Chapter 1222: The State of Wei at the End of the Year
"drink!"
"drink!"
"drink!"
Outside the Dredging Camp in the north of Daliang City, the capital of the Wei Dynasty, 60,000 soldiers from the Northern Army were practicing on the white snow. These soldiers were bare-chested and holding wooden sticks as thick as arms with thin sheepskin tied to both ends.
He greeted Tongze who was sparring without reservation.
Although the weather at this time was so cold that the river froze, these shirtless soldiers were covered in hot sweat during the sparring, and even their skin was slightly red.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers swung a wooden stick and struck hard at the jaw of his companion who was sparring with him. Immediately, the companion fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for air and said: "Brother Six, I really...
…It really…can’t be done anymore.”
At this time, the soldier named Sixth Brother was also leaning on a wooden stick and gasping for air. Suddenly, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of something, and quickly whispered: "Xiaosi, get up quickly, 'those guys' are coming..."
The soldier named Xiao Si was panting and motionless.
At this moment, there was only a rustling sound of feet stepping on the snow. Immediately, a general in charge of the drill walked up to Xiao Si who was lying on the ground and kicked Xiao Si lightly with his boot.
Arm, said coldly: "Get up!"
Xiaosi looked at the general with hatred and remained motionless.
Seeing this, the general scolded: "Trash! At this level, even if you go to the battlefield, you will die in vain. Your mother worked hard to give birth to you and raise you. I expect you to protect the family and the country. I
I feel so worthless for her! ... It’s better to raise a pig than to raise you. The pig can be slaughtered and eaten, and the dog can still look after the house. What’s the use of a waste like you living in the world?” After that, he
Seeing that Xiaosi was still slumped on the ground even though his face was filled with anger, he continued to curse: "You look like a coward at first glance. Your father and your mother gave birth to a thing like you. It doesn't seem like it..."
"You are not allowed to humiliate my mother!" Xiao Si roared angrily, struggled to get up from the ground, and waved his fist at the general.
Unfortunately, the general quickly avoided the attack and hit Xiaosi's abdomen with a heavy punch. Then he kicked Xiaosi two feet away with a kick.
"Tsk! He is indeed a waste!" the general said disdainfully.
Xiaosi flushed with anger, struggled to stand up, snatched the wooden stick from Sixth Brother's hand, and swung it towards the general. However, the general saw the right moment and removed the wooden stick with one arm.
With a strong force, he immediately stepped forward and struck Xiao Si on the side of his face with a backhand blow with the back of his right hand, causing the latter to stumble backwards.
Before he could stand firm, he saw the general taking a few steps forward and slamming his arm into Xiaosi's chest, knocking him back more than two feet again.
"Is this Zong Wei...?"
Next to them, the soldier who was called Sixth Brother by Xiaosi was dumbfounded, because the strength displayed by this general was even more powerful than their original uncle. He was worthy of being the Zongwei who was transferred from the Zongfu to train them.
.
"Listen!"
Seeing the soldiers of Beiyi around him turning to look at him, the general from Zongwei said loudly: "The Chu people in the south have reached Yongqiu, and the Koreans in the north are about to capture Hanoi. Right now it's us.
When the life and death of the Wei Dynasty is at stake, I, the man of the Wei Dynasty, should use my flesh and blood as a city wall to protect my family and the country, and protect the thousands of people in the Wei Dynasty!... I allow that there are cowards among you who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Everyone has his own ambitions.
, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to be a hero who protects the country, or whether you want to be a coward who just sits back and watches Wei Wei being trampled by the enemy’s army! But this is a place where only bloody men can stand, cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and cowards.
Pack your bags and get out!... The Northern Army is the elite of the Chu army that Prince Yu has placed great hope on. It is to defeat the Chu army. It will not tolerate even a coward staying here!... If you want to be a hero and save the country,
Or should I be a coward, helplessly watching my compatriots fight bloody battles with the enemy, while he hides in the corner and lives an ignoble existence? You can choose for yourself! If you understand, just keep practicing!"
"..." The surrounding Beiyi soldiers looked at each other in disbelief and continued to sparring hard.
At this time, the general walked up to Xiao Si, looked down at the latter, and said coldly: "As for you trash, I advise you to go back to your father and mother. I believe you can give birth to a coward like you."
I and you, my mother, are also cowardly people. It just so happens that the three of you can hug each other and comfort each other, hahahaha..."
Xiaosi's face flushed angrily, and he struggled to stand up again, trying hard to punch the general out, but unfortunately he was grabbed by the latter: "If you have the ability, just hold on and let me change my view of you!"
"Son of a bitch!" Xiao Si, knowing full well that he didn't know his opponent's opponent, cursed angrily and returned to his original position, continuing to sparring with the soldier he called Sixth Brother.
Seeing this, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the general, and he continued to walk forward, saying loudly as he walked: "Keep in mind that we are the last barrier on the battlefield in Song Dynasty. Behind us are thousands of people.
My compatriots Wan, if we are defeated, the wives and daughters of the Wei people will become the female slaves that the Chu people willfully humiliate... We must win this battle! We will definitely win! The Chu people in the south cannot defeat our great Wei people.
Man!"
"Oh!" the nearby soldier Beiyi echoed loudly, continuing the high-intensity sparring.
Similar scenes occurred in many places on this training ground.
At this time, far away from the training ground, on a high platform, the general "Long Ji" who was responsible for training the Northern First Army was looking indifferently at the training of more than 60,000 Northern First Army soldiers in front of him.
Suddenly, a group of knights came slowly from a distance. Long Ji took a closer look and found that they were King Yu Zhao Yuande, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and others.
So he stepped down from the high platform and stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Huan."
"Hmm." Yu Wang Zhao Yuan'ai nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted with Long Ji's help, and asked: "Long Ji, how is the training place?"
"It's worth a use." Long Ji replied calmly.
After hearing this, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan glanced at Long Ji with some surprise.
Because along the way, Zhao Hongxuan personally felt that the momentum of the Northern First Army had undergone earth-shaking changes.
When Zhang Ao and Li Meng trained the Beiyi Army, although the soldiers of the Beiyi Army were not lazy, they always felt that they were a little behind. But today, the soldiers of the Beiyi Army that he saw today, even when they were sparring with their companions.
He also tried his best, and his ferocious momentum even frightened King Huan Zhao Hongxuan.
To use the most direct analogy, the former Beiyi Army was like a "house dog". Although it did its job, it always felt that it was not full of blood. After Long Ji's training, the house dog seemed to have transformed into a "wolf", which made Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but think of
He defeated the Shangshui Army and Yanling Army under his brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun.
"General Long Ji's training method is something Xiao Wang has never heard of." Zhao Hongxuan said with a wry smile.
To be honest, although Long Ji's training effect was remarkable, Zhao Hongxuan always felt a little hard to accept it because the training method was too rough.
Under Long Ji's training, countless soldiers of the Northern First Army had their bones broken or their teeth knocked out in these days. Almost all of the 60,000 soldiers were covered in bruises.
Perhaps he heard some contradiction in Zhao Hongxuan's words, Long Ji said sternly: "Your Highness, King Huan, it is better to be injured during the drill than to die on the battlefield... The earliest method of training our army in the Wei Dynasty was to let the soldiers
After they have practiced sparring and been beaten for a long time, they naturally learned how to fight back. The more times they were injured, the more they learned how to withstand the enemy's attacks. Therefore, the soldiers (infantry) of Wei Dynasty are invincible!"
At this time, Yu Wang Zhao Yuande also smiled and said to Zhao Hongxuan: "Hongxuan, don't worry, Long Ji is very good at training soldiers. The Yu Shui Army was trained by Shao Hu and Long Ji."
Yes, like Shao Hu, Long Ji was also the clan guard of King Yu Zhao Yuan Ke. Although he was unknown in the Wei nationality, King Yu Zhao Yuan Ke spoke highly of him and said that Long Ji was a general who was very good at stimulating the potential of his soldiers.
It is said that Long Ji can train a group of cowardly farmers into tiger and wolf warriors within a hundred days.
"Huh?" Zhao Hongxuan said in surprise: "I thought the Yu Shui Army was trained by Uncle Wu Wang."
"Hahaha." King Yu Zhao Yuan'e laughed loudly, and then he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing because his laughter touched old wounds.
"Your Majesty..." Long Ji's eyes showed some inexplicable sadness.
I think back then, how heroic Zhao Yuan'ai, the King of Yu, was. Everyone called him a talented commander. He was an all-rounder who could write a pen to govern the country and use military force to go to war. It was a pity that a small stray arrow was enough to destroy him.
King Yu, who was both civil and military, turned into a sick man who could be blown away by the wind.
Maybe this is because God is jealous of talented people.
Zhao Hongxuan did not notice Long Ji's expression. He was looking at the soldiers under his command in front of him who were training, and praised: "General Long Ji, the Northern First Army trained by you is stronger than the soldiers under my brother's command...
"
"His Royal Highness King Su?" Long Ji shook his head when he heard this and explained simply: "I don't know how His Highness King Su trains his soldiers, but as far as I know, the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army have never been defeated so far.
It seems that such an ever-victorious army can no longer be judged simply by its momentum..."
In fact, Long Ji also inquired about the training methods of King Su's army. In his opinion, it was very ordinary. It was nothing more than the routine used by Wei State to train soldiers. It was no better than the Wei Wu Army, Shanyang Army, Suppression of Rebellion Army, etc.
How powerful is the army?
But just such an army swept across the armies of Qin, Han, and Chu. What was the reason?
The reason is that a certain King Su was willing to invest a large amount of money in the weapons and equipment of his army, especially when equipped with repeated crossbows, catapults and other war weapons. This army was so strong that even other armies of the Wei State felt that
Incredible.
Just like the wandering horse heavy cavalry in the hands of the Shangshui battlefield commander Shen Yu, Long Ji was puzzled at first. Even if Shen Yu planned to send a cavalry of 5,000 people to support them on the Song battlefield, it would not make his prince so happy.
.
Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that the wandering horse heavy cavalry was built with a lot of money by His Highness King Su. Not only were the men wearing heavy armor, but even the war horses were also covered in armor. The armor was so thick that it could even shoot an ordinary crossbow.
Not to wear.
According to rumors, the cost of building 5,000 wandering horse heavy cavalry by Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was enough to arm an infantry of 100,000 people.
Of course, excluding the gap in weapons and equipment, the confidence of King Su's army is also an important factor. This army has been winning battles and firmly believes that under the leadership of a certain King Su, it can continue to win. This is King Su.
The most terrifying place in the army.
In comparison, the First Army of the North is still far behind. Although it has already taken the form of an elite army, it still lacks the accumulation of meritorious service and honors.
However, Long Ji believes that in the coming year, this army will become famous all over the world.
