Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 340 When Martial Arts is in progress (two in one)

Liu De also found Yu Chigong's name among the good four people. Obviously Yu Chigong's archery skills are not bad, but it's just not bad.

Compared with Ma Zhan, Yu Chigong is actually not good at archery, but who would have thought that there would be so few good archers this time.

Liu De attaches great importance to crossbowmen, especially when his own cavalry is scarce. As the lord of Yanzhou, Liu De has to consider the most difficult enemies in the past, Donghu and Linhu. The best news is that the Hu people have no intention of going south.

This should have made Liu De more at ease, and made Liu De pay more attention to Yanzhou's recuperation, but Liu De knew that this was only temporary.

More than two years have passed since Linhu, Dihu, Beihu and more than a dozen Hu tribes besieged Donghu and competed for the position of grassland overlord. I think this war has already been won or lost, but they are silently licking their wounds , Waiting for the day when the wound healed, he showed his sharp fangs in Yanzhou facing Liu De.

Liu De guessed that maybe this year or next year, news might come from the grassland, and he had to make early preparations.

Archers, especially the crossbow corps that make up the battle formation, are the best weapons to deal with the barbarian cavalry in the absence of horses. However, this requires excellent logistical support. You only have archers, and you can't even make up arrows. Qi, it's useless!

At the beginning, Li Ling was besieged by [-] cavalry from the Huns with [-] crossbowmen, and he fought and left. Later, Shan Yu dispatched more than [-] cavalry from the left and right to attack Li Ling and killed nearly [-] Huns. Dare to surrender to the Huns, plus the exhaustion of crossbow arrows and no strong reinforcements, there may be a real chance for Li Ling to escape back to the Han territory, but there are so many possibilities.

There is also Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong, who killed Wuhuan like a ghost crying and wolf howling, but facing Qu Yi's [-] Xiandeng's full force, finally Baima Yicong disappeared like a shooting star after a short period of glory. In the long river of history.

Therefore, Liu De came to a conclusion. To defeat the barbarians, a powerful bow and crossbow army is indispensable. Now he has a sharpshooter under his command, Mr. Huang Zhong Huang, er. considered old.

But there is only Huang Zhong alone, which is still too few. I wanted to discover a group of masters who are good at using bows and arrows this time, but I didn't expect it to be so few.

Having said that, Liu De's eyes turned to Bai Qi, Bai Qi's archer suitability is a [God]!

How about Bai Qi's bow skills?

Liu De asked Xiang Baiqi directly.

Bai Qi replied: "Like a target on the school field, it's relatively easy to hit nine out of ten."

Liu De nodded, Bai Qi often led the Baima Yicong to fight, every battle must be riding and archery first, it is quite normal to be good at archery, the aptitude is [God] more to show Bai Qi's ability to command the army!

Bai Qi said to Liu De at this time: "Master, I have something to do, please allow me!"

"What's the matter?"

Bai Qidao: "I was ordered by my lord to form a legion, but Baima Yicong, including other cavalry battalions, has no leader. For the cavalry, a warrior who charges ahead is very helpful to boost morale!"

"Can't a big country work?" Liu De asked.

"Great countries are not good at leading cavalry. I want him to be in charge of an infantry battalion. The other generals don't meet the requirements in terms of qualifications or abilities." Bai Qi replied.

Liu De thought for a while and asked, "Then what suggestion do you have?"

Only then did Bai Qi express his premeditated thoughts: "Master, I want Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong will definitely be able to exert the greatest combat power of the cavalry!"

"Okay, you are in vain, this is Qin Qiong's idea!" Liu De teased with a smile, then nodded, agreeing: "You are right, Qin Qiong is indeed suitable to lead the cavalry, then Qin Qiong Transferred to your command, as the commander of the cavalry army!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Liu De pointed to the school field, and continued to talk to Bai Qi: "Maybe there is the cavalry general you want here! You can take a good look!"

"Oh? It seems that the lord has discovered some great person! That minister should take a good look at it!" Bai Qi straightened his body and said to Liu De.

"when!"

In the afternoon, the gong finally sounded.

This represented the beginning of the equestrian competition in the afternoon.

The rules of the equestrian assessment are very simple. Ten wooden figures are placed on the school field, and a wooden plank is placed on each of the wooden figures. The distance between the wooden figures varies from near to far. There are no rules to follow. Stab left and right on the galloping horse, stabbing down the plank on the wooden dummy's head, but the wooden dummy cannot fall down.

Of course, the speed of the horse must be required. The wooden man is equivalent to the enemy. The enemy will not wait for you to stab him down slowly. Of course, it is not allowed to stop the horse, and it is not allowed to turn the horse's head. The assessment is over.

Knocking down nine or ten pieces is excellent, seven or eight is good, five or six is ​​qualified, and four or less is bad.The standard is the same as that of archery.

Those who have war horses can ride their own war horses. For those without war horses, the army has prepared more than a hundred war horses for them. It's not that they don't want to prepare more. It's just that Liu De doesn't have many war horses, so he can spare a hundred or so. It's already very good, but changing to riding is also a test of their ability to recognize horses.

The same is true for weapons, but all Yannan prepared were standard long spears and long pole swords. If you use them directly, they will definitely be very unfamiliar, and they must not be as good as the weapons you are used to.

Due to the reason of the school field, this equestrian competition can only be carried out by two people. On the contrary, Liu De and others in the stands can see the competition clearly, but the time may be longer.

At the beginning, everyone was more excited and excited, but equestrianism was obviously more difficult than archery. Many people were even knocked off their horses by war horses, which made the people outside the venue burst into laughter. At least in the past few days. The capital of bragging with other people is gone.

It also made Liu De full of black lines, quite depressed. If this martial arts fails to be held, it will definitely be a blow to his prestige, and his family will also secretly discredit him.

But with Yu Chigong present, this martial arts exercise is definitely very brilliant, the family's wish is about to come to nothing!

When Yu Chigong got on the horse, Liu De cheered up. No matter how low his political affiliation was, Bai Qi knew that this person was Liu De's concern, so he straightened his back and looked carefully.

The horse under Yu Chigong's crotch was selected by him from hundreds of horses. It can be seen that Yu Chigong's vision is absolutely good.

What Yu Chigong was holding was a horse lance. Compared with a longer spear, a horse lance had no advantage in this kind of competition. The horse lance was more powerful than a long spear, but it took a lot of effort to wield it, while a long spear was more flexible.

Oh, by the way, Qin Qiong is also good at using Ma Qiang.

Yu Chigong's appearance also aroused the cheers of the surrounding people, because Yu Chigong's impression was too deep, he was the first strong man who defeated ten people in a row for such a long time.

Too many people put their treasure on Yu Chigong, and the casino owner is also a discerning person. He didn't want to lose money, so he lowered Yu Chigong's odds again and again.

Well, very businessman.

Yu Chigong's face was dark, and he couldn't see any expression at all. When Ma Qian raised it slightly, his aura changed, as sharp as a sword drawn out of its sheath.

The soldiers on the side raised the command flag high, and Yu Chigong slowly tightened the reins, ready to go.

The flag fell in an instant.

The war horse also followed Yu Chigong's shout, the horse's hooves were raised high, and smoke and dust were kicked up.

"So fast!"

The people behind exclaimed.

Many people in front deliberately lowered the speed of their horses in order to be able to hit the wooden boards, and almost passed slowly. Compared with them, Yu Chigong really treated the competition venue as a battlefield, and his legs clamped tightly on the horse. Belly, constantly urging the horse to run forward, which made all the generals on the high platform appreciate it very much, Bai Qi also nodded secretly, such a strong man was born for the battlefield.

In Yu Chigong's hands, Ma Leng was like a swimming dragon, as fast as lightning, the tip of the lance kept tapping, knocking down the plank on the wooden man.

Seeing the planks being knocked down to the ground, the surrounding people seemed to be on stimulants, their adrenal glands were soaring, they kept howling, cheering for Yu Chigong, but another person who appeared with Yu Chigong received a cold reception , No one paid attention to him at all.

Because Yu Chigong's performance was so brilliant that no one could block his light, and everyone became Yu Chigong's foil.

The recorder roared loudly: "All ten boards have been knocked down, the result is excellent!"

"Wow!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Yu Chigong's achievements, the people around became even more excited. Apart from cheering for Yu Chigong's wonderful performance, another reason was that many people put their treasures on Yu Chigong's body, obviously making a lot of money a sum.

Liu De asked Bai Qi next to him: "How is it? How is this person?"

Bai Qi applauded lightly, looking at Yu Chigong with fiery eyes
Bai Qi excitedly said to Liu De: "My lord, this minister wants it. His riding skills are really beyond most people!"

"Okay, let him join your cavalry army. If he can win the champion, make him the captain and let him be Qin Qiong's deputy general. If he can't win, let him take the post of chief, and think about it later." If you get promoted, use your military merits in exchange for it!"

Liu De said to Bai Qi.

"Yes!"

But at this time, there was a sudden noise outside the school grounds, everyone looked back, it turned out to be Dai Zong, isn't he in Jinyang?A question arose in everyone's mind, did something happen?
Dai Zong's boots were covered with dirt, and his whole body was drenched in sweat. It can be seen that Dai Zong had indeed suffered a lot during this journey, and the road was very difficult and muddy.

"Lord!"

Dai Zong came to Liu De, knelt down on one knee, and handed the bamboo tube in his arms to Liu De's hand. The bamboo tube contained Jinyang's military report.

Dai Zong said to Liu De: "My lord, General Peng and Wei Xiaowei took advantage of Yang Bi's troops to attack Jinyang and captured Changyang City. They also defeated Yang Bi's troops outside the city and wiped out [-] troops. With [-] prisoners, the rest of the defeated army fled in all directions, and the leader Yang Bi disappeared, our army won a big victory!"

"Good! Enjoy! What a delight!"

When Liu De heard it, he yelled, as if drinking a stream of ice spring on a hot day, Liu De never thought that the sent Peng Yue and Wei Yan would give him such a surprise. It was already considered a victory for our own side, but I didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy.

If it wasn't for the fact that the system hadn't informed Liu De of the two, Liu De would have thought they were dead in battle!

Everyone behind Liu De also bowed to Liu De one after another: "Congratulations, my lord!"

Liu De waved his hand and ordered: "Notify the whole state of the news of this great victory, and declare that Peng Yue is Zhenwei General (sixth rank), Wei Yan is partial general, and each will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold and five pieces of brocade. Reward!"

Peng Yue was suddenly promoted from partial general to Zhenwei general, and became a military general in the forefront. This is already a very high honor. Compared with Peng Yue's record, it is too brilliant.

With a mere 20 men attacking Yang Bi's army of nearly [-] troops, although Yang Bi led only [-] vanguards, after Peng Yue defeated the [-] vanguards, he directly attacked the large army marching slowly in the rear without stopping. There was no resistance.

A male lion breaks into a flock of thousands of sheep, can you still expect the flock to kill the lion?

It's a pity that Peng Yue's troops are too few, otherwise the record may be doubled, then Peng Yue may really be the most powerful in Hebei, but such a record is enough to make Peng Yue famous in Hebei.

Of course, Liu De would not hesitate to offer rewards, which Peng Yue and Wei Yan deserved.

The big victory came at the right time!Liu De thought to himself.It has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army and the people, and it also lets those aristocratic families who are a little restless see who is in charge of this Yanzhou!

Sure enough, when the news spread to the school grounds, not only the people were cheering, but even the people in the school grounds who participated in the martial arts were determined to join a thriving force, and there would be a lot of opportunities. !

When the news spread to all parts of Yanzhou, some aristocratic families who were constantly criticizing Liu De for violating the law of their ancestors also kept their voices silent and continued to wait for the moment when Liu De showed his flaws.

Of course, the martial arts continued.

Everyone who participated in the martial arts later was also in high spirits, and Liu De also discovered that there were a few good seedlings among them. It is not easy to achieve good equestrian performance.

Liu De asked about the identities of Zheng Fu and the others. He did not expect that two-thirds of them were descendants of aristocratic families.

But in comparison, the resources they obtain are far higher than those of the poor, such as equestrianism and riding. The common people have no money to prepare war bows and horses, and they will definitely be left behind by these aristocratic families.

Fortunately, the aristocratic families generally resist martial arts, otherwise the aristocratic families would occupy more positions.

Of course, in Liu De's view, these low-status descendants are more worthy of being wooed, because they are not high-status in the family, they will be discriminated against, and even make things difficult for them. .

Only by themselves can they improve their status.

After these aristocratic sons gain more glory, they will attract more people to join the army or participate in martial arts. These aristocratic sons born in martial arts are naturally opposed to the concept of the aristocratic family, and they will also help themselves to divide and attack the aristocratic family .

Of course, this will also cause the family to infiltrate the army, which is unavoidable, but in Liu De's view, this is not a problem.
