Chapter Eighty-Seven: May Soldiers and Horses Become Generals to Ride
Both of them have already played a real fire, and they have used killing tricks to ruthlessly call each other's vital points. The overflowing strength of the moves blew the dead leaves flying, and the ground was full of sunken footprints.
Even Zhu Zhanlong, who didn't know martial arts, could see that these two people were desperate, and the prince asked Wang Hedao: "Do you want them to stop?" ”
The reason why the prince asked the two eunuchs and Wang Fu'er to be witnesses is for this reason, if there is danger, with their martial arts, they can separate Lao Meng and Wu Chang.
Wang He said calmly: "No, it's not in the way." "The eunuch Wang's mouth is not in the way, as long as the limbs are constantly mutilated, there is no danger to life, it is nothing.
Wang He has been consulting the Xuanyang Sutra, and Lao Meng has also learned the martial arts in the scriptures, and he has made moves with Wu Chang, just so that Eunuch Wang can refer to it. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Wang He will definitely not advise the prince to stop.
Wang Fu'er, who had been quietly watching the competition, did not say anything to dissuade him, although Lao Meng and Wu Chang fought fiercely, but it was not yet at the juncture of winning or losing, but in Wang Jiaoxi's opinion, Meng Yishan's situation gradually began to be bad.
Lao Meng's move was to go all the way, and after moving for so long, even though the internal strength was enough, the physical strength began to be unbearable. As long as Wu Chang can hold it steadily, hold on until Meng Yishan's breathing is uneven, and then attack with a fast sword, then he will win the battle.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred and ten moves passed, both sides were both offensive and defensive, and neither could help the other party, Meng Yishan found that his strength began to be insufficient.
The more Lao Meng was bad, the more fierce he became, in order to hide his situation, he slashed a few times, and the offensive was more ruthless than Fang Cai. The beating made Wu Chang cry bitterly. The heart said how could this guy's strength be so long.
After another ten moves, seeing that he couldn't defeat Wu Chang, Meng Yishan tried his best to make two swords in a row, forcing the opponent away, and laughed: "How about a draw!" ”
Wu Chang's lips moved, and just as he was about to speak, Meng Yishan suddenly attacked with a knife! General Wu was always on guard against Lao Meng, although this sudden knife was fast, but he also flashed by him, Lao Meng's move was empty, and Wu Chang seized the opportunity to brush it! The three swords slashed back, forcing him into the sword.
Lao Meng wanted to talk about peace, and then wave a knife to sneak attack, but he didn't expect to be counted if he didn't succeed, so don't mention the depression in his heart.
Wu Chang's wrist vibrated continuously, the sword aura was full of sky, Meng Yishan swung his knife to meet the battle, retreated while fighting, and could not get back the first move, so he had to use the Fubo knife technique taught by the abbot of Guangqin, and set up a Daodao knife net in front of him, barely holding the door.
This way, the Fubo knife secretly conspires with the hexagram, not seeking to hurt the enemy, but seeking self-protection, and trying his best to defend the palace, Ren is Wu Chang's fast sword like lightning, and he can't break the knife move that Lao Meng Shui can't splash.
Wu Chang swung his sword to attack, and at the same time stimulated Lao Meng Dao: "Just defend and not attack, so you don't have the guts." ”
Lao Meng scolded: "I'll go to your grandmother!" "Just trying to hold on. The heart said: "Don't want to lure Lao Tzu to make a move." ”
After more than three hundred moves, Lao Meng's physical strength was seriously insufficient, and his sword technique began to slow down, revealing a lot of gaps that were enough to attack. Wu Chang didn't seize the opportunity to break the enemy, he was not much easier than Lao Meng, the hand holding the sword was so tired that he trembled slightly, and the lightning fast sword was now a slow sword.
Neither of them dared to attack quickly, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other party, so they had to slowly disassemble one move at a time, striving to tire the other party down first, even if they won.
It was getting dark, and it was almost night. King Yi, who was watching the battle, could no longer see the faces of the two people in the field clearly, and the prince stood up and said, "Let them stop." ”
Wang He walked into the arena, popped out a finger, easily knocked down Wu Chang's sword, and held down Lao Meng's broken saber with his backhand. said: "It's time to stop!" ”
Lao Meng was so tired that he was panting, but he shouted in his mouth: "After another hundred rounds, Lao Tzu must cut down this guy." ”
Wu Chang sneered again and again, quite unconvinced. He was tired and didn't have the strength to sneer at Lao Meng.
Zhu Zhanlong called the two over and said solemnly: "Since there is no difference between victory and defeat, according to the previous ruling of this king, Meng Inspector will pay the silver to the dead honor guards." The matter cannot be mentioned again. ”
Meng Yishan agreed, and said bluntly: "The prince is wise!" ”
Wu Chang was secretly annoyed in his heart, but his face was silent, and he calmly accepted the prince's decision.
It was already dark, and King Yi set up a banquet again, and Wang Fuer and Wang He accompanied him.
During the banquet, King Yi wanted to ease the relationship between Lao Meng and Wu Chang, and there were many words for them to help each other, but the two were on the same page, Lao Meng refused to hand over the murderer, and cut General Wu's imperial sword. Wu Chang hated Meng Yishan to death, and this feud was big.
After Wu Chang drank two glasses of wine, he stood up abruptly and said to King Yi: "Lord Wang, I have something to ask for your permission. ”
King Yi smiled: "Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Wu Chang's white face was red with drunkenness, and he said, "I have learned Master Meng's martial arts this time, and I am really smart. But no matter how good the martial arts are, it is useless to attack and kill in the battle array. ”
Ignoring Lao Meng's angry glares at him, Wu Chang proposed to King Yi: "I heard that Lord Meng's inspection division is strong and strong, and Wu's honor guard warriors can also be called well-trained. Please ask the prince to agree, the Honor and Guard Division and the Inspection Department will conduct a drill to test the marching formation. ”
"Oh," King Yi was obviously interested, and said, "How is this going to be competitive?" ”
Wu Chang said happily: "Each side leads an army, and the number is limited to five hundred. Each placed a flag in the Chinese army, and whose military flag was taken away by the other party first. Even if you lose. ”
King Yi nodded and said, "That's very good! Is Yishan willing to compete with General Wu? ”
Lao Meng Xindao Wu Chang said in front of King Yi, when he talked about trying to lead troops to fight, he was obviously bullying himself for not being able to lead troops. How do the rabble of the Inspection Division fight against the well-trained royal army? It's like an egg hitting a stone.
Lao Meng stubbornly said: "Well, my subordinates are untrained, and it is difficult to defeat the elite of the prince. ”
Wu Chang looked at him contemptuously, thinking that he had finally killed the arrogance surnamed Meng.
King Yi said with a displeased face: "How can you be cowardly before you fight? ”
Meng Yishan said perfunctorily: "Lao Meng is good at fighting, and his subordinates are all patrol officers, mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. How can you defeat the king's elite soldiers. It's just a meat bun beating a dog. ”
The implication is that his ability is stronger than Wu Chang, but his subordinates are useless.
Zhu Zhanlong said with a smile: "What you said also has some truth, since this is the case, don't use the manpower of the Inspection Division." This king will lend you an army equivalent to the Honor Guard, and you will practice for a few days, and then you will be able to meet the battle. ”
"Behave well and let this king see what you are capable of!" The prince said undoubtedly.
Lao Meng Xin said, "This depends on my ability, and it is clear that I want to repair Lao Tzu." Even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to say, "Obey the order!" ”
At this time, Wang Jiaoxi stood up and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that it is best to allocate the palace guards to the Meng Jian envoys, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is definitely not inferior to the honor guards." It is precisely because of the equal strength that this battle is exciting. "He's the chief instructor of the Guards, and he wants to show the face of the army he has trained.
The prince thought about it for a moment and nodded. said to Meng Yishan: "Then pick five hundred guards and hand them over to you for the time being." ”
Wu Chang didn't expect that the prince would hand over the guards to Lao Meng's command, but he didn't say anything against it, General Wu thought to himself, "This Meng Yishan has never led an army, and he can't be compared with his own generals and queens, and he will definitely be able to kill him when the time comes." ”
Old Meng Xin said, "Brother Wang! You're really doing me a disservice, and you have to stuff the Iron Guards into me. Grandma's, if you lose the battle with this team of elite soldiers, Lao Tzu's face will be lost. ”
Lao Meng is quite self-aware, his combat experience, in addition to fighting against several officers and soldiers in the Black Tiger Village, the biggest battle is to pick up ready-made cheap when the Yongning soldiers besieged the palace. If you want him to arrange the troops, I really don't understand.
Fighting a tough battle can rely on hard work, but capturing the flag requires strategy. Besides, the palace guards may not necessarily listen to him, and a slight difference in command will affect the victory rate
After thinking about it, Meng Yishan still decided to decline Wang Fu'er's kindness, and said to King Yi: "The prince should change the team to me." ”
Zhu Zhanlong said angrily: "Then what do you want? Is there an army better than the king's guards? Seeing Lao Meng's push, King Yi's anger broke out all of a sudden.
Meng Yishan bowed to the ground and said, "Please hand over a thousand harrier soldiers to me, and after half a month, I will definitely be able to defeat the honor guard!" ”
There is an opportunity in front of him, if the harrier soldiers are asked to come, his strength will increase greatly, as for the capture of the flag, he can only ask Yan Ji to think of a way.
Lao Meng was too eager, which made King Yi's heart have some suspicion, he looked at Meng Yishan and didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Eunuch Wang suddenly said: "The harrier soldiers are unruly and untamable, and Meng Inspector has never led soldiers, so he lacks experience. If you lose in the competition, there will be people below who gossip about the mistake of knowing people! For the sake of everything, it is still not better than it. ”
"Smack!" Zhu Zhanlong slapped the table, shook the cup and pot on it, and said angrily: "The person who this king likes will still be wrong!" ”
King Yi's eagle eyes closed slightly, and he said with a threatening expression: "Meng Yishan, a thousand harrier soldiers will be led by you, and you will be temporarily awarded the title of a thousand households." If we can't win, I'll put the heads of a thousand people on the ground! ”
Meng Yishan hurriedly said: "Old Meng will definitely win!" He asked: "Chitose, please also pardon Yao Wenzhong and Zhang Guangyuan, so as to help me train harrier soldiers." ”
"Well, okay, this king will go to the front of the domain to protect people, if you lose......" Zhu Zhanlong said solemnly, "Don't live up to my trust in you." ”
Lao Meng pinched a handful of cold sweat in his hand and said busily: "I won't let Chitose down." In fact, he was not sure.
Wu Chang sneered and glanced at Lao Meng, then turned to the prince and asked. "I don't know when I can compete? The last general can't wait to meet Master Meng. ”
"Half a month later......," King Yi muttered, "Half a month later, in the West School Field, this king will organize a big competition in the army, and eleven guards in Luoyang, 50,000 troops will participate. ”
The purpose of the prince is not simple, just to see the ability of the two to command the army, and he will not move the army like this.
He was stolen by the Shaolin monk to steal the defense map, the deployment of the army and the location of the granary may have been leaked, in order to make up for the loss, King Yi thought for a long time, ready to gather the army, pre-do a pre-war drill and review. It is good to know the strength of the army under his command.
With preparation, you can preemptively launch at the right time and attack the Beijing Division. Fighting on the territory of the imperial court, the stolen topographic map of Guanluo lost its effectiveness.
When Wu Chang heard about the big competition in the army half a month later, he felt very excited, and thought that he had to sketch out the layout of the capture of the flag battle, and he must defeat Meng Yishan in front of the 50,000 army and make him lose face.
Wu Chang and Meng Yishan glanced at each other and said, "Master Meng, Dabi in half a month depends on your ability." ”
Meng Yishan said coldly: "I must let you see Lao Tzu's art of war!" ”
Wu Chang's smile was even brighter, and he said, "I hope so." ”
After General Wu asked for instructions on the battle to capture the flag, he bowed down and said goodbye to the prince, saying that he would return to the camp to supervise the soldiers of the Honor Guard Division to patrol at night. In fact, there is Meng Yishan here, and he doesn't want to stay longer for a moment.
The prince couldn't keep it, so he allowed it.
After General Wu left, King Yi raised the wine and then feasted with the remaining three.
Only Wang Fu'er frequently raised his glass to respond to the prince, and Lao Meng and Wang He's interest was a little low. Eunuch Wang just drank quietly, no matter how lively and noisy the occasion was, his back was a little lonely.
Meng Yishan was worried about the big competition in the army after half a month, and some of them were not resigned, and they didn't finish drinking three times.
Zhu Zhanlong saw it, and he asked Meng Yishan with a smile: "Yishan, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"Haha, no!" Lao Meng added a bottle of wine to himself and drank it up.
The prince looked at Meng Yishan and said, "I hope you can defeat General Wu." ”
Zhu Zhanlong slowly took a sip of wine, "After the change of dynasty and the change of dynasty of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, abolished the raid on the lords after some heroes of the Taizu period, Wu Chang Wuri does not want to restore the honor and favor of the Haiguo Mansion, and now the world is peaceful, unless he follows the king to make contributions, there is no hope." ”
"This man is a general, but he is too arrogant, if you can outdo him in the march, defeat his arrogance. It's also good for him. ”
Meng Yishan patted his chest and replied: "Don't worry, the prince will definitely beat Wu Chang all over the ground to find teeth!" ”
King Yi smiled and said, "You have to be right about the hard work of the prince," and after speaking, he glanced at Wang He meaningfully. He was provoked by the eunuch Wang and promised to hand over the harrier soldiers to Lao Meng, which will also understand.
Wang He's face was not shocked, and he said calmly: "This is an opportunity for Lord Meng to show his prestige in the army, and it is also a test for him. ”
Zhu Zhanlong nodded, taking the opportunity of capturing the flag this time, just to test Lao Meng's ability, and his pro-army combat strength can also be tested.
But if Meng Yishan is passive and slack, then there will be no prospects. King Yi frowned when he thought of this, simply put aside all his suspicions, and said to Lao Meng: "If you can defeat the honor guard, this king will promote you to the rank of Zhengwupin Xiao cavalry captain, and then add the title of General Wude." Give 10,000 acres of fertile land and 10,000 pearls. ”
"Fuck, fight!" Lao Meng's heart beat wildly, and he was determined to win.
After the banquet, Meng Yishan came out of King Yi's Mansion with joy and sorrow and returned to the Inspection Division. immediately found Mo Kui and said to him: "Grandma's iron bear, you can really cause trouble, and the guards you killed are all officers and soldiers of the Honor Guard Division." ”
Mo Kui touched the back of his head and said, "Big brother! I can't hold my hand for a while......" He asked in a sneering voice, "The prince didn't trouble you, did he?" ”
Meng Yishan snorted angrily: "The prince reprimanded Lao Tzu well. Grandma, next time you clean up, you won't have to complain if you are gone. ”
Mo Kuilian claimed that it was, and said that he didn't expect it for a while.
Meng Yishan lectured before he smiled at Mo Kui: "This time, you killed a few people, which contributed to Lao Tzu's prosperity." ”
Mo Tiexiong was a little confused, and Lao Meng told him about capturing the flag.
As soon as he heard that the prince promised a high-ranking official, Mo Tiexiong immediately rejoiced: "Big brother! If this happens, you become a general, and we will be in the mix. ”
"Hmm!" Meng Yishan proudly promised, "At that time, Lao Tzu will also promote you to be a deputy general, and you will be majestic together!" "It's as if the general is already in his pocket.
Mo Kui excitedly shouted that he wanted to have some wine with his eldest brother to celebrate.
Lao Meng shook his head again and again, and said, "Today's competition with Wu Chang is tired to death." Sleep well first, and when the prince releases the harrier soldiers tomorrow, I will gather them to talk. ”
Meng Yishan sent Mo Kui away, fell on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about Dabi in half a month, the most important thing at present is that the harrier soldiers must obey the order. This has to start with Yao Wenzhong and Zhang Guangyuan. How do you convince them to use it for themselves? It's a bit tricky.
And Wu Chang can't be underestimated, the Wu family of Haiguo Gong has been a general for generations, and the commander of the army must be very strategic. It's really troublesome to compete with such an opponent.
There is only half a month left, and it seems that I need to read some military books, and then ask Gao Hou Ye for advice. This battle to capture the flag must be won, not to mention the attractive official position, if you lose, your status in front of the prince will definitely plummet.
Old Meng Su came to see it, and thought for a while that he would discuss it with Mr. Yan tomorrow, and let Yan Ji go, what are you doing with this.
