Chapter Eighty-Five: The Virtuous Comes
The arrival of Zhang Tang is a good thing for Han Long, and it is also a beginning.
On the second day, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and white hair also appeared in the martial arts hall of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, looking very vicissitudes.
This man came in through the North City Gate, indicating that he had escaped from the boundless grassland.
"Somebody came here to give it a try!"
The middle-aged man walked directly in front of Li Dao, who was in charge of assessing the marching formation, and directly placed the many formation flags representing various arms in front of him.
According to the different names of Li Dao, different formations were posed, and then Li Dao's good brother Guo Yan was added, and the two of them were assessed together.
"Putting up a formation, it's just a dead thing, you don't have any ability, the next one!"
The white-haired middle-aged man faced Li and Guo Yan, who were already a little sluggish, and said this sentence very plainly, which is really very standard.
"After passing this formation, you can..."
"Not enough!" the middle-aged man shook his head directly, "Where is the next assessment?"
Li Wei looked at this middle-aged man and knew that this was a very confident person, so he pointed to the place where Cao Chun was stationed on the other side, "Where martial arts are assessed..."
"Good!"
The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly, and then walked towards Cao Chun's place.
It was Cao Zhen who was in charge of the training of the Haw Par Camp today, so Cao Chun personally sat in this recruitment hall to see if anyone could fight with him.
His luck is really good today, he didn't have to wait long, and he saw this white-haired middle-aged man who had just been respected in Li Dao Guo Yan.
"Your Excellency's name?"
Cao Chun felt that this guy was a talent, so he showed a lot of respect, but the middle-aged man was quite cold.
"Assess first, pass and then say!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saluted directly towards Cao Chun without saying a word, and then set up a formation.
When Cao Chun saw this person's appearance, he also knew that this guy had a story, so he didn't say much nonsense, nodded directly, and then let people vacate the formation.
This martial arts assessment is in a school field, Cao Chun and the man in white stopped after playing against Lily, Cao Chun kept his hand, and the middle-aged man did not go all out, and in the end, no one dared to say who would be able to win.
"Are you interested in going with me to see the lord now?" Cao Chun directly sent out an invitation, but he knew that Duanmu Ci had recommended a young man late at night yesterday, which made him a little moved.
"Not enough, where's the next one?"
The middle-aged man didn't stop, but continued to ask, he was going to become famous in one fell swoop this time.
Cao Chun had already seen his behavior, and then pointed at Xu Rong, but Xu Rong had just been found.
When Li Wei and Guo Yan saw that Cao Chun couldn't take down this white-haired middle-aged man, they knew that this guy would not stop, so they directly asked Fan Chou to get out of the way, and directly invited their main general Xu Rong back from the barracks.
"This is the man you are talking about?"
Xu Rong looked at the middle-aged man who came slowly and couldn't help but groan, this guy did look a little imposing.
"General be careful, this guy's art of war is good!" Li Wei reminded softly, and then watched the middle-aged man come over and directly get out of the way.
"General be careful!" Guo Yan also reminded, and then got out of the way, letting the middle-aged man walk in front of his own commander.
After the white-haired middle-aged man came to Xu Rong, he saluted respectfully, but he didn't look half arrogant, but the series of actions he made just now were even more crazy than a madman, but this was a madman who really had the ability.
"Want to ascend to the sky in one step?" Xu Rong chuckled, "It seems that I have a big obsession in my heart!"
"I want revenge!" The white-haired middle-aged man took a deep breath, and then arched his hand towards Xu Rong, "The general is invited!"
"Please!" Xu Rong also waved his hand, and then a huge sand table map appeared in the middle of them, with various small flags on both sides, representing the class and number.
"You and I are not fledglings, please sir!"
Xu Rong stretched out his hand and pointed, and then the two began to enter the battle, which is a common thing for soldiers, sand table martial arts.
Xu Rong is still in a cavalry array, and there are enough cavalry on this sand table as if they are a replica of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the white-haired middle-aged man is more mixed in comparison.
"Soldiers?" neither of the warring sides could see each other's formations, but the people next to them could see clearly.
The first flag that the white-haired young man came up to take out turned out to be the flag representing the chariot soldiers, which was really a little surprising.
"The rooks... Isn't that thing obsolete?" two similar-looking people in the crowd were talking to each other about the battle ahead.
"That thing is something from the ancient times, and I don't use it much now, but even if I can use it, it's not a great person!" said the younger man in a whisper, "The chariot soldier is a rook of four soldiers, a rider, a bow and crossbow, a long ge, and a chariot commander."
According to rumors, in ancient times, this chariot soldier was so strong that it could crush other troops, and even the behavior of ordinary soldiers shaking monks was also the beginning of the rise of chariot soldiers, so there was a saying about chariot soldiers in ancient times.
The chariot equals strength, and the more chariots, the stronger the strength!"
"Huh...," the other man took a deep breath, "Is it so powerful? Why did it disappear without a trace?"
"Because it's outdated!" the well-informed man sneered, "The chariot soldiers are strong, and if they cooperate tacitly, they can be ten in one car, but they are too cumbersome, and if the chariot soldiers encounter foot soldiers, they may be able to run over them."
But once the chariot encounters the cavalry, especially the rangers and light cavalry, this shortcoming of his will be very fatal, and it will even make them a dilemma of life and death!"
"And this war...."
"This white-haired middle-aged man is dead!" the man said affirmatively, "although his method of arranging the formation is also quite mysterious, and the steady and steady development of the advantages of this chariot soldier is incisive, but the chariot soldier is the same as the cavalry, both sides are fighting on the plains.
Therefore, in the end, their decisive battle will definitely be on the plains, and only in this way can he maximize the strength of the chariot soldiers.
But if you look at this sand table again, the largest plain seems to be a plain, but in fact it is a canyon, if this is the case, the chariot will be even more ineffective, and finally the cavalry will be strangled in a matter of seconds!"
"It's a pity...."The other man's face was full of pity, "I thought I could see how powerful the chariot soldiers were in ancient times." ”
"Don't think about it, this era is constantly advancing, it is inevitable that the chariots will be eliminated by the cavalry, this kind of thing is expensive and cumbersome, and it is by no means something that idle people can pay.
Not all old things, that's all good, just like when a monk with a very high cultivation level was able to make the entire continent tremble, that is also in the past, once the sect ruled the dynasty, and now the dynasty cooperates with each other in the sect.
Even under the army of the dynasty, even the sect will have some scruples, this is the change of the times, don't feel pity, there is nothing to pity!"
While these two men were talking, the big battle had begun.
At this time, the spirits of both sides had already entered the martial arts sand table, among which Xu Rong seemed to be incarnated as the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and once again started his own road to the battlefield.
And the white-haired middle-aged man was the same, slowly marching on the map with the army he had selected.
Soon the battle between the two sides began in Kashgar, and the first battle was between the white-haired middle-aged forward troops and Xu Rong's cavalry, this battle came and went quickly, it can be regarded as a surprise battle, it can also be called a temptation.
The final result is that this white-haired middle-aged man is safe enough to lead the troops.
"Changge, bows and crossbows, chariot soldiers, and swords and shields, this formation is not only chaotic, but also very similar to ancient tactics!" Xu Rong pondered after turning the army under his command around.
In addition to the temptation just now, he can be regarded as having enough understanding of the arrangement of this guy on the other side, at least knowing all the troop configurations of this guy, and the rest of the things are much easier.
Similarly, the white-haired middle-aged man also knew Xu Rong's methods, the cavalry of Yishui.
"Go on, go on!" the white-haired middle-aged man continued to march forward with his army as if he had not the slightest concern, and soon he came to the entrance of the valley.
On the opposite side is a water of cavalry, which means that they will never raid in such a place, and without the raid of crossbowmen, it is tantamount to delivering goods to him.
When the army under the command of the white-haired middle-aged man reached the plain in the canyon, Xu Rong's cavalry slowly appeared.
"The decisive battle is about to begin!" Anyone who knows about military affairs knows that this big battle can be said to be just around the corner, and neither side seems to have much to worry about.
"Miaocai, do you think that white-haired guy will have any extraordinary means, after all, he seems to be a person with an ancient inheritance..."
"It's useless!" Miao Cai shook his head, "The composition of his army has already determined that he will definitely fail this time, no matter how powerful the inheritance is, it can't stop the restraint between the troops, just like the same number of sword and shield men and crossbowmen, unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, the sword and shield soldiers will win!"
You and I have also seen General Xu Rong's ability in the past few days, and we can't compare to him!"
"It's okay.... What's going on!"
There was a flash of fire on the sand table, and then Xu Rong was eliminated from the game.
