Chapter Ninety-Five: There is still Song Junyi
"Song Junjia!
That's right, Bai Sheng is now called Song Junjia. And before the crossing, when he first became a stuntman, he also played Song Junjia.
The name Song Junjia has no sense of disobedience in the ears of the soldiers in this era. Since someone can be called Song Gongming, why can't someone be called Song Junjia?
How did Bai Sheng infiltrate the Song army and become the Song army? It is both funny and ironic.
It is said that Cai Jing was sick in bed that morning and discussed with Gao Yu, asking Gao Yu to allocate 50,000 forbidden troops to Huang Shang, Gao Yu agreed at the time, but when it was time to eat at noon, Tong Guan handed a sentence to Gao Yu again, saying that with Huang Shang's outstanding martial arts, there is no need for any elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and the meaning is enough.
Tong Guan is a little jealous of Huang Shang's status in Da Nei, in fact, the reason why Cai Jing asked Huang Sheng to go to Fang La, is also to take the opportunity to pit Huang Shang, after all, he and Tong Guan are friends who are embarrassed.
Gao Yu is so smart? He immediately realized that he was thinking about how to keep his elite master, Tong Guan was doing him a favor, why didn't he do it?
Therefore, in the afternoon, when the soldiers are ordered in the school field, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are specially selected, and only some pregnant women and passengers with children can enjoy giving up their seats on the bus.
But no matter how corrupt and degenerate the 800,000 forbidden army is, after all, it is an elite army defending the capital, at least on the surface, it can't be too bad. Therefore, no matter what, we can't get together 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, so what should we do? If we can't make up enough, we have to get some young and strong soldiers to mix in.
In this way, the young and strong soldiers have an opinion, oh, you want to get these old, weak, sick and disabled people to go to Jiankang to die, we have no opinion, but what's the matter with us good men?
So the chicks didn't pee, they went their own way, some gave gifts to their bosses, some lied that their parents were critically ill, and even worse, they deliberately broke their legs before ordering the soldiers and said that they fell......
Just said that Bai Sheng was hiding in the corner of the street and watching the army march out of the city gate, worrying about how to blend in, suddenly a soldier who stopped to sort out his armor found him, and said, Brother, I think you seem to envy us as soldiers?
Bai Sheng was immediately ecstatic. Yes, I dreamed of being a soldier, but no one wanted me. The soldier didn't say a word, and then took off his armor, "Brother, congratulations! Now you are a member of the forbidden army! But you have to change your name to mine, remember, your name is Song Junjia." β
So Bai Sheng mixed into the ranks of the forbidden army, and under the joy of the people in Beijing, he walked out of the city gate majestically and high-spirited.
At this moment, before the unknown head called out to him, he was worrying about how to steal a horseβif he had been marching on foot with these 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Jiankang Mansion in ten days, and everything would be delayed.
Since the founding of Zhao Kuangyin, the military establishment of the Song Dynasty has a hard indicator for cavalry, and an average of 10,000 soldiers must include 2,800 cavalry.
However, with the change of emperors in the Song Dynasty, although the establishment of cavalry did not change, the real cavalry became less and less. Why? Because there are no war horses in the land of the Great Song Dynasty!
Is it okay to buy? Of course not. Because no one sells. Whether it is the Liao Kingdom or the Western Xia, even if the war horse is killed and eaten, it will not be sold to the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not be sold no matter how much money is given!
Sell it to you and let you beat me?
Now looking at the entire Beijing Division, the total number of war horses owned by the 800,000 forbidden army is only 10,000, which also includes some old horses, stallions and foals.
Under such circumstances, how could Gao Yu equip Huang Shang with cavalry? Gao Yu said it well: The army under Fang La's command was just a few people in the mountains and wilderness, so could they use cavalry to deal with them?
Therefore, it is very difficult for Bai Sheng to steal horses, because there are only a hundred war horses at most in the 50,000 army, and they are all under the control of the Chinese army where Huang Sheng is located. These war horses are reserved for those who are the leaders and the waiters who are fleeing for their lives. It was roughly equivalent to the jeep of the Kuomintang army in later generations.
"Song Junyi, out of the ranks!"
After the head shouted a few more names, suddenly such a name was called, and a soldier stood out from the walking queue and stood with the soldiers who had come out of the queue before.
Bai Sheng was stunned.
Of course, he knew what was going on with Song Junjia, but he really couldn't understand why there was still Song Junyi, could it be that he was dressed back to modern times and was filming costume war scenes? But this large army that couldn't see the edge before and after told him that this was definitely not filming.
For war scenes filmed by modern people, the crew usually only finds dozens of group performances to interpret tens of thousands of troops, and any more is a waste of filming costs.
The characteristic of the army of the Song Dynasty is that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. The soldiers don't know the heads, and the heads don't know the soldiers. Like this kind of suddenly assembled and opened army, the link between the generals and the soldiers is a roster, but what Bai Sheng knows is that the head in front of him is illiterate.
However, he remembered that during the previous two half-day marches and a night of camping and resting, this Dutou had asked for the names of himself and several other soldiers, but he really didn't notice that there was actually a Song Junyi in this line of troops at that time.
"Brother. Song Junyi looked at the stunned Bai Sheng and said hello, his voice was very rough.
"Uh......" Bai Sheng nodded blankly, not knowing how to deal with it, this Song Junyi actually knows me?
Looking at this buddy Song Junyi, who I don't know, this buddy has a thick beard on his lips and under his chin, much longer than the beard that he has shaved and grown, it is a typical military face of this dynasty, giving people a sense of immediacy of a big man picking his feet, how can this person call me brother?
At this time, a few more soldiers came out, all of them were young and strong, and they consciously stood with Bai Sheng, and then they all looked at the dozen or so people in front of them and asked, "Which of you can ride a horse?"
"I will!" Bai Sheng replied immediately as if he was electrocuted.
"I will too!" Song Junyi followed.
The others were speechless. The cavalry of the Great Song Forbidden Army may not be able to ride horses, because they can't do equestrian training at all, and they can't ride wooden horses, let alone real war horses.
Du Tou sighed, as if there was a glorious mission that had not been completed, and said: "I know that it is difficult to find someone who can ride a horse, but fortunately, there are two brothers of your Song family, so it will not make me too embarrassed." Are you behind the gate?"
Bai Sheng didn't know how to answer, but Song Junyi said: "Back to the capital, my brother and I rode donkeys when we were young. β
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter among the soldiers on the march around him, and even Du Tou himself was a little crying and laughing, and said, "Is this called being able to ride a horse?" β
So the inexplicable Song brothers ran forward with Dutou, ran for about half an hour, caught up with the Chinese army, and saw a big flag flying high in the distance, with the words "Pingnan Commander Huang" written on the flag.
Beneath the banner was a carriage of horses, which was moving very slowly, at the same speed as the foot soldiers. The carriage was surrounded by thousands of guards, making it impossible to get close. There were nearly a hundred horses behind the escort, but there were almost no people on them, and most of them were led by soldiers. There was only one officer-like figure on horseback.
Hearing the sound of running, the officer turned around, saw the three Bai Sheng running over, and said to the head, "How about the two you found?"
Nadutou stood still in front of the officer's horse, panting and said: "Back to the head of the king's sect, they said that they had ridden a donkey before, so I asked them to try, but judging from the way they ran, these two boys are indeed good, and their physical strength is very outstanding, and I can't outrun them." β
Bai Sheng was secretly surprised when he heard this, and carefully looked at the officer on the horse, only to see that this person was about forty years old, with a pair of triangular eyes, and his appearance was a little obscene, but since he was called "Wang Jiaotou", wasn't Wang Jin, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army? But wasn't Wang Jin persecuted by Gao Yu and went to Yan'an Mansion to join the Seed Master?
But seeing that the head of the Wang sect looked at himself and Song Junyi disdainfully, he pouted and said: "Good physical strength, what is the use of fart? It's not a donkey to marry a daughter-in-law, come here! Give them two horses and two bows, and let them take a look." β
Immediately, two soldiers leading the horses handed the reins to Bai Sheng and the others, and someone took two hard bows and handed them over.
Bai Sheng didn't know what it meant to give Zhang Kong a bow, but he felt that no arrows were better than arrows, because he "only knew how to bend the bow and shoot eagles", he had shot an arrow in his life, and he also injured Lu Zhishen.
But I heard Wang Jiaotou say: "The six arts of cavalry, one is to shoot directly with the mane, the second is to shoot from the back, the third is to shoot from a horse, the fourth is to shoot a family, the fifth is to fight in the field, and the sixth is to be a wheel." Show me the two of you empty bow drills. β
Bai Sheng suddenly secretly complained when he heard this, this is for me to perform the art of riding and archery, the first two can still be vaguely understood, what are the third to sixth items special? Especially what kind of wheel is this, if you find a young lady to let me and Song Junyi take turns to get it, it will not be difficult, but this army is full of pure masters, how to get this?
