Chapter 9 The Drum and the Golden Hammer

That night, Luo Feng and Qin Qiong chatted until midnight, and they seemed to be very speculative. Although the two cousins ​​had never met before, they felt very close when they talked, especially Qin Qiong found that although his little cousin was very young, he was different from the country boy like Luo Xiaoqi and Luo Xiaojiu. He spoke extraordinaryly and had good insights into many things.

He attributed it to Luo Feng's natural intelligence, or he had been taught by his aunt since childhood, and had learned literature and learned calligraphy, so he was no more than ordinary country people. Therefore, he loved this cousin more and more.

This chat was until dawn was about to go to bed.

Morning.

Luo Feng felt a little cold on his body. He opened his eyes and woke up. He found that Qin Qiong had already gotten up, but several fellow villagers in Nanshan Village were still sleeping soundly.

He lifted the thin quilt on his body, rubbed his face, and he also got up and got out of bed.

When I opened the door, the air conditioner outside the house hit me.

In the morning fog and cold wind, cousin Qin Qiong was already practicing martial arts.

Qin Qiong held a pair of maces in his hand, and each move was very powerful, and even fog had been trained above his head.

"Little Wu woke up?"

"Second brother got up so early to practice martial arts?"

"Practice in summer, practice in winter, and practice in winter, and those who practice martial arts cannot be abandoned for one day. I have been used to it for a long time, and I will wake up by myself as soon as the sky is dawn."

"The second brother is so good at playing this mace." Luo Feng didn't understand martial arts, but he could also see that Qin Qiong's moves are very good.

"My mace method is passed down from the family. I practice swords at the age of three, maces at the age of five, bows at the age of seven, horses at the age of nine, and spears at the age of twelve..." When talking about martial arts, Qin Qiong was very confident.

Qin Qiong's ancestors were officials in the Northern Dynasties for several generations. Although they were mainly civil servants, the world had been in turmoil since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, especially in the north, wars were frequent. Men from aristocratic families also practiced both civil and military cultivation, especially the powerful families with good backgrounds, almost all of them were able to ride and shoot, ride horses and carry swords with them.

"Xiao Wu, have you ever learned martial arts?" Qin Qiong asked.

Luo Feng shook his head.

His father was just a blacksmith in the countryside of Zhangqiu. His family had been blacksmiths for generations. I don’t know why he could marry a woman from the Qin family in Licheng back then, but his father was indeed just an ordinary blacksmith before. In his memory, Blacksmith Luo did not have any martial arts skills, but had good strength.

Luo Feng learned to make a blacksmith when he was young, but he had never learned much martial arts, but he was indeed very strong.

Qin Qiong handed a mace to Luo Feng, "Let me see what you are doing?"

Maces are blunt weapons, which are generally equipped with cavalry in the army. This blunt weapon is generally designed to break the armor of enemy cavalry. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, cavalry has grown up with armor. For example, the famous armored cavalry equipment, which means that all people and horses are wearing armor, sometimes even more than one layer of armor, which is usually difficult to hurt by swords.

At this time, using blunt objects such as maces, whips, hammers, etc. will often have more damage than the effect of a knife and arrow. The blunt objects do not need to penetrate, but shock the enemy's internal organs.

However, this kind of blunt weapon also requires a high level of strength for the messenger, and generally speaking, it is a great deal of strength. Because ordinary swords also weigh two or three pounds, while blunt weapons such as whip, mace, hammers are even heavier, often reaching four or five pounds. It is not something that everyone can do when wielding a blunt weapon weighing four or five pounds with one hand.

The golden mace is heavy. It is a tile-faced gold-suited mace, with a golden surface and a fine copper inside. It has a four-edge shape. This mace has a strong killing power. Not only is it powerful and strong, but its four-sided ridges also have extremely strong armor-breaking and damage ability.

The mace is four feet long, the mace body is unblocked, the mace end has no tip, the surface is square, with grooves, and can kill the enemy through the armor.

I thought it would be difficult for him to grasp such a heavy army, but Luo Feng felt that it was not too heavy when he got it. He felt that this was not as hard as the big hammer he held when he helped his father make an iron.

Blacksmith apprentices start with sledgehammers. The younger the apprentice holds, the heavier the hammer, and the more the master takes, the smaller the hammer. It is said that the small hammer is in his heart, and the sledgehammer moves away.

The master is in charge of the small hammer, while the apprentice holds the sledgehammer forging. After years of holding the hammer forging, you can develop a brute force.

In the past, Luo Feng held a hammer that was much heavier than this one. Although his hammer was holding the hammer with both hands, he really didn't feel that it was difficult to grasp the copper mace.

He waved a few casually, dancing a few sword moves, not from anyone, but from those who were dancing in later martial arts movies, which seemed a bit similar.

Qin Qiong was shocked by this relaxed look. Each of his maces was four and a half pounds, and the pair was nine pounds together.

"Born of divine power, good!"

As he said that, Qin Qiong waved another mace and attacked, and Luo Feng quickly raised his mace to block it.

You go back and forth, fighting each other.

After a while, Luo Feng was already in a difficult position, but Qin Qiong was still calm. In fact, he was just testing his cousin's strength and reaction and did not really exert force.

"Yes, my cousin has never learned martial arts, but he is very strong. This golden mace is waving in your hand for a long time without any problem. Moreover, your reaction is actually very agile. Unfortunately, I missed the good age to learn martial arts. If you start from elementary school, you will have the natural power of yours, and your ability will definitely be far better than mine."

"Where, my brute force was actually practiced by my father as a child."

"Then you are suitable for a weapon right now." Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"What weapon?"

"hammer."

"What?"

"I said you're suitable for using a hammer."

Luo Feng initially thought Qin Qiong was joking with him, but seeing that he looked so serious, he realized that he was not joking.

Cavalry does use hammers, but like maces, they are actually just backup weapons for cavalry, usually used when using close-up or in hand-to-hand combat.

Compared to maces, hammers actually require more strength, because mace whip is similar to swords, but they are heavier than swords, but the hammer has a center of gravity and is very forward, making it difficult to swing back and forth. Generally, one hammer passes by to determine life and death, commonly known as one hammer transaction, and there is no return.

Moreover, because the center of gravity is forward, the hammer needs great strength.

Although the hammers used by normal cavalry also have various types, such as six-sided hammers, eight-petal hammers, meteor hammers, broken gold hammers, etc., they generally have a common feature, that is, the handle is short, and the hammer is generally between two and three feet, and it will not be as long as four or five feet like a whip mace.

Moreover, although the hammer is heavy, it is not too heavy, mainly three or four pounds.

Some generals with great strength may use a heavier hammer, but generally they cannot exceed six or seven kilograms, and most of them will not exceed four or five kilograms.

Even if it is a four or five pound hammer, few people can really use it. After all, this kind of hammer is a weapon, not for fitness.

"You have great strength. I think you can use this golden mace and you feel that you can use a hammer, or even a heavy hammer of five to six pounds. Sometimes, a strong strength is also a talent and advantage. As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten times, and one hammer can defeat ten enemies."

After hearing what Qin Qiong said, Luo Feng was a little moved. Maybe he could practice hammers when he had time.
