I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!!

In our impression, the spear is a long wooden pole or bamboo pole with a spear tip at the top, and the horsetail hair is made into a spear tassel, and you can carry it to the battlefield. In fact, most of the spears equipped by the ancient Chinese cavalry were horse lances, which had a lot of exquisiteness, and the lance was not a wooden pole for foot lances at all, but the main trunk of high-quality tough wood, peeled into a scorn and then soaked in oil repeatedly. The soak is no longer deformed, no longer cracked, and the first step has been completed.

The latter process is more cumbersome, so I will not describe them in detail, so the spear produced in this way is light, tough and strong. The military commander can charge with horsepower, or swing it in melee combat, but it takes three years for the whole lance to go to the battlefield, and the success rate is only forty percent, so the cost is surprisingly high. If they all change their clothes, regardless of whether time permits, even this price may also make Zhao Ta on the verge of death from pain.

Fortunately, the cavalry spears used by the hussars were not so elaborate, and the methods were simple, and the wood used was not hard, which is the raw material we now commonly use to make pencils-fir wood.

The gun is made by first making the wood into the shape of half of the body, then hollowing out the inside, gluing the two halves together and painting them with lacquer, and the center of gravity of the whole gun is a wooden ball, which can maintain balance and protect the hand holding the spear. The head of the gun was made of iron, but it was small, only about three inches long, with a ridge on it, and the head was fixed to the barrel with a long iron bar.

Because of the hollow barrel, the weight of these spears is only about five pounds, but it cannot be said that there are no benefits, at least it is so light and easier for the rider to control, if you still feel tired of carrying it, the tail of the gun can be put over a leather case tied to the saddle with a belt. It's so easy and affordable.

The rider can charge at full speed and impale a heavily armored enemy with his spear, but usually the spear is also shattered by the reaction force. In the rest of the battle, he would have to use weapons such as long swords, heavy sabers, and sabers. This is also in response to the old reason recognized by the Chinese people, cheap is not good. These guns are one-time consumables, but the guns are broken and killed, and the rider is not injured by the powerful impact. But if a gun can be exchanged for a Jin Jun Tiefutu, this transaction Zhao Ta still feels that he has made a lot of money!

Since he had thought about it, he would do it, Zhao Ta allocated a special fund to build a cavalry spear, transform the armor, and at the same time, the training subjects of the hussars were also adjusted, and after the basic training was completed, he immediately began to carry out cavalry spear assassination and charge training. This seemingly simple action is actually not simple, both sides are moving quickly, and they have to accurately poke their spears into the enemy's vital points, so that they lose their combat effectiveness in an instant. You also have to quickly avoid the enemy's out-of-control war horse, draw your saber and enter the melee.

To do this, you must not only have a good psychological quality, but also master the skills of shooting and throwing guns, otherwise it is very likely to kill the enemy at the same time, you will also be injured because of the huge reaction force, dislocated arms, sprains are light, if you are knocked off the horse will be trampled into meat paste instantly!

For the cavalry charge training loyal soldiers, Zhao Ta has not seen it, so he can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Fortunately, many of the Krüptes were born from Western Xia cavalry. Some of them are good at using spears, so a special teaching team was set up, and during the day they organized training, and at night they summed up their experience. Then improve and arrange the next day's training to lead to the surface, and then fully roll out. Everything is stumbling and getting off to a start.

……

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, a dozen horses galloped from the north on a major road outside the city of Texas. The knight knew that he was a Khitan when he looked at the costume, and his white cloak was covered with dust. His lips were chapped, and he looked like he had come from a long journey.

"Fifth sister, after a night's journey, let's rest in front!" One of the knights on the horse gently pulled the reins and turned his face to the Khitan woman with a white veil behind him.

"Okay!" Zhao Xin's horse was also sweating, and it was time to feed and drink, and saw a hill on the side of the road not far ahead, and Dezhou City was also faintly visible, "Zale, let's rest in the dirt mountain and woods ahead!" ”

"Yes, girl!" Zale agreed, added a whip, and led a few of his own soldiers to inspect first, while the rest rode slowly.

"Girl, the southern slope of this mountain is full of dead people, why don't we change places!" By the time Zhao Xin reached the foot of the mountain, Zale had already circled the mountain, took the horse and said.

"Big brother, how's it going?" Zhao Xin looked at his eldest brother Xiao Chongjie and asked for his opinion.

"It's okay, what's so terrible about the dead, it's over there!" Xiao Chongjie smiled indifferently, he was ordered to accept the requisition to fight against the Jin army, but he was repeatedly defeated, and the tribal army suffered heavy losses, and a few days ago he found an opportunity to lead the troops back to Yuanzhou quietly.

Seeing that the two masters did not care, Zal led two of his relatives to choose a flat open space in the woods at the foot of the mountain, far from the cemetery, spread animal skins, and put a kettle of dry food for the master to rest, leaving two people on guard, and he led the horse to the side to graze and drink.

"Big brother, what do you think about the matter of staying behind and summoning us to Xijing to discuss the matter of resisting the Jurchens together?" Zhao Xin took off his scarf and picked up the kettle and drank a sip of water, now that the eldest brother has returned, Zhao Xin took the initiative to give up the position of the Jiedu envoy, and he retreated behind the scenes and no longer showed his face.

"Needless to say, he must want us to send troops to help and defend Xijing together!" Xiao Chongjie drank wine but not water, he pouted and said.

"Then the eldest brother is planning to send troops?" Zhao Xin frowned and asked again.

"Well, our Bali tribe has been silent for too long, and this troubled era is the opportunity for us to rise again, and when we take control of Xijing and welcome back to the emperor, we will be the heroes of Zhongxing Daliao, who will still be our opponent in the middle of the court at that time!" Xiao Chongjie said arrogantly, as if Xijing was already his world.

"The eldest brother is going to fight for Xijing this time, so how can Xiao Chara let it go easily!" The eldest brother's ambition is really great, and he wants to restore the former glory of the Bali tribe, but now the great enemy does not want to fight against the enemy, but wants to fight for power and profit, which makes her worry.

"Xijing is the world of my Xiao family, Xiao Chala surrendered without a fight, which has chilled the clansmen, and it is said that this rebellion is also because the Jin general who stayed behind took a fancy to his concubine and forcibly asked for it to cause a conflict, so he had to rebel. Besides, the emperor has long been disgusted with his betrayal, and now the Xia army is hovering in Fengshengzhou, I am afraid that it is because of this, after all, they want the emperor to return to Xijing, not to help a rebellious vassal! Xiao Chongjie said with a sneer.

"Then will Xiao Chala take refuge in Nanjing, after all, it is also orthodox over there!" Zhao Xin sighed and said, the eldest brother is the eldest son of the family, after he came back, he became the master strongly, squeezed out the second brother, and controlled the power in the house, if he wasn't quite jealous of the new army he formed, I'm afraid he wouldn't try his best to win himself over, and Zhao Xin didn't want his brother Xiao Wall, so he could only reconcile from it.

"Hmph, now the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Song Dynasty are stationed at the border, and their meaning is self-evident, I'm afraid that Nanjing will not be able to take care of itself, where to send reinforcements, and besides, if his name on the throne is not right, how can it be regarded as orthodox!" Xiao Chongjie didn't pay attention to Nanjing at all, and said with a cold snort.

"Oh!" Zhao Xin nodded, she had also heard about it, and it was right to think about it, "Big brother, the steward of Sheng Rentang has asked for payment several times, but he still gave it!" She said again.

"Those profiteers, how dare they ask for such a big price for just a few goods, and they don't give it!" After Xiao Chongjie took charge of the power in the palace, he took over the financial power.

"Big brother, I responded to these goods for them, we can't break our promises, let's give a little bit, otherwise there will be trouble!" Zhao Xin knew what he wanted, and the price was not outrageous, but the eldest brother used this as an excuse to blackmail himself, which made him very uncomfortable.

"They are a gang of profiteers in the Song Kingdom, I just don't give them a penny, what can I do, he doesn't come to Yuanzhou, there are other people who come, and I will slaughter them all if I provoke them!" Xiao Chongjie said nonchalantly.

"Big brother, don't kill anyone, otherwise our Yuanzhou will get into big trouble!" Zhao Xin, as an old man in the mansion, doesn't he know the temper of the prince of Ludao, if he owes money and doesn't give it, he may still be able to tolerate it, if he kills someone, he has to find it back, even if it is to take a few more lives!

"Okay, okay, for my sister's sake, I'll give them half of them and send them away, the second child doesn't know how much they have benefited from it!" Xiao Chongjie saw that his sister said solemnly, not like talking about fun, and said impatiently.

"Big brother, don't be suspicious, the second brother has always been cautious and fair, and he will never do anything from it!" Zhao Xin's brows furrowed even tighter, how could the eldest brother become like this? If the words are not speculative, Zhao Xin will not say much, everything can only be done after arriving in Xijing, the brother and sister are eating silently, each thinking about their own thoughts, and no one is silent.

"Abu, who's over there?" Zhao Xin suddenly felt someone peeping behind her, and turned around sharply to see that the figure in the forest flashed and disappeared, she hurriedly asked.

"Girl, it's okay, it's someone over there who pays tribute, see that we are here and have no malice and leave!" Abu, who was on the sidelines, said.

"Hmm!" Zhao Xin nodded and hung up the scarf, but he was still uneasy in his heart, that person's eyes were sharp, with a strong murderous aura, obviously not an ordinary person, so who are they memorializing, and who are they?

"Fifth sister, are you avoiding someone, you always have a face towel on your face!" Xiao Chongjie chewed the jerky hard, looked at the little sister's cautious appearance and chuckled.

"Nothing, just habit!" Zhao Xin replied nonchalantly, she felt apprehensive in her heart, as if someone was beside her.

"Brothers, I came to see you and brought you zongzi and wine from our house..."

"How could he be here, could it be that he is going to take action himself!" Hearing the sound of talking from the other side of the woods, Zhao Xinxin jumped suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but be surprised! (To be continued.) )
