Zhang Sheng got up early in the morning and came to the grass outside the city early to watch the 'array drill' as usual. Coming to the city on time every day to read exercises has become Zhang Sheng's greatest pleasure these days. He was really happy to watch the groups of people and horses on the grass, spinning around, and running in circles. Especially after seven or eight days have passed, but Lingyun's training of the five chief managers has not made much progress. These people are in small formations, and they look the same, but once they form a formation or even practice in a group, they will suddenly be a mess. But the more this happened, the happier he became.

"Master, it's so early?" Luo Fang rode out of the city slowly.

Luo Fang has also been very leisurely recently, becoming the deputy alliance leader, but he is only the third-ranked deputy alliance leader, especially after Ling Yun has classified many affairs into battle preparation on the grounds of preparing for the battle, he, the third deputy alliance leader, has nothing to do. According to his character, it must be unacceptable, but Zhang Sheng asked him to endure it first. Zhang Sheng asked him to wait for half a month, and it was not too late to trouble Ling Yun after half a month. With Zhang Sheng's words, Luo Fang has been quiet these days, and he comes to the city every morning to review and practice. Speaking of review, in fact, it is just to see the excitement. Lingyun took the opportunity to prepare for war, put away the military power, disrupted and reorganized the troops and horses, and the men and horses were all under the command of the fifth battalion. The three deputy alliance leaders were all hung high, Pei Zeng was awarded the title of chief instructor by Ling Yun, while Zhang Sheng got the title of a military advisor, and Luo Fang was a military title.

However, although Zhang Sheng and Luo Fang have one military division and one Xiangzan military affairs, they can put forward their opinions to Ling Yun at any time, but they do not accept it. Whether to adopt it or not, but Ling Yun has the final say. If Lingyun ignored him, they wouldn't be able to do anything. Therefore, it is said to be a review. In fact, they just came to see the excitement, and they couldn't interfere in the specific training affairs.

"Little Thirteen has been hunting every day lately?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Well, he's still hunting, hunting with his friends all day. The day before yesterday, Thirteen pulled out two houses in Dongcheng and gave them to the Henan people, and they were going to build an armory workshop there. Luo Fang said disapprerovingly.

Zhang Sheng pinched his beard and thought about it. I didn't think there was anything suspicious about this matter, Xu Gai was going to build an armory workshop in Huaihuang, and Ling Yun talked to him. They said they were going to do some ordnance business. Zhang Sheng agreed to this, which is a good thing, and it is a help for the Tiger League. Although the LTTE has its own armory. But after all, there is a lack of skilled craftsmen. Many times their own armory workshop production is not self-sufficient. If Xu Gai and them build an armory workshop here, at least they can make up for their shortcomings. Green forest, how can you do it without a guy.

"Master, almost half of the time has passed in the past half a month, according to this, how can Xiao Thirteen fight against the Wild Guren?"

"Wouldn't that be better?" Zhang Shengyin laughed a few times, "How about letting you contact a few outer halls?" ”

Luo Fang said in a low voice: "Xue Liang is already doing this, don't worry, master." Little Thirteen and Bano Guren fight. At that time, Lingyun will be defeated, and at that time, the people of Baya will definitely have to pay some price. At that time, we will immediately summon the outer hall and the rudder soldiers and horses to come over, and a yellow finch will be behind to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Destroy the bait and solid, and then drive the little thirteen down, and replace you for the position of the leader of the alliance. ”

Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "I'm already old as a teacher, even if I sit in the position of alliance leader, I won't be able to sit for a few years." At that time, the position of alliance leader will naturally have to be handed over to you. ”

Luo Fang's heart was hot, and he nodded excitedly.

Huaihuang Dongcheng, Ling Yun went to their new workshop to watch under the guidance of Xu Gai and others.

When you come to the workshop, there is a hot atmosphere, the breeze is cool outside, but here it is hot, and there are shirtless craftsmen and apprentices everywhere.

In a shed, a group of craftsmen are working hard to make knives, it seems that they are still beginning to take shape, but they are just blanks, but it can already be seen that this is not a straight-edged horizontal knife commonly used by the Sui army, but a scimitar with a curve.

"Saburo, this is the saber on the sketch you handed me. What do you think, is it compliant? Xu Gai pointed to the knife blank that was being deformed by the craftsman's hammer.

The first batch of ordnance to start work in the new armory workshop was the sabre, which was a new cavalry weapon drawn by Ling Yun and handed over to Xu Gai for them to make in a hurry. This new style of saber is a wide-backed thin blade with a heavier blade and a length of about one meter. The saber has a smooth line and a slightly curved handle towards the blade, so that the curved handle is easier for the rider to grasp and not easy to get out of his hands. Moreover, the heavy blade is also more conducive to increasing the strength of the chop. Compared with the traditional straight-edged horizontal knife, riders can use superb riding skills to drive the saber to complete the main tactical actions such as chopping with the powerful impact formed by the speed of the war horse. Moreover, this new style of saber has a sharp blade, with a knife tip and blood groove, in addition to chopping, cutting, slashing and other actions, it can also perform functions such as stabbing and poking. Moreover, stabbing and poking can often make the enemy lose his combat effectiveness very quickly. The function of the blood groove is not mainly to bleed, but the main role is that if the knife body does not have a blood groove, after piercing the human body, it is often due to the violent contraction of the muscles, which makes it difficult to draw the knife, but after adding the blood groove, it can make a little space between the muscles and the knife body, so that the air enters the muscles, and it is easier to draw the knife for the next tactical action, which is the same as the bayonet blood tank.

"Has the sample knife been decided?"

"The first batch of prototype knives has been produced, eighteen of them. The total length of each is 3 feet 5 inches, the blade length is 2 feet 9 inches, the blade width is 8 inches 6, and the thickness is three points. You test it for yourself. A master craftsman reported the number of sample knives, and then directly pushed a sample knife in front of Ling Yun.

With a knife in his hand, Ling Yun suddenly felt like he couldn't put it down.

When he designed the cavalry knife, he actually considered whether to choose a straight blade or a curved blade.

Straight-edged swords are suitable for assassination, and are best suited for heavy cavalry, and in cavalry-on-cavalry collision charges, the swords are very effective for assassinating heavily armored targets in the initial charge. But this requires heavy cavalry, which is extremely professional and extremely demanding of the rider. The sabre with a curved blade is more suitable for melee and pursuit, and for light cavalry who do not fight frontal charges, the curved blade horse is more suitable for slashing.

For Ling Yun, the hussars he newly trained were positioned as a light cavalry, not a brute cavalry used to rampage with the opponent. Therefore, in the end, he chose the curved blade saber.

I tried it in my hand, it felt very good, and the blade was slightly heavy, but it was really suitable for chopping on horseback.

"Dare to ask, I don't know who this saber drawing of the Lord of the Alliance is?" The craftsman stared at Ling Yun and asked, his eyes full of heat. He cast countless knives, and when he got the drawings, he knew that this knife was extraordinary. When he forged the first sample sword, he became more and more certain that this was the cavalry's sharp weapon. It's just that he didn't believe it a little, such a good knife was actually from the hands of the young Yi Saburo.

Ling Yun smiled and did not answer. If you say it's not your own, who is it? Ling Yun also knew how to explain, so he simply didn't explain. However, his reaction, in the eyes of the craftsman head and Xu Gai and others, was tantamount to acquiescence. The craftsman leader was shocked in his heart, but thinking that Ling Yun had become the leader of the Northern Green Forest Alliance at his age, he no longer couldn't figure it out. But the admiration for Ling Yun in my heart has not decreased, but has become more and more.

Qin Qiong and Lai Liulang each carried a new knife, got on their horses and went out to test the new cavalry knife. When he came back after half a day, Lai Liulang said excitedly: "Good knife, this is really a riding weapon, and it is very easy to use." ”

Shu Bao also nodded again and again, this knife is indeed very suitable for cavalry.

"Then build it like this, Third Brother Xu, will you drive out a thousand first?" Ling Yun asked.

Xu Gai turned his head and whispered to the craftsman for a while, and then said to Ling Yun: "If San Lang can guarantee the materials and borrow some more people to help, hurry up, seven days, I will drive you out."

"So fast?" This time it was Ling Yun's turn to be surprised.

Xu Gai said with a smile: "Actually, we have brought a lot of materials over this time to the north, including many processed sword blanks, and now we don't need to start from scratch to cast this batch of sabers." ”

Hearing this, Ling Yun was relieved, these riding knives were used for combat. If Xu Gai is in a hurry and comes to a shoddy work, then it will be a lot of fun to go into battle.

"Then ask the third brother to help make a batch of triangular arrows, okay?" Triangular arrows, which are specialized in dealing with those thick armor. There must be no shortage of thick-armored cavalry, and when the time comes, they will be blocked with triangular arrows first.

"No problem."

After taking a turn in the armory, Ling Yun returned satisfied. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something again. "By the way, I still have a drawing here, please ask the third brother to help make it."

"What kind of magic weapon is it?" Xu Gai asked with a smile. Stretched out his hand to take the drawing in Ling Yun's hand, but he looked down twice, but said with some incomprehension: "What is this, iron hoops and a few nails?" ”

Ling Yun smiled: "That's right, the size and shape are written in detail. Just follow the above system. ”

Xu Gai frowned, still couldn't see what it was for, "How much?" ”

"This iron ring will come with four thousand first, and one iron ring with a nail."

Hearing this number, Xu Gai seemed to think of something, but he didn't catch it. A thousand sabers, four thousand iron rings, sixteen thousand nails. It's all in the thousand, is this also a cavalry weapon? But he really couldn't figure out what kind of weapon this was. According to the requirements on this drawing, this iron ring is not as big as a palm, what can it be used for?

"San Lang, what the hell is this for?" Xu Gai couldn't help but ask.

Ling Yun smiled, with a mysterious expression, "You beat them out first, and then I will naturally sue you." (To be continued......)
