Chapter 444: Heavy Snow Drill

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and outside the city of Handan, an army of red armor was running through the snow with thick snow.

The soldiers who were running exhaled white steam from their mouths, and their cheeks were a little red from the long time they had been exercising in the snow.

These soldiers were all dressed in armor as elaborate as the Dragoons and Feather Guards, but the feathers on their helmets were snow-white.

The team of 2,000 people ran fast in the snow, leaving only one row.

Riding a Saibei horse, Deng Zhance walked on the side of the team, shouting loudly: "Soldiers, hurry up, you have to adapt to fighting in any environment, if even a heavy snow can stump you, and then you go to the battlefield, how can Your Highness tell the world that you are the tiger guard of the Luoyang Army?" ”

In the open field, only Deng Zhan's voice echoed, and the two thousand tiger guards ran around, and no one responded to Deng Zhan's shout. However, from their eyes, they can see a little more determination and perseverance.

Riding a snow-white war horse, Liu Wei led Yuan Shao and the generals of the Luoyang Army and the Jizhou Army in Handan City to watch Deng Zhan train the Tiger Benwei in the snow.

"Your Highness, the trapping camp has arrived!" Everyone was looking at the tiger guards running in the snow, and there was a sound of neat footsteps in the city, Lu Bu turned his head to look at the city, and saw that an army of less than a thousand people was rapidly advancing towards the city gate, and hurriedly rode his horse to Liu Wei's recent past, and hugged his fists and reported a word.

Turning his head to look at Lu Bu, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Lu Bu: "General Gao Shun has trained his troops well, and the soldiers in the camp he trained are all ten thousand enemies. This king's tiger guard is a newly built army, and it will not be an opponent trapped in the camp! ”

"The officers and men of the Luoyang Army are all brave, and the camp under the command of the last general is just a rabble, how dare they compare with the Luoyang Army Tiger Benwei!" Lu Bu rode on horseback, clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Wei very humbly: "Your Highness wants to trap the camp and practice with the Tiger Benwei outside the city, and today's trapping camp is just to make a sparring partner for the Tiger Benwei." ”

"General Lu is too humble!" The corners of his mouth pulled up an indifferent smile, Liu Wei then turned his head to look at Deng Zhan, who was training with the Tiger Ben Guards, and raised an arm high towards Deng Zhan.

Douma glanced back and saw Liu Wei raise his arm, Deng Zhan then raised his hand high and shouted to the Tiger Ben guards: "Stop, line up!" ”

With Deng Zhan's order, the two thousand tiger guards immediately stopped their pace and quickly formed a formation in the snow.

But in an instant, there was a small phalanx in the snowy snow.

This square array is lined up neatly, and no matter what angle you look at, the whole array looks as if it has been cut with a knife, boxy, as beautiful as a piece of red tofu in the snow.

The two thousand Tiger Ben Guards were all the best selected by Deng Zhan from the Luoyang Army. All the soldiers are warriors who have made meritorious achievements on the battlefield and are brave.

The snowflakes fluttered in the wind and fell on the tiger guards who stood straight in the snow, and soon a small white snow flakes gathered on the big red armor worn by the soldiers.

All the tiger guards were as straight as sculptures, and the cold wind was biting, but not a single person in the queue moved slightly.

The array of the Tiger Ben Guard had just been set up, and the trapping camp that ran along the street to the city gate had already arrived outside the city, and it was Gao Shun who trained the trapping camp to lead this team.

"Trap the camp, line up!" Out of the city gate, Gao Shun raised his arm, and then pressed his arm down sharply, shouting.

As soon as Gao Shun's shout fell, the seven hundred soldiers who had fallen into the camp shouted in unison, and quickly ran to the snow opposite the tiger guard, and soon lined up in the same neat queue.

Under Lu Bu's command, there were nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, except for more than 1,000 old and weak soldiers who were used to transport heavy loads, the rest were strong. Especially in this camp, they are all tigers with their backs on their backs, and they go straight to that station, which is as solid as an iron tower.

The trapped camp lined up in formation, Deng Zhan and Gao Shun glanced at each other from a distance, and then the two of them lifted the reins at the same time and rode towards the city gate.

"Your Highness, Tiger Benwei can participate in the war!" Before Liu Wei approached, Deng Zhan clasped his fists with both hands and reported to Liu Wei first.

Before Deng Zhan's words fell, Gao Shun also raised his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the trapping camp is ready to stop!" ”

"Good!" Nodding at the two, Liu Wei waved his hand at them and said to them, "The two generals can start the drill!" ”

"No!" The two of them clenched their fists, responded in unison, turned around their horses, and returned to their camps.

The generals standing behind Liu Wei straightened their necks one by one and looked forward to the two teams lined up in front of each other.

The soldiers of the Tiger Benwei stood straight and upright one by one, holding the distributed rectangular shield and the wooden knife used in the drill.

The team of 2,000 people was so quiet that they couldn't even hear a cough.

And the trapped camp opposite them, after the soldiers lined up in formation, they were all happy like wild wolves, and many even screamed, beating the shield in their hands with wooden swords, and launched a provocation to the tiger guards on the opposite side, as if they couldn't wait to rush forward and have a good time.

The generals who followed Liu Wei out of the city also rode on horseback, quietly waiting to see which of the two teams was more courageous.

In the distance, Liu Wei saw Deng Zhan and Gao Shun raise their arms at the same time, and at the same time as the two raised their arms, an officer walked out of the two phalanxes at the same time.

The officers who walked out of the Tiger Benwei array, holding a large rectangular shield and carrying a wooden knife, stood straight in the snow out of the array, looking at the officers who came out of the array trapped in the opposite camp.

The officer who walked out of the camp was not as straight and dignified as the Tiger Benwei officer. He swayed as he walked, but he looked a little sluggish.

With every two steps forward, the trapping officer would turn around, raise his shield and wooden sword aloft, and let out a shout at the trapping array.

When he shouted, the soldiers in the array would be very excited to knock the shield with their wooden swords and shout along with him.

The two teams were still and moving, and the soldiers watched as the two officers who came out of their respective arrays approached closer and closer.

When the two officers were only five or six paces from each other, they stopped and saluted each other with fists.

"Hit!" Deng Zhan and Gao Shun, who were standing on the side of their respective phalanxes, shouted in unison when the two of them had finished saluting.

With the order of the two, the Tiger Benwei officer immediately raised the long shield in front of him, and the officer who was trapped in the camp, holding a wooden sword, let out a strange scream, and pounced on the Tiger Benwei officer.

The two sides were only five or six paces away, and although the snow under their feet was knee-high, it did not interfere much with the charge of the officers of the trapped camp. In an instant, he rushed in front of the Tiger Guard, roared, jumped forward, picked up his long sword, and slashed at the big shield held by the Tiger Guard.

As soon as the trapping camp officer jumped up, the Tiger Benwei officer twisted his body, and he didn't use a big shield to block the long sword chopped by the other party, and while retreating to the side, the wooden knife in his hand was immediately swung out and swept towards the back waist of the trapping camp officer.

If it was an ordinary person, it would be impossible to avoid the sword that swept towards the waist in the case of jumping in the air. But the officer in the camp was not an ordinary soldier after all, when the blade of the wooden knife was about to cut to his waist, he twisted his waist in the air, avoided the knife, rolled on the ground, the big shield was facing upward, and the wooden sword in his hand swept flat against the snow to the next three roads of the Tiger Benwei officer.

Most of the generals who followed Liu Wei out of the city were military generals, and watching the fight between the two, the generals frowned one by one, their faces full of solemnity. Especially the generals of the Jizhou Army, when they watched the two people fight, their expressions showed a bit of admiration.

The two are skilled in martial arts, and every move and style is to directly take the opponent's vital point, without any fancy at all. If all the officers and men in the army have such martial arts, I am afraid that an army of more than 1,000 people can resist more than 10,000 people.

"Your Majesty, if the sergeants are like this, why worry that Gongsun Chan will not be broken?" Looking at the two inextricable officers fighting in the snow, wrapped in thick mink, Yuan Shao, who was standing beside Liu Bian, said to Liu Bian: "I just don't know what if the two armies fight? ”

"Today is a drill between the two armies, and what this king wants to see is a melee!" Looking at the two officers who were fighting in the snow, Liu Wei pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, raised an arm, and waved towards Deng Zhan and Gao Shun.

Deng Zhan and Gao Shun, who had been paying attention to Liu Wei's movements, saw him waving his arm, and at the same time raised one hand and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the two, the two officers who were killing Xing had no choice but to stop the movements of their hands, jumped back one after another, saluted each other with their fists, and returned to the array.

"Seven hundred people are out of line!" When the officer returned to the array, Deng Zhan shouted again.

With his order, the seven hundred tiger guards immediately walked out of the array with neat steps.

"Meet the enemy!" When the seven hundred tiger guards walked out of the array, Gao Shun on the opposite side also shouted loudly.

Gao Shun's shout fell, and the seven hundred soldiers who had already waited for the impatient trap camp soldiers were screaming strangely, beating their shields vigorously with wooden swords, and marching forward in a fairly neat line.

The solo battle between Hu Benwei and the officers of the trapping camp just now had opened the eyes of everyone watching the battle, and when the two teams of seven hundred people slowly moved forward, all the generals present were nervous, and their palms were oozing beads of sweat.

Looking at the two slowly advancing teams, Liu Wei always had a feeling that compared with the trapped camp, Hu Benwei seemed to be missing something, but for a while, he couldn't understand what was missing.

Just when Liu Wei looked at the two teams, frowning and thinking about what the Tiger Benwei lacked, the two teams that had advanced to each other were very close to each other, and at the same time there was a burst of shouting and killing, and the soldiers on both sides shouted, waved their shields and wooden weapons, and pounced on each other.
