Chapter 10 Martial Arts Competition
"Ten enemies? It's such a big breath, I'm afraid that I won't be able to beat even a guy on the school ground. Guo Qianjin sneered, and as he spoke, he walked with Li Bai into Beiting City.
Beiting City is very local, even in the city, there are large areas of cultivated land, the advantage is that even if the enemy comes, he can rely on this cultivated land to support himself for a period of time, and will not run out of food.
The disadvantage is that such a small amount of food can at most meet the needs of 10,000 people, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
At this time, there were thousands of people in Beiting City, and there were people with different characteristics coming and going on the streets, and they entered the West Market not long after they entered.
In the Tang Dynasty, the city was divided into commercial districts, with special personnel to manage, and the fang was a residential area, with a fang with a fang with a fang to manage.
Mulan once said in her speech, "The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddles, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips." This is the city of it.
It stands to reason that the commerce of the Tang Dynasty was far less developed than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was separated by the city of Houfang. However, in this Beiting Castle, due to its geographical advantages and the promotion of the Metropolitan Palace, commerce has flourished to the extreme.
It can be seen just by looking at the merchants of these Western Regions countries and the mainland merchants who have continuously transported silk, tea and other commodities from the mainland.
This is not because Guo Qianjin is a mercantilist, but because without promoting commerce, Beiting City will not be able to levy a large amount of commercial taxes to maintain the army.
The permanent army in Beiting is generally not less than 20,000 people, although the imperial court will allocate a large amount of supplies and treasures every year, and the capital protector Guo Qianjin also implemented the tuntian system to reduce expenses, and set up layers of checkpoints to collect commercial taxes, but the annual military expenditure is still stretched.
20,000 people may not seem like much at first glance, but in fact, the larger countries in the entire Western Regions, such as Shule, according to the Hanshu Western Regions Biography, recorded: "1,510 households, 18,647 mouths, and 2,000 victorious soldiers." ”
There is also the Yanqi Kingdom, which is "4,000 households, 32,100 mouths, and 6,000 victorious soldiers." ”
This is still the case for the top big countries in the Western Regions, and the other small countries are even less worth mentioning.
Although the states of the Western Regions were nominally states, they were in fact similar to the city-states of ancient Greece, and for them, a huge army of 20,000 people was enough to be called an invincible army, not to mention that this army was also the elite army of the Tang Dynasty.
The government soldiers are professional soldiers, and the Tang Dynasty has not been peaceful for a long time, the war continues, and the combat effectiveness of the army is still maintained at a fairly high level, but it is a pity that with the continuous conquest and the vast area that needs to be controlled, the Tang army's strength in this area is still stretched.
There are too few Han people in the Western Regions, and every one of them is very expensive, even if they are prisoners from the mainland, they are all good soldiers here.
Modern people think that ancient China relied on the tactics of crowds to dominate, in fact, this is a wrong view, for example, the most famous Xuanjia elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, the shape of human and horse, was the first dynasty in the world to use stirrups on a large scale and use shock cavalry in actual combat.
Such a powerful cavalry was six or seven hundred years earlier than the three major knightly orders in Europe, the temple, the hospital and the Teutonic order, and its equipment was much better, and its combat effectiveness was naturally even more undoubted.
After passing through the West Market, you will come to the school field in the city, and the school field in the north garden is adjacent to the Metropolitan Mansion, and there is no concept of the city center in this year, so it is very common to place the school field in the city.
When I came to the school grounds, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Thousands of soldiers are training on the school ground, some carrying stone locks, some stabbing with guns, some practicing horizontal knives, and some practicing military formations under the command of the team and the fire head; under the scorching sun, the soldiers sweat like rain, and the male hormones ferment in the air, making people spontaneously have a feeling of surging blood.
[It is said that the troops guarding the North Court are all our SD people.] 】
[That's right, according to the historical records, most of the ambushes in Beiting and Anxi were SD government soldiers. 】
[It's a pity that the SD people can't understand what they're saying.] 】
"Call your brigade commander here. Guo Qianjin beckoned a team leader and said to him.
He turned back to Li Bai and said: "Don't say that a certain family bullies you, since you said that you can fight ten people, then you can pick ten of the thousand men of a certain family, even if it is the weakest, as long as you can win, how about giving you a positive position." ”
Although the team is not at the level, it can already handle 50 people, which is equivalent to a platoon commander, and he has been directly promoted from a civilian man who is not even a regular soldier to the team leader, which is already an exceptional promotion.
Li Bai frowned, if the ten-person enemy he said dealt with ten campus gangsters and the like, it would naturally be easy to capture, but it would be a little difficult to face these fierce Tang troops who were not weak.
"What if I lose?" Li Bai didn't feel ashamed of the defeat before the battle, and said bluntly.
I saw Guo Qianjin show a sneer: "If you can't...... Hehe, even if you are a family member, you have to go to build the Great Wall for a certain obedient person!"
"Yes. Li Bai nodded, "But I don't choose myself, and I won't choose the weakest, wait for the brigade commander to come later, and let him point to ten people at will." ”
Guo Qianjin snorted, waited in place without saying anything, and after a while, a sturdy man with a bare upper body strode over: "What do you want from the governor?"
"Pick any ten people and teach this kid a lesson. Guo Qianjin didn't have any eyelids, standing there like a green pine, rooted in the ground, and didn't seem to move a little from beginning to end.
The brigade commander was slightly stunned, and then said, "Yes." ”
Immediately, I saw him turn around and casually pointed to the fire and said, "Zhang Qiliang, call Liu Wenchong to bring your people over, and this ...... Little brothers compete against each other. ”
The fire head had a big waist and a round waist, and his body was extremely tall and nearly two meters, and he was silently holding the stone lock, but when he heard the words and greeted a companion, he strode over, and his huge body covered a shadow, just like a little giant.
Guo Qianjin gloated and sneered: "Boy, if you regret it, it's too late to say it now." ”
Li Bai felt a lot of pressure, but thinking of the power of his wine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - he should be able to win.
"Brigade marshal, so-and-so is here. Zhang Qiliang stood in front of the brigade commander, but he didn't recognize Guo Qianjin, and said with a loud voice.
His companion Liu Wenchong was also a strong man, taciturn, but he stood beside Zhang Qiliang and did not speak. This Liu Wenchong is also more than 1.8 meters tall, but he is not as frantic as Zhang Qiliang, and when the two stand together, they look a little short.
"Didn't you understand the people who asked you to call you?" reprimanded the brigade commander.
Zhang Qiliang scratched his head: "The brigade commander is too bullying, Lang Jun is young, and a certain two people are already bullying the small, how can they add the brothers under their hands?"
The brigade commander was speechless, and secretly scolded himself for not ordering such a rammer, glanced at Guo Qianjin, and saw that he was still expressionless, and said with some trepidation: "You rammer (hang) goods, this is an order, how can you be allowed to push back." ”
Zhang Qiliang said seriously: "I didn't fight, and you didn't hold the clothes, so it's not like what you say and what you want to do?"
The brigade marshal wants to scold the street......
Li Bai was full of interest on the side, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, the backbone of the Han people in this era was straight, it is said that ordinary people can call themselves 'I' and 'so' when they see the emperor, and there are seats in the last dynasty, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, who can only kneel.
But I heard Guo Qianjin suddenly say: "Okay, let them fight with this Langjun first, if they lose, there is no need to continue to compete." ”
Zhang Qiliang didn't recognize Guo Qianjin, and just wanted to shirk it, he saw his companion Liu Wenchong pull him and said, "Lang Jun, be careful, let's stop at the point." ”
Saying that, he took the lead in smashing out a punch, Li Bai saw that the other party was bare-handed, and he also untied the green steel sword he was carrying, and threw it to Guo Qianjin, and then strode directly to meet it, followed by a whip leg to pull the other party back.
Liu Wenchong's face changed slightly, although he had left his hand just now, he could also see that the other party had obviously left his hand as well, and the strength shown by the other party's whip leg was quite extraordinary.
"Offended. He shouted, and flew up again, although a pair of iron fists were unpretentious but powerful, even Li Bai had to praise the other party's extraordinary strength, and he was afraid that he could easily sweep away a dozen ruffians and hooligans in this world.
It's a pity that Li Bai's boxing skills are far more clever than the other party!
I saw that the two of them were fighting together in an instant, but then they heard a muffled sound, and the two of them staggered, Liu Wenchong was still standing in place in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Lang Jun's boxing method is really clever, can it have a name?"
"Chivalrous walk. Li Bai said.
"Good name. ”
"Chivalry, it's just a technique. Guo Qianjin snorted coldly, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and his perception of the so-called chivalry is obviously average.
At this time, the live broadcast room was boiling again, and there was no slow-motion replay of such a short moment of fighting, and the vast majority of the audience didn't see what was going on at all.
But at this time, Zhang Qiliang said: "Lang Jun is so handsome, a certain Zhang Qiliang is willing to teach Lang Jun high moves." ”
Li Bai nodded and said solemnly, "Please advise." ”
He could see that the strength of this little giant was far stronger than Liu Wenchong, and the only weakness was that he was not agile enough, but if he went to the battlefield, such a giant man wearing heavy armor was really strong.
It's a pity that when it comes to fighting alone and with bare hands, the other party is really not necessarily Li Bai's opponent.
The fight fell into a stalemate from the beginning, Li Bai constantly looked for the opponent's weaknesses with his agile skills, and Zhang Qiliang relied on his strong physical fitness to defend steadily, rarely punching, but as soon as he punched, he went straight to the point.
Li Bai secretly praised the hidden wisdom under the other party's appearance, and he was able to find his own position from the beginning and adopt the most advantageous way of fighting - he punched the opponent, and the opponent was not painful, but Zhang Qiliang punched himself, and he immediately lost his combat effectiveness.
Just like in the game, ADC can certainly kite the warrior to death, but if the warrior finds an opportunity, it is easy to drop AD in a second.
The final result was that Li Bai narrowly won a move, punched the opponent in the abdomen, secretly lucked the true qi condensed in the foundation building stage, and finally ended the fight after injuring the opponent.
The brigade marshal looked ugly and said, "Why don't you hurry up and call your people over?"
"No need. Zhang Qiliang has the strength of ten enemies, you can defeat him, the strength is still some. Guo Qianjin looked at Li Baidao, "It's just that the technique of technical attack is not good at the battlefield, so you can do it yourself in the future." ”
"Xie Duhu, the kid has been taught. Li Bai nodded, the foundation building boxing method is obviously not good at the battlefield, and the difference between fighting alone and killing in the army is big.
"Actually, you're not the first person to ask to come and guard the Wall. Guo Qianjin said suddenly.
"Is there anyone else?" Li Bai frowned slightly, he was generally clear about the background story of the glory of kings, but many details were still half-understood, after all, there were dozens of heroes, and I was afraid that it would be a monkey year if I looked at them one by one.
"You'll see her. Guo Qianjin shook his head with a smile, and waved his hand, "You go down, the army will be in the middle of tomorrow, you remember to arrive on time, there are new prisoners in the army, you will take people tomorrow, and you will go to the Great Wall to take up your post." ”
"Power of Attorney...... Oh no, what about sue for me? And we don't have any equipment, so let me wear this to enlist in the army?"
"Your small team is still trying to say goodbye, what about you, I'll send someone to take you to find a place to live later, and I'll send you a pair of armor by the way. ”
Li Bai smiled a little awkwardly.
"You still have a chance to think about it, once you receive the military order, it will be my soldiers, if you escape from the battle-hehe. ”
Li Bai's heart was cold, and he nodded: "Yes." ”
