A strong wind blew against his face, and Feng Sihai felt a strong force on his face. He sighed in his heart, knowing that he would die.
There was a "pop" sound. The ground in front of me shook, and there was a humming and trembling sound.
Feng Sihai opened his eyes and found that his spear was nailed to the ground in front of him. The barrel of the spear was vibrating and making a buzzing sound. Chen Shi turned over and dismounted, wrapped the horse's rein around the barrel of the spear, and raised his hand.
"General Feng, I accept the concession. However, you cannot lose your weapon on the battlefield. If you lose your weapon, you will be at the mercy of others." Chen Shi said.
Feng Sihai didn't know what to say. He watched Chen Shi turn around and leave, then got on his horse.
"You won't kill me?" Feng Sihai asked.
"Why should I kill you? The Marquis has strictly ordered that we only need to spar without hurting anyone. You and I have no enmity. We will still be brothers in the same camp in the future, and I will never touch you." Chen Shiyi said with a smile.
Feng Sihai said: "But..."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "General Feng, I didn't make a life-or-death decision with you. It's you who wanted to make a life-and-death decision."
Feng Sihai was ashamed and stood there in a daze.
Chen Shi rode his horse back, bowed his hands to Zhang Yanling and said, "Master Marquis, your humble position does not disgrace your mission."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Very good, please step back."
Chen Shi raised his hands and rode off.
Zhang Yanling looked at Meng Liang and said solemnly: "General Meng, do you also want to have a test?"
Meng Liang shook his head and said: "Master Hou, how dare you humble yourself in this position? Master Hou has hidden dragons and crouching tigers under you, how can you be their opponent in this humble position?"
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "General Meng seems to be unconvinced, thinking that my subordinates are too strong. Otherwise, how about a fight with me?"
Meng Liang said hurriedly: "Being humble is not what I mean."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Are you serious about not competing?"
Meng Liang said: "I dare not."
Zhang Yanling stretched out his hand on his waist, holding the short-barreled firecracker in his hand, and quickly applied the medicine. His technique was amazingly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already loaded the ammunition. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the ground in front of him.
Amidst the roar, mud and rocks on the ground flew into the air, and dust flew into the air. Countless lead bullets hit the ground twenty steps away, creating a crater on the ground. The horses on the training ground screamed in panic, and the cavalry used all their strength to control the horses.
Zhang Yanling hooked the trigger with his index finger, circling the short blunderbuss in his hand as if juggling a few times, then inserted it into the leather pouch at his waist with great ease.
The soldiers in the gun squad cheered loudly and were full of admiration. This was not flattery. The Marquis loaded the bullet and fired in one go. His movements were not only skillful but also graceful and unrestrained, and it took less than a few breaths of time. It was really amazing.
"What a pity. My martial arts skills are average, and I like to play with firearms. If you don't compete with me, I won't have a chance to show off. However, firearms are fierce, so it's better not to compete, so as not to hurt others." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Meng Liang's face was shocked, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
It's not that he didn't want to take action just now, but he just felt that it was really inappropriate to do so. It didn't matter whether he won or lost. He would be embarrassed if he lost, and the Marquis would be embarrassed if he won, and he wouldn't be in a good position, so he didn't dare to agree.
But now that he saw Zhang Yanling playing such a trick, Meng Liang was very happy in his heart. If he and the Marquis started a fight, Zhang Yanling would probably use a blunderbuss.
Meng Liang was not afraid of fire cannons. There was a fire cannon team in the Zhenwei camp, which was the standard equipment of every regiment camp. But Meng Liang knew the power of the fire cannons in the regiment camp very well. Humans are like scraping. At most, they can break the flesh and not cause much damage at all. If they are wearing armor, then they can be completely ignored.
Among the regiments, firecrackers are the least popular among people. The firearms in their hands are jokingly called fire sticks and firecrackers. The firecrackers themselves are also ashamed. They usually only wear waist knives and hide the firecrackers in the warehouse to eat ashes. This is because the power of the fire gun is too limited.
But today, the short fire blunderbuss in the hands of the Marquis was obviously different from the fire blunderbuss equipped in the regiment camp, and its power was even more amazing. Although the ground of the teaching ground was mud and stone, it was extremely hard. The fire blunderbuss in the army was fired at the ground, and it was also It only stirred up a few piles of dust. The Marquis's fire cannon can blast large craters into the ground at a distance of twenty steps, and its power can be imagined. If I were to fight with the Marquis, I would probably suffer a big loss.
"Master Hou, where did this fire gun... come from?" a general said blankly.
This man's name was Sun An, one of the ten commanders of the Zhenwei Battalion, and he was in charge of the Thousand Firearms Battalion. He was both shocked and surprised by the power of the firecracker in the hands of the Marquis, so he couldn't help but speak out Inquiry.
Zhang Yanling said: "Why do you ask this?"
Sun An hurriedly said: "My humble position is the Commander-in-Chief of the Firearms Army of Zhenwei Camp. There are no fire guns like this in the hands of the Marquis in the camp. So I ask."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "I see, then I will open your eyes again."
Zhang Yanling waved his hand, and the thirty gunmen dismounted from their horses, quickly put down the long leather pouches on their backs, and took out the black birdguns with shiny barrels.
"Zhao Yuancheng, let the brothers show their skills and open their eyes to the brothers in Zhenwei Camp." Zhang Yanling shouted.
Zhao Yuancheng agreed, glanced around, and gave an order loudly.
"Complete the team, target the southwest direction, a wooden manpost 130 steps away."
The bird gunners moved quickly, lined up in a row, and stood ready facing a group of wooden man stakes punched into the ground in the southwest direction.
The soldiers on the training field were in a daze. A hundred and thirty steps away? These people want to shoot such a long distance with firearms? Are they joking? Although the shapes of the firearms in their hands are a bit weird, they don't have such a long range. Bar.
"Load the bomb, compact it, and apply the primer." Zhao Yuancheng ordered in a voice.
All the guards followed the instructions uniformly, their movements were smooth and skillful, and they were well-trained.
"Aim!...release!" Zhao Yuancheng ordered in a loud voice, dragging his tail.
"Boom boom boom!"
A row of bird cannons spewed out flames and smoke from their muzzles, and the roar was deafening. In the distance, wooden figures made of hardwood nails burst into flames, splattering sawdust and yellow dust, which was very shocking.
These wooden figures were originally erected in a corner of the training grounds for soldiers to train and slash. After being exposed to the sun and rain for many days, they have long since become brittle and rotten. After being exposed to the sun for many days, they have become nothing more than rotten wood. But the rotten wooden figures are It makes the iron bullets shot by the blunderbuss more powerful and adds a lot of visual effects.
The eyes of all the soldiers were about to pop out. This firearm could actually hit a distance of 130 steps, and it could actually smash wood into pieces. This was simply unbelievable.
Sun An opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. His heart was pounding, thinking: "My mother, how come the firearms held by the Marquis' men are so fierce? Compared with their firearms, my men The firegun used was really a piece of scrap metal."
The whole city was stunned and silent. If before, the demeanor and words of Mr. Zhang were disgusting and unreasonable. But now, everyone finally understands why Mr. Zhang is so arrogant. He does have arrogance. capital.
"My fellow soldiers, you have all seen that my generals, Zhang Yanling, are strong generals, and my soldiers are elite soldiers. Their equipment is also good equipment that no one else has, and the firearms are the most powerful firearms you have ever seen. In short, I, my lord,
There are no weak people under my command, let alone a bunch of losers." Zhang Yanling said loudly.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. Zhang Yanling's implication was that they were all trash. If it had been before, Feng Mazi and his group would have jumped up and talked back. But now they have nothing to say.
This group of people usually feel superior because they are the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp. The equipment, weapons and treatment of the border troops and local soldiers are not as good as them, so they are still complacent. But today, they realized that they are like clowns. General Feng
Losing to Chen Shi
One or three moves, in fact, he was defeated in just one move. If it were a real battle between life and death, he would have been dead long ago. The two firearms used by the opponent were both weapons that they had never heard of or seen. They were extremely powerful. There was nothing worth it.
Capital of pride.
"...I have been trusted by the emperor to let me be the admiral of Zhenwei Camp. But actually I was unwilling. Because someone told me that Zhenwei Camp is the last one among the twelve regiments. Zhenwei Camp
The lieutenant general is incompetent, the soldiers are lazy, and military discipline is lacking
, they are just a group of veteran soldiers. They also said that the generals inside formed cliques, embezzled and deducted military pay. The soldiers were neglected in training and had low quality, and they were just a bunch of rabble. After hearing this, I was naturally extremely reluctant to come here to be an admiral.
."
Everyone's face was purple and they were filled with embarrassment. But although what Zhang Yanling said was exaggerated, most of the things he said were not nonsense and were basically the truth. Especially when it came to the generals' embezzlement and deduction of military pay, Meng Liang, Feng Sihai and others
He was even more frightened and had a vague feeling of impending disaster.
"...However, it is hard to disobey the emperor's holy will. As a minister, I should share the emperor's worries. Therefore, I have to come here to take office. Today, I just wanted to see if you are as unbearable as the rumors, and it turned out that it was true.
In this way, standing under the sun for more than an hour is enough to turn you into a ragtag group, not to mention that if the court needs you to fight, you will probably become a group of deserters and dead people on the battlefield. This is absolutely not allowed. "
Zhang Yanling glanced at the audience and repeated loudly: "This is absolutely unacceptable. I don't care how you are on a normal day or how lazy and incompetent you are when other princes are in charge. But now I, Zhang Yanling, am here to supervise Zhenwei Camp.
, I will never allow my soldiers and horses to be a bunch of trash. My generals are a bunch of incompetent, corrupt people. Never."
"...I don't want to pursue or care about everything in the past. But from today on, you must cheer me up and make changes immediately. I have kept the ugly words in my head. From today on, within three months,
You must meet my requirements. After three months, you will be qualified
The ones who are unqualified will stay, and the unqualified ones will come and go from wherever they are, no matter who you love. It doesn’t matter whether you are a general or a soldier. It doesn’t matter whose relative you are, whether you are forced into the regiment camp and live a life with military pay.
Anyone who is unqualified will get out of here. I, Zhang Yanling, will do what I say."
"...As for the assessment standards and items, they will be clearly posted and announced in the future, and I will also have people take you to train. I am not doing this to embarrass you, but I hope you can become a true soldier of the Zhenwei Battalion. I don't want to
In the hands of Zhang Yanling, Camp Zhenwei is still a gathering place for the rabble in the eyes of others. You may not care, but I, Zhang Yanling, do. I, Zhang Yanling, will never allow others to point at my spine and say that Camp Zhenwei, my admiral, is a bunch of rubbish.
.Absolutely not."
"...I may wish to inform you again. As long as you can become qualified soldiers and horses in my eyes, you will enjoy the highest treatment, the best armor, and the best weapons among the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp. You will also have more
Fair opportunity for promotion. I said these words in front of all of you today. If I break my promise in the future, you can point your finger at me and scold me. If I make even a few quibbles, I will be a turtle bastard."
Zhang Yanling's high-pitched and passionate voice echoed in the teaching field, and all the soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion could hear it clearly. They all realized that everything was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
