Section 52 Exploration of Kongtong Mountain 2
Not to mention the village chief, Lin Xiao looked at it, and they all had the same headache.
Why?
Because although this handsome young warrior was wearing a silver helmet and plain armor, a long sword at his waist, a long lance hanging immediately, and a small pony whip in his hand kept shaking from side to side, he looked majestic, but Lin Xiao could see at a glance that something was wrong: first, the young man did not have an Adam's apple, and second, the young man's chest, cough cough, was really a little bulging.
In this case, compared to this strong man who had been a centurion, he could also see through it at a glance, so Lin Xiao saw that this strong man was bowing in front of the young horse.
It's just that the words that flowed out of the young man's mouth made Lin Xiao almost squirt out.
Nothing else, this young man~ girl's voice said: "Uncle Li, this young master is going to enter the mountain, will you give the way?!"
Although this sounds very polite, but with the girl's voice changed, it was less threatening than seven points, and it became coquettish. A coquettish teenager will give people goosebumps, but a girl dressed as a man, even if she is a vigorous girl, will only make people feel pity. And this girl dressed as a man obviously knew the strong man in front of her, but she didn't know if the strong man was working under the girl's father back then, but when she saw the all-armored cavalry with fifty people next to the girl, she knew that this possibility was ninety percent possible.
Sure enough, Uncle Li, a strong man, said: "Little, oh, that young master, this is the height of summer, the beasts in the mountains are not short of food, if you hunt, not only is it difficult to find, but the mountains are full of snakes and insects, one is not careful, but it is better to wait until the beginning of winter, when the poisonous snakes and insects are hidden, the beasts also have to come out to find food, hunting is also easier to find prey." :
Lin Xiao knew that this was the experience of the strong man Uncle Li, don't look at the girl with a very elite cavalry around her, but when she entered the mountain, she really didn't have to be the opponent of the ordinary villagers of Wulongyan - the professional division of labor was different.
If they reach the plains and grasslands with open terrain, these fifty cavalry will attack, not to mention the same number of villagers' soldiers, even if they are ten times or twenty times more, they will be easily broken through the formation by the cavalry, and then there will be a massacre, and there will be no other situation.
But in the mountains, on this rugged terrain, the cavalry can not be impacted, there is no need to set up any ambush mechanisms such as mixing horses, just a few large and small stones on the mountain road, can make the cavalry unable to gallop, and the maximum combat effectiveness of the cavalry is to rely on the speed of the cavalry, the only thing the cavalry can rely on is their own armor.
But the problem came again, the weight of that armor is not clear, generally more than twenty catties, plus the weapons in the hand, and the current time is midsummer, it is estimated that in less than two hours, these elite cavalry will be exhausted by themselves - you must know that the physical strength of the villagers living in the mountains is generally not worse than that of the elite cavalry, and the martial arts of the government soldiers are also okay. Besides, with the blessing of the terrain, the villagers can use the terrain to divide and surround the cavalry, and then eat it little by little.
That's why if this girl wants to enter the mountain, she must get the consent of the strong man Uncle Li, and of course, you can also see that the girl respects this retired centurion like a relative.
Lin Xiao also has some understanding of the military system of the Central Plains in the Sui and Tang dynasties, since the Han Empire retreated to the south, although many warlords in the north still nominally respect the Han Empire as their suzerain, but in fact they each have all the territorial leadership, whether administrative, military or economic are self-contained, such an environment gave birth to the so-called Jiangmen - also belongs to a kind of family gate valve.
The major generals are constantly cultivating their own strength, starting from the clan and extending to the talented disciples of the Hanmen and the common people outside the clan, and the most prominent generals are often the warlords of a place, and even create a small court to become the lord of the vassal state with the title of liehou, prince or even a certain king.
In fact, this is very similar to the modern society of the Northern and Southern Dynasties until the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the subsequent five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Later Zhou - two Song Dynasty eras, for example, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian is said to be the descendant of the Yang family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the head of the eight major families in Guanxi, and later replaced the Yang family to create the Tang Empire Li Yuan, is another family in Guanxi, and later the so-called "Lingyan Pavilion Twenty-four Heroes" also achieved the representative of the Jiangmen during the founding period of the Tang Empire.
As for the two Song Dynasty, the familiar Yang family general is a typical representative, and the old Taijun She Taijun in the Yang family is actually another general in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it should be Zhen Taijun, as for the high pet who picked the block in "The Biography of Yue Fei", he is a descendant of another Jiangmen Gao family in the founding period of the Northern Song Dynasty.
For example, like the Gao family, the Cao family, which also belonged to the founding generals, had a queen, that is, Empress Cao in the era of Song Renzong, and Song Renzong was the emperor who appointed Fan Zhongyan to carry out the "Qingli New Deal", and he was also the emperor in Bao Qingtian's most active period! Similarly, in the legend of Xianxia Zhiwei, the uncle of Cao Guo in the Eight Immortals was the younger brother of Empress Cao of Song Renzong.
Although Lin Xiao is very familiar with the history of many modern societies, but after all, he is in the world of Xianxia, but it is very different from modern society, the most distinctive thing is that 10,000 years have passed in the era of the gods here, and if it is according to the records of modern society, even if the Zhou Dynasty adds the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is only 800 years old, with a time span of more than 100 times between the coming and going, and there is only the court of the Southern Han Empire in the south, not the Eastern and Western Jins, and there is no Northern and Southern Dynasties.
As for the Great Sui Empire, it is also different from Lin Xiao's memory, the Great Sui Empire in modern society only has two complete generations of emperors to rule, and it is only a few decades before and after, but the Great Sui Empire here has gone through three generations of emperors and has a history of more than 100 years.
In other words, since Lin Xiao left Zhongnan Mountain, the northern part of the Central Plains has already begun the road of unification, and when Lin Xiao came out of Shiji Cave Mansion, the unification of the north has been completed, and soon after, the Central Plains will be unified like a bamboo. And now, although the foundation of the dynasty has been loosened, at least there is still no problem with the superstructure - the army of the Great Sui Empire is still an invincible army in the world.
In this environment, the strength of the northern generals is very strong, and for the generals, their own force starts from the core to the periphery, followed by the family lineage, the pro-soldiers in the army and the generals who have been transformed into pro-soldiers, the descendants of the generals who have been transformed by the pro-soldiers, and other small families in the middle of the army.
Looking at the little girl's name "Uncle Li" for the strong man, then it is estimated that this strong man should be the right-hand man of the girl's father in the army, and he is regarded as the kind of heart, if there is no accident, he is the future general of the main general. Of course, at this time, the family will not be a slave of the master's family, but the kind that can be entrusted to his wife and son almost as a brother.
Relatively speaking, this kind of family general will never betray the main family, for example, in the Peking Opera "Zhao's Orphan", Cheng Ying, who can use his own son to replace the main son, goes out to send him to death, which is a vivid portrayal of this kind of family general's image.
So in Lin Xiao's opinion, the look in the eyes of this strong man Uncle Li is full of doting, which is too easy to explain.
As a subordinate of the little girl's father's generation, this strong man Uncle Li finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the little girl's coquettishness, to be honest, it is difficult for any man to refuse such a cute little girl's coquettish powers.
However, in the blink of an eye, this Uncle Li walked towards Lin Xiao - well, wouldn't it?
No, as soon as this Uncle Li opened his mouth, he confirmed Lin Xiao's guess: "This son, you have experienced a lot of going south and north, the mountains are full of snakes and insects in the middle of summer, and your martial arts are outstanding, far beyond the villain, in case you encounter a fierce beast and a big worm, the villain will not be able to deal with it, I don't know if you can ask the son to help?"
Lin Xiao tilted his head, looked at the strong man and said, "Uncle, where do you see that you are outstanding in martial arts?
Uncle Li, a strong man, pointed to the long lance hanging on Lin Xiao's horse back (the old horse transformed by the water unicorn), "The son doesn't know, the villain has also served in the army, and the horse lance villain has also been used, but your horse lance is not only much thicker and longer than the one used by the villain, but also the lance is much longer and wider. And if it is a custom-made horse lance, its owner must be the talent of the generals of the three armies!"
Looking at Uncle Li's chiseled expression, Lin Xiao couldn't help scratching his head, now this long lance hanging on horseback is just a matter of refining materials from Lin Xiao after he left Kunlun Mountain, but the immortal method, the metal used to refine the lance blade must at least withstand the burning of Lin Xiao's real fire, so after this lance is refined, don't look at it is only much bigger than the ordinary horse lance, but the weight is a lot more, and it weighs more than 30 catties.
And if a horse lance wants to play smoothly, the lance must also have enough strength and corresponding thickness, so the whole horse lance is obviously longer and thicker than the general horse lance, in the eyes of mortal generals, there is no martial arts and body of ten thousand enemies, not to mention the horse lance dance, even if it is sandwiched under the armpit to ride a horse charge, it can't be done. So, speaking of which, this Uncle Li is not wrong at all when he says that Lin Xiao's martial arts are outstanding.
It's just that this Uncle Li doesn't know, if it comes to mortal martial arts, although Lin Xiao can, he can be said to be proficient, but compared with the ancient generals, Lin Xiao is an absolute newcomer and rookie - Lin Xiao, who was born in modern society, how could he have had real combat experience in front of the two armies in ancient times and in the Ten Thousand Horse Army?
