Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 474
"Aunt Qin!"

Yang Menglong saw Qin Liangyu at a glance, cheerfully left the fanatical Sichuan Army soldiers, and walked towards her, really enthusiastic.It's just that his address made Qin Yiming feel uncomfortable, Aunt Qin?When did my aunt become your aunt!If she is your aunt, then what is my nephew?Good boy, he really takes advantage of others!

Qin Liangyu cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "An old man can't be called a champion."

Yang Menglong said carelessly: "Oh, why pay so much attention to it? We are going to fight together, so we don't need to have so many stinky rules... In terms of age, I should call you grandma. Calling you Aunt Qin is an advantage... …Aunt Qin, look, I didn’t lie to you, did I? Yesterday I said I’d change the clothes of the Sichuan army, and now I’m starting to change!” He gestured with his hands, complacently saying, “[-] long spears, [-] horizontal knives, The two thousand five hundred crossbows may be replaced soon! But the crossbow armors have to wait a while, as Dengzhou does not have such a large inventory."

Qin Liangyu said in surprise: "So much equipment is worth a lot of money, isn't it? Champion, my Sichuan army is so shy, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back the money in a few years!"

Yang Menglong waved his hands again and again: "No money, no money! If you want money, I won't give you things. How about selling these weapons directly to the bombing cavalry?" He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he said with infinite yearning : "The Guanmen Sichuan Army is good at using long spears, and replaced them with the long spears of our Heluo New Army..."

Qin Liangyu corrected: "Bu lance!"

Yang Menglong said: "Almost, it looks like a spear to me!"

Qin Liangyu was angry: "Have you ever seen a long spear with a sword-like tip and a length of nearly two feet!?"

Indeed, the "long spear" of the Heluo New Army is a bit too exaggerated. Not to mention the gun barrel that is more than three meters long, the most embarrassing thing is the sword-shaped gun head that is more than fifty centimeters long!This thing is a good thing. It can be used as a spear when it is mounted, and it can be used as a dagger when it is removed. It has a very strong armor-piercing ability. It doesn't look very sharp, but if you hit it, unless you are wearing heavy plate armor, it will all be on the front. After passing through, life will be revealed.A major feature of this thing is its durability. If you put it on a tree, a big man weighing 180 pounds can hang it and do a hundred pull-ups without deformation. If you hit it against a stone, a corner of the stone will break. It's nothing. None, there really is no such spear!

Yang Menglong scratched his head and said, "Well, if you say it's a rifle, it's a rifle. Well, the Guanmen Sichuan Army is good at using long spears. After changing to rifles, they can form combat effectiveness after a short period of training. The lance hand is responsible for frontal attack to defeat the opponent, and the horizontal knife hand is responsible for clearing the enemies who rush into the phalanx, thus forming a powerful combat force. If you wear a breastplate and a helmet, there may not be many troops when you charge head-on It can withstand your full blow."

Qin Liangyu said sadly: "We don't have so many armors, we can't even afford leather armor!"

Yang Menglong slapped his chest fiercely: "It's on me!"

Qin Liangyu stared at him, feeling unreliable no matter how he looked at it.

Yang Menglong guessed what she was thinking, laughed dryly, and said: "Well, although I am not very reliable at ordinary times, I would never dare to joke about such things. It is very difficult to replace all the armors of the Sichuan army in a short time, but Just give me a few months and I can figure it out!”

Qin Liangyu lowered his voice and asked, "Why does Champion Hou treat the old man so well?"

Yang Menglong said: "Didn't you say that, Aunt Qin, you are a great heroine in the female school. I am happy to be able to do something for you! Don't be polite, if you are polite to me, I will not be happy!"

Qin Liangyu pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Well, then I'm not going to be polite to you, old man." She actually meant that she didn't have to worry about having too many debts... Are you kidding, can she still refuse this great gift?Haven't you seen that those soldiers who have been poor for several generations and suddenly see something good and turn green have already robbed their heads?If she wanted to be polite to Yang Menglong, the Nine Thousand Sichuan Army soldiers would be the first to quit!She shot like lightning, pinched Yang Menglong's face and pulled it to both sides, and said viciously: "Boy, it's just nonsense after talking for a long time, where is grandma's share? Bring it!"

You're welcome...

Yang Menglong cried out mournfully: "Yes, yes, your share has already been prepared!"

Qin Liangyu let go: "Bring it!"

Zaji Chongweng responded and handed him a rifle.Qin Liangyu took it and felt that the weight was just right. She had always felt that the pewter pole gun was too light to be used with powerful and heavy moves. The walking spear weighed eleven kilograms, which was slightly lighter than the horse spear. It was still fierce when used. Being light and agile is actually a powerful weapon when fighting against each other.The cold light on the head is dazzling, and there are clear patterns on it. These patterns are not carved on it, but formed unintentionally during repeated forging. They are very beautiful.She falsely stabbed, and said repeatedly: "What a lance, what a lance! I'm afraid that if this lance passes through, a cow will die on the spot, right?"

Yang Menglong said: "If you hit the vital point, you will be dead on the spot." He then took a long sword from Shi Tianbao and handed it over: "Aunt Qin, your sword!"

Qin Liangyu handed the spear to Qin Yiming, took the long sword, and saw that the scabbard was made of shark skin, black and shiny, but without any decoration, it looked ordinary.She took out the long sword casually, and a cold light came out of the box. This long sword is three feet long, the blade is two and a half fingers wide, the spine is thick, and the blade doesn't look very sharp, but veterans who have been on the battlefield know that This is the real sharp weapon that can be used in battle, like the kind of sword whose body is thinner than paper, and the sword will flash when you hold it, and the seemingly light sword can only be used to show off.Yang Menglong said: "This sword is made of high-carbon steel and weighs about two catties. It can cut through six rolls of straw mats side by side with one sword!"

Cutting straw mats is a common way to test the sharpness of a sword—it is just that the boar can think of using a living person or a dead body to test a knife. Usually, a roll of straw mats is fixed side by side, and then the whole body is used. Slash with strength, the more straw mats are cut, the sharper the sword is, because straw mats are very flexible and have great resistance, and inferior swords cannot cut at all.The horizontal knife of Heluo New Army standard is generally based on cutting four rolls of grass mats with one knife. Every knife must meet this standard, otherwise the craftsman will be out of luck. This long sword can cut six rolls of grass with one sword. It is not an exaggeration to say that it "cuts iron like mud".

Qin Liangyu tried to wield the long sword, only heard the howling of the wind, and the cold light was threatening. He couldn't help saying: "A good sword! It looks ordinary, but when you hold it in your hand, you always have the urge to gallop on the battlefield and charge into battle. It's really a good sword!"

Qin Yiming's eyes were so greedy, he looked at Yang Menglong pitifully, like a Chihuahua who had been starving for three days... You should give me some at least!

Yang Menglong clapped his hands, Zaji Chongweng sent another big bundle, opened it and saw it was a pair of armor.This armor, including the helmet, shoulder armor, breastplate, and greaves, is all made of fine steel, and the weight is not very heavy, including the helmet, it only weighs twenty catties.With just such a pair of armor, it is basically immune to bows and arrows, and if it is shot, it will only bounce off.Seeing it, Qin Yiming's eyes turned green!

Wu Sheng watched from the side, heartbroken: "When will our lord get rid of his habit of giving things around?"

Qi Polu said on the side: "I'm afraid I can't change it!"

Wu Sheng said heartbrokenly: "These long spears and these horizontal knives are all good things that money can't buy. He actually gave them away for nothing. I'm really mad at me!"

Qi Hu said with a smile: "Looking at the fact that the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army fought side by side and died together in the end, don't complain."

Wu Sheng immediately shut his mouth.In the Battle of Hunhe that year, the white soldiers fought side by side with the Zhejiang Army, and fought bloody battles with the Eight Banners Army. Even Nurhachi was shocked by their strong fighting power and tenacious will.In the end, the captured artillery of the Ming army turned their guns and bombarded the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army, disrupting the phalanx. The Eight Banners army took the opportunity to attack, and both were wiped out by the banks of the Hun River. In the end, they were all killed in the Battle of Shenyang.This is a friendship made of blood. Although the Qi family army no longer exists, every descendant of the Qi family army firmly remembers this friendship.

Over there, the Sichuan army has already received their equipment, [-] rifles and [-] horizontal knives, which are regarded as replacements for shotguns.It's a pity that there are not so many strong crossbows, and there are still [-] Sichuan soldiers who have to continue to use white guns very aggrieved.Those who got the new equipment showed off their equipment everywhere, and then looked at those who did not get the equipment, both sympathized and despised: Poor, we have all used cross knives and rifles, and you are still using this rubbish white pole gun!Everyone was in high spirits, Yang Menglong jumped onto the platform and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, I have something to say!"

The generals of the Sichuan army immediately calmed down, and looked at Yang Menglong with a smile, as if they were looking at a taker who was just throwing money around when he had nothing to do.

Yang Menglong coughed and said: "Well, the equipment has been sent to you. There won't be any large-scale wars in the past few days. Everyone must seize the time to train, adapt to the new equipment, and prepare for the next decisive battle! This The First World War was related to the fate of the Han people in Liaodong, and attracted the attention of the whole country..."

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army started to boo, "Zhou Champion, we don't understand what you are saying. We just do what you ask us to do. Say something that we can understand and can boost our morale!"

Yang Menglong was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Add vegetables tonight, eat pickled vegetables and fatty meat!"

The soldiers of the Jiuqianchuan Army shouted loudly: "Okay!!!" The roar made the ground in Lushun City tremble violently, which shows how encouraging Yang Menglong's words are.

Yang Menglong continued: "I have sent the fleet back to Dengzhou to deliver equipment, and your armor and crossbow will be delivered in a few days!"

The roar of the generals of the Sichuan Army almost shook the clouds in the sky: "Good!!!" This roar was really earth-shattering, like a thunderstorm, even wandering around the barbed wire fence, thinking hard How to deal with this nasty barbed wire, the Hou Jin soldiers were also taken aback, staring at Lushun City suspiciously, muttering in their hearts: "What is going crazy with those smart dogs?"

Yue Tuo sighed: "The Ming army has another reinforcement arriving in Lushun, this battle will be even more difficult!"

Mang Gurtai said in a low voice: "Old Ba is too impatient! Now the wind direction, climate, and seasons are all favorable to the Ming Kingdom. Once the beacon fire is ignited in Lushun, the Ming Kingdom's reinforcements will immediately come in a steady stream, turning this isolated city into a city. It’s a tough nut to crack! We should wait a few more months until winter, when the Yellow Sea is frozen for thousands of miles, and the Ming army’s warships cannot go to sea before we take action!”

All the generals agreed.Although Mang Gurtai has strong limbs and a simple mind, he has experienced hundreds of battles after all, and he can see the key to the problem at a glance: now is indeed not the time to attack Lushun!

Du Du looked helpless: "Who would have thought that the Ming court would really pour out the whole country's elite to reinforce this lonely city?"

Du Du was telling the truth: maybe he was eager to use a big victory to boost the morale of the Eight Banners Army due to the heavy casualties in the Dalinghe Battle, or maybe he was eager to knock down the booming momentum of Dongjiang Town and stabilize Liaodong In the rear, Huang Taiji, who has always been cautious, finally made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and launching an attack on the wrong city at the wrong time. He never expected that Daming's reaction would be so fierce, and he ignored the chaos in the northwest and Jianghan. The whole country's elite soldiers came to support Lushun, and they will fight against the Eight Banners Army in Lushun!This mistake is about to cost the Eight Banners Army a heavy price. The current predicament of being unable to fight and unable to retreat is just the beginning.

When later generations commented on this period of history, they all said that the Battle of the Daling River was the watershed of Huang Taiji's life. Before the Battle of the Daling River, he could be regarded as wise and wise. After the battle of Dalinghe, the goddess of luck seemed to have left him, and he began to stumble and lose ground, and the fortune of Houjin also took a sharp turn for the worse.
