The Rise of the European Emperor

There are many advantages of the horse lance. In addition to the fact that the lance can bend itself to offset most of the impact force during a severe collision, the lance has been specially treated and the knife is constantly chopped, which is also an important feature.

In his last life, Malin had seen a movie "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", in which there was a plot of Tang Bohu's father and Tang Bohu's own red tassels, which were directly cut off from the wooden pole by the opponent's sword. And if Ma Leng was slashed by a knife while fighting the enemy, the only remaining Lance would become a long burning stick, which would be useless in combat.

Unlike the horse lance, a lot of complicated techniques and materials are used in the production process of its lance. Moreover, when the lance is not made, "keep slashing with a knife" is one of the qualified standards. Therefore, Ma lance's lance is not afraid of being cut by a knife. A well-made horse lance cannot be used for personal use. As long as it is well cared for, it can even be passed on to children and grandchildren for continued use, with a long service life. Unlike the lance, after a battle, it is necessary to change a few. The trouble of changing a lance is secondary, and the most terrifying thing is that during the period of time without a lance, the knight's self-protection ability will be greatly reduced. If a knight with a broken lance encounters a knight whose lance is not broken by the enemy, he may be knocked off his horse at once, injured or even captured.

On the other hand, Ma Leng is different. He can use it repeatedly without worrying about breaking it. Moreover, the length of the lance is longer than that of the lance. The lance is generally more than 2 meters long. The back is a solid or hollow thick wooden stick with a metal gun point added to the front. When colliding, the recoil force is offset by the break of the hollow wooden stick. The length of the horse lance is generally two feet, that is, three or four meters long, which is longer than the lance. If it was a hedge, Ma Leng would definitely stab the knight with a lance with a length of more than 2 meters. Although the lance may not be able to pierce the plate armor, it is still possible to dismount the knight. Relying on the advantage of being one or two meters longer than the lance, it is bound to hit the opponent first. Moreover, the knight wore full armor, so it was inconvenient to bend over to avoid it. Because of this, the later cuirassiers used three-quarter cuirass to make the cavalry’s waist more flexible in order to facilitate the cavalry to bend over and chop the infantry with a saber.

In fact, it's not that the knights don't want to use longer lances, but, the lances are very heavy! The second half of the lance is a thick wooden stick. Even hollow, it is very heavy. Therefore, the lance can be made 2 meters long, which is almost the same. If it is longer, the knight will not be able to hold it with one hand.

And because of the excellent manufacturing process, the horse lance is three or four meters long, but its weight is similar to that of an ordinary spear, and it is much lighter than a lance. Therefore, it can be made three or four meters long. Holding a lance with one hand and holding a lance with one hand are very different experiences. Holding a lance with one hand is equivalent to holding a thick wooden stake, which is very laborious. While holding a horse lance in one hand, it is like a long bamboo pole, the ease of which can be imagined.

The only trouble with Ma Lan is its supporting horse-riding skills. Because the lance is more than just a spear tip,

It's a short sword that is edged left and right. Therefore, Ma Leng can not only stab, but also slash and swipe with the lance. However, it is not so easy to use the three- or four-meter-long horse lance to perform related martial arts on a horse, and it is impossible to do it without years of practice.

Famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, such as Qin Qiong, Yuchigong and Cheng Yaojin, wrote nonsense in Romance, saying that they used a double mace, an iron whip and a flat axe are all nonsense. In the real history, these three warriors were all good at using horse lances. Moreover, all three of them came from an aristocratic family, and Ma Leng was probably passed down from his ancestors. Moreover, the three of them were the leaders of the most elite black-armored cavalry under Li Shimin's command. However, Ma Leng has many techniques and requires years of training.

Of course, for European knights, even if they don't know other kinds of usage of horse lance, it's fine, as long as they know how to charge and stab with horse lance, it is enough. Anyway, Ma Leng is equivalent to a lance that can be used for a long time, and it is not easy to be hurt by the recoil force.

Marin has formed Lancers. Although the charge speed is limited in order to avoid injury, the power is not small. If it is replaced by Ma Leng, then it can be released to charge. A bird cavalryman like the Polish winged cavalry, charging with a lance, Marin thought it was cool, it was much better than a cuirassier cavalry with a sabre.

After all, in a cavalry battle, an inch is longer and an inch is stronger. The horse lance is up to 4 meters long, and it is light and flexible. Against a cuirassier holding a saber or a cavalry sword, a cavalry holding a lance can stab the cuirassier off the horse at a distance of two or three meters, or even stab him to death on the spot. Even a plate knight who uses a lance, armed with a 2-meter-long lance, will be attacked one step ahead of the lance user. Even if the lance can't pierce the plate armor, it can still be done by stabbing the knight off the horse.

In fact, many of the casualties of knights were not on horseback at all, but were injured or even trampled to death after being knocked off the horse. It is rare to be KOed directly on the horse's back. Unless you encounter a violent man like Kahn and hit him directly with a mace, he will be severely injured before he falls off the horse.

For example, when a Swiss mercenary killed a knight, he threw the knight off the horse after the spearman stabbed the horse, wounded or died. The Swiss mercenaries then used hammers or tomahawks to smash or injure knights who fell to pieces after falling from their horses.

Marin can't wait to go to the Ming Dynasty to find materials for making horse lance. After all, he knew Ma Lan's manufacturing materials and general process. If you can find craftsmen who are proficient in making horse lances, that would be great. The reason for looking for craftsmen who are proficient in making horse lances is not only to make horse lances, but more importantly, it is actually to find horse lances for the use of martial arts. Only in this way can Ma Leng's power be fully exerted. Because the craftsmanship of Ma Leng is generally in the hands of the generals and families handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and will not be known by ordinary craftsmen. If you can find someone who can make horse lances, 80% of them will also be able to find a manual of horse lance techniques.

Before leaving the cottage where the bandits were entrenched, Marin killed the 8 wandering knights who had been evil for many years, but released most of the ordinary bandits. Because many bandits are forced to become bandits because they have no food to eat. And the eight wandering knights were different. They obviously had a lot of skills. Even if they couldn't find a big noble to serve, they could find a rich businessman to serve, and it would be no problem to be a guard who didn't worry about food and clothing. But they chose to be bandits, obviously morally corrupt. So Marin killed and buried the eight. Then, all the bandits were disbanded. For those who were injured, Marin also took part of the money and food seized by Shanzhai Li and distributed them to them, so that they could go home to recuperate.

After dealing with these bandits, Marin continued south with his men. In fact, Marin didn't want to let the bandits go so easily. However, he is in a hurry to go to Rome now, and he has no time to carefully identify the quality of those bandits. Not knowing whether it was good or bad, Marin chose to kill the 8 chief villains, and let the other ordinary bandits deal with it, so that he could escape smoothly.

Moreover, Marin did not choose to hand over those bandits to the official Duchy of Württemberg. Because, the Duke of Württemberg is a member of the Swabian League and belongs to the emperor's faction.

Marin is now trying to avoid the emperor, to avoid being caught and forced to send troops to fight for George. Therefore, when going south this time, Marin did not take the main road. When encountering the countries of the Swabian Alliance, he basically followed the small road to avoid being discovered by the emperor. Then, I met this group of bandits...
