Chapter 698 The new army in Hedong, called Jingnan
The dragon is mighty and the tiger is vibrating, and the momentum is magnificent. On one side is Xiao Tang, who is vigorous and brave as flying, and on the other side is Wang Huan, who is old and strong, calm and measured. It is difficult for these two martial arts masters to compete with each other.
The difficulty was solved, and everyone watching around couldn't help but cheer.
And when Xiao Tang and Wang Huan's fierce fight reached more than fifty points, he already noticed that the old Feng Liu opposite him, who had extravagant marksmanship, was breathing faster and faster, and the strength of his spear seemed to have weakened a lot.
Wang Huan can indeed be said to be old and strong, and his majesty is still the same as before. It is said that he can fight with Lin Chong, one of the most powerful generals in the original book, who represents the highest level of Liang Shanbo's military force. There is no winner or lose, and the officers and soldiers can't win.
He was defeated by the Liangshan Army one after another, and the remaining officers and generals were killed and captured...Wang Huan relied on his ability to remain unscathed amidst the successive defeats. If
Wang Huan was in his prime, and had been fighting with the enemy for many years while still in the side court... His strength must have impressed others even more.
However, according to Xiao Tang's thinking, brother Lin Chong's marksmanship was originally based on attacking later, and Wang Huan was a veteran in the army. In order to ensure that he could protect himself when the two armies clashed, he had developed countless marksmanship skills.
Practical and straightforward, and extremely calm and experienced. When two generals whose spear skills are absolutely among the best in the world fight, it is indeed difficult to determine the winner.
But Xiao Tang now has extraordinary strength, and has the ability to be good at luck and internal strength. Whether he is using the gold-chiselled tiger-headed dragon-tooth spear or the tempered cold-fronted Mo Dao used when walking in the green forest, he can use it with great force and strength, and he is invincible.
Compared with Lin Chong who first played it safe when fighting the enemy, and then suddenly exploded, his moves were more domineering and powerful. After all, Wang Huan was old, and when he fought with Xiao Tangzheng for a long time, he would inevitably lose strength due to lack of strength.
Then it fell into decline.
The fight reached seventy or eighty, and Xiao Tang gradually gained the upper hand in the horse fighting competition. Seeing that Wang Huan's spear skills gradually lost control, Xiao Tang did not want this highly respected man in the army to wait until he had some guidance.
The old general Zhien lost his face, and the power of the big gun in his hand also subconsciously slowed down a bit.
Wang Huan has been in war for a long time. He has rich experience in not only charging and fighting, but also in fighting and competing with others. He felt that the pressure exerted on him by Xiao Tang's big spear skills was relieved. How could he not know that the other party intended to give in?
Wang Huan, who was covered with sweat on his face, smiled slightly. He feinted with a shot, turned his horse and slipped out of the circle. He put the gun back and said with emotion: "It is said that after three days of separation, a scholar should look at each other with admiration. Today, my nephew is still the same.
He is praised as a heroic figure, but his ability is no longer what it used to be, and I can't compete... It seems that he is really better than his old master, and I can't help but be dissatisfied with my old age."
Xiao Tang also put away his big gun, bowed his hand to Wang Huan in salute and said: "I learned martial arts to be where I am today because of Uncle Shi's teachings. I dare not or forget the kindness of the rain and the spring breeze."
Wang Huan laughed loudly, and he and Xiao Tang immediately got off their horses, and ordered the military warriors next to them to put away their weapons and rein in their respective mounts. At this time, Xiao Tang was suddenly not far away, and Wang Wenbin was also staring at him, but
He was in a daze, thoughtful. When Wang Wenbin met Xiao Tang's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, with a very complicated expression on his face. After a while, Wang Wenbin respectfully saluted Xiao Tang with clasped fists, and looked at him.
Very respectful.
Although Wang Wenbin lacked experience in fighting against skilled warriors, and he used to be arrogant to the point of ignorance, Xiao Tang suffered a setback in front of many of his fellow military officers that day, and Wang Wenbin had to re-examine his abilities.
.
In the next few days, he saw Wang Jin practicing the skills of the new army, heard him describe the secrets of various ordnance techniques, and witnessed Hu Yanzhuo and Han Cunbao, Xiao Tang and Wang Huan and other highly skilled generals competing with each other.
The superb skills displayed at that time...Wang Wenbin finally had this thought in his heart: If it were me, how many moves could I make in the hands of these generals when competing with them?
Yelang was arrogant, but the Yelang Kingdom was at least the largest country in southwest China at that time, and had more than 100,000 troops. It was just that the leader of the Yelang Kingdom lacked sufficient understanding of the outside world, so he would say "Which one is bigger, Han or me?"
"This sentence has made the world laugh for thousands of years, ridiculing his arrogance and arrogance. Those who think they are right, just look at the surrounding area in front of them, it can be said that they are blind and do not know the state of the world. Xiao Tang just took off the film title that was covered in front of Wang Wenbin's eyes.
Ye Zi, who was arrogant and arrogant, finally enabled him to see the world clearly and no longer be affected by his own imagination and continue to be a confused frog in the well.
It can also be said that it is extremely embarrassing to think about it carefully. Remembering that in the past when he was in the capital and even when he was serving orders in Hedong, he thought that he could be regarded as one of the best in terms of martial arts and military skills. He was just waiting for an opportunity to make contributions. Now that Wang Wenbin was slapped on the head, he felt even more ashamed.
He blushed. Not to mention Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, and Han Cunbao, who were very famous and prestigious in the Song Dynasty military, but also generals like Peng Qi, Han Tao, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen.
, I’m afraid I may not be able to compare with it, right?
Xiao Tang had already saved Wang Wenbin's life, and after being warned, Wang Wenbin also vaguely realized the reason why Xiao Tang severely punished him in front of many colleagues in the army. That is why Wang Wenbin now feels resentful towards Xiao Tang.
It has faded a lot, but I am too embarrassed to talk to Xiao Tang any more, so I just keep doing my job in silence.
And Xiao Tang saw that Wang Wenbin seemed to have become much calmer these days, and he expected that his method must have worked. He also smiled and nodded to Wang Wenbin as an encouragement, saying in his heart, if you really realize the shortcomings in your temperament,
, I might as well give you a chance to show off your skills.
At this moment, Xiao Tang saw Shi Xiu again. Ye Qing and his two men led several close followers towards him. Among them, Ye Qing reported to Xiao Tang: "My lord, Wu Xueyu, Mr. Xiao, Guandu prisoner
While sorting out the roster of the new army, arranging the military camps around Tongtian County and other matters have been roughly arranged. In about half an hour, we can rush to the mansion to discuss military matters with Xie."
Xiao Tang nodded in agreement. He saw Shi Xiu standing at the back and glanced at Ye Qing in front of him. Then he nodded to himself, which seemed to be a sign of loyalty to this wealthy general manager who had recently joined Xiao Tang.
Bo is polite in dealing with people and things, and judging by his personality, he seems to be a man who values affection and justice.
In the original work, Ye Qing, the general manager who was able to endure dormancy, save the orphan of his old master, and conspired to unite the Liangshan army to kill Tian Hu and avenge his former master, was naturally a thoughtful, loyal and brave man, so he joined the gang.
By defecting, he can naturally help Shi Xiu, who is also the general manager of Xiaotang Mansion. He just needs to find the most suitable opportunity to tell Ye Qing what he is planning to do on both sides of the officialdom. According to Ye Qing
Regarding Qiu Shen's loyal character, since he sincerely surrendered to his service, Xiao Tangxin said that he could trust him with confidence.
When Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others were about to wash up and tidy up, and then discuss the next plan to defeat Tian Hu, Wang Huan walked to Xiao Tang and said: "Now we are selected from the refugees in Hedong. There are about 4,500 brave men, who can be organized into nine battalions of new troops. Now that banditry is rampant in the Hedong area, and there are frequent floods and droughts, there will inevitably be more and more recruits to accommodate. My nephew has been entrusted with important tasks by the officials. , you have the power to select and train the new army and reorganize its troops, which is naturally your hard work. When the new army is built, you can also advise the court on the name of the new army. I wonder if my nephew already has it in mind. idea?"
Xiao Tang paused after hearing this, thinking about things like the Shence Army of the Tang Dynasty that guarded the capital, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army and the elite Beiwei Army among them, Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army, Pengri, Tianwu, and Long who were known as the elite of the Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army. Military designations such as Wei and Shenwei also represent the expectations that the generals who initially established those powerful brigades had for this army. If Xiao Tang followed his original intention of establishing a new army in Hedong, a strategic area for military strategists in the north of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tang would also I have indeed thought about what title would be most suitable for this initial army.
After listening to Wang Huan's question, Xiao Tang smiled calmly and said leisurely: "If the imperial court can really let the younger generation decide on a name for this new army in Hedong... I think the name of this army is Jingnan Army." , which is the most suitable.”
