In the fourth year of Wude (621), in December, Du Fuwei fought against Li Zitong by the Lishui River in Danyang.
Adopted son Kan Leng led a thousand mo swordsmen to fight Li Zitong to the death.
This is the first time Modao appeared in the army of the Tang Dynasty.
The appearance of Modao was originally to deal with the Turks and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty infantry.
The Modao is a key weapon to change the disadvantage of the Han nationality and the nomads who are good at riding and shooting, and to give full play to the advantage of having more infantry.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Mo Dao seemed to be transformed into a sharp weapon in the hands of the executioner, constantly harvesting the heads of enemy soldiers, which strongly demonstrated the majestic spirit of the Tang Empire!
However, in the period after the Tang Dynasty, Mo Dao only appeared occasionally and was not popular among the Tang army.
This is because the Mo Dao made in the Tang Dynasty is generally one foot long, and the sword is heavy.
Therefore, these Mo Dao hands are generally well-equipped and powerful people who have undergone strict screening.
Otherwise, it is easy to be injured by Mo Dao.
The Mo Dao Bing of the Tang Dynasty is known as the most aggressive and unique unit in the Tang Dynasty.
However, due to the harsh and picky requirements, the cost and cycle of training and equipping a Mo Dao soldier will not be less than that of a cavalry. With the power of the whole country of the Tang Dynasty, it is only in Anxi Dadu, one of the four major protectorates in the world. There is a military-level establishment.
After Lin Xuan taught them this self-created Modao knife technique, he also taught them a set of Modao formation designed to defeat Turkic cavalry.
As far as Lin Xuan knew, the infantry in the Tang army's tactics of advancing like a wall created a glorious history of war in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty!
Also created the myth of the Modao team!
Especially in the battle against those lightly armored or even unarmored desert light cavalry from countries such as Anxi and Dashi, the efficiency of cutting and killing is quite high. Slashing with a knife is basically a terrifying lethality.
The Mo Dao Army's participation in the battle played a decisive role in any case that can be inquired about.
As a separate combat force in the battle sequence, the Modao Army made great contributions in the later battles of the Tang Army!
The soldiers were overjoyed to hear that the Modao formation was designed to defeat the Turkic cavalry!
Everyone is studying very hard!

Chapter 110 How to defeat the enemy?
So after that, Mo Dao was loved by the soldiers.
Lin Xuan then specially ordered to give priority to making excellent Modao!
Wait until enough war horses arrive, and then create the three horseshoe artifacts.
Hu people really have a way of raising horses. Many of the strong war horses that Lin Xuan bought were actually bought from Hu people.
Lin Xuan then selects the best horses for crossbreeding and domestication, the horses are even stronger and fiercer!
With enough excellent war cavalry, his white robe army and tiger and leopard cavalry can sweep thousands of troops!
Lin Xuan gave priority to building the Modao, so that the elite soldiers guarding Lantian County could adapt to the weight of the Modao first.
This Mo Dao weighed a full fifteen catties, and it was quite strenuous to wield it.
Before the battle, they can only kill the enemy and win the battle if they have practiced to the state of unity of mind and mind with Mo Dao!
Li Jing hadn't led the army for a long time, and this time he even issued a military order.
If he can't sweep the Turkic army, he will come to see him!
Now that he has spoken out, he can't break his word.
Now, on the eve of the great battle, Changsun Wuji was still a little uncertain and worried.
So, I hurried to come to Lin Xuan to ask.
The last time he visited Lantian County and asked about policy, Lin Xuan's talent really impressed him!
Now that Datang is at a critical moment of life and death, Changsun Wuji is even more anxious and worried.
This time, he specially brought a pair of good-quality jades to Lin Xuan.
I just hope that Lin Xuan can give him some guidance.
Changsun Wuji sat on a chair in the hall with an anxious face.
After a long time, Lin Xuan came out to meet each other slowly.
"Hello Mr. Lin!" Changsun Wuji said warmly, welcoming him with a smile on his face.
Lin Xuan glanced at the jade and wooden box on the table.
Lin Xuan nodded lightly.
Then he ordered lightly: "Come here, serve tea to Uncle Sun."
"Steward Cui, put the things in the warehouse."
Then Lin Xuan took a sip of tea, and said with a calm expression: "Uncle Sun's visit this time, I think I have something to ask for."
"Mr. Lin is really a god and man, and he already knew it?!" Changsun Wuji was surprised.
Lin Xuan looked at Changsun Wuji speechlessly.
nonsense!
In less than half a month, the Tang army will officially start a war with the Turks.
You are not at home to stay well.
He made a special trip from Chang'an City to Lantian County to look for me, and even brought him a special gift. If he didn't ask for something, would he be able to find him for tea in a hurry?
Looking at the excited grandson Wuji, Lin Xuan said lightly: "You want to ask me how the Tang Dynasty can defeat the Turkic cavalry in this battle, right?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and flattered him in every possible way: "Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Lin, you really deserve to be a peerless master!"
"Haha, I haven't said it yet, you already know..."
"You must have a countermeasure in mind."
Changsun Wuji almost wrote those flattering words on his forehead.
"Okay, stop." Lin Xuan said coldly.
