Chapter 59: Let's Go Together
"Good work."
Lu Xiao said to the woman in front of him. This woman is undoubtedly Ding Baiying, the most amazing character in the embroidered spring knife.
"As long as you can do what you promised me, it's nothing. I've got what you want. β
As she spoke, Ding Baiying took out a thick thread-bound book and handed it to Lu Xiao.
"This is all the training methods of the Qi family army back then, the way of battle formation, and the way of governing the army. There are also many martial arts masters who served for the Qi family army back then, and they jointly compiled the art of killing in the army. β
How strong is the Qi family's army. Later generations may not be impressed by this. Because of the thousands of years of history in China, there are too many strong armies. But it is no exaggeration to say that even in the thousands of years of Chinese history, the Qi family army can definitely be among the best.
First of all, the Qi family army is a professional army in the true sense. All the soldiers were basically out of work. All the time is spent on training and honing various tactics.
The second really powerful person is Qi Jiguang. As the soul of the entire Qi family's army. He didn't just train a strong army. Instead, it endowed Qi Jiajun with a variety of advanced tactical thinking and flexible tactical models.
The most famous is that the Qi family army created a new weapon against the Japanese invaders, the "wolf slug".
This weapon has a sharp blade at the top, a handle one zhang long, and bamboo branches on all sides. Sharp as a wolf's tooth, it is a stick with hard, straight, and thick roots. Like a multi-headed fork, it can be swept and swept away, and it can also resist the attack of the pikeman, and the shot makes a rattlesnake-like sassy sound.
There is also a wooden "tu-bu" that glides on the mud and is used to chase enemies who are stumbling on the mud and preparing to flee. And this is the famous wolf-wrenching tactic.
Later, there were also the Mongol armies, which used a large amount of gunpowder and even primitive mines to destroy the opponent's cavalry formation, and then broke the enemy army.
It can be said that Qi Jiguang is a military all-rounder. He is able to get the most out of all the weapons available to him, and can even continue to improve them to make them one hundred and two percent effective.
At the same time, it can also quickly formulate targeted tactics for different enemies. At that time, his opponents were really hit by dimensionality reduction.
With upright and strict military discipline, and a sergeant who is not afraid of death. As a result, the Qi family army is ahead of all enemies in terms of soldier quality, tactical level, and even weapon assembly. In this way, the myth that this army will win every battle can be realized.
The only thing that hurts Lu Xiaodan is. After Qi Jiguang's death, the imperial court still used the Qi family army for a period of time. But only use, not supplement, let alone reward. Until all the Qi family troops were used alive. The last bit of Da Ming's qi was lost. The courtiers were finally satisfied.
So much so that he was beaten by various rogues and couldn't find the north. Later, the Tartars entered the customs and rushed to surrender one by one. I don't know what they think. Could it be that they were ready to surrender at that time?
Lu Xiao took the book, and after roughly flipping through a few pages, he put it away.
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise. But now, the time has not come. β
"The time has not come? The adult speaks in a crepe, but he doesn't look like a military attachΓ©. I don't know when the time will come. β
Behind Ding Baiying, there was a yin and yang strange voice. This man was the young man with the elongated Miao knife.
Lu Xiao crossed over Ding Baiying, only to see the other party's provocative look. And his right hand has already grasped the hilt of the knife, and he is obviously a little eager to try.
"Ding Xiu, don't be rude." Ding Baiying turned around and scolded Ding Xiu. But Lu Xiao raised his hand to stop her.
"He's what you said Ding Xiu?"
"That's right. He practiced the sword technique in the Qi family's army, which specialized in countering the close-quarters of the Japanese invaders. Use this heavier and longer Miao knife to suppress the enemy's Japanese sword head-on. It's a pity that this kind of knife technique is too demanding on physical talent. It didn't really spread in the army back then. β
Lu Xiao nodded, and then looked at the other three. Combined with Ding Baiying's description, I also understand the configuration of these four people.
"A mace is a wolf?"
"That's right, Sergeant Wolf needs to be tall, and the arm strength requirements are even more amazing. In this way, he can swing the wolf and keep the wolf from a foot away. β
"Understood, Teng Dun's short knife is the wolf's guard, helping it defend against close enemies. What about the twin knives? β
"Feiyan is a scout, and it needs to be used by people with a nimble body. Responsible for infiltrating and assassinating enemy sentry posts. β
The man who used Feiyan was named Ding Xian. That is, in the original story, the third of Shen Lian's three brothers, Jing Yichuan.
According to the original background, after Ding Baiying's death. Jin Yichuan and others were arrested. He killed a little flag officer who looked like him. Pretending to be the other party to join the Jinyi Guard.
The other two who use Teng Dun's short knife are called Ding Chong, and the one who uses a mace is called Ding Tai.
However, after Lu Xiao appeared, naturally there would be no Jin Yichuan. The other party is still following Ding Baiying's side. And because of Lu Xiao's early appearance, Ding Baiying and others did not do dirty work for King Xin.
This group of people is the last of the Qi family's army. And it is obviously the Qi family army with a complete heritage. In Chongzhen's second hand, it was just used as consumables.
In Lu Xiao's opinion, Chongzhen and most officials of the Ming Dynasty had an extremely serious vice, which was too unpragmatic.
The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were thinking about calculating this and calculating that all day long. The Qi family army was a little stronger, so he calculated to die. In fact, they are all seeking benefits for themselves. What is really for the country and the people is not done at all.
Oh, maybe they thought they did. for in their hearts they are the people. As for the mud legs that are shaved in the field, they are also counted as people?
Chongzhen's second goods are the same. Thinking about enabling this to save the overall situation all day long, I will change it as soon as I see that it doesn't work. In exchange for it, I shook off that bit of foundation, and nothing was done.
On the other side, Ding Xiu saw that Lu Xiao didn't speak, so he stepped forward.
"I've heard that the Lord is known as the first fast knife of the Jinyi Guard. I wonder if I can open the eyes of the little ones? β
"Ding Xiu, you step down for me." Ding Baiying shouted a little annoyed. Ding Xiu pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced. But he obviously still cared about Ding Baiying's words. So some reluctantly retreated.
But at this time, Lu Xiao took over the topic.
"It's okay, Bai Ying. Young man, he is a martial artist. It is natural to have a pride in the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, the road will not go far. Your name is Ding Xiu, right, I heard your master talk about you. Say that you are the best kung fu among her four disciples. It just so happens that I am also a person who practices martial arts, and I have admired the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family Army for a long time. Or...... Try? β
Ding Xiu didn't respond directly, but glanced at Ding Baiying.
Ding Baiying sighed and nodded lightly. But there was a hint of a suffocated smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ding Xiu immediately stepped forward.
"In Xia Ding Xiu, the pacification envoy, please!"
Who knew that Lu Xiao didn't pick up. Instead, he said it in a good time.
"No, what I'm trying is not your Ding Xiu's knife, but the Qi family's army's mandarin duck array. So, the four of you, let's go together! β
