has no chance to attack at all.

Yue Tuo suddenly deceived the corpse just now, the situation was really terrifying, even if he was vigilant, he would lose his mind at this moment, and it was an opportunity to do it himself.

It is said that it is easiest to directly pull out the waist knife on the waist of that guard and cut it down.

But the problem is that drawing a knife is one action, swinging a knife is another action, and cutting the knife has to add another action, which is too slow. This Jiannu can be Yue Tuo's personal guard, he must be a first-class warrior in the army, but he is afraid that before he can draw his sword, the Tartar has already knocked himself to the ground.

This risk, Liang Mancang can't take it.

So, he used steel wire.

This release strangled the neck of the Jiannu guard in an instant, and with another force, the steel wire was deeply embedded in the flesh, and blood burst out.

Seeing the protruding eyes of Jiannu, Liang Mancang was overjoyed: he succeeded!

But at this time, a strong surge came and hit him directly in the chest.

The intense pain hit in an instant, making Liang Mancang's eyes darken, and he almost fainted.

"Ahh This trick Liang Mancang passed by Chen Tieshan's professor when he left the Ningxiang Army on a mission, and he didn't know how many times he practiced when he carried people on his back in the Qing barracks in the past few days, and it had already become a conditioned reflex.

He let out an "ah" cry, endured the pain in his body, and suddenly turned around and carried the Jiannu on his back.

The movements were unusually smooth, and behind him, the tartar was as heavy as a mountain, and it was thrashing violently. The elbow still kept crunging and landed on his back.

"Puffy!"

Every time he hit it, he had to make Liang Mancang churn inside, and hot liquid gushed up from his throat.

"Ahh Liang Mancang's sudden launch made Kong Zhao completely stunned: "...... What are you doing...... Beam...... Liang ......"

The guard in front of him had been strangled by Liang Mancang and stuck out his tongue, and the blood from his neck was pouring down like a waterfall. His throat was full of gurgling sounds, but his eyes stared at Kong Zhao fiercely, as if to make him move quickly.

This bloody picture was like a nightmare that completely frightened Kong Zhao, and he couldn't even move a finger.

The Jiannu guards saw that Liang Mancang behind him was so fierce, and he couldn't let go of his hands when he turned his hand down. I felt unbearable pain in my neck, and I couldn't catch it in one breath. Suddenly panicked, and didn't care about elbowing Liang Mankuang again, so he stretched out his hands and used his fingers to pick the steel wire vigorously, but the thin steel wire was so tough that it kept pulling and cut into his fingers.

He kept kicking his feet on the ground, and he actually kicked on Yue Tuo's corpse.

"Click!" With a bang, Yue Tuo's backbone was broken, bent at ninety degrees, and looked extremely weird.

This terrible scene woke Kong Zhao up, he pulled out the knife on the guard's waist, stood tremblingly in front of Liang Mancang, and shouted sharply: "Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion!" But the knife in his hand was like a thousand pounds, and he couldn't fall down.

Liang Mancang suddenly spit out the blood in his mouth, and laughed without being surprised: "Brother, are you going to kill me?" Giggle, kill me, do you think you can live? Yue Tuo died, and he died after taking my medicine. To tell you the truth, I know how to treat fart, and the so-called prescription for smallpox is also lying to you. Hehe, you introduced me to Yue Tuo, fed me indiscriminately, and fed the dignified General Yangwu of Jianzhou to death, this crime is big...... Wow......"

Before he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood and continued to laugh: "Even if you kill me and save this Tartar, you won't survive." Hehe, Jiannu is a jackal, you naturally know it, why, still have illusions...... Whew......"

He gasped as he felt the wire in his hand begin to cut into the neck of the slave guard. Behind him, the enemy's struggle became more violent, and the blanket on the ground had been kicked up by his feet: "To tell you the truth, I, Liang Mancang, am the defense of the Ming Ningxiang Army, a serious officer of the Ming Dynasty." Kong Zhao, do it, kill this Tartar, I'll give you a credit. We...... We...... Whew...... We're sworn brothers, giggles, won't you help me? ”

"Ningxiang Army!" Kong Zhao shouted: "You are from the Ningxiang Army...... The Ming army with the black flag ...... I'm ......"

When the knife light in his hand fell to the ground, Kong Zhao squatted down, holding his head with his hands, and shouted hoarsely: "I don't know, I don't know, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, woo woo......"

He cried incessantly, cried incessantly, and his head curled up like a frightened little mouse.

I don't know how long it took, but a knife slapped him on the shoulder, waking Kong Zhao up from his collapse.

saw that Liang Mancang was already standing in front of him, holding a big knife in his hand.

And the Jiannu guard was already lying in a pool of blood, his face was bruised, and he dragged his long tongue, apparently too dead to die.

Kong Zhao: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”

Liang Mancang sat down, stabbed his body with a knife, and spitted: "How can I kill my sworn brother, I'm not a slave, I'm not so murderous...... It's useless, I have such a sworn brother as you, I don't have to call the robes in the army a joke! ”

After speaking, he laughed loudly: "Brother Kong, did you say?" ”

Kong Zhao heard Liang Mancang say that he would not kill himself, and his heart was a little calm: "Brother, brother, seeing the past feelings, spare me and let me out?" ”

"Let you go, hehe, how is that possible. Wait here, wait until dawn General Sun Yuan kills him, how to send it down, General Sun has his own advice. ”

Sun Yuan...... Sun Yuan is going to kill him? Kong Zhao was shocked.

"Yes, it will, it will!"

************************************************************

In the darkness of the night, the torches had formed a long dragon, winding and circling on the road in the distance.

The sun had come out of the day, and the snow on the ground had melted. The snow melted into the land, the roads were muddy, and with every step I took, my feet sank deep into the mud.

Walking on such a road is more tiring than usual.

The team had no head or tail, and all of them were panting with their mouths wide open.

A cavalryman led the war horse and muttered in a low voice: "Night attack, night attack again, why does the Tianxiong Army like night attack so much." The last battle of Huangcun was a night attack, and the battle of Botou Town was also a night attack, and I was really tired of killing myself. ”

No need to ask, this person must be the elite cavalry of the Nine Sides who has just joined the Ningxiang Army.

His complaint naturally fell word for word into the ears of a group of infantry who were marching beside him, and one of the infantry turned his head sideways and laughed quietly: "What can you do if you don't attack at night, our Ningxiang army used to be foot soldiers, if you fight head-to-head, if Jiannu is beaten away by them, you can't catch up." ”

The cavalryman smiled: "This is indeed the truth, it seems that your Ningxiang army really can't lack us." ”

Another infantry snorted coldly: "What are you and us, what, do you still want to go back?" ”

The cavalryman scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "What do you want to do when you go back, you used to be a soldier, when you encounter the enemy, you don't have to let people hold your breath, and you still have a good time in the Ningxiang army." ”

An infantryman: "Hehe, that's it, it's a comfortable life here, I can't even imagine how I would live if I left the army one day." ”

"By the way, it's just a bad road. Brother, you are a northerner, you are not used to this kind of road, let's go to Jiangnan, there are many such roads, and I don't feel tired. ”

"Whoever is talking, whoever is talking, shut up for me!" There are officers who drink low.

The cavalryman stuck out his tongue and couldn't help but add: "The Ningxiang Army is good at everything, but the rules are a little bigger." ”

"What are the rules of your four-legged people, and the rules of our infantry are great!"

……

At this moment, Sun Yuan was sitting on a stretcher, silently looking ahead.

He broke one left hand and two ribs, and could no longer walk like an ordinary soldier, so he could only march on a stretcher. In this battle, the whole army of Ningxiang Army was dispatched, leaving no behind. Of course, he could no longer lead the way in the previous war.

Liang Mancang's information had been delivered to him in the evening, and it was said that in order to obtain this information, two scouts had closed their eyes forever and had exhausted a war horse.

The information is very simple, just six words: Yue Tuo will die tonight!

The battle of Jinan finally came to the last moment.
