Chapter 33: Who Else Is Not Convinced?
Luo Ming and the others participated in the Battle of Xihe, and they had been in battle for a long time, and their courage was extraordinary. However, Mo Dao is powerful, that kind of power is coming, if you don't retreat, it's like you want to split yourself in half, you can't help but retreat.
"It's a split in the air, why should I retreat?" After retreating, Luo Ming reacted, such a performance, a little too weak, a good man who has been on the battlefield and killed people, how can he be so embarrassed?
However, just now, when I thought about it, I saw Mo Dao slashing down again, and I had to subconsciously move a small step.
"Rumble!" After the Mo knife, it was the cavalry that attacked. Five hundred cavalry rumbled and galloped, their hooves thundering, and a large cloud of smoke and dust splashed like a landslide and the earth cracked. Although there were only 500 men, this kind of power was very terrifying, and it was not inferior to the gallop of 5,000 cavalry.
"The Converts Army can relieve the siege of Xiongzhou, and it also has its advantages." Luo Ming had to admit that the Converts still had their strengths.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the cavalry first used a hand crossbow, then a bow and arrow, and then a spear charged, Luo Ming's eyes narrowed: "How can this cavalry be different from our cavalry?" Well, with more crossbows and spears, it's much more powerful. If our cavalry had fought like this, our cavalry would have been much more powerful. Oh, they should also be armed with thunderbolts, it's just that this is a martial arts exercise, and it is not used. ”
Not only Luo Ming was surprised by Mo Ming, but Wang Shao also raised his eyebrows sharply when he saw it in his eyes, and was amazed: "Brother Wu, I didn't expect that the cavalry would be so useful in your hands." I lost the battle of Xihe, but I didn't expect that the cavalry could be used like this. ”
"Wang Shumi, you are too modest." Wu Ji shook his head and said, "The Battle of Xihe is different from other places, there are many mountainous areas, the terrain is dangerous, and it is extremely complicated, which is convenient for infantry to fight, and the cavalry is not very easy to play. ”
The place where Xixia is located is now the Northwest Plateau, where there are many mountains, the terrain is extremely complex, especially dangerous, and the main battle is mountain warfare, which requires infantry to play, and cavalry is not easy to come in.
"That being said, it is still possible to find a battlefield that is convenient for cavalry. It's just that I didn't expect that cavalry could be used like this, not bad! Not bad! Wang Shao was cheerful, and when he thought of it, he said, but he didn't erase Wu Ji's strengths because he was a famous general, but appreciated it even more.
After the spear, it is a captive knife to slash and kill, the knife light flashes, bright and bright, so it is not terrifying. Luo Ming's soldiers were dumbfounded, and they were all stunned.
What surprised them the most was that a thousand crossbowmen collected their bows and rushed to kill them with their swords. Although they are crossbowmen, their sword skills are quite exquisite, even from the perspective of elites like them who have been on the battlefield and killed people, they are quite extraordinary.
"This ...... When will a crossbowman be able to slash and kill? Luo Ming's eyes widened, looking at the crossbowmen who were slashing, and their faces were confused.
Although they were the elite who accompanied Wang Shao to the Xihe River, they still did not break out of the inherent traditions of the Song army, and in their consciousness, crossbowmen could only use crossbows, not slash. Like the crossbowmen of the Converts, they really hadn't seen anything so brave, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother, you are a trained soldier, crossbowmen can slash, cavalry can use guns, all of them are all-rounders!" Wang Shao was also surprised, it should be said that he was shocked, his mouth was wide open, and it took him a long time to say a word of praise.
Although he was a famous general, the soldiers he trained were very sharp and capable of fighting, and won the victory of the Battle of Xihe. His army is also relatively comprehensive, much more powerful than the ordinary Song army. However, as the current Converts are so capable of slashing and slashing, and they are so skilled, they are far from being achieved.
was stunned, as if he was still unsatisfied, and then praised: "The army of the Great Song Dynasty has a single combat method, and the archers can only shoot arrows, not cut and kill." Knifemen only use knives, not bows and arrows. The gunners only use guns, they don't hack and kill, these are old problems. Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Brother Wei and I are all aware of these problems and want to change, but they are unsuccessful. Brother, it's still you, you did it. After your change, the combat power of the Great Song Army will increase exponentially, no wonder it can suppress the leather room army! ”
Realizing and doing are two very different concepts with different levels of difficulty and a big difference. Famous generals like Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Wang Shao still recognize this problem, but they have not changed their success.
"Huh! Your use of the bow and crossbow is astounding. If you don't shoot an arrow beforehand, you have more chances to kill or damage your enemies. The Great Song Dynasty has excellent bows and crossbows, but there is no good usage, many people want to change, but there is no good way. Brother, after you changed it like this, the long-range damage of the Great Song Army was shocking, making up for the disadvantage of the lack of cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Shao was really eye-opening, and his heart was very shocked, this praise was a pile after a bunch, and it didn't give Wu Ji a chance to be humble at all.
On the issue of the use of long-range weapons, many generals of the Song Dynasty were aware of it, but none of them succeeded in changing it, and it was not until the Battle of Monk Yuan that it was completed by Wu Jue.
"It's over!" Wu Ji's reform has increased the combat power of the Conversion Army several times, otherwise, it would not have pressed the Leather Room Army to fight.
"Collect the troops!" Li Mingchu gave an order, the gong sounded, and the converted army rumbled around and began to line up, and soon the formation was completed, and the original thick and solemn formation appeared again, and the momentum was pressing.
Wu Ji strode to the front of the formation, rushed to the letter of military training, and said: "Brothers, you have shown your hand at the right time, it is very good!" I'm satisfied! Next, you must brace your spirits and meet the challenge of the Western Army. They had participated in the Battle of Xihe, and each of them had killed at least three or more enemies, and some had killed more than 30 enemies. Don't let the Western Army underestimate you! ”
"Never let the Western Army look down on you!" The converted army erupted into a shocking roar, looking at the Western Army, very excited, eager to compete.
The Western Army is the name of the Shaanzhou Army. Since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the strategic focus of the Song Dynasty shifted from the Liao State to the Western Xia, because of the relationship with the Western Xia for many years, the combat power of the Shaanzhou army was extremely strong, and it was known as the elite soldiers in the world.
If nothing else, the fame of Xibing alone is enough to make people pay attention. Not to mention, these western soldiers are still the elite of Wang Shao's expedition to Hexi, and everyone is beheaded above the third level, which is even more worthy of attention.
Listening to the provocative roar of the Converts, Luo Ming and the other Western soldiers all changed color on their faces, but no one spoke, let alone dared to fight.
Wu Ji came to Luo Ming, looked at him, and said loudly: "Commander Luo, now is your chance." You can command the western soldiers and fight with the converts, whether you live or die. Every time you kill a convert, you will be given merit according to the beheading level. I will also be in the battle, if you can capture me, or kill me, and make meritorious service by beheading, will you dare to fight? ”
His eyes rolled, and he looked at the western soldiers, very provocative.
"I, I, I ......" Luo Ming said several words in a row, but there was no follow-up.
There was silence, no one dared to fight, and the western soldiers replied with silence.
Wu Ji's words were very provocative, which made them very uncomfortable. However, they also knew that the converts were indeed successful, and that if they fought with them, they would suffer heavy casualties. Although Wu Ji said that every time they kill a convert, they will be credited with killing the enemy, but they have seen the power of the converting army, and no one has the courage to fight.
Not to mention anything else, once the Mo knife and the thunderbolt are powerful, it is enough for them to be unbearable, who dares to look for death?
"You are the Western soldiers, the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty, you are so bold? Don't dare to take on a challenge? Wu Ji ignored their green faces, and then hit their arrogance.
There was silence, no one spoke. It's just that the face of the western soldier is even greener.
"In vain, you followed Wang Shumi to fight in Xihe, boasted of yourself, and beheaded at least three or more, just such a little courage?" Wu Ji's voice turned high, a little shrill and piercing: "It's not that I look down on you, it's you who make me look down on you!" ”
"Who else is not convinced?" Wu Ji finally shouted, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking people's ear drums.
Still silent, no one in the Western Soldiers dared to disagree. Whoever refuses to accept will challenge the Converts Army, which is self-defeating.
When it came to this, the arrogance of the Western soldiers was gone, and some were just silent.
Wu Ji came to Luo Ming, looked at Luo Ming, and asked loudly, "Commander Luo, are you convinced?" ”
Shicai, he made the most trouble, and now, naming Wu Ji in front of him, it tastes very uncomfortable. However, if he didn't answer, he couldn't do it, Luo Ming snorted: "Commander Wudu, I'm convinced!" Served! ”
His voice was so small that only a few people nearby could hear him. Wu Ji didn't give him face, and yelled: "You didn't eat? Like a woman. Be louder! ”
"Wu Du commanded, Luo Ming was convinced! Convincing! Luo Ming puffed up his courage and roared loudly, his face red and his neck thick.
"Commander Luo, I want to remind you that this is your chance to challenge me. If you miss this one, you'll never get a chance again. I'm looking forward to competing with you. Wu Ji ignored his face, and then slapped his face with words.
This is the case in the army, only the strong have status and respect, and the weak can only be slapped in the face. Sure enough, Luo Ming lowered his head: "Wu Du commands, they are all small people who have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and there are many collisions, and I ask Wu Du to forgive me!" ”
The attitude is extremely respectful, inversely proportional to the arrogance of the right talent, and the small word puts the figure very low.
"Your Western Army is still good, dare to fight and fight, everyone has beheaded the third level or above, I admire you very much." Wu Ji knew that he had to give a sweet date if he slapped him, and began to say good things and tout the Western Army.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xibing's face looked much better, no longer green, and his face was full of red light. Today's Wu Ji, in the minds of the Western soldiers, is the image of Gao Daquan, otherwise, he would not have trained such an elite as the Guixin Army, not to mention, look at the appearance, the Guixin Army loves him very much. can be praised by generals like Wu Ji, they really have a sense of pride.
"Would you like to join the Converts?" Wu Ji finally got to the point.
"I am willing to swear to follow the command of Wu Du to the death!" Luo Ming took the lead in kneeling down, with a look of joy on his face.
"I am willing to swear to follow the command of Wu Du to the death!" The western soldiers knelt down in unison, all with excitement on their faces.
