Vol 4 Chapter 87: Luda's Dark Iron Epee

Fang La turned upside down. Yang Yi had not completed the compilation of "Wan Shou Dao Zang" in Zhaowen Museum, but Fang La rebelled in Jiangnan.
Rebellion and rebellion are not the same. Some armed rebel groups can recruit security, but some can only be wiped out. The difference lies in whether there is a king.
For example, Song Jiang’s Liangshan has a very powerful martial arts group, but Song Jiang has never been called the king, only called "Liangshan", and his banner is also "walking for the sky."
Liang Shan's rebellion was full of romantic idealism of "anti-corrupt officials, not against the imperial court." From the very beginning, he expressed an ambiguous attitude of expecting Zhaoan. So no matter how big Liangshan's trouble is, even if the county kills the state, the official Zhao Ji doesn't care. At the end of the bill, he will be accepted as a eagle dog. It is nothing more than a question of price.
But if the king's flag is raised, it means that the opposition is against the court and the current Zhao Song officials. This is disturbing, because your rebellion broke the rules.
Therefore, the two armed rebel groups of Hebei Tianhu and Huaixi Wangqing, who were not as powerful as Liangshan, were not recruited because Tian Hu was the king of Jin on his own and Wang Qing was the king of Chu. The officials and the court would not bother to recruit them, and knew that they would not accept it. The nature of the rebellion changed from the day it became king.
Their two armed rebel groups were wiped out by the Liangshan army after the recruitment, and the heads of Tian Hu and Wang Qing were dedicated to Zhao Ji by Song Jiang.
Fang La established himself as the "Holy King" on the first day he raised the anti-flag, which showed that there was no discussion. Not only that, Fang La also built the reign title "Yongle", which even showed his attitude to fight against Zhao Song.
Fang La started work in Muzhou and gathered 40,000 people in just three days, and then broke Shezhou. One month later, there were 150,000 armed.
At this time, it was impossible not to suppress, Fang La's momentum was too strong, obviously beyond the ordinary concept of rebelling against the mountain forest, but directly attacked the city. In addition, Muzhou and Shezhou are only three hundred miles away from Hangzhou, so Zhao Ji has to take them seriously.
Hangzhou is the largest city of the Song Dynasty in the south and the most important tax source for the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhao Ji and Cai Jing didn't worry about Hangzhou being attacked by Fang La, because the city's defenses were very strong, and the soldiers in the city were well-stocked, so that Song could not attack it by himself.
But after all, the distance is too close, and Fang La's emergence is a hidden danger in Hangzhou, so it is better to suppress bandits sooner rather than later.
Needless to say, Xiang Jun, sending them to just donate soldiers to Fang La. The imperial army was unreliable, and they had no fighting capacity.
Last year in Northland, Liao was beaten up by the Jurchens. The Forbidden Army was happily trying to beat down the water dogs. As a result, the extremely elite Dasong Forbidden Army was hunted and killed by the remnant and defeated Liao Army for a hundred miles. The road was covered with back cloth. Corpse of the imperial army full of wounds.
Only the Western Army of Yanzhou can go. They are the only army that can fight in the Song Dynasty. Thus, Tong Guan led the Western Army to the south.
Song Da Song despised military generals very much, so the commander of the army must be civil servants. Civil officials control the army's money, food, equipment, personnel, and even the power of life and death of military generals. Generals only have the power to command and lead troops to charge and kill.
Even so, the Song Dynasty officials were still not at ease with the military commanders, and they also arranged a supervising army over the military command in the army. All eunuchs who serve as the supervising army are directly appointed by the officials.
It can also be seen from this point that the power structure of the Song Dynasty army is actually a combination of civilian officials and the imperial power to suppress the generals, only allowing you to retain the ability to be ordered to fight, but not giving you the right to speak. At the same time, the civil official group and the imperial power were also fighting in the army.
Because he is a rootless person, the eunuch has always been trusted by the emperor. Tong Guan is the trusted by Zhao Ji and the supervisor of the Yanzhou Western Army. Now the actual commander of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.
However, Tong Guan is not an who relies on flattery and flattery in his impression. He is a man with real skills, both civil and military. Tong Guan is a great martial artist, he is the number one official of the Song Dynasty.
Two hundred and thirty years ago, Li Cunxiao, the world's number one fierce general, led the Eighteen Cavaliers to defeat Chang'an. These eighteen men were not only his protagonists, but also his righteous brothers, as well as his martial arts disciples.
Among the eighteen people, apart from Xue Atan, An Xiuxiu, He Heihu, Xue Tieshan and other famous generals in Tang Dynasty, there is also a fierce general named Tong Quanzhong, who is the ancestor of Tong Guan.
Tong Guan has undoubtedly surpassed his ancestors in martial arts, and he has a pretty good literary talent. It is said that he summarized his martial arts knowledge into a book, and plans to pass it on to his disciples or destined people in the future.
This volume combines and fits the martial arts secrets of his physical characteristics, called "The Sunflower Treasure". Maybe many years later, it will set off a storm on the rivers and lakes, who knows.
However, Tong Guan is the official first martial artist of the Song Dynasty, but not the first master of the Yanzhou Western Army. The most powerful martial artist in the Western Army today is the infantryman named Ruda.
Sheep and her four apprentices were very speechless.
Raising Professor Wu Daniu is to let him have the ability to protect himself in troubled times. Unexpectedly, he has become the world's most powerful general, and the troubled times have become more chaotic because of his appearance.
Accepting Li Xiaoyao as a disciple is to pass the leisurely time in the Valley of Immortality and to have a warm family atmosphere in the bamboo house. Who knew he became the first sword fairy in ancient and modern times.
The distressed Xuzhu, and didn't want to see him being too bullied in this cool world. Unexpectedly, he not only married the beautiful Xixia Princess, but also bullied those who wanted to bully him.
Taking Lu Da as a disciple was because he was ashamed of Zhou Dong, so he only taught Lu Da the martial arts that could kill the enemy on the battlefield. Swordsmanship has basically withdrawn from the battlefield because of the characteristics of its weapons. It is only a weapon for private fights, so Yangyi did not teach Ruda how to practice swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, Ruda, who has no knowledge of swordsmanship, is now a famous swordsman master, and his swordsmanship violates all known swordsmanship theories.
Eighteen years ago, on the first day Ruda went to the Western Army in Yanzhou, he became a celebrity. Because the lords of the Jinglue Mansion thought the crows in the courtyard were irritable, Ruda rolled up his sleeves and made the bowl thick. The willow tree uprooted.
Putting down his sleeves, he was appointed as a Captain of the Western Army.
Two years later, Ruda was promoted to the throne. In the thirteenth year, Supervisor Tong Guan invited him to learn from each other. Ruda hit Tong Guan three punches in succession after 110 strokes and nearly killed Supervisor. Since then, he has become the first martial artist in the Western Army. head.
But even though the infinitely powerful Ruda did not lose a single defeat on the battlefield, he still had his troubles, because he could not find a weapon to his heart.
Ruda is proficient in eighteen weapons, and he has used all eighteen weapons. But after ten years of fighting on the battlefield, he sublimated the martial arts taught by the master through the actual combat of blood and fire to the point where he himself had begun to enlighten, and he always felt that no single weapon could bring out his martial arts ideas.
Tiharuda is not a martial artist who can only kill people, he is a martial arts wizard, and he is good at thinking. After careful analysis, Ruda asked the craftsmen in the army to use stainless steel to create a super broadsword weighing a hundred jin.
Ruda, who had never practiced swords before, raised the sword, and he was not good at any sword moves.
It took three years for Ruda to integrate spears, spears, halberds, knives, sticks, maces, axes, whips, hammers, hooks... these eighteen-edged martial arts into the super epee in three years. Only there is no sword move.
Since then, Ruda has not only been a fish in the water, but also created a new type of swordsmanship-heavy swordsmanship, which can also be called anti-swordsmanship, breaking the world.
Li Xiaoyao made a breakthrough because he was extremely proficient in swordsmanship, and his use of swords reached the limit of human beings, so he made a breakthrough, realized the great way of swords, and became a sword fairy.
However, because Ruda knew nothing about swords, he did not have the imprisonment of swords, and he could play freely without restraint. Thus, he began to prove Kendo on another road.
Different routes lead to the same goal.
Ruda is satisfied, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but still a bit flawed-the sword is too big. The weight of a hundred catties sword is ideal, but it is as big as a door panel and can be used as a shield when erected.
It is so huge, it also causes small inconvenience in use, but if it becomes smaller, it becomes lighter, and lighter is not enough. So Ruda fell into a little trouble again.
It wasn't until the 16th year of the Western Army that this problem was solved. A merchant from Liao State sold Ruda a piece of meteorite that was said to have fallen from the sky, and the bullock cart pulled it away.
It's very expensive, Ruda took all the money to Tong Guan before buying the meteorite iron.
More than 400 kilograms of meteorite iron ore, and finally 98 kilograms of black fine iron, Ruda used it to create a 98 kilograms of dark iron epee, which is only slightly larger than Western broadswords, and has both strength, toughness and hardness. It is much more than a hundred refining steel.
It's perfect.
Lu Da and Tong Guan, carrying the profound iron heavy swords, led the Yanzhou Western Army to the south to suppress Fangla's rebellion. The vanguard of the Western Army was the fragmented Liangshan Army.
