Chapter Eighty-Four: The School Yard Liwei
On the morning of the next day, except for the 200 generals on duty and those on duty last night, the other 1300 generals all went out for drills, and suddenly shouts and slogans sounded in the barracks, and the barracks finally had the appearance of an army. Tang Tong went to each team to take a look, whether it was pretentious or unhappy, as long as it was not for training, Tang Tong didn't care too much. This would have been the daily task of the army, there was nothing to bargain about .
These officers and soldiers are wondering how long this kind of training can last, this is not Tang Tong's unique trick, every new officer takes office, at the beginning of the swear, and finally it is gone. The hardest thing to do is to persevere. But there are a few people who can hold on for a long time, and all of them have no confidence in Tang Tong.
At this time, there was a team of 100 people preparing to run, and Tang Tong came and walked to the playground with interest. After running four laps, some people began to be unbearable, and gradually some fell behind, and some simply turned into jogging or walking. Tang Tong also felt a little struggling, but still persevered, and in the end, only one soldier ran in front, Tang Tong followed behind, but the soldier didn't react much, knowing that he often ran.
Although Tang Tong insists on practicing swords and sticks every day, running is still different, and he doesn't insist on it every day, relying on the old foundation of the past. After following for a while, he really couldn't run, so he had to change to slow walking, and after running for an extra lap, the man caught up, and Tang Tong saw that it was the person who was sorting out the bedding and going out to exercise yesterday. The officers and soldiers on the playground had already seen that the new captain of the city gate was not an embroidered pillow, except for one person, compared all the soldiers to the bottom, and couldn't help but secretly admire.
After the man stopped, Tang Tong walked over with a smile and gave a thumbs up and praised, "Brother! You can do it!".
The soldier spoke respectfully, and with a hint of awe replied, "Your Excellency! You're not bad either!", at first, he didn't look down on this new city gate captain, and he didn't think that he was the only one left in the end, so he couldn't help but respect him.
Tang Tong saw that this person was about the same age as himself, and asked curiously, "What's your name?".
"Ren Zhizhi.".
Tang Tong and Ren Zhizhi chatted about family life, "Where are you from?".
Ren Zhizhi is not good at words, and he answered very concisely with due diligence, "Henan people.".
It seems that Ren Zhizhi disdains to tie up with his boss, such a person can't be mixed. Ren Zhizhi sat down to rest, and Tang Tong was also tired and sat aside. At this time, He Wang brought a pot of water and handed it to him, Tang Tong took a few sips, and handed the pot to Ren Zhizhi, "Drink some!".
Ren Zhizhi was not polite, and took a few big drinks. is really a sincere person, after drinking and handing it back, Tang Tong shook the kettle, "How about being my guard?".
This put aside others would have been happy for a long time, but Ren Zhizhi was expressionless, hesitated for a long time and replied: "I only serve martial arts that are higher than me, and besides, I have a bad temper, I just want to be comfortable alone, and I don't want to be restrained."
When He Wang, who was on the side, heard this, he laughed, "You don't want to, adults don't want you yet!", Ren Zhizhi didn't pay attention to He Wang, what should he do or what to do, so angry that He Wanggan glared.
Tang Tong saw that the two of them were not dealing with each other, and hurriedly came forward to mediate, "I want to know what aspects of your martial arts are outstanding?".
Ren Zhizhi replied confidently: "Horseback riding, archery, fighting, the best thing is to make a gun!".
"I may not be able to beat you! How about the other than we compare?", which was in the challenge, Tang Tong looked at him with a smile.
Ren Zhizhi didn't believe his ears, "My lord, are you serious?"
Tang Tong nodded, showing an innocent smile, "Do you think I'm joking?", he stood up as he spoke, and the people next to him, including Ren Zhizhi's Bai Zong, heard it very clearly, and after a while, it spread throughout the entire military camp, and everyone gathered around.
On the martial arts stage of the school field, Tang Tong and Ren Zhizhi were ready, Ren Zhizhi first took out a long spear from the stick trough and practiced, and the dance was okay, but there was less crosshairs and ruthlessness. Tang Tong brought a shield and a knife from the side and said; "I'm here to practice with you!".
At this time, Yan Zhishi and the officials of the city gate lieutenant Yamen came to the side of the martial arts stage in the school field, and Yan Yanshi saw that Tang Tong was going to practice with Ren Zhizhi, so he shouted at the top of his voice; "Lord Chengmen Captain, Ren Zhizhi is the best pikeman in my military camp, in case there is a danger, it is not good to hurt the adult!", he was very worried, and kept looking.
He Wang, who was on the side, said contemptuously; "Don't worry! Our adults can kill him with one move!", pointing to Ren Zhizhi as he spoke; "Don't believe it! You do it first.".
Ren Zhizhi was very angry when he heard this, if he wanted to say that it was possible to lose, he insisted on saying a move to put me down, it was really. So he stabbed Tang Tong with a gun, but was blocked by the shield, and before he could understand that a knife had been placed on his neck, how could this be possible, and he was stunned with a bang in his heart. Not only Ren Zhizhi, but everyone present was stunned. Tang Tong took the knife back, smiled at Ren Zhizhi, and put the knife and shield in their place. Tang Tong tilted his head, "Go and compare archery!", and as he spoke, he got off the stage.
The distance between the average person and the arrow target is fifty steps, which can best reflect a person's archery skills, Tang Tong first went back and forth thirty steps, and pulled the bow in eighty steps, which can only be aimed in an arc, the first arrow was shot at the edge of the red heart, Tang Tong shook his head and adjusted the angle, the second arrow was already in the center of the red heart, and the next third arrow was also in the red heart.
Tang Tong said to Ren Zhizhi with some pride: "You can shoot at fifty paces, and all hits are considered a tie!".
Tang Tong was provoking him, how could Ren Zhizhi be insulted by this, and he also stood eighty steps away, and the first arrow with an arrow and bow did not hit the target, he had never shot an arrow at such a distance, and it was normal to run the target. Then the second arrow Ren Zhizhi adjusted, there was still a little distance from the red heart on the target, and the third arrow was barely on the target, shooting three arrows, and the second arrow was on the target and one arrow was on the target, the gap was too big. Even Ren Zhizhi felt embarrassed, Ren Zhizhi thought about it carefully, Tang Tong has been in Xuanfu for so many years, there is definitely no comparison in horseback archery, no matter how you have to move back to a game.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ren Zhizhi proposed, "Don't compare with archery on horseback, how about we fight with bare hands?", Tang Tong didn't expect Ren Zhizhi to be self-aware, and replied with a smile: "Okay!" We don't have to lose both, how about losing with all our torsos on the ground?".
Ren Zhizhi didn't understand what Tang Tong meant, and asked clearly: "What is the explanation?".
Tang Tong patiently explained, "If the torso falls, it doesn't matter if it's lying flat, lying on your back, or lying on your side, as long as your back is on the ground, you will lose, and the other party is not allowed to shoot at this time, and both parties will not be seriously injured.", looked at him after speaking.
Ren Zhizhi nodded when he heard this, "Okay!" Let's go to the competition now!", the two walked towards the martial arts stage again, which satisfied everyone's eyes.
Both sides did not wear any armor and went into battle shirtless with their bare hands. After the two waved their hands and saluted, the fight began, Ren Zhizhi was very confident to win this game, steadily and sharply attacked, forcing Tang Tong to keep defending, there was no time to fight back, and he was about to be forced to the edge of the martial arts stage, Tang Tong rolled on the side, and rolled from the left side of Ren Zhizhi to the center of the stage, this move is indeed not very glorious, the strength and weakness are obvious, and everyone in the audience expects Tang Tong to lose.
Ren Zhizhi didn't expect Tang Tong to make this move, and immediately turned around and launched another round of attacks on Tang Tong, just like just now, Tang Tong was forced to the edge of the martial arts stage again, Tang Tong repeated the old trick again, and rolled to the center of the stage, constantly panting. Ren Zhizhi's attack was more laborious, but he spared no effort and turned around and began to attack more violently. It's not that Tang Tong doesn't dare to fight, Ren Zhizhi has infinite strength, and he is not a level player at all, Tang Tong doesn't dare to confront him head-on, he can only deal with him.
The third time he was forced to the edge of the martial arts stage, Tang Tong also fell to the ground and rolled on the ground for the third time, Ren Zhizhi was a little angry, and immediately turned around, at this time, his right leg was swept suddenly, he suddenly lost his balance, and his body fell to the ground all of a sudden, a kind of shame struck, and he lost! At this time, I understood why Tang Tong made such a rule, and he still fell into a trap. The people in the audience didn't believe that this was true, they obviously had the upper hand, and they lost when they fell to the ground suddenly, and everyone present had a dumbfounded expression, how could this be? .
At this time, a hand reached over and pulled Ren Zhizhi up, "I'm not convinced, right!" If you fall to the ground on the battlefield, you will be stabbed, and you will be dead a long time ago!", Ren Zhizhi was full of shame, he was really ugly and lost to his hometown, and he did not taste the deep meaning of Tang Tong's words.
Tang Tong stood on the stage and said loudly: "Brothers have worked hard today, I have asked the canteen to add dishes, everyone has a good meal!", the audience cheered. Ren Zhizhi, the most powerful man in the barracks, lost three battles with Tang Tong. Although it was hard today, there was comfort, and the officers and soldiers also felt that it was worth the money, and Tang Tong's prestige was established at this moment.
