Chapter 296: Busy Inside and Out
In the next few days, Xiao Yi and dozens of other middle and senior officers of the Yong'an Army sat in the school field almost all day to watch the competition, but the rest were slightly inferior to the first competition between Zheng Cuo and Liu Liu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's also exciting, but it's missing some tricks.
mostly relies on the strength of the body, although after a long time of training and many battles, Xiao can also see that there is still little foundation in his hands.
But even so, it also attracted the shouts of the surrounding soldiers and civilians, and Ulju has become a huge 'ancient Roman arena' in the past few days.
Walking anywhere in Ulzhou, you can hear the earth-shaking cheers coming from the school grounds, all kinds of literati and gather here, while watching the competition inside, while being elegant and elegant in the restaurant not far away, so happy.
This is the last day of the Yong'an Army's expansion, Xiao Yi and others are sitting on the northernmost side of the school field, surrounded by more than a dozen Yong'an Army pikemen, looking at the competition that is going on in the field, they are constantly nodding and discussing.
The two people who had just stepped onto the stage, one of them holding a wooden shield in his left hand and a wooden knife in his right hand, was obviously a knife player from the Zhenwei Battalion.
What is amazing is not that this person looks ugly, but that he actually uses a sword and shield to compete on stage.
These days, although there are many sword players participating in the competition, there are few who use the sword and shield to compete.
At this time, most people are not accustomed to the use of swords and shields, only in practice and combat for protection will be so, the competition of knife players for convenience, generally one hand knife to do things, according to their ideas, this can also better play the strength.
"Gu San Mazi, you really use both swords and shields." The soldier with a knife in his hand on the other side said with a smile.
Gu San Mazi laughed when he heard this, several black particles on his face kept shaking, and the wooden knife in his right hand slapped a few times on the wooden shield, making a 'bang' sound, and his eyes were full of coldness.
Gu San Mazi shouted: "Come on!" ”
"Pick it up!"
Hearing this, the sword-wielding soldier held the knife in both hands, strode a few steps forward, and slashed with a roar.
"Bang!"
Sure enough, Gu San Mazi propped up a wooden shield to block the knife, and then Gu San Mazi paced a few steps quickly with his legs, changing to a position that was more favorable to him.
The soldier seemed to be afraid that Gu San Mazi would fight back, and the first knife went down, it was a series of continuous offensives, or chopping or splitting, in the eyes of the surrounding people, they could only see Gu San Mazi parrying 'reluctantly', and the sound of 'bang' was endless.
After blocking this knife, Gu San Mazi felt that the sound of the wooden shield in his hand was slightly different, combined with the force from his hand, Gu San Mazi knew that he used a lot of strength in this knife.
Generally, after using too much force, there will be a short period of weakness, thinking of this, Gu San Mazi adjusted his position at the same time, he was also observing the pace of the soldier.
Sure enough, Gu San Mazi saw that the soldier was adjusting his breath while revealing his slightly messy steps, but the soldier was still holding a knife and yelling at Gu San Mazi.
Gu Sanmazi's face shook, and he said in his heart: Bluff, it's a pity that he found the wrong person, how can he Gu Sanmazi be scared!
This time, Gu San Mazi did not use the wooden shield to block, but rushed over with a wooden shield in a few steps, but the soldier didn't expect Gu San Mazi to suddenly fight back.
Yelling and swinging the knife was originally to cover up the fact that he was weak, and he didn't have much strength, but he didn't expect to be recognized by this Gu San Mazi!
The wooden knife slashed at the wooden shield in the impact and only made a slight sound, and then the soldier was hit by Gu San Mazi and stepped back a few steps.
"The time has come!"
Gu San Mazi glared at him, suddenly shouted, and threw down the wooden shield is kick.
"Bang!"
As far as the eye could see, Gu Sanmazi, who had been on the defensive, suddenly rose up, actually threw down the wooden shield, and kicked down the soldier who seemed to have been taking the lead.
Then, before he got up, he jumped over and pointed a knife at the soldier's throat, and in an instant, the victory was decided!
Immediately after that, Gu San Mazi hehehe, he stretched out his hand to the soldier in a friendly manner.
Defeated by Gu San Mazi, the soldier didn't seem to have a trace of anger, and took Gu San Mazi's hand without hesitation, and the two laughed.
The soldier picked up the wooden knife, and he had already expected the general saying: "You old pockmark, you are from the Zhenwei camp, you can't give some face, my wife is watching around, it's good to fight for a while." ”
Gu San Mazi hugged the soldier and said with a smile: "You don't know, my old Mazi usually does anything, once the fight starts, it will be two people." ”
patted Gu Sanmazi's shoulder vigorously, and the soldier smiled: "Haha, you! ”
The surrounding people are also applauding this competition, Xiao Yi can see clearly, this Gu San Mazi is simply a good seedling of a knife player, and over time, he will be able to lead a team alone.
Huang Yang said: "Gu San Mazi, this is really a wonderful competition!" ”
Gu San Mazi used the defense of the shield to adjust his pace, ensuring that while defending himself, he was looking for the enemy's flaws, and the slightest flaw was a thunderous offensive.
Wang Dayong and Shi Gang were full of praise, but Shi Lu said: "This Gu San Mazi does have some fist and foot skills, but it also has a fatal point. ”
"Tell me, what's deadly?" Xiao Yi was interested, looked at Shi Lu and asked, Shi Gang and the others also looked sideways, and while a few people were talking, the rest of the sentry commanders and captains also looked over.
Shi Lu nodded and said, "Gu San Mazi caught that person's flaw, the attack was good, but he threw the shield, if he was in the battlefield, he would almost die." ”
Seeing Xiao Yi nodding, Shi Lu continued: "Besides, the main responsibility of the Yongan saber player is to protect the spearmen and bird gunners in the rear, and the secondary thing is to kill the enemy, if you throw down the shield on the battlefield, it is a good opportunity for the enemy to break the formation!" ”
"That's right, this requires you to train this kid well, and he is also a good man." Xiao Yi smiled.
Shi Gang laughed: "Let this Gu San Mazi come to the total, I promise that he will not dare to throw the shield again." ”
Shi Lu glanced at Shi Gang and said with a smile: "Old Shi, this is starting to rob people?" ”
Careful thinking was punctured, Shi Gang said strongly: "Niang Xipi, why is this robbing people... Look, the next one begins! ”
……
Ten days have passed, in general, the expansion of the recruitment is also very smooth, the list of candidates for the Yong'an Army has been drawn up, and at the same time, the number of vacancies in the Zhenwei camp has also been expanded, just waiting for the army to gather in the school field and rearrange the drill.
Although they can only enter the Zhenwei battalion, the people who sign up are still not few, and the treatment of the Zhenwei battalion is better than that of the officers and soldiers.
If you go out to suppress bandits and return victoriously, you will be even more glorious, so naturally everyone is vying to sign up.
The endless stream of applicants kicked through the threshold of the mansion of Li Erniu, Yuan Shaogong, and Zhou Ding, who were in charge of this matter, and at most the queue even filled the entire street, and Li Erniu was busy all day with back pain and rolled his eyes.
During this period, a very interesting thing happened, an old man with gray hair actually came to join the army, a handful of snot and tears, if only in the past in Ulzhou, it would be good to beat away with a stick, even if he was killed, who could say anything?
But the current Ulzhou is different, and the guerrilla general Xiao Yi is particularly strict in dealing with the soldiers and the people.
The regulations of the Yong'an Army also clearly stipulate that if a non-commissioned officer causes trouble to the people, he will be deprived of all household registration, the whole family will be expelled from the whole territory of Ulzhou, and there will even be a beheading punishment at the worst, which also shows Xiao Yi's attitude.
Li Erniu naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, but this old man didn't let Li Erniu talk about it, and Li Erniu, who was angry, rolled his eyes, and even considered whether to find Xiao Yi to solve it.
This decision is not easy to make, this bit of brought Xiao Yi over, although Xiao Yi will not say anything on his face, but Li Erniu understands in his heart that Xiao Yi is afraid that he will despise himself.
Just when he was at a loss, fortunately, the old man's family came in time, how to say that Li Erniu is also a Qianzong Tuntian official, a senior officer in Ulzhou.
Seeing his old father's style, he actually went to Mr. Qian's house, the family was full of fear, and apologized to Li Erniu, so they carried the old man back.
After entering the last person into the household registration, Li Erniu stretched his waist and exhaled: "Damn, I'm finally done with my busy work, I've been tired to death these days." ”
Li Erniu lay comfortably on the chair, and the two maids behind him served respectfully, humming comfortably a few times, not to mention that comfortable look.
Li Erniu recalled that he had been the president of Qianzong for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a lively recruitment of officers and soldiers.
In the impression of the people at the end of the Ming Dynasty, being a soldier is to work with your head in your hands, which is more risky than going up the mountain and falling into the grass.
There are few people left to serve as soldiers, not to mention that the imperial court still withholds food and salary every year, and the most basic military uniforms have not been issued for several years.
Therefore, it has caused a serious phenomenon of generals in various places protecting the calves of their own sergeants.
Whatever is good is assigned to his subordinates at the first time, as for the crime, it is generally concealed and not reported, and even most of the generals follow together as traitors, and when they meet the people they are like wolves and tigers, they meet more ruthless rogues and Tartars, and they run faster and faster.
Speaking of which, although the expansion of the army this time is tiring, this is for their own selection of troops, as soon as they think of this, the three of them immediately raised twelve points of motivation.
Not to mention those who are not qualified, those who meet various conditions are much more than the amount to be recruited, Li Erniu and the three of them are carefully selected.
So after the recruitment was completed, the three of them were amazed, after being a general for so many years, it was the first time that they were so happy to recruit soldiers.
Everyone in the streets and alleys wanted to come to be soldiers, and when they saw that they actually had people take the initiative to greet them, they affectionately called the three of them Lord Li, Lord Yuan, and Lord Zhou, which made them feel that it was worth it to be busy.
Now this kind of thing can only happen in Ulzhou, and I think it's really thanks to the guerrilla general Xiao Yi.
