In the camp of Division B of Dushi Infantry Battalion in Baoan Prefecture, Li Erdan, the sword and shield soldier of Division A of Bureau B, loudly announced his name when he saw Yu Deshui, the chief executive of Bureau B, also came over to greet the general Liu Changliang.
"Since I joined the army as a soldier, I have always been a sword and shield soldier. Since King Qin returned last year, I haven't competed with anyone for half a year.
Li Erdan, do you dare to compete with someone in martial arts?" Liu Changliang, the general manager, looked at Li Erdan and asked.
Li Erdan was stunned when he heard this, and felt his big head buzzing. He even doubted whether he had heard it wrong. He stood there stupidly for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Do you dare?" General Manager Liu Changliang asked loudly again.
"I would never dare!"
Only then did Li Erdan react and immediately replied loudly.
He finally confirmed that he heard correctly. He practiced the art of killing with sword and shield under the guidance of his father since he was urinating. Even after his father passed away when he was sixteen, he never stopped practicing daily.
Moreover, he has a round waist and broad shoulders, and possesses a lot of brute strength. Normally, it would be difficult for more than ten people to get close to him, but today he was going to compete with Liu Changliang, a ferocious scarred swordsman from Qianhu, but he backed down.
"Don't be afraid! If someone asks you to come and beat him, just come and beat him without any worries.
Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. also became a senior officer like you from an ordinary soldier? When General Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the right-wing battalion of Xuan Town, selected me and others to join the camp, Mr. and Mrs. relied on his brute strength to actually win.
He almost knocked down our general.
From then on, he became the captain of the corps, and then he was promoted to your superior officer based on his military exploits. You are coming here today, so there is no need to be afraid!"
When Liu Changliang mentioned the former general, everyone saw that his face was full of piety, and there was no hint of ferocity on his face.
"Of course, at that time we were competing in unarmed sumo wrestling with the general. If it were a competition of bows, sabers, swords, and spears, a certain family under the general would not be able to survive even a single confrontation!" Liu Changliang, the general's boss, said this.
, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
At this time, Yu Deshui, the chief executive of Bureau B, also came over and told Li Erdan not to be afraid. He only heard him say: "You are afraid of a ball. Don't you usually boast that you are skilled with swords and shields? This time you are doing it for us."
If we go out to play in the second round, we dare not lose our prestige in the second round.
If you win the contest, I’ll reward you with three more slices of meat for your next meal!”
With Mr. Bai's encouragement, what's more important is that the temptation of those three pieces of meat is too great.
Li Erdan became more courageous. He bowed and saluted the commander-in-chief, Liu Changliang, and said, "Well, the adults have orders. I dare not disobey them!"
When Liu Changliang saw that he had agreed, he asked Li Erdan to stretch his legs on his own while he talked to President Bai Yu Deshui on the side.
…………
Sword and shield soldier Li Erdan was going to compete with Liu Ba in martial arts, and hundreds of sergeants from the entire Jia Division gathered here, waiting to watch the show.
Even the sergeants of Bureau A, who had just finished dinner, noticed the excitement here and gathered around to watch. Cheng Sanhu, the fire gun soldier of Bureau A, was originally following behind Commander Tan Hesheng, but he could not enter the circle.
I can't clearly see what's going on inside.
At this time, Zheng Youjin, the general manager of Bureau A, learned about this and was striding forward. When the sergeants in front saw him coming, they all retreated and made way forcibly.
Cheng Sanhu was very smart. He jumped in front of Mr. Zheng Bai. He swaggered in front to lead the way for Zheng Youjin like a fox pretending to be a tiger. When he entered the inner circle, he cleverly stepped aside and gave way to Mr. Zheng Bai.
Get the best position.
Li Erdan from Bureau B held the wooden sword he usually used for martial arts training in his hand, and he was waving it vigorously in the air to test the weight of the wooden sword.
Fan Jin, the commander of the first armor next to him, came over, punched Li Erdan's body as strong as an iron tower, and said in a deep voice: "Erdan, let's have a good competition. This time, we will definitely defeat Master Qianhu. Let's give it to you."
These guys are fighting for face!"
There was a sergeant in their first armor who had sharp ears and eyes, and whispered: "Erdan, we don't dare to underestimate the enemy. I heard that this scarred Qianhu followed the general to the capital last year.
However, he killed many Tatars on the battlefield, and his reputation for fierceness and bravery was widely known in the army. Because his surname was Liu, and he was the fourth eldest child in his family, he was called the desperate Liu Silang among King Qin's army last year!
"
At this time, President Bai Yu Deshui also came over. After hearing this, he said to Li Erdan: "You don't have to be afraid, we will make the President the most important warrior.
Since he orders you to fight with him, just let go of your hands and feet and hit him hard.
If you can exert all your strength to defeat our boss in this competition, wouldn’t it mean that you are trying your best to defeat the new recruit Li Erdan!”
After Yu Deshui said these words, even he couldn't help but laugh, and everyone in the surrounding Bureau B burst into laughter when they heard what he said.
It happened that Zheng Youjin, the general manager of Bureau A, came over. He patted Yu Deshui on the shoulder and said, "Wow, Yu Deshui, how dare you, Yu Deshui, arrange for our Scared Fourth Master Liu in private!"
Although the four hundred commanders of the Division A of the B Division of the Dushi Infantry Battalion were all selected from the old right-wing battalion sergeants who came to Beijing to Qinwang last year, only Zheng Youjin and Yu Deshui, the commander-in-chief, Liu Changliang, were in the same post.
We are very familiar with him, so we dare to make fun of him.
Yu Deshui opened his mouth and smiled at Zheng Youjin. He first handed the two poles with the spearheads removed to Fan Jin, the commander of the first armor, and ordered: "Tie a two-liang weight to the heads of these poles.
Remember to tighten your sandbags so that the president can use them during the martial arts contest."
"Making progress step by step"
Although Li Erdan didn't know a few words, he had practiced swords and shields since he was a child, and his perception of martial arts was extremely sensitive. When he saw the javelin, these four words immediately came to his mind.
In various border towns of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were sword and shield soldiers or spear soldiers, they all carried one or two javelins when fighting. When approaching the enemy, they would first throw the javelin and then jump out to fight with them.
And this "step forward" is an individual combat skill. It means that when fighting, holding a shield in the left hand and a javelin in the right hand, first throw the javelin to hit the enemy from a long distance. Regardless of whether it hits or misses, the enemy will definitely raise his arms.
Block, then take advantage of the enemy's raised arms, leap forward with the shield, and at the same time draw his sword to slash the enemy, almost inflicting damage.
Before his father passed away, Li Erdan had heard him talk about this step-by-step strategy, so he was particularly impressed by it. However, his father passed away unexpectedly before he could teach it to him.
"good!
Today we will learn the unique skills of this battlefield battle!" Li Erdan said secretly in his heart.
The brothers in First Armor helped Li Erdan put on his armor, tighten the belts, and put on his helmet and visor specially.
Fan Jin, the armor commander, punched Li Erdan on the shoulder and said, "Remember to give me a few hard blows!"
