Chapter 45: The Trial of Avoiding Thorns
It's a shame to say.
Xu Yongzhi was a little worried when he entered this black door.
Although he traveled north and south, and there were many bad people's lives in his hands, this son actually felt a sense of insignificance for the first time.
The arrogant boss of the company arrived in the mayor's living room and was polite.
When ordinary people are in the midst of the violent machine, they will suddenly have a slight dizziness.
You can scold cats at home, criticize children, and scold secretaries at work, which is fake power.
The black lacquer gate and the spear armor are the real power.
When the Southern Tang army was opposite Xu Yongzhi, he was never afraid.
But when he wanted to join the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, there was a subtle change in his heart.
This is the kind of humility of mortals in front of power.
You're here, and you're nobody.
No, to be exact, you're nothing.
The veteran who was the secretary in front of the door said well, when you go in, you are not alone at all.
"Alright, I'm ready, I'm a nail in a huge palace now." Xu Yongzhi muttered to himself.
When the yamen entered, there was a gatehouse and a stove, and several people were chatting affectionately, and tea was boiling in an iron kettle.
"Sir!" Xu Yongzhi greeted.
Everyone stopped chatting and suddenly put on a cold face.
Only one big fat man replied:
"Coming to join the army?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Xu Jin."
The big fat man took the letter in his hand and looked at it.
"Xu towel?"
"The secretary made a mistake."
"That can't be helped, you're going to call this from today. Towel, I am the quartermaster here, my name is Wang Daneng, and the people here call me Wang Jiaotou. Wang Daneng looked kind, and when he opened his mouth, he looked like he had a big package.
"Good teacher."
"Hey, okay, good."
Wang Daneng took Xu Yongzhi into the house and chose two clothes for him.
"It's old."
"The new clothes are only issued when they are reviewed, and they are all old clothes for training."
"It's not going to be a dead man's cross."
"What, are you taboo? If you are taboo about the dead, don't go into this buddy. ”
"Ah...... This ......"
Wang Daneng was also a little happy when he saw Xu Yongzhi's embarrassed appearance.
"Rest assured, towels."
"We all picked cleaner dead people's recycling uniforms, we don't want bloody ones, and we've all washed them."
"How can there be a relatively clean dead man! Isn't it all blood? ”
"No, there are people who freeze to death, and those who freeze to death are the cleanest and not sick. We do not collect the uniforms of sick and dead soldiers. ”
"Wang Jiaotou ......"
"It's cruel, isn't it?"
"Nope." Xu Yongzhi said listlessly.
"Answer me out loud!"
"No, Leader!"
"Good."
"Change your clothes now," Wang Daneng looked at Xu Yongzhi.
Xu Yongzhi took off his coat and had to wear a uniform.
"Take it off, take it off."
"I don't need underwear."
"Less nonsense, you have to see if you're a man or a woman."
"You can see this bare shoulder."
"That's not necessarily, take it off!" Wang Daneng suddenly became serious.
Xu Yongzhi took off his clothes in shame.
Wang Daneng looked at it: "Well, male." ”
"Of course."
"In this barracks, there are always strange things, you say that you are a man, if you are really a woman, a woman disguised as a man and entered the barracks, and turned around and became pregnant with a big belly, am I not responsible?"
"Are you thinking too much, Wang Jiaotou, which woman is so blind!"
"Wasn't there a Mulan in ancient times?"
“……”
"Civilian clothes and luggage are thrown into the warehouse, the box is yours, if you are on vacation or have a task, you can come and change into civilian clothes." Wang Daneng locked the storeroom.
Wang Daneng took a large wooden basin.
"This basin is for you, everyone must have a basin, and you must wash your face and feet every day, so that people can go further. If you lose it, you have to buy it yourself, and the money will be deducted from your salary. ”
"This is a mat, a quilt and a mattress, this one is a distribution, no money."
Rather thin futon.
"Can't you use your own?"
"If you use your own, won't it become a craft competition for the wives and daughters-in-law of each family? All have to use this! ”
"Yes."
"Here are thirty willow branches and salt for this month to clean your teeth."
"Sect leader, use it once in the morning and once in the evening, shouldn't it be sixty?"
"Stupid, the willow branch has two ends!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, this salt is coarse salt, if you take it out and sell it, people will get sick if you eat it, don't think about it."
"Yes!"
"Don't you even ask how much you are paid?"
"Don't ask, I don't really care about it."
"You didn't come to the army for food?"
"It's not."
"Don't talk to the chief or the head for a while, you'll be beaten by them."
"So what should I say?"
"You should ...... Forget it, I won't teach you anymore, you will be beaten up for anything. ”
"Thank you, Sect Leader Wang."
"You are in the first box, the first and the second capital, and the second is a real meritorious team, and you are the elite of the Great Zhou."
"Great."
"I'll take you to see Lei Dutou."
The soldiers on the school field are practicing, some are running, some are lifting weights, and some are learning to wear armor, which is no different from most military camps.
The soldiers of the second capital were running, and Lei Song, the head of the capital, was pacing and watching them with his hands behind his back, with a bamboo whistle hanging on his chest.
"Dutou, this is the newly replenished recruit Xu Towel, and there are no thorns yet."
"Wang Daneng, you go and find him a bunk in our barracks, towels, you put down your luggage and come over."
"Yes."
Wang Daneng found a bed for Xu Yongzhi, and went to get busy himself, Xu Yong trotted all the way and ran to the school field.
"The second one is all there, assemble!"
The soldiers stood together in a kind of urgent broken step, in a total of dead columns, each column with the large one in front and the small one in the back.
"Sanshi Chang Xing Dayun," Lei Song said, "This soldier's name is Xu Towel, starting today, it will be incorporated into your Shi!" ”
"Yes."
Lei Song looked at Xu Yongzhi, "Let's have lunch first, finish the tattoo, rest in the afternoon, and start training tomorrow!" ”
"Report!"
"Speak!"
Xu Yongzhi said: "Xu Jin, please avoid stabbing! ”
"What?"
Xing Dayun's face was full of anger all of a sudden.
Looking at all the soldiers in the capital, they all seemed to be full of annoyance.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xu Yongzhi looked at everyone and thought to himself, but then he thought about it, the veteran said that he could be exempted from stabbing, so I would apply for a stabbing exemption.
"Xu Jin, apply for a thorn-free application!"
"You kid, do you know how much trouble you're into?"
"I don't know, sir!"
"It's called the chief, and the head is the chief."
"I don't know, what's long!"
"All of them will be beaten with twenty sticks because you're going to be beaten!"
"I'm sorry, whatever!"
"Dutou, the recruit doesn't understand the rules, I hope you can ask him again." Lao Xing said.
Most of the time, the recruits will retire here, and if you're going to be in a group, it's best not to offend everyone inside.
Of course, there are also some stunned young people who insist on avoiding stabbing, and Shi Chang will first fight with him, beat him with a falling flower, and then obediently go to be stabbed.
It is strange that today's Lei Dutou did not stop this matter.
"Lao Xing, why are you so ignorant, the ancestral family law, if someone asks for exemption from stabbing, then the procedure must be implemented." Lei Song gathered all of them with a little pride.
"It's all there!"
"Here!"
"Perform the no-stab procedure!"
"Yes!"
The team jogged all the way into the arsenal.
When they came out again after a while, everyone was holding a big stick.
"Give a rookie!"
Lao Xing snorted angrily and stuffed a rod into Xu Yongzhi's hand.
Lei Song also took one himself.
"Come on!"
"What's coming?"
"Hit me!"
"Sir, I don't dare!"
"No kidding, the stab-free procedure is to compete."
"How?"
"You, the one who beat all of us."
“……”
"Formation!"
"Hah!"
Ninety people formed a circle.
One all, one hundred.
Ninety of those who were cut off from the standing guard and the cooking class.
Even the head of the capital, exactly ninety-one.
One against ninety-one.
"Because of you, after we defeat you, everyone will be punished with twenty sticks, and if we kill you, we will be punished by a hundred." Lei Song exalted his identity, stood outside the circle, and said.
"What if I win?" Xu Yongzhi asked.
"It's never happened in history, so I don't know what to do." Lei Song said.
"Then, I'll win once!" Xu Yongzhi's eyes flashed.
"It's crazy!" Lao Xing made a noise, and his nine soldiers took the lead in killing him.
Later Zhou advocated guns and sticks, since ancient times, in fact, they are all one, the stick method is the marksmanship, the big pole is the long gun, and the stick is the short gun.
Usually training, especially when sparring, most of them use sticks.
The custom of practicing formations or using guns in wartime was carried forward in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The spear and stick leaders of the forbidden army are generally the best people in martial arts.
Lao Xing is an excellent leader in the second, he has a good gun and a stick, and he is also a good trainer, but Lao Xing belongs to the kind of chief who loves stupid people.
Those who could not read, had rough arms, had a big head, and had a square face, were especially valued by him.
Anyone who is handsome, white, and literate will suffer a lot from him.
Xing Dayun has a simple theory, that is, people in the city are unreliable.
He liked the soldiers in the village.
If a merchant's child is recruited at any time, it will be bad luck for the child to be handed over to him.
"Profiteers!"
In fact, people like Lao Xing are not bad, but their imagination is relatively limited.
Overall, there are no bad guys in the whole second, they are just simple-minded.
Lao Xing is a soldier king, not to mention other soldiers, even other chiefs will give him three points, so everyone unanimously did not move, waiting for Lao Xing to beat the rookie first.
Originally, if you can't surrender your own soldiers, then don't do it.
Lao Xing held the stick in both hands, pulled the front handle, and pushed the back handle, which was a thrust.
This is a ruthless move, although there is no spearhead, this point in the chest will be dead.
Xu Yongzhi shouted "good", and lifted the rod from the bottom to the top, this rod occupied the midline between the two, and with a slight stroke, the stick was crooked.
Lao Xing saw that this stick made him sophisticated, and knew that Xu Yongzhi had practiced, so he quickly raised his back hand, pushed his front hand, and smashed Xu Yongzhi's front hand with a fast and small movement.
It's a clever move.
Good guns have been in the army since ancient times.
When Xu Yongzhi beat Ge Laodao before, the swords in Ge Laodao's sword hall were all big moves, and they were easy to deal with.
But Xing Dayun, who has also been in battle for a long time, will use the smallest action and the least effort to attack.
Most battles would end within an hour, but the forbidden army dealt with the hardest and most strenuous battles, such as against the Northern Han army, the cavalry of the Shatuo people, and even the cavalry of the Khitans.
Shouting, those who are exhausted in half an hour will be the first to die.
Only the most disciplined army, which preserves its strength, will survive such a battle.
Xu Yongzhi saw that Shi Chang's stick came ingeniously, and hurriedly put the stick away.
This stick was empty, Xing Dayun's body was put in, and Xu Yongzhi hurriedly slashed it away, hitting Xing Dayun's right shoulder.
Xing Dayun dodged reluctantly this time, and was secretly screaming that it was not good, but he felt that this stick lightly touched his shoulder, so he took it back and attacked again, knowing that this soldier's stick was good, so he retreated into the circle.
If it was a competition, Xing Dayun should admit defeat this time, but today's theme is not a competition, but beating people, so Xing Dayun said hello, ten people, ten sticks, split ways.
The Great Zhou Forbidden Army is still in stock.
Ten sticks attacked, Xu Yongzhi was about to make a big move to block, he blocked the sticks in the high place, and the sticks below came to his legs, and even better, the storm was stormy, and no one stopped.
Xu Yongzhi shouted in surprise: "Wonderful! Great! ”
He didn't hold back and beat people, not that he thought he could beat people, but that he thought it was interesting to be comrades with these people.
Xu Yongzhi swiped the stick on the ground, pushed aside the stick on the lower road, and he dragged the stick to find the far left of the ten people, but was blocked by a nearby stick.
In the case of a small number of times, it is necessary to find the opponent's flank, and at this time, it is not a dozen ten, but a dozen and one thing, which happened ten times.
But if ninety people are in a circle, this tactic will not work.
"Oops, it looks like it's a bit of a stretch." Xu Yongzhi thought.
Lei Song laughed when he saw it, and as soon as the bamboo whistle blew in his mouth, ninety people in all directions moved forward half a step, and Xu Yongzhi attacked Lao Xing with a stick, standing left and right.
Lei Song whistled again, and the ninety people took another half step, and now the circle became smaller and smaller.
All the soldiers had gloating expressions on their faces.
Lei Song whistled three times in a row, and ninety people attacked three times in a row.
Xu Yongzhi could only take three steps forward, forcing away the stick in front of him, and then turning back to repel the attack of the people behind him.
"Surrender," Lei Song said, "Towel, you have a good fight, you can deal with ten people, you are a good man, we will beat you lightly." ”
I mean it.
Lei Song started the no-stab procedure, and someone above greeted him.
"If the person surnamed Xu asks for a waiver, you will see his kung fu."
Lao Xing tried, and sure enough, he lost.
Lei Song is an expert, he can see it clearly, even if he changes himself, he should be tied with Xu Yongzhi in 20 rounds, and it's hard to say more.
After that, ten people couldn't trap Xu Yongzhi, and it was also clear.
Lei Song really cherishes Xu Yongzhi and wants him to suffer less.
But who is Xu Yongzhi?
How about martial arts, let's put it aside.
How much he's eaten.
If your girlfriend asks you, "Yesterday I had a fever and went out to sell medicine, but I saw my best friend's husband hugging another woman, guess who?" ”
This is the proposition, you have to ask "who is it" and you will die.
The crux of this sentence is that the girlfriend said that she had a fever.
You have to say, "Oh my God, my dear, what's the fever, why don't you tell me." ”
Hands quickly touched her forehead.
Similarly, Du Tou said: "Xu Towel, surrender, I can beat you lightly." ”
If you hear "light", you're in trouble.
The key word is "surrender." ”
Xu Yongzhi is a person who has been abused by Li Lianqiao, and his mind is full of propositions, which even Li Lianqiao admits that he hides flawlessly.
At this time, Xu Yongzhi's idea was:
"I threw the stick, and you said, 'How can there be surrendered soldiers in Da Zhou', and then they all beat me together, how unjustly I died."
"Then I wasn't wronged if I was beaten to death. No, I have to carry it! ”
People who think too much can sometimes be very reckless.
Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly: "The Great Zhou Forbidden Army, there are no surrendered soldiers!" ”
Xu Yongzhi took a few sticks in a row, attacking the one in the back, since Lao Xing is the strongest leader, there may be a relatively weak soldier behind him.
Guessed right, these people were caught off guard by him.
He snatched it, and the two rods fell to the ground.
He remembered Zhao Kuangyin's move, as soon as he stepped on his feet, he kicked the two sticks to the human circle, and when these people were blocking the two sticks, he attacked and grabbed the stick.
This time the circle is in chaos.
Xu Yongzhi's mouth kept talking:
"Eighteen, twenty, twenty-two...... Fifty-six, fifty-eight......"
Fifty-eight people have been taken down!
Lei Song shouted: "Get out of the way, let the Sprinkle family fight him!" ”
