Chapter 123: The Left Guard Barbarian

"Well, the eldest brother is not an outsider, and the younger brother will not hide it from you. In fact, this is a family heirloom martial art practiced by the younger brother, and when practiced to a high depth, it can indeed be invulnerable!"

"Really, can you teach me?" Xie Datou's eyes lit up.

"Well, this ......" Xiao Yunhe was embarrassed.

"Alas, I was reckless, this must be a secret in your family, and it will definitely not be passed on, it doesn't matter, it's okay, I'll go first......" Xie Datou was very "understanding", but the disappointed expression on his face couldn't be concealed.

"Actually...... It's not so embarrassing......" Xiao Yunhe has made another big turn.

"Really, I can learn too?" Xie Datou immediately came over again, his face full of anticipation.

"It can be, but cultivating this martial art requires a lot of hardship......" Xiao Yunhe wanted to say and stopped.

"I'm not afraid of this! I don't have any other abilities to endure hardships, that's my greatest advantage!" For this magical martial arts, Xie Datou almost slapped his chest.

"To practice this martial art, you have to practice hard for two hours every day, and you can't rest in between!" Xiao Yunhe became more and more into the play.

"No problem! I won't sleep at night from now on!" Xie Datou said confidently.

"I have to hit my body with a wooden stick 300 times a day, and for the first three months, I will bruise all over my body every day, and the pain will be unbearable!" Xiao Yunhe was kind and seductive.

"Huh?" Xie Datou's expression was a little sluggish.

"Within ten years, you must maintain your childlike body, you can't get close to women, and you can't look at beautiful women twice!" Xiao Yunhe said amazingly.

“......”

The expression on Xie Datou's face was unpredictable and looked very entangled, and Xiao Yunhe couldn't bear the smile in his stomach and endured it very hard.

"Brother, it seems that being an elder brother really doesn't have that talent, such a challenging martial arts, it's better for you to practice alone, brother! Family martial arts, or your own family cultivation, I, an outsider, will not mix!" After a long time, Xie Datou reluctantly squeezed out a smile, patted Xiao Yunhe's shoulder, and walked out dejectedly.

Seeing that he had been walking out for several steps, Xiao Yunhe suddenly remembered that this seemed to be a little doubtful.

"Big brother, you came to me, what should be the matter?"

"Huh?" Xie Datou turned to look at Xiao Yunhe, his eyes rolled for a long time before he remembered the original intention of his trip, "Oh, it's the front and it's lively again, I'm afraid that you will be bored on the first day, and I want to ask you to go and see it together!"

"Lively, what's lively?" Xiao Yunhe really couldn't think of anything lively and beautiful in this barracks.

"You can come with me to take a look!" As soon as he said this, Xie Datou, who was in a depressed mood, had a glint in his eyes again, and hurriedly ran back to grab Xiao Yunhe's hand, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he pulled him and ran forward.

"I haven't finished my work yet! If Brother Lu knows, I'll be miserable!" Xiao Yunhe is not a gossip who likes to watch the excitement.

"It's okay, it's okay! We're in the back camp now, as long as we don't go out of line, it's okay to order it casually! Besides, Brother Lu, I'm also watching from the front now! Come with me, this kind of excitement is not something you can see every day!" Xiao Yunhe's protest was directly rejected by Xie Datou, and he ran forward with him.

Xiao Yunhe followed behind with a bitter face, leaving only a wry smile.

Running all the way like chasing the wind, Xie Datou pulled Xiao Yunhe all the way forward, and saw a lot of soldiers hurrying like two people along the way, all rushing in one direction.

It seems that what Xie Datou said just now is really like this.

This rear camp is really not as strict as I thought it was before!

After some idle thinking, before the result was reached, Xie Datou in front had already stopped.

In front, it was already crowded with people. Standing on the periphery, I couldn't see what was going on inside.

Xie Datou pulled Xiao Yunhe, deftly shuttled back and forth in the crowd, drilling in and out of the narrow gaps between the crowds, and finally got to the front of the crowd very smoothly.

Xiao Yunhe didn't see that this Xie Datou, who had mediocre martial arts, still had such dexterous skills, and he couldn't help but feel impressed.

"Have you ever seen a barbarian?"

"Barbarian?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of Xie Datou's finger, and anger suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In front, the few people in strange costumes and riding horses were the barbarians that Xiao Yunhe had never forgotten.

With a shiny scalp, a colorful animal skin coat, and the iconic scimitar at the waist, these people are obviously the signature dress of the barbarians.

Seeing these people again, Xiao Yunhe's mind suddenly appeared the human tragedies he had seen along the way.

The anger in his chest burned, and Xiao Yunhe stepped on his front foot and was about to step forward.

Xie Datou hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

"They're barbarians!" Xiao Yunhe said angrily.

"I know, I still pointed it out to you!" Xie Datou nodded, but he didn't know what Xiao Yunhe meant by this.

"They're barbarians!" Xiao Yunhe repeated in an accentuated tone.

"I know!" Xie Datou looked at Xiao Yunhe innocently.

"They're barbarians, don't you have anything to say?" Looking at Xie Datou's slow and innocent expression, Xiao Yunhe had the urge to beat him up.

"They seem to have grown a little taller than before!" Xie Datou stretched out his hand and gestured, and came to such a conclusion.

"I'm about to be by you! These barbarians are burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil in the northern frontier, and now they have thrown themselves into the net, can you still watch the excitement here with peace of mind?" Xiao Yunhe was very angry at Xie Datou's calm as usual.

"I said, Brother Yunhe, you really need to watch and study hard!, otherwise, you will have to make a big disaster!" Xie Datou looked at Xiao Yunhe with a smile and pulled him closer to him.

"They're barbarians, but they're not the same as the barbarians you know. Xie Datou explained earnestly.

"What's the difference?" Xiao Yunhe said disapprerovingly.

"Those god-damned barbarians, they really deserve to die, if Lao Tzu sees it, he will be the first to rush up and chop off their heads!" As he spoke, Xie Datou actually used one of the most commonly used words in Shan Zhen, and he didn't know if this was considered an upward and downward effect.

"So what's different about them? Isn't it none of their business?"

"They are also barbarians, but not only did they not participate in those burning, killing and looting, but they are people who stand on the same front as us, and like us, they are also part of the Left Guard!" Xie Datou told a shocking fact.

"They're also the Left Guards, what's going on?" Xiao Yunhe almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

The Left Guards have always been called the "nemesis of the barbarians", but why have even the barbarians become part of the Left Guards now? Can a mouse become a cat?

"The Left Guard, in addition to our front and rear battalions, there is also an army of barbarians, that is, them. Most of them were captured in previous battles, or some of them had fled to the interior. The general has incorporated all the young and middle-aged among them, and has formed such a barbarian army, which also belongs to the establishment of the Left Guard Army, and we are comrades in the trench!" Xie Datou patiently explained.

"Barbarian comrades-in-arms?" Xiao Yunhe's anger subsided, but his face was still full of disapproval, "Our own people are enough, what else do we recruit these barbarians for?" These people and those barbarians are of the same race, if we really fight, where will they really help us turn against each other?"

"Hey, that's a good thing, but it's wrong! These people have been formed for several years, and every time they start a battle, they kill the barbarians more fiercely than we do! Don't look down on them, when it comes to horseback and archery skills, we really can't compare to this group of native barbarians!"

"Not necessarily, right? We have millions of people in the whole group, where can't we recruit good soldiers, so we have to find these barbarians with evil intentions? Besides, if they are so powerful, how can they be suppressed by us all the time and dare not go south? I really don't know what the general thinks!" Xiao Yunhe's bad impression of barbarians in his heart is difficult to eliminate, even if he knows that the other party is a friend or foe, he will not change his original intention.

"Be quiet!" Xie Datou was taken aback by Xiao Yunhe's words and deeds, and almost didn't rush up to cover Xiao Yunhe's mouth.

"You be quiet, you dare to say bad things about the general, you don't want to live anymore?" Xie Datou looked left and right, and everyone noticed this, before he lowered his voice and reprimanded.

"What can you do?" Xiao Yunhe knew that this "great general" was not referring to Shan Zhen but to Yu Wenxuan, but he didn't feel that there was anything to scruple about in his heart.

The two of them got along all the way, and Xiao Yunhe could feel that the other party was definitely not the kind of person who was small-bellied and calculating.

"The general won't bother with you, a nobody, but if other brothers hear it, they have to come up and beat you all over the place!"

"Is there such a strict zhòng?" Xiao Yunhe Yan zhòng doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

"The Great General is the protector of our thirteen counties in northern Xinjiang, and it is with him that we people can survive until now. Everyone respects the general very much, I don't hear it if the relationship between the two of us is good, next time, let me hear it, I won't be the first to spare you!" Xie Datou said very strictly.

"Oh!" Looking at Xie Datou's unprecedentedly strict expression, Xiao Yunhe could only nod.

"Look, they're going to fight!" Xie Datou was really not a strict person, and the expression on his face didn't last long before he regained his previous shocked appearance.

Xiao Yunhe turned his head to look, no, there was really a fight in front.

The two horses, the people on the horses were barbarians, and their attire and weapons were unique and easily recognizable.

And on the other horse, the person who sat was dressed as a soldier of the Left Guard. Dressed in light armor and holding a spear in his hand, he was confronting the Manchurians who were eyeing him on the opposite side.

"Aren't they also members of the Left Guard, why are they still fighting?" Xiao Yunhe asked strangely.

"It's not a real fight, it's a competition. At this time of year, there is also a barbarian camp in the front and rear camps, and there is a round of competition between the three parties. Each side has a recruit who has been in the army for less than a year, and he has won three games in a row, and he has won two games in three games.

"Recruits, aren't they the weakest? Why not find stronger veterans?"

"The purpose of the competition is not to win, but to motivate everyone to train harder, practice their skills, and go to the battlefield in the coming day, so that they can better save their lives and kill more enemies at the same time! If it is simply to win the competition, then only a few fixed people can play every year, and no one else can participate, and the competition will be meaningless. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such an insight, big brother!" Xiao Yunhe exclaimed.

"Where, where!" Xie Datou's face was full of embarrassment, and he scratched his brain, "Actually, this is what the general told us, I just repeated it for him, and I came up with such a profound truth myself!"

"Since only recruits can participate, then ...... Can I go up and try it?" the two people on the field had not yet started fighting, and Xiao Yunhe said eagerly.

"You're crazy, aren't you?

"What's wrong with me? Am I not a recruit?"

"Of course you are a recruit, but you have been in the army for less than two days, and you haven't learned anything, what are you going up to do? Although this kind of competition will not kill anyone, but you kid go up, it doesn't matter if you make a fool of yourself, our rear battalion has lost the competition, so it's okay? You can honestly watch the excitement here, you can think about the things on the field!" Xie Datou ruthlessly hit Xiao Yunhe.

"Am I that bad?" Xiao Yunhe cried out.

Xie Datou snorted and scoffed at this.

Xiao Yunhe couldn't, so he could only stand beside Xie Datou and watch the two people on the field compete.

The two people on the field no longer maintained a confrontation, the two people carefully controlled the war horse under the crotch, around the perimeter of the square, separated by a distance of 100 meters, and began to circle in circles, each circle, the speed of the two horses increased by a few points.

Xiao Yunhe clenched his fists tightly and watched the competition in the factory with full attention.

He has seen and participated in a lot of martial arts competitions, but this is the first time he has seen a real military competition.

"Here we go!" someone next to him whispered.

Sure enough, the two knights who were circling in a circle finally stopped circling in circles and began to sprint towards the middle.

On the side of the rear camp, the knight stepped on his stirrups with his feet and his spear in both hands, facing the enemy in front of him. Although the tip of the spear was cut off, and only a layer of lime-stained cloth was wrapped on it, the man took advantage of the horse's momentum, and this charge also had extraordinary power.

On the other hand, the other party was also holding a spear of the same standard as him, and the iconic scimitar was stuck in his waist and was not pulled out.

After all, this is a hedge between cavalry. The long weapon is the most suitable weapon for cavalry charge, and the scimitar is only suitable for pulling out when it loses the speed of the charge and turns into a short encounter.

The speed of both of them is amazing, and the distance of 100 meters is instantaneous.

The two of them rushed together, one staggered, and then staggered again.

Both men ran towards the periphery at the same time, until they reached the front edge of the crowd before stopping.

The two of them were still sitting upright in the saddle, and began a new round of circle action.

Xiao Yunhe's eyes were sharp, and he could see clearly that there was an extra white spot on the right shoulder of the barbarian knight and on the left arm of the rear camp knight.

When the two of them rushed together just now, the spears in their hands stabbed each other. It's just that due to the speed and position of the two sides of the dodge, the parts that are stabbed are also different.

But judging from the position of the two of them, it seems that the knight in the back camp has a slight upper hand.

Xiao Yunhe was a little relieved.

It didn't take long for the two to start a new round of hedging.

The two hedged together in the same way again, but this time, a different outcome happened.

The moment the two horses collided together, the barbarian knight suddenly threw away the spear in his hand, bent down to avoid the blade stabbed by the other party, and actually jumped onto the horse of the knight in the back camp in a flash.

This sudden change caught the rear camp knight a little off guard. Seeing that the other party had fallen behind his back, his two hands were still clutching at the spear, and one flipped and wanted to turn and stab the enemy behind him.

But he forgot that the spear was a long weapon, and it was infinitely powerful when it was on a horse, but once it was time for hand-to-hand combat, the spear became a burden.

Before he could pull back the spear that had been stabbed, the barbarian knight behind him had already stretched out his arms and hugged him firmly.

His hands were restrained, and the knight of the rear camp struggled with him, and the horse under his crotch swirled around with him.

But his two hands are still not free from the spear, as a cavalryman, he is very dependent on weapons, in the panic, his instinctive reaction is still to hold on to the weapon, even in the current situation, the weapon in his hand not only does not play the slightest role, but also restricts his hands, he also lets go every day.

And this also determines his ultimate fate.

The figures of the two people were entangled together, and the barbarian knight had both hands to use, and he was the active attacker, and after several rounds of hugging, his hands strangled the two arms of the other party from his shoulders.

At this time, the knight of the rear camp was still reluctant to let go.

Given a godsend, the barbarian knight slammed the tip of his left elbow inward, striking the opponent's soft and fragile left ribs.

The knight of the rear camp turned pale, the strength of his whole body was loosened, and before he could make the next reaction, the barbarian knight had already picked him up with both hands, but sitting on the horse did not affect the flexibility of the shot, and a fall over the shoulder threw the knight of the rear camp to the ground.

Ironically, at this time, he was still holding the spear in his hand.

He fell heavily to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

The barbarian knight, on the other hand, sat on his horse and flaunted his might, circling back and forth around the center of the field.
