And precisely because no one recognized him, Yeon Gaesowen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At the moment just now, Yeon Gaesumun had to admit that he was still a little nervous. For a moment, he was really worried about being recognized... Even if he thought about it, it shouldn't be. After all, due to various reasons during the period of moving south, he
His appearance has also changed a lot, not to mention that he has learned a lot during this time. The Xianbei people who were moved south from Goguryeo were basically resettled in the south, from the sugar mills in Hangzhou to the sugar fields in Southeast...
…these places.
In Chang'an, there were not many Xianbei people, so the probability was even smaller. It was confirmed that the people around him did not recognize him.
Yeon Gaesumun quickly adjusted his mentality and completely entered a fighting state.
It was as if Uchiha Madara kicked the coffin board angrily, and his true boss temperament burst out and overflowed instantly.
but……
The next moment, Yeon Gaesumun discovered that... the Tang Army primary school opposite didn't seem to be very nervous!
Observe... Although this small school is young.
However, in the face of the aura that he once served as Da Duilu, a peerless hero of the Xianbei tribe, this small school was as calm as water, with no sign of any mood swings.
This made Yeon Gaesumun feel a chill in his heart.
As a veteran high-end military elite, Yeon Gaesumun would certainly not rely on using aura to defeat the enemy - there were countless cannibalistic tribes in Mobei, so how could they be suppressed by aura?
And then again, if he hadn't killed countless people with his own hands, aura... wouldn't have been possible to develop out of thin air.
But Yeon Gaesomun does not place his hope on this, which does not mean that as a high-end elite who possesses both the bloody ferocity of the Hu people and the profound education of the Han people, he will not understand temperament. This time...
Although I feel that I have lost some points, to be honest, the suppression of the aura is also within Yeon Gaesumun's consideration. After all...
Going back to the original point, I still brought a group of scholar puppies to participate in this martial arts event. This was obviously a serious disadvantage. I had to rely on myself for the whole process. In this situation... it must be useful.
Even factors that "may" be useful must be utilized.
But obviously the other party is not moved by his aura. And this means...
The other party's psychological quality is not a little hard, not relatively hard, not very hard, but truly excellent.
In other words...
This is a powerful opponent. And you can think of it...for such a grand occasion and such an important moment, this small school must...have been carefully selected by Li Xiaogong. It must be the top one under this unfathomable veteran.
That kind of young man.
Facing such an opponent, there is no doubt that you have to use hard power. Many strategies based on "deception" are not available and cannot be effective, because the opponent can be deceived, but it is obvious that they will not be bluffed.
Thinking about it... Yeon Gae So Moon felt more and more stressed.
Ma De, is this a wave of pills? In such a big event, if I lose, Li Sheng...this lazy dog who didn't show up will probably lose face, right? Then I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to get along in the Southern Dynasties...
Yeon Gaesumun had a toothache inexplicably, and he greeted Li Sheng eighteen times in his heart for this strange and unscrupulous person who didn't train himself even though he was obviously capable, and didn't show up when it was obviously a matter of his own reputation.
but……
The only thing that surprised Yeon Gaesumun was...
From the moment Li Er announced the opening, to the moment when he stepped forward and saluted the Tang Army commander, and then returned to their respective positions, there was not much movement from the group of scholars and puppies behind him. It could even be said that
It's...a silence.
Although the time was not long, it was surprising that these Southern dynasty milk dogs were completely silent. Of course... Yeon Gaesumun could understand that these scholars were nervous when facing the real imperial army that was as fierce as the barbarians, but even if they were nervous
...There should also be some whispers, and if you don’t dare to whisper, there will always be some small moves.
Are they all too nervous to move? This...
Realizing this, Yeon Gaesumun couldn't help but get a headache, and his back molars also hurt... It was too difficult to win.
Speaking of this martial arts competition...
The "two armies" use squads as the basic unit, and each is responsible for a position. There are a total of eighteen flagpoles on the position.
There are a total of thirty-six roots in the two formations, which are arranged on the field according to the rules of star counting.
Both armies were neatly dressed in heavy black armor, and each man held a thin, bright steel Tang horizontal sword about four feet long.
There are no rules, just chop!
Of course, the Tang Hengdao was not used much in the Tang army. It was mainly carried by civilians when traveling far away and used to negotiate with bandits. As for being used in battle formations... Although such knives are well-made and have extremely sharp edges,
But in the face of heavy armor, the lethality is very limited - this is why the competition is a competition, not a fight between the two sides. If you really don't wear armor, use a horizontal knife to chop, or use heavy blunt weapons, such as the most common in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.
The iron caltrops, the copper melon sledgehammer, the double mace...then it's over, just a pile of corpses. And this deviates from the "competition" thing.
Therefore, the two armies did not directly attack each other.
Instead, they chop each other's flagpoles!
In addition to the flagpole, there is also a lot of "equipment" stacked on the field.
After saluting in front of the formation, civilians who had been arranged by the imperial army came up with a curtain, pulled it open, and cut the entire martial arts arena into two halves.
The reason for doing this is to separate the two warring parties so that both sides can set up their own defensive positions to protect their own flagpoles or set up "terrain" that is convenient for advancing in a double-blind situation.
original……
Compared with the later civil society of the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had three hundred and sixty industries in the world, and there were strange people and things. Everything could be played into the hands of the Chinese people, but this period was the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the end of the Sui Dynasty.
When the war just ended, Datang did not have enough time to develop people's livelihood - the current prosperous age was far from enough for Li Er, because the most important population size was still not much different from the first year of Zhenguan!
And in such a folk ecology, it stands to reason that it is impossible to perform such a fancy thing in martial arts.
However, since the Tang Dynasty had just been founded after all, most of the older generation of high-end military elites were still alive, and...
At present, Datang has established a "Military Research Institute" that specializes in battlefield offense and defense! As well as its subordinate institution, the Military Academy. There are such academic research institutions in...
It’s not surprising that this martial arts arena can be so exciting.
During the whole process, Yeon Gaesowun found that...the group of dog soldiers he led, who were from scholars and had only experienced physical confrontation training in the form of rugby, did not seem to be very afraid...
