Chapter 229: Stabilizing People's Hearts (5)
"Thieves dare!"
With a thunderous shout, a black spear slashed through the air at a rapid speed. This shot came so quickly, that is, Kebineng and Fu Luohan, who had been paying attention to this side in the restaurant next to them, did not see how to make the shot, only to see a black shadow pass over everyone's heads, and inadvertently arrived in front of Sha Hanlin.
Fu Luo Han was shocked, if this shot without warning assassinated Sha Hanlin on the spot, I am afraid that everyone will rebel together.
That Shahanlin martial arts are also extraordinary, seeing the spear stabbing at him, he hurriedly retreated, and finally avoided this killer shot. But in this way, the downward swing of the mace had to be raised to block. Everyone exclaimed, although Fu Luohan blocked the spear and avoided the danger of being pierced by the spear, the mace in his hand could no longer hold it, and he was shocked by the spear and walked away.
Sha Hanlin was shocked in his heart, he was proud of his brute strength since he was a child, even in the tribe of Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian, he couldn't find a master who could overwhelm him in strength. With this shot, the man borrowed the inertia of throwing, and he changed his tricks in a panic, so he suffered such a dark loss.
However, the black spear was made of iron and iron in a much heavier way, and the strength of the spear thrower was beyond human imagination. And Sha Hanlin was largely because of this secret loss, and when he was caught off guard, Fang shook the mace in his hand, which was known for its thick and heavy, and flew out.
At this moment, everyone in the field was suddenly stopped, and the entire north gate of the city was silent for a moment. Sha Hanlin's bravery is well-known among the Xianbei people, and the warriors who are listed in front of Xianbei Dadan, where is it to talk and play? But this brave and extremely brave Sha Hanlin, just one round of fighting, was shocked by someone to fly out of the weapon, how can this not be surprising and frightening?
A deep fear swelled up in Sha Hanlin's heart, and the powerlessness of not being able to control the situation made him feel a little vain in his steps. However, the situation was pressing, he still mustered up Yu Yong, stood still, and yelled: "That hairy boy who has not dried up, who are you, dare to be presumptuous here!" ”
When he saw that Guo Bin, who threw out the Xuanlong Spear, was actually a young man less than twenty years old, with a white face and a handsome appearance, he immediately settled down. If this throwing power came from the hands of the two tower-like men behind him, it would naturally attract his enough attention, but it came from the hands of Guo Bin, a son who is outside the golden jade, but it makes people feel that the reason why it can have this effect is probably a coincidence.
Guo Bin didn't pay attention to Sha Hanlin's clamour, but his mouth was full of spring thunder, and he shouted: "Where is the guard camp!" ”
Everyone was amazed, but they saw that about 700 Han soldiers who were originally guarding the north gate shouted in unison: "The guard camp is here!" ”
"Bow down!"
When he arrived, the seven hundred guards put the special longbow behind their backs, and their movements were uniform, looking at the eyes of the Xianbei people present, they were all shocked and inexplicable. Even Zhang Shiping, who was standing on the city wall, was also dumbfounded.
He has been serving Guo Bin for more than a year, and because he controls the three cities outside the Saiwai, his status is also extremely high. It's just that he sees the troops sent from Yang Zhai on weekdays, although his spirit is superior to others, and his discipline is also impressive, but he is not lacking a killing aura. I've seen it for a long time, but there's nothing out of the ordinary.
Later, Guo Bin entered the city, and these troops who had followed Guo Bin in the southern and northern wars were only more calm and less restrained than what they had seen before. And to this day, when he saw that these 700 originally calm and calm troops changed their usual indulgence and casualness after receiving the combat mission, they were surprised one by one with concentration and concentration.
When they patiently and attentively checked their equipment before entering the field, they were calm and calm, but they couldn't pretend to be in any way. Compared to the tribulations that have never really been on the battlefield, watching their nervous and slightly clumsy movements, the gap between the two is truly apparent.
These 700 parts, although the number is small, but they are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles!
Kebineng and Fu Luohan, who were in the restaurant on the side, stood up in shock when they saw the coordinated movements of the 700 parts. They have led troops all year round, so they naturally know what a real elite division is. The so-called elite soldiers do not mean how strong the soldier's ability to fight alone is, but how strong the ability to work together is strong.
In the fight on the battlefield, except for the king's heads-up against the king, the rest does not require much personal heroism, especially in the fight of ordinary soldiers, as long as you are not afraid to fight, you are a good soldier who dares to fight. If you can cooperate with your comrades to a certain extent, it is elite. And like the 700 parts of today, the actions are uniform, and the orders are forbidden, which is simply the treasure of one's own officers and the nightmare of enemy generals.
Because no matter which dynasty or tribe, it is impossible to spend too much thought on ordinary soldiers.
There is a saying in the Central Plains: "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." ”
In this era, soldiers are only used as consumables, and few people will care too much about the life and death of these "cannon fodder". However, this does not mean that the imperial court at this time did not understand the importance of elite soldiers. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the importance and powerful destructive power of elite soldiers have been repeatedly mentioned by countless military masters, and valuable practices have been made.
For example, the sharp soldiers of the Qin State, the warriors of the Wei State, the technical combat knights of the Qi State, and the Hudao knights of the Zhao State were all elite divisions that were famous all over the world at that time, and their combat ability was beyond reproach. Wei Wushu fought a total of seventy-two battles, of which sixty-four were victorious, and the rest were solved (regardless of victory or defeat), as for the Qin State Ruishi, its elite degree was even better than that of Wei Wushu.
However, everyone understands the truth, but it is even more difficult to do it. The reason is in just two words: "cost".
First of all, the cost of selecting soldiers is too high, and only one level of "physique" can brush off the vast majority of people. When Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu, he held a spear in his hand, carried 20 long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow, and carried three days of military food at the same time, with a total weight of about 50 catties. When Sima Cuo selected the Ruishi of the Qin State, he added a full suit of armor, a broad-bodied short sword, a fine iron dagger and a cowhide shield, with a total weight of about 80 catties, and only those who passed were eligible to enter the following selection.
Such strict selection criteria, in the era of peace in the world, almost unthinkable. It is not that the physical fitness of the people in the era of peace in the world was poor, but that the imperial court did not have the need to maintain such an army, and the common people did not have the enthusiasm to join the army. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the people who can achieve the above physical qualities are people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, most of them are martial arts giants, and they want to become generals.
In addition, the cost of maintenance of such troops is simply too high. The Qin State implemented a strategy of ploughing and warfare, and if there was beheading, he could be knighted for merit, and Wei Wushu dragged down the finances of the Wei State alive. It is hard to imagine that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when people could not eat enough, and famine and lack of military food were generally "prevalent" in the world, who would go to great lengths to improve the food and improve their physical fitness for ordinary soldiers in this era when they could easily pull up a group of displaced people to conquer the city.
Looking at this well-disciplined force, Kebineng muttered, "With such a strong force, this battle is by no means hopeless. ”
Fu Luo Han nodded in agreement and said, "It's just that Zhang Shiping has such an elite team under his hands, could it be that he was showing weakness in the past?" ”
Kebineng snorted and said, "In the grassland where the strong are respected, there is never a need to show weakness to others, because the weak will only cause endless trouble. What's more, the three cities outside the Saiwai are like a huge cornucopia, and when transferring the world's materials, they are also coveted from the shadows. is just for the sake of urban safety, Zhang Shiping has no reason to hide the existence of such a strong team, so there is only one possibility. ”
Fu Luo Han hurriedly said: "What is possible? ”
"This unit is not permanently stationed in the city, but has just arrived recently." Kebi Nengdao.
Fu Luohan nodded and said, "It makes sense, but who can have the financial resources and the ability to command such a strong team?" ”
Kebineng said in a deep voice: "Guo Bin, who has heard about Fulong Villa for a long time, is not a weak crown at a young age, and his appearance is dignified, I didn't expect to be able to see it today." ”
Fu Luo Han exclaimed, "What? Are you saying that the commander of this strong team is Guo Bin? But..."Then he exclaimed, "Could it be that this young man is Guo Bin?" ”
Kebineng nodded and said, "I really can't think of a better answer than that." It seems that there will be a good show to watch next. ”
At this time, Guo Bin naturally didn't know what Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng were thinking, he was now standing with Guan Zhang and the others on the street in front of the north gate, this street was also the widest street in the entire Central City, and on the opposite side was the seven hundred steps that put away their bows and arrows and waited for the next order.
"Qingdao!" Guo Bin continued to shout.
Listening to the sound of "swish", the seven hundred parts drew their swords in unison, and the ring-headed knives made of stainless steel shone in the sunlight, whether it was a thousand people under Sha Hanlin or the Xianbei chiefs and their subordinates who were watching behind, they were all full of confusion and fear.
I only heard Guo Bin say aloud in the official dialect of the Central Plains: "Zhang Shiping has affirmed several times that no swords and soldiers are allowed to be used in the city, otherwise the crime will be the same as collaborating with the enemy, and he will definitely be severely punished." This Sha Hanlin actually ignored it, openly led the crowd to storm the city gate, and wanted to murder the soldiers of our Han army, his crime is really appalling! ”
"I was favored by the Son of Heaven, and I was appointed as the county guard of Yingchuan, and I was named the Marquis of Yangzhai County, and was punished by Shang Fang to cut the horse sword, punish the villain, and punish the adulterer. The so-called whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. In addition to the Great Wall, it is also incumbent on you to sweep away the traitors! ”
"I have decreed that whoever dares to touch a single hair of the Han soldiers, I will punish his tribe and think that he will be buried with him. If I hadn't acted today, this soldier would have been buried in the hands of Shahanlin, and today I will do the right thing for heaven and punish all the thieves! ”
"The pro-guard battalion listens to the order!" Guo Bin shouted.
"No!" The pro-guard battalion responded in unison.
"Below Sha Hanlin, all of them will be killed, and no one will be spared! If anyone else dares to resist, they will be killed together! ”
"Order!"
