Dawei Fanghua

The most common weapon equipped by the Wei army, and perhaps the Wu and Han armies, was the Huanshou Sword.

Most of the Wei army's Huanshou swords are five feet long (more than one meter), with the longest being eight feet. They are generally equipped with cavalry and infantry, and at least half of them are equipped with one.The Huanshou sword that Wu Jun had thrown on the battlefield was about four feet long.

The Huanshou knife is a slender straight knife with a thickened spine suitable for battlefield slashing.The shape is similar to the horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty, but there is an iron ring at the end of the handle, which can be tied with a cloth strip and wrapped around the wrist to prevent the weapon from falling off on the battlefield.

Qin Liang then continued to check the cavalry equipment on the school grounds.

During the discussion just now, the Changshan spear used by Xiong Shou, the commander of the cavalry army (Captain of [-]), was one of the cavalry weapons. It was slightly longer than the ordinary infantry spear, mainly because the iron spear head in front was longer and heavier.

But the horse stick is not the most commonly used weapon by cavalry. Many cavalry use an iron bar with an iron ball on the head, which is not long.Some horse-riding generals carry a weapon called a halberd, which is similar to the metal part beginning with the word "D". The halberd can be thrown, and it can be used to hit the opponent before a close encounter.

Qin Liang looked around and found that the weapons of the cavalry were the most diverse. Except for mounted archery and close combat, the cavalry did not seem to be divided into different types of arms.There are also people who carry bows and arrows for horseback shooting, but cavalrymen who are good at galloping shooting skills may be relatively scarce, and many people will still stop and shoot again.

There is indeed a lag in the development of equipment.Qin Liang couldn't help but said: "The Kingdom of Wu does not have many cavalry. Our cavalry mainly deals with infantry, but it is equipped with a large number of medium, short and long weapons. Long weapons should be more advantageous against infantry, right?"

Yang Wei, the riding capital, said: "Use whatever you can."

Qin Liang did not speak immediately. He directly led a horse and found a horse pole. Then he said: "We can arrange manpower as soon as possible to make a new batch of spears. The wooden poles are lengthened and the iron tips are smaller to avoid stabbing." Hit top-heavy.”

The generals all had surprised expressions when they saw Qin Liang holding the horse pole and skillfully turning on his horse.

Maybe Qin Liang didn't look like a fierce man riding a horse to kill.His face was relatively white. He had tanned a bit while doing farm work in his hometown, but after staying in Cao Shuang's mansion in Luoyang for half a year, he turned white again.What's more, Qin Liang is wearing a blue robe today, which is not convenient for riding a horse.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Liang simply put one hand of Ma Shan under his arm, and moved his right hand forward to support the wooden pole. "Drive!" he shouted, lightly kicked the horse's belly, then held the horse's hawser with one hand, tilted the front end down, and rushed forward with his gun.

Of course, Qin Liang was not good at fighting immediately, mainly because he lacked experience in riding and using long weapons, but the tactical movement just now was not complicated and there was no problem in doing it.

After charging for a while, Qin Liang tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed back. At this time, he waved the horse's shaft with both hands.It seems that even if the cavalry charges with a spear and a gun, they can change their movements and use the usual two-handed swing of the spear, which does not have to be so rigid.

The generals discussed it for a while, and they probably felt that the new trick played by Qin Liang, a civil servant, was a bit incredible. The most important thing was that it could not be verified on the battlefield for a while.Fortunately, the changes made by Qin Liang were not major, and the weapons and tactical movements were very simple, so no one immediately objected.

Just add some longer spears. The simplest and cheapest thing in the ordnance is the spear.A wooden pole and a spear head require less iron.

Moreover, these generals also wanted to give Qin Liang face.

Some values ​​​​of the world, such as giving a peach to someone in return for a Qiong Yao, have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after many years of subtle influence, even among illiterate people.Therefore, when some officials in ancient times were dealing with barbarians who had just established diplomatic relations, they would often say that they were "afraid of power but not moral." This was prejudice. After all, others had not experienced the influence of the Book of Songs and could not be born with the same ideas in life.For example, when Qin Liang had the upper hand before, he gave in to Xiong Shou, so he could only do it here.If he goes outside, maybe the other party thinks Qin Liang is easy to bully and wants to further test the bottom line.

After working for a long time, Qin Liang said goodbye to the troops.After returning to the governor's office, he immediately began to formulate a training plan without exception, and then copied a copy of the plan and sent it to the governor Sun Li.At the same time, someone was sent to deliver documents and inform the governor's office, informing the governor's office that if they wanted to use the school grounds in the north of the city, they could notify the governor's office in advance.

The next training session went relatively smoothly.Sun Li's troops often conduct large-scale drills in the north of the city, which naturally caused the officials in Shouchun City to discuss and pay attention to it, which was inevitable.

Once at a banquet at the Governor's Mansion, Qin Liang, who had not been noticed much before, was also toasted by several people, and people took the opportunity to come up and talk.

A county guard asked: "Wu Jun will really enter the country this autumn?"

Qin Liang had no choice but to answer: "It's still a guess, but be prepared. The king's governor has ordered that the garrison and state and county soldiers be summoned before autumn to train if there is nothing to do, and to prepare for war if there is something to do."

Everyone sighed.But it’s not surprising. Wei and Wu often fought with each other. Every three to five years, blood would flow out and the whole body would feel weak.

Wang Ling's eldest son Wang Guang was also at the banquet today and said: "Zhongming is good at poetry, works on scriptures, and is familiar with music. Unexpectedly, he is determined to serve in the army... I have three brothers, among whom the second and third brothers are the favorite. They are very brave in wielding swords and spears. If I have a chance, I can introduce them to Zhongming, and maybe they can get along well with Zhongming."

Qin Liang smiled and bowed, "I would be honored to meet these two generals."

Wang Guangdao: "Today at the banquet, the atmosphere of beacon smoke is getting thicker. How about Zhongming and his servants playing short flutes and cymbals to cheer up the nobles?"

Sun Li also spoke: "This music is just in time for the occasion."

When Qin Liang heard this, he had no choice but to agree. He could not ruin his lord's elegance unless necessary.Then the guards found two musical instruments and also sent a roll of musical scores. These two musical instruments are also available in the army, which is convenient.

After another preparation, Qin Liang and his old partner Wang Guang knelt down beside the musical instruments and began to add programs to the banquet.

The cymbals were originally created as military music. Wang Guang's whistle blew briefly, and a vigorous and tragic atmosphere immediately filled the hall.Qin Liang heard the rhythm clearly and struck the cymbal accordingly.The chilling atmosphere of the fighting and the iron horses joined in, and the guests put down their chopsticks and listened to the music of war.

I have to say that Qin Liang and Wang Guang get along quite well.This time, he used percussion to accompany Wang Guang, and there was no rehearsal in advance, but there were no faults in the ensemble.The main rhythm is the sound of Xiao, Qin Liang stops and starts, and adds percussion at the right moment to increase the layering of the Xiao.

Things in the world are so imperfect. People who look beautiful and like them may be awkward to get along with and don't understand each other on the inside, just like Qin Liang's wife in his previous life.And it's not easy to meet someone who is a close friend, have a good conversation, and like each other, but it's often a bearded person like Wang Guang.
