Chapter 5078: Military Competition (1) (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
In fact, this situation is not only the Yan family, but also the entire Jinxi Six Kingdoms, and even the rest of the families of the Dawu Empire, are basically in the same model as the Yan family.
Su Zhongqing did this, how could he guarantee the army's loyalty to him? Yan Dingfang drew a big stop in his heart, Lu Shun, Deng Biao, Gao Chong and others can say that they are working with their eldest brother, and there will be no problems in loyalty, but like Dong Ying in front of him, as well as those officers who have passed the competition, how can they fully believe it? Yan Dingfang shook his head involuntarily.
Dong Ying, who was full of interest on the side, naturally didn't know what Yan Dingfang thought, and said with a smile while introducing everyone into the camp:
"Our Wudang Fei Army is the most elite unit in the Taidang County Army, as long as it can get out of the battalion, it will definitely be able to get the ranking in the whole army, so ah, the competition within our army is much more fierce than other troops, Yan Junshi, General Yan, you two here, please"
Yan Qinghua laughed, "General Dong, if you let Gao Zhong listen to this, you will definitely not be convinced, or General Tian Shunchang will also come to you to talk to you." ”
Dong Ying laughed and said, "We can only say this in private, but, Master Yan, this is the truth."
The two talked and laughed, and the group came to the school field in the camp, but what was going on in the field was spear throwing. Twenty soldiers were on horseback, several spears hanging from their saddles, and hundreds of paces away, targets stood one after another, and circles of red marks were drawn on the white-painted wooden boards.
To Yan Dingfang's surprise, these targets were actually moving, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that the targets were being carried, and the people carrying the targets were in the trenches, holding these targets high and running in the trenches.
By this time, Yan Dingfang understood that it turned out that the school field was shooting moving targets, which was much more difficult than shooting fixed targets.
The group stopped and watched with interest as the soldiers competed. In addition to the soldiers in these games, most of the soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army were watching from the sidelines, and from time to time someone shouted to cheer for them. As soon as someone shouts out one voice, the other group will also shout out, and depending on the situation, they are divided into several groups.
"The soldiers in these races are from different commanders and centurions, and they are cheered on by their companions, and I have no rule in the Flying Army, that whoever wins will be one percent higher than the loser in the following year. So, every soldier in the competition is the best of the sergeants. Dong Ying said.
Yan Dingfang said in surprise: "Then where did these extra soldiers come from?" ”
Dong Ying said: "Of course, we are out of the flying army. ”
Yan Dingfang silently calculated in his heart, this is a lot of expenses, in the Yan family, Yan Dingfang knows that if an officer does not eat empty time and does not deduct the soldier's money, he is already a very good officer, but it is really unheard of for them to pay out of their own pockets to subsidize the soldiers.
"Is it just General Dong? What about the other troops? Yan Dingfang asked.
Dong Ying said with a smile: "Since I created this method, other brother troops have also followed suit, and now I am afraid that the whole army is like this." ”
As he spoke, the following game had begun, the six targets were divided into two, one left and one right were moving, and the trench was not a level, it was dug in all directions, these six targets were completely purposeless, running around like a headless fly, running high and low, left and right. It's dazzling.
"How do you get the shot?" Yan Dingfang couldn't help but be surprised, and looked back at the generals behind him, the generals behind him all looked shocked, and one person came over and said in a low voice:
"General, if we go in person, this matter is also very simple, but the soldiers under our command, I'm afraid that no one can do it."
The sound of horses' hooves pulled Yan Dingfang's gaze back to the field, and the two soldiers rode their horses to charge, the speed of the horses became faster and faster, and when they were about fifty paces away from those targets, a striking white line on the ground reminded them that this was the limit of the throwing area, and with two shouts, the two soldiers had already raised their spears like lightning.
Immediately after the horsepower, he leaned back on the horse, raised his arm, projected, bangbang twice, and the two spears drew two graceful arcs, which hit the target accurately, and one of them was obviously more powerful, and after the spear hit the target, the soldier carrying the target could not hold it, and the target flew out of his hand.
The horse ran left and right in a small arc, and the two soldiers did not hesitate, and the other two spears on the horse were also thrown, and the two actually threw three shots.
Yan Dingfang turned his head to look at Dong Ying, "General Dong, both of them are three middle schools, how to distinguish the winner from the loser?" ”
Dong Ying waved his hand and called a soldier, whispered two words, the soldier immediately ran to the field, took a target that had not been used, and presented it to Dong Ying, Dong Ying lifted the target and said in a deep voice:
"General Yan, the county head had already thought of this problem when he designed this competition, so he drew these circles on this target, if it is Quanzhong, then naturally the person closest to the center of the circle wins."
Yan Dingfang only then figured out the rules of this game, and then saw that most of the soldiers who appeared on the scene were all three shots, and he couldn't help but be shocked, is this just an ordinary soldier in the Wudang Flying Army?
After the spear throwing, it was time to shoot, and the soldiers were shooting at the moving targets with their bows and arrows on their galloping horses, and at this time the last two of the twenty soldiers had been eliminated, and only eighteen remained. After several rounds of shooting, and two more were eliminated, Yan Dingfang had a general idea of the level of these soldiers at this time, and he was afraid that only middle-level officers in his own troops could be compared, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Yan Qinghua seemed to see through Yan Dingfang's thoughts, and relieved him: "General Yan, although these people are soldiers, they are also the best among soldiers, and there are not too many people who can compare with them. Hearing Yan Qinghua's words, Yan Dingfang felt a little better in his heart, if the soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army were all at this level, it would be too appalling.
There are all kinds of items in the competition, some Yan Dingfang has never heard of, but he also watched it with relish, but some were reluctant to leave, so he ate in the Wudang Flying Army, and then watched the afternoon game.
It was this meal that made Yan Dingfang feel emotional, he actually found that in the Wudang Fei Army, from the military marquis Dong Ying to an ordinary soldier, they were all lined up in a neat line, going to the head army to get food, and seeing Dong Ying lined up among the soldiers in a regular manner, Yan Dingfang was a little stammering, he never imagined that it would be like this.
Yan Dingfang was a guest, but Dong Ying didn't let him line up, but asked a few personal soldiers to line up for them and bring the meal, Yan Dingfang secretly glanced at it, and his bowl was no different from that of ordinary soldiers.
