Chapter Seventy-Three: Modao Battalion

"Really? Let's go, let's see what Old Man Wu has done. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Ping said, looking at Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Lin Chong, who were watching the soldiers training in the distance, and shouted: "Go, accompany me to the Ordnance Supervision to have a look." ”

Liu Ping led a group of generals straight to the Ordnance Prison, and when he saw Wu Blacksmith, he smiled and said, "Old Wu, what's the matter?" Is that thing made? ”

When Blacksmith Wu saw Liu Ping coming, he saluted and said respectfully: "General, please look." So saying, he asked a blacksmith to bring strange blades, more than seven feet long, like a short horselance, but the upper part was a broad-edged knife four feet long and a half wide, and it was a two-sided blade, and the bottom was an iron handle the thickness of an egg three feet long, and the blade exuded a penetrating cold light, and everyone was very strange, what was this.

Liu Ping asked, "This is what you said about Modao?" ”

"Yes, General, please see." Saying that, Blacksmith Wu handed the Mo knife in his hand to Liu Ping, and as soon as Liu Ping took it, he said secretly, this thing is so heavy, it is more than forty catties. Sure enough, it is heavy enough, and the average Song Army's blade and long knife weigh more than ten catties. This Mo knife weighed more than twice as much as an ordinary long knife.

Liu Ping shook his hands and asked, "How powerful is it?" ”

"The general can let people try it." Blacksmith Wu said.

"Let's go, let's try outside." Liu Ping and the others walked out of the ordnance prison, and when they arrived at the martial arts arena, Liu Ping looked at everyone: "Who will try?" ”

"I would like to give it a try." Niu Gao arched his hand.

Liu Ping smiled and handed the Mo knife in his hand to Niu Gao.

Niu Gao took the Mo knife and said loudly: "This thing really has weight." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to a thigh-thick pig iron pillar in the martial arts arena. His legs sank, he raised his Mo knife high, and with a loud shout, he slashed towards the iron pillar.

There was a loud sound of gold and iron, like a thunderbolt. The thick pig iron pillar was cut off by Niu Gao, and at this moment Niu Gao was holding a Mo knife in his hand, like a strong demon god. The crowd exclaimed.

"This bull barbarian has so much strength, this is rare in the world!"

"Hey! I think this Mo knife is really powerful, if it is really on the battlefield, it can really be split in half with people and horses. ”

"Good! Good! Liu Ping applauded loudly with satisfaction.

"What does the general think?" Blacksmith Wu said with a smile.

"That's amazing! ~ If you can use this kind of blade to restrain the golden cavalry, it is really powerful. The golden man who can definitely fight loses his armor. It's hard work, Wu is old. Liu Ping said sincerely.

"Thank you, General, for the compliment!" Blacksmith Wu smiled, a satisfied smile on his face. It seems that these seven or eight days of work have not been in vain.

Liu Ping is also extremely satisfied in his heart, this Mo knife is really a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry, the ancient cavalry is the most powerful army in ancient times, the two armies attack and kill, the speed of maneuver and flexibility, strong horsepower, just like a tank, and the Mo knife is an anti-tank gun!

In an instant, Liu Ping made up his mind, equip, equip in large quantities, and must form an independent Modao army. At this moment, the blacksmith Wu beside Liu Ping arched his hand at Liu Ping and said, "General, the old man has personally improved the infantry armor used by our army. You can take a look. ”

Liu Ping's eyes lit up and said, "Really? Look. ”

The infantry armor is the heaviest and thickest armor in the infantry of the Song army. The Song Dynasty Buren Armor is composed of 1,825 nail leaves in a row, with a total weight of 29 kilograms, covering the vital parts of the body. When the spearmen line up to restrain the cavalry, the soldiers wearing the infantry armor can resist under the incomparably strong horsepower without being cut and knocked away by the enemy, but the armor is sometimes very easy to break the iron cable, resulting in the separation of the upper body and the lower body of the infantry armor, and the inconvenience of movement, the battle saint enemy can not move forward quickly when pursuing, and when the defeat is retreated, it is not possible to sneak away quickly.

While speaking, Blacksmith Wu sent someone to the Ordnance Supervisor to get the newly modified infantry armor. Liu Ping looked at it and exclaimed in his heart, isn't this the heavy armor of Western knights? It was extremely heavy in the hand, but it was wrapped in iron armor from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. The face is an iron-faced helmet painted with the eyes of a fierce beast, leaving only a pair of eyes, and the position of the mouth and nose, and the whole armor is really armed to the teeth. Liu Ping ordered a strong sergeant to put it on, picked up the Mo knife, and a fierce murderous aura came to him. The crowd watching was fascinated. This is a real battlefield killing machine that is both offensive and defensive.

Liu Ping thought it was very good, so he ordered a large number of Mo knives to be produced. gave Lao Wu a month to produce 200 sets of Mo knives and Buren armor, if the iron tools were not enough, he sent people to buy them, and if it was not enough, he returned all the captured weapons to the furnace, re-turned them into molten iron, and cast them into Mo knives and Buren armor. If there are not enough manpower, they can recruit people, and more than 300 blacksmiths and hundreds of craftsmen and apprentices in the entire ordnance supervision have worked hard night and day, and they have finally been completed.

Liu Ping personally searched for strong soldiers in the Yongding army. A total of 300 tall and strong soldiers were selected to form a new branch of the army, the Modao Battalion, which was unified and deployed by Lin Chong first. Liu Ping and a group of henchmen personally formulated a training plan for this group of future Mo knife fighters, put on the armor of the step people, and each of them had a brand new Mo knife. The weight of the whole body reaches 80 pounds, and he gets up early and runs 30 miles cross-country, whether he eats or sleeps, he is not allowed to take it off, and each person wields a knife tens of thousands of times a day. Only the simplest chopping moves are taught. There were no fancy and superfluous movements, and each person had a large bow and shot five thousand arrows. After a month of devil training, all the Modao sergeants have become like walking corpses, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, they are constantly training, but Liu Ping selects soldiers with strong bodies and tenacious personalities, even if it is such inhumane and cruel training, no one is left behind.

Lin Chong was also wearing a step armor, holding a Mo knife in his hand, and training with the sergeants. For a whole month, the most common thing to hear in the entire martial arts arena was the sound of slashing and slashing.

On the martial arts field, more than 200 Mo Dao soldiers formed a neat phalanx, holding Mo Dao motionless, like a statue.

Lin Chong roared loudly: "Raise your sword!" Chop!! ”

"Roar!! More than 200 Mo Dao sergeants set up a neat phalanx and stepped forward in unison to slash.

A loud sound shook the mountains and sounded neatly.

"Above the battle array, you have no way out! Only forward. Cut with a knife, don't care about the situation around you, you have your own robe to take care of, you only need to raise your knife to chop! Do you understand? Lin Chong shouted with red eyes.

"Understood!"

"Kill!"

After a whole month of brutal training, the entire Modao Formation became more and more neat.

Liu Ping looked at the neat and fierce Mo Dao array in front of him, and felt relieved in his heart, and muttered: "I really don't know what this killing machine-like monster looks like on the battlefield, I'm really looking forward to it." ”

Liu Ping stood beside the camp under the scorching sun and watched the sergeants perform, sweat dripping down his forehead, and Yang Sanduo beside him handed a towel to Liu Ping and said, "General, wipe it." ”

Liu Ping took the towel and wiped his sweat, let out a long breath and said lightly: "Is there any news over there?" ”

Yang Sanduo said respectfully: "General, Lord Nake sent someone to pass the news that the batch of private salt escorted by the Mingjiao has been successfully sold. On this trip, we earned 100,000 taels. ”

"Oh, that's a lot. It seems that Deng Yuanjue's old thing didn't lie to us. Liu Ping said with a smile. It seems that the problem of the fiscal deficit can be solved. For more than a month, he made Mo knives, rushed to make armor, and bought military horses for the cavalry battalion, and his old bottom was about to be hollowed out. It seems that these thousands of troops are really not easy to feed.

When Liu Pingzheng sighed to himself, he rode over from a distance, got off the horse and stumbled over. An anxious face.

"Nake, I'm not in the government office to handle business, why did I come here, is there something wrong?" Liu Ping asked with a frown.

"General, something happened. The second batch of private salt that we just rhymed was robbed. ”

"Who! What people! Eat the leopard's guts, dare to rob Lao Tzu's things!! Liu Ping said hideously, blocking people's money, like killing parents, this is worth it, Liu Ping asked angrily at the moment.

"I heard from the soldiers who fled back that it was a large group of soldiers who intercepted the smuggled salt, and they went to Zhuozhou, and they should be Guo Yaoshi's people." Nako said.

"Guo Laogou! I haven't gone looking for him yet, and he's delivered to the door himself. There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for, since you are tired of living and can't wait to find death, then so-and-so will fulfill you! Liu Ping said with a ruthless face.

"Drums! Inform all the generals that the big tent in the army is deliberating! Liu Ping dropped a sentence and went straight to the Chinese army camp.

"Knock Knock !!" After a heart-shattering sound of war drums, the generals entered the tent of the Chinese army one after another.

"Senior brother, I don't know what the general's promotion is?" Yue Fei looked at Lin Chong and asked.

"I don't know, maybe there is something important to announce, a certain has been forcibly training the Mo Dao Army recently, and he hardly pays much attention to other things." Lin Chong replied.

"I think it's going to be a war." Han Shizhong said.

"Brother Han, how do you know?" Niu Gao asked with a puzzled expression.

"I have a good nose, I smell it." Han Shizhong said proudly.

"Commander Han, is it possible that your nose is a dog's nose, you can smell anything." Niu Gao ha. All the generals laughed along.

"Niu Man, if you are talking nonsense, pay attention to the next exercise, I will practice you alone!" Han Shizhong laughed wildly. This time Niu Gao didn't dare to say a word, he was a little afraid of this Han general who had a high amount of martial arts and alcohol, at the beginning Han Shizhong first came to the Yongding Army, Niu Gao was arranged under Han Shizhong, Niu Wei was not convinced, he thought that the newcomer actually came to his head, and he was not angry, so he found fault with Han Shizhong to compete, the army has always been the strong man for the king, the stronger the more he can win the respect of others, so he didn't know the depth of Niu Gao was Han Shizhong fell more than 30 times in a row, and was stabbed ten times on the horse. Niu Gao, who was beaten and couldn't get up, proposed to fight again, so, in their free time, the two found a place where no one was to fight, but they didn't expect that this Han Shizhong was still very good at drinking, and Niu Gao was completely drunk and unconscious, but Han Shizhong was just blushing and nothing serious. So Niu Gao completely convinced this Han Shangguan.

At this time, Liu Ping also opened the felt curtain and strode in. A group of generals saluted one after another.

"I've seen the general!!" The generals said in unison.

"Excuse me. Get up! Liu Ping walked a few steps to sit down in front of the handsome case, and said with a cold face: "The goods of our Yongding Army were plundered by Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng Army!" ”
