Chapter 187 Battle
Xia Yi has a stable personality, and he does not lose his chances, and he never loses his faux pas, and within a few days, he got acquainted with several important people under Xia Zhuo's command, and initially gained a firm foothold under Xia Zhuo.
Li Xun praised Xia Yi in private more than once, saying that he was sensible, understood etiquette, took military affairs seriously, and handled the relationship with the soldiers very well.
Even Xia Zhuo didn't expect that Xia Yi, a young clansman, could be recognized by his fierce generals in such a short period of time. As a result, he also secretly paid attention to Xia Yi.
For a few days, Xia Yi stayed in the barracks.
Although he is a military candidate, after all, he is a newcomer, and there are still many places to learn. Li Xun did not immediately assign 500 soldiers to his command.
Therefore, during this time, he was mainly familiar with military affairs, and he either followed Li Xuan's side every day to listen to instructions, or observed how other military candidates under Li Xuan's command handled military affairs and trained soldiers, but he was also full and comfortable.
Time flies.
Five days later.
On this day, Li urged people to call Xia Yi.
"It's only been five days, but I can see that you kid has learned everything he needs to learn.
In and out of the words, there are many praises.
Li Xuan looked satisfied, and said: "- - Qu five hundred people, I will allocate it to you today."
Xia Yi couldn't help but smile on his face, and he felt like he was gearing up.
"Can't you wait?" Li Xun laughed: "I think at the beginning, I was like this... Not much to say, you took the token yourself, led 500 people, and from today onwards, you will be the official general of my own school captain's department.
Shaking his hand and giving Xia Yi a military waiting token, Li urged again: "But for now, you have to go to the captain's mansion with me." After you have been there, it is not too late to return to the camp and lead the troops and horses.
Xia Yi nodded.
After leaving the military tent, the two of them each rode their own cars, got out of the barracks, and went all the way to the captain's mansion in the city.
"This time you are officially in office," - As he walked forward, Li urged and said: "As a lieutenant, I should go to meet the captain in person, and thank you for the promotion." But that's just one of them.
Hearing this, Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "General, are those of my clansmen here?"
Li Xun pointed at Xia Yi and smiled: "Clever ghost!"
Xia Yi laughed: "Calculate the time, it should be about the same."
At the beginning, Xia Yi stayed at home for three days and spent two days on the way, but now, isn't it exactly ten days. They're so good, they're taking the time to come over...
"Most of your people are pretty good, but some... Forget it, my Lao Li doesn't dare to say more, anyway, that's it. Li urged to smash it, smash it, and his face was unhappy.
"The general must have seen them?" Xia Yi laughed.
Li Xun nodded: "It's really the same as what the captain said, there is no difference by half a point... My old Li was born in the commoner clan, but I don't dare to talk about the direct descendants of the clan.
Li urged that he was born as a civilian, and he was from the Xia Zhuo clan, so as a subordinate, of course he didn't dare to talk about it.
Xia Yi knows this very well.
As they spoke, the two of them rode to the gate of the school captain's mansion.
He turned over, handed his mount to the guard guarding the door, and entered the mansion by himself.
"You two came just in time."
In the hall, Xia Zhuo sat on the main seat, his strong body was like a crouching tiger, majestic and majestic.
Around the hall, there are more than 30 people, all of whom are young people who have not yet been crowned.
These more than 30 people are divided into about 30 people, only three people on the right and more than 30 people on the left, which looks very asymmetrical. But the three people on the right, in terms of momentum and temperament, are much stronger than the more than thirty people on the left!
These three are the three sons of the direct lineage of the main lineage.
The three of them stood there, their clothes and appearance were unusual, and there was a pride on their faces, which seemed to be condescending and superior.
Xia Zhuo smiled, he couldn't see any unusual expressions, and when he saw Li Xuan and Xia Yi entering the door, he greeted him, and said to the more than 30 clansmen who had just arrived: "This is the military Sima Li Zhiran under the command of the captain of this school." Li Zhiran has a profound martial arts, has killed countless enemies, and has made outstanding achievements, haven't you seen it yet?"
"I've seen Li Sima!"
The more than 30 side branches all bowed to each other.
And the three main line disciples only nodded to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan glanced at it, the gloom on his face flashed away, and then returned the salute to everyone, and then said to Xia Zhuo: "General, after five days of observation, the last general thinks that this kid Xia Yi is already capable of the important task of leading soldiers and horses alone."
"Oh?"
Xia Zhuo laughed when he heard this; "It's good to get your Li Zhiran's own admission." Then he set his eyes on Xia Yi: "When you first arrived, you can lead a song alone and become a military candidate, which is a great honor." In the future, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, work hard, and do not disappoint the captain and Li Sima. ”
"Don't worry, general, the last general will be saved!"
Xia Yi beat his chest and saluted, and said solemnly.
Xia Zhuo nodded, and then said to the Xia clan disciple with a smile: "The young man in front of you is called Xia Yi, and he is a branch disciple. Like you, I came to join the army at the behest of the Lord. They are all children of the Xia family, so they have seen each other.
When the more than 30 branch disciples heard this, they all smiled, and each stepped forward to salute and take care of them.
Xia Yi didn't make a big deal, smiled sincerely, and got acquainted with them.
But there are three children of the main line, and they don't look very good.
One said: "But I don't know how the general arranged for me to wait?"
A smile flashed on Xia Zhuo's face, and he said, "You are all talents of the new generation of my Xia family, and the captain of this school will naturally arrange for the students." According to the meaning of the main line, I will let you and others lead the team first, lead fifty people, and then promote them with their military merits.
When the three main lineage disciples heard this, they all frowned.
They are the disciples of the main lineage, and the three of them are all masters of the five-rank martial arts realm. They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, they already have a five-grade martial arts, and they are the children of the main lineage, so they are naturally arrogant.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhuo actually compared them with the children of the branch veins and arranged them in a unified manner.
What's even more unpleasant is that one of the children of the branch has already ridden on their heads and served as a soldier!
How does this make them feel good?
One of them said bluntly: "General, I don't know how this virtuous person can become a military candidate?"
He pointed at Xia Yi with a blank squint.
"How can he be?"
The smile on Xia Zhuo's face was closed, and he said, "With the merits of the war, with my Xia Someone's personal appointment, do you have an opinion?!"
"Yes!"
The man was not afraid of Xia Zhuo, and said, "This is also a newcomer, how can he have any combat achievements?" As the chief general of an army, the general oversees tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, I am afraid that he must be fair and just!"
"Xia Qian, huh?"
Xia Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean that General Ben is unfair?"
Xia Qian stood proudly.
"Hey," Xia Zhuo laughed: "Li Sima, report Xia Yi's exploits!" No!"
Li urged his body one by one and shouted; "Five days ago, there was a Beidi barbarian army attacking its Qiancheng, and the barbarians attacked the Feitian Palace, At that time, Xia Yi had just arrived, one person and one horse, beheaded fifty-three levels, and the general personally appointed him and promoted to the army!
Xia Zhuo nodded, got up slowly, squinted at Xia Qian and the three of them, and said, "If you have military merits, I will not hesitate to be promoted." But you didn't!"
As he spoke, his tone became heavy.
Xia Zhuo's majestic momentum, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, came in an instant.
For a while, in this hall, it was as if the sky had collapsed, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Especially Xia Qian and the other three main lineage disciples, their faces were flushed by this momentum, and their backs were slightly bent.
"Under my Xia Zhuo, as long as there is a head, I will give you a promotion and make you rich. But you dare to question the fairness of someone in my Xia!" His eyes were like tiger eyes, shooting out a substance-like look, and his whole body was numb.
"If it is a general under his command, he will be dragged out directly to be punished by military law!"
Murderous, rolling like a tide.
Xia Yi on the side couldn't help but take a deep breath before he could hold back the tremor in his heart.
What Xia Zhuo is doing now is nothing more than to deter these Xia disciples.
After all, these people have to be generals under him, and at the very least, they are also team leaders, and they are grassroots officers. If you can't deter him and collect his will, how can he use it?
Disobedient people, especially in the military, are a great hidden danger.
Xia Yi clearly saw that there was fear in the eyes of the children of the side lineage. And the three direct children, although they have bowed their heads, they don't look very good.
Xia Zhuo accepted it when he saw it, snorted, and said: "Nian Zai'er and other first-time offenders, and I don't know the military law yet, so this matter will be revealed." If you re-commit it in the future, you will be dealt with severely!
"This is in the army, not in the Xia clan. It is based on military law. Remember!
Coming out of Xia Zhuo's mansion, Xia Yi was a little helpless in his heart.
Those three direct children are not friendly to him.
was pressed by Xia Zhuo and cut face, they couldn't help it. After all, Xia Zhuo has heavy troops in his hands and is their superior. But Xia Yi is different, just a young man on the side, his martial arts are not as advanced as them, and his identity is not as noble as them, but he became a military candidate, and was compared with them by Xia Zhuo, which makes the direct descendants who have always been arrogant how can they bear it?
Naturally, he was angry with Xia Yi.
Although Xia Yi was helpless, he didn't care much.
These direct descendants have not yet been able to accurately locate themselves, and they still think that in the clan, they can squint at people. But this is in the army, and everything is decided by military merit.
However, the more than 30 collateral children are much closer to Xia Yi.
Especially the two who were assigned to Xia Yi as team leaders, even more so.
"Both of them are children of the clan, they are older than me, and the younger brother is also a newcomer, although he has won the general's appreciation and has been a military candidate, but a good man and three gangs, brothers are united in their interests and gold, and I hope the two brothers will help me a lot!"
"Junhou laughed," Xia Zhen didn't dare to say: "Junhou is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has such an achievement, and it will be okay to soar in the future." We will never dare to compare, and in the future, we will be the only army and the horse!"
"That's exactly how it should be!" Another Xia Ying also said yes.
Although I don't know whether these two people are sincere or not, Xia Yi is still very happy. They are all children of the clan, and they are all side branches, and they are congenitally close.
Xia Zhen and Xia Ying also rode on scaly horses, and they rode three horses with Xia Yi and went to the barracks along the way. As for Li Xuan, who was still in Xia Zhuo's mansion, Xia Yi guessed that there should be something to discuss.
Just now, Guo Yan and Xia Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu and others also arrived at the school captain's mansion. These are Xia Zhuo's henchmen, and together, they will definitely not be for fun.
As for what Xia Zhuo and his henchmen were going to discuss, Xia Yi couldn't guess.
He doesn't have any relevant information to infer it.
Thinking of this, Xia Yi took Xia Zhen and Xia Ying to the barracks.
At that moment, he held the token, allocated troops and horses, commanded the troops, and officially assumed the post of military candidate.
The soldiers of the Western Regions are mainly cavalry.
With Beidi and Xirong, cavalry is the king.
Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses under the command of Chengji's lieutenant are cavalry, and only a small number of soldiers and horses responsible for defending the city are foot soldiers. Although it is a foot soldier, as long as you step on the mount, you are immediately a cavalry.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Zhuo's command of the Western Regions has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are cavalry.
The 500 soldiers and horses allocated to Xia Yi were all cavalry.
But not scouts, not heavy riders, but ordinary light riders.
In the army, scouts have a high status and high requirements, so scouts are elite soldiers. The heavy cavalry is the army's offensive force, and it is also the elite.
Light cavalry is the most common, mainly mounted archery, supplemented by charging and fighting. Under the account of the lieutenant of Shuji, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and 18,000 people were light horses.
Every soldier of the light cavalry is a warrior who has entered the product. There are five people on it, and there is a team commander. The two armies are one by one, and the chief must meet the rigid conditions of the second-grade martial artist before he can perform his post.
Five tithes and one team, set up a team rate, five teams and one tun, set up a tun chief. The hard condition for the tun chief to perform his duties is to reach the realm of the three-grade martial arts.
Above the tun level, it is the trilogy, two tun and one song, and the first of a song is the curvature, also known as the military candidate.
In this way, a single part is a five-hundred-person establishment.
Xia Yi is the military candidate, commanding 500 soldiers under his command.
Compared with light riding, the selection conditions for heavy riding and scout riding have been raised by one notch.
The most inferior heavy riders and scout riders are all second-grade martial artists. Among them, the team rate requires three grades, the tun commander has four grades, and the military candidate must get five grades!
If Xia Yi is placed in the heavy cavalry or scout cavalry, at most he can only be a tun commander, and it is not enough to be a military candidate.
After allocating soldiers and horses, Xia Yi did not stop for a moment, and directly gathered people in a corner of the school field.
Five hundred light horsemen in armor were listed in front of him, making Xia Yi's mood fluctuate slightly.
His gaze swept from left to right, and on the faces of each soldier, he paused for a moment before he spoke: "I am ordered by my own captain's department to serve as a military officer." From now on, you will be my brother under Xia Yi's mill!"
His eyes burned: "Don't say much, I see that many of you don't seem to be convinced?" Do you think I'm not old enough, I don't have prestige, and I can't stop you?!"
"Hey, there aren't so many vain people in the army, everything speaks with strength." He paused: "I'll let out the words here, and the officers above the team leader can challenge me." If I am defeated, I should go to the Captain's Mansion to hand over the token, and recommend it to General Xia, so that Er and others can be promoted.
He glanced at it: "Come on!"
After that, he waved his hand and said: "Fence it off, let the opening open space!"
After a while, five hundred people gathered in a circle, and a ten-zhang square area was vacant.
Xia Yi stepped forward, stood in the middle of the field, and stood with his hands tied.
Then several of the original officers glanced at each other and nodded slightly, and one of them walked into the field, gave a military salute to Xia Yi, and shouted: "Just as the military hou said, the army speaks with strength." In Xia Chengying, Xi is the head of the tun, and on behalf of all my colleagues in the next generation, I will ask the military for advice, If the military is victorious, we have nothing to say, and we will obey the orders in the future!"
This Cheng Ying is the strongest of the five hundred soldiers, and his martial arts realm can reach the fourth grade, similar to Xia Yi.
It was up to him to take action, and everyone was convinced.
Xia Yi understood, nodded slightly, and shook his head again: "It's not enough!"
"Huh?"
Cheng Ying's thin face showed a hint of anger.
I saw Xia Yi beckoning to Xia Zhen and Xia Ying who were standing aside: "Two clan brothers, come together!"
Xia Zhen and Xia Ying are both eighteen or nineteen years old, and their martial arts realm is on par with Xia Yi, and they are both beginners of the fourth grade. Seeing Xia Yi beckoning, Qi Qi frowned.
They all felt that Xia Yi's move was too arrogant, and he was suspected of looking down on them.
I thought Xia Yi was modest, but I didn't expect it to be so.
The two were angry, glanced at each other, nodded, and walked into the middle of the field together, just about to give Xia Yi a little color to see, so that he would not underestimate the two.
Xia Yi was quite sure in his heart.
Whether it's Xia Zhen or Xia Ying, the exercises he has practiced since he was a child are exactly the same as Xia Yi. But they don't have a turtle shell and can't perfect the exercises. Although they are also in the four-grade realm, they are far behind Xia Yi. On the contrary, Xia Yi understands their details, which makes it easier to deal with.
And although this Cheng Ying was born in the army and has rich experience in fighting, but because of the exercises, no matter how strong he is, he can't be much stronger.
It happened that one enemy and three would defeat the battle, one of them would subdue the five hundred soldiers in one fell swoop, and the other would also convince Xia Zhen and Xia Ying.
"Is this move a bit bigger?
Xia Zhen frowned.
"It doesn't matter." Xia Yi laughed and waved his hand: "Come!"
Cheng Ying glanced at Xia Zhen Xia Ying, then clenched his fists to Xia Yi again, and said in a heavy voice: "Junhou, offended!"
Before the words fell, Cheng Ying had already arrived in front of Xia Yi.
A fist the size of a bowl, with a strong wind whistling, came straight to Xia Yi's shoulder!
It's not a life-and-death fight, naturally, Cheng Ying's moves are not aimed at the vital point.
Xia Yi didn't blink his eyes, and he couldn't make a move, lightning stretched out his hand, and flicked it on Cheng Ying's wrist, and his strength was shocked, Cheng Ying's wrist was deflected, and a punch was empty.
But this person had a lot of experience in fighting, and was dissolved by Xia Yi with one punch, and the other fist rushed up again.
Xia Yi laughed, accurately grasped the punch, and led it to the side one by one, pulling away Cheng Ying's fist frame, leaving him with the hollow door wide open. Then he stepped forward, broke Cheng Ying's thrown leg, and his shoulder slammed into Cheng Ying's chest, directly knocking the man out.
Then he calmly turned around and slapped out with one palm, just in time to catch Xia Zhen's attack. Then he deviated obliquely, staggered Xia Ying's legs one by one, only stepped forward according to Xia Zhen's progress, hit hard and entered, two fists collapsed Xia Zhen's fist frame, and pushed it in front of his chest, Xia Zhen should fly with his palm.
But in the blink of an eye, three punches and two kicks, there is only one of the three people left in the field!
The five hundred soldiers around him were dumbfounded!
Is it so powerful! ?
Among the five hundred of them, Cheng Ying, the strongest, couldn't even catch a move, so he was directly knocked away. And the other two, who seem to be stronger than Cheng Ying, don't seem to be able to hold two punches!
Xia Yi's face was indifferent, he pushed Xia Zhen away with one palm, and then grabbed Xia Ying's whip leg when he turned around, and slammed it hard, Xia Ying couldn't hold it steady, and the whole person flew up with a hand, and was thrown out by Xia Yi.
It only took a few breaths before and after, and the three challengers who were extremely powerful in the eyes of the soldiers failed.
Looking at the three people with gray faces, and then looking at Xia Yi who was standing indifferently in the field, all the soldiers couldn't help but show awe.
There is no doubt that whoever is powerful in the army will be able to win the obedience of the soldiers first.
At this moment, Cheng Ying and the three of them also got up and walked over.
"The army is brave, and the last general is convinced!"
Cheng Ying looked respectful.
Although he was knocked off by Xia Yi's shoulder, Xia Yi used dexterity and did not hurt him in the slightest. It is precisely because of this that he deeply knows the strength of Xia Yi.
That vast power of sending and receiving from the heart almost made his heart tremble. If it is a life-and-death fight on the battlefield, in Xia Yi's hands, he will be directly beheaded with a knife.
And Xia Zhen and Xia Ying have complicated faces.
They are all in the realm of the four grades, and they all practice the same exercises, why is Xia Yi so much stronger than them! ?
I couldn't figure it out, but I was also shocked.
