In the early morning of November 25th, the clouds were thick and the sky was gloomy (read the full text of the beasts in pairs (the last orcs)). The north wind was also blowing extremely fiercely and bitterly. The few trees outside the A-shaped training ground were blown by the strong wind, and one by one, like whips, was drawn to the sky, making a sharp whistling sound.

It's not a good day. However, it was nothing to the city guard sergeants who were accustomed to training in the bitter cold and heat. Song Zheng heard Xin Qiji say that since the competition for the martial champion order was arranged in winter, three times it was to catch up with heavy snowfall. If you fight in the snow, not only will the physical exertion be serious, but the casualties will also be much worse.

Song Zheng held the unbladed just now and stood solemnly in front of the team. Ding Long, Cai Yong and other fifty sergeants of the ninth squad were divided into two teams, and they also stood like javelins, letting the wind blow and cut their faces. Everyone's eyes were on the same goal.

At this time, in the center of the A-word training ground, there is a mountain-shaped wooden frame with a height of four feet, the top seat is square, and in the wooden crack at the top, there is a red token with a ruler length, and three seal characters are written on each side: Promotion Order.

Outside the hundred-zhang on the east, west, and north sides of the wooden frame, they were Xu Xuecheng's sixth squad, Gu Jinzhong's second squad, and Song Zheng's ninth squad. The colors of the clothes are blue, white, and black. And outside the hundred zhang on the south side of the wooden frame, a striking white line is drawn. The white line is no more than two zhang long, and a wooden stake one zhang high and half a foot thick is buried at each end, forming a door-like shape with the white line. This gate is called the Gate of Victory. However, the martial artists of Daqi all call it the Happiness Gate.

A zhang behind the white line, there is a table, behind the table, Feng Zhanbao, the general of the city guard, sitting on a chair, and dozens of sergeants standing beside him (the latest chapter of the reborn Qing princess). At the table, a general stood respectfully, his body still bent slightly.

This morning, there was a fight at the A-shaped training ground and the B-shaped training ground, which were Song Zheng's Group A and Han Kui's Group B. Cao Huanzhang and Zeng Ping's groups C and D will not be decided until the afternoon.

Song Zheng was located directly north of the wooden frame, and was far away from Feng Zhanbao across the wooden frame. However, he couldn't see Feng Zhanbao's face, so he could only look at his opponent in the east and west.

Xu Xuecheng's face was full of coldness, and his hooked nose stood out in a resolute arc, adding a bit of coldness. Behind him, he carried two large iron hammers, shining in the gloomy weather. He clenched his fists and looked into the wooden frame with a little fanaticism in his eyes. As if sensing Song Zheng's gaze, Xu Xuecheng glared at him fiercely.

The corners of Song Zheng's mouth curled, as for it? As if he owes you two hundred taels of silver. Song Zheng put his gaze to the west side again, Gu Jinzhong's face was also full of solemnity, and his small eyes kept turning. As he observed the wooden frame, he reached out and measured something, as if estimating the height of the wooden frame.

Song Zheng retracted his gaze and closed his eyes, but the secret spectrum of Chunyang was running wildly, and a warmth quickly swam in his body, driving away the chill brought by the cold north wind.

After all, this was not a real killing battle, and the soldiers of the city guards were not wearing armor, but wearing a thin cotton coat inside and a battle robe on the outside. And Song Zheng only wore some jackets inside, which made him look thinner. Thanks to the help of Chunyang Spectrum, he didn't feel cold.

The structure of the wooden frame is very simple, with a huge wooden tree more than four feet high standing in the middle, which is staggered with a five-inch square of wood on all sides, and tied with a tough special cowhide rope. The cowhide rope is made of cowhide bands, soaked in sesame oil for a long time, and the rope twisted by several cowhide bands is extremely strong, even if it is cut with a sharp blade, it is not easy to break.

This kind of wooden frame is not difficult to climb, but the difficulty lies in how the person who obtains the token gets off the wooden frame and how to break through the opponent's encirclement! Speaking of which, although Song Zheng, Xu Xuecheng and Gu Jinzhong are also a hundred feet away from the wooden frame, Xu and Gu want to take advantage of a little advantage, they can directly send someone to block in front of the victory gate (read the full text of the magician's travels). From them to the Victory Gate, it is only a little more than 140 zhang, and from Song Zheng to the Victory Gate, it takes a full 200 zhang.

Speaking of which, this is a little unfair, but Song Zheng is the first name, so he naturally has to suffer a small loss. In the case of three teams, it is not certain who will suffer. The three teams, once they start, the situation is more complicated. There are two places where the battle is fiercest, one is under the wooden frame, and the first thing is to ensure that you can grab the token. The second is to win the door, and that is to send the token into the door smoothly.

The battle under the wooden frame must be to snatch the token, and after grabbing the token, it must be worry-free? Naturally not. Even if one side picks up the token, they must quickly organize their own team and cut through the opponent's defense. Since the combat strength of the city guards of each squad is about the same, it is really difficult for one side to cut through the defenses of the other two in the case of three teams.

It is a well-known fact that under the condition of equal combat strength and numbers, the attackers always lose more manpower. And with one dozen two, it is almost impossible. I don't know what the situation will be when the four teams in the original martial arts competition are scuffling.

If a team gets into a one-on-two situation, the smartest thing to do is to throw the token to the other team, and then join forces with the other team to grab the token again. But the token is used for promotion, and without the token, you cannot enter the next round. Few people are willing to give up what they have snatched their hands, and this is the time to test the wisdom of the Lord. Sometimes, it's not necessarily a happy thing to have a token in your own hands.

If you don't move first, can you sit back and watch the other two teams fight? That certainly won't work, once there are only two teams competing, the situation is clearer, and it will be easier for the token winner to pass through the victory gate. Even if they are mixed together, it will take some time for the previously seated spectators to rush into the battle again. Because there is no absolute superiority in troops, once it is trapped, it gives others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

All in all, the scheduling of a commander, the arrangement of troops, and the trade-offs are the keys to victory.

Around the training ground, there were standing high-ranking officials and eunuchs and young ladies in thick clothes. Since chariots and horses were not allowed to enter the martial arts courtyard, these people had nothing else except their families. There are no chairs, and there is no hot soup, however, the martial arts competition is a rare thing in Jiangning once in two years, and blatant group fights are rare (read the full text of the land god). And for these people who have never been on the battlefield, the martial arts competition is the most anticipated thing.

It was a bit cold, and these people had to wrap their clothes tightly and stand there shivering.

Song Zheng heard that every year in the competition, those scholars will publish a book of poems to record the specific competition scenes, followed by the introduction of each martial artist, as well as their achievements. The largest bookstore in Jiangning, Rushan Publishing House, is responsible for printing, and its sales are not bad. Those who did not enter the arena with red posts can also imagine the scene of the competition through this collection of poems.

The martial arts written in a literary way are naturally far from the straightforward scenes. "Rivers of blood", "bloody pestles" and even "miserable" and the like came out.

Song Zheng had heard Xu Mingxuan say these things, and he couldn't help but laugh. It also gave him an idea to make money. He asked Xu Mingxuan to find two people who were good at storytelling, and brought them into the arena to watch the competition, and then they created and wrote a script. Paid by someone with slight modifications. The words processed in this way must be more popular than those so-called poetry collections.

Actually, Song Zheng just proposed, but he didn't expect Xu Mingxuan to take it seriously. Just now, Song Zheng saw Xu Mingxuan and others in the crowd of onlookers. In addition to Ah Rong, Xu Mingxuan also brought two fifty or sixty-year-old people, who thought they were storybook artists.

Publish a few volumes of martial arts books, these are all small ways, even if you make some silver, it will not exceed three thousand taels. The biggest business is in gambling. When drinking that day, Song Zheng asked Xu Mingxuan, Zhu Youzhan and Li Denian to set up a gambling game on the periphery, and as soon as the list of twelve martial artists came out, he opened a gambling game on the periphery. Gambling on the attribution of the martial arts champion order, betting on whether someone can get the promotion order. With a relationship of three people, this is not a difficult task. And the identities of the three people are there, and they are still very appealing in the Jiangning circle.

As for the materials of these twelve martial artists, it is too easy to say. The other thirty-two martial artists, as well as those martial artists, have all moved out of the martial academy. Divided into several inns. These martial artists from all walks of life are proud of their own way out of the martial arts. The identity information of these twelve people, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it ((comprehensive) Huashen read the full text). Moreover, this material is very detailed, including family origin, height and physical appearance, weapons used, etc., which is almost more detailed than the official information. These martial arts moves, bet the most. Who doesn't want their own path of martial artists to advance? Who doesn't want the martial artists of their own way to get the martial champion order?

Song Zheng naturally didn't know that the gamble set up by Xu Mingxuan and the others had set off a great craze in Jiangning City. Xu Mingxuan's economic acumen is not ordinary, he and Zhu and Li worked together to contact their friends and flickered into a big circle. The most important thing is that he found the largest casino in Jiangning City, Hongyun Casino, and jointly co-operated with tickets. And attract a group of friends and friends and relatives of friends to this casino. With the operation and hosting of the Hongyun Gambling House, this game quickly became the largest game in Jiangning, comparing other large and small gambling games. The amount of bets in each game exceeded one million taels of silver.

If Song Zheng knew the news, he would definitely ask Ming'er to bet all the money she had, along with Song Jue's Yulu. It's a pity that these days he can only be stuffed in the martial arts courtyard, and he can't even go out.

Xu Mingxuan, Zhu and Li are Song Zheng's irons, and they all bet on Song Zheng. Xu Mingxuan had great confidence in Song Zheng and scraped together a total of 30,000 taels of silver. However, Song Zheng's Wujinshi odds are not the lowest. It's only one to six, which is considered average. Because although he is the first name of the martial arts, Xu Mingxuan has emphasized that he is outstanding in writing and has read military books. As for martial arts, it is simply said that Song Zheng uses a knife and has good fists and feet. This is naturally not as good as those who are famous or tall.

The lowest odds are Han Kui, 1-1-5. This is of course due to the fact that Han Kui is a native of Jiangning, and more importantly, many high-level officials know that Han Kui is the descendant of the handsome Han Zhong. Han Zhong's generation of military gods, his descendants, can they be sent anywhere?

Song Zheng ran the Chunyang secret spectrum for a period of time, and he was full of Tai. At that moment, the general moved his legs, immediately came under the wooden frame, and shouted, "Start preparing!" After tea, look at my signal. As soon as the signal sounds, the competition begins! ”

Because the wind was too strong, he shouted at Song Zheng, Xu Xuecheng, and Gu Jinzhong in the three directions of the wooden frame. Then he ran back to the table and pulled out a firework called "Soaring Noise" from under the table.
