"yes!"

After conveying the orders of Lao Zhong, the envoy quickly left in front of Tianmu and others.

After the messenger left, Shengtianmu stood up from the ground.

Then he laughed to the sky.

"Akiyue! Kuroda! Summon all the soldiers in the city!"

"It's going to go out!"

...

...

Pu Sheng Laoxing, the general of the Aijin Army, is a man who doesn't look very much like a military general.

Not quite burly, although his height is higher than that of ordinary people, if it is replaced by the length unit of modern earth, his height is above 1.6 meters. Such height is not as tall as a giant.

But even though he has such a look that doesn't look like a military general, he is one of the best generals in the Aizu family.

The Shengtianmu and his group of people from the Sintai vassal have been working hard to temper their bodies and martial arts every day.

And Pu Sheng is the same.

However, Pu Sheng’s daily practice is much quieter than the Tianmu and others.

At this moment, Pu Sheng stood in front of a wooden stake with leaves falling.

Pu Sheng is famous for his "Taidao technique".

His love knife - Lei Zuo, hung quietly on his left waist.

The Taidao is quite different from the knives used by warriors nowadays.

The two biggest differences are the differences in how they are worn and the popularity era.

When the knife is worn on the waist, the blade is facing upwards.

When wearing the Taidao, the blade is facing downwards.

The reason why such a difference in wearing methods arises is mainly because the two knives are used in different types of battles.

Taidao is mainly used for horse warfare, while fighting swords are mainly used for infantry warfare.

When riding on a horse, wear the blade facing downwards, which can easily pull the knife out and quickly enter the battle.

And if the blade is worn facing down, the bottom of the scabbard will not easily poke the horse's butt.

Taidao was mainly popular in the late Heian period for hundreds of years and the Kamakura Shogunate period afterwards.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Sui envoys were sent and the Tang envoys were sent to learn the advanced culture and system of the Tang territory, Japan entered three eras - the Asuka era, the Nara era, and the Heian era.

These three eras combined span exactly 600 years (592 AD-1192 AD).

During these 600 years, the Emperor was a veritable head of state and held the power of the state.

Taidao became popular in the late Heian era.

At the end of the Heian era, the Samurai Group seized the power of the state from the Emperor and established the first shogunate in history, the Kamakura Shogunate, and Taidao developed to its peak.

During the period from the Heian era to the Kamakura shogunate era, single-handed fights were particularly popular among samurai during wars.

During the war, both sides first arrange the formation and after they are ready, they fire a dysprosium arrow in the direction of the opponent's military formation.

As the arrow dragged the sharp whistling sound passed through the air, the generals on both sides rode out of the army and came to the open space in the middle.

Next, the generals from both sides shouted their throats and introduced themselves, which was nothing more than showing off their homes and their bravery.

I am who, my ancestor XXX, and I have won battles in which dynasty and generation, and cut off someone's heads. And I am such a powerful warrior, and I have killed someone who has killed someone in the formation - this is the most mainstream self-introduction content at that time.

After introducing themselves, the generals of both sides began to fight one-on-one.

This kind of single-handed challenge is called "one-rider challenge".

At that time, everyone was basically riding on horseback and using a sword to fight one-on-one.

The real man is a real man and a real warrior - this is the general view of the warriors of that era.

Then their "one-on-one challenge culture" made a lot of jokes when the Yuan Dynasty sent troops to them.

In the late Kamakura era, after the Yuan Dynasty army crossed the sea, many Japanese generals foolishly planned to play a one-on-one fight with the Yuan army.

So at the beginning of the war, you can see such a scene:

The Japanese generals walked out of the formation in gorgeous armor and carrying a sword, shouting loudly to the Yuan army formation, asking the most powerful warriors of the Yuan army to come out to "confront him" with him.

The Yuan army generals looked at the Japanese general who had inexplicably stepped out of the battle and then said some inexplicably.

The generals of the Yuan army were moved by the Japanese general's behavior of "sending people's heads thousands of miles away".

So he raised his hand and fired a thousand arrows at the same time, shooting the Japanese general into a hedgehog.

In Eurasia, there were countless Yuan troops fighting fiercely in Europe and Asia. I have never seen any war scenes? Tell you about martial ethics?

There are still many paintings depicting the "Yennium and Japan War" flowing.

Many of these paintings depict considerable content - Japanese generals wearing gorgeous armor were shot into hedgehogs by Yuan army arrows, or Japanese generals were shot into a scattered head with arrows.

After being severely "trained" by the Yuan army, the Japanese army suddenly realized that their "one cavalry" was useless in real war.

Therefore, since the "Year-Japan Joint War", Japan's "One-Kim" culture has weakened.

In the future, Japan fought wars, whether it was internal or external wars, it did not play any "one-rider challenge".

The decline of the "Yiqi Cha" culture also weakened Taidao.

After the demise of the Kamakura Shogunate, the second shogunate, Muromachi Shogunate, was established, and a knife-killing specialized in infantry war began to appear.

In the Warring States Period after the Muromachi Shogunate and the Edo Period established by the Edo Shogunate in the present, the sword development reached its peak.

In the Edo era, every samurai wore a knife around her waist. The tooth knife became a rare weapon.

In the Edo era, wearing a knife without a knife is like wearing a suit and sneakers on her feet.

Therefore, at a time when Taidao is already very rare, Pu Sheng, who has the superb "Taidao technique", is rarely like a rare animal.

Pu Sheng, who was standing in front of the wooden stake, was like an old pine tree, and did not move at all.

He has actually maintained this half-squat posture for half an hour.

Finally - he slowly put his right hand on the blade facing down and hung it on the hilt of the Thunder Walker around his waist.

He pushed open the sheath, continued to hang his left arm, stepped firmly, and continued to look straight at the wooden stake in front of him.

He adjusted his breath, and after about a while, Pu Sheng twisted his waist, shouted, stepped and squatted, the sword light flashed, and then the blade quickly retracted into the sheath.

After retracting the knife and returning it to the sheath, the wooden stake in front of Pu Sheng turned out to be-!

No changes...

After retracting the thunderbolt back into the scabbard, Pu Sheng stood up straight, then raised his hand and poked the wooden stake gently.

Click...

With a slight cracking sound, it sounded.

A diagonal knife mark appeared on the wooden stake.

Then the wooden stake slowly fell to the ground along the oblique cut.

After the upper half of the wooden stake fell to the ground, a waiter who had been standing beside him quickly smiled and greeted him with a sweat towel.

"Mr. Pu Sheng, your technique is really amazing the more you read it!"

This envoy actually couldn't understand what Pu Sheng's technique was so wonderful, but he just slapped the horse.

Pu Sheng ignored his waiter and took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

He was actually practicing concentration just now.

Cut off the wooden stake with one knife, and keep the wooden stake as it is after being cut diagonally - this is not a difficult task, as long as the knife is fast and stable enough.

The difficulty is to keep the body's center of gravity down. After not moving for half an hour, the wooden stake can be accurately cut off, and the wooden stake can still remain the same.

While Pu Sheng was wiping sweat with a sweat towel, the waiter who had just handed the sweat towel was still flattering.

"With Lord Pu Sheng's skills, he will definitely be able to show his might in this war with the Ainu people! Let the name of bravery be kept in history forever!"

Pu Sheng has always been a person with little expression and no words.

Since the beginning, I have always been posing with a "dead mother's face" that looks like a relative who has just passed away.

But after hearing what the waiter said just now, Pu Sheng's eyes were filled with emotions.

He pulled out the thunder from his waist again, then raised Leizhou and pointed the tip of the knife straight into the sky.

Because Taidao is a knife specially used for horse battles, the length of the Taidao is often longer than that of the knife. In order to facilitate chopping on the horse's back, the curve of the blade is basically larger than that of the knife.

But this is not absolute. Some knives have the same length and arc as those of the Taidao.

Okaga's Dashitian is the best example.

Although Okaga's Dashi Tian is a knife, the blade is 75cm long and the blade has a very large arc. It is a typical "knife that is no different from Taidao".
