Chapter 414 Deterrence of the generals in the shooting school
Chapter 414: The sharpshooting in the school field deters the generals
As night falls, the lanterns of Zhendingfu City begin to light up.
This important town in Hebei Province is now the political, economic and military center of the entire northern Song Dynasty.
The night was deep and dark.
A bright moon hangs in the night sky, and there are only a few stars around it, like pearls scattered in the sky, giving off a soft and bright light.
Upstairs at the city gate, the cold wind penetrated my bones.
Surrounded by military flags, Wang Lin wrapped himself tightly in his cloak and looked at the military camps outside the city, which were covered by the sun, as well as the clusters of bonfires all over the mountains and plains.
Yan Qing stood beside him holding a torch, while on the other side of him was the young man Yue Fei wearing armor and holding a sword.
Yue Fei said in a concentrated voice: "Master, Zhong Shidao's 50,000-strong Western Army was stationed in the southwest of Zhending. They stood with their backs to the mountains and just jumped out of the guard of the three major battalions of our army. This shows that Zhong Shidao is well versed in the art of war and has done a thorough job.
Prepare.
Today, the students saw that the generals of the Western Army were quite arrogant, and most of them were unruly and unruly people. Teacher Zhong was rejected by the master. I am afraid that the soldiers from the Zhong family under his command would have a lot of resentment. To prevent any unexpected events, students
Guan Sheng and Suo Chao's troops have been ordered to maintain combat readiness, and the students have led the troops of the Dongda Battalion to guard the front. If there is any trouble with the Zhong family army, our three armies will come out together and we will definitely destroy it!"
Yan Qing also said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the Tiger God Guard under the general's command is also on urgent standby. If the Zhong family dares to do anything wrong, let these Western Army warriors know the power of my Tiger God Cavalry!"
Wang Lin stared at it for a long time and nodded slowly.
Although he did not think that Zhongshi Dao would rebel, it was still necessary to be prepared for unexpected events.
In fact, he deliberately gave Master Zhong a warning today, and his intention was also to test him.
If a small group of people in the Western Army really take risks, he will definitely not tolerate them.
With Guan Sheng on the left, Suo Chao on the right, Yue Fei on the front, and Yan Qing's ten thousand cavalry supporting him, even if all fifty thousand of the Western Army mutinied, the situation could still be firmly controlled.
"Zhong Shidao is a generation of famous generals. The Zhong family's army has been stationed on the border for nearly a hundred years and has made great contributions to the country. I don't want to see the Zhong family go to a dead end because of this."
Wang Lin sighed softly, but his voice suddenly became cold and firm: "But if the Western Army cannot be used by Gu and insists on holding back Gu Kangjin, then Gu will never be merciful."
"Peng Ju, order the entire army to be on standby. If there is any abnormal movement of the Western Army, we can directly send troops to destroy it!"
Yue Fei bowed and accepted the order: "Student, obey the order!"
"Xiao Yi, tomorrow will be the opening ceremony of the military academy. The Tiger Divine Guard will be on alert. I'm afraid it won't calm down like this..."
Yan Qing silently accepted the order.
Wang Lin said nothing more and quietly looked at the farthest Western Army camp.
The night was dark, the cold wind was howling, and occasionally one or two sharp horse neighs were faintly heard, and then they disappeared in the night sky.
…
Every moment.
Although the red sun is rising, the sky and earth are still filled with biting cold air. In Hebei this season, dripping water turns into ice.
Zhending Military Academy.
Since Mao hour, as soon as the sky breaks, an endless stream of people, merchants and scholars have been pouring in from all directions in the city. Today's opening ceremony of the Zhending Military Academy has attracted countless people to watch.
Of course, those who are eligible to enter the military academy to observe the ceremony are people from all walks of life with certain status.
Local officials, big businessmen, celebrities, subordinate officials of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion, military generals above the division commander, Zhang Kui, Cheng Yuanjing, Zhou Ziyan and some representatives of scholars, and of course those invited by Wang Lin's name to attend
Present at the ceremony were Zhang Xiaochun and his son, Liu Yanqing and his generals, Wu Jie and Wu Qi, and the generals from the Western Army who had just arrived yesterday were also indispensable.
The ceremony was held on the grounds of the military academy.
A high platform is set up on the south and north sides of the school grounds, and bleachers are set up on the other three sides.
At this moment, 500 military cadets in purple uniforms and 50 female cadets in cyan uniforms were already waiting in line under the high platform.
Under the guidance of the Tiger Guards, the guests attending the ceremony climbed onto the stands and found their seats. Soon the stands on all three sides were filled with people.
There is also a VIP seat in the corner of the south stand.
Zhu Lian, Chongde, Xiao Duolilai, Yelu Yuliyan and other girls also came to join in the fun, and the female officials of the palace used tents to shield them from the other distinguished guests.
Zhong Shidao and the generals of the Western Army entered the scene almost last.
The entrance of this group of proud soldiers of the Western Army immediately diverted the curious eyes of all the guests from the 50 female soldiers. After all, the names of the Western Army and Zhongshidao were placed here.
The public gaze, the attention of nearly a thousand people, made the Zhong family army feel proud, and they followed the cultivation master to the stands.
In the stands, Liu Yanqing, who was sitting upright, saw Mr. Zhong, stood up, cupped his hands and smiled and said, "I've met Mr. Zhong!"
Liu Yanqing was originally a general under Zhong Shidao, so of course he would call himself the last general when he met him.
But now Liu Yanqing was promoted to Hedong and took over Zhong Shidao's position in the Western Army. Although his official rank was slightly lower, in terms of power and status, he was basically on an equal footing with Zhong Shidao. He would never work lowly again.
Small.
Zhong Shidao's eyes were sharp and he nodded calmly and said: "Liu Jiedu is here well."
Although the two exchanged greetings as normal colleagues and didn't talk much, Zhong Haozhong was a disciple of the Zhong family and an absolute confidant of Zhong teachers like Guo Shun, so he intuitively felt Liu Yanqing's confidence.
Guo Shun looked unkind, sneered, lowered his head and said to Zhong Hao: "What a good dog, a dog relies on human power!"
Although Guo Shun's voice was not loud, it still reached Liu Guangshi's ears.
When Liu Guangshi saw that he had humiliated his father, he became furious and was about to explode, but was restrained by Liu Yanqing.
Liu Yanqing smiled calmly and shook his head.
Why bother to compete with the family members for a while?
no need.
From Liu Yanqing's point of view, if the Zhong family does not understand current affairs and cannot recognize the current general trend and righteousness, and the military power rests with the King of Yan, they will surely suffer losses if they do not change their mentality.
Just wait and see.
However, Yao Gu and other senior generals of the Western Army still handed over to Liu Yanqing. After all, Liu Yanqing was now the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and they would all be subordinates in the future.
Liu Yanqing looked calm, smiled and greeted the generals he knew.
The brothers Wu Jie and Wu Zhang next to him didn't know whether they were influenced by Liu Yanqing or they were not very interested in Zhong Shi Dao and the Zhong family. They just stood up and bowed their hands as a courtesy, saying "Mr. Zhong", and then returned to their seats.
No more words.
Zhong Hao was angry in his heart and thought: What a bunch of bastards who follow the trend of others. Who among the Western Army back then dared to see my father not worshiping me? Now that my Zhong family has lost power, he immediately puts on a villainous face and hates me.
People.
In fact, I really wronged brother Wu Jie and Wu Zong.
Strictly speaking, although Wu Jie and Wu Ga came from the Western Army, they were not directly affiliated with Zhong Shi Dao. They were stationed in Guanlong and did not have a close relationship with the Zhong Family Army.
There is no direct superior-subordinate relationship with Zhongshi Dao.
Zhong Shidao looked indifferent and sat alone in the stands, looking into the field.
At this time, the desolate military drum thundered.
Accompanied by intensive drumbeats, Wang Lin, wearing a royal robe and a purple gold crown on his head, with the snow on his crotch and the lion shining in the night, galloped from the outside.
His horse, Yan Qing, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi and other generals followed closely behind him.
Wang Lin slowly climbed onto the high platform in front of everyone's attention.
The stands immediately recalled the cheers of King Yan's victory. The faces of the male and female students in the audience turned red with excitement, but they upheld strict military discipline and stood as tall as a mountain.
Wang Lin smiled calmly, waved his hand and said: "Get the Gushen Arm Bow!"
Two tiger guards presented the prepared divine arm bow and arrow pot.
At this time, the onlookers discovered that there were three archery targets opposite the high platform, that is, in front of the south stand.
But the distance seems a bit far, and it should be more than three hundred steps by visual inspection.
Master Zhong frowned and his eyes were gloomy and silent.
Zhong Hao and Guo Shun looked at each other and sneered, and said in a low voice: "It's just a matter of grandstanding, but if you set an arrow target three hundred steps away and you can still hit it, it's really evil."
Zhongwei next to him also sneered: "The best marksmen in our Western Army can only take one hundred and fifty steps at most. Beyond this, it is beyond human power. This guy really thinks he is a god."
Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and other generals of the Western Army also shook their heads secretly. They didn't know what Wang Lin was going to do. It was impossible to hit it from such a long distance.
The legendary Three Kingdoms Lu Bu's halberd shooting range is 150 steps, but for ordinary military generals, 100 steps is basically the ceiling.
Liu Yanqing frowned, turned his head and whispered to Liu Guangshi: "My son, what King Yan is doing is..."
Liu Guangshi whispered: "Father, this is nothing more than a warning to the generals in the army, especially..."
Liu Guangshi and his son were whispering when they suddenly heard Wang Lin's loud voice on the high platform: "Today's opening ceremony of the military academy, Isolated Three Targets are here. The purpose is that I am willing to make an alliance with the generals for a period of three years, and I will lead the army to the north.
Recover my homeland of Yanyun!"
Immediately, they saw Wang Lin nocking an arrow and drawing the bow, and the bow reached the full moon. Before anyone could see clearly, Wang Lin's energy and blood were already surging, and he used his skills to shoot three arrows in the lightning and stone fire like a meteor chasing the moon.
All three arrows hit the bullseye!!
"The King of Yan is victorious!"
"The King of Yan's Divine Shot!"
There was a slight silence in the school grounds for a moment, then suddenly bursts of cheers broke out, deafening.
The five hundred students, especially the 50 female students, were excited, waving their arms, cheering, and looking at Wang Lin with endless reverence and admiration.
King Yan is such a master of archery that he is unrivaled in the world and is absolutely unmatched by anyone. And King Yan will take the time to personally teach them the art of archery!
Master Zhong suddenly stood up, his face full of bewilderment: How could it be possible to hit such a long distance?
Behind him, Zhong Haozhong opened his mouth wide for the children of the Zhong family, looking as if he had eaten shit.
Liu Yanqing was stunned, then slowly stood up and said: "The King of Yan is a true god and man! The human god of King Yan descended to earth, it seems that the rumors are true!"
Brothers Wu Jie and Wu Zhang quickly looked at each other. Although their expressions were calm, they were truly amazed in their hearts.
Zhe Keqiu took a breath of air.
King Yan was brave, capable of subduing tigers, and was said to be invincible in the world. He had only heard about it briefly, but actually didn't take it seriously.
But these three arrows today were enough to scare him.
Such a divine general cannot be an enemy!
Yao Gu looked dull and didn't say a word for a long time.
The pretty faces of Zhu Lian and other girls, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan in the south stands turned red with excitement.
They had only heard of how brave Wang Lin was, but when they saw him on the school grounds today, huge waves surged in their hearts.
Xiao Duolilai sighed deeply, God's will was in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, if the Khitan could produce such a world-class hero, why would it be destroyed by the Jin Dynasty?
