Chapter 61: Survival of the Fittest
The large-scale military exercises of Liaodong Town and Jinyiwei were carried out as scheduled three days later, and the huge school field was surrounded by soldiers, and there were a few benches on the simple stands, and the snow was too deep, and the surface of the benches was almost half a foot higher than the snow surface.
At the end of the hour, Zhang Ru, the governor of the Nine Sides, and the chief soldier of Liaodong, Gui Qian, came together, and behind the two, they were followed by a team of brocade guards and the chief soldier's guard.
Seeing the simple stands, Zhang Ru sat down without frowning, and the snow poured into the mouth of his boots, which would soon melt with his body temperature, but he didn't realize it.
Gu Qian frowned, but seeing that Zhang Ru didn't say a word, his face was full of solemnity, and he didn't want to be angry with the people in Liaodong Town.
The two sat down, the war drums said to be made of human skin made a clanging sound, the sound gradually changed from slow to rapid, and a group of Liaodong Town soldiers in leather armor were led by a tall man, and walked out of the Liaodong army with steady steps.
The Jinyi guards, who were already standing on the west side of the school field, did not react at all, but their eyes were all looking at Zhang Ru in the stands.
I saw Zhang Ru nodding slightly, and the three hundred brocade guards swept through the snow, and in a few breaths, except for a neat row of footprints on the uncleared snow, even the sound of footsteps was minimal. In a flash, the brocade guard wearing a flying fish robe was already standing in front of the Liaodong Army.
It seems that Shang Wuqian is secretly speechless, no wonder Zhang Ru has such a big confidence, and he feels that the Jinyi Wei under him is not the second ancestor of the gang of bastards in the capital who are waiting for death at all.
After the two sides lined up, due to the heavy snow blocking the road, and in order to test the real combat ability of the soldiers on both sides, the snow on the school field was not cleared at all, so it could only be an infantry battle.
The snow was so thick that it reached the knees as soon as you stepped down, and this was the school yard of Quang Ninh Left Guard, which had never been cleaned.
There was a simple phalanx on the side of Liaodong Town, but the distance between the soldiers was not the same, and some of the robes that were used to matching on the battlefield were close together. Everyone tensed their nerves and wanted to wait for Jinyiwei to strike first.
In a situation where both parties do not know each other, such a strategy is undoubtedly the safest and safest.
On the other hand, Jinyiwei has already changed formations.
A group of three forms a simple plum blossom array, but this formation is different from the traditional plum blossom array, because the brocade guards are all two-handed blades.
In their left hand, they hold the embroidered spring knife, which is the symbol of the brocade guard, but in their right hand is an iron pimple shaped like a hook. Although the tip of the iron pimple had been smoothed out for this military exercise, those soldiers in Liaodong Town did not dare to underestimate this thing at all.
"Go to war!"
The atmosphere of the confrontation was too stagnant, and it also made Gu Qian in the stands a little uncontrollable, he didn't want to see his subordinates overwhelmed by Zhang Ru's three hundred brocade guards. Not to mention that some of the three hundred people were drawn from the Qianhu in Liaodong, even if all of them were the elites brought by Zhang Ru from the Shuntian Mansion, as a border commander, Qian Qian did not want his soldiers to be afraid.
With his loud shout, the soldiers in Liaodong Town finally moved.
They pushed their feet sideways forward, trying their best to squeeze the snow out of their feet so that the robes behind them could move.
Everyone didn't dare to take it lightly, because they didn't want to lose face as soldiers in the border towns of eastern Liaodong.
Yes, this battle was not only the resistance of the border army dissatisfied with Zhang Ru, but also the contest between the border army and the Beijing army. The success or failure of this battle indicates whether the border army will be able to raise its head in the White Tiger Festival Hall in the future.
"Kill!"
The big man in the front line took the lead in speeding up, and the Liaodong border army that followed him immediately dragged his sword.
The blades on both sides are all unsharpened, Rao is so, if these blades really hit people, they can still hurt people.
Jin Yiwei's side was led by Yang Tinghe, he was in the center, and there were six groups of eighteen people around him who followed closely.
I saw Yang Tinghe suddenly raise the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and the Jinyi Guard, who was slowly moving his steps, suddenly accelerated his speed, and the first to bear the brunt was Fan Tong, who didn't care.
This kid hasn't fought for a long time, with Zhang Ru pressing, he has always had itchy hands but can't find someone to fight. finally bullied a few soldiers from Liaodong Town in the General Soldier's Mansion, and turned around and let Zhang Ru scold him.
Now, he finally has an outlet for his anger.
Like a hungry tiger pounced, he threw off the two arrayed robes and pounced on the enemy, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand was slashed, and the Liaodong army that had arrived in front of him but did not dare to fight him for the time being flew out.
The two brothers behind him, who had no formation cover, were overwhelmed by the other Liaodong soldiers.
Fortunately, Yang Tinghe had already expected that Fan Tong would be more than defeated, so he quickly commanded three groups of Jinyi guards to rush forward and successfully rescue the two Jinyi guards who fell in the snow.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qian couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the commander still underestimates our Liaodong Army, and the old man looks at those brocade guards, and it's not very good!" ”
Zhang Ru said very calmly: "The chief soldier might as well watch it." ”
The disadvantage that appeared just now did not make the Jinyi Guards mess up, Yang Tinghe looked serious, and when the two Jinyi Guards were rescued, he no longer looked over there, but looked at the overall situation.
At this time, there were three to five Liaodong soldiers besieging each Jinyi Guard's battle array, and almost all of the Jinyi Guards had already joined the battle except for his side.
Fan Tong, who took the lead, even broke up a lot of people, and directly found the most powerful man on the other side and handed it over.
Fan Tong is an apprentice taught by Fan Wuyi, a master in the world, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with that man, but Fan Tong doesn't seem to want to settle the battle too quickly, so he keeps dragging that man.
When the order could not be given, the Liaodong soldiers fought separately, but the man was in a hurry.
However, the idiot in front of him, who was more burly than himself, was still an iron steamed bun, and when he fought against him, he had clearly noticed that the opponent's strength was much greater than his own. The reason why more than a dozen moves can not fall behind seems to be deliberately done by the other party.
"Ahh
A Liaodong soldier stepped into the knee-high snow, and before his leg could be pulled out, the bridge of his nose was sore, and tears came out.
This has nothing to do with whether he is a man or not, it is normal for his nose to be beaten and tears to come out involuntarily.
His voice has caused undesirable effects.
After hearing his shout, the two Liaodong soldiers who were fighting a hot battle not far behind him looked back while seeing the move.
This wait-and-see gave the Jinyi guards a chance, and as soon as the positions of the three Jinyi guards who were marching in formation were reversed, they arrived in front of them in an instant. When they were sure that the brother behind them was okay and turned their heads, what they saw was an oncoming fist.
This is the internal military exercise of the Ming army, and it is naturally impossible to kill people, and Jin Yiwei has always believed that fists are greater than everything, and in the case of not being able to kill, he naturally still feels that fists are the most reliable.
The two of them squatted on the ground with their noses covered, temporarily losing their ability to fight, and before the three brocade guards had time to be happy, they felt that their eyes were dark.
It turned out that while they took advantage of the unpreparedness to kill the two of them, probably because they were too happy, none of the three of them were vigilant, and someone on the left side had already come to pick up the bargain.
There was a hot fight below, but standing in the stands, you can clearly see which is better and which is worse.
The number of people who fell on Jinyiwei's side was almost the same as that of Liaodong soldiers, but most of the people who fell in Jinyiwei were not lightly injured. On the other hand, in Liaodong Town, except for one or two who were really blackmailed by Jinyi Wei, the others were either covering their noses or covering their calves.
Moreover, there were many people who fell on the Jinyi Guard's side, but the formation was not chaotic.
From above, they are still a three-person plum blossom array, but the big plum blossom array composed of this small plum blossom array is much more sparse than at the beginning.
"You trained it?" Gu Qian looked down dumbfounded, as a veteran of the battlefield, he knew that the Liaodong Army was defeated in this battle.
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Among the hundred people I brought, more than a dozen were trained by me, and the rest were trained by Jinyiwei." As for the two hundred brothers of the Liaodong Thousand Households, the training time has not been a few days. ”
Gu Qian lost his voice and said: "While killing the enemy, you have to return the wounded robe, how did you do this." ”
Zhang Ru said: "As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do." ”
"No need to fight, the Liaodong Army is defeated." Humble and convincing.
Zhang Ru waved his hand: "Since the First World War has begun, it will definitely not work if it is not finished." Sometimes not showing your strength may make people feel like a bully. That's how I am to the Tatars, Chief Soldier, don't you say? ”
Qian Qian, who always felt that Zhang Ru's words meant something, smiled dryly: "Since the commander said that he wants to finish the fight, let them finish the fight!" ”
Zhang Ru continued to watch the battle without distraction, but Mu Qian had mixed feelings in his heart.
Guangningwei, who was quite complacent, was his henchman, but Zhang Ru used the recruits who had been trained for only a few days and a group of Shuntianfu Jinyi guards who everyone in the Ming Dynasty thought were vulnerable. And this is the result of Zhang Ru's strict prohibition on killing, if he can kill people, Wu Qian can completely conclude that on the same occasion and the same number of people, his Liaodong army will be vulnerable.
He suddenly remembered the superstition he had received in Jingzhong only yesterday, and white sweat broke out on his back.
At the end of a small military exercise, Wu Qian still did not come back to his senses, and it was not until Zhang Ru called him a few times that he stood up and said some words of encouragement.
The general soldier was absent-minded, and Zhang Ru had no choice but to act on his behalf: "Brothers, you should have seen the combat effectiveness of Jinyiwei." Now, which of you still opposes Zhang's suggestion? The Liaodong Army is still a battle-hardened force, but it is so vulnerable, let me ask the army of other guards in the Ming Dynasty, how much can the combat effectiveness be?
In this world, survival of the fittest, those who eat grass are destined to be tortured and killed by those who eat meat. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles ****. Whether you want to be a wolf that eats meat or a **** dog, you decide for yourself.
Tomorrow's special training camp will start, and you will voluntarily sign up for a period of three days. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ru left the school grounds, ignoring Wu Qian, who was still in a daze.
