Northern Dynasties

Inside and outside the school grounds, there was a lot of noise and voices, and the scene was so lively that it seemed that the grand parade had officially started.

However, no one present would have such a misunderstanding. After a few days of publicity, among those who have arrived in Baishui, few people do not know what is going on today, and they are all looking forward to it. When the agreed day, Neither of the two principals had yet arrived, and the spectators had already taken their positions under the leadership of their respective commanders, ready to watch the battle and cheer.

On the stands in the school grounds, Yu Jin's face was gloomy, with black lines all over his head, and all the unhappiness in his heart was written on his face.

As the main organizer of this grand parade, it would be hell if he was in a good mood when something unplanned happened.In addition to maintaining the order of the venue, the various finishing tasks in the follow-up are also a headache.

There are more than a dozen other people in the stands, all Han and Hu generals who have already arrived in Baishui, but they don't have the troubles like Yu Jin, and they are all happily waiting to watch the show.

The sound of galloping horseshoes sounded from a direction outside the school grounds. Everyone followed the sound and saw a cavalry brigade galloping towards it.Ordinary sergeants only watched the excitement and uttered strange shouts and cheers from time to time, but the expressions of the soldiers and generals became envious and jealous.

A rough look shows that this cavalry team has at least more than 2000 people, and a considerable part of them are Hexi horses with excellent bones. If there is no special channel, it is difficult for even a general who has been in the army for many years to gather so many horses. Formal armed trilogy.

Li Tai brought most of the parts to Baishuiyuan today, and he did not reserve any weapons and weapons for the soldiers. For the sake of the mentality of the spectators, he did not use too many pack horses to transport armor and equipment, and only kept one person and one ride. And leave more than 200 idle horses in the team as replacements and carry some fodder.

Even so, his team was very eye-catching when they appeared on the stage. Without the scouts in front shouting to clear the way, the crowd watching outside the school grounds had spontaneously avoided a wide road.

"This Li Boshan trilogy is so majestic? Not to mention how to recruit troops, how can he bear the consumption of these horses?"

Seeing the scale of Li Tai's trilogy, some generals in the stands couldn't help asking in surprise.

Someone next to him replied enviously: "This son is an unusual vassal of the Taifu. He is also the defense of the cities. He is not disturbed by strong bandits outside. There are many Buluojihu people in the defense area for him to drive and enslave and support these troops. It's not too difficult for him."

There is no shortage of horses in Kansai. Yuanzhou and Xiazhou are all pastoral areas with good water and grass. In recent years, the Taiwan government has set up official herds and horses in Sanfu prefectures. There are also horses imported from Longyou. Most of them hold power. As long as they search carefully, as long as they are not too picky about the quality of the horses, it is not difficult to gather them into a large scale.

Gathering is one thing, and being able to support them is another. Without the convenience provided by the position, it is absolutely difficult for one family alone to support such a large number of people.

Therefore, judging the strength of a general, not only depends on his official title, but more importantly, whether he has served as a governor of a state or county in recent years.

If there are no hidden benefits brought by these powers, no matter how many parts you have before, you can be separated in two or three years. Loyal subordinates who share weal and woe and never give up are a minority at any time. However, there was no sufficient material supply for a long time, and they starved to death.

When Li Tai led the crowd into the school grounds, the expressions of the generals in the stands also became serious.

Before, they thought it was a farce. They only thought that Li Tai relied on the favor of Daxingtai to show off his prestige by provoking the veterans, but it was a pity that he chose the wrong way, and most likely he was going to become a clown in the end. .But now it seems that they thought it was simple.

After entering the school grounds, seeing that Zhao Gui and his subordinates had not yet arrived, Li Tai crossed his hands to a few acquaintances in the stands from a distance, and then led his troops to a corner of the school grounds to take a rest, and was not in a hurry to step forward.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes sounded from another direction on the plateau, and the sound was even more powerful than that of Li Tai and his party.

A huge banner flutters in the wind, and all the leopard tails and festivals are available. In addition, the armor sticks and cultural relics issued by the Taifu Kaicao are lined up. This way of appearance alone is much more solemn than just now.

Zhao Gui rode a mighty black-tailed horse, and came to this trip surrounded by his own soldiers and guards of honor.

His guard of honor alone has nearly a thousand people, which has far exceeded his official treatment. Excluding the possibility of blatantly violating the rules, it can only show that his team is accompanied by at least generals of the same level as Yi.

This is indeed the case, there are not only two Yitong members in Zhao Gui's team, but there are many subordinates who are generals above the fifth rank and have the title of Dudu.

They are either Zhao Gui's disciples or subordinates, or the tribal generals who were exempted from slavery. They may no longer be under Zhao Gui's control, but when the dignity of the old lord is challenged, they will lead their own troops to gather together again. Retaliate against the provocateur.

Based on Luoshui and Sanfang City, Li Tai has raised more than 2000 elite private soldiers, which is considered to be quite powerful, but compared with Zhao Gui, a senior veteran who has been in the army for many years, it is still far behind.

Zhao Gui's own team may not be able to leave Li Tai far behind, but the people he indirectly controls and influences far exceeds Li Tai.When the guard of honor gradually arrived at the school grounds, at least nearly [-] people including the spectators around the school grounds were raising their arms and shouting: "Zhongshan must win!"

Although there are nearly ten thousand troops under Li Tai's command, most of them are not even qualified to gather here and participate in the grand parade, so there is no need to talk about other combat effectiveness and loyalty.

Today, there are nearly [-] people gathered in and out of the school grounds from all directions, states and counties, and more than half of them are cheering for Zhao Gui. They may not all have any direct relationship with Zhao Gui, but in this relationship between Zhao Gui and Li Tai In this conflict, it is obvious that the emotional position is biased towards Zhao Gui.

Li Tai looked at Zhao Gui's way of making an appearance, and felt extremely upset in his heart.

Zhao Gui's ceremonial cultural relics were organized and supplied by him in Kaicao, and a considerable part of the materials consumed by the cheering soldiers inside and outside the school grounds eating and drinking here were provided by him from the Water Administration.

Zhao Gui's face today was almost entirely caused by Li Tai.On the other hand, Li Tai himself had only a team of Taifu guards who could have filled the scene, but they were taken away by Yu Wenhu before the fight.

This is not on the same level at all, Li Tai thought angrily in his heart, no matter how the competition wins or loses, when the big parade is over, he will have to get a new skin for himself.What do those little soldiers who watch the excitement know, they just support whoever is awesome. There is still a set of ceremonial outfits between him and the awesome.

After Zhao Gui entered the arena, the crowd in the stands no longer just remained indifferent or signaled from a distance, they stepped down from the stands to greet them one after another. Apart from polite greetings, there were also many people who pointed back at Li Tai and others who were in the other direction of the school ground. He smiled and encouraged Zhao Gui to beat Zhao Gui, and not to weaken the prestige of their townspeople.

Although the crowd was enthusiastic, Zhao Gui didn't feel relieved at all, and he couldn't tell how many of the smiling faces in front of him were gloating. It's not very honorable to be provoked by a rising star, and victory is a matter of course. It's not worth boasting about, but if you lose, you'll lose face.

If there is a choice, Zhao Gui certainly hopes that he can stand in the stands and enjoy other people's competitions, so he just casually responded to all kinds of greetings, went straight to Yu Jin and clasped his fists and said: "Since both parties have arrived, please The general arranges to start, settle this matter as soon as possible, and don't hold back the preparations for the Grand Parade for a long time."

After hearing the words, Yu Jin snorted, and you all understand that this is adding to the chaos.He raised his hand to signal his subordinates to call Li Tai, while he returned to the stands with the crowd, preparing to announce the details of the martial arts competition.

Li Tai came in after putting on his armor neatly. He wore a piece of thin scale armor that was inconspicuous but not weak in protection. He was mainly worried that Zhao Guiqi might play evil, so he arranged for a stunned young man to shoot him to death. If you are yourself, then there is no need to compare.

Ordinary private soldiers are nothing more than an appointment for a venue, and everyone brings troops to fight. Compared with street fights, it just has some more tactics.But today's incident has already alarmed the Taifu, and it has also attracted the attention of the people who refer to the various armies around Baishui. They should not fight casually, but must show their style and characteristics.

Yu Jin took the stage to briefly explain the content of the competition. The competition was divided into three sessions. The first was the lodging and formation practice. Convenience wins.

The second game is to attack each other's camps, each for an hour, conduct a positional battle with one attack and one defense, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of offensive and defensive operations.

The third game is a field battle. Each side is given a flag. The first to capture the opponent's flag without losing its own flag is the victory.

In addition, in order to ensure that the two sides will not kill and cause a lot of casualties because of the real fire, the two sides in the battle can only participate in the battle with bamboo and wood knives, sticks, armor and shields.And if any party suffers casualties, the other party will be responsible for compensation.

In other words, if Li Tai disabled Zhao Gui, he would still have to take care of Zhao Gui.

After listening to the content of these regulations, Li Tai looked at Zhao Gui more and couldn't help but said: "I don't use my muscles and bones as strength, even if Zhongshan Gong doesn't join the battle, neither I nor the masses will laugh at Zhongshan Gong." Cowardly and courageous."

He sincerely advised Zhao Gui not to be brave, such a high-ranking official is really going to be disabled by mistake, how much pension and subsidy will he get, and don't have a good fight and it will end up as a pottery.

But Zhao Gui didn't understand his good intentions, he just snorted coldly after hearing the words: "Don't be mad, Lizi, after three rounds, I will tie you here with my own hands and pay homage to all the lords!"

Li Tai curled his lips when he heard the words, it's really not good to be too competitive, even if he wants to brag, he won't talk too much.If the momentum is really bad, won't he jump out of the battle and come back to raise the flag to surrender, then will you be embarrassed, old boy?
