Chapter 119: Creating a Breaked Sword

Gao Shun was slightly stunned after hearing Li Qin's question, shook his head and said, "I have no relatives in my next family. I live a life of licking blood from a knife. I don't want to be tired of the family, so I have never married a wife and have children."

Li Qin nodded and said, "Brother Gao, how can heroes be homeless? Why not make a home in this Fujiao Fort and settle down! It may be good for you to live a free life alone, but you have to consider the incense of the Gao family. The people here are simple and all industries are waiting to be developed, which is a good place to live!"

Gao Shun hesitated slightly. In fact, he was always thinking about this. His brothers were all dead. Bingzhou had no property. It was the same whether he could go back or not. Seeing that Li Qin was a hero, he also wanted to stay here to develop. He had never been convinced, but for Li Qin, he was really too convinced to be unable to be convinced anymore. No matter who he was, he could lead hundreds of soldiers and scare away more than 30,000 Hun soldiers. If he was still not convinced, he would not be able to submit to others except the gods in the sky!

Li Qin said again: "Don't make a decision first. You can rest assured to recuperate here. When the injury is cured, let Jingqi help you build a house in Fujiao Fort. You can live in first and find a job. I see that you are skilled in archery and horses. Why not be a teacher and teach the soldiers martial arts. If you want to stay for a long time, then I will be happy. I will leave a place for you in the army. If you still want to leave, it will not be too late to leave then, right?"

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your kindness. When the injury is healed, I will find a job in the fort to repay my life-saving grace!" He agreed with the situation, feeling like he found the organization.

"What can you repay me if you don't repay me? I'm talking about it. Everyone is brother!" Li Qin smiled, looked at Gao Shun's injuries again, and then left the house.

The Fujiao Army went on the expedition this time, and although they returned victoriously, the soldiers who fell into battle needed to be buried. Li Qin found a place with good feng shui outside Fujiao Fort, built a cemetery to bury the soldiers who died, and properly placed the families of the soldiers. He also erected a stone tablet in front of the cemetery. Jia Xu wrote an article to record the war to support Lian County and commemorate the soldiers who fell into battle.

In this era, the soldiers were not treated well, and their families were even less pensioned after their deaths, and there was no memorial. Li Qin was able to respect the soldiers who died in the war and take good care of their families. It was very rare in this era. This also made the surviving Fijiao soldiers feel that even if they may not be able to come back in the future, their families can be taken care of and have no worries about food and clothing. Even if they work hard for Fujiao Fort, it is worth it.

After a few days, all the matters were arranged, Li Qin began to recruit soldiers again. This time he planned to recruit five infantry units of two thousand people and recruit another cavalry unit of 400 people to form a medium-sized regiment that could be pulled out for field battles at any time.

The recruitment of soldiers was quite smooth. The news of his great victory over the Huns was spread. Many people in this county came to surrender. Even if they could not join the army, they would at least live safely near Fujiao Fort. Since Li Qin could defeat the Huns, he would naturally protect them.

Li Qin used the same trick before, asking the strong men who signed up to join the army to run, then draw their bows and do various tests. He did all these things, and just handed them over to Jia Xu and Meng Mu and others. He focused on studying what kind of weapons should be used and what formations to use in the future corps.

Judging from the situation of the battle this time, Li Qin came to a conclusion that if he wanted to defeat the established cavalry charge, he had to fight a positional war, but this situation had very high requirements for scouts. He had to get information about the enemy cavalry in advance, how did the enemy cavalry move, how fast did the enemy cavalry, and whether he had time to prepare for it. If the above conditions were not met, but to fight an encounter, then what method should he use when he could not carry out a positional war?

Bows and arrows must be vigorously developed. There is no doubt that long-range attack weapons are the development trend of war. However, based on the current manufacturing level, Li Qin cannot invent muskets, otherwise he must form a musket army. If muskets and cannons are not enough, they must focus on improving the strength of the cold weapon army.

There are good methods for dealing with large-scale cavalry charges in all dynasties, but the feudal army was not enough to rely solely on the improvement of weapons and equipment. Some dynasties had very good weapons and equipment, but they were helpless in dealing with foreign invasions. It was not that the generals were not good enough, nor that the soldiers did not dare to fight, and the court did not become corrupt, nor that the foreign enemies were too strong, but that various factors were combined to make the Central Plains dynasty destroyed by foreign enemies.

The various stages of military development have their nature. It does not mean that one can establish it by knowing what kind of army should be established. War is a continuation of politics and involves too much in all aspects. Not only should one make a defense against the enemy, but also logistical support, the support of the people, the collection of various materials, the time occupied, the path of transporting the army and food to consume the least consumption, how to train generals, how to train soldiers, how to mobilize troops during wartime, how to raise soldiers during non-war periods, and how to farm farms. If the soldiers' fighting consciousness is maintained, they cannot be avoided for a period of time, soldiers will be afraid of blood, etc., and so on, so many of them cannot be solved overnight.

For the Fujiao Army at this stage, when the financial resources cannot support the expedition of large legions and the amount of troops cannot be replenished immediately and on-site, it can only establish small and medium-sized legions and engage in battles that do not leave the base area. Only in this way can we ensure that we will win when we go out. As for how to form an army in the future, it will gradually change with the development of Li Qin's strength.

Since it is a small and medium-sized legion, this legion must be strong and powerful, not to fight attributable wars with the enemy, but to fight blitzkrieg and quickly. This will prevent the time from being delayed and the manpower and material resources from being consumed, and secondly, it can knock the enemy out as quickly as possible and be unable to resist.

To do this, as long as I am here, others will have to get away from me!

Now the Fujiao Army can do this in Beidi County, but if it is placed in the entire Liangzhou, it is a bit too much. Therefore, we have to build another army to make the Fujiao Army different from other armys. When people mention the Fujiao Army, they will naturally have a thought: it is a very strong army. If we rely on hard fighting, we may not be able to fight them, so we might as well avoid the enemy's front!

Under this premise, Li Qin got the iron-raiding master of the dynasty, so he decided to let the soldiers add another weapon to the spear, which is the broken sabre. In the Tang Dynasty, it would develop into a Modao, and a kind of cold weapon era, the most luxurious military formation, the Modao formation!

The Modao Formation of the Tang Dynasty infantry, like a wall-driven tactic, created the glorious war history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and also created the Modao myth. It can be said that when the Modao Legion arrived on the battlefield, as long as it set up its formation, it would scare the enemy and tremble in its heart.

There are many reasons why the Tang Dynasty Modao Regiment withdrew from the stage of history, but after all, it is because other cheaper weapons appeared. Effective but inexpensive weapons are always the first choice for military equipment. During the Song Dynasty, the army was equipped with spears, long swords, axes and divine arm crossbows. These weapons are far less luxurious than Modao, but they are equally easy to use, so the grand Modao Formation became history.

Modao is very luxurious and will be replaced by other weapons. However, for the Fujiao Army at present, it is the best choice, because the luxurious Modao array will completely distinguish other troops on the outside. In the late Han Dynasty, when the princes fought, they often dispatched troops of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but after all, most of them rely on enlisting soldiers. In the Fujiao Army, these soldiers were not even as good as auxiliary soldiers. However, most of the troops in this era were composed of such components, and there were few elite soldiers after all.

It’s not that the princes did not know how to train soldiers, but that years of war made them have no time to train soldiers.

In this reality, even if the Modao Formation is too luxurious and expensive, it is the best to deal with amateur enemy soldiers. When facing the enemy soldiers who have just been pulled down their hoes and have no fighting will, they just put down their hoes and just installed a spear head on the wooden pole, and were pulled out to fight. In a row of military formations, they suddenly found that the Fujiao Army on the opposite side were holding the extremely luxurious broken sabers, thrusting the big swords at them, glaring at them...

What would the people who had just been pulled out of the tyrants think? That's all I can think: "The Fujiao Army is here... It's so terrible... It's better to run away!" Before the battle could be fought, failure was inevitable!

The Modao Formation is difficult to practice, and it will not be possible to become an army for a year or two. Therefore, even if the Fujiao Army is equipped with the Modao, it will not immediately exert the power of the sword formation. But scaring people is enough. First, scare the amateur enemy soldiers. When the enemy elite soldiers rushed up, they should shoot arrows and stab them with spears. If they should defeat the elite enemy soldiers, they will catch the amateurs, which is too late!

After Li Qin made up his plan, he called the people from the Yimen to discuss the creation of a large number of sabers. The Yimen's clan leader did not die when fighting with the Laojie Qiang, but died when he was captured by the Xiongnu soldiers. Now the Yimen has the final say that the elder brother of the clan leader is named Ha Dali!

Li Qin called Ha Dali. Seeing that the man was in his fifties, tall and strong, and his hands were like small palm-leaf fans, he first praised the hero, and asked Dian Wei to bring the large broken sabre and asked Ha Dali, "This broken sabre was created by your corpse. Can it be built again?"

Ha Dali was very surprised when he saw this broken horse sabre and said, "This broken horse sabre was indeed created by our sabre, but it disappeared a long time ago. I don't know who got it. How could Li Lang have this broken horse sabre?"

Li Qin said: "This is the spoil I got when suppressing bandits. Can you build it again? I mean a large number of builds, I want at least two thousand of them!"

Ha Dali was shocked and said, "Two thousand pieces? This iron..."
