Li Bing followed Blacksmith Sun into the backyard of the Blacksmith Shop. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Bing noticed a huge black stone placed in the backyard. Blacksmith Sun introduced it,"Young Master, this is a piece of Star Metal that the shop obtained a few days ago. It's just right for you to forge a weapon!”Li Bing knew that the so-called star iron was actually a meteorite that fell from the sky and hadn't been completely burned. Because the meteorite contained a large amount of metal elements, and after being burned by the high temperature caused by friction with the atmosphere, it was a top-notch material used to forge cold weapons. The weapons forged were hard and could be called peerless divine weapons.
Li Bing didn't think that he would have such a big harvest in this blacksmith shop. He actually encountered a rare meteoric iron. He was still very happy in his heart. He handed the previous blueprint to Blacksmith Sun again."As for the style, just make it like a regular square halberd. But carve nine coiling dragons on the shaft of this halberd. After it is forged, cast a layer of gold on the blade. This weapon will definitely be famous in the world after it is forged. It has to be more impressive. Remember, the weight must be sufficient. It is not easy to use a light weapon!”Li Bing saw that Blacksmith Sun's attitude had softened, and the aura of a noble's son appeared once again. His tone also had some dignity. Although Li Bing was also a modern person from his previous life, he knew that it was still the prosperous stage of the feudal society. It was impossible to talk about equality for everyone. It would only make others think that you were a monster. Now was still the era of aristocracy. What he needed to do was to adapt to this era. After a few years of life. He also gradually gained the so-called dignity of a superior.
"Ah, nine coiling dragons? " Isn't it a little…" Blacksmith Sun looked at Li Bing carefully, afraid that he would be angry. The Nine Dragons could only be enjoyed by the Emperor. A child…Blacksmith didn't dare to think about it.
"It's just a weapon. Why are you making such a fuss? Just do as I say!”Li Bing said. Blacksmith Sun saw that Li Bing was determined and could only agree submissively."Anyway, I'm just a craftsman. You asked me to hit you, so I'll hit you. If anything happens, it won't involve me!”
"When can I come and get it?" Li Bing saw that the matter was almost over and had the intention to leave. He planned to go out of the city and take a look at the village.
"En, about a month. Although this star metal is an excellent material for forging weapons, it is extremely hard.”Blacksmith Sun muttered to himself. Li Bing nodded and turned to leave.
" Young…Young Master…" Blacksmith Sun suddenly stuttered as he called out to Li Bing. Li Bing turned around in surprise and saw Blacksmith Sun's troubled expression."What's wrong, Master Sun?”
" It's…It's nothing serious. It's just…it's just that Young Master said earlier that…that 500 strings…" Blacksmith Sun stuttered and looked up at Li Bing in embarrassment."Since Master Sun is personally taking action, this Young Master's words will naturally count. Other than the capital, I will pay Master Sun an additional five hundred strings of strings as remuneration!”
Only then did Blacksmith Sun relax and hurriedly bowed to send Li Bing off.""Young Master, take care!"
Li Bing smiled without saying a word. He turned around and mounted the Fire Jade Kylin. He clamped his horse's belly and rode off into the distance.
Blacksmith Sun watched Li Bing leave before turning around to leave. With a happy expression, he shouted," Don't be idle. Come and get to work. This time, I'll personally go. Those who learn craftsmanship, open your eyes wide and watch…"
Li Bing flew all the way to the manor outside the city. As the secrets of this manor could not be known to outsiders, it was built in a relatively remote area. Even if someone wanted to find it, it would not be so easy. Li Bing first walked around the city and made sure that no one was following him before he arrived at the manor.
Outside the manor, it was deserted, but inside the manor, it was a lively scene. The people inside were excitedly sparring and practicing. Some were using wooden lances to fight on horseback, some were practicing horsemanship, and some were practicing riding and archery. In short, it was a lively scene.
Li Bing's manor was very large. When it was built, it had taken into account the daily life of thousands of people, martial arts and horse training, and many other issues. Fortunately, this place was also in the wilderness, so he spent a lot of money to build these two huge manors outside Chang 'an and Taiyuan. Moreover, the professional lifespan of soldiers in this era was relatively long. The professional lifespan of ordinary soldiers could range from 15 to 45 years old, as long as 30 years.
Li Bing was walking in the manor. The people in the manor were training enthusiastically, so no one noticed his arrival. He wandered around the training ground alone and suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding it. From time to time, there would be waves of cheers and the sound of weapons clanging. Who was sparring with so many people watching? Li Bing couldn't help but be curious and quickly walked towards the crowd. At this moment, someone noticed Li Bing's arrival and called out,"Young Master is here!" Everyone hurriedly turned around when they heard this. Now that Li Bing had really come, they hurriedly made way for him so that he could go to the front to take a look. Li Bing made a hush gesture at them, indicating that they should not disturb the written test. Only then did he go to the front.
Once they reached the front, Li Bing finally understood why there were so many people watching. It turned out that the two people sparring in the field were the two generals of Li Bing's cavalry team-Su Dingfang and Qin Yong. These two people were famous figures among the Eighteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Li Bing was also interested in the sparring between the two Tiger Generals. At that moment, he did not care about his status and sat on the ground, happily watching the fun.
Su Dingfang was known as the Silver Spear General. He was riding a Silver Dragon Horse that he had bought from Zhang Qihuai. He held a bright silver spear in his hand and had the demeanor of a general. Qin Yong, on the other hand, was riding an Eight-edged Purple-gold Demon Subduing Pestle that Li Bing had someone forge for him. Although he was young, his ambition did not depend on his age. He was dressed neatly and stared at Su Dingfang opposite him. His aura was not inferior to his opponent.
After all, Qin Yong was still young. He was only fifteen years old this year. He couldn't hold it in any longer and made the first move. He gripped the Eight-edged Purple-gold Demon-subduing Pestle tightly with both hands and clamped his legs on the horse's belly. The Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Stallion spread out its four hooves and charged straight at Su Dingfang. The Eight-edged Purple-gold Demon-subduing Pestle in his hand was also raised high. Seeing that Qin Yong had moved, Su Dingfang followed his trajectory and urged the Silver Dragon Stallion. The bright silver spear in her hand also stabbed straight at Qin Yong. Qin Yong's Eight-Edge Purple-Gold Demon-Subduing Pestle was heavier than Su Dingfang's spear. He aimed at the incoming silver spear and tilted it to the side, deflecting Su Dingfang's stab. He then took the opportunity to smash it at Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang's first attack failed, so he immediately changed his move. He first strengthened his body to block Qin Yong's attack, and then followed the momentum to strengthen his body. The silver spear drew an arc and whistled towards Qin Yong's face. Qin Yong did not dare to be careless. The Eight-Edge Purple-Gold Demon-Subduing Pestle quickly withdrew and blocked Su Dingfang's attack. Qin Yong took the firm and fierce route, mainly chopping, smashing, sweeping, and smashing, while Su Dingfang took the nimble route. The bright silver spear in her hand was like a snake spitting its tongue, dazzling people. The two of them fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and it was very lively.
In the end, Su Dingfang was still older and more experienced. He found a flaw in Qin Yong's attack and feigned a shot. Qin Yong fell for it and was knocked off his horse by Su Dingfang's spear. After Su Dingfang knocked Qin Yong off the horse, he also jumped off the horse and ran to Qin Yong to help him up. Qin Yong didn't seem to be unhappy at all. He just covered his crotch with one hand and held Su Dingfang's hand with the other. He grimaced and said,"Big Brother Su's martial arts are indeed extraordinary. I'm sincerely convinced. In the future, please give me more guidance!”Su Dingfang quickly said politely," Brother Qin, you don't have to be humble. Your martial arts are no longer inferior to Lie's. What you lack is experience. In the future, if you spar more with me, you will definitely be a Yuan Hu General in the future!"”They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Li Bing saw that the two of them had finished their competition and clapped as he stood up and walked in.""Brother Su Lie and Qin Yong are really good at martial arts. I've really seen it today. Not bad, not bad!”
Only then did Su Dingfang and Qin Yong see that it was Li Bing. They quickly knelt on one knee and shouted,"Young Master!" The rest of the people quickly knelt down and shouted in unison,"Young Master!"
Li Bing helped Su Dingfang and Qin Yong up, then motioned for everyone to get up and continue practicing. He himself started talking with Su Dingfang and Qin Yong as they walked.
It turned out that Li Bing saw that the 500 men under him had been trained for three years. They had learned good riding skills and archery. Li Bing intended to train them into the first generation of special forces in the Great Sui Dynasty. Of course, it was impossible to reach the standards of modern special forces. Even Li Bing himself did not know how special forces were trained. He only vaguely knew some conventional training methods through television dramas and magazines. However, there were no firearms in this era, no planes, cars, and cannons. The special forces did not need to learn so many skills. Then, Li Bing told the two of them the idea of forming a special force. The two of them were shocked by this idea, but then they felt that it made sense. The formation of this force had a great effect on the collection of intelligence, the surprise attack and beheading operations in the siege war, and the reconnaissance of the terrain. Therefore, under the joint research of the three of them, the first special force of the Great Sui was born.
Of course, the so-called special forces were only different from ordinary soldiers. In this era, the special forces that Li Bing proposed only had a single type of soldier in terms of physical strength, martial arts, riding and archery, wilderness survival, intelligence gathering, and drawing identification maps. Moreover, the soldiers of the Sting Army fought in a single or three-man team. This was a reference to the combat methods of the later generations.
The daily training content of Absolute Sting was as follows: After waking up in the morning, they would first run 20 miles in groups against logs. Then, in the morning, they would train in equestrian, combat, and riding archery. In the afternoon, they would train in various terrains. In the evening, they would learn about concealment, disguise, maps, and so on. Li Bing only knew so much about some of the training content in the future. This was only formulated after discussing with Su Dingfang and Qin Yong.
Qin Yong was instructed by Li Bing to manage the training of the Absolute Thorn, while Su Dingfang began to recruit a new batch of cavalry under Li Bing's instructions. One had to know that in this era, cavalry was the king.
During this period of time, Li Bing still maintained his usual silkpants appearance in front of the world. He brought Bai Guang to scare the young ladies on the street and went to the brothels to drink wine. Of course, it was only limited to drinking. When he had nothing to do, he used his power to bully the bullies on the street. When his family saw that he had nothing to do, he would run out of the house early. He would either fool around on the streets or not see anyone for a day. Everyone in the Li residence knew Li Bing's personality, so they let him be. In private, he had already established his own forces: Su Dingfang was in charge of 500 cavalrymen, Qin Yong was in charge of 500 scouts, Li Ding was in charge of logistics and account management, Li Shan was in charge of the various businesses of De Bing Hall, Li Miao and Li Yan were in charge of the initial development of the intelligence system, and Li Daozong, who was far away in Chang 'an, was in charge of secretly recruiting a small number of infantry and collecting intelligence in Chang' an.
A month later, Li Bing accompanied by Li Yuanba arrived at Sun Ji's Blacksmith Shop. When Blacksmith Sun saw Li Bing, he warmly welcomed him into the house and said with a smile,"This old man has been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. Today, I heard a magpie chirping in front of the door.”"Master Sun, is my weapon completed?" Li Bing asked.”
"It's done, it's done. It was done three days ago. It's on the shelf in the courtyard now!”Blacksmith Sun hurriedly invited Li Bing and Li Yuanba into the house while he led the way, leading the two to the inner courtyard.
In the courtyard, Li Bing could see a glittering weapon on the weapon rack from afar. He walked in to take a look and saw that it was indeed the halberd he wanted. The halberd's ears were extremely sharp, and the middle of the halberd was slightly thicker. The front section of the halberd had a long blade, and there was a blood groove added on it according to Li Bing's instructions. It was cold and shiny, and the painting pole below was embossed with nine lifelike dragons that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. A layer of gold was cast on it, making the entire halberd shine with a golden light. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
Blacksmith Sun introduced Li Bing as if he was trying to curry favor,""This old man found the famous Zhang Sandiao in Taiyuan Prefecture to carve these coiling dragons. He claimed to be the second best in carving weapons, but no one dared to claim to be the first. According to Young Master's instructions, they were all made of star iron, and they were made from the top and bottom. There were no poles or heads, and they weighed a total of 510 jin! It can be called the world's number one halberd!"
Li Bing quickly pulled out the halberd from the rack. The thickness of the halberd was just right. Moreover, the embossed dragon increased the friction of the hand, making it difficult to slip. The gilding on the casting also ensured that it would not be corroded by sweat. The weight of more than 500 catties would not lose its dexterity because it was too heavy, nor would it lose its weight because it was too light. It was neither light nor heavy. Li Bing was very satisfied with this halberd. He could not help but feel itchy. He immediately started playing with it in the courtyard. When Li Bing practiced martial arts in the past, he didn't have a suitable weapon, so he couldn't find the right feeling. Today, he finally had a suitable weapon, and the martial arts that he had been suppressing for a long time were all released. The halberd and the person became one. Li Yuanba and Blacksmith Sun only saw a golden and silver light crisscrossing in front of them. It was very beautiful in an instant. After a while, Li Bing finished venting. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat on his face. He only looked at the halberd in his hand with a happy expression and shouted excitedly,"Good, good weapon. I finally have my own weapon. What a good Gilded Coiling Dragon Double Eared Sky Halberd!"
