PS: (Today, I continue to thank the book friend "The Group is Yuan" for the reward!) My work "Tianlong Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 258 Heartbreaker, Poisonous.") Into the secret sound, the legend of the plan (8) gifts", http:///Book/3058817.aspx)

Xiao Feng still had to continue to distinguish, Dongfang Undefeated had already said to Yelu Hongji again: "Big brother, the soldiers are very fast, if you want to defeat the enemy, let's not grind here! This plan was made by the younger brother, so naturally we can't let others take such a big risk." And if it's someone else, to say something that doesn't know the depths, the younger brother is afraid that he doesn't have the ability to defend his position with one enemy and ten!"

Hearing Dongfang Undefeated say so resolutely, Yelu Hongji's heart was agitated, he grabbed her side, held her hands, and said: "Brother, Brother Dongfang, if you win this battle, my brother's country will be shared with you in the future." When I said this, I couldn't help but shed tears.

Dongfang Undefeated hurriedly knelt down and said, "Big brother, you really hurt the little brother when you say this." ”

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said, "You don't joke, the eldest brother will give you two gifts as a voucher first." Then he issued an order to the outside of the tent: "Come on, take my dragon soul lance and phoenix feather armor and give them to the Dongfang brothers!"

After a short time, two big men carried a horse lance more than a zhang long, and three attendants came up with a set of red armor, and when they got close, Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said to Dongfang Undefeated: "Brother Dongfang, these two things are the treasures in my Daliao armory! Your eldest brother and I only hold them in my hands and put them on my body on important occasions, and now I will give them to you." You can use them to kill thieves and serve the country!"

Dongfang Undefeated took over the long lance and red armor, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good lance!

A lance is a spear that is used on horses. Unlike the wooden poles used in the rifles, the ordinary lances are made of the trunk of high-quality tough wood, peeled into a uniform thickness, and glued.

The toughest wood is the most used for bows, followed by mulberry, oak, and rattan, and the worst is also made of bamboo. Soak the fine scorn in oil repeatedly. The bubble is no longer deformed, no longer cracked. The first step was completed, and the process took almost a year.

After a year, the strip is removed. Air-dry in the shade for months. After gluing with high-quality glue paint into a handful of thick, more than one zhang long, the outer layer is wound with hemp rope. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly and apply raw lacquer. Wrapped in arrowroot cloth.

Lacquer on kudzu cloth. Dry a layer and wrap a layer until you cut it with a knife, and the mallet makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack, so it is qualified.

Then go to its head and tail, truncated to about six zhang. The front is equipped with a stainless steel lance, and the rear is a red copper lance. Constantly adjusted, the qualified standard is to use a hemp rope to hang two feet at the tail of the lance. The whole lance can be like a weighing pole in mid-air, and the ends of the two ends will not fall or fall.

In this way, the generals rode on horses. in order to keep the tip of the lance forward without the slightest effort. The resulting lance is light, tough, and strong. Generals can charge with horsepower, or swing them in melee combat.

It's just that the whole lance takes three years, and the success rate is only 40%, so the cost is surprisingly high. Therefore, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the horse lance has always been a symbol of the generals from the family.

In fact, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear is this thing, the front end of the lance is similar to a short sword, which can be cut and sharpened, and there is usually a lingering complex under the blade, so that the war horse will not penetrate the opponent when charging at high speed.

A better quality lance is forged in one piece with an iron rod under the blade. The iron rod is wrapped with tough wood or bamboo, glued with shellac, fish bladder glue and pig skin glue, and then brushed with lacquer to close it, keep it from dehydration and cracking, wrap hemp rope outside, soak it in tung oil, paint it after drying, wrap it in kudzu cloth, and then paint it when it dries, usually weigh about fifteen to twenty pounds, and it will not be able to use it if it is not fierce.

And the dragon soul lance that Dongfang Undefeated has now received in his hand, from the head of the lance, to the lance, to the lance, and then to the lance, the whole body is made of stainless steel, weighing seventy-two catties, and ordinary people need two people to work together to lift it. A giant dragon snake coiled on it, and the dragon's mouth was engraved on the tip of the spear, as if swallowing clouds and spitting mist. The lance is gold-plated, extremely tough, not afraid of fire, not afraid of water immersion.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the phoenix feather chain armor, which was imported from the Western Regions into the Liao State by a hundred refining iron cast into its 2,348 phoenix tail feather-like nail leaves, and then connected with gold wires, with a total weight of more than 60 catties. The large stainless steel round guard in the middle of the chest is unique to the Liao Dynasty.

The word "Khitan" in the Khitan ethnic group originally means iron, which means solid. The main body of this armor is made of iron, and its symbolism can be seen.

Dongfang was undefeated with this divine weapon, and suddenly had a big heart, and under the urgency of the war, he didn't fake politeness with Yelu Hongji, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you eldest brother for such a precious gift, the younger brother will definitely use them to sweep away the thieves, restore the rivers and mountains for the eldest brother, and live up to the trust of the eldest brother!"

Yelu Hongji helped her up and said with a smile: "Haha, so good, so good!"

Yelu Hongji took Dongfang undefeated out of the tent, ordered the army and horses, and sent Xiao Sizhong to take a group of concubines and Ah Zi to a fortress on the top of the vast mountain, settled properly, and led their troops to meet the enemy.

Before leaving, Dongfang Undefeated also deliberately handed over the poison needles, poisonous nails, poisonous stingers and other hidden weapons he had searched from Ah Zi's body, more than a dozen medicine bottles, and the "Shenmu Wang Ding" to Xiao Sizhong, and asked him to return it to Ah Zi on his behalf, in case of emergency.

Dongfang Undefeated knows in his heart that although his name is "Undefeated", victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and he may not be defeated this time.

Once the front line under the vast mountain is lost, and the enemy army rushes up the mountain, if Ah Zi doesn't even have a self-defense blade by his side, it will be very bad.

Under the undefeated arrangement in the east, although Yelu Hongji led more than 200,000 people to the northern front, she only took away the banners used by the 100,000 army, and the 20,000 horses under her command insisted on planting flags representing more than 100,000 horses around the position.

In this way, at the same time, the king of Chu and the imperial uncle were deceived at the same time, so that each of them thought that they had to deal with an army of more than 100,000 soldiers.

The king of Chu, Nelugu, was arrogant, and seeing that the enemy's strength was only half of his own, he greatly underestimated the enemy, so of course he chose to march quickly, in a vain attempt to defeat Yelu Hongji in one fell swoop.

And his father, Chongyuan, was calm and spicy, and when he saw so many people coming from the other party, he didn't dare to act rashly, but only wanted to fight steadily, step by step, and then defeat the enemy.

All this is in the undefeated calculations of the East!

In order to reduce his own casualties, Yelu Chongyuan transferred a lot of stone throwers to bombard the undefeated wooden wall in the east, and when the wall was destroyed, he attacked with cavalry and took the southern front in one go.

From a distance, in Yelu Chongyuan's camp, hundreds of catapults stood proudly like a forest, and under the cover of tens of thousands of soldiers, they slowly pressed towards the position guarded by the undefeated in the east.

Dongfang Undefeated saw this formation, and secretly praised himself: "The army marches slowly, its ranks are as orderly as the forest of trees, and its Xu is like a forest, this imperial uncle really knows the soldiers." Our troops must be as solid as a mountain, unshakable, and immobile as a mountain before we can meet the enemy. Then he turned his head and ordered his men to lean against the wooden wall and bend their bows and arrows, and wait for the enemy to enter the firing range before shooting.

Seeing the dense stone throwers in front of him, Dongfang Undefeated couldn't help the ups and downs of thought, recalled the records in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" he had read, and thought about how to deal with it.

It is said that in the late Spring and Autumn period of the Yue Kingdom, the primitive "artillery" weapon that could throw a 12-pound stone to a distance of 200 steps was used to fish for a long time.

Later, Cao Cao also used a stone machine, and the "thunderbolt" used to hit Yuan Shao's camp in the "Battle of Guandu" was a stone machine with a loud sound when launched.

There are also many records of the use of stone machines in the Tang Dynasty, for example, when Li Tao attacked Liaodong, the stone machine used could throw a very heavy stone ball a mile away.

The stone cannon of the Song Dynasty has developed greatly on the basis of the previous generation. (To be continued......)
