Chapter 595 Spear Technique
The martial artist who really decided to come was named Liu Dechang. He was past his prime. He entered Shaolin Temple as a young man to learn the stick technique.

This time I went to Beiyang, and was recommended by Yu Dayou to teach the army short spear skills in the army.

If we talk about the martial arts masters of the present age, Liu Xian who hacked to death forty or fifty bandits with a guillotine when he was young is naturally counted as one, and Ma Fang who galloped his horse against the camp of Ida in the environment where the northern captives went south to plunder year after year is counted as one, and Ye Luzi joined the army There are quite a few Chen Lin who have played the 30-year-old Guangdong defense with military exploits-but if you really want to talk about military combat, you must be able to pass on the word and teach skills, and Yu Long is the first to be recommended for martial arts.

Therefore, the Navy Lecture Hall has the best teaching materials for military guns in the world.

But Beiyang did not have the best spear instructor, and the monk Tianshi went to the Southwest to preach, so Liu Dechang recommended by Yu Dayou made Chen Mu look forward to it, and when he came, Yu Dayou specifically said in his letter that Liu Dechang practiced short spear skills. Mu's blunderbuss stabbing skills are perfect, and it is most suitable to use him as a spear instructor.

When Chen Mu arrived at the infantry school grounds, Liu Dechang had already competed with several flag officers in the field. Several flag officers who had learned Majia guns and Shajia poles since childhood stood dejectedly, and several big guns were crooked. Putting it on the ground, it is obvious that it has been defeated.

The newly recruited flag troops were all practicing, and this contest could not be called a lively one. There were only Chinese officials in the army who did not lead troops around, and everyone looked very unhappy.

Usually, the generals don't care if they are from the martial arts hall or not. They all rely on their bravery. Now that they have been defeated one after another, no one can feel at ease.

"Pick up the big gun and put it away."

"Big guy!"

"Here comes the boss."

Seeing Chen Mu approaching, several people hurriedly saluted and picked up the big gun, and retreated to the side.

Chen Mu's face was not happy, but he was not because his subordinates were defeated by Liu Dechang, Liu Dechang will also be his subordinates, naturally the more powerful the better, he just felt sorry for the big gun that was thrown on the ground by the officer.

It is not easy to get these big guns, the best standard spears in the world are the same as the best bird guns in the world, they are all in one place.

The best blunderbuss is in the Nanyang Arms Bureau, and the best spear and spear is in the Xuanfu Arms Bureau. The reason is that since the unification of China, military weapons have rarely been privately cast, and the market circulation is naturally less. There is only one driving force at the level of device manufacturing.

Because each of the north and the south has the most powerful generals in the world, spears and blunderbuss are what they need, and the manufacture is naturally exquisite.

The birds of the Nanyang Military Bureau are Chen Mu's needs, and the spears of the Xuanfu Military Bureau are Qi Jiguang's needs. Chen Mu wants to get these spears from the Xuanfu, no doubt it's a tiger's mouth—it's not worth the money. Take the matter, but Chen Mu doesn't want to give money.

Guns and lances are good things. There are two types of guns used by infantry, nine feet short and five feet long. The widest end of the gun shaft should be two inches in diameter. The shafts are all made of thick wood. These are the best spears made in the north. Natural wood is not easy to dry and crack like other woods in the north, but it is more difficult to process.

The wood used to make guns is relatively hard. Short guns are all hard guns. Long guns should neither be too hard nor too soft. The waist of a long gun is soft and difficult to exert force. It is easy to break when it is hard, so it is not too soft or too hard, and it is justified that it is tough enough.

Qi Jiguang did the most difficult job well. The spears produced by Xuanfu have become standard, and they are specially used for the use of their military spear skills. There are only two points, one stab and one strike. The tail is two inches wide. Qi Jiguang designed this kind of gun shaft to let the soldiers directly smash the enemy with a gun when the enemy wears too thick armor.

There is no big difference between a gun and a lance, and a lance is not very mysterious. It is a lance if it is more than one foot and eight feet.

However, it is not easy to make a long pole so long and still suitable for use. Among the military long spears transferred by Chen Mu, some of the spears provided to the elite cavalry are made of iron, that is, the wooden pole is wrapped with iron wires. Heavier, weighing fifteen catties.

Chen Mu didn't even want to touch that kind of weapon. He couldn't even wield a nine-pound spear when he was on the horse.

The cavalry who can use this kind of weapon can be described as powerful in each arm and waist. When they are splitting their manes and galloping, they can break the enemy's spear with the help of horsepower.

Both of them used this kind of fighting in the arena, but they took off the front of the lance and wrapped it in a thick cloth. The distance between them was nearly twenty steps.

The martial art of this era has not gone through the fantasy of martial arts novels and movies of later generations. It has been born out and applied to fighting on the battlefield. Although there have been some flower gun techniques that are convenient for the market to circulate, since Liu Dechang dares to stand in the Beiyang school field and fight against generals, even if he can The flower gun technique will not be used either.

After the two of them cautiously approached each other for a few steps, the two long spears met and entered the stage of "leather spear". Although Chen Mu didn't know how to use a spear, he was familiar with the textbooks in the lecture hall and understood the theory of marksmanship. In fact, the leather gun is to knock the enemy's gun into the air and snatch the center line.

The midline is the line in the middle of the body between oneself and the opponent.

There are two main points in any marksmanship, poking and leather, and the others are supplementary, poking and leather is the process of fighting, and there is only one purpose.

There are only two situations in front of the battle. The opponent doesn't know how to snatch the center line and stabs him directly, and he dies.

The opponent knows to snatch the center line but can't stop you. At this time, the opponent's gun is up, down, left, right, wherever is fine, as long as it is not on the center line and your own gun is on the center line, stab it-ah!He died again.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei fought Ma Chao for 120 rounds at night with lights on. In fact, he did not snatch the center line in 120 rounds to show that the two generals were evenly matched.

The same applies to other cold weapons, as well as hand-to-hand combat.

The generals of the military government were not mediocre either. The two guns shot at each other several times at a distance of seven or eight steps, getting closer and closer each time. When they were three steps apart and the tip of the spear was about to reach the opponent's body, the battle was stalemate.

Both of them are good players with pure skills. Every time they break the opponent's long lance, the range of force of their weapons is very close. The long lance almost always draws a circle around the center line, and the body keeps pushing forward in small steps with the tail of the lance , the closer the tip of the weapon is to the center line, the easier it is to stab the opponent directly.

Several times the weapons intersected, and just when Chen Mu couldn't bear it anymore, he failed to fight for the center line again. The officer who was knocked aside took a step back to avoid the stabbing head.

It was just a small step, Liu Dechang continued to rush forward, step by step, until he beat the flag officer more and more chaotically, leaving only the strength of defense, and then when the long spear was pressed to the ground on the left side, he was hit hard on the chest After a stab, he was forced back a few steps by the pan lance, and fell straight to Chen Mu's side.

"Ugh!"

All the generals onlookers sighed in unison, no one held grudges against Liu Dechang, but it was really disappointing that none of the generals could beat this outsider.

Several civil servants supported the retreating banner officer, and held their chests for a few breaths before they came to catch their breath. He let out a long blow and bowed towards Liu Dechang, holding his fists, but he opened his mouth bare and couldn't make a sound. That hit was hard.

"Exquisite martial arts, I have worked hard on spear skills."

A group of civil servants made way to open the way, Chen Mu patted the flag officer on the shoulder to encourage him, and said with a smile: "Being an officer will delay your martial arts practice, otherwise you should have a spear skill everyone - but practicing spear is also to kill the enemy guards. country."

"Have a good rest, there are a few people who have competed before, go back to rest in the afternoon, and come to the Yamen after dinner in the cafeteria in the evening, and set up with Master Liu the practice regulations for infantry spear and gun stabbing in the future."

Everyone responded with a bang, and each helped them to disperse. Then Chen Mu stepped forward and clasped his fists at Liu Dechang and said, "Master Liu, I'm going to Chen Mu. From now on, the Banner Army of the Military Mansion will have your Excellency to take care of you."

After all, he served in the army in northern Xinjiang, and Liu Dechang also had a strong military atmosphere on his body. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate pays homage to the general. The general's words are serious, and Chen Shuai and Yu Shuai appreciate them. I will do my best to teach them!"

"Haha, it's good like this, it's good like this! I'll take you for a stroll in Beiyang in the afternoon, and I'll meet a strange one later." Chen Mu said, turning to Juniper and saying, "Heizi, someone sent Nanyang here A few Englishmen were brought to the yamen, and they took so much trouble to come to see me, let's see what they have to do!"
