"Haha, it seems that Mr. Lin was afraid that you would lose badly, so he even asked someone to remove your armor."
Of course Yuchi Gong would not miss this opportunity to mock Cheng Yaojin.
"Yuchi Dasha, you fart. Do I need him to give up? Let the two of them go down and let them all take off their armor."
Cheng Yaojin's face turned red, but he couldn't see it because his face was too dark.
But people who know him well know that he is now furious.
Lin Xuan secretly thought that he had miscalculated. He never expected that Yu Chigong would come out to taunt Cheng Yaojin.
In this competition, if the vital parts are marked, it will be considered as death.
Wearing armor doesn't mean much. On the contrary, armor is bulky and you can gain some advantages by removing it.
But now that Cheng Yaojin was provoked by Yuchi Gong and ordered to disarm him, his plan failed.
Lin Xuan wanted to persuade Cheng Yaojin, but seeing Cheng Yaojin's natural appearance, he didn't know how to speak.
If he tried to persuade him, Cheng Yaojin would definitely feel that Lin Xuan looked down on him.
You can't tell Cheng Yaojin that wearing armor is more beneficial to him.
I vowed to propose a competition, and now I have to calculate even a piece of armor. How embarrassing.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he knew Lin Xuan's plan after thinking about it for a moment.
But he had no intention of exposing it.
Although this is just a trivial matter, it is particularly important for marching and fighting.
Anyone who has watched TV knows that when two armies confront each other, the generals of both sides will fight and scold each other.
It's not that they are of low quality, it's just to suppress the opponent's morale.
Some small things, seemingly unimportant, may make the difference between victory and defeat.
Although Li Shimin knew Lin Xuan's plan, he did not stop Cheng Yaojin.
This was just a competition, not a battlefield. What he wanted to see was the strength of the soldiers trained by Lin Xuan.
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin's men had taken off their armor, Lin Xuan raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the two armies are ready. Do you want to start now?"
Li Shimin said calmly: "Let's start!"
Lin Xuan signaled to the ordering soldier and whispered something to him. After hearing this, the ordering soldier hurriedly ran to deliver the order.
The soldier who ordered the order first ran to the school grounds, said a few words to Cheng Chumo, and then ran to the drummer to convey the order.
When Cheng Yaojin saw this scene, he asked with some confusion: "Boy, have you come up with any weird ideas?"
Lin Xuan said mysteriously: "Uncle Cheng will know it just by looking at it."
After Cheng Chumo listened to the words of the messenger, he turned around and shouted to the thousand people behind him: "The general has an order, you can remove the weight on your body for this competition!"
"yes!"
Thousands of people roared and took off small cloth bags one after another from their wrists and ankles.
The weights they carried were not heavy. When converted into future generations, they only weighed about ten kilograms.
Many people may be used to seeing later generations carrying dozens of kilograms off-road at every turn, and think this is child's play.
But this was just a basic load. Lin Xuan had ordered that they were not allowed to take it off except for taking a bath.
In addition, ancient armor itself is very heavy, no worse than the weight of the army of later generations.
Of course, what we are talking about here is some ordinary troops. Military training is always kept secret. Lin Xuan doesn't know about some unknown things.
"What did they take down?" Li Shimin asked confused.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a weight-bearing bag, which contains some sand."
"How much weight do they usually need to carry?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
Lin Xuan said: "About six pounds."
In ancient times, one catty weighed sixteen taels. In later generations, ten catties weighed just over six catties.
He hadn't asked them to take it off before, just because he didn't want to take advantage.
Now that Cheng Yaojin asked people to remove their armor, he naturally asked them to remove their weights.
For Cheng Yaojin, this was just a competition, and losing would be a matter of humiliation.
For Lin Xuan, this is a war.
He promised Li Shimin that he wanted to train the best among the best, so how could he not achieve some results?
"Hiss~"
Everyone took a breath of air.
Yu Chigong exclaimed: "How is it possible? The way I looked at them just now, they didn't look like they were carrying a heavy load at all."
Not to mention Yu Chigong, even Li Jing and others looked in disbelief.
"Come here, take off the bags and bring a few over." Li Shimin ordered.
Facts speak louder than words. If you have doubts, verify it yourself.
Not long after, the Forbidden Army sent several cloth bags. Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others checked them and had no choice but to believe them.
"Tch, it's just that little, so what if I take it off?" Cheng Yaojin said with some disdain.
Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing. Bearing weight all the time is different from bearing weight for a short period of time.
A child can lift something weighing ten kilograms, but the weight is different.
If you don’t believe me, you can try it. It doesn’t need to be too heavy. Just get something weighing two or three kilograms and tie it to your arm. If you live a normal day, you will definitely feel like your arm is about to break.
Soldiers who take off their weights feel an unprecedented sense of comfort.
After training for more than two months, the weight increased from one kilogram at the beginning to more than six kilograms now.
You cannot take it off except for bathing, eating and sleeping.
Now that I don't have that damn weight, the feeling of relief is simply indescribable.
"Dong dong dong~"
At this moment, a drum sound sounded, which meant that the competition was about to begin.
Cheng Chu silently shouted: "Get your weapons and prepare to fight!"
When the soldier heard Cheng Chumo's words, he clenched the weapon in his hand and stared at the enemy opposite with murderous eyes.
Although there were three thousand people on the other side, they were not afraid at all. On the contrary, they were very excited.
"kill!"
Cheng Yaojin's party of three thousand people, led by Xiao Xiao, let out a roar, gripped the stick tightly, and rushed forward with a ferocious look on his face.
This kind of confrontation is not the kind of fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield, so it will not be as complicated as on the battlefield.
It is precisely for this reason that Cheng Yaojin's order to them was to charge forward desperately and use the advantage of numbers to directly overwhelm the opponent.
Under the command of the primary school, they formed a long snake formation as they rushed forward. With an indomitable momentum, they charged towards the one thousand people led by Cheng Chumo.
From the looks of it, it really feels like you can decide the world from one stop.
The roars of three thousand people in unison can scare even the timid ones out.
Just looking at this momentum, it looks like it was trained by Cheng Yaojin.
Li Shimin, who was on the general stage, became excited when he saw the murderous charge of three thousand people.
Li Shimin held the armrests tightly with both hands, and a trace of fanaticism appeared on his chubby face.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the days when he led troops into battle and fought with iron and steel.
After a long time, Li Shimin exhaled, his face calmed down, and he said: "You are worthy of being an elite soldier of the Tang Dynasty."
The generals behind Li Shimin also nodded in agreement.
They all come from military backgrounds, and none of them has experienced hundreds of battles.
Since the destruction of the Eastern Turks, the Tang Dynasty has basically been recuperating.
Injuries and some older veterans have retired a lot.
These soldiers have not been in the camp very long, and they have not been on the battlefield yet. It is already very difficult to have such momentum.
"It seems that Chijie is going to win."
"Yes, even though they all entered the camp at the same time, the difference in numbers is so huge that it would be difficult to win."
None of the generals were optimistic about Lin Xuan.
They have almost entered the camp and have never been on the battlefield, so the difference in itself becomes smaller.
They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. It is not that they have never fought in battles where they have defeated more with less.
But that is a battlefield, where you can use strategies or take advantage of the terrain, and there are many uncertain factors.
If you think about it, even if they were to play, they wouldn't be sure they would win or win.
Lin Xuan heard their discussion, but was not disturbed at all.
If it were a real battlefield, he wouldn't be confident that he would be able to do one thousand against three thousand.
But in such terrain, he is very confident.
He believed in the training methods of later generations and also believed in Xue Rengui.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Just when the princes and ministers were not optimistic about Lin Xuan, Cheng Chumo led a thousand people and started to move.
Cheng Chumo looked at the people rushing in front of him, without any panic, and shouted: "Attack!"
