42. Why do you feel that sometimes the gift is the body?
"Although Zhang Junyi does have some abilities and will surely improve a lot after a year of training, judging from the behavior and cooperation of the caravan guards, he does not have such a strong ability to train troops and command. This businessman
There should be another expert among the team's guards, and that person's level of training and command is probably not much worse than Zi'an's."
More than two hours later, Lu Bu, who was lying in ambush on a small mound, looked at the two sides who were fighting fiercely below with amusement. Although Li Shu used his provocation method to provoke him to the edge of the battlefield, the cold wind had already blown him on the road.
Lu Bu, who had calmed down, looked at the slightly stalemate battle below and was in a mood to explain it to Li Shushi and others who came later.
"A level similar to that of Zian Xiang? It's unbelievable that such a person would serve as a guard for a caravan."
Although throughout the Three Kingdoms, there are few who have better battlefield command capabilities than Gao Shun, but they gradually grew up under the water of countless wars. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms were still in a liquid state, although Gao Shun was still in a liquid state,
It's hard to be called a top battlefield commander, but there shouldn't be many generals in the world who can compare with Gao Shun, who has been training at the border for a long time.
"There is nothing surprising about this. Whether it is the area in the northwest and north of Bingzhou that is close to the border or Liangzhou or Youzhou, where counties and counties are basically bordering the border, those soldiers stationed in the bitter cold places want to provide services for their families.
There are only two ways to send back more property: one is to rob merchants and barbarians; the other is to escort the caravan from being robbed."
Facing Lu Bu's answer, Li Shu was speechless, because he remembered that one of the things that the "flying general" beside him was good at back then was covering his face (this was done entirely to block the wind and sand and not to be recognized).
Lu Bu said that he would never admit that he was a horse thief, and for this reason he had fought countless battles with Gao Shun's army, so he was a man with rich experience.
"Look, the caravans arranged by the caravans below are very compact, and there are still some gaps that allow archers to shoot arrows or infantry to use spears to attack the enemy cavalry. However, the gaps are too small to prevent the opponent's horses from entering.
.Both infantry and archers have good combat awareness, and their movements are concise and practical.
Obviously he is not a novice. In addition to chopping, there seems to be a lot of light cutting techniques. This is probably the very famous Qiang fighting in Xiliang. Interestingly, in this caravan, apart from Jun Yi and his fellow countrymen,
There are actually so many people who are familiar with Qiang Dou, this caravan is really not simple."
Lu Bu continued to comment on the battle below with great interest. As the first person in the military under Li Shushi, his words obviously attracted everyone's attention, including Cao Ren, who had just arrived in Xihe. He also heard from his younger brother on the way here.
Cao Chun Na
He had heard about Lu Bu's reputation. And considering the strength of Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others who had fought against him that night, Cao Ren would not have any contempt for Lu Bu, let alone the warrior's intuition.
danger to the other party.
"What is Qiang Dou? Is it famous?"
I'm afraid only Li Shushi can ask such a stupid question so confidently. However, he is not a military commander and has never practiced martial arts, so he said these words without blushing. Of course, some people may still be secretly grateful in their hearts.
Let's ask him a question.
"I haven't had much contact with Qiang fighting, so I can't understand its essence. It is said to be a fighting method derived from the Qiang people, which can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. It was the first time that this skill was shown to the world.
It was Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, the founding father of the Zhou Dynasty. He brought the fighting skills of his tribe, a type of Qiang fighting, into the army of King Wu of Zhou at that time.
Yicai was able to defeat the Shang Dynasty at that time, but these are also legends. It is not clear whether it is true. However, Qiang fighting does have its own extraordinary features as a close combat method. Although it is not a profound skill, it is
It is very helpful for ordinary soldiers. However, chaos is more suitable for the performance of this skill, so the commander needs to have a certain degree of control."
"That is to say, as long as we can recruit people who are familiar with Qiang fighting, we can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, right?"
After listening to Lu Bu's introduction, Li Shushi's eyes immediately shone. For the current soldiers of Xihe County, any improvement may increase their chances of survival on the battlefield and break the balance called the balance of victory and defeat in war.
"It's possible, but it will take time."
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment before giving Li Shushi a slightly resistant answer, because Lu Bu did not believe that Qiang fighting could fundamentally change the gap between Li Shushi's troops and the Hu cavalry. On the contrary, immature skills would give the enemy more opportunities.
.
"It doesn't matter, Luoyang wasn't built in a day. Anyway, our soldiers were originally a group of farmers and ordinary citizens. They fought by instinct. With a fixed skill, even just a few moves and a few moves are enough as long as they are practical.
, the rest is up to them to understand on the battlefield, and the veterans who can survive will definitely understand a fighting method that suits them."
"What my lord said is true, Bu has learned the lesson."
Lu Bu was convinced by Li Shushi's explanation, because he understood that those who learn Qiang Dou are soldiers who have no foundation in martial arts and have uneven qualifications, rather than generals who have some foundation or family inheritance. In other words, if

together.
"Lord, the attacks of those barbarians seem to have weakened. I am afraid they feel that they cannot gain any advantage, so they want to retreat."
When Li Shushi and Lu Bu were discussing the significance of Qiang fighting to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, Cheng Lian suddenly shouted.
Hearing Cheng Lian's shout, Li Shushi refocused his attention on the battlefield. Sure enough, the Hu cavalry was unable to break through the caravan formation for a long time, and it seemed that the arrows used as long-range means were also exhausted, but there was no one in the car formation.
They were still able to shoot deadly iron arrows, so except for a few of the Hu cavalry who were still trying to attack the car formation, most of them had begun to gather outside the bow and arrow range, obviously either making a final charge or preparing to retreat.
At this time, after a lot of consumption, both sides suffered considerable losses. The Hu cavalry should have left more than 400 corpses based on visual inspection alone. Although it is difficult for the caravan side to judge, it is expected that the Hu cavalry will come.
The arrow rain that just struck would not make these guards too comfortable who had no shields or other things to protect themselves and could only rely on their bodies to block it.
"Although it's still a little imperfect, it's pretty good. My lord, please give me the order."
Then, the orange-red light suddenly lit up, and at the same time, the red and blue lights also lit up one after another. This was Su Xiaoluoli, who had mastered the art of Taiping and could use it unscrupulously, performing her performance.
But obviously compared to Li Shushi's domineering power, although her buffs were numerous, they were much less efficient than Li Shushi's. So when she added attack and defense buffs to several teams, she ran away with a slight groan of displeasure.
"Then gentlemen, the target is the hateful Hu people who don't take our Xihe garrison seriously. We don't need to take prisoners in this battle. We will kill them without mercy!"
After giving the order to attack, Li Shushi handed over the frontline command to Lu Bu, while he continued to observe the changes in the battle situation under the protection of the martial artists and thieves as personal guards. The Xiliang cavalry as personal guards was handed over to Xu Chu
The commander followed Lu Bu and charged together.
Anyway, whether they are martial artists or thieves, their daily training basically does not include equestrian skills. Although there is basically no problem with riding a horse and galloping, there is a lack of training in fighting on horseback. The main reason for this is that their responsibilities basically use
There is no need to charge immediately, and their commander Dian Wei is not good at horse fighting due to his size. If Xu Chu had not learned several horse fighting skills from Cao Chun, I am afraid that the Xiliang cavalry as Li Shushi's personal guard would not be able to fight on horseback.
Trained.
"General, another group of troops rushed over over there. It looks like they should be the Han army."
Lu Bu, who rushed down the hill, was immediately discovered by both the enemy and ourselves. Facing this murderous army that was uncertain about our enemy and our enemy, both sides were extremely vigilant in their hearts.
"The right way, it should be reinforcements. The leader is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, whom I mentioned to you before. It seems that they should be soldiers from Xihe County who came from Lishi City. This battle is almost over."
After seeing Lu Bu's signature Fang Tian painted halberd, Zhang He was already sure that the sudden appearance of this unknown army must be friendly forces from Xihe, and knowing Lu Bu's strength, he knew that this battle was basically over.
There is no suspense anymore.
Although the number of Hu cavalry on the opposite side is still about 2,000, the enemy has lost their spirit and has already thought of retreating. Now facing the addition of such a new force can only speed up their retreat, not to mention Zhang He still has
As Lu Bu got closer and closer to the main battlefield, he found many acquaintances behind him. Zhang He knew the strength of those people very well.
"If it is true as you said, then we have been suffering for so long, and we should let those hateful guys bear our anger. But I still want to confirm for the last time that those people really have
Is it the kind of strength you mentioned?"
The person who responded to Zhang He was a slightly older man next to him. This man was of medium stature, but his skin was dark and rough, his eye sockets were much deeper than the average person, and his hair and beard were also speckled with grayish white. But this man was not at all.
without
It gives people a hint of oldness, but he is tall and tall, with bulging muscles that support his armor. His body always stands like a green pine, and his two eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows are even more terrifying.
The light of man.
However, although this middle-aged man's momentum was astonishing, Zhang He, who had been trained among the strong men around Li Shushi, was not affected at all. Instead, he answered with a slightly nostalgic but extremely firm tone.
"Trust me, you will see results that will surprise you."
p.s. Guess who is this guy next to Zhang He? The hint is quite obvious.
p.s. I had gastrointestinal problems again today, and I feel so weak...
