Chapter 15 1

The people in Yunzhou City are talking with great interest about the fact that the guards will compete in martial arts in the near future, but they don't know that the competition in the army has actually begun at this time. After the Spring Festival, it is the most elite people in Yunzhouwei to participate in the test, but before that, it is necessary to select enough qualified people from thousands of soldiers and horses to participate in this test. Today is the day of selection of 500 soldiers in each station.

The snow is still falling, but the school field of the eighth school is still full of people. Hundreds of soldiers gathered here, regardless of the falling snowflakes above their heads, walking excitedly and neatly, because there will be a good play today.

In fact, the martial arts competition in the past years was just a routine business for these camps. In fact, everyone knows that among the 500 people, the first team is the strongest as a garrison, and it is impossible for everyone to compete with their short ambitions. Sometimes, they don't even have to fight, and they directly let this team play on behalf of the camp.

But this year's situation has changed. The sudden rise of a person and a team has subverted the original default rules and makes it necessary to truly show their skills on the campus. This person is Xu Jinghong, who has just entered the barracks. Naturally, this team is the fifth team he leads.

The soldiers are very interested in this battle. I don't know if Xu Jinghong, who has recently became famous in the army, is really so powerful, and what can Luo Dong, as a guard, do when he encounters such provocation?

After learning that Xu Jinghong was determined to be his enemy, Luo Dong had already made all kinds of preparations. He will let people taise on armor and weapons. As long as the two teams start a battle and there is a problem with the armor, Xu Jinghong and his team will immediately mess up and be defeated. Then, he can scold Xu Jinghong for his incompetence in training and directly kick him out of the camp.

But he calculated a lot, but still missed one point, that is, Xu Jinghong's backer Liu Mo actually helped him in this matter. Liu Mo himself didn't say anything, but he sent a long history to the eighth school, saying that he was watching martial arts. In fact, isn't he here to support Xu Jinghong? You should know that there are ten people in this camp, but they only sent people to their eighth camp. This is not for Xu Jinghong, who else will they come for? In this way, all the secret things that Luo Dong had done before can't be used at all.

What made Luo Dong more nervous was the military exercise carried out by each team before the competition. A team passed in front of their high platform. The momentum shown by the fifth team led by Xu Jinghong was really amazing. Even the first team that his subordinates were proud of, compared with them, this spirit was also much worse. When looking at the soldiers of the first team, Luo Dong noticed the timidity hidden in their hearts.

How can we fight against the fifth team before we fight? If he loses, he will not only give up a good opportunity, but also be blamed by the building. Luo Dong doesn't want to do so. At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on a strong young man beside him. He was Luo Dong's nephew. He heard that he had studied abroad and then joined the army and wanted to make a reputation. Just because Luo Dong had limited power and coincided with Ye Hao's incident, it was difficult to arrange any position for him, so he stayed by his side as a personal guard first.

"Xiao Kui, is it true that you learned martial arts outside?" After glancing at the long history Zhouling not far away, Luo Dong suppressed his voice and asked his nephew beside him.

Young Yue Jinkui hurriedly replied, "Auncle, haven't you seen our skills? I learned from a generation of strange people Tianshanzi. As long as I have a sword in hand, more than ten people can't hurt me at all. His answer was somewhat arrogant.

Seeing that his nephew was so confident, Luo Dong felt more confident: "Then if you fight alone, do you think there can be someone in this army as your opponent?"

"This is impossible. The martial arts of soldiers are good at melee. If they fight alone, none of them can be my opponent!" Yue Jinkui replied almost without thinking that his opportunity should have come. He has been in the barracks for several months, but his uncle has never really promoted himself, which makes the proud Yue Jinkui very uncomfortable. Since he has a chance this time, of course he will not let it slip away easily: "What does my uncle want me to do?"

"As long as you can really do what I ordered this time, not to mention being a serious person in the army, it is not difficult to give you a team." Luo Dong looked at Xu Jinghong and the other team standing below and said, "But I have to remind you of one thing. Your opponent will not be simple. You must be careful. In addition, you don't have to keep this battle. It's best if you can kill the opponent on the spot. As he spoke, his face showed some cruelty and pleasure.

Yue Jinkui didn't frown and nodded and said, "Okay, I won't let my uncle down."

"You go down and change your clothes and listen to the arrangements at that time." After Luo Dong winked at him, Yue Jinkui stepped down, and then Luo Dong called the close bodyguards around him and whispered in his ear.

The 500 people under the stage are constantly putting out various formations according to the orders of their respective teams, which makes people feel a little majestic. Xu Jinghong's fifth team is in it, just like everyone else, but many people's eyes fell on the high platform. Everyone is still worried, because I don't know what kind of result today's match will be. Whether it will become famous in World War I or still the same, only today.

After nearly an hour of acting like this, someone ordered to stop, and then ordered the team to rest on the spot. Wait a minute, it's time for a real drama and a military test. Taking this opportunity, Tian Dahu and others came to Xu Jinghong and asked in a low voice, "Team Zheng, how sure do you think we can be today?"

"If it was two days ago, I think it should be only 70% sure, but now I have more than 90% sure." Xu Jinghong smiled confidently and said, "You have also seen the appearance of those teams. Can they be our opponents?"

"That being said, we still have to beware just in case. If they cheat from it, I'm afraid..." After all, he was an old man in the army for a long time, and Geng Zhong broke the key.

Xu Jinghong also nodded and said, "I have expected this layer for a long time. Not to mention that this time we are going to compete with Luo Dong's cronies for this position, he will not easily make us successful."

"How about this? After all, he is a guard. If he does something secretly, I'm afraid we can't defend against it. Everyone was worried when they heard it.

"So that's why I only had a 70% chance of winning two days ago, but now the situation is different." Xu Jinghong pointed to the high platform and said, "I have got the exact information that Governor Liu has sent someone to our institute, called observation, which is actually supervision. If there is anything wrong with it, Luo Dong will take full responsibility. So I don't think he can deal with us this time.

"So that's it!" The soldiers were greatly relieved, and at the same time, they added a little more admiration for Xu Jinghong. Who can talk and laugh like him can solve a difficult problem?

The military has just settled down, and there has been a sound of drums on the high platform, which has gathered everyone again. Standing on the high platform, Luo Dong felt the pleasure of holding the military power, which strengthened his determination: he must not shake his position because of a slave. Since he wants to challenge his authority, he must destroy him!

After everyone stood still, Luo Dongcai said, "Every year, in order to promote the military prestige of the Song Dynasty, the court will hold a military competition at the end of the first month. Naturally, our southwest border army cannot weaken this name! And this battle is related to the image of our southwest army in the eyes of the world, so we must let the best soldiers go forward. Adhering to this point, our Xuanzi Camp stipulates that those who want to show their skills must be determined here before the winner can go further!

"Today is the day I choose from the eighth school. If any team wants to go, just stand up!" In the end, his eyes only stared coldly at the fifth team where Xu Jinghong was.

did not disappoint him. As soon as his voice fell, Xu Jinghong had taken the lead in coming out: "Your Excellency, the fifth team is willing to fight for this victory for my Southwest Army and for my Xuanzi Camp!"

Seeing Xu Jinghong coming out so quickly, Luo Dong's eyes flashed murder, but he still smiled and said, "Well, it's really worthy of being such an ambition to be a person of my border army!"

The first team also stood up after Luo Dong said this, and then no other team dared to stand up. They were very clear about their strength and really didn't dare to come to this mixed water.

Luo Dong did not force this, but said, "Well, since only two teams are confident to fight, let's choose this candidate from among you." Speaking of this, he changed his words: "But today's rules of the match have to be changed. In the past, the two teams always fought, which easily injured many people and affected the state of the winner, so this time the defense decided to change the way. That is, each team sends five people to represent the team, and then the two sides fight against each other. As long as one side can win three people, the team will win.

It was a little strange for the soldiers to hear that such a comparison had been changed. The long history Zhou Ling stepped forward and said, "Luo Shoubei, it seems inappropriate to suddenly change the selection method, right?"

Luo Dong knew that this person would be more entangled in this issue, so he smiled and said, "Zhou Changshi is not in the army. He may not know enough about the situation in our army. This arrangement is also to select better talents."

"Oh, how to say this? As far as I know, the martial arts in this army are very different from ordinary fighting. Even if a person has good martial arts skills, once he gets to the battlefield, it is not very useful in the army. Why does Luo Gebei want them to decide the winner with their personal martial arts skills?

"Long history only knows one thing, but I don't know the other. Indeed, the role of personal martial arts in thousands of troops is very limited, but when fighting with the enemy, a person who is good at martial arts is still very effective on his side. The soldiers fight with blood. If the leading generals move forward, they will naturally be encouraged. At that time, they are likely to play 12 out of their skills when they fight with the enemy. Therefore, this martial arts is also necessary for a general. We have to choose the best team this time. Naturally, we can't ignore this point. Luo Dong had been prepared for a long time, so as soon as the other party raised his question, he gave a sufficient reason.

Zhou Ling was just a civilian official who was ordered to observe. Since the other party had a real excuse, he could not insist more, so he nodded and retreated. Seeing that he didn't say more, Luo Dong had a little more confidence and raised his voice and said, "Since only the first and fifth teams want to do their best for us now, let's send five people each of you."

The sergeants on Xu Jinghong's side were a little caught off guard. They originally planned to let others know that they were powerful with the skills they had gained from more than a month of hard training, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Tian Dahu and others frowned and said to Xu Jinghong, "Team Zheng, I'm afraid there must be some conspiracy in this arrangement. What should we do?"

"What should I do? Only the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it!" Xu Jinghong looked up at Luo Dong on the high platform and said, "Obviously, he came up with this plan because he knew that the first team was not our opponent in terms of overall strength. Now he is a captain. We have to obey orders. Let's see then.

"That's the only way. Let me and the team play together." Tian Dahu was a cheerful man and immediately recommended himself: "As for other candidates..." This made him a little embarrassed. Although many people in the team are armed with martial arts, it's really not good.

"Old bear, old dog, you are all armed with martial arts. Do you dare to fight with those people with me?" Xu Jinghong looked at his two relatives. He already knows the situation in the team. In addition to himself, Tian Dahu's martial arts skills are also quite low. The remaining three must have a good ability, so he immediately thought of the two people from the mine.

"We should accompany ourselves!" Xiong Geng and the old dog looked back. One of them is a local martial artist, and the other is a veteran who has punched in the boxing ring. They have fought with people many times, but they are not timid.

"Who should be the remaining one?" Xu Jinghong looked at the soldiers in the team, which was really difficult to decide.

"Let me go!" Geng Zhong volunteered bravely.

"No!" Xu Jinghong shook his head and said, "Lao Tian and I have gone to the test. There must be someone in this team. If you also go, who will lead the team?" In fact, this is just an excuse for Xu Jinghong. The real reason is that he knows that Geng Zhong's martial arts skills are not good and doesn't want him to take risks.

"Then let me go!" A tall man said that Xu Jinghong saw the soldier he saw when he came to the barracks for the first time that day. His name was Guo Shaoping. He had also seen Guo Shaoping's ability and knew that he was only inferior to a few people in the team, so he nodded and responded.

In this way, Xu Jinghong has already decided on the candidate and reported it.

In a short time, the first team over there also selected five people, and then with the sound of drums above, a catch between the two teams was about to begin.

The place of the competition is where everyone performed martial arts just now. At this time, a large piece of flat land has been made, with a radius of five feet. Before starting, Luo Dong said something else, which was nothing more than encouraging the whole army to practice diligently, and then he said, "This competition, unlimited time, infinite blade, as long as you can defeat the opponent, you will be the winner!"

"Dare to ask the guard, will it hurt people in this way?" Xu Jinghong suddenly asked.

"In this school competition, casualties are always inevitable. If Team Xu doesn't have this confidence, he can give up!"

Xu Jinghong sneered: "I just asked casually. I'm afraid that it will hurt people at that time, and the guards will blame us."

"Well, as long as you have this ability, it's easy to die!" Luo Dong stared at Xu Jinghong angrily: "Please invite the representatives of the two teams to come forward now."

Xu Jinghong and five people strode out of the team, and there were also five men in military uniforms on the other side. Looking at their appearance, Tian Dahu shouted softly, "Huh!"

"What's wrong with Lao Tian?" Xu Jinghong asked in a low voice.

"These five people are not from the first team except Yin Daoyan." Tian Dahu hummed, "One of them is the team of the fourth team, and I have never seen the other three..."

"Yin Daoyan..." Xu Jinghong couldn't help laughing. Why did the Yin team have such a name? But when I think about the current era, I feel relieved. He suppressed his voice and said, "It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time. Those guys are not simple. We must deal with them carefully."

"This Yin is worse than Lao Tian. If I match him, I will definitely win a game." Tian Dahu Road.

"Okay, then arrange for you to deal with this person. I will stay in the end, and they will also leave the most powerful characters at that time. The others will be handed over to you. Xu Jinghong said and looked at the remaining three people.

"The team is rest assured that we will not humiliate you!" The three said categorically

"Team 5, who will you send first?" Xu Jinghong, while they were still discussing, Luo Dong over there was already a little impatient and said, "Let's send someone to the end."

Xu Jinghong understood that the other party wanted to see who was on his side, and then looked good at the single dish, but this dumb loss could only be eaten, so he nodded to Xiong Geng: "Old bear, it's up to you to go in this first battle!"

@@@

The group fight has become a one-on-one, didn't you think of it? I didn't expect to punish counting tickets and collecting, and give some of what I thought of. Who told us to be so smart?
