In the northeast of Suiyang, on the banks of the Huoshui River, two armies were fighting fiercely.

The Liang army in Bozhou intercepted the Qi army that was fleeing west here. Because this was the only direction for the other party to escape, the Liang army was well prepared.

But I underestimated it: the Qi army has a lot of horse preparations, so even if they traveled a long distance and changed their horse preparations after the battle, they were not tired at all.

The opponent moves very quickly and can detour on a large scale. The gathering and separation of each part is like a flowing flow.

For Liang Jun, his side had a well-prepared blow, as if he had hit a pool of water. He had already hit it and the opponent was also divided, but he was only injured by flesh and blood and soon recovered as before.

Then he rushed over with his teeth and claws.

The "hunters" who failed to fight the "tiger" and died in one blow, gradually fell into a hard battle.

Fortunately, they prepared in advance and had the defensive weapon of "barbed wire" from Xuzhou, so the infantry was able to gather into several circular formations to resist the harassment of enemy cavalry.

The Liang army cavalry shuttled between the formations and drove away the approaching enemy cavalry.

However, because of the disadvantage in number, the Liang cavalry had to hide in the formation from time to time to avoid the pursuit of enemy cavalry.

However, the angry Qi army did not intend to let go of the "roadblocking dog" easily. They raided Xuzhou military farmland area without asking for anything, and were full of anger and were about to vent their anger.

The Qi army continued to raid the Liang army's infantry formation with cavalry and shooting, and tied branches to the horse's tail, galloping back and forth in the upper wind direction, raising a large amount of dust.

The Liang army soldiers who were in the downwind were covered in dust and many people's eyes were filled with dust, making them feel very uncomfortable.

In the formation, Wang Lin, the governor of Bozhou, observed the enemy situation and watched the enemy cavalry spy around like a pack of wolves. She felt her scalp numb: Such an enemy is difficult to deal with!

It was his first time facing an enemy of all cavalrymen, and he fought against the opponent on the Great Plains.

The opponent's cavalry was extremely brave and had many horses, so the ambush was not enough for one side. When the opponent moved, it was difficult for the Liang army, which had mixed infantry and cavalry, to keep up.

The number of cavalry in the Liang army was at a disadvantage and could not be pursued without authorization. Once the infantry was left behind, those infantry without cavalry cover would easily be annihilated by the enemy cavalry that had been circling back.

So Wang Lin and his subordinates, who were unable to ambush now, were like crabs that could only walk sideways, trying to clamp the moving rats.

Now, it is another way to get a crab to get a mouse if it is not caught. It is good to not find a flaw by the mouse and bite it to death.

The soldiers faced the enemy cavalry that was like wolves and tigers. Although they were not afraid of their legs trembling, they also knew that if they were not careful, they would end up being wiped out by the entire army, so they all focused and waited for the battle.

They have layers of barbed wire to protect them, not afraid of enemy cavalry rushing in directly, and they will confront each other, and the enemy will retreat sooner or later, so as long as the army is not in chaos, there will be no trouble.

But in this way, they cannot intercept each other, and they can leave as soon as they want.

If this is the case, the pre-war idea would be dashed: stopping this Qi army would also teach Qi a lesson.

However, Wang Lin and his subordinates were confident that they would keep each other because they had a backup plan.

After a while, dust broke out in the northwest, but a cavalry quickly approached and quickly formed a formation, rushing towards the Qi cavalry besieging the Liang army like a tide.

Wang Lin could see clearly with a thousand-mile mirror that all the cavalry rushed to wear funnel helmets, which was obviously the outfit of the Xuzhou army. So, in accordance with the previous agreement, ordered their cavalry to attack.

He himself was not good at riding horses and charging, so he stayed in the formation to command. His cavalry quickly came out of the battle and formed a group of troops to attack the opponent's south side.

And to the north, it is left to the Xuzhou cavalry.

The offensive and defensive transformation began instantly, and the Qi cavalry divided into two groups to fight against the two Liang cavalry. The wilderness soon became a mess, and the turbulence flew, and a melee broke out between the cavalry.

Wang Lin and the soldiers in the invading formation could see how fierce the melee was. Soon, they discovered that many Xuzhou cavalry dancing with long-handed swords and Qi cavalry holding spears were fighting.

In ancient times, long soldiers used by cavalry were mainly spears and spears. Why did Xuzhou cavalry use long-handled swords?

Or is it a rare sabre used by infantrymen?

One inch long and one inch stronger. The characteristic of a long soldier is that it is long. The length of a spear is generally not less than one or four feet. Spears that exceed one or eight feet are also called spears.

The Xuzhou Army's long-handled sword seemed to be only over one meter long, which was at least three or four feet shorter than the opponent's long soldier. How can I fight?

Wang Lin is not good at cavalry warfare, but he probably knows how to use cavalry warfare, but he sees that the long-handled sword in the hands of the Xuzhou cavalry is extremely special.

The spear technique includes straightforward thorns, drawing arcs, sweeping, rotating and winding, plucking, placing, and swinging.

And what about the long-handled knife?

If there are too many chops, scratches, and chops.

The head of the long-handled knife is definitely not light, but the rod is shorter, and the flexibility of dancing seems to be much worse than that of the spear. Of course, it is also possible that the Xuzhou cavalrymen are strong enough to make the knife.

The two cavalry confronted each other, and the spear came over, and a long-handled knife was used to push away the spear head, and then the blade slid forward along the spear rod. At this time, if the person holding the spear did not react quickly enough, his hands would be cut off.

If you let go of your hand, the spear will fall, and the knife will not diminish, and you will be cut to the person without dodging.

Wang Lin even saw a Xuzhou cavalry pushing a spear with a long-handled knife, and directly wiped the neck of the other party's mount.

Another way to use it is to drag a knife: two cavalry pass by, and the soldiers in their hands collided, and their attacks failed.

The long-handled sword is dragged and before the opponent turns back and stabs back, he will hit the enemy's body or mount, and the winner will be decided.

There is also a very sinister usage: after the opponent stabs the spear, the long-handled knife is slashed down, and the blade cuts (cuts) human legs, or even horse legs.

There is even a very cruel way to use it: use brute force to directly chop, and use the momentum of the horse to cut the enemies that were blocked by the spear in a hurry, even the spear rod (head, shoulder, etc.) in half.

Or, with the mount's momentum, they can directly chop the horse's head. Although it may not be cut off with one knife, they can cut off a piece of the horse's head, causing them to fall down immediately, and the scene is extremely bloody.

The soldiers of the Liang army in Bozhou witnessed the Xuzhou cavalry mixed with spears and long-handled swords, and beat more than half of the previously aggressive Qi cavalry to casualties, and soon dispersed. They were shocked.

Then there was cheering, because the friendly forces were so powerful.

Most of Wang Lin’s subordinates are from heroes in the world. They are very brave and fierce in their daily lives. What they admire most is the "ruthless people" they can fight. Now, seeing Xuzhou cavalry is so good at fighting, of course, I sincerely cheer.

The Qi army collapsed, leaving behind a large number of corpses and unowned war horses. Some Xuzhou cavalry chased and some remained behind.

Wang Lin asked the infantry to clean the battlefield. Looking at the Xuzhou cavalry gradually approaching, she sighed in her heart: Is this the cavalry trained by Li Li?

It's so amazing, no wonder it can attack Yecheng.

He looked carefully and found that the mounts of these cavalry were all "half-fitting", that is, they only wore face curtains, chicken necks (neck protection), and horses only had frontal defenses.

However, when many mounts have arrows inserted into their chests, it seems that the armor still plays an important role and protects the mount during a head-on confrontation.

Several riders came over, and one of them attracted everyone's attention.

He is burly and wearing an iron face, and cannot see his appearance clearly. The small flag on the top of the funnel helmet on his head has three sides, one red and two yellow, and three sides are in a row, which is particularly conspicuous and shows his unique identity.

He was carrying a two-edged spear in his hand, which was very long. Wang Lin roughly estimated that it could be more than two meters.

The mount under the crotch was a strong blue-white war horse, and the people and horses were stained with a lot of blood, while the two-edged spear and the heads of both spears were stained with blood.

The two-edged spear, just looking at the weapons, makes people feel that this is an invincible general on the battlefield.

The man handed over the two-edged spear to the accompanying cavalry, took down the iron face, got off the horse, and smiled at Wang Lin, "Why are you doing well, the envoy, Wang?"

However, it is Peng Jun, the military governor, and Wang Lin's old acquaintance, and the friendly general who fought in concert this time.

Wang Lin and his subordinates also recognized the "big catfish Peng" from Poyang, and walked forward with a smile and started chatting.

When acquaintances met, they greeted each other and got to the point, but before that, Wang Lin wanted to figure out one thing: what was the long-handled knife used by the Xuzhou cavalry.

Is it a formally equipped soldier or a weapon that Peng Jun's troops use himself.

"This long-handled sword is a long-handed sword that Xuzhou Military Mansion is currently testing. It has corresponding usage techniques."

After Peng Jun finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to bring a few long-handled knives and let Wang Lin watch them from both sides.

"There are advantages and disadvantages, and whether it is useful or not depends on actual testing."

So that's it. Wang Lin took the long-handled knife and looked at it carefully:

The long-handled knife has a slightly wider blade than the ring-headed knife and a thicker back. It is not simply connected to the ring-headed knife to the long rod.

The front end of the knife is arc-shaped, and the tip of the knife is raised, paying more attention to chopping, but it can also be straight and stabbing.

The back of the knife "cracked" and a small fork was cracked. I don't know what the purpose of making it like this is, but Wang Lin felt that it might be as useful as the twig of a halberd.

The cross-section of the handle (rod) is water droplet-shaped, with one end round and the other slightly pointed, and the pointed end corresponds to the blade.

This kind of knife handle allows people to know the direction of the blade according to the handle grip without looking at the knife head.

Wang Lin weighed the weight and found that the long-handled knife was not as heavy as imagined. It seemed that the weight of the knife head was not much heavier than the ring-headed knife.

I tried to dance again, stab, pick, and chop, and dance with his powerful arms. I felt that the sword was more flexible than I thought, and the knife head was easy to control.

Of course, no matter how flexible it is, it is not as good as a spear. After all, the weight difference between the "head" is. Wang Lin knows that for Changshang, the lighter the front end, the more effort it is, the more flexible it is.

Overall, the long-handled knife is heavier than the spear and is not as flexible as the spear, but it is used in a special way, and it can actually be used in a skill that cannot be used by spears or spears.

Perhaps after practice, it is really "easy to use".

He nodded: "It's interesting. I've never seen this weapon shape before. Does it have a name? A slashing saber? A long-handled saber?"

Peng Jun replied: "There is a name. What does this knife look like when you look at the shape of the knife?"

Wang Lin and the left and right looked carefully and felt that the front end of the blade was arc-shaped, which looked like an eyebrow, and also like... a crescent moon.

"The sword is like a silence of the moon, so it is named the silence of the moon." Peng Jun announced the answer, and Wang Lin was curious: "Why did you think of using a long-handled sword as a weapon?"

Peng Jun smiled and said, "The purpose is to break armor, break heavy armor, and fight in the infantry war. It is used as a chopping armor-breaking long soldiers. The purpose of this long-handled knife is more than a long-handled axe."

"When cavalry fights, the long-handled sword has more techniques, which can be used to chop and slash and fight, and may be helpful."

"What I just said was a trial weapon?" asked Deputy General Wang Lin Lu Na. He was very interested in this weapon.

"Yes, trial, whether it is easy to use depends on the actual combat."

Lu Na had another question: "Why do you have to make such a struggle? The spear is good, and the governor uses a two-edged spear."

"Hi, this is what Li Lang... Gong Pengcheng thought about..." Peng Jun smiled, revealing his white teeth, and revealing the secret.

"Pengcheng believes that military combat is like a factory starts construction. Workers need to use appropriate tools to complete their work efficiently. As for military personnel, of course, they need to use appropriate tools to improve the efficiency of killing."

Improve the efficiency of killing?

This was heard by Wang Lin and his subordinates, which made them feel chilling about Li Li.
