Xu Ning's martial arts are very high, and on the second day after he arrived at the North Wolf Village, Zhao Bufan let Xu Ning and Lin Chong fight, and the two fought fiercely for more than 70 years, and Xu Ning saw a slight decline. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the division of martial arts grades initiated by Huang Shang, Xu Ning's shooting force is between the fifth and sixth grades, he is similar to Lin Chong, his internal strength is relatively poor, and his marksmanship cultivation is very high, he also belongs to an explosive brave general, and his force is slightly inferior to Lin Chong, but he has a unique advantage, that is, the hook and sickle he is good at.

The hook sickle is different from the ordinary iron gun, there are two barbs at the junction of the head and the barrel, one large and one small, similar to a crescent, and as sharp as a knife.

Zhao Bufan carefully observed Xu Ning's use of the hook and sickle technique, and felt more and more that it was the right choice for him to name Xu Ning to join his command.

If it is said that people with strong martial arts fight alone, the hook and sickle does not occupy too many advantages, but in the battle of the army, Zhao Bufan felt the particularity of this weapon. In his vague memory, if this weapon was used in infantry, it could greatly enhance the lethality of cavalry, but he did not want to use it in infantry now, but in the cavalry ranks, and he hoped that there would be a battalion of golden lancers under his command who were very powerful in using hook and sickle guns.

This idea came up when he burned the Liao camp, when he suddenly captured the flag and found one of the biggest problems, that is, the weapons of the Liao cavalry were almost all sabers, scimitars and blunt weapons that were conducive to chopping, and they were extremely lethal in close combat.

For this problem, Zhao Bufan thought about it carefully, if the Song soldiers were also trained in imitation of the Liao soldiers, it would be equivalent to following the footsteps of the other party, and they were congenitally at a disadvantage, plus the Khitan people grew up on horseback, and the conditions were not comparable to the Song soldiers, so no matter how they practiced, they were in a weak position, and they could not expect every Song soldier to be a genius and surpass the Khitans.

But at the same time, if the Liao soldiers with knives meet the masters who use long weapons, they are basically unable to get close, and Zhao Bufan was able to successfully kill the generals and capture the flag at that time, precisely because most of the Liao soldiers pose little threat to him, as long as the other party is not allowed to get close, the opponent's weapons will not touch him at all.

Ever since he came to his senses, he had been thinking about this in his head.

It is difficult to guarantee that the martial arts of ordinary soldiers are all higher than those of the Liao soldiers, so it is impossible to guarantee that everyone will prevent the Liao soldiers from getting close, and the advantages of long weapons will not be brought into play.

It was this thinking that made Zhao Bufan gradually think of Xu Ning and the hook and sickle.

There are two sharp crescent-shaped inverted blades at the neck of the hook sickle gun, and the defensive range of the weapon itself is wider than that of a pure spear, and the Liao soldiers want to chop and chop at close range, the first thing to worry about is how to avoid the inverted blade, and on the battle array, many times life and death are in an instant, if the Song soldiers can flexibly use the hook and sickle gun, then even if the martial arts are poor, they can also use the advantages of the weapon itself to prevent the Liao soldiers from getting close to the maximum extent and fully grasp the weaknesses of the other party.

This advantage seems small, but in the confrontation of the army, everyone has such an advantage, and the final result will be overwhelming!

At this moment, Zhao Bufan had seen Xu Ning's hook and sickle marksmanship, and saw with his own eyes the characteristics of him and Lin Chong in the battle, and he became more and more convinced in his heart that his choice was correct, because Lin Chong was also very tricky when facing the hook and sickle spear, and the inverted blade was very restrictive to him.

After repeated confirmations, Zhao Bufan asked Suo Chao to use the war knives of the Liao people to fight Xu Ning, and the result showed an overwhelming advantage, and Shihe did not resist.

Although Suo Chao's martial arts are weaker than Xu Ning's, and he doesn't use the long-handled battle axe that he is good at, Suo Chao is a master after all, and his sword skills are not bad, so he is not so outrageous.

After the two of them finished fighting, Zhao Bufan quickly summoned several people to the point general's platform.

"Suo Chao, how did you feel about the fierce battle with Xu Ning with the Liao knife just now?"

Suo Chao looked a little depressed, and said incomprehensibly: "If the last general uses a battle axe, he will never lose so inexplicably." ”

Xu Ning was a little embarrassed on the side, he was new to the scene, he didn't want to offend Suo Chao, and hurriedly explained: "General Zhao, the last general and the commander of Suo are indeed victorious in this battle, in fact, the martial arts of the two of us should be between the two of us, it's hard to say who is strong and who is weak!"

These words were very modest, but Zhao Bufan didn't like to hear them very much, shook his head and said: "No, this battle is not for competition, I just want to know something!"

As he spoke, he looked at Suo Chao again and said solemnly: "Victory or defeat is not important, I want to know how you felt when you fought just now?"

"Feelings?"

Suo Chao frowned, and said very unconvinced: "His hook and sickle spear technique is very powerful, it is difficult for me to threaten him with this kind of Liao knife, especially the two inverted blades at the neck of the gun, which always make people always on guard, they can't advance and advance, and they are always suppressed by him when they retreat!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Bufan nodded, and turned to look at Lin Chong: "What does Commander Lin think?"

"In my personal opinion, there is indeed a lot of restraint in weapons!" Lin Chong replied.

Zhao Bufan had already made up his mind after several verifications, and immediately said to Xu Ning: "Can your hook and sickle be lengthened under the condition of ensuring that the flexibility is not greatly weakened!"

Xu Ning looked puzzled, but he still didn't ask more, thought about it and replied: "If from my personal martial arts, the current length is the most suitable, but if you want to lengthen it, it's okay, but it can't exceed four feet, otherwise it will have a great impact on the swinging speed of the spear!"

"What if it's used by ordinary soldiers?" Zhao Bufan asked urgently.

"Long-term training, then you can lengthen it by two feet, and the impact is not too big!" Xu Ning replied affirmatively.

"If you can sacrifice some flexibility appropriately to ensure the distance advantage of the Liao Dao, can it be longer!"

Xu Ning seemed to understand a little, and said in surprise: "The general wants to use it on a large scale in the cavalry?"

Zhao Bufan didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "That's right! Your weapon is very restrained by the Liao knife, I hope that soldiers with ordinary martial arts can also use the advantage of weapons to limit the Liao soldiers from close slashing on the battlefield as much as possible, so that we can avoid our own disadvantages and let the Liao soldiers be restrained everywhere!"

Lin Chong and Suo Chao's eyes lit up when they heard it instantly.

Xu Ning didn't seem to have faced this problem, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said uncertainly: "General, just now I just used myself as an analogy, but if you want ordinary soldiers to fully restrain the Liao sword, I'm afraid there are still difficulties, after all, the Khitans have advantages in riding skills and physique, and their martial arts are not weak, and the current hook and sickle style will definitely not be able to do it, even if it is longer." ”

Zhao Bufan was a little disappointed, and said regretfully: "Is it really not possible at all?"

"No!" Xu Ning's eyes flashed, and he said with certainty: "The general gave me three months, and I will improve the hook and sickle spear used by the soldiers, with my familiarity with this kind of blade, as long as I continue to experiment, I will definitely be able to make a suitable weapon!"

"Three months is too long, one month, I'll give you a month, just say what you need, in the future, the five hundred people you bring will be renamed the Golden Gun Battalion, you don't have to do anything, all of them will be practiced for me, test this, I hope to see the preliminary results in a month!"

Xu Ning gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "The last general will take the order!"

"Okay, then you go and get busy first, I don't care about the daily training of the Golden Gun Battalion, you let go of your hands and feet and do it according to your own ideas!" Zhao Bufan said with a smile.

"You can think anything?" Xu Ning said in amazement.

"Yes, don't care about those old rules, as long as you think it's appropriate and nothing happens, then you can do it boldly, I will give you the greatest support, and you will give me a result!"

"Thank you, General!" Xu Ning was overjoyed, saluted Zhao Bufan, and turned around excitedly to leave.

Suo Chao and Lin Chong both looked at him enviously, their eyes full of longing.

Zhao Bufan looked at the two of them at the moment, and immediately became happy: "What, you also have ideas?"

Lin Chong didn't speak, Suo Chao was bored, but he still couldn't hold back, and said aggrievedly: "I don't practice much of the kung fu that is allowed to be taught in the army, how can I learn it well when I hand it over to the soldiers, and the soldiers under our command will definitely not be able to compare with the Golden Gun Battalion in the future!"

"I said you can't get a suitable set of kung fu yourself and hand it over to the soldiers?" Zhao Bufan asked in surprise.

Suo Chao was stunned.

"Isn't it against military law for a general to teach soldiers martial arts without authorization? If you want to teach your own characteristic martial arts, you need to report to the Privy Council for approval!"

"It's my business to report and approve, I said yes, you just practice, and I'll take the responsibility!" Zhao Bufan smiled slightly and patted Suo Chao's shoulder. "Now you have also been transferred to the forbidden army as a commander, in the future, the five hundred people under your command will be called the axe cavalry battalion, if you are willing to get a set of axe methods to give to the soldiers, then I will equip you with all long-handled battle axes, no matter what equipment you need, I will try to find a way. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it, whether to teach martial arts or not is a personal matter, I just need to see the elite soldiers!"

"Yes, I do! I don't teach my master the housekeeping skills, just teach some simple and practical things, and even if I am willing to teach them, most of the brothers can't learn it, martial arts, or depending on fate, pick it up, then not all the world is a master!"

Suo Chao was so excited, and as he spoke, he turned around impatiently and left, as if he was particularly afraid that Zhao Bufan would regret it.

"General Zhao, you can make up your mind, I'll teach them to practice new martial arts!"

Zhao Bufan shook his head with a smile, ignored him, and looked back at Lin Chong, who looked embarrassed.

"Brother Chong, they are not here at this time, our two brothers will not hide and pinch, just say what you have!"

"Can I also ...... that" Lin Chong has a lot of scruples because of his personality, so he has always spoken very directly.

"Of course, this is the same, but the names of your five hundred people should be more special, let's call it the Right Army Tiger Battalion!" As he spoke, Zhao Bufan pressed the sword on his waist, threw off his battle robe and walked off the platform, leaving only Lin Chong with a mysterious smile.

Lin Chong was stunned, he didn't know why he chose such a strange name, but it didn't matter to him, and he quickly happily carried the iron spear.
