Chapter 136: Passing on the Torch
The training of the Junior Army was fierce and brutal, even for Yang Zaixing, who was the leader of it.
The young sergeant who led Lu Zhishenle and the two into the camp just swept his eyes and found Yang Zaixing's figure from the dusty training ground, and at this moment he was fighting seven young sergeants with his bare hands.
Lu Zhishen, who had seen a heads-up between the young Yang Zaixing and Yang Zhi, naturally knew the strength of this young man, but when he saw the situation in the field, he was taken aback. I saw that the seven young sergeants who were against the enemy were also empty-handed against the enemy, and there were quite a lot of regulations between the progress, and the cooperation with each other was also quite tacit, although there was a significant gap in strength between each of them and Yang Zaixing, but the seven joined forces to fight the enemy, but instead suppressed Yang Zaixing to the death, making him unable to break out of the encirclement composed of seven people.
In order to prevent non-combat attrition during training, the Cadet Army uses wooden equipment in combat training on weekdays, but for Yang Zaixing, who is accustomed to heavy blades such as iron guns, the wooden guns are too light, so he is still used to being empty-handed.
Lu Zhishen has a vicious vision in martial arts, especially in foot combat, and he rarely encounters opponents. In the later "Water Margin", Lu Zhishen was the first person in the Liangshan Infantry Army.
Having seen blood in the battle array, and fighting with the elite soldiers of the Western Xia in the thousands of ravines and ravines of the Loess Plateau, Lu Zhishen can be regarded as a real combat faction. Such a fierce and abnormal battle for the city is the most intuitive scene to test the combat power of a foot soldier.
The courage to fight, the perseverance when fighting each other, and the cooperation between the soldiers and soldiers are indispensable to whether they can be worthy of the title of a strong army.
In terms of brave and daring troops, there are many outstanding people in the Western Army, who can have enough persistence and patience in the fight for their lives, as far as Lu Zhishen knows. In addition to the commanders and pro-armies of the commanders, the rest is also a Baiqi army. As for the battle formation, it takes a long time to exercise and run-in. Even the test of blood and fire on the battlefield is not available overnight.
And the young cavalry in front of him. These three points are all in place, and there is a rare arrogance.
There is a cloud in the art of war, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated! In fact, to cultivate the arrogance of an army, it is by no means simple, and it needs to be watered by victory on the battlefield. The so-called arrogance here is not arrogance, but in the face of any opponent, there is a sword drawn. A strong momentum that makes the enemy fearful.
It is not easy to train troops, and it is even more difficult to become an army.
From the young men in front of him who were sweating wantonly on the drill field, Lu Zhishen had already seen the shadow of a strong army in a trance, but this feeling was the same as Xu Guanzhong's reception pavilion outside Dengzhou City that day.
After a big drum sounded three times on the side of the drill field, all the young soldiers in the field stopped, no matter how many punches and kicks they received, after hearing the sound of the drum, they immediately stopped and rushed to the corner of the drill field in a very short time. There were neatly stacked suits of armor and blades.
A moment ago, he was still rolling in the field like a mud monkey, but for a moment, everyone was wearing armor and holding guns. Armed with powerful crossbow arrows, they lined up in a row and began to run in circles around the arena.
One, two, three......
The length and width of this drill field are about 200 zhang, and it is nearly four miles around the field, and according to Lu Zhishen's estimation on the side, every young soldier in the field is carrying more than 35 pounds of weight at the moment.
A full ten laps. Yang Zaixing, who was running at the front of the queue, stopped, and the young soldiers who accompanied him. During this period, no one was left behind, which can be seen. Running with weights at such distances and speeds is not their limit.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the Cadet Army practiced a military system of one drill every three days, which was divided into two parts, and as for the training of each person on weekdays, there were regulations and arrangements. This kind of intense exercise is the only one in this era. When he learned this, even Lu Zhishen, a fierce general from the Western Army, exclaimed.
The elite of the Western Army, but every ten days, is extremely rare in this era, and the Western Army is already one of the leaders in the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty. If it weren't for this, how could the expenses of the Western Army occupy fifty percent of the imperial court's annual income.
"Brother Lehe!"
Yang Zaixing, who got off the playground, saw Lehe at a glance, and immediately walked a few steps to meet him, his face was very eager.
"Look who this is!"
Just now, Lu Zhishen just looked at the situation on the field, and walked away unconsciously, at this moment, there was a distance of thirty zhang from where Le He was standing, and it was no wonder that Yang Zaixing, who was walking here, did not notice this huge monk.
Following what Le He pointed out, Yang Zaixing saw Lu Zhishen at a glance. It's just that since the last trip to the Daimyo's Mansion, Ximenqing has never sent anyone to the camp of the Young Army, so he is focused on military training, but he doesn't know that Lu Zhishen has already entered Ximenqing's command.
"What a thief monk!"
Yang Zaixing still remembered the events on the mountain road that day, although this Lu Zhishen was able to enter the camp, which already showed that his identity was different from the past, but when he thought of the dragon and tiger fight between this person and Bian Xiang that day, how could he still endure it. Moreover, Bian Xiang privately admitted that if he hadn't had the advantage that day, he might not have been able to draw with this person. The implication is that Bian Xiang, who is now recognized as the first in martial arts among Ximen Qing's subordinates, admits that his skills are not as good as others.
There was no blade around him, and seeing that Lu Zhishen was also empty-handed, Yang Zaixing, a young man who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, completely ignored everything else, stepped forward, and rushed over to Lu Zhishen in front of him, as if the other party was his father's enemy.
Seeing that Yang Zaixing didn't care about it, he started to fight when he came up, and Lu Zhishen was also itching.
For a while, the two staged an all-martial arts performance on the sidelines of this drill, and the fight was called a hearty one.
The two of them are both powerful and fierce people, and the martial arts they practice are also wide open and closed, blocking the hard frame, spreading out the four arms, the wind is loud, the fists and feet are going back and forth, so exciting, and they look at the same group of young soldiers on the side, holding their breath.
In this dragon fight, the two fought straight to hundreds of rounds, and the young Yang Zaixing became more and more excited, roaring again and again, which can be described as happy. On the other hand, Lu Zhishen, in the future, his two-handed tricks became more conservative, but he relied more on his feet.
In fact, although Yang Zaixing is a martial arts wizard, he is still inferior to the experienced Lu Zhishen, and the reason why he has been able to support it until now and even gain the upper hand is because Lu Zhishen was humiliated by Song Jiang a few days ago, especially the injuries on the shoulder blades of his arms have not yet healed, and his strength can only exert sixty percent at most.
Le He on the side is a clever person, and he has been watching Lu Zhishen from beginning to end, so he doesn't know.
"Brother Yang, stop it! Master Lu has injuries on his body! ”
Hearing this, Yang Zaixing immediately came to his senses and quickly stopped, at this moment, Yang Zaixing was no longer half dissatisfied with this "thief monk", and he had a little admiration in his heart. In this fight just now, he could really feel the mercy of the other party's subordinates, but after the fight, after all, the young man was so forgetful that he couldn't help but not notice the changes in the details.
"The master's martial arts skills are outstanding, and I am very impressed!"
"I'm afraid of being young and strong, I believe that in less than ten years, your kid's martial arts will be above me!"
For a while, the two of them laughed heartily, the sound shook the sky, the past was entangled, and they paid off the water. (To be continued)
