Twenty-five Liu Bei is a man who pursues speed
In mid-August, after Liu Bei was ready, he left his hometown with the ardent expectations of Han Rong, Gongsun Zhan and his hometown fathers, and embarked on the journey to Luoyang again with more than 20 large cars and small cars.
This time I don't know if it's good luck or what, from Zhuojun to the south through Jizhou, the road was smooth, there was no turmoil, even a few rainy days have not been encountered, except that the weather is a little hot, but there is nothing uncomfortable.
Liu Bei was very happy about this, and when he encountered a cooler place on the road, he would stop for a barbecue party, which was full of leisure.
It wasn't until they entered Hanoi County that they found a group of bandits besieging a convoy on a mountain road, and the convoy was guarded and fighting with the bandits, but the bandits were outnumbered, and the convoy was not in good shape.
To be honest, when Liu Bei heard the outpost team say that they had found that there were mountain bandits robbing a convoy, he felt that this was the normal Han Dynasty, and instead felt that this was the truly normal Han Dynasty.
The previous smooth journey seemed a little abnormal to him.
Is it normal for no mountain bandits and strongmen to block the road and rob in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?
If the world is really so stable, how can the Huanghuang Han come to an end?
"Big brother, what should we do?"
Zhang Fei looked warn, rode a horse to Liu Bei's side, and asked Liu Bei what he planned next.
Of course, Liu Bei knew what Zhang Fei meant.
This guy has never been a peaceful master, and after following Lu Zhi to the battlefield twice, he ignited the warlike fire in his bones, but he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and when he heard that he could do it, he was happier than marrying a wife and sleeping.
Of course, Liu Bei is not a peaceful master.
"The so-called road is uneven and roars, when it is time to shoot, mountain bandits, no matter when they want to suppress, today they can rob this caravan, tomorrow if they don't do it well, they will shoot at us, since I am filial piety to the country, I must contribute to the country! Exterminate! It must be suppressed! ”
Liu Bei gave an order.
Then everyone immediately got ready.
Liu Hui, a clerk-like character with no force, immediately boarded a truck and hid to avoid becoming a burden to everyone, and he was still very conscious of this.
Liu Yong and Liu Sheng, two brave and ruthless young men of the Liu clan, brought eight knights around the convoy of family members to protect their families.
Zhang Fei took the remaining more than 30 knights to prepare for battle.
Liu Bei boarded the family car and said hello to Han Ning and Han Xiaodie.
"There are some bandits in front of you who are not long-sighted, when I go and exterminate them, let's continue on the road, you stay here, just in the car, don't go anywhere."
"Will it be dangerous?"
Han Ning was very worried, and grabbed Liu Bei's hand: "It's okay to ask Yide to go, right?" Lang Jun still don't go. ”
"No, I'm the leader, and I should be at the front."
Liu Bei shook his head and smiled again: "Don't worry, I have been fighting since I was a child, and I have already experienced life and death, these bandits are not a problem, you two protect yourself." ”
After speaking, Liu Bei left the carriage, got on the horse with a knife, and charged away with Zhang Fei.
It should be said or not, horseback riding is a real technical job these days, and the technical requirements are very high.
Because there are no stirrups and Takahashi saddles on the horses, there are only simple protective gear and unilateral stirrups set up to make it easier to get on the horse.
Once the knight is on the horse, he has to control the direction of the horse by the reins, and use his legs to clamp the horse's belly to maintain the balance of the body, which requires a very high level of leg strength.
It's even more difficult to fight right away.
Generally, cavalrymen could only use one-handed swords or specially made hand crossbows, and only the most powerful and specially trained elite cavalry could use spears or bows.
At that time, the Huns relied on one-handed riding and archery kung fu to crisscross the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty.
Aside from these, horseback riding also wears out a lot of clothing, especially pants, and often wears out the pants on the inner thighs when riding, and even the skin can be worn out, and the bloody piece looks very embarrassing.
Because the skin is worn out and hurts, so when you get off the horse and walk, you have to walk with your legs apart, swinging like a penguin, and the posture is very indecent, which makes people shake their heads.
It can't be helped, this is the price that humans had to pay in pursuit of speed in the era of the former Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups.
As a man who pursues speed, Liu Bei has already crossed this hurdle in his heart.
When he was learning to ride a horse earlier, his inner thigh was worn and injured many times, and the wound healed many times, so the skin of that piece was particularly rough, and the muscles of that piece were also very tight and very wear-resistant.
Coincidentally, Liu Bei's subordinates are also like this, the muscles on the inner thighs are very strong, and the skin is very rough and wear-resistant.
Not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, non-combatants like Jian Yong and Liu Hui are the same, in order to exercise their riding skills and ride horses well, the skin on everyone's inner thighs is very rough, and the muscles are strong and hard.
Liu Bei and his subordinates have a good relationship, and often use physical contact to enhance the relationship, such as when taking a bath together, everyone often compares the roughness of each other's inner thigh skin and the firmness of the muscles.
In a group of people, the skin on Zhang Fei's inner thighs was the roughest, while Guan Yu's muscles were the hardest.
If you want to talk about comprehensiveness, it is Liu Bei who has the strongest comprehensive quality, which is inseparable from his earliest contact with war horses and horsemanship.
It is worth mentioning that the inner thigh muscles of the pull are the most elastic and of high quality, which Liu Bei personally verified.
Needless to say, the friendship between men naturally did not need to be said, Liu Bei gave an order, and brought thirty Youzhou Han knights to roar, and rushed to charge the scattered bandits with an indomitable momentum.
The bandits were caught off guard and were killed in front of the imminent Liu Bei knights.
Liu Bei was holding a ring-headed knife, his eyes were quick, and he cut off the head of a bandit in front of him with a wave of his hand.
The bandit's head fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, and the headless corpse spurted a large amount of blood like a fountain before crashing to the ground.
Such a scene reproduced in large numbers, and the knights of Liu Bei's knights swung their knives into the bandits, and with a wave of their hands, a human head fell to the ground, and then a knife separated their heads.
The blood gushing out, like the apocalyptic scene, will bring a great visual impact to people, and the little timid will be frightened into incontinence, and even go insane.
However, this is the cruelty of this era.
Nineteen-year-old Liu Bei has long been accustomed to this.
Whether it is a street fight or a killing in the starry night, this is what he had to do in order to survive in Youzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he had to get used to it.
In addition to the decapitated bandits, there were also some unlucky bandits who were directly knocked into the flying by the galloping war horses, and flew sideways for more than a foot before they could land on the ground, groaning in pain.
The impact of the war horses is extremely terrifying, not to mention that they have not formed a formation, no shield, no spear, as soon as the horses came, a large number of bandits were knocked into the air, trampled to death.
The advantage of cavalry over unformed foot soldiers is vividly demonstrated.
The bandits were suddenly attacked, although the number was significantly larger than Liu Bei's knights, but they were quickly collapsed by such an impact, and immediately did not care about the robbery, nor the orders of the king of the mountain, they immediately howled and scattered in all directions, and each fled for his life.
Or a rabble!
That's better to deal with, they really want to gather together and unite with the outside world, and they can also bring some trouble to the cavalry, but this messy escape all over the mountains is simply a live target in the eyes of the cavalry.
Liu Bei spotted a tall and unusually dressed guy, rode away, galloped in front of him, raised the ring knife in his hand and slashed down, and a huge head fell to the ground in an instant.
This is probably a mountain bandit leader, as soon as he died, the surrounding mountain bandits howled in panic, as if they had died of their parents.
So this skirmish was soon over, Liu Bei successfully defeated a team of more than 200 mountain bandits through the battle, everyone killed more than 40 people, and the other bandits all fled.
Liu Bei didn't have the idea of chasing and capturing them, just if this was a military exercise, it would be almost the same to drive them all away, as for the people who were saved, he didn't have any ideas himself, he roared when he saw injustice, he shot when it was time to shoot, and by the way, he trained the troops, that's all.
However, the rescued team members obviously didn't think so, and the young man who led the way came to thank Liu Bei in person.
"In Xia Zhen Yan, the word Ziya, a person from Wuji County, Zhongshan Country, my father is Cai Ling Zhen Yi, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Good guys, Wuji Zhen?
It was a wealthy family of the Zhongshan Kingdom with a hereditary inheritance of 2,000 stones.
Liu Bei looked the man who claimed to be Zhen Yan up and down, and was a little surprised.
"After Liu Bei, the word Xuande, a person from Zhuo County, and Emperor Xiaojing."
"It turned out to be a member of the Han family."
Zhen Yan bowed respectfully and said: "This time I suffered a catastrophe in the next place, if it wasn't for Brother Xuande to help, I am afraid that I would have been killed, the grace of saving my life, remember it in my heart, there will be a good reward!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help."
Liu Bei wiped the blood on his face and grinned: "Besides, this mountain bandit must be exterminated at any time, since he is a member of the Han family, of course he must serve the country and kill the mountain bandits." ”
