Chapter 1631 Soul-Stirring

"That's right, Fraxis, I want to buy this Scottish buckler for 6,500 euros. Unless you go back on your word and refuse to admit the offer you just made, it's better not to have such a thing happen!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, his tone was very relaxed, but the meaning of warning in the words could be heard by everyone.

Fraxis woke up with a start, and couldn't help shivering, with a cold breath coming from his back.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stretched out his right hand hastily, and shook hands with Ye Tian's big hand.

"Okay, Steven, six thousand and five hundred euros, this Scottish buckler belongs to you, don't forget your promise just now, I really want to know, why did you buy this refined iron buckler?"

"Don't worry, Fraxis, since I promised, I won't break my promise and get fat"

"Well then, I am very much looking forward to hearing your professional explanation"

Fraxis nodded in response, eyes full of doubts, but also full of expectation.

The same was true of many onlookers at the scene, everyone wanted to hear Ye Tian's explanation of why he fell in love with that Scottish buckler, and what secrets were hidden in that rusty fine iron buckler.

Everything that is happening here, like the wind, quickly spread throughout the Sarea Square and reached the ears of almost everyone.

Hearing that Ye Tian was about to give a public lecture and conduct an on-site appraisal, many people rushed over here like a tide, everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations!

That guy, Steven, is the top expert in the identification of antique works of art. His vision is extremely sharp. His on-site explanation and identification must be very exciting, absolutely not to be missed!

When people rushed here excitedly, Ye Tian had already completed the bank transfer and actually won the Scottish Buckler.

Betty and the others, Fracis, and many onlookers at the scene were all watching him, expecting him to start performing.

Ye Tian stretched out his hand to pick up the Scottish Buckler from the booth, carefully admired it over and over again, then held it in his hand, and showed it to everyone present.

At the same time, he also scanned the scene, and then said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Steven and I am very glad to meet you here. Next, I will introduce this Scottish buckler to you and conduct an on-site appraisal.

The Scottish Buckler, as the name suggests, is a cold weapon shield born in Scotland. Its appearance can be traced back to before the Middle Ages and has a long history.

Unlike other shields, the Scottish Buckler is a cold weapon that integrates offense and defense. Its biggest feature is the conical bayonet in the center of the shield, which can not only stab but also block! "

Speaking of this, Ye Tian took out a tapered bayonet about 30 cm long from the long cloth bag on the back of the round shield, and installed it on the shield heart very skillfully!

Immediately afterwards, he held up the Scotch shield with the tapered bayonet, showed it to everyone, and made two forward thrusts like lightning.

Following his action, everyone at the scene felt their hearts tense, and a bit of fear flashed in their eyes immediately.

The Scottish buckler with the bayonet turned into a murderous weapon that can be used to attack, retreat and defend in an instant, especially in the hands of Ye Tian, ​​which makes everyone terrified!

The chill on everyone's bodies hadn't receded yet, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"Although the Scottish round shield has a long history, it was little known before the mid-eighteenth century. It was basically only circulated in Scotland, and it was a unique cold weapon for the Scots.

It wasn't until around 1745 that the Scottish people set off a wave of uprisings against the rule of England in order to maintain their national independence. In battles, the Scottish round shield became famous all over the world.

The most famous of these was the 1745 uprising led by "Prince Charles the Beautiful". He united with France to fight back from the European continent to the ancestral land of Scotland in an attempt to restore the Stuart dynasty.

Most of the rebel army under his leadership were Scottish farmers, with only machetes and round shields in their hands, and their equipment was very simple. The enemy they faced was the established British army with firearms.

But it was this poorly equipped rebel army that killed the British army with heartbreak and fear. Among them, the most frightening thing for the English is the Scottish round shield with a tapered bayonet.

In battle, when the British stabbed the British with the bayonet on the quick-fire gun, the Scots would block with the round shield in their hands, put the British rifle aside, and then kill the British with a broadsword.

The Scottish rebel army led by Prince Charles of the United States not only occupied most of Scotland, but also swept southward to a place only 130 miles away from London.

But it is a pity that in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the Scottish uprising army finally failed. Otherwise, the history of the Stuart dynasty would be rewritten.

Once upon a time, the Scottish Highland clan who wore plaid skirts, held a Scottish buckler and a dagger in one hand, and wielded a basket-shaped glove knife in the other hand, and the Englishmen who had killed fled after hearing the news!

Although the Scottish uprising led by "Charlie the Beautiful" failed, the Scottish Buckler, which repeatedly damaged the English army on the battlefield, became famous all over the world and became known all over the world.

It is a pity that the Scottish buckler, which blocked the English from firing their guns, could not stop the cannons of the English army. It soon withdrew from the stage of history and was completely replaced by hot weapons! "

The scene was quiet, only Ye Tianqing's clear voice circulated in the air and lingered in people's ears.

Everyone has been fascinated by it, and some people even have such a blood-boiling picture in their minds.

Countless Scots wearing plaid skirts, holding Scottish round shields, and wielding basket-shaped glove knives rushed towards the British army standing with guns like a raging flood, shouting frantically!

Immediately afterwards, there was a bloody fight to the death.

Countless Scots were hit by muskets, stabbed by bayonets, and died on the battlefield after screaming.

The English also suffered heavy casualties. After some people's rifles were blocked by the Scottish buckler, before they could react, they were hacked to death by the basket-shaped glove knife that followed!

There are also some English soldiers who died directly from the tapered bayonet of the Scottish round shield, or died under the dagger hidden on the back of the shield, and reported to hell one after another.

Among the onlookers at Saleya Square were a few guys who happened to be from the Scottish region.

Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, these guys were all very excited, and everyone's eyes were flashing with fanaticism and full of pride!

Just like William Wallace in the Middle Ages, Prince Charlie is also a hero of the Scots. The Scottish Buckler and Basket-shaped Hand Knife are the famous cold weapons that the Scots are proud of!

At this time, when Ye Tian mentioned these names and weapons one by one, they all felt proud.

As for some Englishmen who were also in Sarea Square, they didn't feel much better, but they had no choice but to spit or curse secretly, and then continued to listen.

Ye Tianqing's clear voice still kept coming out, reaching everyone's ears.

"After introducing the history of the Scottish Buckler, now let's talk about the shield in my hand. The ordinary Scottish Buckler is made of rawhide and two layers of wood, but this shield is made of refined iron..."
