Chapter 152 Before leaving the fortress
When they were observing Yang Hong, Yang Hong was also observing them.
Regarding Li Dachuan and Shi Jing, Yang Hong admired Li Dachuan even more because Li Dachuan looked like him.
Yang Hong was getting older and it was time for him to go into battle in person. However, when he came to the post during the Yongle period, he was only a member of a hundred households. When he didn't accept the charge that night, his performance might not be worse than that of Li Dachuan.
For Shi Jing, he felt that he was just a showman.
Of course, he would not say this.
He said calmly, "Get up."
"Yes." The two of them stood up.
Yang Hong said, "You are the people around His Majesty, but in the army, what should happen or what will happen? I will not show mercy. I am going to Kaiping and Daning, three hundred miles out of the fortress, and you will encounter danger at any time. You don't want to
Cause trouble to the army."
The two agreed in unison.
Yang Hong waved his hand and let the two of them go out.
Li Dachuan and Shi Jing breathed a sigh of relief when they left Yang Hong's room.
Li Dachuan took a deep breath and said, "It's so familiar. I entered the customs from here for four years of orthodoxy."
Shi Jing said, "Brother Li's feat back then is unparalleled by anyone in the army today."
Li Dachuan waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of daring to fight hard."
While the two were talking, they heard a soldier say, "Major General Shi is competing with others, go and watch."
In an instant, a large number of soldiers ran over.
Shi Jing and Li Dachuan looked at each other and followed the crowd. When they arrived, they saw a sea of people forming a circle.
After all, Shi Jing and Li Dachuan were officers. The soldiers all moved out of the way, but they saw Shi Biao and Fan Guang, bare-chested, with their hands firmly on their backs. They stood firm on their feet, using each other's strength.
At the corner.
Shi Biao and Fan Guang were both in their early twenties and full of energy. It seemed that Shi Biao didn't recognize fifth place. There was a conflict between the two and they decided to show off.
Of course, this is the military, and a war is about to begin. They seem relaxed, but in fact they are under strict supervision. If they use weapons, they will be violating military law.
But ∠ is different.
This kind of thing is common in the military and cannot be prohibited.
It's just that both of them are masters. As soon as they get into a stance, their feet seem to take root, and it becomes a competition between them.
The two of them were flushed, sweating profusely, and even their muscles were twitching slightly, but they still couldn't shake each other. However, Shi Biao used a clever move first to knock Fan Guang down.
But Fan Guang had already paid attention and immediately moved out of the way.
The two sides went from stillness to movement, and a series of movements were as fast as lightning. From the beginning, both sides used all kinds of methods to throw the other side to the ground.
It's just that the two of them have equal strength and skills, so no one can do anything to the other for a while.
Being so evenly matched, the confrontation between the two sides was even more exciting. For a while, the soldiers who were watching shouted loudly, "Throw him, throw him."
"It's fallen, it's fallen."
Some soldiers even started to bet on treasure.
When the sound came out, most of the soldiers who were not on duty came to see it.
Even among the guard troops, there are still superiors and inferiors. The guard station is divided into garrison troops and combat troops. At the beginning, the garrison troops accounted for only 30%, but the further you go to the garrison, the more garrison troops there are.
The garrison troops who farmed all year round were not much different from ordinary farmers.
However, none of these cavalrymen had a background in garrisoning. They were all elites. Above the Nine Borders, there were no big battles every year, but there were never too many small battles.
Zhu Qizhen remembered Yang Hong's name because of his 200-level battle with beheadings. But little did he know that there were countless battles with more beheadings and less, and even battles without beheadings.
I also want to complain about the beheading system here.
There is an ancient system among the Mongols, which can even be said to have been inherited from the Huns. That is to bring back the bodies of those who died in battle, and then all the belongings of those who died in battle can be used at the grassroots level.
Therefore, even when the Mongols were defeated, they tried hard to take the corpses back.
Moreover, it is difficult for cavalry to completely control the battlefield in a cavalry battle. Even if they are defeated, it is difficult to annihilate them. In other words, even if most of the Ming army wins the battle, as long as it is not an annihilation battle, they will not have many beheadings.
After all, you can only send people to behead people after you have complete control of the battlefield. Otherwise, the enemy will just wait for you to behead someone while the enemy counterattacks violently.
Generally speaking, the Mongolian losses were definitely several times the number of beheadings by the Ming army.
The border troops who grew up in such an atmosphere had a certain attitude of not seeking tomorrow for today, because many small battles were not without death.
For the imperial court, there may be big battles and small battles, but for ordinary soldiers, it is all the same and they will all lead to death.
Therefore, most of these soldiers did not save money. When they had money, they drank, gambled, and found women, but they spent it all in a few days. But when fighting, they never spared their lives.
When you see the future at a glance, you won't take your own life too seriously.
There are so many hereditary military officers and low-level soldiers who are as lucky as Li Dachuan. The most likely possibility is that they will die in a certain battle.
In other words, after a battle, someone was injured and returned to the garrison to become a garrison.
There is no other possibility.
Therefore, they all know that life is worthless.
In this state, even a general would find it difficult to go against the will of the public. Even Yang Hong, who had a reputation for being strict in running the army, turned a blind eye.
Just when Fan Guang and Shi Biao were locked in a stalemate, a big man suddenly took off his coat, jumped in, and pressed the two of them to the ground with one hand in each hand. He said, "You two brats are about to fight. Use your strength to win."
Bar."
When Li Dachuan saw this man's skills, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said to himself, "It's amazing."
But I heard a soldier say, "General Shi, I am in charge, how do you decide who wins or loses?"
"Bah." General Shi spat and said, "I haven't punished you for the crime of gambling in the army, but you still dare to talk, and you are an idiot. If the two of them win or lose, it's not you who takes it all."
The soldier suddenly realized it and said, "Yes, I take it all." Then he put his hands together and hugged the hundreds of copper coins in front of him to his chest.
These soldiers screamed fiercely, but in fact they didn't have much money.
Whenever a reward is given to an army, the soldiers are lavish. But now that the war is about to begin, even if they still have some money, they have left it all to their families, and they only have three or five copper coins with them.
Even so, when some people saw this man taking so many copper coins, they immediately disowned him and started a quarrel.
But he saw that General Shi's expression suddenly changed and he said, "What's the fuss about? Why do you want General Yang to deal with it?"
When these soldiers heard about General Yang's reputation, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
Only then did Li Dachuan know for sure that this person was the deputy general who went out to the fortress this time, General Yang Hong's deputy Shi Heng.
Shi Heng was also considered a fierce general in Datong Town. Since he wanted to select elite soldiers and strong generals, Shi Heng and the cavalry from Shi Heng's headquarters were also transferred here.
Shi Heng paid no attention to him and took his nephew and Fan Guang away.
Shi Heng hugged Fan Guang affectionately and said, "Nephew Fan Xian, you are my nephew's classmate and one of my own, Shi Heng. If anything happens in the army, just report my name. My nephew is a He has a bad temper, but he just can't speak, but I know that he has always admired you very much. You must take care of each other in the future."
Seeing Shi Heng like this, Fan Guang didn't know how to refuse, or he couldn't refuse. Moreover, his relationship with Shi Biao in martial arts was not very good.
Because Shi Biao was very arrogant in martial arts and could be considered a tyrant, but he was tempered by Eunuch Liu and lost his temper. However, he still went his own way.
But the top three brought some classmates into the Qianqing Palace to serve as guards, and a group of them were distributed in various places. He and Shi Biao were assigned to the army that went out of the fortress this time.
Compared with the many twists and turns in the military, the relationships in martial arts are relatively simple.
Although Fan Guang looked down on Shi Biao at first, he now feels that although Shi Biao is a bastard, he can also be considered a martial arts bastard.
Moreover, Fan Guang relied on Lieutenant General Shi Heng in many places in the army, so he naturally said, "Uncle, you're welcome. We are all classmates, so we naturally have to look after each other."
Shi Heng said, "By the way, has brother Fan ever married?"
Fan Guang said, "I'm already married."
Shi Heng's face suddenly turned into a color that all men understand, and he said, "Yangzhou Shou Ma, Datong mother-in-law, today I will show my nephew to you."
