Chapter 135: Defeat of the Soldiers
Zhou XIII never thought that he could live like this.
Once upon a time, he lived as lowly as a maggot, never had enough to eat, and anyone could trample on his dignity.
And now, he realized that ‘people’ were like that.
Life in camp was simple.
It’s even incredibly simple.
It’s always drill, drill, drill.
Occasionally, the instruction would teach some words to be recognized during breaks.
For this one square-like word, Zhou XIII would always have a kind of awe, as if it was the most sacred thing under the sky.
As for the drills, they don’t seem to be hard at all.
Because compared to the former starving and freezing, compared to the past by people white eyes and people bully, here …… he and the battalion officer, with the side of the same people as him, but feel a kind of unprecedented ease.
So no matter the drill, whether it was bitter cold or the scorching sun on his head, even if he was sweating, he never complained of suffering.
Sometimes even require a stop is most of the day, never allowed to move a trace of half a point, even if a hornet flew, in the body stung a bite, the body slightly move, but also let Zhou thirteen feel ashamed.
There are countless rules here, but soon, they are taken for granted.
Of course, the biggest effect of the drills was that he was eating more.
He even felt that there was no more place in the world that could feed him after leaving this camp.
The meal is large and appetizing, with one pound and three taels of rice a day, three taels of meat, and other fruits and vegetables, and even a special daily supply of hard-boiled eggs.
And these, soon enough, are transformed into energy in the body through drills.
He felt more chipper and felt like he had boundless energy all over him.
Naturally …… the one thing that always needs to be kept in mind here is the military order.
Military orders must be carried out without hesitation.
The consequences of violating military orders are not, after all, whipping and humiliation.
Just straight up fired and thrown out of camp.
Zhou XIII was like everyone else, they weren’t even afraid of whipping and humiliation, after all, in this lifetime, they had suffered countless blank stares and grievances.
The only thing they feared was being driven out of the camp.
One fellow countryman was expelled outright for disobeying a military order.
He saw the man howling with his own eyes, tearing his heart and lungs, saw him in tears, Zhou XIII will always remember this scene, because it means that the taste of being a man, the kind of life that can be dignified, that can hold his head up, that can make his relatives proud, that can even make himself belong, that can be well-fed, well-clothed, and warm, has been insulated from that man since then.
Those who walk out of this camp are nothing, while those who stay here …… are like one.
As his father sent a message, “Son, follow Uncle Cheng En well, people treat us like this, not to hand over our lives to others, is to be condemned by heaven.”
For the sake of his old father, for the sake of his own sister, and even for his own sake, Zhou XIII had never entertained any thoughts.
He wanted to die here if possible.
At this moment, Zhou XIII was wearing twenty-seven pounds of lock armor.
This armor is not something that an ordinary person could hold up.
From the heart protector to the shoulder protector, to the iron helmet, to the knee protector, the layers and layers of iron pieces protected Zhou XIII to his eyes.
At first when wearing this one, week thirteen only feel back pain, but …… these days, daily armor in the body, from the body muscle pain, actually also gradually accustomed to.
After all, …… he eats a lot, his physical strength keeps up, and the qi in his body gradually grows, and now, he even becomes one with this lock armor, and sometimes when he takes off the lock armor, Zhou XIII feels that he is as light as a swallow, as if the person is going to float to the sky.
Gripped in his hands were iron spikes that were more than half a foot long.
Not only that, but there was a saber at his waist, a dagger, and a water pouch for quenching his thirst.
This was his whole body’s worth, close to forty pounds, and at that moment he, like the robes around him, set up his iron spikes diagonally at the same time.
At this moment, only Zhang Yoking could be heard shouting, “People in formation!”
The orders of the Model Battalion are always concise and effective.
Won’t nag you half as much.
This command means that you must become one with the ground beneath your feet and never move a step except to fall.
In the distance …… was the roar of war horses.
It would be a lie to say that there was no fear, at least the roar of the horse’s hooves taught Zhou XIII’s heartbeat to speed up as well.
He was even so nervous that the palms of his hands, holding the iron spikes, pinched out sweat.
But at the same time, there was an inexplicable exuberance that made him, almost reflexively, respond in unison with his fellow soldiers around him, “Here!”
Under the sunlight, layers of iron armor like fish scales layered on top of each other, forming a circle, densely packed with people shoulder to shoulder together, the fish scale armor on their bodies, refracting a halo of light.
It’s like a brick wall.
The only thing that could let this bronze wall see a hint of a living person’s breath was the eyes that were exposed under the full-body fish scale lock armor wrapping.
There was excitement, fear, and hesitation in these eyes.
But …… no one took a step back.
Ta-da-da-da-da ……
Ta-da-da-da-da ……
The cavalry launched a charge.
Thousand-horseman Chen Qian led the way.
It was only after arriving close that his gaze suddenly sank.
Fiercely, he perceived that these people …… in front of him were not simple.
Uncomplicated to what extent, the other party actually cloaked in full body armor.
And it’s all lock armor.
It’s almost impossible.
This is because such armor is generally used for cavalry, and it is used only by the best of the best.
The reason was simple: the vast majority of the soldiers could not hold up such heavy armor.
That’s tens of pounds of iron.
How good can the body of an ordinary soldier be? I’m afraid that once the armor is put on, the person will have to collapse.
And that elite in the elite, can hold up the armor is also few and far between, because …… such a person, you have to let him daily to beat up the body, and to beat up the body, you have to do all the time to eat meat, this is not to say that the ordinary guards, even if it is the forbidden army, but also absolutely inconceivable.
And right now, with so many people, how do you hold up these armors.
Not only that, he could clearly feel that even though the other party was so heavily loaded, they were all full of energy, and their spears, which were set up, did not move at all.
This forest of spears, laid out in front of them, in the sunlight, refracted a sharp light that sent chills down the spine of the heart.
Of course …… doesn’t stop there.
Facing the cavalry onslaught.
The hardest thing for an infantryman to overcome is often the fear in his heart.
This fear would be amplified with the cavalry’s sprint, so Chen Qian, who was well versed in the ways of the cavalry, had a wealth of experience in storming infantry formations.
He can always be like a cat playing with a mouse, waiting for the other side to be afraid, the other side of the gap in the infantry formation, and then do not hesitate to charge and kill up, in this infantry formation directly tore a mouth, and then …… it is the madness of the cavalry on the infantry to kill.
But the immediate let Chen Qian more surprised is, the other side of the array, there is no weak link and gap, almost everyone is dead in their posts, even if the whistling cavalry is about to arrive in front of the eyes, clearly Chen Qian can see the other side of the eyes of the fear.
But …… the other side did not move.
It was like a turtle shell, resting like a rock.
Zhang Yoking shouted at this time, “Shield.”
Zhang Yoking’s blood was already boiling at this moment.
Inside his body, as if the bloodline is awakened, at this moment …… he feels that his late father seems to be watching him in the sky.
He was excitedly in the middle of the formation, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and at that moment, Zhang Yoking looked like a sword that was about to come out of its sheath.
In the foremost row, an iron shield hooted and hollered out.
This iron shield is half a man high, and the man holding it is half crouching.
The rest angled their bodies and held out their spears.
Still neat and tidy, all in step.
They had tried this over and over again and had long been familiar with it.
The thick iron shield, as well as the spears set up in the cracks of the iron shield were right in front of his eyes, and Chen Qian only felt his scalp go numb.
He realized that he might have been careless.
“King Han, when I entered you, didn’t I say it was just a bunch of milquetoast boys with a bunch of new pawns?”
He roared inwardly.
But at this time …… there is no turning back arrow, but had to be on the horse, carrying a sword, trying to calmly shout, “Kill over!”
Bang ……
The first cavalryman to rush to the front of the formation crashed into it without hesitation.
But soon, the warhorse was directly pierced by the sharp spear.
The person then flew directly into the large shield, he was lucky enough to avoid the iron spear but unfortunate enough to hit the iron shield as if he had hit a wall, only to feel his ribs break and the person had rolled away.
Knock Knock ……
Cavalry after cavalry, flying horses crashed.
Countless warhorses whistled.
Someone was directly pierced by the iron thatch and blood spilled like rain.
Some of the warhorses were lucky enough to hit the iron shield, but their impact still couldn’t knock the bronze wall away.
People fall over.
Iron horsemen on all sides, one after another.
They wielded their swords …… but suddenly nourished sadness.
Chen Qian’s eyes were red, he was anxious.
At this moment, however, he still pressed his long sword and shouted under his breath, “Break the formation, break the formation!”
This kind of step formation, as long as there is a gap in the punch out ……
He gave birth to this thought.
Things have come to a head, there is no way back, the only option is to step over the horse.
And this Tian Ze Wei primus was by no means a waste of time, still wielding their swords, one after the other, they fought their way through.
Even though some people were stabbed with holes in their spears, and some people were simply dropped and had all their bones broken.
Still still front and center.
The tussle shook the sky.
The center of the original formation.
Some people are chipper.
He observed the situation on all sides.
If others have excitement, fear, and fervor.
He, on the other hand, had a surprising amount of composure.
It seemed …… that he had observed something, and afterward, he called out, “Thunder!”
Dozens of people who were in the center of the circular formation took out their grenades one by one at this time.
These men were not wearing fishscale lock armor, and they were the only ones in the battalion who were allowed to go without heavy armor.
They were all handpicked by Qusong, and the only advantage they had was their incredible arm strength.
At this point, they familiarly pinch thunder.
Remove the fire folders and ignite the fuse in one fell swoop.
Obviously, they know every step, like the back of their hand, and there will never be any surprises.
People who have accidents …… usually end up badly.
Immediately after that, a single mine, thrown straight out.
From the turtle formation, the sky seemed to appear, all at once, as a dark orb.
These orbs are in the air, tracing a perfect arc, and then …… fall to the ground.
Just as the primus of the Tianzhengwei were still desperately pounding away.
The orb landed on their perimeter.
After a moment.
Rumble …… Rumble …… Rumble ……
A dozen grenades exploded one by one from their side.
Inside this grenade, not only gunpowder, and because of the small amount of charge, than the previous gunpowder packet power is much smaller.
Just …… the cruelest thing here is that the grenade still has a lot of iron pieces and iron beads in it.
And so …… as the gunpowder exploded, the iron pieces and iron beads scattered in all directions.
Uh …… ah ……
The war horse is frightened.
The offense was stymied.
The man on the horse was abruptly beaten into a sieve and fell straight to the ground.
The iron beads and pieces of iron that flew recklessly in the air instantly caused the people around them to fall down.
The camp.
Hoofbeats were heard, warhorses neighing, killing and explosions.
Fang Bin, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was alarmed.
He got restless.
It seemed that the next moment, someone would kill into the camp, and it was impossible to say, someone would indiscriminately chop him up.
Though he conjectured that perhaps His Highness the Han King would not be this crazy and should still be sane.
But soon, he seemed to realize that …… since the Han king could let the people launch an attack on the model battalion without any hesitation, he …… was nothing.
“Crazy, crazy ……” Fang Bin couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, but his heart was getting more and more uneasy.
Squinted at Zhang Anshi, this guy is not a good bird, the old man was used by him, finished, finished ……
Deep inside, an indescribable sadness rose.
The Right Minister of the Ministry of War, with a bright future ahead of him, is not expected to be buried here?
On the side, Yao Guangxiao continued to recite the sutra, he was calm.
Of course, this composure didn’t come from the fact that he wasn’t really afraid of death.
And it lies …… in the fact that since you have received people s incense oil money, you have to have the consciousness of death.
Anyway, at this age, you shouldn’t have many years of life left.
Hey …… people, always think outside the box.
Zhang Anshi sat steadily on the end, but his heart was a little nervous.
Today’s scene was indeed planned by him, he had to go and settle the Tianzewei, or at least hit them hard and hurt them once before the Model Battalion departed for Annan.
If not, once the Model Battalion left, and the three murderers in the capital went to Annan, Zhang Anshi felt that he was in danger in the capital.
Although the jianghu is a humane world, but if you even have no ability to fight and kill, then still talk about a bird humane world, you deserve?
For this Tianze Wei, Zhang Anshi had a few certainties, because he knew that after many soldiers and horses became forbidden guards, they began to slowly decay, and the speed of this decay and metamorphosis was astonishing.
Of course not only that, Zhang Anshi’s confidence comes from his own confidence in the silver, he is really smashed the money, is real money, and these silver, is no deduction of the kind.
This crazy spreading of money, not only the soldiers, but also their families, he also raised together.
The grenade finally blew up ……
Zhang Anshi listened to a roar and pinched his sweat, wondering if this guy Qusong’s bomb throwers could pull off a miracle.
Zhang Anshi silently wiped a bit of cold sweat from his forehead.
Good, to believe in Chuson ……
…………
Rumble ……
Bombardiers, frantically dropping bombs.
There were earth-shattering booms everywhere.
The blood mist congealed around the circumference of the circular formation and could not be dispersed.
This grenade throwing distance, but only a few feet, according to reason, for the person who throws, may not be safe.
But …… has an iron shield.
One by one, the iron shields formed a bronze wall.
Not only did it separate the primus from the onslaught, but it also separated the blasted pieces of iron.
Even if some occasional pieces of iron flew through the gaps and into the circular formation, this one guy with an iron anchor was armed almost to the teeth, and the iron pieces snapped against the lock armor, only making a clanking sound.
The prima donnas, on the other hand, seemed to be, all at once, in hell on earth.
The front formation could not be broken through, and many were painfully pierced by the iron spears, letting out an unceasing wail and cry of grief.
The rear team exploded unceasingly …… The war horses were frightened, and one individual fell down covered with blood.
So …… only less than an incense burner after the engagement.
The offense was reduced.
The primus were chilled to the bone, and they peered around them in horror, fearing that the dark thing would appear all around them at any moment.
The frightened warhorses crashed into each other, and one by one the men on their horses were lifted off the ground.
Those who fell off their horses had their tendons and bones broken, and were even trampled over by the warhorses of the rear group, letting out pig-killing screams.
But the bronze wall remained motionless.
Everyone behind the iron shield made no sound.
They went from fear, to hesitation, to now, confidence.
Each man’s duty was simple; the man with the shield curled his body up, dead against it.
The person who set up the iron spear held it in a death grip, not even needing a stabbing motion.
The only thing that’s technical is probably the bombardier.
Fortunately, they have long been familiar with this, under Qiu Song’s cruel drills.
Zhu Yong was like a great general in the formation at this moment, calmly observing the surroundings. He did not give orders easily, but responded calmly according to the situation.
Even his father, a bird, can make an unparalleled achievement on the battlefield. I’m better than my father, that’s reasonable, right?
Zhou XIII killed someone for the first time.
Because his iron spear, directly pierced through a horseman on the horse.
He only felt the iron spear sink yet he still had all his muscles tensed up, dead against the iron spear, and beside him, not a single person stepped back.
At this time …… he gave birth to a new and strange feeling.
It was as if …… he had become one with the place.
So, like a rock, he continued to set up his spear here, motionless.
Teachers once said …… that a great man should make unearthly achievements.
He had been ignorant and did not know what was meant by unworldly kung fu, but now he understood that the so-called unworldly kung fu was to be here, not to retreat, and to strike down one’s enemies.
There were also some fallen primus, who seemed to have killed their eyes, and they were outside the shield, stepping on the bones of their companions, carrying their swords, and madly trying to go over the big shield and kill their way into the formation.
Just …… he steeply realized that what greeted him, and the iron spears of the rear ranks among the infantry formation.
This is a kind of indescribable despair, when you have gone through nine deaths, originally thought that you succeeded in entering the formation, to become the lucky one, what you get is not a surprise, but a deeper suffering.
And at this point ……… there has been a rout.
Especially since some people got chills after the grenades went off.
Qianhu Chen Qian first shouted angrily, “Death to those who flee!”
But later, he suddenly realized …… that this is not helpful at all.
Looking at the rock solid round shield he had an indescribable feeling of powerlessness, and his face was miserable …… to see that the attack in front of him was getting weaker and weaker and weaker.
The offense and defense reversed.
For by this time, having foreseen the exhaustion of the primus, the impact of the war-horse was almost nil, and a great number of the men began to choose to flee in rout.
At this time, Zhu Yong shouted, “Kill!”
This decisive word immediately added murderous intent to the air filled with smoke and blood.
So …… the circular formation turned instantly.
The great shields have tumbled to the ground.
Bombardiers collect mines.
Behind the big shield, like a forest of iron spears just in this instant, these heavily armed, armed to the teeth people let out a shout in unison, “Kill!”
It’s like a lotus flower blooming.
All of them killed in unison.
No one expected that at this time, the other party would actually come straight into a counter charge.
The people …… who originally also rushed to kill were directly caught off guard.
Before he could react, Zhou XIII, who came with his spear, had already pierced him.
The rout is more pronounced.
This psychological shock had reached the limits of the primus.
So …… the soldiers were defeated.
Someone turned and fled.
Those who were lucky enough to still be on their horses quickly disengaged from the battlefield.
Those who dismounted, on the other hand, had no such luck.
The iron spears that were like a forest rapidly approached and began to frantically harvest lives.
“Chito, run away.”
Someone arrived at Chen Qian’s side.
Chen Qian rode his horse, spinning around in place as the warhorse uneasily plowed the ground and hissed.
Chen Qian looked at everything in front of him incredulously, and he had an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.
It’s over. That’s it?
This is the primus elite.
It was the Duo Yan elite cavalry that had …… crisscrossed the Jingnan battlefield in the beginning.
Look around at all the wailing and corpses.
See those who previously also confident Hanzi, now …… or for the corpse, or on the ground sad, and even some as if the loss of the dog.
“Chito ……”
“Escape?” Chen Qian smiled bitterly, “Where can I escape to? Who can spare me?”
If he wins, even if his superiors blame him, perhaps King Han can still protect him.
But now what?
I’m only afraid that the first person who would want to kill him would be the King of Han.
And he …… actually buried the Tianzhengwei primus alive.
The burial was so complete.
“Chito, don’t go any further ……”
Looking at that has become a word long snake general sprinting to the iron armor in the sunlight, as if the iron wave general glittering kill to.
Chen Qian raised his sword and became furious: “Kill!”
The knife has not been cut.
The man under the horse, however, had thrust out his iron spear.
Straight into Chen Qian’s thigh.
Chen Qian let out a loud cry, dragging his bloody leg down from the horse.
But what followed was another iron armor holding an iron spear and stabbing it.
This time the stab was straight to the throat.
Chen Qian almost saw the iron spear’s sharpness like a poisonous tongue out of a cage and arrived, swiftly …… powerful ……
It’s not a wrongful death.
Such a horrible thought came to him.
The other party wearing such heavy armor, fierce battle for an incense burner, but also can batch armor charge, the hands of the iron spear and such power, their own face such an opponent, what else can be said.
Bared ……
The tip of that iron spear went straight down his throat.
Chen Qian’s eyes rolled over, and when that iron spear was withdrawn, blood sprayed out of his throat like a gushing spring.
His face contorted as he desperately whimpered his throat, his hands red with his own blood while his body began to convulse.
After this pain into the bone marrow suffocation, his legs stomped, at this time there is only one thought: “God damned Han Wang ……”
…………
Zhang Anshi came out of the tent at this time, shouting in his mouth, “Mo go away the thieves, the right minister of the Ministry of War has an order, the Tianze guards are harming the people, the Ministry of War has already tolerated it, all of them give me to kill …….”
Upon hearing Zhang Anshi being this arrogant outside the tent, Fang Bin, inside the tent, violently had a feeling of relief.
He was first foxed …… Impossible.
How is that possible?
But listen to Zhang Anshi shouting for joy.
Although he did not know Zhang Anshi’s behavior, he knew that what he could not imagine could happen.
That Zhang Anshi guy, if he hadn’t fended off the Tian Ce guards, would never have jumped like that.
His eyes were busy looking at Yao Guangxiao again.
Yao Guangxiao doesn’t chant anymore.
The eyes also seemed to carry foxiness, as if they felt …… that something was wrong.
Zhang Anshi shouted outside: “model battalion to protect the territory and people, guard the capital, will never allow this kind of small people harm the people, give me pursuit, into his mother, dare to mess with me Zhang Anshi, you ate leopard gall, the capital of the three ferocious have not heard of it, deserved your bad luck. Everyone quickly come out, quickly come out, everyone be a witness, it is they first move, I have the right minister of the Ministry of War’s transfer order!”
Fangbin: “……”
Yao Guangxiao got up, “Ai, the living souls are coated with charcoal, the living souls are coated with charcoal ah, the poor monk can not see these …… can not see these ……”
Fang Bin Fang was still scolding Zhang Anshi, at this time listening to Yao Guangxiao said so, immediately could not help but look at Yao Guangxiao with a kind of eyes like looking at a retard, and scolded in his heart: “Monk, you can’t see the killing, who persuaded people to rebel in the first place?”
But …… this is not the time to scold this.
For Fang Bin, the most urgent task at hand is what to do afterward.
He made a note, according to the reason, he is not in the Ministry of War, did not have to get the decree of the Wen Yuange, is not free to mobilize troops and horses.
Although he had the authority, he broke the rules after all.
Now that so many people are dead here, how is he going to explain it?
His gaze, quickly landed on Yao Guangxiao’s body again.
So, he was busy piling smiles, went forward to help Yao Guangxiao, said, “Yao Gong …… this model camp ……”
“This model battalion …… is really surprising.” Yao Guangxiao was already considered very calm, at least better than Fang Bin’s performance.
But there was still an indescribable shock in his eyes.
“What about His Majesty?”
Yao Guangxiao said, “Just don’t deceive the king.”
Fang Bin seemed to understand something: “Oops, I’m so confused, yes, yes ……”
Yao Guangxiao added: “The king of Han is really stupid, hey …… he is too eager, such a person, can not become a great thing.”
These meaningful words seemed to be captured by Fang Bin at once, so he busily nodded his head and said, “Yes, yes …… the King of Han is a fool …… No, it can’t be completely blamed on the King of Han, it’s this damned Tianzhe Guards …… blinded King Han ……”
Yao Guangxiao smiled, “Go out and take a look, hey …… poor monks should go to superintend the dead souls.”
He was full of compassionate looks, after all, the people who died at this time could have been his former perfumers, and it was too sad to die one less than the other.
At that moment, Fang Bin assisted Yao Guangxiao out of the tent.
And at this time …… they were again stunned by the scene …… in front of them.
It was …… unheard of for foot soldiers to run after cavalry.
Zhang Anshi was surrounded by several foot soldiers with big shields. Zhang Anshi shouted, “Come and kill, come and kill, aren’t you very brave? If you have the ability to come at me, Zhang Anshi, into his mother, I have one finger, teach you to fly into smoke.”
