277 steps of human armor
It is precisely because of the special system of Shandong people that they are very easy to be controlled, so the rulers of successive dynasties attach special importance to the Shandong region, and there are always a large number of Shandong soldiers in the garrison. Among them, Cao Cao in the official history is the home of the Qingzhou soldiers.
When the Ming Dynasty changed Jingnan, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops in Beiping to launch a rebellion, and went south to Nanjing to attack his nephew Ming Huizong Zhu Yunwen. At that time, Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shandong and the secretary of the military department, swore to defend the imperial power to the death, led the people of Shandong to garrison Jinan, and was determined to hold on to it for more than three months under the condition that Zhu Di was surrounded by Zhu Di on all sides and lacked food and clothing. In the end, Tie Xuan defeated Zhu Di by deception.
Zhu Di returned to Beijing in deep shame, and three years later, he went south again, but he was still stuck in Shandong. This time, Zhu Di did not dare to confront the Shandong army and civilians again, so he simply bypassed Shandong, leaving only a small number of men and horses to entangle Tie Xuan, and led the army to Nanjing. Finally captured Nanjing, Zhu Di established himself as emperor, and changed the name of the year to Yongle. After Zhu Di seized the throne, he returned to the north to attack Shandong. Arriving in Jinan, Tie Xuan refused to surrender, but eventually fell because he was outnumbered.
Therefore, under the loyal garrison of the people of Shandong, Shandong was the last of all the states and counties of the Ming Dynasty to belong to the jurisdiction of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. And when he belonged, Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Hui Dynasty was already missing, and Zhu Di took charge of the jade seal and became the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the best testimony of Shandong people's loyalty.
In the 21 st century, among the seven major military regions of New China, the Jinan Military Region is the only large military region in the Central Plains other than the Beijing Military Region.
Among the many special systems of the Shandong people, unswerving loyalty is only one part of it. For thousands of years, they framed themselves within the framework of the Confucian system, acting strictly according to Confucian norms in their daily lives and in their political operations.
They are staunch dogmatists, who do things in a straightforward way and have no vitality. Outsiders seem to think that they are a bit stereotyped, in the words of later generations, like robots that do things according to orders.
In this respect, the Shandong people are somewhat similar to the Germans, which is why in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Germans chose Jiaozhou as a colony. I think that the Germans at that time not only valued the geographical advantage of Jiaozhou near the sea, but also the honest, loyal, law-abiding and hard-working people in this land, who were somewhat similar to the Germanic people.
It is true that dogmatism has defects of one kind or another, but for a soldier, dogmatic and loyal people are undoubtedly more disciplined and easier to unite. On the battlefield, their every move is completely obeyed by the commander's orders, as long as they can't hear the sound of gold, they will never retreat, even if they fight to the point of a soldier, they are also obedient.
This is the most valuable thing about the legendary Shandong soldiers.
All in all, among the several regions in Shenzhou, if the Northeast soldiers are strong, the Sichuan soldiers are fierce, and the Guizhou soldiers are strong and can bear hardships and stand hard work, then the Shandong people are strong in unity and discipline.
Just like now, in the second century of the A.D. era, the first century of the Shengyuan era, the third year of the Shengyuan era, the third year of the Shengyuan era, behaved on the border battlefield of Xuzhou.
35,000 church guards from Qingzhou and Xuzhou fought a great battle with more than 45,000 Jiangdong troops on the vast plain 300 miles east of the Yinghe River.
The war soon reached a stalemate. The stalemate lasted for more than an hour, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured on both sides. At this time, the sharpness of the Jiangdong Army was almost worn out, and in the fierce battle for more than an hour in the past, a lot of their physical strength and energy were consumed, and they became weak.
On the other hand, the guards of the church, after an hour, they look no different from an hour ago, they are still radiant, big or small, with a bit of dull indifference in their eyes, and at the same time a strong murderous intent.
Under the command of the commander and the chief, they mechanically performed their duties.

"Kill ......" A group of spears stabbed out in unison, knocking down several Jiangdong soldiers.
Seeing that Jiang Dongzu fought back, Shi Chang raised his voice and ordered, "1! "Four shieldmen stepped forward with their shields against their shields at the same time to block the spearmen, they were of different heights, but their steps were of average length and shortness, and they were exactly the same. The knife and axe hand followed, and the sword fell in hand and slashed the attacking Jiangdong soldiers to the ground.
In a trance, Jiang Dongbing felt that the group of northern men in front of him was not a living person, but a puppet, and the thin wires invisible to the naked eye connected their limbs and drove their actions.
They ignored death, and one person in the array was killed, and someone else would fill it in the immediate aftermath. When the flag falls, there will be a nearby guard who throws away his blade and raises the flag again.
In this way, everyone is like a part of the hydraulic spinning wheel produced in Jinan, driving the machine of the church army to run non-stop.
At this moment, Jiang Dongbing was scared. They were not afraid of the bloodthirsty gaze of the wolf, nor the man-eating gaze of the tiger, but they were afraid of the indifferent eyes of the group of life reapers in front of them.
Seeing the whereabouts of the Jiangdong Army's morale, Lu Zhi knew that the time had come, "Trap the regiment and go out!" β
The flags were unfurled, the horns sounded in unison, and the soldiers and horses of the church in front of the battle were separated to the two wings in an orderly manner, showing the trap guards neatly arranged in front of the large array of the Chinese army.
Under the noon sun, the heavy armor of the foot man weighing more than 50 catties on the body of the tall horse and the big trap guard reflected a dazzling light, which was bright and shining, and the one-foot and two-foot-long divine knife bloomed with a dazzling cold light. At the sound of Gao Shun's order, they put down the armor on their heads, hid their faces under the qilin-shaped fine iron armor, and strode through the military formation to kill the Jiangdong array.
"For the glory of Our Lady!"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
For a while, Sun Ce was stunned, Zhou Yu looked stupid, and all the Jiangdong soldiers were stunned. At the moment when they saw the trap army, they who had never seen heavy infantry before were at a loss, they really couldn't think of what kind of combat method they had to use to crack through such a heavy armor, and the strong man who was more than eight feet tall in the armor.
Zhou Yu immediately realized that cavalry was the biggest nemesis of heavy infantry. However, when he was about to wave his hand and send the cavalry into battle, the rest of his eyes caught a glimpse of the iron cavalry that had been waiting for a long time behind the Church army.
Obviously, as long as the Jiangdong cavalry dared to go out to kill the enemy, Lu Zhi would immediately send the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to intercept it head-on.
In front of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, the Jiangdong cavalry was like a child who had not grown up, and the two were not opponents of the same level. Mo said that this time to cross the river, Sun Ce did not bring many cavalry, even if the number of soldiers and horses was equal, the Jiangdong cavalry could not be the opponent of the iron cavalry of Bingzhou.
At this time, the trapping corps and the Jiangdong army came into close contact, and just one round of slashing and killing tore a huge crack in the Jiangdong formation. Jiang Dong's pawns resisted, but the blades of their spears had no effect on the infantry armor, leaving only a shallow scratch on the hard armor.
On the other hand, the guards in the trap completely ignored the blades of the Jiang Dong pawns who raised their hands to block, and went down with one sword, and even the blades led the people into two sections. Seeing that the morale of Jiangdong's pawns plummeted and the battle situation became more and more unfavorable to his side, Zhou Yu decisively made a gold, and the rear team turned into the front team and slowly retreated.
LΓΌ Bu led the iron cavalry of the state to take advantage of the situation to cover the kill, and the Jiangdong army was defeated, and finally borrowed the arrow array to shoot LΓΌ Bu back, and retreated more than 50 miles to set up camp.
Lu Zhi held a telescope in his hand, observed the formation and direction of the Jiangdong Army when it withdrew, raised the corners of his mouth, and did not order the whole army to chase the enemy, waving his hand and returning to the village.
Lu Bu, who returned from chasing the enemy, was shot back by Zhou Yu's arrow array, and he was very puzzled by this, and broke into the big tent of the Chinese army in a huff, and asked Lu Zhi, "Lu Tingshi, our army won a complete victory in this battle, I took advantage of the situation to attack and bring the Zhou Iron Cavalry to entangle the Sun thief fifty miles away, if our army catches up at this time, the Sun thief will be defeated." But with such a good opportunity, how could it be that the reinforcements from the left did not come, the Chinese army from the right did not arrive, and our army was outnumbered, and we ended up in vain. Why didn't you send troops to help. β
Lu Zhi glanced at Lu Bu and said coldly: "Lu Qingzhou, are you guilty?" β
"What's the sin?" Lu Bu's anger did not change.
Lu Zhi said: "Although you are also a state assassin and are at the same level as me, in this big tent, I am the main commander and you are the deputy commander, there is a difference between the top and bottom." Isn't it the crime of confronting an officer when you talk to me, the commander of the army, with such an attitude? β
"You ......" Lu Bu was so angry that he gasped, "Shangguan has done something wrong, as a subordinate, he should point it out." β
"Correcting mistakes is a matter of course, but it's not your correction that makes mistakes. Where are you correcting mistakes, it's simply a teacher asking for guilt! Lu Zhi snorted coldly, "Come on, the lion knight Lu Bu ignored the majesty of the commander and dragged him out to be punished by the military staff." β
Seeing the two armor soldiers entering the account, Lu Bu shouted angrily, "Who dares to touch me!" β
This voice frightened the two armor soldiers for a while, and looked at the brave deputy marshal in front of them with a helpless expression.
"Bold!" Lu Zhi shouted angrily and walked up to Lu Bu, "Violating military law and intending to resist, do you want to rebel?" β
"You're spewing blood." Lu Bu was so angry that he smoked.
"Are you not convinced?"
"Naturally unconvinced!" Lu Bu snorted, "Don't dare to chase the enemy before the battle, miss the opportunity." How can such a timid person be the commander of an army? β
"Haha......" Lu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, "Then I'll convince you!" He took the map of the marching army from the case and threw it in front of Lu Bu, "See for yourself, where did Zhou Yu retreat!" β
"To the southeast!" Lu Bu was stunned, and followed the map to the southeast of his location.
"What do you see?"
"Yinghe River Valley!" Lu Bu gasped when he saw these four small words on the map.
Lu Zhi picked up the tea bowl, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and asked, "Understood?" β
"You mean?" Lu Bu's thinking became clearer and clearer, "Zhou Yu set up an ambush there. But they have been fleeing, and there is no time to set up an ambush! β
"It's time, they have time!" Lu Zhi raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Bu, "Actually, before today's battle, they had already set up an ambush there, just waiting to intercept and kill our pursuers after the defeat. β
"What? Are you saying that today's battle of Jiangdong soldiers is a fraudulent defeat? β
Lu Zhi shook his head, "It's not a cheat, it's really defeated." As for the ambush in the Yinghe River valley, it is just a back road left by them, and once the army is defeated, it is good to have a response. If we follow us, we'll break a lot of horses, and they might be able to turn the tide of the war. β
"I see! The cloth almost broke the big thing. Lu Bu nodded again and again, and Lu Zhi's attitude became much more respectful.
