Chapter 54: Martial Arts
Tianci rode to the gate of the General Army's Mansion, where a large group of young and middle-aged people were crowded, there were hundreds of people, many people with luggage packages, it seemed that most of them were refugees from the north, everyone was crowded on both sides of the General Army's gate, looking at the conscription notices posted on both walls.
After the heavens got off the horse, he led the horse into the crowd, and came to the front of the notice, and saw that it was written the policy of conscription, and the content was so great that anyone who served in the army could receive a one-time reward of two taels of silver and three buckets of rice, and the term of service was two years. It is also written on the back what treatment is if you die on the battlefield, what is the treatment if you are wounded and demobilized, and so on.
Everyone was looking at the notice and discussing it, when the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion opened, and dozens of officers and soldiers came out, lined up on both sides of the gate. A few more soldiers came out carrying three tables and a few chairs and placed them on either side of the gate.
The soldiers also came to the square in three queues, separated the crowd into three queues, and lined up at three tables to wait for registration. Three more officers and three more people came to the table and sat down, and then asked people to sign up in turn.
After the applicant registered his name, place of origin and his own strengths, he took the pulse in Langzhong, and even if he passed if there was no problem, he received a number plate and entered the courtyard of the General Army's Mansion.
Tianci chose a line to wait patiently at the back, and it was his turn in a while.
After reporting his name and place of origin, the officer asked him, "Will your horse join the army with you?"
"Yes, sir, the little ones are better at riding and shooting. God replied.
"Oh, but we only recruit infantry here, you have to bring a horse, of course you can, but you can suffer a loss, I think this horse will be sold for a dozen taels of silver, if you join the army, even if it is donated to the army." ”
"It's okay, as long as you can go to war with me. ”
After passing the pulse, he was given a piece of paper with "C-5" written on it, and Tianci took the piece of paper to the house, and followed everyone to line up to receive a set of military uniforms, a piece of silver and three buckets of rice food stamps. After receiving these, let everyone go to the side arena from the side door to assemble.
When Tianci came to the arena, he saw that there were already nearly a thousand people here, divided into several piles. There were also several flags planted on the field, with numbers written on them. Tianci found the "C-5" flag and walked over.
In the "C-5" area, there are already more than 100 people, who are gathering in a circle, shouting and shouting, which is very lively. Tianci took a closer look, there were two people in the circle fighting, a big man was holding a young man with a little bit of a head by the waist, turning back, and slamming the man to the ground, before the man could stand up, the big man kicked on the man's left shoulder, kicking him out more than a foot away.
Amid the loud laughter of the crowd, the little man got up from the ground and retreated in a huff. The big man raised his right fist and waved, "Which one else, come!" He turned around, pointed to the three people standing on the side, and said, "Are you all left? Let's just go up together, so as not to lose time." ”
The three people standing on the side were originally a little afraid, but when they heard the big man's wild words, they were very unconvinced, so they rolled up their sleeves and pounced on the big man together.
Tianci asked the people next to him, "What are they doing here?"
"They are testing their martial arts, the officer said, we are more than 100 people, and there is still a deputy captain, so that everyone can compete with martial arts, whoever can win, will be the deputy captain. The man next to him told him, "This big man has already defeated five people, and there are three left, and it seems that none of them are his opponents." ”
Tianci saw that the four people were fighting in the middle, and the big man seemed to gradually gain the upper hand, and the three people seemed to be a little struggling.
At this moment, a man who looked like an officer came over on horseback, stood in the field and watched the battle, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.
After a while, the victory and defeat on the field have been divided, the big man lifted a person up and threw it out, and reflexively smashed a fist on the face door of the person behind him, the man let out a scream, and immediately fell to the ground, the big man turned around and faced the last person, the man saw that the general trend was about to go, so he had to spread his hands and say that he had surrendered.
The sergeant on horseback came to the middle of the field and shouted to the surroundings, "Who else? Is there anyone else who is willing to come out and challenge?" After asking three times, he turned to the big man and said, "Okay, Liu Jiujin, this lieutenant is you." As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Tianci standing outside the crowd with a horse, and beckoned Tianci to come forward.
Tianci didn't know what he wanted, so he had to lead the horse and walk forward. The officer said to him, "Is this the horse you brought?"
"Yes"
"Then hand over the horse to Deputy Lieutenant Liu, and it will be his mount from now on. ”
"But this is the horse I brought, why should I give it to him to ride?"
"Without further ado, this is an infantry unit, only officers can ride horses, you just have to hand over the horses. ”
"Oh, that's. I want to compete with him, doesn't it mean that whoever can win the competition can become an official? I haven't competed with him yet, so why did he become an official? ”
The officer was about to say something, but the big man stepped forward and said, "This is easy to say, let me try with him again, and it won't delay any effort." ”
The officer saw that the big man wanted to take the opportunity to teach this kid a lesson, so he didn't say more, so he had to agree, and said loudly: "Then you will have a good life, there is no joke in the army, and you don't need to show mercy to your subordinates." ”
At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the godsend, thinking that if this afterlife hurt their lives for a horse, it was not worth it. An older soldier stepped forward and said, "The contest is up to the point, you don't have to hurt your brother's life, you two had better tell you how to decide whether you win or lose, just divide the winner and lose, and don't fight for your life." As he spoke, he gave a look to heaven.
Tianci understood what the veteran meant, so he said to the big man: "Yes, how can you count yourself as losing, how can you count yourself as winning?"
"Don't bother, beat you to your knees and beg for mercy, even if I win. As he spoke, the big man punched straight to the door of the heavens.
Tianci has seen the boxing method of the Han just now, it is a more authentic set of long boxing, it seems that it has been practiced seriously, and there is also some kung fu. When he saw the punch coming, he just tilted his head slightly, raised his left shoulder up, and leaned on the big man's arm, and the big man only felt that there was a force to push him to the side, not only did the punch empty, but his body also threw himself to the side, and he almost didn't stand.
"Then what if you don't die and beg for mercy? I don't want to kill you. Tianci asked.
The big man was a little embarrassed and angry, and said loudly: "Don't be long-winded, whoever is beaten to the ground first will lose!" Without finishing speaking, he raised his leg and beckoned to the crotch of God.
When Tianci saw him raise his legs, he didn't dodge, but took a step forward, got close to the big man, and clamped it on the thigh that the big man had just lifted with his double retreat. The big man's script is to exert force on the toes, I don't want to lift the legs yet, but the heavens who leaned on the body used his legs to clamp his thighs, he stood on one leg, trying to pull his legs back, and he couldn't use his strength, and he was very embarrassed for a while.
"Is that so?" asked Tianci.
"What?" the big man didn't know what he meant. Who knew that after Tianci finished speaking, he turned around on the spot, and suddenly turned around with the thighs of the big man, and the big man couldn't stand, his body was thrown out, and he fell to the ground on all fours.
"That's it, even if you lose?" Tianci stood behind the big man, still asking.
Although the big man was not injured at all, he was suddenly thrown for no reason, and he was very angry, he stood up and shouted: "Forget it, forget it, but we are three wins and two wins and losers!"
Tianci clasped his hands into fists and said, "Then admit it, count me as winning a game." ”
The big man really couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about how he fell to the ground inexplicably before he did anything just now. Thinking of this, he was angry, exhaled a deep breath, exerted all the strength of his body, and pounced on the heavens.
