Chapter 6 Kill if you say so
The strength of Zhao is one of the best among the six countries of the Central Plains, first of all, because the princes and nobles are good at raising soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe ministers and ministers of the upper class are proud of the large number of customers.
Of course, in addition to civil governance, the more important thing about the strength of the country lies in military governance and martial arts.
Military force is the foundation of striving for world hegemony.
Whether a country's military strength is strong or not can usually be seen from the number of chariots, the so-called country of thousands of times, the country of ten thousand times, talking about more than 1,000 chariots, more than 10,000 chariots.
In addition, there is a more fundamental factor, and that is the number of ordinary sergeants, that is, infantry, which countries call "men with armor".
The so-called "men with armor" are actually part-time soldiers. On weekdays, he is engaged in craftsman, production, or farming. Only when the smoke of the beacon fire is lit will he go into battle and become a member of the army system. This is also the reason why the strategy of all-for-all soldiers during this period was able to be implemented.
In addition to armor, all countries have trained real professional soldiers. In the state of Zhao, this kind of professional soldier was called a sharp soldier.
The selection criteria for SHARP are very high.
Zhao Guo, who is known as having a million armor, has less than 30,000 sharp soldiers, and he is an absolute elite.
The place where the screening and training is located is the military training center.
Zhao has nearly 100 military education centers, all of which are located in the open space outside the city, but there is only one exception.
This military training center is located in Handan City!
This military training center is so special because the sergeants trained here are called Iron Eagle Sharps!
He also has an independent name - Iron Eagle Tower!
The selection requirements of Iron Eagle Ruishi have been improved above Ruishi. It is required to carry a strong crossbow, wear heavy armor, hold a broad-bodied short sword, a fine iron dagger and a cowhide shield, and the total weight of a set of equipment is about 80 catties. It's the best of the best.
Iron Eagle Ruishi, looking all over the entire Zhao country, there are only more than a hundred people.
From a simple quantitative comparison, you can guess how strong the Iron Eagle Ruishi is.
The Iron Eagle Tower is not just a building, but a very large compound. Opening up such a compound in a bustling capital like Handan is difficult in itself. The terrain in the compound is complex, with rivers, ravines, forests, and mounds, all of which are reserved for the daily training of the Iron Eagle Warriors.
In the center of the compound is a three-story building, the Iron Eagle Tower.
At this time, in a large room in the building, there were dozens of Iron Eagle Sharps, sitting in the field, looking ahead.
Opposite them was a hand-to-hand combat instructor in a black overcoat.
The instructor did not instruct them on the skills of hand-to-hand combat as usual, but hung one painting after another on the wall in front of them, a dozen in total.
His movements were slow and careful. It seems that these are not paintings, but women who have been bought for a spring festival with a lot of money.
One of the Iron Eagle Warriors sitting at the front looked surprised at first, surprised by the unusual behavior of the hand-to-hand combat instructor. When he shifted his gaze to the dozen or so paintings hanging on the wall, his expression finally added a hint of shock.
He was struck by the material of the canvas.
It's not animal skins, it's silk.
He knew the price and rarity of the silk, except for King Wen and a few generals and nobles, no one used it. And now, there are more than a dozen at once!
The Iron Eagle was close, and a colleague behind him was a little farther away, but his face was even more startled because he saw what was being shown on the canvas.
Several paintings are sequential and speak of the same thing.
The two duel.
Among them, the side that fights for the advantage is dressed in the uniform of Zhao Guotong's army, and his figure is powerful; The other party has been passively beaten, he looks ordinary, has no expression, his figure is also not exaggerated, and there is nothing on his body that can be remembered.
Gradually, everyone's attention focused on the content of the canvas.
Because this seemingly ordinary young man won the battle at the last moment.
The painter's painting skills are very superb, not only showing the appearance and movements of the two people vividly, but even the shooting points, sequences, and results of the two are marked with different brushstrokes. It can be seen that the painter not only understands painting, but also understands martial arts, and also has a very delicate observation and superb expressive ability.
Because of this, all the Iron Eagle Ruishi who looked at the canvas went from calm to surprised and then shocked. From beginning to end, not a word.
Their surprise and shock came from the same question.
Why did that young man who looked so ordinary win?
None of the Iron Eagle Warriors present could figure it out.
A few people left their seats and came to the canvas to look up close, their noses pressed against the canvas; A few sat in place with their eyes closed in contemplation; The rest all looked at the hand-to-hand instructor, and everyone was silent without exception.
They all knew the man in the painting who was dressed in the uniform of the commander - Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan's physical fitness may not be as good as the Iron Eagle Rui Shi present, but after using his mental ability, he is stronger than them.
On the contrary, this ordinary young man's physical fitness is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
In this war-torn Warring States era, a hundred flashy skills are not as useful as thirty parts of strength and speed. On the battlefield, accidents are most likely to occur, and those who can survive are those who have great strength and speed and can resist beatings.
But he didn't die, and with a violent and direct punch, he broke all the ribs of Zhao Yuan, who was recognized as the strongest man in the army.
It's unbelievable.
Naturally, many of the Iron Eagle Warriors began to doubt the veracity of the events depicted on the canvas.
They looked at the dozen or so drawings over and over again.
Gradually, there was a whispered discussion in the room.
ā¦ā¦
The hand-to-hand general cleared his throat, and there was a sudden silence below.
He began to lecture, but the content of what he said was not the person in the painting, but still the painting.
"Silk is also called silk book, silk book or plain book, which can be preserved for a very long time, and is the most valuable canvas. The value of each silk scroll is equivalent to all the equipment on your body! He said, then added, "Including your crossbows!" ā
"That's the first thing I want to say."
"The second thing is that these dozen or so paintings were all created by Shi Xia."
"After telling you these two things, I don't think there is any need to discuss the authenticity of the scroll."
Hearing the name Shi Xia, there was another low discussion below.
Natsu is the name of the woman who painted in the luxury carriage. Like musicians, painters can also have the word "teacher" in front of their name to indicate the level of their master.
Shi Xia is the most famous painter in Zhao State, and she is also an outstanding beauty. Her paintings are completely different from the style of hazy impressionism, she paints extremely fast, and is known for her realism, and has the reputation of "painting in the mirror, painting in the mirror".
The hand-to-hand combat instructor's voice was very cold, and there was merciless mockery in his tone, as if the people sitting below were not the most elite soldiers of Zhao State, but a group of rookies.
"The High Priest commanded that from now on all questions concerning these dozen paintings, and the battles shown in the scrolls, could only be discussed in this house. After leaving this room, it's top secret. ā
"Why is the top secret still being shown to you? The purpose, of course, is to knock you out. ā
He pointed his finger at the young man's fist on the screen: "The focus of your attention should be on this ordinary young man's fist." ā
"The position of each of his punches, the choice of angles of his punches, the control of his body balance, these are the main points of observation."
"You have done a good job in the military education subjects on weekdays, and all kinds of high-intensity hand-to-hand combat and weight-bearing attacks can reach more than twice the strength of ordinary sharps. Looks like a good deal. I'd love to know, though. The hand-to-hand combat instructor changed his words, "If you face this young man's fist, can you survive?" ā
Listening to the hand-to-hand combat instructor in black clothes, all the Iron Eagle Sharps fell into deep thought.
This young man's physical fitness is not even half of theirs, but the fists on the screen make people feel irresistible.
That's right, he was indeed pressed and beaten by Zhao Yuan, but in this kind of disadvantage that a fool can see, he can also give his fist power to Zhao Yuan's body, which is a miracle in itself.
In the audience, a burly man raised his hand and signaled: "I have a question, it's about the last painting." ā
"Speak."
"I suspect the painting is a fake."
The hand-to-hand combat instructor's eyebrows raised: "Regarding the question of the authenticity of the picture scroll, I don't want to explain it a second time." ā
"I understand, I don't doubt the nobility of the silk, nor do I doubt Shi Xia's painting skills, I just doubt that Commander Zhao Yuan has released water? It is very likely that he is just training and competing with juniors. I thought, maybe I can ask Commander Zhao Yuan to come over in person and explain? This expedition to Yan counts the days, and he should be back soon. "Also, I want to know the background of this fight." ā
He thought for a moment and then continued, "After all, it's too hard for us to believe that this punch is so powerful. ā
Hearing what he said, all the Iron Eagle Ruishi present nodded secretly, they all agreed with this point of view, it must have been Zhao Yuan who released the water.
The hand-to-hand combat instructor snorted coldly and said, "The background of the competition is a duel between two people. ā
"Commander Zhao Yuan is indeed back."
"But it's not people who come back, it's corpses."
When they heard the word corpse, all the Iron Eagle Warriors were shocked.
Commander Zhao Yuan is dead!
The hand-to-hand instructor ignored their shock and continued to add: "I was killed by this punch." ā
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
The Iron Eagle Warrior in the house was still discussing in a low voice, but the hand-to-hand combat instructor had already walked out of the door. Dressed in a black smock, he walked towards the edge of the courtyard, where a luxury carriage was parked.
The black-clothed hand-to-hand combat instructor saluted the carriage, but it didn't taste too flattering: "All the picture scrolls have been posted." ā
After that, there was silence.
In the middle of the night, a man's question suddenly came from the luxury carriage: "Nie Liang, what do you think of the last punch?" ā
An inexplicable sentence that seemed unrelated, but the black-clothed instructor Nie Liang knew very well what Zhao Hao was referring to in the luxury carriage. He thought for a moment and replied, "As far as I can see, the angle of that punch is very similar to the Mo family's boxing method, but it is much more powerful. There is only one possibility, and that is that this person has the heart of a second-order ink maker. However, having the heart of a second-order ink artist is an incredible thing in itself. ā
"Not only that, but I also saw a suspected second-order mechanism in that border village." Zhao Hao said, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Nie Liang was dumbfounded, as if this information had touched him much more than boxing.
Zhao Hao pondered for a long time, and then asked: "Nie Liang, if you are given the same physical fitness as that ordinary young man, can you make such a punch?" ā
"I can't fight." Nie Liang, the black-clothed instructor, said without hesitation, and then he sneered, "But, can you?" Maybe you're hiding in this wagon, and you can really make such a punch. ā
Ma Fujun Zhao Hao was silent for a while, and then said in an emotional tone:
"Perhaps, even if I was in the carriage, I wouldn't be able to punch like that."
There was silence again. After just a few words, there were several pauses in the middle, and after a while, Zhao Hao suddenly asked: "I'm thinking, should I kill such a person." ā
"Kill or not, it's not a matter of General Zhao Hao's words?" Nie Liang said.
"Many people think that he should be kept, but I still stick to my idea, he should be killed!"
"This is actually a very simple question of military morale." Zhao Hao said, "A person from a border village killed the outstanding generals of Zhao State, and it is an attitude to kill or not to kill. Unless this young man can show his extraordinary contribution, which is large enough to offset the excellent generals he has killed in the Zhao State. ā
"Everything must be considered from the perspective of national interests, this is the idea that I insist on."
"You are a general, you will kill if you say so." Nie Liang still responded coldly. (To be continued.) )
