Chapter 140 This time it's real!
The Red Army is an upgraded version of the Tianzhu Army infantry formation, with firepower output accounting for more than one-third. In addition, the new type of grenadiers have greatly increased its power.
The Blue Army is a relegated version of the "Jin Army". Although there are also infantry and cavalry rushing forward, two-wing crutches, and these Jin army standard tactics, they can only obtain their shape but not their spirit. What the heavy cavalry rushing forward is the ruthlessness of being brave and fearless; the light cavalry flying requires the cavalry and shooting skills to reach a considerable level. These are not the level that a Han Dynasty army formed like a captured man can achieve in a short time.
In this way, one will rise and the other will decline, the strong will be strong, and the weak will become weaker, and the ending will be destined...
Di Lie on the rostrum turned his head to the busy advisers behind him and said, "Did you write down all the data we need?"
Ling Yuan was busy recording and proofreading the book with his pen, and answering quickly: "Okay, with the data of the Battle of Yinmatan and this exercise, we already know the basic tactics of the Jin army. In the future, we can formulate the best offensive and defense plan based on these data."
Di Lie shook his head: "It's just two data collected, but it's still not enough. Moreover, the effect of the exercise is a certain difference from actual combat - not to mention anything else, at least the Blues lack the courage to die. Sometimes, this courage can even bring a dramatic turnaround in a battle that seems to be defeated... In addition, our guests are obviously very troubled..."
Indeed, the Taihang heroes were really puzzled and confused. What was going on in this battle? The eyes saw the flash of fire and the ears heard the rumbling and explosion. Then, the cavalry and infantry army, which seemed to be strong, were roared and pulled, and were sent out one by one by fifty so-called lieutenants. Less than a quarter of an hour ago, the army became sparse. Those 100 cavalry could really rush to the Red Army formation, but only 23 of them were ten. In addition, the two-wing light cavalry desperately launched, eventually causing the Red Army to "damage" 50 or 60 troops, and the Blue Army was completely wiped out.
"What are you doing?" Someone among the Taihang heroes finally shouted, "You can win by throwing firecrackers? Is it a way to save us?"
Just when the heroes of Taihang were very dissatisfied, Ling Yuan appeared on the viewing platform, with a calm expression, and greeted the heroes of Taihang. He said, "The exercise is over. Below, it will be a real actual battle. Our army will send troops from Yidu to participate in the battle. The city lord's intention is that those of you are interested in joining our army's actual combat team, and experience the combat power of our army at close range and immersively?"
Meng De, Wang Zhongzhi and others are both confused. Are they actually fighting? Or are they playing the real thing? How do you say this?
Ling Yuan naturally knew what they were confused about and explained calmly: "You must have heard of it. Our army invaded the Jin army in the entire Yinmatan. On that day, the Jin army was wiped out, either killed or captured. Those who were killed were in the spoils showroom. The ones they were captured could be seen in the string of people. The ones they were captured... The ones they were unable to witness. However, there is a chance now - we will release 200 prisoners. These are all elite soldiers of the Jin army, including the remnants of the ancient Liao army who were defeated by the other side during the northern expedition in the past. Although these people's combat power is not as good as the real Jurchen Jin soldiers, they are definitely not under the elites of the Song and Xia countries, especially when they need to fight their lives..."
Meng De's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it true that the envoy is...?"
Ling Yuan focused on it: "We will issue basic weapons and horses to these prisoners. Then, let them fight with soldiers of all of us. The winner will live; the loser will die! Of course, I don't think they have a chance to live..."
"I didn't say anything, I'll participate!" Meng De responded simply.
Wang Zhongzhi hurriedly dissuaded: "Meng Dazhuo, the enemy is fierce, and the swords and guns are blind. The Dazhuo is responsible for the heavy responsibility of a village, so he must be cautious. It is better to send powerful generals under his command..."
Meng De shook his head and smiled, "I just want to know, if I participate, can I wear that outfit and distribute a steel tube that can spit out the fire?"
Ling Yuan said decisively: "A armor and armor should be provided, but the musket... that is, the steel tube you mentioned is not good! The use of muskets requires a certain amount of time to practice and shoot the target. Now I will not use it, but will accidentally hurt our soldiers."
"So troublesome?" Meng De turned his eyes and didn't know if this was an excuse from the other party, but since they said that, it was hard to force it. Anyway, it would be good to have such excellent armor and enjoy it. I'm happy to join now.
There were many heroes who had Meng De's idea, and they signed up one after another. However, Ling Yuan gave a limit, only ten people were limited to each village, with a maximum of one person. Among the final candidates, three major villages were joined, namely Meng De, the leader of the big village in Cheyuanling Village, Wang Youzhi, the fourth leader of Baima Mountain Village, and Liu Sheng, the second leader of Fushan Village.
The people and horses on the Grand Collegiate Field were very lively, and in front of the stables in the northwest corner of Tianshu City, there was a ragged and numb alien army. Yes, their left-sided robes and bald hair were all clearly indicating that this was an army dominated by Khitans.
The commander of the logistics and supplies camp, left, was standing high on a large cart full of fodder, looking at the group of prisoners coldly. When he was the head of a soldier in the signing camp, the Jurchen Tartars would not have looked at him directly. But those who really bullied the Han signing army were these "Ergouzi".
The Khitans and the Song people have been resentful for a hundred years. And because of their deaths, they finally got cheaper in the Jin Kingdom. Although the two countries were successively destroyed by the Jin people, the remnants of the two countries could never work together to fight against the Jin people. The hatred between them is no less than that of the Jin people. Therefore, the cunning Jin people would encircle the Khitan army and the Han army in a cage, let them restrain each other, without worrying that they would join forces to resist.
Now that the hardships are over, it is my turn to bully you Jurchens' hawks.
"Don't worry, getting you here from the mine is to give you a chance - a chance to survive in a desperate situation!" Zuo Kai shouted at the Khitan prisoners below with a high posture. This is also the reason why he was sent to do this. Among the military leaders of Tianshu City, those who can speak Khitan fluently will not be more than one slap, Zuo Kai is exactly one of them.
He opened his left finger and pointed to the batch of horses tied in the stable, as well as dozens of old military horses, and said in a singular voice: "Look there, I have prepared a batch of horses for you, and there are bows and arrows beside the saddle. Although these horses are a little old and useless, they still have the power to rush for at least a while. As for weapons, the Five Doks of Riding Bows are just right for you to use. The arrows are used to hurt people. What you have to do is fight with my Tianzhu Army again. How about it? I know you were dissatisfied last time. Do you want to take revenge?"
The prisoners below were silent. After a while, a cold voice said: "We want to take revenge, but we don't want to die."
Zuo Kai looked at the person who spoke and recognized that this was Pu Nian among the Khitan prisoners. Among these prisoners, this person's military position was the highest. Zuo Kai smiled playfully: "You Khitans also conquer the world with bows and horses. Although they are not good now, they still have an advantage against our Central Plains infantry. How could they die?"
The Khitan Puyan said with a expressionless face: "Just relying on these old military horses, even horses, and bows and arrows that take arrows, let us attack a fully armed army, not to die? You southerners. If you want to kill, just kill them, and want to kill us like a cat-playing mouse, you can't imagine it."
When the Khitan Pulian said this, the prisoners immediately showed anger.
Zuo Kai beat him up: "It's not uncommon for you to have this concern. OK, now I will tell you the rules. You will consider whether it can be taken. First of all, the only opponents you face are my Tianzhu Army, which is one hundred people; secondly, what you have to do is very simple, that is, run from the north to the south of the Grand Collegiate Field. You will win. The distance of the whole journey will not exceed four hundred steps. At this four hundred steps of death, you will be blocked by our Tianzhu Army. You can run desperately, regardless of whether you are ignorant, or attack our army with arrows or even horses. I can tell you that the arrows of each arrow are painted with white ash. If anyone of you can shoot the key points of our soldiers, although they cannot hurt people, the soldiers who are shot in the arrow will be sent off - that means that you are safer on the way you run."
The captives began to stir up and whispered. Indeed, if there were such conditions, they could really give it a try.
Khitan Pu Nian's eyes flashed and he finally asked, "What if, what if we don't do it?"
Zuo Kai grinned, and Baiya shone a light in the sun: "It's very simple, die now!"
The Khitan Puyan looked at the soldiers who surrounded him, holding a strong bow and crossbow, holding swords and guns, and thrust at the murderous intent of the baggage camp. His rough face, covered in coal ash, twitched: "Since there is no choice, then what else can I say..."
"Jin soldiers, Jin soldiers, this time they are real Jin soldiers..."
This time, the royal family and the onlookers on the viewing platform were finally confirmed that the cavalry, who had a smell of sheep from afar, were sloppy but not less fierce, were really Jin soldiers.
Although it has been announced before that this group of Jin soldiers is a prisoner, without physical strength or weapons, and a group of toothless tigers. However, toothless tigers are also tigers; while the horned sheep are still sheep. Therefore, there were still riots around the campus. Some people left the scene because of fear, while others picked up stones, trash and other things from the ground and threw them hard at the group of Khitan prisoners. The Khitan prisoners were thrown into dust, but they dared not fight back. The joke was that this person could not bow his head under the eaves. They had no doubt that if anyone could not resist, they might be torn to life by these former sheep like those who had let them slap.
I saw the golden man again, and the golden man again!
Queen Zhu on the viewing platform had her lips tightly bit her nails and almost fell into her palms. Beside her, Zhu Wanting, wearing a dark green military uniform, was playing with the eagle-mouth gun numbered "Article No. 1" in her hand, with a cold and solemn appearance and a phoenix-eyed eye.
Huanhuan, Yuanzhu, Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu and Sandalwood, etc., also had white pink faces and trembled slightly. These terrifying devil figures seemed to remind them of the nightmarish years...
The Khitan prisoners rushed past the stage and gradually moved away. The pressure on the viewing platform was relaxed. Queen Zhu gently exhaled a nervous breath, glanced at Zhu Wanting with a calm expression, and praised: "Sister is calm. It seems that this military training is quite good at training people..."
Although Zhu Wanting has been removed from the imperial family on her own and is no longer Concubine Shen De, this is not changed as Empress Zhu's cousin. Therefore, Empress Zhu still calls her sister.
Zhu Wanting put the eagle-mouth gun on her waist and said lightly: "There is nothing to worry about. These Jurchen hawks and dogs will soon become dead... dead! Do we see fewer things along the way? What should we be afraid of?"
However, not everyone has as strong confidence as Zhu Wanting. At least, the leader of Taihang Village, who was mixed into the 100 real-time soldiers of the Tianzhu Army, was worried. When the thunderous sound of hoof sound came, almost everyone could not help but remember the scene under Luancheng City that day. These always fierce giant bandits actually had their guts trembled and their whole bodies were stiff. If they were not in the public eye, and had heavy armor on their bodies, they would probably have turned around and fled...)
