Chapter 12 Mo Dao

Speaking of cavalry, there was nothing to praise in the Song Dynasty. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty was very bad, so bad that no one wanted to use it. However, when it comes to infantry, the Song Dynasty had a great say in it and implemented the "use of infantry to control cavalry" strategy for decades. Although it did not make the Song Dynasty stronger, the infantry of the Song Dynasty was quite good.

Not to mention, after Wu Ji's improvement, the Converted Army was very strict in training, and its combat effectiveness had been verified by the war just past. Their strength was obvious. Just five hundred Song troops dared to fight with five thousand Liao troops and killed the Liao troops.

In the minds of Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao, the Converted Army was already the elite among the elites. Wu Ji was not satisfied, which really surprised them.

"Commander Wu Du, I dare not agree with your words. We have thunder bullets in our hands, are we still afraid of cavalry?" Qi Dabao took the lead in opposing.

"Yes!" Zheng Tai and Huangfu Song immediately agreed.

"The Thunderbolt bullet is powerful and has great lethality, but the Thunderbolt bullet is not omnipotent." Wu Ji knew very well that in this era where cold weapons were the main ones, it was impossible to rely on the Thunderbolt bullet alone. It requires the cooperation of many weapons. If there is a cannon, this problem would be much easier to deal with. The problem is that the manufacturing of artillery is too difficult. The Wu military industry does not have the ability to manufacture artillery at present, so it can only rely on the Thunderbolt bullet to support it.

"If the enemy does not care about casualties, they use cavalry to rush, do you say, even though we have crossbows, bows and arrows, thunderbolt bullets, and swords to kill the enemy, can we kill all the enemies?" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and asked loudly: "Impossible! Cavalry has a natural advantage in fighting infantry. Once the enemy's cavalry rushed to the front, our infantry could only give the slaughter. Therefore, our infantry must be completely changed, otherwise they will not be able to resist the enemy's cavalry."

Cavalry has great advantages in fighting infantry. If the cavalry rushes closer, what is waiting for the infantry is a massacre, which is a fact that no one can deny.

It is precisely because the cavalry had huge advantages over infantry that although the Song Dynasty invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build infantry and implemented the strategy of "using infantry to control cavalry", it still could not change its disadvantages and could only give the Liao Kingdom a lot of pressure.

Although the Converted Army was great, if the Liao cavalry rushed to the front, the Converted Army would still suffer a great loss. This time the Liao army invaded the territory, which was a siege battle, and its cavalry had not been exerted at all. If it was a field battle, the Liao army concentrated the cavalry to charge, not to mention the 500 Converted Army, even the 5,000 Converted Army was not enough for the Liao army to kill.

If an army cannot fight in field battles, can it still be called an army? How dare it be called an elite?

"This... seems reasonable!" Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao were shocked, stroked their foreheads and couldn't speak.

They have been immersed in the joy of victory these days and have not thought about it yet.

"Commander Wu Du, what are you going to do?" Zheng Tai asked hurriedly.

This is exactly what Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao thought so. They looked at Wu Ji, calmed down, and waited for Wu Ji's answer.

"I was thinking that the spear should be replaced." Wu Ji frowned and said in contemplation: "The spear is light and saves energy, but it does not have much advantage in facing cavalry. It requires heavy weapons against cavalry. If you can have heavy weapons like maces, that would be great. However, although the mace is heavy and has a strong blow power, it is still insufficient to use it against cavalry. It is best to have a knife, a very heavy knife."

Wu Ji really didn't think about the change of infantry. When it comes to making weapons, Wu Ji had some tricks, and when it comes to fighting, it was okay. However, when it comes to such changes, it was a bit unpleasant. After all, Wu Ji had been in the army for a short time, and this kind of thing required a long time to think about it.

"Mo Dao!" Zheng Tai and Qi Dabao shouted at the same time: "Mo Dao, Mo Dao must do it!"

"Mo Dao?" Wu Ji was stunned.

"Modao is a powerful infantry weapon used by the previous dynasty. It weighs 50 kilograms and is specially used to deal with cavalry." Zheng Taiyi mentioned Modao and his face was full of red light and his spirit suddenly increased: "This Modao is the most important weapon of the previous dynasty. Wu Du commanded, think about it, there was an infantryman called Modao Hand in the previous dynasty. He held a 50 kilogram of Modao, hundreds of thousands of people wielding Modao and slashing with Modao. How exciting it was."

"Hundreds? Thousands?" Wu Ji was shocked to Tai Zheng. Who can stop the hundreds, thousands of Modao hand pushing?

"According to historical records, it is called "like a wall to advance!" Zheng Tai's tone was higher and trembled: "Mo Dao rushed to his hands like a wall pushing forward. No matter whether there are people or horses in front, everything that is blocked in front will turn into minced meat."

Many Modao rushed to kill with Modao. No matter whether you are blocking the person or sword, infantry or cavalry in front, give you a knife, if there are still people alive, it will become a strange thing. If it does not turn into minced meat, it will be unreasonable.

The 50-pound Mo Dao is now weighing 60-pound. Once it is chopped, how powerful it is, it doesn’t need to think about. Without flesh and blood, who dares to win the edge?

Zheng Tai rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "In the Battle of Talas, Deputy General Li Siye made good use of the Mo Dao. The people and horses were broken. Who dared to stop him?"

He didn't say much, but he said the terrible thing about Mo Dao. Wu Ji's eyes shone. He needed such a sharp weapon. If the Converted Army was equipped with such a sharp weapon, would the combat power of the Converted Army be even more important? It will definitely increase by a lot. With the Thunderbolt bullet and Mo Dao, if you meet the gods and kill the gods, who dares to be an enemy when you meet the Buddhas and slaughter Buddhas?

"Modao is good, but it is too heavy. You must have a war horse to enter the battlefield." Wu Ji had a good vision and could see Modao's shortcomings at a glance.

"That's right!" Zheng Tai hit with both hands and praised: "When the previous dynasty was heading to the tripod, Ma Zheng succeeded and shepherded 700,000 horses. The Modao could be put into the battlefield. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the previous dynasty declined, Ma Zheng was corrupt, and the war horses decreased sharply, and Modao could no longer appear on the battlefield. Until now, he did not appear on the battlefield again. Such a powerful weapon was just a flash in the pan, which is really a pity!"

Modao is a luxurious weapon in the era of cold weapons. Although the cost is not small and the conditions for use are harsh, its power is obvious and has significant results. The Tang Dynasty had a large number of Modao hands. Once the war started, Modao was scattered on the battlefield. Who should be the enemy?

Unfortunately, Mo Dao did not appear on the battlefield for a long time. After the middle Tang Dynasty, the number of war horses decreased. The Tang army, which was originally known for its rapid action, basically became infantry. It was slow to act, and Mo Dao was even more unlikely to appear on the battlefield.

It became a terrifying sound!

"Commander Wu, don't you want to use Modao?" Qi Dabao was a little surprised.

"Hehe!" Wu Ji let out a smug laugh: "Isn't it just a war horse? We have more than 8,000 war horses, and three are not a problem. Why not use such a powerful weapon?"

Without war horses, Modao cannot appear on the battlefield. As for the Conversion Army, there are now a large number of war horses. What's so strange about putting Modao on the battlefield?

"Okay! You wait, I'll get the Modao! Our Qiyun Club has a Modao!" Qi Dabao jumped up suddenly, turned around and ran away.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was widely circulated, and Modao did not disappear. Many people knew about it, but there were still some Modao collected.

"That's great! Just as I was about to go to bed, someone handed the pillow!" Wu Ji was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Modao!" Zheng Tai gave an aria in the tone of a poet, his eyes shining brightly and he was energetic: "I have only seen records in history books, but I have never seen Modao. Today I can finally open my eyes!"

"I have heard of it, and I have never seen it before." Huangfu Song rubbed his hands so excitedly.

Not long after, Qi Dabao came back, carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and ran, it was pounding, very heavy, which shows how heavy the Mo Dao was.

When he approached, Qi Dabao put the Mo Dadao on the ground and raised his head proudly: "This is Mo Dao. You can't find a few in the north! Our Qiyun Club not only collects Mo Dao, but also has a set of sword techniques, and also has the ability to work hard!"

"In other words, as long as I want to train Mo Daoshi, everything is ready!" Wu Ji heard this and was as beautiful as hearing Tianyin Fairy Music.

Modao is the Tang Dynasty's trump card weapon. If you want to use Modao, you have to explore Modao's sword technique. The method of using Modao's hand strength is equivalent to starting from scratch. With this sword technique, this method of using hard work is ready-made, and it only takes training.

Wu Ji dared not doubt the method of using Modao and the method of using Modao's hand strength, which was absolutely applicable. Because the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are the best proof!

"That's great! That's great!" Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song and the other two also applauded.

Wu Ji temporarily suppressed his excitement and looked at Mo Dao. He saw that Mo Dao was more than one meter long, with a knife head, and the light of the knife was shining, giving people a feeling of palpitations. This was created hundreds of years ago, and now it is still so bright, which shows how high the sword making process of the Tang Dynasty reached.

Wu Ji took it in his hand and took it heavy, almost falling to the ground. Wu Ji's body was only slightly stronger than normal people, and it was really not easy to wield the Mo Dao.

Huangfu Song held it in his hand, his wrist trembled, and the wind whistled. A sword in his hand was like four ounces of cotton: "Show me the sword technique!"

Qi Dabao handed the sword technique to Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song took it, opened it and browsed for a while, and smiled and said, "There are not many tricks, but they are very suitable for the battlefield. Look at it!"

He held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands and slashed hard. A sword light appeared, like thunder and lightning, with a shocking power. Wu Ji couldn't help but squint his eyes and took a step back.

I knew that the Yang Dao was not slashing at me, but looking at the rushing sword light, it felt like I was slashing at me, and I couldn't do it either.

There were also Zheng Tai and Qi Dabao who felt this way. The two of them took several steps in a row, narrowing their eyes into slits, and they were amazed: "Awesome! Awesome! Not to mention hundreds, thousands, thousands of people using Modao at the same time. One person has such power. If they rushed on the battlefield, what would it be?"

Huangfu Song used Mo Dao with one move at a time. The more he used it, the more he became, the more he was happy, and he opened his mouth: "Hehe, I have lived for decades, and now I know that this Mo Dao is created for me! Good knife! Good knife!"
