Chapter 172 Big Sword and Spear (2)
"Captain, Dazhuang is embarrassing you." Hu Dazhuang didn't argue without arguing when he saw Liu Lang coming in person, and said dejectedly with his head down.
He also knew in his heart that if Cai Dadao was slashing down with one sword when he retreated just now, because the spear was too long and he had no time to take it back, he would probably not be able to avoid it.
It’s just that as a veteran, he is not allowed to admit defeat so simply.
"Captain, you are here. The brothers are training the basic skills of bayonets. You are here to guide and guide." Several new company commanders have not known which corner they have come from now and said hello to Liu Lang with a shy face.
One of them was one of the six remaining soldiers led by Liu Lang at the time, named Ling Hong. Although he had no outstanding personal status, he was not as good as Zhao Ergou in terms of cunning and could not compare with Liu Dazhu in terms of single soldiers, but this guy was the most educated among the few remaining soldiers. He had attended a school for a few years and was quite graduated from elementary school. However, if such an elementary school graduate was placed among the more than two thousand big-headed soldiers, he would be arrogant. Therefore, he was also a platoon of Liu Lang's platoon as the company commander of the recruit company. If he had been well in the recruit battalion in the past three months, he would have been basically selected as a lieutenant.
Judging from the past two months, Ling Hong has done a good job.
Otherwise, he knew that everyone was talking nonsense now, but he still dared to say that he was training with a shame.
Liu Langheng and Ling Hong looked at him and sneered, "Okay! Then tell me whether you are staging horses or practicing raising guns? The son of the turtle, I squeezed into sweat and saw you, Lieutenant Ling, okay?"
"Hehe, team leader, look at what you said, who doesn't know your kung fu? Who can squeeze you!" Ling Hong followed Liu Lang for a long time, knew Liu Lang's temper, and continued to say with a shy face.
When Liu Lang was really angry, the air was cold, but how hot it was like now?
The other two new recruit company commanders looked at Ling Hong with envy. This is the direct line. If they were not afraid to be so nonsense with the fat team leader. Fortunately, Liu Lang has always treated him equally. The first six remaining soldiers who followed him were still two of them who did not regard him as new recruit company commanders? Now he is digging tunnels with a group of veterans on the mountain!
Liu Lang ignored Ling Hong and said to Hu Dazhuang with a red face: "Don't be discouraged. Your failure is not because of your incompetence in stinging skills. Cai Dadao has been practicing sword skills for more than ten years and is really a good player. Even a veteran of the Black Hawk Army, the ending will be the same in front of him."
Comforting Hu Dazhuang with a shameful face, Liu Lang looked at Cai Dadao.
"Hello, sir!" Cai Dadao quickly dropped the wooden stick in his hand and trotted over to Liu Lang and gave a regular military salute.
"Cai Dadao, you are very good." Liu Lang also gave a military salute, and the expression on his face was a bit obscure and difficult to understand.
"Sir, I..." Cai Dadao was already a little nervous and felt a little more uneasy, and wanted to explain his original intention to Liu Lang.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I mean your swordsmanship is really good, not much like the swordsmanship of traditional sects, but it has a bit of practical training." Liu Lang said.
"Sir, you are so amazing. My grandfather was captured by beard in the north before. He practiced a few moves with an old martial artist. There were many beasts in the mountains. My grandfather passed it to me, and the old man taught me again." Cai Dadao's eyes widened and he explained to Liu Lang in surprise.
Although I didn't understand the words very clearly, I actually told Liu Lang that the sword technique he passed down from this family was indeed learned in the bandit's nest. What about bandits? Wasn't that day a practical battle?
OK, this family not only has inherited sword skills, but also can be inherited when entering the bandit's nest. Liu Lang smiled secretly and didn't point it out. After decades, everyone naturally called for the bandits to beat them, but in this year when warlords were fighting for war, bandits were really not a new term for the common people. The common people who were unable to survive by all kinds of tycoons and taxes could only rob them.
If the kingdom was successful enough to defend the enemy outside and nourish the people's livelihood inside, I think there would be nothing else to do in the Principality later. Unfortunately, the kingdom representing the comprador class, including the king himself, may have to do this even if he could predict the future, because the part of the people they represented would always account for only a small group of the 40 million kingdom people, which no one could change.
The north of Cai Dadao mentioned are several states in the northwest of Qiutongzhou, where the climate and environment are harsh and the conditions are even worse. People say that poor mountains and rivers are bad, but they are really not nonsense. Since the early years of the kingdom, bandits have spread in the northwest states. During the reign of the kingdom, there were 100,000 bandits in Fuhongzhou alone, and there were tens of thousands of bandits in the other two states.
Otherwise, there would be more than 500 armed guards like the Gou family. This behavior of owning private troops was actually acquiesced during the Kingdom period. It was because the bandits were too huge and the Kingdom was unable to eliminate them at all.
The people in the northwest are strong and their swordsmanship are mostly direct and rough. They are not as fancy as most of the martial arts of the kingdom, but they are extremely suitable for fighting on the battlefield.
However, Liu Lang did not intend to let the Independent Regiment learn from the Northwest Army. The whole army carried a big sword and fought against the Black Hawk Army. The reason was very simple. First, the source of the Independent Regiment's soldiers was different from that of the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army was taller than the people of Tongzhou; second, the Northwest Army had been hard for several years to have this skill. The Independent Regiment was about to go north in half a year, and it was too late; third, the most important thing was that a big sword weighed at least three or four pounds. With this weight, soldiers might as well carry 200 bullets and two grenades. The damage to the Black Hawk Army was much greater than the effect of the cold weapon big sword.
"Your swordsmanship is good, but your idea is wrong." Liu Lang shook his head and said directly.
"But Squad Leader Hu is not my opponent." Although he was very nervous about disobeying the Chief, Cai Dadao was undoubtedly a serious person.
In fact, the same is true. If he had a big knife in his hand, it would be no problem to kill several enemies.
"Okay, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Let's do a test to see if your big knife is powerful or your bayonet is powerful." Liu Lang did not have a cold face, but laughed.
