Horse on the World

Chapter 125 Carrying Forward the Spirit of the Mad Dog

Yesterday, Maoda's chrysanthemum exploded. Although it was reversed immediately, I was still very happy. Today I am only a few votes away from Maoda, and there is still a chance to explode again!
Although Tang Hu won, except for the 300 people from the Dingzhou Army who cheered loudly, everyone else was extremely quiet, and looked at them with strange eyes. Said, at the end of the day, he was humiliated. This was too big a fall, and it was in front of the elders of the sect, in front of the emperor, in front of all the aristocratic families, in front of the civil and military ministers of the whole dynasty. When he came up, he rolled his eyes and passed out angrily.The colleagues in the Imperial Forest Army hastily carried him down, there was already an imperial physician waiting beside him.

When the power was settled, nine people from the Dingzhou army walked out silently. The ten-on-ten one-on-one match had just been completed, and now it was the turn of the remaining nine people to come out. , turned around, drew the knife, threw away the scabbard, pointed the steel knife obliquely at the ground, and looked up at the Royal Forest Army.All the movements of the nine people were in unison, as if they were one person. If you don't know how to watch the excitement on the stage, you can see the way if you are an expert.Without extremely strict training, it is impossible to achieve such uniformity without orders.

"General Li, how long have you boys trained to be so elite?" Tian Qi asked with interest.

"Your Majesty." Li Qingwei leaned forward and said, "Of the nine people who are preparing to go to battle, three are old soldiers from the original Dingzhou, and the other six are recruits recruited by the minister in Chong County. They trained for less than half a year before going to the battlefield. After several battles, because of their bravery and meritorious deeds, I recruited them into the personal guards as a reward!" In fact, what Li Qing didn't say is that now his personal guards are basically the reserve officer team. The personal guards are much harder than the first-line troops. Not only do they have to learn literacy, cartography, and tactics, but they also have to practice and train like ordinary soldiers. Most of these personal guards are born on the battlefield. He is not only brave, but also intelligent. After all, there are not many people like Tang Hu, but Tang Hu can only serve as a personal guard by Li Qing's side forever.Once these people have completed their studies, they will immediately be sent to the army to serve as grassroots officers, so the personal guards around Li Qing are always changing, and through this, Li Qing can also control the army more effectively.

"What?" Tian Qi opened his mouth wide in surprise, "A group of farmers, after less than a year of training, can become such a strong soldier?"

"Your Majesty, it's not really a strong soldier. My three hundred personal guards are all about the same level, but this second competition depends more on personal courage. Ten of them are considered to be the best single-handed fighters among the personal guards. Among them A few of them had learned boxing and kicking from their masters for a few days before joining the army, so they came out to fight." Li Qing didn't take it seriously, "It wouldn't be much different if someone else came out."

While speaking, nine people from the Imperial Forest Army also came out. This time, all the soldiers from the Dingzhou Army came out. It is embarrassing to send out officers here, and they are also nine ordinary soldiers.It's just that with the lesson from the former general Xiao Tianci, these nine people have completely put away their previous contempt and replaced it with solemn expressions.

The 18 people each chose their opponents, without any nonsense, they immediately divided into nine pairs and fought together.

As soon as the battle started, everyone on the stage shook their heads in unison. Sure enough, they were taught by a master. The style of these ten people is completely in line with Tang Hu's, and they have exactly the same fighting style.Moreover, when the Dingzhou army started to fight, it was as if they had encountered a life and death enemy, their eyes were red, and their swords were deadly.This momentum alone completely overwhelmed the Imperial Forest Army.

The result was not beyond everyone's expectations. In a short while, the nine members of the Imperial Forest Army were completely defeated.

Qu Yongjie's face was completely darkened, and he felt panicked. As a warrior, he certainly could see that his son Lang was not inferior in skills, but was completely timid before fighting, and was completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum. In a word, it is to cherish life, and the other party does not spare life at all. Comparing the two, there is a reason for invincibility.

Tian Qi kept shaking his head: "General Li, according to my opinion, these soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army are completely stronger than your soldiers in personal force. Why are they always not your opponents when they fight?"

Li Qing smiled slightly, it seems that Tian Qi is not completely a layman! "Your Majesty, I do not deny that a soldier's personal bravery is very important, but on the battlefield of thousands of troops, no matter how superb one's personal martial arts are, it will not be of much use. Just imagine, Your Majesty, on the battlefield, thousands of troops fight, Thousands of knives are slashed, ten thousand spears are stabbed, how many knives can you block, and how many guns can you avoid? Therefore, in the army of the minister, you don't pay much attention to personal martial arts. As for the training of Commander Qu's subordinates, they are indeed very elite. The sons and daughters were fought from the battlefield, the soldiers who have been to the battlefield and the soldiers who have not been to the battlefield are completely different, the elite soldiers are not trained, but fought."

Tian Qi nodded slightly, "General Li is right. This is probably the reason why Commander Qu's soldiers lost. It seems that the Imperial Forest Army still lacks training!"

Qu Yongjie couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, three wins and two losses. Right now, I just lost the first round. It's too early to say whether I'm going to win or lose."

Li Qing nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, an army should actually pay more attention to the overall battle, but Your Majesty, I suggest that the soldiers in the following competition should be replaced with wooden knives and spears, so as to avoid casualties. Commander Qu's subordinates are highly skilled in martial arts, they don't care about the severity of their strikes, and they don't know how to stop them, so if there are casualties, it would be unsightly."

Although Qu Yongjie felt embarrassing, he also felt that it made sense. If desperadoes like Li Qing's subordinates went into battle with real swords and guns, casualties would inevitably occur. It doesn't matter if the other party dies. very.

"That's right, Your Majesty, and I think so too. They are all His Majesty's troops, and the casualties hurt His Majesty's benevolent heart."

Tian Qi nodded and agreed, "The two generals have reasonable concerns, come and change the weapons for the soldiers!"

The drums sounded again, and the second round officially began. At this time, groups of ten faced each other. The ten men from the Imperial Forest Army were all tall and tall, with long arms. Each of them held an iron shield in one hand, and a short spear in the other hand. , or holding long knives, while four of the ten Dingzhou soldiers were holding spears, four were holding iron shields, but they were holding short knives in their hands, and the other two were each holding long knives. There was a sharp whistle, and these ten people suddenly pulled, and quickly formed a spear forward. The shield hand protected the spearman, and the two long swordmen carried long swords, and You Ge was on the side.In fact, the standard combat team of the Dingzhou Army is equipped with 15 people, but now there can only be ten people, so it can only make do with it.

As soon as this small formation was set up, Xiao Haoran felt something was wrong, because he clearly saw that the spears held by the front four spearmen stopped on the same horizontal line at the same time, and from their bowed legs, waist and abdomen From the looks of their strength, these four are the main attackers, and they are the main attackers regardless of life and death.On the other hand, the Royal Forest Army used one person as the tip of the cone to form a triangular attack formation. Unless the attacker who served as the tip of the cone could tear open the hole, they would definitely lose.

The two sides shouted at the same time, and began to run forward in small steps, ten steps, twenty steps, one hundred steps, the formation of the ten-man group in Dingzhou was not chaotic at all, it was still exactly the same as before departure, and the power of the Imperial Forest Army had begun to appear Out of touch, some people's steps are obviously out of step with the others. If it is a confrontation with other armies, this may not be a big deal, but if it is a confrontation with the Dingzhou army, it will undoubtedly lose.

The long spear stabbed, the short spear stabbed out, and people on both sides fell down. Although it was made of wood, it was still very powerful in the hands of these people. After being hit, no one could stand up.

The Dingzhou army fell one person, but successfully brought down the opponent's main attacker. The remaining three spearmen did not even look at the fallen comrades, and quickly moved closer to the center. Body.The man on the ground didn't move, just put his head in his hands, the three of them stabbed without stopping, and this time they knocked down two of the opponents and one of them, but at this moment, there was a short gap in the opponent's formation. , which was caused by the opponent's out of touch during the [-]-meter run.In just a few tenths of a second, the shield hand was inserted to the front, the spear stabbed again, the iron shield advanced, the long sword hand protruded from the gap between the shield hand, and raised the knife.In the blink of an eye, the opponent fell down three people, and no one was injured here.

No one thought that the ten-man duel would end so quickly. From the start of the two sides, in just a few breaths, all ten members of the Imperial Forest Army fell, and the Dingzhou Army had two shield players and two long-sword players left. The leading spearmen were all defeated, four to zero, and the Dingzhou army won.

There was silence on and off the stage, the victory came so easily, even the Dingzhou Army itself felt a little surprised, isn't the Yulin Army the strongest army in the entire empire, why is it so vulnerable?They also expressed their incomprehension with silence.

Qu Yongjie's face was bloodless, and he was completely defeated. He had never thought of such a complete defeat.Tian Qi's face was also very ugly. The Yulin Army was his own army, and he lost to a state army so easily. No matter what, his face couldn't be put down, and his face sank like water.

Li Qing glanced at Tianqi, "Your Majesty, next... do you want to fight?"

Tian Qi waved his hand, "Fight, why don't you fight? I also want to see the whole army fighting. Is my Yulin Army so unbearable?" At this time, he looked into Qu Yongjie's eyes, as if he was about to burst into flames. The army was handed over to you, and you actually brought out such a group of people. They usually look very mighty, but I didn't expect that they would be so vulnerable when they really fought.

Everyone looked at Qu Yongjie with regret. After this battle, his future was completely ruined in Li Qing's hands.Li Huaiyuan winked at Li Qing, meaning to ask him to show the emperor some face, and forget about losing in the last battle.Li Qing smiled slightly, he would not do this, if he wants to fight, he should fight hard, so that the emperor is also sober, and let his enemies see who he is, in the last battle, Qu Yongjie will only lose Worse.

The three-way drum sounded, and the soldiers on both sides, who thought it was about to end, looked at the stage strangely. Qu Yongjie stood up, "Your Majesty, I beg you to command the final battle in person." He wanted to make a final fight, using his rich battlefield Use experience to command the Yulin Army, defeat the Dingzhou Army, and save a little face.

Tian Qi glanced at him in surprise, you know, Qu Yongjie is now shirtless, if he loses again, he will no longer have the face to stay in the Imperial Forest Army.

"Is General Li going to end in person too?" Tian Qi asked.

Li Qing shook his head, "Your Majesty, I have always been opposed to generals fighting in person. As a general, you only need to formulate strategic directions and tactics, and the executors should be grassroots officers. I often tell my subordinates, if you need me to fight in person, Then we are not far from failure."

Tian Qi was thoughtful, if Li Qing didn't go to battle in person, Qu Yongjie would lose face if he lost again, but he didn't know who was commanding Li Qing, was it the general?Looking down at Yang Yidao, he looked extremely calm and looked like a general.

When Li Qing didn't leave the stage, Qu Yongjie's face became even more ugly.He hurriedly bowed to Tianqi, then stepped off the stage and left.
