"It's so noisy outside early in the morning, or people are sleeping, really, I want to see who disturbed my dream!"
Li Tianba was very irritable, because he was woken up by the noisy shouts outside early in the morning, at this time Li Tianba had the urge to kill, and walked out of the room angrily without wearing clothes.
When he came to the Lin family's compound in front of him, he happened to see Li Zixiao's subordinates practicing in the morning, and even Li Zixiao was practicing knife skills under the guidance of quartz.
As for Qi Wei and Luo Chao, they had already woken up, and they rushed over to see this shocking scene, they were also martial arts practitioners, and they would also get up early for morning exercises.
However, they didn't get up so early, and they themselves were so strict with themselves, they didn't have this rule for their subordinates, who wanted to stay up early in the morning and get up for morning exercises!
Li Zixiao had already seen the arrival of Qi Wei and Luo Chao, nodded slightly to the two, and said hello, and then continued to fight against Quartz to train his martial arts.
"They seem to have been exercising for more than half an hour, which means that they have already started such morning exercises before dawn.
This kind of scene is really eye-opening for me, not to mention the bandits from all over the country now, that is, there are a few of the current Ming officers and soldiers who will come out for morning exercises. ”
Qi Wei and Luo Chao stood together, looking at the fiery training of Li Zixiao's subordinates in the compound, they couldn't help but feel enthusiastic and wanted to join them, while Lu Wen on the side said loudly.
"No wonder they are so distinctive, so disciplined, so hard trained, and with the wise leadership of their leaders, I seem to foresee the rise of a new army!"
Qi Wei was really touched at this time, he used to serve in the border army, but he swore that even the current training of the Ming border army was very lax.
Because the food and salary of the imperial court can not always be distributed on time, the soldiers must not be allowed to practice on a hungry stomach, and the armament is relaxed year by year, otherwise why will they be beaten by tens of thousands of Tartars outside the customs and can't raise their heads! 、
"If this person is not exterminated by the imperial court officials or Zhao'an in the next three years, he will inevitably grow into a large army of thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, or even more terrifying.
Because this Li Dangjia is more principled, knows how to gain the support of the people, and his subordinates are even more elite and strong, once he is strong, the imperial court wants to exterminate it, unless it pays ten times or a hundred times the price. ”
Qi Wei, who was tied to Luo Chao, also spoke highly of Li Zixiao and his subordinates, although he didn't like Li Zixiao's bandit identity.
But he had to admit that Li Zixiao's pole was indeed very different from other previous poles, and even more like an official army than those court officials and soldiers, which undoubtedly made him see Li Zixiao's terrifying potential in the future.
Li Tianba was originally very angry when he was disturbed by someone, but the scene of more than 300 people training in front of him also shocked him, and his face was curious, letting him know who woke him up.
At this time, of course, he wouldn't be stupid and shout who he was going to clean up, and he happened to see his eldest brother in front, so he walked up to Qi Wei and stood.
"Tianba, why did you wake up so early today!" Qi Wei saw Li Tianba coming over and joked with a smile.
"It's not like I've been woken up by these guys, I don't sleep early in the morning, and I'm tossing around outside." Li Tianba glanced at Li Zixiao and said dissatisfied.
"Tianba, haven't you been clamoring to fight with that ugly man under Li Dangjia, do you think you are almost sure that you can defeat him."
"Let's open it in five or five, I tested the ugly man that day, his strength is very strong, he is not under me, he really wants to distinguish the winner from the loser, after all, he will only know after he has made a move."
As soon as he talked about fighting, Li Tianba suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly.
"Yes, five or five open, then I can tell you clearly now, Tianba, after three years, no, not three years, at most two years, you will no longer be his opponent."
Qi Wei looked sideways at Li Tianba and said seriously.
"No way, how can I lose in two years!" Li Tianba said with a look of disbelief.
"The reason is here, you are born with divine power, but you are a little lazy, you look at others, the same martial arts are extraordinary, but you still persevere, every morning exercise.
And you, who sleep until the sun rises every morning and don't wake up, don't you understand why I say that you will lose in two years? ”
Qi Wei pointed to the training scene of Li Zixiao's men not far away, and said to Li Tianba.
Although Li Tianba was stupid, he was not stupid, he was suddenly a little ashamed, lowered his head and said: "Who knew that these guys would work so hard, I didn't see anyone get up early in the morning to train when I was in the border army before, it's really hell." ”
Seeing that Li Tianba lowered his head by what he said, Qi Wei also knew that Li Tianba also realized his shortcomings, and then looked at Li Zixiao's side, sighed and said, "Someone taught me a good lesson today."
This is what a real strong soldier should look like, the encounter some time ago, consumed my will, made me a little unenterprising, today I saw the way of Li Dangjia's army, let me be enlightened. ”
"Tianba, go and kick down the group of lazy people who are still sleeping, and from now on, we will also have morning exercises every morning.
If you don't practice martial arts for a day, it is easy to be wasted, and as a soldier, you must exercise your physique and not slack off in the slightest. After Qi Wei finished sighing, he ordered loudly to Li Tianba beside him.
"Yes, big brother."
Li Tianba also stared at Quartz with a look of war at this time, and then turned around and ran back to the courtyard where his brothers were sleeping, and then lifted the quilt and kicked up the unlucky guys one by one.
For a while, cursing and shouting sounded, but Li Tianba didn't care about this, and directly issued Qi Wei's order, and it took a long time for Qi Wei's subordinates to put on their clothes and walk out.
As soon as they arrived at the Lin family's compound in front, they were also frightened by the scene of hundreds of people exercising in front of them, and even Qi Wei and Luo Chao were out at this time.
Qi Wei was talking to Li Zixiao about something, while Luo Chao found a new opponent, and was learning marksmanship with Liu Chong.
After Qi Wei saw Li Tianba bring all his men, he shouted: "Tianba, lead them outside to run two laps before coming back, warm up and then exercise in the morning." ”
So, under the infection of Li Zixiao, Qi Wei's people were also pulled into this morning exercise army.
"One-two-one, thorn!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Sword and shield soldiers, raise shields, defend on both wings, slash!"
Wei Hong and Zhou Dazhu were directing the coordinated attack of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, the pikemen lined up in a neat queue, the pace was uniform, the accurate spurs, the spears were like a forest, and they looked terrifying.
Zhou Dazhu dispatched his sword and shield soldiers to block the pikemen's money at any time, raised their shields to block the pikemen, and at the same time transferred them back to the pikemen at any time to defend on both flanks to avoid being broken through by the enemy from both flanks.
"The queue is very neat, it looks very good, but it's a pity that it's useless, and you still have to rely on your real skills when you go to the battlefield." Qi Wei looked at the training of Li Zixiao's subordinates, shook his head and said.
Although Li Zixiao led his subordinates to easily defeat the one-eyed dragon with this spear array yesterday, to be honest, Qi Wei didn't think that this spear array was so powerful.
He attaches more importance to the quality of individual soldiers, and is not optimistic about this tactic of hugging together, after all, this tactic has never been used in China.
"Oh? Brother Qi is not optimistic about this spear formation of mine? Yes, this spear formation has great limitations, but it also has advantages, and it is the most suitable tactic for us at the moment.
Well, why don't we have a skirmish this morning? Li Zixiao suddenly boldly proposed to Qi Wei.
"Oh? If Li Dangjia has any proposals, let's hear it. "Soldiers like to be competitive, and when Qi Wei heard that Li Zixiao seemed to be competing with him, he immediately became interested.
"Since Brother Qi is all good at one enemy and ten, why don't we send thirty people each to have a small-scale infantry field battle, and finally see which side can win?"
"Okay!" Qi Wei thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
Although Li Zixiao proposed infantry field warfare, Qi Wei was absolutely confident in his subordinates, and his thirty or so subordinates were elite cavalry on horseback, and they were used as infantry when they dismounted.
"Okay, I'll have someone improve the weapon so that we can use it in a demonstration match." Li Zixiao also wanted Qi Wei to see their true strength, otherwise they would always look down on him, who made him a bandit.
Li Zixiao ordered that all the spear heads be removed, wrapped in a white cloth, and sprinkled with white ash, so that as long as the spear head pokes the vital part of the opponent's body, leaving white spots, it will be considered a death in battle.
The long knives were all replaced with wooden ones, and when Li Zixiao and Qi Wei's subordinates heard that they were going to fight each other, they were all in high mood and signed up one after another.
Qi Wei's side is better, after all, there are thirty-two people, almost all of whom participated, while Li Zixiao's side has more than three hundred people, and only one-tenth of them can join.
In the end, Li Zixiao selected a total of twenty spearmen under Wei Hong's two captains, and ten sword and shield soldiers under Zhou Dazhu's team, forming their formation this time.
Soon, the two sides were in the Lin family's compound as a battlefield, and the two sides collided head-on.
Qi Wei's subordinates chose wooden knives and guns, painted them with white ash, and looked at Li Zixiao with contempt on his side, where the spearmen had already lined up in a neat line, and the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields to protect them.
Both sides are holding their breath and want to win this match, which involves the face of the bosses of both sides, these soldiers also like to be competitive, they all like to be first, and no one wants to be a loser.
This time, Qi Wei and Li Zixiao were all in charge, but they would not participate in the battle, and a flag bearer holding a red and green flag appeared beside Li Zixiao, as well as a trumpeter.
With the mutual consent of Qi Wei and Li Zixiao, they elected Luo Chao as the referee of both sides of the battle, deciding who was injured, seriously injured, and killed on the field, and which side won the battle in the end.
"The battle begins!"
With someone shouting, the contest between the two sides officially began.
"Battlefront Forward!"
As soon as the battle began, Li Zixiao issued an order, and the rest of how to command and deploy pikemen needed Wei Hong's personal command.
Li Zixiao only gave a general order, just like a big ship, he was the captain and controlled the direction of the big ship, and how to distribute the work of the sailors below was the task of Wei Hong, the leaders.
"Line up, pay attention to the formation, the spears are flat, forward, one-two-one, one-two-one!" Wei Hong personally stood in the second column of pikemen with a spear, and commanded his pikemen to shout.
He had to go into battle himself, which would boost the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time he could not stay in the first captain of the spearmen, who had the highest casualty rate.
And Zhou Dazhu led the sword and shield soldiers to bend down to them and form a shield wall for them, such a formation is decent, which is convenient for the defense of the sword and shield soldiers, and can also give full play to the maximum advantage of the pikemen.
And Qi Wei's side also excluded thirty people from playing, he didn't let Li Tianba play, this guy has too much strength, even if he is given a wooden stick, it is estimated that he can easily smash people.
However, Qi Wei didn't allow this guy to go into battle, and he was not idle, so he took the initiative to find the quartz on Li Zixiao's side, and he had to pull the quartz to learn martial arts.
After getting Li Zixiao's nod of agreement, Quartz directly agreed, for masters like them, learning from each other is beneficial to the improvement of each other's martial arts.
Li Tianba's weapon used a pair of large iron hammers, and quartz was a large iron rod, sure enough, these fierce generals used and had to be heavier, and most of them were blunt weapons, and the main way to fight was to smash.
Qi Wei doesn't need so many slogans here, they have gone through many life-and-death battles with each other, and they have long cooperated with each other tacitly, and they understand each other's meaning with one look and action.
More than thirty Qi Wei's subordinates were separated from each other at just the right distance, they could support each other, cooperate with each other, and also kill towards Wei Hong's side.
The two sides quickly collided together, and it was only at this time that Qi Wei realized the horror of this spear formation, if he wanted to break through this spear formation head-on, unless there was a cavalry charge or a dense attack with bows and arrows, everything else would be in vain.
The spears were like a forest, and Qi Wei's men rushed to the queue of Li Zixiao's men, only to find that there was no way to get them close to the pikemen's bodies.
"Spear thrust, stab!"
"Kill! Kill! ”
Hearing Qi Wei's men approaching the front of their team, Wei Hong shouted, and the front row suddenly roared, and stabbed forward fiercely with his spear.
It was a four-meter-long long spear, and it stabbed forward with a brush, the scene was indeed shocking, Qi Wei's subordinates suddenly did not dare to approach the spear formation easily, and the province was stabbed so easily and exited.
Qi Wei's subordinates were also divided into some holding shields and knives, and some holding spears, they did not form a fixed formation, but they did not look disorganized.
The advantage of their confrontation like this is that they have strong mobility and flexibility, and Li Zixiao has a lot on his side, and he can easily wander around and look for the enemy's flaws.
Qi Wei's men approached the spear formation, and after trying several times to no avail, they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, because they found that the longest spear in their hands couldn't attack Li Zixiao's side.
On the contrary, Li Zixiao's special spear with a length of nearly four meters could easily stab them, and after rushing twice and injuring two people, they retreated decisively.
If a frontal assault can't be done, then just outflank Gao and attack the two flanks of Li Zixiao's pikemen, trying to disrupt the array of spears on this side and provide them with an opportunity to get closer.
