Chapter 123 [Dragon Bird Army Contest (I)]
Syllable! A cone-shaped armor-piercing spear stabbed the heart of the wooden man wearing the iron leaf leather armor, the iron leaf scattered, and the tip of the gun penetrated into the wood for five points, if it was a real person, this shot was enough to kill.
"Good! Eight in the middle! Eight in the middle! The onlookers on the school field cheered.
The armor-piercing gun retracted, and the pillar stood on his side, Shen Pingbo's face turned red, sweating profusely, and gasping for breath - no matter who braved the scorching sun and sprinted ten shots in a row from twenty steps away, it was difficult not to get tired. Fortunately, the results are good, and the ten shots are eight hits, all of which are effective parts such as the face, throat, heart, chest, and abdomen. In the skill assessment competition of the gun players of the broken camp, the first bronze medal of the superior sergeant, I got my wish. The word "right" on the top of his head is also expected to be removed.
Shen Pingbo was originally one of the guards of the Chinese army in Ma Fuji, and the combination of guns and cards was very good, and after being captured, he was screened and joined the camp. Because of his outstanding skills and calm temperament, he was quite popular among the recruits, so he was appointed as a general. The so-called "right team general" is the meaning of the temporary captain. If you want to get rid of the word "power" on your head, you have to see the whole army competition two months later, and you can get the bronze medal of the superior sergeant, so that you can be qualified to become a real team general.
Shen Pingbo didn't think about becoming a musketeer, after all, the one-sided massacre at Wanning Beach was too shocking. However, he practiced shooting for more than half a month, and felt that his shooting sense was not very good, and no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to obtain the bronze medal of the superior sergeant of the musketeer in the all-army competition two months later. My own strength lies in marksmanship, and it is not wise to choose from weaknesses. So Shen Pingbo gave up the musket, specialized in gun branding, and finally shined in the all-army competition two months later.
On the viewing stage, Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie and other generals nodded again and again, and the first bronze medal of the superior sergeant was finally produced. Zhao Lie thought even more, although this new annexed army ranked last in the battle sequence of the Yuan army, it did not mean that the combat effectiveness of the new annexed army was poor. You must know that there are not many truly pure Mongolian troops, but there are more than 100,000 of them, most of them are distributed in Gyeonggi and Beidi, and most of the people who have conquered the Southern Song Dynasty are still Han troops and new annexed armies. In other words, the combat power of the new annexed army is at least no worse than that of the Song army, and even surpasses it.
After two months of training, the Dragon Bird Army competition finally began. In the whole army, except for the two special forces of the Youth Team and the Thunder Team, which did not participate in the competition, the rest of the White Clothes Team, the Zhongshun Team, the old army of the Broken Battalion, the New Army and the Chijiao Battalion all participated.
In the old units of the Dragon Bird Army, more than eighty percent of the soldiers chose the musket skill reference core, and compared with the new army, they can be said to have taken advantage of it. Not only has he practiced for a long time, but he also has actual combat experience, and if this does not meet the standard of a medium sergeant, then there is really no need to mix in the musketeer's profession.
The soldiers of the new army mostly choose gun plates, and of course, there are many who choose muskets, about the ratio of six or four.
This is also very much in line with Zhao Lie's wishes, and his original plan was to be half of the musketeers and half of the gunsmiths. The musketeer is a spear, the spear is a shield, the spear is a strong shield, can attack and defend, and the party is a strong army. However, at the beginning of the training of the new army, many people chose muskets, not to mention veterans, and the nine CD was reluctant to give up muskets and learn spears, which made people worry that there were too many musketeers, too few guns, and too few soldiers, and the uneven distribution of arms.
Shi Yang once proposed a rigid division, the strong and strong make the gun brand, and the thin and agile learn the musket. However, Zhao Lie did not agree after careful consideration, no one knows better than him, firearms, if you want to play well, the most important thing is feeling, which has little to do with the strength of your body. If it is rigidly divided, I am afraid that I will miss some good seedlings, so it is better for the soldiers to choose.
Fortunately, after a period of training and elimination, many recruits were frustrated to find that it was not easy to use a musket to score a sergeant of the average or higher grades. Many people picked up the guns and cards again with interest, after all, these weapons are familiar with them and they are more sure.
Although the musket is good, not everyone can become a good marksman, and it is even more difficult to be a marksman. Two months is too short a time unless you are talented.
In addition to musketeers and gun soldiers, Zhao Lie also set up another class: sharp sentinels. Those who are bold, skillful, and agile are selected to form scouts for detecting the enemy. This class is quite dangerous and requires more personal skills. Zhao Lie's reward for the Sentinels is not only higher than that of ordinary troops, but also announced in the whole army that the Sentinels have the right of priority to join the special operations team - this is particularly attractive, who doesn't want to enter the Thunder team? That's not only the personal guard of the capital, but also the kind of magical serial gun, pop...... The firepower is continuous, and the gods and demons are also unstoppable, with one gun in hand, everyone is a hundred enemies!
Therefore, many sergeants who are confident in their skills have participated in the sentry assessment. It's just that the assessment of the sharp sentry is extremely difficult, not only to be able to make a bow and crossbow, good at knives and guns, fire guns, fine horsemanship, good swimming, and able to climb, but also to pass the political examination. The so-called political trial, in fact, is only one, to check whether you have a bitter hatred for Yuan Tartar.
The reason why this political trial was added was because Zhao Lie believed that the sharp sentry was highly dangerous, and once he went out on a mission, he was in danger of being captured by the Yuan army's sentry cavalry at any time. The best way to make them look at death as if they were at home and resolutely not leak secrets is to treat the enemy as an enemy. The hardest thing in this world is hatred, even beyond life and death. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a political trial.
To tell the truth, with the momentum of the Mongolian people harming the entire land of China, there are few places in the world that have not been harmed by the Yuan army. Those who can have a good impression of the Yuan people, I am afraid that in addition to the vested interests of the "Confucian households", ordinary people, everyone has a blood debt.
Due to the high difficulty of the various assessments, the competition was held for a whole day, and there were only ten people selected for the sentry, which was similar to the Thunder team. The vast majority of them are from the original White Clothes Team and the Zhongshun Team, and the new army has only produced two people, while the Chijiao Battalion has not yet had one...... Oh, there's a positive challenge.
"Fruit teeth! Fruit teeth! "The cry of the Li soldiers of the Chijiao battalion rang out in the mountains.
On the school ground, two soldiers wearing rattan armor and rattan hats, armed with bamboo knives and wooden guns, are coming and going, slashing and assassinating. These two people are Chang Tai, a veteran and team support officer from the Broken Camp, and Guoya from the Chijiao Battalion.
The selection of the sentry is not a simple wooden target, but a real challenge, and the winner wins.
Guoya made two bamboo knives, the knives broke the wind, swirled like a wheel, and the offensive was fierce. Chang Tai has a wooden gun in one hand and a rattan card in the other, calmly blocking, and stabbing with a gun from time to time. The sound of shouting on the school field, the sound of bamboo knives chopping cards and the sound of knives and guns colliding shocked the eardrums.
"Monk, who do you think will win?" Shi Yang asked Jueyuan, who was standing behind Zhao Lie.
At the same time, Zhao Lie also asked Jiang Fenglie beside him: "Shi Yi, who do you think will win?" ”
These two people are both masters, stared at them for a while, and said in unison: "Guoya (of course, our Guoya)." ”
There was a female voice in the voices of the two, and when they looked sideways, it was Hong Siniang, the leader of the Chijiao Camp with a proud face.
As soon as the three of them finished speaking, there was a break on the school field, and they saw Chang Tai use the card grid to open a double knife, and pierce the oblique ribs with a shot, and actually broke the rope of the fruit tooth vine armor. Each side of the rattan armor is tied with four ropes, and if one is broken, the rattan armor will no longer be tight, and it will inevitably loosen, which will not only affect the fighting, but also be more likely to be injured by the opponent's wooden spear from the intercostal space.
Sure enough, Guoya slashed several times, but the accuracy was affected by the slackening of the rattan armor, and all of them were easily blocked by Chang Tai, and he stabbed several times, and the gun did not leave the opponent's right rib.
Shi Yang smiled, it was rare that he didn't regurgitate Jueyuan, and only glanced at Hong Siniang.
Hong Siniang was silent, only staring intently, but the sturdy black man named Hong Lao Wu next to her stared at the bull's eye and looked at Shi Yang fiercely.
How could Shi Yang be afraid of him, raised his hand and pointed, and was about to go crazy.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar on the field, and Guoya kicked on the rattan card, kicking Chang Tai seven or eight steps away. The two knives were inserted into the ground, one hand even ripped off the rattan hat with the mask, the other hand tore off the rattan armor rope, and finally the double back was divided, and the armor fell to the ground.
I saw this Li warrior in his early twenties, with a naked upper body, dark skin, and iron-like muscles and bones, with his backhand, rushing forward, bringing up pieces of smoke and dust on the soles of his feet, jumping high in the roar, holding the wooden spear stabbed by the opponent with his open arms, and holding the knife with one hand and inserting it violently.
There was a loud bang, the bamboo knife and the rattan card were split in half at the same time, Chang Tai fell backwards, rolled three or four times before stopping, and then raised his head, the knife and gun were necked.
"You...... Call...... Call...... You lose. Guoya gasped, beads of sweat rolling, grinning, revealing white teeth that contrasted with his dark skin.
"Fruit teeth! Fruit teeth! "The cheers of the Li soldiers are deafening, this is the first sentry of their Li people, how can they not be proud?
