It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I wish all my friends the New Year. Thank you also for the reward of the rotten egg guardian prodigy shoes, here I wish all friends a happy new year, all the best, a lot of money, and everyone should not forget to bring the red envelope in the end! ~
Li Yuan glanced at the row of warehouses and said with some embarrassment, "It's all those ignorant people below, this is transported from the Dongdu Arsenal, and the weapons over there have gone wrong, and some of the equipment that didn't need to be transported was transported here as a batch of shields." When the things arrived, we found out that they were wrong, so we had to get a few separate warehouses and put them there, which was also a dereliction of duty. ”
When he said this, Chen Kefu became very curious, "Tang Gong, I don't know if you can take me in to have a look and see what kind of equipment it is." ”
Li Yuan saw that they were so curious, so he had to say, "No problem, come with me, they are all vulgar things, but they are not very good-looking." ”
Entering the warehouse, Li Yuan said to his entourage, "Take a few samples and open them for the two adults to see." After speaking, he turned to look at Chen Kefu and said, "This matter is also my dereliction of duty, and I also ask the two of you to include one or two for my Weiwei Temple in front of Your Majesty, otherwise it will be known by the imperial historians, and it is indispensable to hold them accountable." ”
After Chen Kefu and the others nodded in agreement, the personnel of the Weiwei Temple also brought a few wooden boxes over and opened them one by one in front of them. Looking at the various weapons and armor in the box in front of them, Chen Kefu and Yu Wenhua couldn't help but stare at it, wanting to see what the wrong equipment in Li Yuan's mouth was.
The first thing that caught Chen Kefu's eyes was a very strange sword, saying that he was strange because this sword was very long, estimated to be at least one meter four or five, and it was almost one person tall. Moreover, the hilt of the sword is also very long, and it is estimated that the hilt of the sword alone is forty centimeters. Chen Kefu had really never seen such a weapon, so he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Li Yuandao, "Tang Gong?" What kind of sword is this, and what kind of style is it? ”
"General Chen, this is a long sword made by craftsmen in the Han Dynasty, called the Horse Chopping Sword, this kind of sword has blades on both sides, and the upper handle is nearly one person long, which is specially used to cut the horse's legs. It's just that my army has never been equipped with this kind of weapon, and the sword of the Son of Heaven in my court has always been used for the palace honor guard, and this time the useless guy actually brought this thing far away, isn't this a troublemaker. ”
Chen Kefu stretched out the horse chopping sword and took it out of the box, it was very heavy, it was estimated that there were at least about twenty catties, such a sword is no wonder with such a long handle, it is estimated that if you don't use both hands, few soldiers can swing such a long sword to cut the horse's legs.
Looking at the sword in his hand, the more Chen Kefu looked at it, the more familiar it felt, and after thinking hard in his mind, Chen Kefu finally remembered that this was not a little similar to the most famous Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the most prestigious Modao team in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Kefu couldn't help but get excited. As far as he knows, the Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty seems to have evolved from the horse sword, and the only difference between the Mo knife and the horse sword is that the Mo knife is longer than the horse sword, whether it is the blade part or the handle part. The weight of the Mo knife is also heavier, from more than 20 catties to more than 50 catties, and the length has also reached more than two meters, or even about three meters. Such weapons were lined up in phalanxes on the battlefield, and the cavalry that was attacking the enemy advanced like a wall, and such a scene made Chen Kefu's blood boil as long as he thought about it.
"Tang Gong, how many such slashing swords are there?"
"Not much, there are a thousand, although the sword is sharp, but there must be a special array to cooperate, first shoot with crossbow archers, and then attack with a Mo knife formation, followed by cavalry guards, every time you attack a section, you have to regroup. In this way, the repeated attacks, when the direction of the cloth, but the expedition to Goguryeo can not use such weapons, the Goguryeo people only dare to retreat into the city of our Sui army, how dare to fight with our army in the field, especially the attack of Eulzhi Wende was defeated by the two adults, it is estimated that there will be no more opportunities for field battles in the future. ”
Chen Kefu knew that if the Mo Dao wanted to be powerful, there must be one more thing, that is, hoplite armor. This is the same awesome thing as the armor and cavalry, and the heavily armed Modao team is like a tank in World War II, unstoppable. Even if the hoplites met, the two most luxurious battle formations were estimated to be able to retreat with the hoplites. After all, no matter how good the heavy cavalry is, the four horse legs can't put on armor.
It's a pity, Chen Kefu sighed in his heart, he is a cavalry general, and this horse sword is the equipment of heavy infantry, even if he is about to pass.
"General Chen, I see that you like this weapon so much, why don't you just take one and collect it, anyway, this thing is also placed here. Lord Yuwen, why don't you take one too? Li Yuan is very generous, anyway, he doesn't feel distressed when he gives away public things.
Chen Kefu really couldn't put it down, and immediately said happily after hearing it, "Then thank you Tang Gong for your kindness, Brother Yuwen, do you want to collect one too?" ”
Yu Wenhua is interested in wine and beauty, but he is not interested in this cold weapon, if he doesn't accompany Chen Ke back, he wouldn't be too lazy to come to such a place, it is better to go to the brothel to have some fun, drink some flower wine or something.
After receiving this beautiful horse chopping sword, Chen Kefu was in a good mood, and pointed to several other boxes with a smile and said, "Tang Gong, what are these boxes?" ”
"Oh, the remaining two boxes are all armor, one is the infantry armor with the sword of the horse, and it is heavy armor, and General Chen doesn't need it. The other one is also armor, but it is an armor and cavalry equipment, there are two thousand pairs here, if General Chen wants it, just take it, just give me a list when the time comes, since this thing has been shipped, it is just to occupy a place here. Now in addition to General Chen's broken barracks, there are only the Praetorian Guards around His Majesty the Emperor of the capital, but those people are dressed to put on a scene, showing off the martial arts of our Celestial Dynasty in front of the outside, and there are fewer real uses. Lord Chen broke tens of thousands with a thousand heavy cavalry this time, it was the general who used this armor and cavalry, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor had an order for General Chen to form a heavy cavalry of 3,000 people, I can also be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I should be congratulating Lord Chen. ”
The wooden box was opened, and the Sui armor riding gear inside was revealed, and at first glance, Chen Kefu's mood became excited. Sure enough, it is a horse equipment, and the handiwork of this Great Sui is not known how many times better than that of the Goguryeo. The entire armor was covered with a layer of ghostly light, full of texture. He really didn't expect that he would have such an unexpected gain when he came here today. Although he now has 3,000 armored cavalry, he is very clear about the power of the heavy cavalry, if he has 5,000 heavy cavalry at the time of Guanjian, even if he encounters the situation like the 70,000 cavalry of Yizhi Wende again, he will dare to go straight to the opponent's formation.
"Okay, this is really the best gift Ben will ever receive, thank you so much Tang Gong. In the future, if there is any command, Ben will not dare to resign. Tang Gong, just this armor and cavalry equipped with 2,000 pairs, cavalry Mingguang armor 10,000 pairs, 10,000 horizontal knives, forget the horse lance, I know this thing is precious, it just so happened that last time we captured 6,000 horse lances, it is estimated that the Goguryeo people made it with blood, and originally planned to send the rest here, but this time it is trouble-free, I don't ask you Tang Gong for it, and you Tang Gong don't look for me anymore. As for the rest, 10,000 crossbows and light bows, 50,000 pots of arrows, and 10,000 spears. That's all, it's easy to get a whole number, and if there's a damage or something, I don't have to come to Tang Gong again, right? ”
Li Yuan was also taken aback by Chen Kefu's number, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he really dared to speak, everything was basically doubled, if it was another general, even if it was the commander of the 24th Army, he might not be willing to give it. However, Chen Kefu, a celebrity like today's son, coupled with the backing of Yuwen's family, Li Yuan paused, but still did not refuse.
"General Chen, please rest assured, I will immediately ask people to count the materials that General Chen wants, and General Chen will send soldiers to transport them away in a moment. If General Chen is inconvenient, I can send him directly to the barracks. ”
Chen Kefu originally thought that the lion would open his mouth, ask for a price all over the world, bargain with Li Yuan, and finally get six or seven percent, he would be satisfied, this Li Yuan completely agreed to his conditions at once, which really made him a little stunned. But of course he won't be embarrassed when he reacts, anyway, it's all from the imperial court, and he Chen Kefu didn't sell it for money. As for his willingness to give, of course he was even happier to accept it.
Borrowing the pen and ink of the Chinese book in the warehouse, Chen Kefu directly drafted the list in the warehouse, anyway, this thing went through a formality, indicating that he took the thing, not Li Yuan swallowed it privately. As for whether he can receive so much at once, no one cares about him.
Yu Wenshu looked at Chen Kefu who was on the list, walked up to Li Yuan and said softly, "Shude, let me tell you something, my brother Brother Pojun seems to have taken a fancy to the third lady of your family." I know that the third lady of your family is not worthy of anyone, and now you see that Chen Pojun is so young and promising, although his family background is a little shabby, but his ability is not low. Besides, in this way, your third mother will marry into the Chen family, so that she will not be bullied, Brother Shude, do you think I deserve to be a matchmaker? ”
Li Yuan also said with some disbelief, "Brother Yuwen, is this matter serious?" Chen Pojun really said this to you, please come and be the old man? ”
"Such a big thing, how can I talk nonsense, on the way here, he also specially asked me about the situation of your Sanniang, but unfortunately there are no elders in his family, and I have to help me as a brother to help me go out of the house. Brother Shude, don't hesitate, tomorrow Your Majesty will reward meritorious deeds, this Chen Pojun is the first merit, and he will definitely be promoted, this grace is not available in other families. If your third mother follows him, she will be happy, besides, if Brother Shude has such a son-in-law who has won the emperor's favor, won't the Li family be able to get a little bit of light in the future. Yu Wenhua's idea is very simple, one really treats Chen Kefu as a buddy, thanks to him for saving his life, when he came, because of Chen Kefu's words, he thought that Chen Kefu really fell in love with the daughter of Li Yuan's family, so he thought about helping Chen Kefu. Second, he also wanted to win over Li Yuan through Chen Kefu and get more help for his Yuwen valve.
