Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Contest
Chapter 7: The Great Confrontation
"Sir, these three strategies are all good strategies to calm the enemy, but the strategy is too urgent, if this court now asks to go to Shaanxi, the emperor will not agree, and the traitors take the opportunity to go down the mountain, causing consequences, no one can afford it. Ben Shuai, it is better to take the middle and lower two strategies, while training the troops, and slowly showing flaws, let the rebels take the initiative to find me for a decisive battle. ”
"Your Excellency is wise."
Yue Su now occupies the commanding heights of the Flying Fox Pass and the Slope, and the rebels want to raid, which is a great difficulty, but right now, the red-clothed cannon is useless. Yuesu divided his troops into three routes, set up three large camps, the first battalion, located at the foot of Feihukou Mountain, divided into 5,000 troops, led by the guerrilla general Wu Jia Province, in charge of artillery, training horses, and transporting grain and grass. The second camp, located in the original rebel camp, was personally managed by Yue Su, with 10,000 horses. The third battalion, located in front of the commanding heights, has 5,000 soldiers, led by the guerrilla general Jin Chan, and specializes in training men and horses. This is also Yue Su's intention to promote Jin Chan and Wu Jia Province and let them experience it.
Jin Chan is Lord Yue's henchman, and there have long been rumors in the army that whoever dares to be blamed is honest. Jin Chan has practiced in the six doors, and also learned some military training methods, and now he is painting a scoop according to the gourd and acting in the army. Jin Cicada has the temper of a green forest, plus Yue Su's tomorrow's love general, and will soon obey those soldiers and oil training, you know, if you don't accept it, he will really fight, and he will also beat you. In this way, the soldiers and uncles of the front battalion quickly comprehended Congrong's common sense and began to slowly take on their appearance.
Compared with Jin Cicada, Wujia Province has to work relatively hard to train troops. Wu Jia Province is only a martial artist, and within a few days of listening to Lord Suiyue, he suddenly let him command 5,000 people in the rear camp, and it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced. If you catch up with some veteran ruffians, when Lao Tzu eats food from Rong, you haven't broken it yet.
Wu Jia Province was in trouble, Yue Su didn't care, just watched coldly, how did he do it. If you really have the ability, you will definitely be able to train the horse well, and you will be promoted in the future. If I don't have the ability, I will sell Jiang Jie a favor at most, and give you a stable official bell.
Fortunately, Wujia Province did not disappoint Jiang Jie, he relied on the military discipline with clear rewards and punishments, as well as his own skills, and finally slowly tamed these soldiers and began to practice them in a decent way.
As for the 10,000 people in the Chinese army Yue Su, Yue Su sent Tie Qi and Tong Xuan to lead and practice, and they lowered their eyelids at 'Yue Shaved Head', and these soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they started training from the first day, which was a serious book.
Soon after a month, the food and salary were also delivered, and usually the court paid the salary, and when they arrived in the army, they would definitely be deducted a lot for various reasons. But Lord Yue's military salary, no one even dares to deduct half of it, the big guy knows, which hand dares to take it, Lord Yue dares to chop which hand you have.
When the food and salary arrived, Lord Yue did not distribute horses, but organized a big confrontation between the three armies. The three armies are naturally three battalions in the front, middle and rear, the front battalion and the rear battalion, each battalion sends 1,000 troops, and the Chinese army sends 2,000 troops, that is, Tie Qiu and Tong Xuan each draw 1,000 people from the army they trained.
Four thousand men and horses fought each other at the foot of the mountain, and they parted from the contest of horses, infantry, bows, and formations, and no matter which one of them won, they would be awarded a thousand taels of silver, and if none of the five came down and none of them won outstandingly, they ran along the back camp to the front camp, and went back and forth three times. It means that the soldiers are beneficial, and there is also a heavy reward.
A thousand taels of silver for a thousand people is really not much, but the general who commanded the four armies was full of strength, especially Tie Qiu, who shouted a slogan to his subordinates, five battles, must all win. Take one less item, and when you practice every day, you have to run back and forth from the back camp to the front camp. If you can't win all five items, in addition to the reward and punishment of the marshal, everyone will also be rewarded with five military sticks.
On the day of the confrontation, 4,000 men and horses lined up at the foot of the mountain to practice, and it was really different, the intimidation of Tie Qiu did play a role, and in the first competition, he took the lead. Don't be iron-clad and don't know how to train, but the people who Lord Yue has equipped him with can train soldiers, there are a total of 16 martial artists in this department, and he is equipped with six here, in addition to Wang Yuanhua's assistance, plus his strictness, if he can't practice, then he will be a ghost.
The second formation turned out to be the victory of the iron-clad horse. Yue Su gave a reward on the spot and praised Tie Qiu. Yue Su's praise made the other three brothers very annoyed, Yin Zhu is not a professional background, but it's okay, Jin Chan and Tie Qiu are like brothers, although they are annoyed, they are also happy for him. But Wu Jiaxing's chagrin, that is real, his own martial arts background, if he can't even compare with these errand soldiers, he will simply be killed together.
So, in the third bow competition, he personally led the army. Wujia Province has the ability to shoot a hundred shots, and after his training, his army, in the bow side, is indeed very set. So, this one was won by him. Yue Su has always paid great attention to the bow, and in the end, in the era of cold weapons, the power of bows and arrows is very powerful. And the bow and arrow should be played, not everyone can, there are only two hundred archers who go out with Wujia Province, Yue Su wrote down their names, not only rewarded silver, but also praised Wujia Province.
The fourth is a horse battle, and there are more tools to test, such as riding, tactics, and riding. The riding skills and tactics trained by the Six Gates are already very good, but compared with Wujia Province, they are obviously inferior. Wujia Province seems to be a wizard of soldiers and military training, and the originally useless soldier ruffian, under his tutelage, in one month, riding skills, tactics, and riding have greatly improved, but the 200 people who participated in the competition were more elite than the 200 people who tested the arrows.
At the end of the competition, Yue Su applauded repeatedly. This time, he rewarded Wujia Province with two thousand taels of silver and praised it loudly.
The fifth is an infantry battle, which is a kind of contest in which the two sides are combined into one. In the first four games, Tie Qiu won two battles, Wu Jia Province won two battles, and Jin Chan and Tong Xuan did not win for a while. If the last game is still lost, that person will be discarded. These two are personally clothed in this round, and the purpose is very simple, to boost morale and win a game, otherwise they really can't afford to lose that person.
Tie Qiu was so hard that the two old friends were full of strength, and they couldn't bear to fight with them anymore, so they didn't fight in person. It's not that Tie Qiu has scheming, it's really a plan to take care of the righteousness of his buddies. Wu Jia Province doesn't seem to have any plans to restrain himself, he is trying to show his skills in front of Yue Su, and from this, this benevolent brother is not only arrogant, but also a real person. However, just when he wanted to put on the array, Jiang Jie walked to his side and said in a very low voice: "In this game, Xu will lose and win." ”
Jiang Jie's words, to Wu Jia Province to make a straight paste, isn't this a big confrontation, how can you win, you can't lose? The mystery of it, he doesn't understand a martial artist who can only fight, but Jiang Jie knows it.
Now it is obvious that Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, and Tong Xuan are all Yue Su's henchmen, and they have followed him for a long time, and the three of them have long been like brothers, even if in the last game, Tie Qi wins again, Jin Chan and Tong Xuan will not be anything, and the big guy will have a drink, and that's it. But you Wujia Province is an outsider after all, you show great skills, and it is true that Lord Yue values you, but what about those henchmen of Lord Yue. Things must not be done absolutely, and credit must not be taken by one person. Otherwise, it would not seem that Lord Yue's subordinates were too incompetent.
Although Jiang Jie didn't have as much kung fu as Wu Jia, he just stopped and left on his own. Fortunately, Wu Jia Province believes that Jiang Jie will never fool himself, so he must be for his own good, and he is not wearing armor at the moment, and he is not in front of the soldiers.
In this kind of contest, there are main generals present, and there is no main general formation, and the morale is completely incompatible. In the end, only Jin Chan and Tong Xuan were left to win or lose.
Yue Su is a clear-eyed person, and the situation on the field, he naturally knows that Wu Jia Province has the intention to let him, it seems that Jiang Jie told him, this is also to take care of his own decency, otherwise, in the five competitions, his three henchmen will only win two games, and they will not be deducted from the hat of cronyism.
"Jiang Jie is really a master, he understands everything." Yue Su smiled in his heart and continued to appreciate the contest between Jin Chan and Tong Xuan.
The final result of Jin Chan was to take the main force of the front army, and after a battle, he finally defeated Tong Xuan and won a rare victory.
The rewards and punishments are clear and naturally indispensable, and Tong Zhou's subordinates, in accordance with the original rules, ran from the back camp to the front camp three times round trip, so that they could show their shame and courage, and train more hard in the future. At the same time, Lord Yue also hinted that until next month, there will be a confrontation, and the next confrontation will be a contest of a combination of formations, horses, infantry, and bows, and whoever trains the army will have more combat effectiveness. This time, the rewards were doubled, and the rewards and punishments were doubled, with only one winner and three losers.
is also a military training, five competitions, but he didn't win a single one, and Tong Zhou really felt that his face was dull. The adults have promoted themselves to guerrilla generals, and after the success of the bandits, it should be no problem to get a staff general, but if you are so unlucky, how can you let the adults carry you.
Running from the back camp to the front camp, three laps back and forth, a total of 100 miles, tired and tired, you have to run a day with three watches, you must know that it is easy to go down the mountain, but it is difficult to walk in the mountain. This also depends on Yue Su's location is Gangshan, an easy road, if you go inside, you can walk more than four or five miles a day, which is already good.
Lost a day, tired and half dead, to the next day, Tong Zhou did not let the soldiers rest, is to strengthen hard training, seeing that General Tong played ruthlessly, the soldiers below did not dare to slack off. Don't be on his side, it's the same on Jin Cicada's side, after hard training day and night, his heart and eyes are more than iron and fat, so he understands a thing. Next month's big confrontation, whether it is to let Tong Xuan win, let Tie Qi win, no matter how you can't let that Wu Jia Province win.
If he was allowed to defeat all of Lord Yue's cronies in front of the three armies in a grand manner, what kind of face would the brothers of the family have to meet the adults, wouldn't they be disappointed by the cultivation of the adults.
Tie Qiu didn't think about it that much, but he was a very strong person. I thought to myself, the big guy is often big and coarse, and when I have a big confrontation next month, let you see whether I am thick or thin. Let you also understand that Uncle Tie can also lead the army.
For next month's big confrontation, Wu Jia Province certainly attaches great importance to it, Jiang Jie also came to see him, and told him that he must win, if he loses, he will not be able to get the reuse of Lord Yue. However, to win, you must win with skill, and you must not let your opponent lose too hard.
