Section 72, 2
People often have amazing potential in crisis.
This adjutant is like that.
He endured a huge pain in his chest, and fled with all his strength, the speed was terrifying, even he couldn't believe that he could be injured so quickly, but how fast was he than a galloping war horse.
He was too close to Suyi, he didn't run away in the end, he was caught up in a few blink of an eye, and then he turned his back to the enemy, and his strength was all on the run, and he was so frightened that he heard the war horse behind him, and he had the heart to resist but he didn't have time to turn around before he was pierced through the back of the heart by a swift halberd, and it was over, so that he saved the pain of enduring the rupture of the sternum and the worry of mission failure.
The main and deputy officers who led the team were all dead, and according to the urine nature of the Jing army of the Song Dynasty, this patrol army would immediately collapse regardless of the image and flee separately, regardless of what duty or not, and whether the task was not a task. There is something to do, there is guilt, and after settling the account, General Cao can't put the blame on their little soldiers. The sin is only in the death of the two leading officers.
However, this army unexpectedly did not collapse and fled, to be precise, not all of them collapsed and fled.
It was the original forbidden army that fled in horror, and most of those who did not flee were the new forbidden army.
The Song Dynasty's current 400,000 forbidden troops were made up of pirates who refused to ask for them, but the Song Dynasty could be regarded as the most reliable armed force - more than 200,000 veterans and ruffians of the original forbidden army, plus more than 100,000 elite members of the Beijing gangsters who raided and suppressed.
This forbidden army is much more difficult to control than the original forbidden army composed of selected good people. But there are also incomparable advantages of the original forbidden army.
The good people are obedient, honest, good leaders and good lessons, but the whole is a boring military life with a hooded army, what the leader arranges to do, he will do it obediently, and there will be no resistance and refutation, even if he is unwilling to do it in his heart, he will never and dare not confide it, but if there is no hope of promotion, there is absolutely no enthusiasm and initiative, and everything is foolish, and it is necessary to deal with the past tolerance. How could such a soldier have the will, courage and combat effectiveness to fight for his life and kill the enemy on the iron-blooded battlefield.
As for those old army ruffians, it is even more unbearable, needless to say.
It's purely advantageous, and if there's something to do, it's like they're all fine, it's extremely slippery, being a bully in the army, or harming the people in the name of official business, it's very brave and capable, don't expect anything in other serious aspects, just proficient in mixed military brigades, but in the eyes of the officials, they are loyal and brave, fierce and powerful, not useless.
In this way, the forbidden army is not prepared to fight a bloody battle to destroy the enemy and win victory, it is not to perform the sacred duty of defending the country with blood and life, and to defend the honor of soldiers to the death, but to look at the limelight, as long as there is something wrong and there is an opportunity, it will decisively turn around and flee at any time, how can it listen to the generals' shouts and flickering to take risks and fight.
It's not good to fight, and running away is definitely better than a rabbit who was shot, and it's extremely brave and ruthless.
In times of crisis, if anyone dares to stop or prevent them from escaping without self-esteem or authority, they will brazenly wield a ruthless steel sword.
Well, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi commanded the Hubu Dagang Battle and was defeated by the Jin army, and the performance of the Liao army was the same.
In that battle, the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops killed and wounded and many large and small generals were not killed by the Jin army, but fell under the swords of their own people who were scrambling to flee.
The soldiers of the forbidden army formed by the elite of the underworld who are forcibly organized, due to their experience and temperament, generally have a gambler mentality, they have been used to ganging up to do evil and fighting, they are also bold, vicious and impulsive, and they see the opportunity, as long as they see that the benefits they can obtain are big enough, they dare to let go and take risks.
This is the most basic characteristic of a criminal gang.
That is to say, the serious forbidden army has no extravagant expectations for life and future, does not have any hopes, knows that he is a strong ordinary person, has no ability to play a head, has no good father and good relatives, has no backer and no way out, simply doesn't want to do anything, is desperate to mix, can sit and never stand, can lie down and never sit, comfortable for a while is a while, be a monk for a day, hit the clock for a day, and mix a day is a day, while the members of the underworld forbidden army have desires, and the desire urges relative enthusiasm, courage and corresponding combat effectiveness.
This is exactly what these forbidden armies that did not immediately flee in front of them.
They saw the huge benefits that could be obtained by avenging Cao Yanei and other noble sons, and they felt that there were many people, but the opponent was only five people, and the famous Zhao Yue and Zhao Lao Er were only a nose and two eyes, and they did not have three heads and six arms, and they had a sharp spear in their hands.
Twenty or thirty ruffians with sticks and sharp knives couldn't deal with Zhao Yue's five people, but they were all killed, but it doesn't mean that we can't have guns and are good at group fighting.
This is the mentality of these forbidden troops who do not flee but bravely shout for the siege.
At the front, Su Yi, who was just at the front, sighed, and was not shocked.
If you all scatter and flee, it will not be easy for you to chase after you. Don't run away? Have the courage to fight back? Hey, that's great. Give you a thumbs up.
The halberd slammed into the fastest spear, and the tip of the halberd hit the man's chest, and in the blink of an eye, he died in the blink of an eye.
What followed does not need to be described in detail.
The wooden spears of officers and soldiers could not resist the sharp halberds. Although these former underworld members are the backbone of the original gang, they have the determination and confidence to kill Zhao Yue and the five people with guns, but this does not mean that they really have the strength and opportunity. Their self-confident combat effectiveness could not stop the first-class courage and madness of the righteousness, and they were defeated by the dragon and tiger two guards and Su Liang, who pounced on them to help in the battle......
The forbidden army finally broke and fled.
The run was late, and several murderers who were pulling behind were also ruthlessly slaughtered by fast horses. Zhao Yue didn't have a chance to make a move in person.
When it was over, Zhao Yue's four friends wiped the blood stains on their weapons on the corpse, and then ...... casually under the horrified gaze of various spies Continue to Beijing.
Zhao Lao Er broke into such a catastrophe, and he didn't take advantage of the fact that the relevant departments in the capital didn't have time to react and quickly escaped from the capital, and dared to stay in the capital?
The onlookers who hid in the distance were stunned. And those spies hurriedly divided their personnel and flew to report to the masters or forces behind them.
Zhao Yue gradually went deeper into the capital, and when he was about to leave Beicheng District, he was greeted by a wide and luxurious carriage.
Next to the car and behind the car were a group of fierce family members.
The man who drove the car was lean, but his momentum was even more awesome and wild, and he dared to dominate the middle of the street in the core area of the capital, where there were many powerful dogs.
Defiant.
All this clearly shows that the owner of this car is not simple, or the identity of the person who is riding this car at this time is not simple.
This group of people is awesome or not, Zhao Yue doesn't care.
In the feudal privileged society of the dictatorship of the king, especially in a place like the capital, it is normal for there to be more powerful lords. As long as it has nothing to do with you, you should ignore it.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Yue didn't want to waste time and energy on this group. But this group of people took the initiative to find out about him.
This main street of the northern city is so wide that even such a huge carriage on the opposite side is more than enough for three cars to travel side by side.
Zhao Yue and his entourage still moved forward in the same irregular way as before, and they also walked on the road closer to the middle, but they did not prevent the opposite carriage from passing through the center.
But when the coachman saw them, he turned his car and spurred his horse straight at them.
This is undoubtedly a matter of purpose.
Su Yi, who opened the way in front, had a fierce look in his eyes, and the halberd in his hand was already pointing at the horseman.
Later, Zhao Yue did not ride his horse to avoid it, but stationed his horse on the spot and stared coldly at this awesome car.
They showed that they would not give way, and the carriage did not stop at all, and the coachman laughed arrogantly at Zhao Yue's side, and whipped up and slammed into it.
It's a pity that the coachman and the people who follow the car are arrogant, but the car is not powerful.
Since the Cangzhao family introduced cement, proved the effect and dedicated the process to the imperial court free of charge, this kind of infrastructure weapon has quickly spread in the Eastern world. The Liao State and the Western Xia Kingdom were the earliest beneficiaries, just like the corn and potatoes that Zhao Yue's family had originally introduced, and their own profiteers and bureaucratic traitors actively sold them to foreign enemies. Subsequently, the Peninsula Bang Country, Annam, etc., also easily acquired this technology...... Although there are differences in the technology of producing cement between the parties, they can also make cement.
As a technology created by the people and a large agricultural country based on defense, the Song Dynasty naturally had the most extensive application of cement, the highest technology, and the greatest benefit. For example, the main streets of the capital are now all paved with cement, which is solid and flat...... No, except for a limited number of stone-paved important sections, the city is muddy and unruly on rainy and snowy days.
The wide main road in the north city is made of concrete, which is very suitable for horse-drawn carriages.
But the carriage that deliberately collided with Zhao Yue still couldn't get up fast when the coachman deliberately raised his whip to speed up and wanted to slam into it.
This car, looking at the workmanship, is definitely luxurious enough, but helplessly, it is too big and too bulky.
Such a huge and heavy sedan car, or should be called a sedan car, under normal circumstances should be four or more horses, at least two horses. But at this time it was only one. And it's a mule, not a horse.
With Zhao Yue and his entourage's familiarity with horses, they could tell at a glance whether the beast pulling the cart was a horse or a mule.
Mules are usually more powerful than horses, and pulling carts and plowing the land are usually more advantageous than horses, but mules are usually not good at running, especially in farming countries.
Although this giant car is the kind of four-wheeled vehicle first launched by Cangzhao, the livestock that does not need to pull the cart set up the car to drive, and there is less of a major burden on the livestock, but only a mule pulls such a huge and heavy car, and it is estimated that the weight of the people or something in the car is also very large, the car is getting heavier and heavier, and at this time, it is driving from south to north against the strong cold wind in winter, even if this road is a very flat and easy cement road, it can't get up fast.
The most ridiculous thing is that the giant car, which couldn't get up at high speed, rushed to the front and actually stopped.
The reason is that the driver is arrogant and fearless, but this mule is not fearless.
Animals are usually much more sensitive to danger than humans.
The mule was pointed at by Su Yi's glittering halberd, apparently sensing the danger of rushing forward. It was unwilling to risk its death, and it was extremely tiring to pull such a heavy car alone, so it simply stopped, dead or alive, and was forced to hum by the violent aura of the war horse and the ferocious aura of Su Yi's halberd and turned to avoid it.
As soon as this joke came out, Zhao Yue and his friends couldn't help but snort and burst out laughing.
The coachman and the thugs who followed the car naturally had all black faces, and their insolent smirks froze on their faces, and their expressions were strange and ugly.
The burst of laughter from Zhao Yue and the nearby audience who watched the play undoubtedly strongly stimulated the group.
The coachman was so angry that he jumped up angrily, stood on the wheel and yelled at Zhao Yue: "Zhao Yue'er, you are so bold that you dare to block the car of His Royal Highness King Fu on the street." Are there any kings in the eyes of you, a pariah who doesn't understand the humility of the upper and lower? ”
The family members who followed the car pointed at Zhao Yue and shouted and scolded.
"Does the little beast understand the rules of the capital?"
"Why don't the little beasts immediately roll off their horses and honestly bow down to the side of the road and kowtow to our princes to confess their sins and beg for mercy?"
"Haha...... Little brute, if you confess your sins with a good attitude, our prince is known for his kindness and generosity, and if he is happy, he may forgive you generously. ”
.......
Sure enough, it was deliberately blocked to find trouble.
The clamor of the coachman and the family was not only understood by Zhao Yue and his entourage, but even the simple melon-eating audience also understood the cause of this conflict.
The audience was in high spirits.
Even the spies who followed them all the way couldn't help but lift their spirits.
It's fun to see.
Look at the fight between the little overlord of the Cangzhao family, who is now in the limelight, and the Fu Wang, who is very proud of the most noble Song royal family, who is the real awesome.
The audience had already recognized the familiar and most terrifying carriage in the north of the city, and knew that it was the lack of virtue and blessing......
Blessed King, the famous Blessed King!
The richest man in Beicheng, and the biggest and most powerful bully in Beicheng.
The inhabitants of the north of the city, old and new, know this blessed king too well.
His person is a close branch of today's family, he is not short in size, and his body is not small, at least 300 pounds, he is a fat man, and he needs a powerful little guy to stand up and walk, but he is obsessed with fat and clumsy, but his brain is not stupid, and he is greedy and cunning by nature, perhaps it is because of his extraordinary greed that his brain is active and extremely cunning.
Needless to say, this prince's arrogant, murderous, greedy and flamboyant deeds are notorious, which is very different from the low-key and introverted benevolent survival mode that the children of the Song royal clan pay attention to on the surface, especially at the foot of the emperor in the capital, not in the far place of the emperor of the mountain, this is very abnormal, and it should not have a good life.
In any case, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were very respectful and paid great attention to their image among the people, and did not allow the children of the royal family to be arrogant among the people by virtue of their background.
But this blessed king is really special.
He was able to live in such a high-profile manner, and his life was smooth sailing.
This depends on his obsessive and loyal appearance, and he is cunning and abnormal, good at disguise, good at finding the heart of Emperor Zhao Ji, and always able to cater to the preferences of quasi-Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji is very trusting of this brother who is always honest, benevolent and honest, and even a little heartless and silly smile, and is very satisfied with the loyalty and filial piety of King Fu to him as the emperor, and there is no lack of knowledge and interest, and he can always actively meet his wishes. ”
Zhao Ji is a ridiculous master, and it is not uncommon to treat a child of the clan who is extremely cunning, greedy and ferocious by nature as a giant panda.
Zhao Ji became the emperor, and his extraordinary intelligence and talent were useless in governing the country and knowing people and appointing talents.
His debauchery, great joy, and vanity are the best faces...... The characteristics make him destined not to hear the true reaction of people like King Fu.
What he hears and sees is what he wants to hear and see, and what he wants to hear.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the relatives of the emperor are all aware of Zhao Ji's distinctive personality, and they are all coaxing and even deceiving Zhao Ji to play with a tacit understanding.
The Venerable Imperial Family Blessing King suddenly came out, which was a major test for Zhao Yue.
From the imperial court to the people, there are countless people who are staring at this conflict, wanting to find out what is the purpose of this precious descendant of Cangzhao Tomb suddenly coming to the capital, and whether the Cangzhao family, who is more concerned, wants to rebel brazenly......
