"This is an open and honest battle." Wendeng Camp coach Lin Wei shouted loudly, looking at Li Jing and Feng Liang in front of him. "You must pay attention to protecting yourself, fight and fight, and everything will stop. No matter who wins or loses, I don't want to affect the relationship between the two sides."
In the afternoon autumn sun, Li Jing looked very calm, as if enjoying the warmth of autumn. Li Jing was more than six feet tall and handsome. Especially at this time, he was calm and calm, which added a bit of coldness to him. Li Jing did not hesitate about the battle proposed by Princess Xihe. At this time, he was wearing the family-born mountain text armor given by the old village chief. The two unicorns on his shoulders swallowed their shoulders and opened their eyes wide open, especially because they were more domineering after gilding. The phoenix winged wings made of copper and iron spread their wings on both sides, protecting their ears, and also clasped half of Li Jing's face. The cowhide nailed with rivets protects Li Jing's neck firmly.
The complete set of mountain armor weighing thirty kilograms is paired with phoenix winged trunks, kirin shoulder swallowing, lion sliver belt and shin armor, cloud-headed black leather boots. It carries a seven-foot jade tool, a six-dozen horn bow with one stone, a three-foot three-standard horizontal knife hanging on the waist, a one-foot three-foot hard pole spear in hand, and a five-foot tall black war horse.
Li Jing was fully armed and looked directly at Feng Liang opposite him. He didn't know before that Feng Liang was a playboy, but even now he knew that when Princess Xihe proposed to fight between the two, Li Jing still agreed very readily. No, but he had long disliked Feng Liang and wanted to take this opportunity to slapped his majesty.
Feng Liang seemed to have the same idea as Li Jing. At this time, he had long lost the previous embarrassment that had been snatched by Lin Wei with his bare hands, and almost fainted. He was obviously determined to win this battle with Li Jing, and had already replaced it with a complete set of cloaks. The same phoenix winged puppet and mountain literary armor, but the whole armor was painted with a layer of bright red color outside, shining extremely.
In addition to the horizontal sword and long bow, Feng Liang chose not as a spear, but as a horse lance.
It was a hideous weapon that was 1,3,8 feet long and more than four meters long. The thick and one-holding compound spear rod, the fine steel spear tip that was 3,3 feet long, and the three-edged blade that was more than two feet long showed the glory of this first weapon in cavalry warfare everywhere.
Looking at the spear, Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little envious, and everyone's accusation sound came from around him.
The predecessor of the spear was a spear, but compared with the spear, its performance was several times higher. It can be said that, especially with the beginning of armored cavalry equipment in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, cavalry became the decisive force to dominate the world. The Xianbei Murong clan established the Yan Kingdom, and the Di people established the Former Qin Dynasty. From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties was an era of cavalry duels. This environment created the development of cavalry weapons and armor.
Because of the heavy iron cavalry equipped with armored cavalry, the weapon with super armor-breaking ability, such as the horse lance, has become the first weapon in cavalry warfare.
There are many processes for making a horse spear. The trunk of the top tough wood is taken, peeled into uniform thickness, and glued together. The most important thing is to use tough wood for bows. The second is mulberry, oak, vine, and the worst is to use bamboo. Soak the fine silk repeatedly with oil. The soaking is no longer deformed and no longer cracked. The first step is completed. This process takes nearly a year. After a year, the strips are taken out and the shade is dry for several months. Then use high-quality glue paint to glue into a thick handful of 8 feet long (note, this Han ruler, Tang ruler is 1,3 feet and 8 inches, and about four meters), and wrap the outer layer with hemp rope. When the hemp rope is dry, apply raw paint and wrap it with kudzu cloth. Dry it and wrap it with layer after layer until it is cut with a knife. The spear rod is
It makes a metal sound but it keeps not cracking. Only in this way can it be considered qualified. Then remove its head and tail and cut it to about six feet. The front is equipped with the head of the fine steel spear, and the back is equipped with a red copper spear. Continuously adjusting, the standard for qualification is to hang a hemp rope two feet at the tail of the spear. The entire 8-inch horse spear can not fall or fall in the air like a scale rod. In this way, the general can hold the spear tip forward without any effort. The spear made in this way is light, tough, and strong. The general can hold it directly and charge with the horse's power, or wield it to fight in close combat. However, the entire spear takes three years and the success rate is only 40%, so the cost is amazing. Therefore, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the horse spear has always been a symbol of generals from aristocratic families.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty to the time when the powerful aristocratic families in the Sui and Tang dynasties were ruled and led by the army, many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty had a very long bloodline, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. For example, the Zheng family in Xingyang originated from the five major aristocratic families in the Central Plains, including Zheng Xuan, Zhaojun Li, Qinghe Boling Cui, Fanyang Lu, Taiyuan Wang family. The Li family in Longxi can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the powerful but expensive weapon of the spear can only be assembled by a few nobles, while ordinary literati nobles, bureaucrats, and gorgeous swords are enough to show their identity. Only aristocrats who need to lead troops to fight need practical cavalry weapons. Therefore, the combination of the spear and generals from aristocrats became its symbol.
Cao Cao, who was born in a family of officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once said, "I held this spear, broke the Yellow Turban, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Yuan Shao, went deep into the north, went straight to Liaodong, and dominated the world, and lived up to the ambition of a real man." Many famous generals in history, especially famous generals from the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, were basically masters of using spears.
The gun was not a formal cavalry weapon during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, generals fought either spears or spears. During the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, they slowly appeared in the battlefield as the spears retreated.
A spear evolved from a spear, but the values of the two are very different.
The spear rod of the horse lance is a composite pulverized wood pole. It is made of a fine pulverized pole soaked in oil and dried, and then bonded with fish sponge glue. Then wrap the hemp rope horizontally, and then put it into the spear rod to force horizontally, then apply raw lacquer and wrap it with gauze cloth to form a whole spear rod. Moreover, in the design of the spear, the design principle of the spear is first considered to pierce and armor-breaking. The sharp blade of the horse lance is obvious armor-breaking edges, ordinary fish scale chain mail, iron round armor, and bright light armor, under the armor-breaking spear blade, can penetrate the heart with one blow. In the fierce collision of heavy iron cavalry equipped with armor-breaking riding, either dead or injured, this kind of armor-breaking horse lance with armor-breaking characteristics is an inevitable product.
The spears are mostly made of hard rod logs, but the natural growth direction of this primitive wood pole cannot be fully reflected in stresses in multiple directions at the same time. Therefore, ancient Chinese weapons masters invented composite poles. In terms of physical structure, multiple uniform rods are bonded and then tied horizontally by rope tendons, which can be explained from the perspective of structural mechanics. It can increase the stress ability in different directions than the natural stress direction of any primitive wood.
The materials used to make a horse lance are enough to make thirty strong zhemu bows, and the success rate of horse lance is only 40%. The materials for making a horse lance are as high as 75 zhemu bows. It takes three years to make a zhemu bow and is worth 5,000 cents. If you count it, a horse lance is worth 370 straits at the lowest.
A spear worth 370,000 yuan per piece is just the most ordinary horse spear. If it is made by a famous artist, it is even more precious, often more than ten times that of an ordinary spear. A spear is worth a hundred gold and a thousand gold coins. For a general, it is expected to have a good war horse, but having a horse spear produced by a famous artist or just an ordinary horse spear is an incomparable dream.
Feng Liang's horse spear is a famous product, worth hundreds of gold and equivalent to 800,000 copper coins. Such a precious horse spear, a direct descendant of the Feng family in Bohai, is just one of the more precious gifts he received when he was ten years old.
Riding on the horse, Feng Liang looked proudly at everyone's envy of the horse spear in his hand, and smiled and danced a few moves, "It's better to add some more lottery than fighting. The horse spear in my hand was made by Master Yuwen Xin, the master of spear making, and it's worth a hundred gold. As long as Li Sanlang can defeat me, I will give this spear to you."
Everyone present exclaimed in surprise when they heard this. The horse spear produced by a famous master worth 800,000 yuan became the first one. This made everyone who dreamed of having a horse spear wished they could immediately replace Li Jing so that they could take the horse spear off.
"I won the horse spear and belong to me. OK, I'm missing a handy horse spear. So what are you waiting for? Let's start!" Li Jing was not afraid at all when facing Feng Liang's arrogance.
"Wait!" Feng Liang reached out and shook his hand: "If you win, the horse spear will naturally belong to you. But what if you lose?"
Loss? Although Li Jing has not officially fought with Feng Liang, he had seen Lin Wei grab Feng Liang's spear with empty hands before, and he would knock Feng Liang down with one round. Although he thought he would definitely not have Lin Wei's ability, he was not worried about losing to Feng Liang's hand. "If I lose, everything will be up to you!"
"Okay!" Feng Liang heard this and immediately laughed, "This is what you said. In front of so many people, you probably won't be able to regret it. If I beat you, I don't want anything else to do. I just need all the equipment on you, a set of mountain armor, a jade sword, a rhinoceros horn bow, a war horse and a horizontal knife. These things can be worth a little together. Although they cannot be equal to this spear, as long as you lose, you will take off your equipment and clothes and go around the schoolyard naked, then even if they are matched, what if they are not equal."
Li Jing put the spear flat and sneered: "Yes, but if you lose, you also have to circle around the field with a bare body. You dare to face the challenge!"
