The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 6: Rural Taibao, Sharpshooter on the Ridge ([-])
The old man has a serious name, Chen Tong'e.

He stared at Ergou coldly, but Ergou looked at him without fear, but there was an infuriating smile on this guy's face, only his eyes were clear and tough, the clouds were light and the wind was light, It really made Chen Tong'e a little surprised but admirable.

It should be known that Chen Tong'e is an old warrior who fights on the battlefield, his eyes are as fierce as tigers and leopards, even ordinary tyrannical middle-aged men dare not look at him, but Chen Ergou can look at Chen Tong'e After a long time, it can be seen that this child is really not an ordinary person.

Of course, Chen Ergou knows best whether he is a mortal person. Although he doesn't show it on his face at this time, he is very weak in his heart. The old man's eyes are like a man-eating tiger, especially Ergou's. His eyes were quite special, and he even saw the old guy's temperament manifested through some kind of mist.

It was a statue of a giant warrior that was taller than a mountain. He was wearing heavy armor with fish scales, holding a horse-killing sword, and had a magpie bow and carved feathers and arrows painted on his waist. His purpose was to suppress all dissent.

It was precisely because Chen Ergou saw this manifested giant image that he didn't change his face when faced with Uncle Qi's silent threats, but he was really guilty in his heart. He was afraid that this old guy would turn into anger if he was unhappy, and he would be really miserable. up.

Fortunately, Chen Tong'e was not an unreasonable person. He quickly calmed down the ferocious look in his eyes, coughed a few times, and then seemed to be thinking about it and asked: "Er Gou, please tell the old man Tell me, what books have you been reading these days?"

Ergou was really relieved to be able to avoid being stared at by the old man. He straightened his clothes, crossed his hands, and replied: "The boy borrowed a few volumes of [Book of Rites] from the village chief's house, and read "Book of Rites" "Shaoyi" chapter, "Country Drinking Justice" chapter, "Shooting Justice" chapter, and even received a manuscript of "Taiping Guangji Xiaoyong Chapter" as a gift from brother Zongfu. I read it very much, but I don't know how to repay his kindness. Woolen cloth."

Chen Tong'e didn't pay much attention to [Book of Rites], but when he heard [Taiping Guangji's Heroic Chapter], he couldn't help but frowned. He couldn't help asking carefully: "What about [Taiping Guangji's heroic chapter]?" How many characters are carried?”

Ergou replied: "There are only biographies of six brave generals, including Ma Lin, Bai Xiaode, Li Siye, Zhao Yun, Lu Meng and Qin Shubao."

Chen Tong said: "Let me have a look!"

Ergou was holding the manuscript in his hands. He was so proud of it that he couldn't put it down. He had to read it at least ten times every day before he stopped. Every time he read it, he felt as if he was actually there.

This time Chen Tongni asked to see the manuscript, but Ergou did not dare to refuse. He offered it with both hands and said: "Qibo, please read it carefully and gently. Don't damage the pages. My nephew can It’s not easy to have a book with words like this.”

Chen Tong'e glared at Ergou, grabbed the book and opened it without paying any attention to Ergou's distressed face.

Some people may wonder why Chen Ergou, as a time traveler, cared so much about such a manuscript. Without him, things are rare and precious.

There is a lack of entertainment in this country, and Er Gou is still a little weak, chatting all day long is boring, even a piece of paper with words can be read with gusto, and ancient texts like [Book of Rites] can also be read, and even more Not to mention interesting biographies of heroes like [Taiping Guangji Heroes Chapter].

Chen Tong'ei first glanced through the manuscript hastily, then seemed unsatisfied, and read it carefully from beginning to end, and then closed his eyes and thought for a while, which made Ergou anxious and unbearable.

Chen Tong'e opened his eyes suddenly, with a cold look in his eyes. He took a deep breath and solemnly said to Ergou: "Boy, don't read this book in the future. It will do you no good! That thief Chen Zongfu is not a human being." Son, but I don’t know if I intend to harm you.”

Ergou was surprised, and asked quickly: "Uncle Qi, the village chief kindly gave me the scroll, but how could he harm me? Where did you start?"

Chen Tong'e sighed and said: "This copy is the Taiping Secret Code copied by Chen Xianju, the most capable man in the clan, in the Imperial Armament Camp in the capital. Those who are strong and strong can read it to strengthen their minds and grow their minds. Courage, and then the hero's benefits. However, if the weak and weak read it, not only will they not be able to gain any benefits, but it will corrupt their vitality and blood, vain their minds, and eventually they will be unable to escape the sudden death of their spirits and spirits.

You were born with a weak body, and your previous struggles have damaged your vitality. Now if you read this stuff any more, your lifespan will definitely not last long. "

Ergou took a deep breath when he heard this, pointed at the manuscript and asked in surprise: "Uncle Qi said this thing will harm me?"

Chen Tong said: "It's not that this secret book harms you, but that you are not fit enough to withstand its tempering. If one day you can make up for your innate deficiencies, you will be able to use this book to achieve something."

It was only then that Ergou realized that this manuscript was indeed a treasure, but he couldn't bear it due to his lack of background.Seeing that Chen Tong'e also couldn't put it down, he took the opportunity to say: "Since you don't have the blessing to enjoy this treasure, it's useless to keep it in your hands. If Uncle Qi likes to read it, you can just take it."

Chen Tong'e sighed, but re-stuffed the manuscript to Er Gou, and said with regret: "If the old man is 30 years younger, he will get it even if he takes it by force. It's just that the old man is already old and fine. Dry, reading it is useless and harmful.

To me, this thing is more terrifying than a bone-scraping steel knife. You should keep it to yourself and enjoy it! "

At this time, Ergou was convinced that the seventh uncle had no malicious intentions, but he took the copy, put on hemp shoes and a short jacket, and said to Chen Tongye: "Uncle Qi, my nephew heard from my old lady that you have good skills. No one in a radius of [-] li is invincible, let alone how good at archery is?"

But Chen Tong'e couldn't help but show off: "The old man's skills with swords and guns are ordinary, but his ability with bow and horse is remarkable. But you don't know that when I was your age, I encountered the Imperial Guards in Beijing. Zheng Wanglun, a member of the Tiger Wing Army, rebelled.

Boy, do you know the origin of the Tiger Wing Army, the old man will let you know..."

Ergou really didn't know the power of the Tiger Wing Army. He only knew it after hearing what Chen Tonge said.

The Tiger Wing Army was the most elite force in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

The Tiger Wing Army was first established in Song Taizu's time. At that time, it was called Xiongwu crossbowmen, and all of them were good at shooting on horseback.

During Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition to Khitan and recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the strong and brave men were selected as "Shangtielin" in the army, followed by "Xiatielin", and then expanded several times.For example, those who are good at water warfare were selected from the army and formed as the upper tiger wing; later, Jiang and quasi-sailors were recruited into the tiger wing army, which became the water army tiger wing.

Later, the Tiger Wing Army was renamed the Divine Guard Army, leaving only one cavalry army that still retained the banner of "Tiger Wing Army", and the Tiger Wing Army that Chen Tong'e mentioned was exactly this Tiger Wing Cavalry Army.

This Tiger Wing Cavalry Army is a combat force established by the Northern Song Dynasty court after the cavalry of the northwest ethnic minorities. The target is the most elite cavalry force in the Liao Kingdom, the Tielin Army. Another force with the same organization and status is in Xixia is called Iron Kite.

That's why the Tiger Wing Army can be divided into Upper Tielin and Lower Tielin.

Those who go up to Tielin can fight head-on with the real Tielin army of the Liao Kingdom without falling behind, while those who go down to Tielin are a little behind.

In fact, there is a blind spot here that everyone ignores.

The three cavalry armies, Tiger Wing Cavalry, Iron Forest Army, and Iron Kites, have basically the same positioning. They are all heavily armored cavalry. Both men and horses wear heavy armor, making it difficult for swords and guns to penetrate and making bows and arrows impenetrable.

Because the Northern Song Dynasty lost the former dynasty's horse breeding land in the north, the quality of the horses of the Tiger Wing Army fell behind the Liao State Iron Forest Army and later the Xixia Iron Harrier.

On the Tiger Wing, Tielin was able to keep pace with the Tielin Army by using the more powerful bravery of the sergeants to make up for the disadvantage of the mounts.However, Tielin under the Tiger Wings was actually not weaker than the Liao people of Tielin's army in terms of combat power. However, the war horses did not help, and after all, they were slightly inferior in terms of overall combat power.

If it is on a battlefield where there is no need to consider the quality of the horses, the Tiger Wing Cavalry can even beat out the shit of the Iron Forest Army and the Iron Kite.But if the cavalry is required to maneuver, the tiger wing cavalry becomes a lame army in front of two opponents.

The cavalry combat relies on the advantage of mobility, even the heavy cavalry.

Back to Chen Tongxi's side.

During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, a major earthquake occurred in Yizhou. Wang Lun, a former soldier of the Tiger Wing Army, took the opportunity to rebel in Yizhou.

Wang Lun, who called himself the Yellow Clothes Heavenly King, led hundreds of soldiers to fight for thousands of miles, murdering and setting fire all the way, rampaging wantonly and invincible.Traveling across the state and into the county is like entering an uninhabited country.

At that time, Chen Zhizhong, who was also the pacifier of Qing, Zi, Wei and other prefectures (collectively known as the pacifier of Jingdong), recruited brave men in the countryside and sent patrol inspector Fu Yongji to lead his troops to capture Wang Lun. However, within a month, he was defeated and surrounded by Caishiji in Hezhou. Wang Lun's troops, [-] local warriors headed by Zhang Ju and Chen Xianju worked together to kill Wang Lun, the "King in Yellow" who single-handedly broke out of the encirclement.

"...The bravery of the king in yellow is the best in the world, and only this old man has seen it in his life. My uncle Chen Xianju is also an unparalleled hero. Fighting alone, he can't stop the thirty-year-old man who joined forces in Liyang." If it is stronger, it will not be able to defeat Wang Lun fifty times in a fight.

At that time, I was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. When I drew my bow, I shot his mount in the eye with an arrow. Only then did we have the chance to kill him. "

This Chen Tong'e wanted to show off his ability to bow and horse, who would have thought that when he talked about the battle that besieged [Yellow Clothed King] Wang Lun, he would be full of embarrassment.

Just because there were actually not only thirteen people who strangled Wang Lun himself.

Chenjia Village alone sent out more than a dozen very capable tribesmen to join the battle. Liyang Zhang Ju also had a group of fellow villagers participate in the siege, and several other leaders also had a group of personal followers. In the end, there were only thirteen lucky ones. They survived, and dozens of others, big and small, were killed by Wang Lun's invincible iron spear.

Chen Tong'e sighed and said: "This is the first fierce battle in the old man's life. Afterwards, he confronted the Liao people and Xixia barbarians, and felt that those so-called fierce alien races were nothing more than that.

The King in Yellow!Pity! "

After all, Chen Tong'e had a lot of experience, so he quickly calmed down and talked about some achievements and interesting stories in the campaigns against Jiaozhi and Xixia. Although the old man's eloquence was average, Ergou still listened with interest.
