Chapter 379: Imperial Gift, the First Guard of the Ming Dynasty
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Cao Bing gasped violently and watched the soldiers in front of him fall to the ground, unable to get up again.
Even the movements of the flag bearers around him are becoming sluggish.
He really wanted to take first place, because Cao Bing knew in his heart that his father had been watching him.
As the eldest son in the family, Cao Zhen had very high expectations for Cao Bing since he was a child, and spent a lot of money to find guidance from various famous teachers.
If you can't read the military books yourself, you will read them together because you are raising your son.
Cao Bing knew very well that his father had spent a lot of effort and effort to enter His Royal Highness Taisun's Xuanjia Guard this time.
Relying on strength, Cao Bing is actually far from enough.
And there are many people who want to compete for this position.
Duke Liang Guo had made it known earlier that he should not recommend descendants of nobles who have little ability to go there.
Although Cao Bing is not bad, compared to other military commanders and nobles, he can only be said to be in the upper reaches, not the top.
Therefore, he cherishes it very much.
More importantly, the opportunity of this military exercise is precious to everyone.
Not only His Royal Highness Taisun, but also His Majesty braved the cold wind to observe in person.
This is a great honor for any soldier.
However, the soldiers around him could no longer hold on.
Cao Bing's flag will soon be broken through the defense line and snatched away.
At this time, no one would let him go because of his identity.
That's right.
It's not that Cao Bing is seizing other people's flags, but that he is protecting his own flag.
At present, except for Dong Quan who captured Zhang Zuo's flag, everyone else is holding on to their positions. After Dong Quan captured the flag, he himself lost the ability to attack.
Cao Bing is now resisting the impact from the soldiers led by Wu Hai.
"Victory is at hand, gentlemen, follow me and charge!!!"
Wu Hai's eyes were burning.
He is not a military commander, but he is also the eldest son in his family. His father is just an ordinary military household, not even a small flag officer.
What he has achieved today is all due to his own hard work.
With no background, I have been promoted step by step until now. The sacrifices involved are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
He is already thirty, but he has not married or started a family.
After fierce competition and huge expenses, he finally qualified to enter the Xuanjia Guard and become a relative of his grandson.
He attaches more importance to the opportunity of this military exercise than anyone else.
Only among the Xuanjia Guards could he display all his talents without fear.
It's not like in other health centers where you have to worry about everything you do.
If we say that among the entire Xuanjia Guard, he, Wu Hai, is the one who has grown the fastest.
In fact, he didn't want to face Cao Bing, but when the lot was drawn, Dong Quan was on his left and Cao Bing was on his right.
After weighing the balance, it can only be Cao Bing.
"Block!!! Block!!!"
Cao Bing let out a huge roar, and the soldiers were shocked and immediately gained a little more strength.
At this moment, Wu Hai looked back and looked forward with a look of reluctance.
Attacking others requires paying a greater price.
Each thousand households has ten hundred households, which is equivalent to ten centurions.
While attacking others, you must also leave at least three centurions to guard the flag and your own position.
Now Wu Hai uses 70% of his troops to attack Cao Bing with 100% of his troops.
The drumming in the ears became more and more intensive, which meant that the military exercise was about to end.
Wu Hai's eyes flashed with light as he observed the situation.
Now Dong Quan and Pan Rong are confronting each other. Dong Quan, who has taken over the two positions, can only forcefully attack Pan Rong.
A flash of hesitation flashed in Wu Hai's eyes.
If the 300 people who were guarding the position were mobilized now, they would definitely be able to overwhelm Cao Bing's position, but there would be a risk of being attacked by others.
If Cao Bing's side cannot be defeated in a short period of time, nothing will be gained.
"Dasun, do you think he can?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
Of course Zhu Ying understood. The most exciting part now is the battle between Wu Hai and Cao Bing. On Dong Quan and Pan Rong's side, one wants to be moderate and the other wants to be safe, so naturally they will not fight too hard.
"He won't." Zhu Ying said with certainty.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically: "His victory is within easy reach. Even if his own flag is taken away, based on the current situation, he can definitely win Cao Bing's position."
"This way, it is not considered a defeat. And if he is fast enough, he can also win the flag and hold the position."
"Why is Dasun so sure that he won't take a chance?"
Zhu Ying heard this and said confidently: "Because the meaning is different."
"The teachings Xuanjiawei received were not just about fighting, but also the cultivation of one's own qualities."
"Those flags are just flags in our opinion, but what they represent is equivalent to a city. In other words, in this city, there are not only soldiers, but also people."
"Although it is said that one general can make thousands of dead bones, but these dead bones are definitely not built on the people, but on the enemy's army."
"It doesn't matter that he can't attack this time, but abandoning the people just for himself is not in line with the teachings of Xuanjiawei."
"The Xuanjia Guards that Sun Er wants to create, or in other words all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the future, must become the guardians of the people and the solid stones of the Ming Dynasty, rather than tools leading to the top of power."
"You can be ambitious, but the integrity of protecting your family and country is the most important. If you can't do this, then what's the difference between the soldiers trained by your grandson and the warlords who separatist forces?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Let's see."
With the sound of the last bronze drum, Wu Hai finally did not give the order to mobilize the 300 people in the defensive position to participate.
However, Cao Bing's soldiers firmly resisted the attack of Wu Hai's soldiers.
At the end, less than half of the soldiers were still standing on the battlefield, just over 2,000, and almost all of them were injured.
Immediately after the military exercise ended, all the military officers quickly moved into action, and a large number of injured soldiers were carried out of the military exercise venue.
Other soldiers were also helping to carry people. In just two sticks of incense, the injured soldiers were being taken care of properly.
During this period, no one urged me.
Because everyone knows that every soldier here is precious.
Even the eyes of many guards station commanders had a green glow.
Some generals even couldn't help but wonder if they could arrange for soldiers who were seriously injured to be sent to their own guard posts. How could the entire guard post be combined with the strength of the entire guard post, not to mention being as powerful as the Xuanjia Guards?
Lift it up.
That general doesn't want all the troops under his command to be elite generals.
The remaining soldiers on the battlefield quickly regrouped and arranged themselves neatly, just like when they came in. Their swords were broken, but they stood like sculptures.
"Wonderful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but praise.
The demeanor of these soldiers has reached a certain peak.
The scene of the military exercise just now is still vivid in my mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang took two steps forward until he reached the edge of the platform.
Looking at the burly and strong soldiers below, Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Whether you are standing or lying outside, you are all good sons and daughters of our Ming Dynasty. We are proud of you."
"With such a majestic spirit, why worry about uneven wars and unrest in the world."
"Today, we specially give the Xuanjia Guard the title of the first guard of the Ming Dynasty!!!"
boom!!!
As these words were spoken, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted Long Live Your Majesty!!!
