Chapter 6: Life in the World (3)
In the pre-World War world, in a world where machine guns and rapid-fire guns had not yet been used on a large scale, White Soldier warfare was still a very common means, and even a means of deciding victory or defeat in many cases. Whether it is the lobster soldiers of the British, or the armies of France and Russia, they all have strict training in white-knuckle warfare. Among them, the Russians are even greater. "The bayonet is a hero, the bullet is a fool, and the cannon can strengthen the courage" is the best portrayal of the importance that the Russians attach to white-knuckle warfare, although this sentence is a bit crazy.
And white-knuckle combat requires more discipline and morale than gunfire. The soldiers of the patrol battalion are usually good at suppressing the common people, because not only is there no danger, but they can also rob easily, rob money and rob color, and they are naturally extremely brave. But to fight hard with these thieves with cannons? We're not like that! As for the few taels of silver given by the imperial court, it is only nine months' salary every year, and everyone can be considered worthy of the imperial court if they put their guns far away. The so-called thief who flees is brave.
The soldiers thought so, and the battalion officers' thoughts were much more complicated, including the fear of brutal killings in battle, and the reluctance to give up the wealth of their wives and concubines, and by the way, they also thought about how to cover up this great disaster. God is pitiful, he was also a hero of the three armies on the battlefield, but after so many years of wealth and gentleness, there is no courage at all. In fact, this is also the usual ending of the Qing Dynasty warriors. For those battalion leaders who dare to fight in the war, the imperial court is trying to make it slowly corrupt. Otherwise, what would the Manchurians rely on to rule the billions of people in the Central Plains?
The horses carried the battalion officers who had made their bodies and roared towards the county seat of Handan. When encountering those who were in the way, the battalion officer whipped mercilessly. Along the way, passers-by were frightened by its blood and crazy momentum. The crowd was shocked and confused, wondering what had happened. The adults of the patrol battalion are like dead fathers. There are also smart ones who vaguely guessed that something big had happened, and ran home in a hurry.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the battalion officers seemed to have returned to more than twenty years ago. It's the same end of the road. However, after all, he is no longer the brave boy he was back then, whether it is ** or will, he is on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the county seat is already in sight. Just go back to the city
On the official road, a horse ran wildly, passers-by avoided one after another, but a person with a spear in his hand stood on the road.
The battalion officer was a little confused and a little afraid. He didn't know what this guy standing in the middle of the road wanted to do, or that he didn't have time to think, so he just followed his instincts, whipped and whipped away.
Then, in his senses, the world seemed to stand still. No, it can't be said to be still. Rather, the passage of time has become extremely slow. There is a blue streamer on the opposite side, blooming like a pear blossom. Then, a thousand dazzling lights filled his entire line of vision, and his vision dimmed.
He's dead.
In the eyes of onlookers, it was the battalion officer who had just raised his whip on his horse, as if he had hit a high mountain. The war horse neighed and raised its hooves, and the blue light penetrated through the front chest of the war horse, tearing the flesh and blood, turning thousands of pounds of horses and human bodies into pieces flying in the air.
The passers-by at the gate of the city were stunned when they saw this terrible scene, and they all lost their voices for a while. After the man with the gun lifted the head of the battalion officer who had fallen into the dust, the passers-by looked at each other, suspecting that it was in a dream, and it took a long time to shout, crying and dispersing.
Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a torrential rain in Handan City. The war horse snorted violently, angry at the rough operation of the master. The murderous knights broke into the county government and threw the grinning head of the battalion officer in front of the county magistrate.
Looking at the two wars but trying to maintain the majestic county order, Chen Cheng smashed the box in his hand on the case, and then opened the box slowly and methodically. For a moment, the interior seemed to be filled with golden light. Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, the opened box was filled with gold bars.
The county commander was stunned for a moment, and tried to swallow his saliva, but he didn't know what the young man in front of him meant.
"You take all these gold bars, and you should put them up and down, and calm down today's affairs."
It turned out that there was a request for rain, and the county order was bold.
"If anything goes wrong, I'll take out the gold and put something else in it."
The prefectural commander's expression was scornful, and his eyes glanced at the head on the ground, didn't he want to say that he would put my head in it?
The cold sweat came down in an instant, and then he nodded his head busily.
Without waiting for the county order to have any other words, Chen Cheng walked away surrounded by the knights. Leaving only words that I don't know if they are threats or threats:
"My Black Dragon Society is as skilled as a cloud, and Your Excellency is good at doing it yourself. Beware of sleeping with a head and waking up without a head! ”
"That's it?" Lin Mengchu's face was full of boring expressions, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you report this matter to me?" ”
"Uh, you say don't bother you if there's no bad news"
"Okay, okay," the girl stood up, put her hands behind her back, circled around the hall, and said thoughtfully: "This matter is over, since Handan City and should be taken down, then we should go to the capital next." ”
She immediately affirmed: "Yes, we should go to the capital!" ”
"What are you doing in the capital?"
The girl's face was radiant, and the single ponytail flicked at the back of her head to show that the owner was in a good mood, and she said loudly: "Of course, I went to grab more land and took more!" By the way, I also want to make a name for myself and spread the prestige of our Black Dragon Society and my Black Dragon King to the world! ”
"That's it," Chen Cheng rubbed his chin and said: "Since you are going to the capital, why don't you put up a banner with these seven words in big letters: Fight all over the world invincible!" ”
"What do you think?"
"Very well," the girl nodded in satisfaction, "just what I want!" ”
