Chapter 3 He Cao (Fifth Level) General Qian Shixiong is by no means a qualified teacher, or in other words, he is suspected of taking revenge for personal gain. Within five days, he made Li Xu fall off his horse at least twenty times. Fortunately, he followed
The weather is getting warmer and the ground has begun to soften. When fighting, the weapons of the two of them were wrapped in a thick layer of white felt. Otherwise, they would not have to participate in the Battle of Liaodong. Now Li Xu can retire due to injury.
But these somersaults were not in vain. At least Li Xu understood the difference between fighting on the battlefield and fighting in ordinary times. Thinking about how bold he was to replace Liu Hongji in the competition that day, he kept laughing at himself for being stupid. If it weren't for Qian Shixiong's desire to reconcile that day.
With my thoughts, even three Li Xus couldn’t support five people meeting each other.
"The body, the body and the war horse move together. The movements must be accurate, not fast, but accurate. Don't worry about the moves. The moves are dead. People should be careful when they are alive. The attack is here again!" Qian Shixiong shouted, once
Confucianism can be taught after a good fight. This is his evaluation of Li Xu. From the exchange of blows, he knew that Li Xu did not have the foundation laid since childhood. This young man can achieve today's achievements on bow and horse.
It was because of his own hard work and later meeting the famous coppersmith that Qian Shixiong did not teach Li Xu any tricks. He just used Ma Shan's common tricks and repeatedly dismantled them to cultivate his reaction speed on the battlefield.
and adaptability
A battle between two armies is different from a private fight. Unless the opponent's general's heart is filled with lard, a fool would leave a large number of soldiers unused unless he rushes up to challenge them in a duel. Therefore, the strength of the troops is more important than the exquisite skills of the soldiers.
The degree of cooperation and personal response speed can make the correct response at the moment when the two horses meet, which is the key to saving life and winning. The two horses are staggered, and no one is qualified to pursue the victory or defeat. There are new enemies ahead of you. What you missed
The opponent naturally has teammates from his team to greet him.
With this idea in mind, Qian Shixiong's men naturally use the most commonly used and most powerful moves on the battlefield. He has been with the army for many years and has killed countless people. The same moves used by him are naturally very powerful compared to ordinary people.
Li Xu was able to deal with these tricks. Naturally, he will not die easily due to lack of experience when he goes to the battlefield in the future. No matter how many times he falls off his horse, no matter how hard he falls, it will not be unfair.
After witnessing the encounter between Qin Ziying and his fiancée, Li Xu determined in his heart to build something good so that his wife, children, and children would not be bullied in the future. So no matter how hard Qian Shixiong threw him or hit him painfully, he gritted his teeth and persisted for half a month.
After that, his martial arts skills did not improve much, but his skills improved day by day. At the beginning, Qian Shixiong could use 70% of his strength to dismount him within ten encounters. Later, he wanted to do it again.
If Li Xu is defeated, he will have to put in all his efforts and put in a lot of effort.
During the free time between the two of them, Qin Ziying and Li Waner also came to join in the fun. Qian Shixiong felt guilty for forcing Qin Ziying's fiancée away that day, so he readily agreed. What is impressive is that Qin Ziying, who was born in a civil service, is in good health.
Although he is not as strong as Li Xu, his perseverance is even more astonishing than Li Xu. On the school grounds, no one ever heard him cry out for tiredness or pain. Occasionally Qian Shixiong made a strong move and knocked him off his horse. In a moment, everyone could see him.
He patted the dirt off his leather armor, gritted his teeth and climbed onto the saddle again.
Although Li Waner is a woman, she is also very serious when it comes to learning martial arts. In addition to learning some coordination skills from Qian Shixiong and gaining experience in battles between the two armies, she usually drags all the opponents she can find to fight against Liu Hongji, Wang Yuantong, Li Xu,
Anyone who could be pulled to practice with her was harassed by her almost every day. Everyone saw that she was young and merciful because she was a girl, but she often found a flaw and chased and beat them for a few days.
, Wang Yuantong and Qi Poning were afraid of the second young lady of the Li family, and ran away when they heard her laughter. Only Liu Hongji and Li Xu couldn't defeat her, and had to spend some time practicing with her every day.
"Brother Zhongjian, you will protect me, right!" When there were few people, Li Waner would raise her neck and ask questions frequently. It seemed that if she didn't remind her every few hours, Li Xu would forget about her responsibilities, no matter if she got a positive answer from Li Xu.
, or it was just a perfunctory statement, she would smile brightly, wave the weapon in her hand and add: "I will also protect myself and my father, Shimin, Yuanji, mother and elder brother."
Li Xu smiled and smoothed Wan'er's wind-blown hair. As for the reason why Li Wan'er suddenly became obsessed with martial arts, he knew very well that on the day of the conflict between the government soldiers and the food guards, Tang Gong Li Yuan clearly showed his old demeanor.
It was just a short moment. For a sensitive girl, it already made her realize that she had to grow up. Looking at Wan'er at this time, Li Xu was just like looking at himself before leaving Yixian.
One day, when it is discovered that the usually tall and burly father is no longer as strong as a giant tree, all children will force themselves to grow up as quickly as possible. There is no difference between the children of common people and the children of princes.
Usually when everyone is drinking together, Qian Shixiong and others always like to talk about some topics about this expedition to Liaodong. As for him, Meng Jincha, Mai Jie and other senior generals of the imperial army, the preparations made by the Sui Dynasty for the Eastern Expedition.
The position of the army and the movements of the imperial court are very common topics of discussion. But for the two auxiliary corpsmen Li Xu and Liu Hongji, these topics of discussion are big secrets that are very difficult for them to access. "His Majesty the Emperor is in Nansang, Jicheng"
"Two altars of Sheji were built on the main river, and square walls were set up to perform social etiquette." What about "the army gathered in Zhuo County on the Xinsi day of the first lunar month (the first day of the Lunar New Year), and everyone had not celebrated the New Year, and accepted His Majesty's review", what about "You Shang Fang Department Supervisor"
Geng Xun tried to stop the Eastern Expedition and was demoted from his post to the people." and so on.
Through these discussions at the wine table, Li Xu vaguely deduced the general movement of the army. His Majesty the Emperor officially issued an edict to attack Goguryeo on the second day of the first lunar month of this year. The specific number of the army was 1.13 million, divided into left and right.
On both wings, there are twelve armies on each wing. The first army on the left takes the Carved Road, and the second army takes the Changcen Road. The map has been flattened to the Lelang Road of the 12th Army. The same goes for the right 12th Army. From the first
The army's Nianchan Road was paved all the way to the Twelfth Army's Lelang Road. Twenty-four troops swept in like a mighty tide.
What confuses Li Xu is that on the map of Liaodong he currently describes based on Khitan hunters, there are no 24 roads that can lead to the west side of Mazishui (Yalu River). It is easy to say that it is somewhat flat to cross the horse.
After the rescue, Khitan hunters said that the mountains over there are close to each other, and the total number of roads that can be walked is no more than three. How the twenty-four armies marched together to move mountains and fill seas, I am afraid only your wise and powerful Majesty knows.
Doubts were doubts, but Li Xu did not dare to ask these questions to anyone. From the year before last year to now, he has experienced too many storms at a young age. Every time he experienced it, he would become more cautious. Although in the eyes of others, he would become more cautious.
Here, at this time, he was still a silly boy who didn't know anything about things, but Li Xu knew that he was no longer the ignorant boy back then. Sometimes, when he thought of himself back then, he could even face the thin boy in his memory.
The figure smiled knowingly, although this smile occasionally contained a bit of desolation that was inappropriate for his age.
According to Qian Shixiong and others, the emperor's Liao army set off from Zhuojun on the third day of the first lunar month. Each army was forty miles apart, and the company and battalions advanced in advance. The front of each army drummed one section, big drum, small drum and harpoon, Changming, and Zhongming.
There are eighteen instruments each for singing, drums, two gold cymbals, one cymbal at the back, two cymbals, four singing flutes and bamboo instruments, one festival drum, one Wu blowing bamboo flute, four transverse flutes each, and ten large horns.
Eight instruments, with several small horns, were used to play the drums across the sea, in order to make the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers hear the drum music across the sea, know the power of the Sui Dynasty, and come to surrender without fighting (Note 1) Because the military appearance must be maintained, the soldiers and horses cannot move too fast.
(Liaoxi County, Jinzhou) An altar was set up in Tuli Mountain to worship the Yellow Emperor and all the gods of the past dynasties. On the fifth day of February, the army rested for a day and continued on the sixth day of February. Li Xu calculated based on the speed of the army from Zhuojun to Wanghaidun that the fastest to the next day was
In the middle of the month, His Majesty the Emperor was able to complete the last more than one hundred miles and arrive at Huaiyuan Town, the last stop on the west bank of the Liao River. "This time I will personally conquer the Long Live Imperial Palace. As long as you have military exploits, no one will dare to swallow your son, your bow and arrow."
You can shoot so accurately, don't you want to come back with some fame?" Every time he went to a banquet, Qian Shixiong always used wine to fan the flames. Although Li Xu had clearly rejected the offer of promotion from General Mai Tiezhang, he still
The young man in front of me is unwilling to be buried in the food protection army. His character and martial arts are all top choices. With Old General Mai as the backing, he can make great achievements in a matter of days. There is no suspense in the battle of Liaodong. Don't take advantage of the opportunity under the eyes of the emperor.
It would be a pity to have meritorious service and be dragged behind Li Yuan, a fallen prince.
Li Xu smiled and said nothing again. The imperial commander's personal military expedition would not be deprived of his military achievements. He did not believe this statement. When Uncle Jiu followed the former Jin Dynasty king, it is difficult to say who will deprive the flag-shooting merits of the current emperor's southern expedition.
Anyway, if Marshal Gao Ying, who is known for his fairness, can show favoritism, his position will not be too small.
It is true to claim fame and fame immediately. However, in the Battle of Goryeo, from Xu Dayan to Old Master Yang, no one thought that the Sui Dynasty had a good chance of winning.
In Li Xu's young dream, he wanted to be a general, but before becoming a general, he wanted to live in peace for his young dream, and also for the sake of maintaining the respect his father received from the Li family in Yi County for a few more days.
