Chapter 228: The Great Song's Weapon
Ling Lingqi walked in this arsenal, he almost couldn't help but exclaim, seeing this arsenal, he understood why the Great Song Dynasty could still stand tall when the West fell in more than a year, and when the strength of Meng Yuan became stronger and stronger, the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty were really advanced, and they were definitely the countries with the most advanced weapons in this era.
In the corner of the wall, more than a dozen foot armor were hung on the shelf, wrapped with iron boots, armor made of iron blades, and thick helmets with masks.
Seeing that Ling Lingqi's gaze did not leave the step armor, the old soldier wiped his beard and explained with a smile, " Our Great Song Dynasty has no horses, but on foot but can not compete with the cavalry, this step of the armor weighs dozens of catties, the whole body is armored, if it is neatly arranged, holding spears, knives and giant axes, it has the power to fight with the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, the most famous is that General Yue Peng once killed two thousand Mengyuan cavalry with a thousand step armor, but this step of the armor is heavier, ordinary people, after wearing it, I am afraid that I can't carry a knife and gun, I think the little brother is strong and strong, but you can try!"
"Uncle Xie, the kid just looks fresh, but there is no need to wear it, we will ride a horse later, and put on the ordinary chain skirt mail!" Liu Meng smiled.
"Let's do it, it was just fixed last month. As he spoke, he took down a set of iron armor from the shelf on the other side, and when it shook it, it made a loud noise, and it looked quite heavy.
The chain mail is inlaid with iron armor, the battle skirt style, shoulder pads, and heart guards are complete, and the whole body is pitch black, and it has not had time to paint, but the black iron armor also shows a strong protective force, and then buckles a helmet worn by an ordinary school, which is pressed on the body There are twenty or thirty pounds, and it is also weight-reduced, if it is fully equipped, it will be at least forty or fifty pounds.
Lao Xiangjun used his decades of old military age to help them choose equipment, each of them was dressed in skirt armor, needless to say, the spear is a must-have, but it is not the heavier, the better, selected a spear as thick as a duck's egg and handed it to Ling Lingqi, the gun barrel is the best ash pole, and it is soaked in tung oil several times, it is so tough that the knife is constantly chopped, and the gun head is a hundred refined steel, but it is a spear inadvertently left by a general who died in battle on the front line, which is by no means comparable to ordinary flower guns.
Although the barrel of this spear is wooden, it is also very heavy, afraid of no less than twenty catties, shaking up both rigid and soft, can stab and shake, Ling Lingqi was surprised, this is the best weapon he has ever touched, compared to the white wax rod gun seen in later generations, it is simply a feeling of passing from three or eight big covers to five or six and a half.
"Brother Meng...... There are still some firearms here!" shouted a villager, and several other people also ran over to see what was new.
Ling Lingqi looked at these firearms with some confusion, there were already tubular firearms in the Song Dynasty, such as the original version of the assault gun rocket or something, and even some gunpowder weapons such as splitting thunderballs.
However, the application of firearms in the war is not very large, mainly because the power of gunpowder weapons at this time is not very strong, and the assault rifle of the bamboo tube can only be regarded as scaring people with loud noises, which is not as pleasant as the giant crossbow, and even the cost is much higher than that of the giant crossbow.
As for those gunpowder weapons such as splitting thunderballs, they are not so much gunpowder weapons as they are incendiary weapons, and the gunpowder should be mixed with toxic substances such as arsenic and croton, and then it is thrown out with a long-range weapon such as a catapult to achieve the purpose of burning, and being burned by this poisonous smoke is basically considered useless.
Liu Meng was also dumbfounded, although he was also a little excited, but this thing is big, gunpowder transportation is troublesome, and the power is not very great, it is better to bring a few more bows and a few pots of arrows.
Seeing that Liu Meng gave up his gunpowder weapons and chose a few more good bows and arrows, Lao Xiangjun smiled and nodded, and sent them away very politely.
Master Gao really fulfilled his promise, and of the dozens of horses they had captured, they selected twenty of the strongest ones and gave them to use.
In fact, people in this era will not make promises casually, a promise, and even take a lifetime to repay, and only in this era will there be a meeting in Pingshui, and you can entrust your wife and children.
At this time, Yue Peng and Yuya Palace Master also followed the county order, and seeing Ling Lingqi safe and sound in front of them, both of them stepped forward and hugged Ling Lingqi, and the townsmen and the county order were stunned!
The Yuya Palace Lord burst into tears, grabbed Ling Lingqi's arm and said, "Seventh brother, are you worried about me to death! You haven't come to the agreed place, I thought you were in danger, tell me what the hell is going on, how did you find here?"
A series of questions, Ling Lingqi didn't know where to start, after thinking about it, he told the Yuya Palace Lord and Yue Peng what had happened in recent days, of course he wouldn't talk about those things with Liu Xu'er.
After listening to Ling Lingqi's statement, the Yuya Palace Lord said worriedly: "Then have all the poisons on your body been removed?" I heard that there is no cure for the poison of the Ghost Gate, but I didn't expect you to be able to eliminate it by yourself, are you a heavenly immortal?"
Looking at the concerned eyes of the palace master of Yuya, Ling Lingqi comforted her and said: "Yuya, in fact, the internal skills I practice are quite unique, and they just happen to be able to restrain toxins, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you! Now, I'm here to join you and fight against the Mongolian Tartars together! And these villagers behind me, they also want to join the Yue family's army and kill the Tartars!"
Yue Peng looked at those village warriors, after the previous battle, the spirit of these village warriors was different from ordinary village warriors, Yue Peng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, no problem! As long as it is a warrior who wants to kill the Tartars, we are all welcome! It's just that among our rebels, there is not such a good treatment, you must be mentally prepared!"
Liu Meng replied on behalf of the villagers: "General Yue, don't worry, as long as we can kill the Tartars, defend our hometown, and avenge our dead relatives, we are not afraid of anything!"
Yue Peng nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you! In this way, you can go back to the township first, say goodbye to your relatives, and then we will go to the barracks." ”
Liu Meng nodded and said, "Okay, General Yue, please wait for us for half a day!"
When Liu Meng rushed back to the countryside with his fellow villagers, he was dressed in armor and rode a tall horse, although the Mongolian horse was still relatively short, not as tall as the tall Arab horse, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this horse was quite tall.
Liu Meng dismounted, the iron armor on his body collided, and there was a loud noise, Zhang leaned against the door, looked at his tall and majestic son, and couldn't help but cry again.
In the Song Dynasty, the industry and commerce were important, and naturally they also valued the adventure, although the Zhang family was reluctant to have his son, and hugged him and cried vigorously, but he never said a word of retention.
"My son is going to make meritorious contributions and protect the family for the country, my mother is happy, rest for a while, and my mother will make a bowl of soup for my son!" Zhang said, so he cooked, slaughtered an old hen, and boiled a thick chicken soup. (To be continued.) )
