087 Ban Zhi

After leaving the Great Xiangguo Temple, Zhao Ji walked around the city for a while, and unconsciously walked to the south city.

The boxy layout of Bianliang City, although the imperial city sits in the north and faces south, the distribution of people in the city is also a pattern of rich in the north and poor in the south. The residences of the nobles are generally located in the northwest, while the southern city is a place where commoners live. Daxiangguo Temple went out of Baokang Gate to the south, and then arrived at the outer city, and a strong market atmosphere came to the face.

From the streets to the alleys, six or seven out of ten of the roadsides are shops selling all kinds of fried fruits and food, and daily necessities are also available. In addition to all kinds of vendors, the most haunted on the road are some idle and broken households, these people probably have some family businesses in their ancestors, but they have been passed on to this generation, and most of them have been lost.

Some ambitious people can still think of earning back an ancestral business, or finding an errand in various industries to keep to themselves, or taking refuge in the government agency to do things with peace of mind, or providing for an idle job in the forbidden army. There are also some who are born to work hard and only enjoy it, and there are also some people who pass by and live, and most of them go to rich and noble families to eat, drink, and have fun, which is the so-called help. Among them, the more famous one is the Gao Yu who later served as the third lieutenant of the official residence, but this kind of helper will only teach people to lose, so it is not very pleasant. And more of them are still wandering the streets every day with nothing to do, relying on petty theft and oppression of the good to live, and the big evil is not done but the small mistakes are continuous.

There are also rivers and lakes in Bianliang City, and Zhao Ji learned from Quan Guanqing that these wandering dilapidated settlements on the street are also organized and factional, each dividing their territory, and there is quite an order in the gray area. If you want to subdue these people, it is very difficult to have some skills, Quan Guanqing also borrowed the name of the beggar gang in the rivers and lakes, and secretly duandu the prestige of the palace, which can level the large and small gangs in the city.

To the east, along the inner city moat to the Pratunam Wharf, is a thriving Washer business district. In addition to the warehouses built by various warehouses along the river, the most are large and small ** and all kinds of martial arts halls. Maybe it's because the whole environment is different, the **ladies in this neighborhood don't tell people about Fengyue**, but they take the most primitive skin and flesh** to the extreme, Bai Fufu's chest and thighs loom in the shirt skirt, even if they don't scratch their heads and make gestures, only at the next stop in Huanmen Cailou, the men passing by also have an evil fire in their hearts that need to be vented.

As for the various martial arts halls, there are many names, from the reputation alone, almost all the sects and factions in the martial arts have branches opened here, and there are three Shaolin Dharma Hall alone on this street. Zhao Ji just came to this world last year, and he was indeed stupid to observe for a while, but then he saw more, and he understood that most of these martial arts halls were just a faΓ§ade, and there were few who really had skills.

After passing through this area, you will arrive near the Yunqi Bridge, which is also the destination of Zhao Ji's trip. The so-called Banzhi is the forbidden army guards responsible for guarding the imperial city, all of which are the best of the forbidden army, and they are also the most elite part of the forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty. Among the classes, there are the golden gun class, the silver gun class, the arrow recruitment class, the dragon bow and arrow straight, the dragon crossbow straight and so on. For example, when Zhao Ji went to Dali before, the guards around him were from various classes. And Zhao Ji came here this time to see them.

At this time, it was the afternoon, and it was the time for the classes to practice. Zhao Ji relied on coming here, and the military attache in front of the palace had already gone out to greet him. Zhao Ji Dao made his intentions clear, and the other party was not so surprised, all classes often have to take on the task of guarding the nobles, so there are often clan relatives and nobles coming and going here. Moreover, the mobilization of personnel must have the warrants of the Prime Minister of the Privy Mansion and the Imperial Marshal's Mansion, and simple etiquette exchanges are not taboo.

Under the leadership of the guards, Zhao Ji went to the place where Zhubanzhi camped, he remembered the names of those guards, and quickly found the Banzhi from the roster. It's just that there is still nearly an hour before the end of the exercise, and Zhao Ji doesn't want to sit in the room and wait, so he simply asks people to take him to the school field, wanting to see the martial arts of the most elite forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty.

Thousands of classes of forbidden troops are stationed here, so the area is extremely vast. There was still a long way to go from the school field, and Zhao Ji had already heard the roar of the people and horses during the forbidden army's drill. Turning a corridor door, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and the elite soldiers of the forbidden army on the school field formed an array of their own, each practicing different skills and blades.

When I walked into the school grounds, I saw two columns of spearmen fighting each other. In the shouting and cheering, the shadow of the gun is longing, and the scene of hundreds of people fighting and fighting is very exciting, and the occasional sound of the collision of guns makes people's eardrums hurt. Marksmanship, Zhao Ji is not very proficient, but standing by and watching for a while, he always feels that these forbidden soldiers seem to be a little monotonous between advancing and retreating, and there are not many changes, or they stab the door, or pick up the key points, or return the gun to block the lock, but these few simple and almost clumsy tricks, there is no subtlety at all.

From this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but recall the martial arts cheats he read in the Langhuan Jade Cave, but he also saw a few marksmanship, if purely from the change of moves, it was indeed many times better than the gun skills performed by these forbidden soldiers. Such clumsy gun skills do not seem to be consistent with the rumors that the forbidden army has excellent martial arts.

With this curiosity, Zhao Ji observed the fight of these soldiers, and at the same time, he simulated in his heart the situation of fighting with the marksmanship he had seen. But as soon as the picture in his mind turned, Zhao Ji tasted a little taste, although the marksmanship he knew had many changes, but aside from those action moves that tossed and turned to confuse the enemy, the real essence of the killing moves were all secretly in line with the actions used by the forbidden soldiers and soldiers in front of him!

With this discovery, Zhao Ji looked at the battle between these forbidden soldiers and soldiers, and saw an unusual taste. Although only a few actions before and after constitute all their marksmanship skills, these actions completely include the characteristics of the "gun" as a kind of blade, in other words, if you want to hurt people with a gun, no matter how exquisite the marksmanship, after all, it will not get out of the scope of these actions!

Zhao Ji stood on the sidelines and stared at it for most of a quarter of an hour, and the sergeants and soldiers on the field kept tirelessly repeating these movements, imprinting these actions with the marksmanship changes in his mind one by one, and Zhao Ji realized Fang Cai's own shallowness. Where is this gun skill clumsy and simple, it is clearly the essence of conciseness to the extreme, or to hurt the enemy or defense, not only the action is concise and effective, but even the range of action is just right.

Putting aside those completely useless marksmanship changes, this is the real skill of killing the enemy in battle formations to protect oneself, if the marksmanship that Zhao Ji knows is used on the battlefield, not to mention that it will be effective, just the most fancy and useless actions are played, it is a great physical exertion! And on the battlefield, among thousands of troops, a battle may last for several hours or even a few days, and physical strength is often more important than skill!

With this level of understanding, Zhao Ji gradually had some understanding of the difference between these forbidden soldiers and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. Fighting in the rivers and lakes, martial arts skills are just a means to save their lives, it is true that exquisite martial arts can defeat the enemy, but the real intention is to protect themselves. And the purpose of fighting in battle is very clear, that is, to kill the enemy. Therefore, although the martial arts on the rivers and lakes and the skills in the army are both the ability to defeat the enemy, in essence, they are two fundamentally different skills, because there is a huge difference in the fundamental purpose.

Jianghu martial arts pay attention to exquisiteness, and it is best to rely on a variety of moves alone to make people's eyes shine and collapse without a fight; while military skills are indirectly effective, and the slightest difference is the difference between life and death!

Further on, it is the drill of the Golden Gun class. The so-called golden gun is not a spear made of pure gold, not to mention that the gold texture is too soft, even if the Great Song Dynasty has money, he can't afford such a luxurious blade. The Golden Gun is a heavy gun that can pierce armor, and its weight alone is more than twice that of an ordinary large gun, so it requires extremely high arm strength. The Golden Gun Class is also the smallest number of people in all classes, with a total of only more than 600 people, and only more than 200 people trained on the field. Each of them is a big man with a strong physique, and a golden gun is used violently, which is amazing. Zhao Ji saw with his own eyes that the soldiers stabbed out a golden spear, directly piercing through the wooden tethered horse stake wrapped in iron sheets!

Just as he was about to go to the rest of the training place to take a look, Zhao Ji saw a group of people surrounding the school grounds, and from time to time there was a burst of cheers, as if something lively was happening. Curious, he walked in that direction.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Forbidden Army gathered here, and they formed a circle of water. Relying on the accompanying military attache to scold and open the way, Zhao Ji squeezed to the front, and it turned out that there were two forbidden soldiers fighting one-on-one.

These two forbidden soldiers are not very old, and if you look closely, they are only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and they still have childishness on their faces, but they have a spear in their hands, but their moves are all killing moves that take people's lives, and they are ruthless and fierce. Every time a shot was stabbed, even the spectators inexplicably pinched a cold sweat in their hearts, and when they saw one of them skillfully defuse the killing move, they let out a breath again, and then burst into bursts of applause.

Zhao Ji looked at it for a while, these two teenagers' marksmanship does not belong to the category of martial arts, they are all battle array killing moves, calm and steady between advance and retreat, and it can be seen that the dismount is solid and the foundation is very stable. And the fighting momentum is very strong, just the kind of posture that is indomitable with a gun in hand, even if it is taken out for one-on-one fighting, I am afraid that many good players on the rivers and lakes who have been fighting for a long time will have to look far away. Seeing their performance, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a love for talent in his heart, these two teenagers are not very old, if they cultivate their internal skills from scratch, they may really be able to become masters of both internal and external skills in the future.

So he turned to the military attache next to him and asked, "What are the names of these two teenagers?"

Although the military attache was in charge of this place, he couldn't keep the names of all the soldiers in mind, so he turned his head and asked some other forbidden soldiers who were watching the excitement before replying: "The one on the left is named Xu Ning, whose family is an old forbidden army that has been passed down for generations, and now serves in the Golden Gun Squad. The one on the right is called Lin Chong, his father is also a general in Junzhou, and he is also a protΓ©gΓ© of Zhou Dong Zhou. ”

Compare the strength of the army with that of martial arts people, take the time to discuss it carefully. Actually, I feel that there are two different categories, and everyone can express their opinions...... In addition, a new week has begun, so I ask for your recommendation votes to support ...... Have an idea, is it okay for Qiao Feng to teach these two Liangshan heroes?
