Chapter 10: Corporal Lixian
Da Kui has never taken such a bitter medicine when he is so old, and he only feels that the taste buds on the tip of his tongue are so bitter that they are numb. I swallowed it, and the soldiers fed it again. Da Kui kept his mouth shut and did not speak.
The soldier said: "Doctor Wang once instructed the small ones, such as General Zhang, to take a mouthful of medicine and beat a board." I'm afraid that this bowl full of medicine is going to kill the little one. "This soldier is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he thinks he can't live at home, so he joined the army. When the soldier said this, he wept.
Da Kui couldn't bear it, so he said, "You put the medicine bowl next to my mouth, and I drank it in one go." ”
The soldier hurriedly said, "General Zhang, don't speak. After a pause, he said: "Doctor Wang said that this medicine needs to be drunk one sip to be effective" Hearing this, Da Kui suddenly felt that suffering was coming.
Da Kui did this two meals of bitter medicine a day, and he had to drink it in one sip. He can't move or talk every day, and he only eats gruel three times a day and orders pickles at most. During this period, Liu Futong and the generals came to visit many times, all of which persuaded Dakui to raise him with peace of mind. After staying alive for a month, Dr. Wang was allowed to get out of bed.
The first thing Da Kui did when he got out of bed was to talk happily with the old man in the back kitchen for two hours until noon. During the meal, Doctor Wang said that he could eat some meat, and Da Kui ate two pork knuckles before he stopped.
On the third day after getting out of bed, Da Kui took two relatives to the training school. Da Kui was seriously injured at this time, and his body was still weak and could not wear armor, so he found a leather armor to put on his body. When his 20,000 soldiers saw that the Lord was coming, they lined up in a phalanx. As soon as Da Kui stepped onto the parade platform, 20,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "General Shenwei, General Shenwei."
After Da Kui beckoned, he sat down on the Taishi chair on the parade platform, and then ordered to start drilling.
Although the soldiers practiced very seriously, Da Kui couldn't help frowning when he saw it. This is not what he wants to see, what he wants to see is martial arts, martial arts that have been battle-hardened and defeated the enemy with one blow.
This is really a snake bite, ten years afraid of the well rope. Da Kui was really frightened by the loss of Badulu, if he went to the battlefield next time and had another opponent like Badulu, he might not be so lucky. Da Kui then instructed the officers above the captain level to display their martial arts on the school field, and not to work hard to play the board.
This time it is even more lively, nearly 100 people show their skills on the school field, and there are many kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.
Da Kui chose a dozen of them and told them to continue practicing. These dozen or so officers did have a lot of work under their hands, and once the drill was held, the onlookers cheered from time to time. Of the dozen men, six were spear-wielders, three were broad-sworded, one was wielded with sticks, one was wielded with maces, and one was wielded with two knives.
After they finished the drill, Da Kui said bluntly to them: "I have been stupid since I was a child, and later I went up the mountain to learn art because I was stupid, and I only learned some introductory kung fu." This time, I called everyone here to find a few good martial arts instructors. When the generals heard this, they shook their heads and waved their hands in refusal.
A lieutenant said: "General Zhang is really too modest, General Zhang went around Bozhou alone among hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. The enemy general Zhang killed two in a row, and later killed him in 600 rounds in the fierce battle of the deputy general of the Yuan army, Guye Bart, and the enemy general was killed under the horse on the second day. We are all admiring the five-body throw, how dare we say that we are instructing General Zhang's martial arts. ”
Da Kui tried every possible way to seek skills, but the generals just shirked. In desperation, Da Kui knelt down in front of 20,000 soldiers, and took out the ability to go up the mountain to apprentice and said: "If everyone is not allowed, I Zhang Dakui will kneel and die here." ”
When the generals saw the Lord bowing down, they panicked, and they all rushed over to help. The soldiers who came with Da Kui hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Zhang is injured, don't pull it." The generals had no choice but to kneel down and return the salute, and 20,000 soldiers knelt on the ground one after another.
A partial general named Yang Yonghuai, who was in his thirties, said: "If General Zhang wants to do this, we will accompany General Zhang to kneel, and we will kneel for as long as the general kneels." ”
The two sides were so consumed, and after a short time, Medical Officer Wang came to look for him, and as soon as he saw the scene of the school, he shouted to the generals: "You don't have to wait for anything, how can General Zhang kneel for a long time before he is seriously injured." As he spoke, he came to help Da Kui and persuaded: "General Zhang is also a general, how can he be so childish." Da Kui stubbornly refused to get up, and Doctor Wang was not good at deadlifting. Sighing off the parade platform, he rode a fast horse and went straight to the Chinese army.
After a short time, Liu Futong rushed over with several generals under his command. As soon as he entered the school, Liu Futong couldn't help laughing when he saw what the medical officer said: "What a Zhang Dakui." ”
Waiting for Liu Futong to step onto the parade platform and look around, he said seriously: "There must be my division in the threesome, and General Zhang is gratifying to have this awareness." Da Kui knelt on the ground and did not speak.
Liu Futong said again: "General Zhang's mind is clear to the old man, if General Zhang can trust the old man, the matter will be handed over to the old man, if General Zhang is not satisfied, the old man will be punished." ”
General Da Kui looked at Liu Futong suspiciously, and Liu Futong said to the generals kneeling beside Da Kui: "You can go to the Chinese army to be a candidate, the old man will choose a strong martial artist in the three armies, and learn martial arts every day, and the old man will come to General Zhang to explain in detail." He turned his head and asked Da Kui: "What does General Zhang think?"
Da Kui asked, "Is this true?"
Liu Fu channel: "The old man is full of words. ”
Da Kui was overjoyed in his heart, so he stood up, and all the generals and soldiers stood up one after another when they saw that the main general had gotten up. Liu Futong coaxed the children to coax Da Kui back to the camp tent, and the school soldiers would continue to drill.
Since the second day, Liu Futong has selected more than 100 strong martial arts people from the more than 100,000 red turban soldiers in the whole army to set up a martial arts hall, among which there are extraordinary senior red turban generals. Everyone learns from each other and makes progress together, and Dakui has benefited a lot from it. Liu Futong explained in detail the practical application of various martial arts and weapons in the battle array.
Martial arts originated in ancient times and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties. It is divided into two factions, north and south, inside and outside. There are more than 400 kinds of martial arts schools of various departments.
Fighting on the battlefield, the martial arts used are simple and direct, and there are few fancy. Those who are proficient in fighting must not only have excellent martial arts, but also have a general understanding of the climate, environment, human bones, vital points, blood, and so on. In order to use all means to build the enemy to death in the shortest possible time.
There is a difference between long and short, soft and hard. The so-called long is: broadsword, spear, club, axe, axe, fork, bell, lance, halberd. And the short ones are: knives, swords, hooks, whips, maces, crutches, axes, hammers, vertebrae. Nine long and nine short are collectively known as eighteen weapons.
Liu Futong also explained the drills of several weapons commonly used on the battlefield. There are two kinds of broadswords, one is a long-handled broadsword, and the other is a medium-long-handled simple knife. The main techniques are: piercing, chopping, teasing, hanging, splitting, sweeping, picking, chopping, pressing, and belting. There is basically one kind of spear, and the main techniques are: piercing, stabbing, hitting, winding, ringing, blocking, fluttering, pointing, dialing, and dancing.
Da Kui saw that his spear skills were particularly attentive, and he suffered a loss under the gun of Badulu.
