Duan Xiliang was the main participant in last night's battle and the most powerful in force, and when he heard him speak, Li Yuanqing turned his head to look at him and motioned for him to continue.

Duan Xiliang saluted Li Yuanqing respectfully, and then said: "My lord, almost all of the weapons used by my Tartars are heavy weapons such as long knives, hammers, hooks and forks, and they have thick armor to protect themselves. And once the Tartars rush up, it will be very difficult to extinguish their power. We can only fill with human lives. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

The Tartars are all strong and strong, and they can give full play to the weapons and armor on their bodies, while the Ming army is uneven, long and short, and cannot form an overall combat force.

In history, the farming people fought against the nomads, and they have always been based on phalanxes and wholes, and the weapons are mostly long weapons with stronger lethality, such as the Yuejia army, and the weapons of ordinary soldiers are basically spears made of fine iron. Another example is the famous Spanish phalanx, which is also dominated by spears and integrity.

It's not that the spear is more damaging than the short knife, mainly on the battlefield, especially on a large-scale battlefield, the enemy who is stabbed by the spear is likely to be killed with one blow, but the short knife, the enemy is slashed with a knife, at most it is seriously injured, unless it is chopped to the vital point, otherwise, it is difficult to kill with one hit.

In terms of utility effects, it is clear that the spear is more damaging.

However, in a skirmish such as a city or a street, the short knife has the advantage of dexterity.

Although Li Yuanqing is a latecomer, he is not a military professional after all, even if he understands some fur, but more, he must be perfected through the actual battlefield.

Duan Xiliang is the most courageous and daring general under Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing also wants to hear how he judges the situation on the battlefield.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's encouraging gaze, Duan Xiliang said: "My lord, I heard the old man say that in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army had a weapon called the Mo Knife. In wartime, soldiers are heavily armoured, with only two eyes exposed. With flesh and blood, he will harden the enemy cavalry without falling behind at all. If our army builds such an army, it will be able to sweep through Houjin. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of course, Modao is awesome, and it can even be said to be the king of cold weapons. But since the Song Dynasty, this kind of killing weapon has long been lost.

Moreover, the Mo knife is extremely long, and it cannot be controlled by those who are not physically strong.

Some historical experts have done research that in the Tang Dynasty, the average height of Huaxia Erlang was about 1.8 meters, and in the Song Dynasty, it became 1.7 meters, and after the oppression of Meng Yuan, in the Ming Dynasty, the average height of men was only about 1.6 meters.

Although it is not that there is no outlier like Li Yuanqing, the number of people is too small, even if there are a large number of Mo Dao now, it is too difficult for Li Yuanqing to form such a heavy armor soldier.

"Modao is naturally good. It's just that, with our current strength, it's difficult. Li Yuanqing sighed slowly.

Not to mention the above difficulties, even if it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty, the smelting technology has been greatly improved, but if you want to make a batch of Mo knives, I am afraid that the imperial court may not be able to afford this kind of financial pressure, let alone Li Yuanqing, a small warlord whose foothold is not yet stable.

Duan Xiliang smiled, of course he knew that it was unrealistic to set up heavy armor soldiers now, but as a soldier, especially a soldier who was charging on the front line, he naturally wanted to assemble the best equipment into the troops under his command, and he also wanted to give Li Yuanqing a wake-up call.

After adjusting for a moment, Duan Xiliang said: "My lord, there is no Mo knife, the best weapon is the spear." I, Daming, when I was in Qi Shuai, also used spears to assemble troops. However, their spears, far from the spears we use now, are all made of fine iron, which can weigh dozens of catties, and cannot be controlled by non-strong people. This kind of spear formation, once it rushes up, it is difficult for the cavalry to stop, and it can almost sharpen iron like mud. My uncle, who served under Qi Shuai back then, saw his spear when I was a child, but now, it has long been lost. ”

As he spoke, Duan Xiliang sighed.

Everyone didn't expect that Duan Xiliang was actually a descendant of Jiangmen, and they couldn't help but be a little impressed, no wonder this guy was so brave on the battlefield, it turned out to be a inheritance.

Li Yuanqing didn't know that Duan Xiliang still had this kind of family matter, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing also admired Qi Jiguang very much, but it was all some skin, I only knew that he defeated the Japanese Kou, and several military books were handed down, but at this time, in the era when Qi Jiguang was only a few decades away, Li Yuanqing personally felt his strength, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a cross-era 'military god'.

He not only has a strong study of all kinds of military formations, but also has a deep study of weapons, firearms, and even various details of soldiers' lives.

In the battle of the Hunhe River, although the Zhejiang soldiers, although also strong, but after all, lost the backbone, the various ordnance equipment, is not as good as before, if it is Qi Jiguang's heyday of the Zhejiang soldiers, then ~~, the war on the bank of the Hunhe River, it is really difficult to say, even if the counterattack on Shenyang City, capture the old slave alive, it is not impossible.

Unfortunately, history never has ifs.

"It's a good idea, equipping the troops with pikes. What do you guys think? Li Yuanqing glanced at the other officers again.

Guan Canghai said for a long time: "My lord, I also agree with the spear assembly troops. Although the short knife is sharp, it is too limited, and each pikeman can be equipped with a short knife for hand-to-hand combat. ”

Duan Xiliang couldn't help but nod again and again, "What Brother Canghai said is extremely true. That's what I think, too. My lord, as long as the equipment is complete and the sons and daughters practice hard, I believe that we will never have this result when we fight the Tartars again. ”

Looking at the excited officers, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, these rabbit cubs, it is easy to move their mouths, but if they say that the soldiers are fully equipped, how much silver will it cost?

Although Li Yuanqing had some belongings at this time, he still had so many people under his command who needed to be fed, so naturally he couldn't put all his financial resources into armaments.

"In this battle, you can think about it carefully when you go back, learn from each other's strengths, and tomorrow, let's discuss again. I hope that you will not only be able to express your ideas, but also have the means to implement them. ”

…………

After the meeting, Li Yuanqing was tired.

If there is enough time for Li Yuanqing to practice, then why does Li Yuanqing bother so much?

The key is that all the initiative is now in the hands of the old slave, according to this situation, how can Li Yuanqing be so calm?

Troop training is urgent, but it must wait until the end of the war in Quang Ninh and the whole army moves to Changsheng Island.

Outside, the snowflakes have been drifting non-stop, although it has entered February, but the weather, there is not much sign of warming.

The ice is beginning to melt in the depths of the sea, but the seashore is still stiff.

Li Yuanqing looked at the snow-covered sea, heaven and earth, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation was in Guangning now.

Unfortunately, he now has less than 700 soldiers, and if he wants to pounce into the battle, he can only 'moth to the fire'.

However, there are too many places near the sea in Liaodi, and Li Yuanqing believes that as long as he can endure his temperament, opportunities will definitely appear again.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to return to Guanglu Island and report Yaerhai to the imperial court, but decided to continue to wander to the sea area of western Liaoning, looking for opportunities.

After a brief night's rest, the next day the fleet continued westward, preparing to go to the area around Donghai Fort to inquire about the news.

Now, Li Yuanqing's grain and grass are still very sufficient, and after the battle of the post station, some manpower was lost, and the grain and grass were even more sufficient.

Li Yuanqing also directly ordered the firefighters to take care of their meals regardless of whether they were soldiers or sailors.

At such times, you can no longer take care of the silver.

A day later, the fleet had arrived in the hinterland of western Liaoning, and the land to the west could be seen from afar.

Guan Canghai found Li Yuanqing at this time and reported in a low voice: "My lord, the corpses of our sons and daughters who died in battle, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they can't be put on the ship anymore." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help frowning, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The two of them took a small boat to the big boat behind to store the corpses, and more than a dozen soldiers were guarding here, and when they saw Li Yuanqing and Guan Canghai coming, they hurriedly saluted, and looked at Li Yuanqing's eyes, full of respect and gratitude.

Guan Canghai sighed and said: "My lord, although the weather is very cold, but the cabin is too stuffy, if it continues like this, it won't take two days, and the corpses of these sons and daughters will begin to decompose, and at that time, this ship may also ......."

Although Guan Canghai didn't finish speaking, Li Yuanqing understood what he meant.

On a ship, if you lose your vitality, you can't escape the laws of nature, especially in places like the cabin.

But if he watched his sons and daughters rot, this was also a pain that Li Yuanqing could not bear.

"Canghai, what can you do?" Li Yuanqing didn't want to give up the last glimmer of hope, and wanted to bring the good men under his command back to Changsheng Island for burial.

Guan Canghai let out a long breath of turbidity, "My lord, although it is snowing, we don't have ice, and even if there is ice, I'm afraid it will be ...... Especially at this time, once there is an epidemic, it will not be easy to do. ”

Li Yuanqing sighed and rubbed his temples tiredly, "If you really don't have a choice, then burn the corpses of the sons." But I must bring their ashes back to Eternal Island for burial. ”

Guan Canghai hurriedly knelt on one knee and kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, "My lord is benevolent." The sons and daughters of Canghai have thanked the adults for their kindness. ”

Some of the soldiers around him were already in tears, and they all knelt on the ground, "Your Excellency is benevolent and righteous, and you are willing to die for your lordship." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Without further ado." Canghai, you can arrange people now to go to the coast to collect firewood. ”

Guan Canghai nodded and left in a hurry.

…………

At night, along the coast, the blazing fires reach into the sky.

On the side, nearly a thousand men knelt on the ground, quietly watching this scene, and many people couldn't help but shed tears.

Yesterday, the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side and were extremely familiar with each other, today they ......

However, the Lord has given them enough glory and reward, and these soldiers who died in battle can not only return to Changsheng Island under the rule of the Lord for burial, but also they will receive ten taels of silver for each of them, and their wives and children will also be supported by the adults.

"Brother Dahai, you go. I will definitely follow the adults and kill all the Tartars. Seeing that the familiar figure was gradually covered by the fire, a sturdy man was desperately kowtowing, and blood was knocked on his forehead.

"Ryoko, let's go on the road with peace of mind. My brother will definitely follow the adults and kill all the Tartars. ”

“……”

Li Yuanqing's eyes were also blurred by tears, and he silently thought in his heart, "Sons, rest in peace." Your efforts today will be rewarded sooner or later. Our Han nation will never continue to sink. ”
