Chapter 73 Underground Military Workshop

The thirteenth charity was held before the incense table. Everyone drank blood wine, recited the oath, kowtowed to sort it, and set the long order. Then they were sworn brothers. Everyone was in a very good mood, and even Sima Dekan and Yang Wei, who had just been sworn together, were infected by the atmosphere and laughed. The thirteen, the oldest Cheng Lou was only thirty, the youngest came to sect only 17, and the eighteenth Ling Yun ranked ninth. In other words, the thirteenth brothers were all brave. Although Cheng Lou was not famous in history, he was born in a powerful family and could be both literary and military. As the commander-in-chief of the Jiju Cavalry Army, Cheng Lou's martial arts skills were no worse than Cheng Yaojin, the more famous son in history.

Cheng Lou was good at archery, horse riding and shooting, and his best at hitting spears on horseback. Cheng Lou had a good spear, and also had a good spear technique. In history, Cheng Yaojin later organized a village to protect the country and the people. He had a family-born spear technique, rather than chopping people with an axe in the Romance of the Romance, and only knew three axes. In fact, among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng Yaojin could rank among the top four. The first spear master was well deserved to be the old black Yuchi Gong Yuchi Jingde. Not only did he use a spear, but he also had the ability to seize spears with no one to match. In history, the other two spear masters were defeated by him. These two were the same spear masters Shan Xiongxin and Li Yuanji at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin was comparable to them.

Cheng Lou took his own horse spear and turned over his war cavalry. He improvised a spear technique for everyone in the martial arts field of Erxianzhuang, which caused cheers. As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement and experts look at the tricks. Cheng Lou took action, many guests in the village, including Ling Yun, saw that his spear technique was extraordinary. Ling Yun had to sigh, no wonder Cheng Yaojin had to join Li Mi in history, and was immediately relied on by Li Mi, and was appointed as the four generals of the internal army of Pushan Public Camp.

First, the four generals of the cavalry armed by Li Mi, the other three were Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who had followed Zhang Xutuo, the first fierce general at the end of the Sui Dynasty to defeat countless enemies, and Pei Xingyan, who was once called the enemy of ten thousand people by the Emperor of Sui. These three were all powerful generals in the army who fought on the battlefield. Cheng Yaojin was just a new recruit at that time, and was just a local tyrant in the countryside of Jeju before coming. This fully demonstrated that Cheng Yaojin's cavalry shooting skills were indeed great, especially the spear technique that surprised heroes like Li Mi.

Dou Jiande, Sun Anzu and Hao Xiaode stood aside, and they were excited and moved.

"I want to learn spear too!" Xian Niang looked fascinated.

Dou Jiande smiled and held his daughter's hand, "This spear is not something that girls can learn, and even most men cannot learn horse spears. If you want to learn some martial arts, your father can teach you how to fencing, riding and shooting in the future, but horse spears are not possible. You can at most be a spear."

"It can make the spear look so powerful, why can't women learn to be spear?"

Shan Xiongxin listened and explained with a smile: "Because horse spear is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it is the most courageous. Women are born with weak strength, so they are not suitable for learning spears." He also liked this newly recognized goddaughter very much. Although the stitch mother is small, she always has a heroic spirit. Even among a group of children, even boys are used to listening to her, and she is an amazing girl. Her daughter Ailian is only over three years old. Now she has become a stitch mother's stitch mother and is close to anyone else.

"Is the horse spear really that difficult to practice?" Xian Niang was a little disappointed. Cheng Lou Wu's elegance had left indelible traces in her little heart.

"The horse lance is difficult to practice because it is very expensive. The horse lance is very expensive because it is very difficult to make. This is not a wooden stick with an iron spear head that can be called a spear. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, horse lances have always been precious weapons, and there are standards for both material and length." Shan Xiongxin himself is a master of using spears, so when talking about spears, it is a familiar story. His horse lance skills are, but since elementary school, Zhenzhen will never forget the pain of learning spears.

It is difficult to learn a spear, and it is even more difficult to control a spear.

A good horse spear is very particular. The spear rod is not any natural log. Instead, it is necessary to take the main trunk of the high-quality tough wood, peel it into uniform thickness, and then glue it with special fish glue. In terms of material selection, the tough wood used for the spear rod is generally topped with the best-quality brace made of bows, followed by mulberry and vine. Soak the fine spear repeatedly with oil, soak it no longer deforms or cracks. This is just the first step, and this first step takes nearly a year. After a year, take out the strips and dry them in the shade for several months. Then use the fine glue paint to glue it into a thick handful of one hand, eight meters long, 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 makes a metal sound, but it keeps not cracking. This is considered qualified.

Then remove the tail and cut it to about six feet. Install the front with a steel blade and the back with a red copper spear. After continuous adjustments, the final qualified standard is that a hemp rope is hung two feet from the tail of the spear, and the entire eight-four-foot horse spear can be kept horizontal in the air and both ends are not falling. For such a horse spear, the general is riding on the horse, which ensures that it is held in the back of the spear without any effort.

Such a horse spear that takes three years to make is light, tough and strong. Generals can hold the horse's power directly to charge, or wield it in close combat. The composite spear rod is lighter and stronger than ordinary wooden rods. The glued strips and the horizontally wrapped hemp ropes and knot cloth can ensure that the horse spear can withstand more force at the same time. Such a horse spear will not be broken by force when it collides, and it is also extremely elastic. It can be truly a magic weapon for generals to fight immediately, but such a horse spear can take three years to make, and the success rate is only 40%. The wood, paint, and glue used are all extremely expensive. Therefore, the cost is often amazing. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, horse spear has always been a symbol of generals from aristocratic families.

In the Great Sui Dynasty, in addition to the military nobles using horse lances, only the imperial guards of the royal family and the clan cavalry of the royal family were equipped with standard horse lances. In other cavalry palaces and chariots, most of the precious cavalry were only used spears. Only generals from a few aristocratic families had their own horse lances.

Generally speaking, by looking at the weapons of a general, one can often infer his origin.

At this time, in Erxianzhuang, Sima Dekan, Yang Wei, Cheng Lou, came to Hu'er, Qin Qiong, who were in court officers, only Cheng Lou and Yang Wei were the ones who used horse spears. Cheng Lou and Yang Wei were both from aristocratic families. Sima Dekan, came to Hu'er, Qin Qiong, came to use guns. Even the dignified county duke and the general manager of the state of the country, used guns, which also showed their origins. Although Sima Dekan's ancestors were also military generals, his father died early when he was young and his family was defeated early.

He even had to be an apprentice of a butcher when he was young. Of course, he couldn't afford a horse spear or learn a horse spear. Qin Qiong's family was in a slightly better situation, but his ancestors were all low-level civil servants, and he couldn't learn a horse spear when he was young. Although Lai Hu'er is now the chief supervisor of the Pillar Kingdom, his father was just a county magistrate and died early. He grew up in his uncle's house since he was young. By the time he made great achievements later, he had missed the opportunity to learn a horse spear again, because a weapon like a horse spear cannot be learned in a day or two.

This dynasty could not help hunting bows and long swords, but forbidden swords, spears, strong bows, crossbows, horse lances and armor. Those who privately kept horse lances, strong bows, crossbows and big swords and spears were a serious crime, and if they were not done well, they would be convicted of rebellion. Precious weapons such as horse lances are not allowed to be traded at will. Only those wealthy families or military generals can customize and use them for their own use. For example, Shan Xiongxin, having a horse lance is actually an illegal thing. Horse lances are so precious that ordinary people cannot even have horse lances, so naturally they cannot learn spears, especially horse lances. If you learn horse lances, you must have horses first, or you must use war horses instead of horses. In addition, horse lances are of heavy weapons, and those who practice horse lances must be those who are born with great strength, which is that they cannot use them at all. There is another difficulty in learning horse lances, that is, they must have special horse lances, otherwise, it is impossible to learn without a teacher.

Various conditions and restrictions have made the horse lance a symbol of the origin of a general of aristocratic families. It is unlikely that ordinary people can learn horse lances.

Lingyun's thirteen-year-old brothers, Yang Wei, Cheng Lou, Shan Xiong, and sent spears to send spears, and were masters. In addition, Xu Gai and Su Yong also used spears because they were all local tyrants, and their family-born horse spears and spear techniques. Dou Jiande, Qin Shubao, Sima Dekan, Lai Zheng, Wang Bodang, Huang Junhan, Zhai Rang and others all used spears. Even Lingyun himself, although he could use spears, his best weapon was also a spear, which was the name of Yi Sanlang for white horses and silver spears.

"Brother Shan is worthy of being a master of horse spears. He knows so much about horse spears!" Dou Jiande said admiringly. Although Shan Xiongxin is young, his ability to do this horse spear is actually above everyone else. Cheng Lou horse spear is good, but it is a little worse than Shan Xiongxin. The biggest difference between them is actually seen from the spears on both sides. Horse spears are heavy soldiers, but Shan Xiongxin's spears are the heavier golden nail Zaoyang spears. The head of this spear is larger than an ordinary spear, and iron nails are covered with iron nails, just like a mace. This spear is more than an ordinary spear.

The spear can be much heavier, and it will feel like the head is heavy and the tail is light when used. When holding a spear, the spear is usually held in the middle and back of the spear. A normal horse spear is based on the tail of the spear and a copper sect is used as a counterweight to balance the weight. However, this kind of golden nail Zaoyang spear is too heavy in front. Although the weight of the spear is increased at the back, it is still difficult to balance. Therefore, holding a spear immediately, the front is heavy and the back is light, which requires more strength. The most powerful thing about the single messenger spear is that it is strong. The golden nail Zaoyang spear fully utilizes and expands the advantage of the red-haired little spirit official power. Cheng Lou is much worse.

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said to the newly-held brothers: "To be honest, my Shan family actually has a horse lance workshop, which specializes in making horse lances. It has been passed down since my grandfather. Now, every year, you can produce eighty horse lances, three hundred top-grade horse lances, and thousands of middle-grade horse lances. Today, you have a golden orchid with you. I will give you a rare horse lance to each brother, express your respect, and please accept them with a smile."

Dou Jiande was very happy when he heard this. Such a magic weapon as a horse lance is almost difficult to buy even if he has money. Not only because of its high value and difficulty, but the most important thing is that most horse lance craftsmen are monopolized by the court and only make spears for the court. Ordinary people want horse lances, but you don’t know where to buy them with money. Who would have thought that the Dan family actually had an underground horse lance workshop that had been passed down for several generations and produced thousands of horse lances a year?

Even Ling Yun was shocked by the side. He really didn't expect that the Shan family was an underground arms tycoon. He just didn't know how many swords, guns and armor they could produce in addition to producing thousands of horse spears annually!
