Chapter 60 Ideas
The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the power gap is obvious, but Zhang Dinghe did not wince. He has rich experience in his horns and feels that he has some chances.
By relying solely on strength, you may not necessarily win in the corner, push, pull, trip, hold, and fall. These techniques are all done twice the result with half the effort. Zhang Dinghe's idea is that he may be able to "put himself in death and live."
The gong sounded, and before Zhang Dinghe could come up with a countermeasure, Zhang Xutuo rushed up. His momentum was like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep. Zhang Dinghe fought hard, but he found in despair that his arm strength could not be resisted at all.
Just like a petite little lady, she was knocked down by a big man with red eyes and pressed to the ground to do whatever she wants, but she had no power to fight back.
Before he could figure out what happened, Zhang Dinghe lost. The gap between his strength and the other party was too big and he had no chance to win.
"The general Zhang Xutuosheng!"
"Take it."
"Come on." Zhang Dinghe replied with a greeting. Seeing the other party's vaguely "half-fat and thin" body shape, he couldn't help but be curious: "How did Governor Zhang develop this figure?"
"In the Hulin Army, it's impossible not to develop muscles."
Zhang Dinghe was curious when he heard this: "Hulin Army? Isn't Governor Zhang in the military palace?"
"I was originally in the Hulin Army. Last year, I was named the commander-in-chief and transferred to the military office."
Zhang Xutuo said this and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Practice carefully, and you will get used to it after a month."
"Thank you for your advice."
Zhang Dinghe lost, and no new recruits dared to go to the stage to reach the corner. The process of these two corners made them feel frightened, so they became bystanders next.
The game continued, and watching the muscular animals on the stage, the recruits felt powerless. The figures of those people were too burly and skillful, so they had no chance of winning at all.
The reason why horns are popular in the army is that this kind of fighting technique is very useful on the battlefield. When fighting in a big melee, both the enemy and us use hands and feet to find ways to take the other party's lives.
Take down the enemy in as short as possible, then make up for a knife, and then go to the next one. The longer the time is spent, the greater the physical energy is spent. The corners on the ring in front of you are all determined in a short time.
No matter which team it is, the participants are strong, have many skills and are flexible. It is conceivable how strong their hand-to-hand combat abilities will be on the battlefield.
When the horns reached, people were bare-armed and had legs. When they were fighting, they were covered in iron armor. By then, these people were no longer livestock, but fierce beasts that were fearless. It would make people feel sad to think about it.
"Since no one wants to get out of the corner, hurry up and have a lot of competitions today, so don't miss it."
Under the leadership of the team, the recruits lined up to another competition venue, which was a common event in the army, that is, swords, cards, and spears.
The two competed one-on-one, one held a spear and the other held a knife card. The spearman tried to stab the opponent in a vital way, and the knife player needed to cut people close to each other. Of course, this was just a simulation. The spear did not have a sharp spear, and the knife player's knife did not have a blade.
Don't think that the only way to attack a spear is to stab/sting, and it can also sweep and smash. There are many tricks for the sword player.
When a large army fights, the most spears are among the weapons of the infantry formation, followed by sword cards. In addition to stabbing the spear, the sword cards are very important ways to break the spear.
Soldiers with the courage and ability to use swords and cards to attack the spear formation are elite in any army, and this way of competition exercises personal courage.
If you really are on the battlefield, the spear will inevitably form a formation, and the sword players will also collectively rush to the formation. When fighting on one-on-one, without the help of your companions, you can only rely on your own martial arts.
Only when the spears form formations have advantages. If you are not careful when fighting alone, you will be approached by the sword player. Therefore, in this competition mode, the spear player is slightly at a disadvantage, which is a test of his basic skills.
In the game in front of us, the sword player and the spear player won and lost the opponent, and they were evenly matched. I don’t know if the sword player was too cowardly or the spear player was too powerful. Thinking of this, a few of the new recruits were eager to try it out.
However, the Mai Tie Staff, who was on the court, was swept down by a spear in two or three strokes. Seeing this result, many people's idea of going on the court to try it out was gone.
The spear, which is 18 meters long, is thin in front and thick in the back, and is not light in weight. The soldier who dances the spear as fast as a whip, has no less arm strength than the animals that have reached the previous corner.
The wheat iron stick with good strength and skills is like a skinny dog and is swept over by someone. How good will the others be?
By the way, how did these animals develop muscles?
With such questions, the recruits moved to the next competition venue, which was an unheard of competition event: climbing high.
A high platform with a height of more than five meters is vertical on three sides and a slope with steps on the other side. There are bumpy gaps on the vertical wall, like a city wall that has experienced vicissitudes and cliffs.
The so-called climbing means climbing onto a high platform with bare hands, and then climbing down the platform along the wall to return to the source. Apart from using hands and feet, there is no tool to use.
In order to ensure safety, the climber tied a long rope called "safety rope" on his body. The long rope was wrapped around the wheel through the roller at the top of the platform and wrapped around the wheel.
As the climber gradually climbs higher, the auxiliary personnel on the ground turn the wheel and shorten the safety rope tied to the body, but it will be loose, so that the other party will not let the other party take advantage of the force. Once the climber falls off, he will be hung in the air by the safety rope to avoid the tragic life of falling to the ground and dying.
Looking at the thrilling game, the recruits did not have the courage to fight. Mai Tiebang, who was originally "familiar" with climbing the city wall, was about to raise his hand but retreated.
Because he saw the participating soldiers running up like monkeys, which was done while wearing armor.
He also held a knife in his mouth, which was clearly like climbing a city wall with bare hands or sneak attacks over mountains. The participating soldiers were affiliated with the Hulin Army, the Mansion Army and the State Army. Such skillful climbing movements mean that they practiced frequently on weekdays.
"Does anyone want to give it a try and challenge it?"
When the recruits heard this, they shook their heads like rattles. Even if they were lightly equipped, they might not be able to climb to the top, let alone put on armor to climb. The idea of trying to make a breath disappeared without a trace again.
Huswanshan looked at the platform, clenched his fists, but still did not raise his hand. He knew that this kind of difficult climb could not be accomplished by his own physical fitness.
He had been with the army, of course, at that time he was still the Sui army. In terms of skills, he was the best among his army. When the Zhou and Sui clashed, no matter where they finally won, they would need soldiers like him.
Who is the military? This is normal, but in the Hulao Pass battle more than a year ago, Huswanshan shot and killed a Zhou general, and the situation was different.
When the two armies were fighting, most of the soldiers on both sides did not recognize each other. Since they were enemies, they would have their own lives. Life and death were based on the heavens. There was no problem of "intentional murder".
Huswanshan didn't recognize who Zhou Jiang was at all. As a archer, of course, he focused on shooting and killing enemy generals.
However, the other party's relatives refused to let go. Later, the Zhou army entered Luoyang, and his brothers wanted to take revenge and looked for the archer who shot his relatives in the chaos army. He had no choice but to escape.
With his skills, it was not impossible to switch to the Zhou army elsewhere, but Hu Siwanshan did not dare to make a decision easily, because he was afraid that his enemies would come to ask for someone when they found out.
If you live a life in hiding your name from now on, it is also a good choice, but Huswanshan doesn't want to spend the rest of his life silently, so he has to find a way.
If you become a tribe of a powerful or aristocratic family, after being appreciated by the leader or the commander, if the enemy comes to ask for someone, at least you can have a big tree to shelter from the wind and rain.
Of course there are such powerful people, but Huswanshan didn't know who would protect him. He hid in the world for more than half a year and accidentally heard something: Zheng Yi, the treacherous minister who harmed the Zhou State, dared to help.
The man was called the one-legged bronze man. Of course, after investigation, he found out that he was the general manager of Huangzhou, Shannan, and Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang. The Hulin Army is said to be very capable of fighting, and this year he started recruiting troops again.
After thinking about it, Hu Siwanshan became active. He felt that even the treacherous ministers like Zheng Yi could eat and drink freely from Yuwen Wen. If he had real skills, how could he be so bad?
Yuwen Wen can date Zheng Yi, who is indifferent to the smelly Zheng Yi, and he doesn't think too much about other people's faces when he acts. So as long as he can get his appreciation, if his enemies come to him in the future, how many people can help "preserve justice"?
This is why Hu Siwanshan came to join the Hulin Army. He always wanted to show his abilities. Now he happened to encounter a large competition for the entire army. If he could stand out, it would definitely attract the attention of the King of Xiyang.
As long as he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, he is confident that he can make contributions. As a recruit, he may not have the chance to go to the battlefield in the near future, so he needs to prove his "practical combat ability" so that he can make contributions to the battlefield as soon as possible.
Seeing that there was no room for one martial arts competition, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
