67. People who write as mercenaries, read as cannon fodder
Most of the mercenary camps are Greeks, and there are not many mercenaries from other areas. Therefore, Li Shushi's appearance looks a bit different. After all, even if they have black hair, black eyes and sunburned
Wheat-colored skin, but there are fundamental differences in face shape between Orientals and Europeans.
And it was precisely this difference that attracted some malicious eyes as soon as they entered the camp.
"Hey~ we seem to be being targeted, but some people seem to say that these Greeks are not easy to mess with."
Li Shushi blew a whistle that was not too loud, and his behavior attracted "laughing" from the four adults. Obviously, Li Shushi's skills also need to be improved in this regard, and it can also be seen that these four adults are now
Quite relaxing.
"Isn't it just fighting? When I was a child, I often fought with the older children in the village. After I was defeated, I took the children from the village to other villages to fight. Speaking of which, many people around me now are
We know each other like this, it’s really hard to get acquainted without fighting.”
Well, I didn’t expect that Xiao Zhao, who usually appears as a refined image or a tough-faced coach, also has such a "dark history". However, this experience obviously resonated with the other three adults, and they all began to talk about their own experiences back then.
Of course, the contents of the "great achievements" were "very bloody and violent", and without exception, they returned victorious.
Although there must be bragging in it, both Li Shushi and Xiao Jia Kui believe that there shouldn't be too much of it. After all, who are these four? They are all fierce generals in the Bingzhou Army, even if they are
When I was a child, I didn't have the martial arts skills I have now, but I think that extraordinary talent should have been revealed since childhood.
So, after a series of self-revealing and bragging, everyone seemed to have forgotten the unfriendly looks around them.
It's just that they can ignore those unfriendly eyes, but the owners of those eyes don't seem to intend to ignore them.
"Bang!"
While Li Shushi and Xiao Jia Kui were listening to the story of four adults with great interest, a dull sound of gun collision was heard, and before Li Shushi could react, a figure had already flown out from the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong?" Li Shushi, who didn't notice what just happened, asked.
"I felt like I had touched something soft, and then I looked up and found nothing."
Dian Wei seemed to be very honest and innocent and said to Li Shushi while scratching his head, as if the murderous man who just told how he went to fight alone and killed his enemy with a sword never existed at all.
However, Dianwei no longer needed any more explanations, because a group of Greeks speaking a language that Li Shushi couldn't understand had already gathered around. At this time, Li Shushi's first reaction was, "Why can't I learn more Latin?"
Where is the text?"
Of course, it's too late to think about learning another foreign language now, and even if you don't understand what those big men with fierce faces want to express, there will definitely be no misunderstandings, especially the kind of or gibberish.
Grinding your teeth, cracking your finger bones, or constantly bulging your muscles into an exaggerated shape.
To be honest, Li Shushi really felt disappointed when he looked at these Greek mercenaries in front of him. After all, when he thought that the Greek soldiers were not as good as the ones Li Shushi saw when he entered this fantasy world, he was wearing bright metal armor.
The person suspected of being a general should at least be a well-disciplined and well-equipped unit exuding a terrifying aura.
But now these Greek mercenaries who plan to challenge or give them a "killing stick" have completely subverted Li Shushi's previous fantasy - there is no helmet like a cockscomb, no shiny metal armor, and even more
There were no reflective shin guards, and the only thing that was still familiar was the leather battle skirt, but it was already a little white.
Although they also knew the rules of private fighting in the military camp and did not bring any lethal weapons or shields, looking at their scarred leather armor, which could not be said to be in tatters but had questionable protection, or simply exposed their entire arms,
Commoners, it should be said that these people are worthy of being called mercenaries, at least in terms of their own defense, they really cannot compare with the regular army.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of mercenaries cannot be judged by the quality of their equipment, because any mercenary who can survive multiple battles at least has above-average abilities in combat skills and other skills related to battlefield survival.
At least they should know very well when not to charge too fast to avoid getting killed, and when to fight tooth and nail to stay alive.
"It seems that we can't be lenient. In order not to cause more trouble in the future, it seems that we should act more decisively."
"Zilong, Bo Ren, Zhong Kang and I are guarding a corner alone. Shu Shi, you and Jia Kui are supporting us, especially Jia Kui, just to let those people see what you are doing with those damn guys who like to play with fire.
I’ve learned something.”
"I said Fengxian, aren't you afraid that if you go too far and get killed?"
"As long as you blow them up, it's enough. If you're almost dead and you rush in, it's a worthy death."
So, the four macho men who were driven to ecstasy by all kinds of words and doctrines finally had a chance to exercise their muscles and bones, and in the way they liked and were best at. Should the Greeks instead observe a moment of silence?
However, to Li Shushi's expectation, the battle did not show a one-sided trend. Even with the addition of Jia Kui's strategies and Li Shushi's tried-and-tested corpse energy, even without the presence of these assistants, the side would still be slightly defeated.
A little loss.
It was only at this time that Li Shushi calmed down from the originally venting battle and began to carefully observe his opponent, and then discovered the reason why his side was working so hard.
It's not that their strength is poor, but that their opponents have more or less restrained their own performance for some reason.
Although located on the coast of the Mediterranean, the races here are not as tall and majestic as those of Gaul and Germany in Northern Europe. However, they have been at war with Scythia and Thrace, the enemies in the north and east, so that the mercenaries who can survive the war are all
warriors who were good at fighting, and the Greek Federation continued to pay tribute to these two peoples.
Immigration and occupation of the residential areas of these ethnic groups also indirectly promoted the racial integration of Greeks and these northern ethnic groups, resulting in genetic improvement. However, the status of these mixed-race people in Greece is not high, so these possessors are better than the Greeks.
The genetic warriors basically ended up in this place.
In fact, hundreds of years later, a very powerful warrior was born among the Thracians on the Balkan Peninsula. He led a group of slaves to defeat the elite Roman legions. This man's name was
——Spartacus. Another important reason lies in the fight itself.
After all, the four of them are warriors who are used to fighting on the battlefield. Countless battles in the past have made them accustomed to using their weapons to attack the opponent's body where it can cause the most damage, striving to kill their opponent in the simplest way, thereby reducing the number of enemies.
It is not an exaggeration to call this behavior pattern instinctive due to the possibility of harm to oneself.
But let’s not talk about their bare hands for now, because even with their bare hands they can still cause huge damage to the enemy. However, they chose to fight at this time instead of intending to kill people, so the four people who were used to killing people began to become a little unsure of their sense of proportion.
In other words, killing is very easy for the four fierce generals, but how to make the opponent get hurt and withdraw from the battle without causing fatal damage to the opponent is not easy.
Therefore, it is commendable that the four cowardly people can exert half of their strength. And because the combat effectiveness is reduced, the damage to the opponent becomes unstable, and this also makes the opponent's counterattack become more calm, and even possible.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, he "killed" four people by exchanging injuries for injuries.
Apportion the damage to everyone, and the four people must also take into account Li Shushi and Xiao Jia Kui, who are protected in the middle, so that the other party has time to make arrangements calmly. Even if the total damage suffered by the other party is more, the situation will not be the same.
But it was an unprecedented disadvantage to our own side. If it weren't for the spells of Xiao Jia Kui and Li Shushi, the four of them might have been even more dangerous.
Of course, it’s hard to say what the situation would have been like without these two trolls.
"No, it's us who will suffer if this continues. Let's go and die. This isn't the real world anyway!"
After finding the root of the problem, the next solution will be more targeted, and Li Shushi also plans to do some testing. After all, the other party should have a bottom line in his heart. Even if this is an illusory world, based on the worlds he has experienced before
There is no big difference between the reactions of the characters inside and the real world outside.
In other words, unless these mercenaries are a group of desperate desperadoes, otherwise...
Just as Li Shushi thought, when there were people who were seriously injured and died frequently among the Greeks, those Greeks obviously looked shaken, and the ferocious and fierce fighting methods of the four fierce generals who let go of their hands and feet made them even more...
I became a little timid. After all, this is a military camp, not a battlefield. If you join and die, you won't get anything.
The battle was finally reversed! Those Greeks who planned to give Li Shushi and his party a "killing stick" were beaten severely by Li Shushi and his party. Looking at the Greeks who were wailing away, Li Shushi said that he was in a very happy mood now.
"Dicaeus hasn't met an opponent for so long. You were able to defeat him and his men. It's really amazing. But why don't you join your country's army instead of coming to our mercenaries?"
A Greek who seemed to know some ancient Persian saw that Li Shushi and his group had won, so he took the initiative to join them.
"For many reasons, many reasons that I don't want to talk about."
"It doesn't matter, there are many people with stories here. But are you interested in becoming our leader? Although you are very powerful, I have heard that the young man who is our opponent is very powerful."
PS: Today is the day when the Battle of Kursk began, the largest tank battle in World War II and history. Of course, although both sides invested an astonishing number of tank troops, this battle was not just a stage for tank performances.
Together with the Battle of the Ardennes on the Western Front, it constitutes the most classic part of the Battle of the Bulge.
By the way, after the Battle of Kursk, the T-34's status in the history of war surpassed that of the German "Tiger", "Leopard" and other tanks, because the former is more suitable for a symmetrical war because it is more
It is easy to assemble, costs less, and consumes less materials. It can be said to be the best example of a weapon in a war of attrition. The only thing that can rival or even surpass it is the Forever Automatic Rifle, also made by the Soviets.
The king - AK47.
PS2: Today is the day when Comrade Zhang Aiping, the general of the Republic, passed away. In fact, we have never known much about this general’s achievements before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Maybe many people don’t know much either, but this general actually led the entire two bombs and one satellite work.
The general who also presided over the initial development and testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles is a figure that no countryman can ignore, especially because there was a crazy and chaotic era in the background of all this success.
PS3: Today is the day that Japan’s former Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda passed away. This post-war number one democrat was the heir of Kishi Nobusuke’s faction within the Liberal Democratic Party (later handed over to the famous Koizumi), and another democrat representative Sato Eisaku
The successor to the Prime Minister, a politician who himself had continuously cooperated with the US Empire to prevent the Republic from restoring its seat in the United Nations General Assembly when he was Foreign Minister, has established the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan after taking office, and at the same time signed the "Japan-China Peace and Friendship Agreement".
