Chapter 25: Losing both
After the Qin and Han dynasties, in frequent wars, the sword was gradually replaced by other weapons, and swordsmanship formed two styles, one is the long spike sword, called the Wen sword, which is practiced to walk the dragon and snake, chic and elegant, and beautiful.
Another kind of short spike sword, called martial sword, its pace is flexible, the moves are changeable, the action is rapid, it is a practical swordsmanship; However, whether it is a long spike sword or a short spike sword, it is not as fierce as the sword, and the swordsmanship is always mixed with an elegant style, especially after it is the four treasures of the literati with the qin, chess, and calligraphy, it is called "the show of a hundred soldiers".
After the sword replaced the position of the sword, it was called "the commander of a hundred soldiers"; The big knife can be used for horse fighting, the waist knife can be used for foot fighting, and the simple knife and two-handed belt can be used for horse foot fighting. The knife technique pays attention to chopping, chopping, blocking, piercing, and wiping, and it is simpler than the marksmanship, which is easy for scholars to master; Therefore, among the generals and soldiers of the past dynasties, most of them were swordsmen.
Because the knife has gradually become the main battle weapon on the battlefield, the number of battlefield knife techniques is the same as the original battlefield sword technique, and it has also begun to embark on the road of opening and closing vigorously and refining.
The only difference is that the knife is congenitally more conducive to slashing, and the offense is also more calm and powerful than the swordsmanship!
The general used the famous ring head knife, which seems to be similar to the sword, but it is a thick back straight blade, this kind of cold weapon appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, in the hands of the Han army, the Hun cavalry had no power to fight back, known as the most domineering and most conducive to slashing at that time, and it was also the most lethal weapon!
Unlike the common broadswords in the future, the current knives are actually evolved from swords, which are called horizontal knives; The knife technique evolved from this kind of knife is more fierce and more domineering, and this kind of horizontal knife knife method is to divide a life-and-death victory and defeat within a few moves!
"Whew!"
Shao Bing exhaled lightly, moved forward with his right foot, bowed slightly, and changed his one-handed sword to two-handed sword.
Such a master, if he meets the enemy with light and delicate one-handed swordsmanship, he is afraid that he is looking for death, and if he is not careful, I am afraid that it will be a certain death, he will not expect the enemy to forgive him, and he will not entrust his life and death to the mercy of the enemy, he can only do his best to face the battle, nothing more than to break the force with force, and decide life and death!
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Fighting on the battlefield, what you fight is a boldness! He has no way out, and now he doesn't need to go back either!
"Drink!" Shao Bing burst into a shout, counterattacked, and the long sword in his hand crossed an arc, which was a sideways slash, followed by a horizontal cut, a whirlwind slash, and a vigorous downward slash, the core essence of the Wuji knife technique of the year was to live to death, if the enemy died, I would live, if the enemy did not die, then I died.
Fight is a brave, not so can not live, and go light and subtle one-handed swordsmanship is different, the core of two-handed swordsmanship is to fight against powerful enemies, those masters in the creation of this swordsmanship, take the road of 'death without life'!
If you want to kill an enemy head-on on the battlefield, don't you want to die if you have the strength to do so?
Compared with traditional martial arts, Wuji knife method is more simple and direct, more unpretentious, and there are not so many fancy and unfathomable, there is no name of sword moves, and it will not be called a direct stab called the immortal to guide the way, it is a simple trick, chop, whirlwind slash, sideways slash, horizontal slash, kung fu is dead kung fu, it is the kind of kung fu honed by the death force.
Shao Bing had also heard of those extremely exquisite swordsmanship, and he had even seen it, but he couldn't understand the mysterious sword theory, maybe this was talent, and he was still suitable for simple and easy-to-learn swordsmanship.
The gap between the sword and the knife at this time is not so big, and in appearance, if you look at it from a distance, you can't even distinguish it; The gap between swordsmanship and sword technique is naturally the same, of course, this refers to the Wuji sword technique used by Shao Bing.
This is a pure killing technique, not the kind of secret and rational kendo method, which has no corresponding method for cultivating the spirit and spirit, only tricks, but the lethality of this trick is not contemptuous of others!
In this era, the corresponding various martial arts are not so fancy, and the time when martial arts was really whitewashed was in the Tang and Song dynasties, when the literati and artists were the most coquettish, comfortable and idle.
From that era, the martial arts of Middle-earth became unfathomable, because the practice of martial arts began to be popularized accordingly, and various martial arts spread, colliding with the flowers of martial arts.
The bursting sparks, in the piercing collision of weapons, a gap was cracked on the long sword in Shao Bing's hand, and the enemy was also a sharp weapon in his hand!
Although there is an ambush, but their own side does not have an advantage, which Shao Bing sees very clearly, after all, there is indeed a gap between the two sides, and the numerical advantage is not enough to make up for the gap in quality.
Most of the Yellow Turbans were born in poverty, but most of the Han soldiers were born from good families, if they are quantified numerically, the Yellow Turbans are still some worse than the Han Army in terms of basic attributes, and Shao Bing's training in the past few days has not yet blossomed and borne fruit; Moreover, there is also a gap between the two sides in weapons, and in the era of cold weapons, there is also a gap in weapons.
At this moment, it can be seen that the Yellow Turbans have begun to fall into a bitter battle, if it continues to drag on like this, and another Han army passes by, then all the Yellow Turbans here will have to die!
He gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, his tricks changed again, and he used a killing move that hurt both defeats, how could this general of the Han army be willing to exchange his head with a yellow scarf, he just wanted to retreat at this time, but how could Shao Bing allow him to retreat, and exchange injuries for injuries.
Fighting to be cut on the left shoulder, the general of the Han army wanted to withdraw the knife, but this time the cut was very slight, Shao Bing endured the severe pain and stabbed out with a sword.
The general was horrified and anxious to draw his sword and retreat, in this era, any bleeding injury is fatal, ordinary people cannot have any understanding of the human body at all, and the medical skills of this era are still very rude.
But whenever he is injured, he basically has to rely on himself to survive, and he can't think of why his opponent would use this kind of lose-lose play! Instinctive uneasiness and fear made him want to retreat, because he had clearly sensed that the enemy in front of him wanted to die with him!
As soon as he retreated, his momentum began to weaken, and he wanted to draw his knife, but the blade of the knife was pressed on his shoulder by Shao Bing's hand at this time, and Shao Bing's sword at this time had already cut his chest when he was caught off guard!
This move is not in any swordsmanship at this time, I'm afraid that the swordsmanship of any family will not be recorded, but on the battlefield, it is very common, you live and die, do everything!
Waiting for Shao Bing to let go of the powerless sword on his shoulder, the Han general was no longer silent.
The injury on his shoulder is not serious, he has not been cut off the bones, he has internal strength in cultivation, he can restrain his own blood and qi, and seal the blood in his left shoulder, it is not a big deal, after a few days, this injury will naturally be healed, but this arm cannot be used for the time being in the past two days.
Shao Bing glanced around, then laughed a few times as if he was nervous, and then looked up to the sky and laughed!
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ha!!! ”
In the midst of this terrifying laughter, he looked around, and the Han soldiers retreated as if they had seen a ghost possessed by a god.
Even some cowardly people have thrown away the weapons in their hands, and they are so frightened that they turn around and flee, they will be the courage of the soldiers, the Han generals are already dead, and if the Han army does not have another backbone to stand up, the morale of the Han army at this time has collapsed.
Shao Bing looked around, learning from the previous Yu She, and at this time he looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Shao Bing is here!" Who dares to fight me! ”
After the life-and-death struggle, it was not weakness, but an even more terrifying madness, the battle intent in his whole body seemed to rise like a raging flame, and every cell in his body seemed to be longing for that life-and-death killing!
Those Han troops fled suddenly, and this battle naturally fell to the dust.
Perhaps the posture of the Shao soldiers after killing the Han generals was too majestic, and the Yellow Turban Army that was fighting couldn't help but stop, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers looked at the Shao soldiers standing on the battlefield in a daze, their eyes were full of fanaticism, worship and deep awe, they involuntarily gave up the pursuit of the Han army, gathered towards the Shao soldiers, and firmly protected the Shao soldiers.
"The yellow sky is above!"
A yellow turban wrestler was the first to come to Shao Bing's side, he took out a special yellow talisman from his body, unfolded it with two fingers, shook it with the wind, and recited a few words in a low voice, the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, he pulled out the water skin bag and stuffed the yellow talisman into it, and then directly poured it into Shao Bing's mouth one by one.
At this time, the eyes of the Yellow Turban wrestler in front of him showed a little convincing of Shao Bing, the strong are respected, even if Shao Bing was not a Yellow Turban before, now Shao Bing has subdued him with knowledge and strength.
Fu Shui contained a trace of mysterious power, Shao Bing's shoulders had a tingling feeling at this time, his eyes suddenly brightened a little, and then he sat down, and then he sat cross-legged, and sat up on this bloody battlefield, and the surrounding Yellow Turbans did not dare to disturb him at this moment, so they could only protect him from afar.
He only woke up after meditating for a stick of incense, and the wound on his shoulder had been healed in this short period of time, and the surface had already been scarred, Shao Bing got up and moved his body, but he knew that the injury had recovered.
The runic water that the Yellow Turban Lux poured into him not only allowed him to recover from his injuries, but also allowed his internal strength to enter the country again, at this time Shao Bing reviewed the battle just now, if he did it again, he would not have to use such a tragic way of fighting, and he would be able to stab this Han general to death if he took more than ten moves.
The harvest of martial arts still needs to be savored, and at this time he also needs to sort out his spoils, the corpses of the Han army have been groped, and no one dares to touch the general's corpse at this time.
That is the spoils that belong to him, according to the rules, the general's ornaments, weapons, armor, etc. belong to Shao Bing personally, and other people's trophies also need to be distributed by Shao Bing, and some small property belongs to him, Shao Bing looked at the Han general, first closed the general's eyes wide open, and then ordered someone to retrieve this person.
Retrieving the loot was naturally taken over by others, and it was quickly packed up and put the valuable things of this Han general in front of Shao Bing.
Shao Bing took a look, only took a jade ornament, and then picked up the ring-headed knife of this Han general, waved his hand and said: "You can deal with the other things, but leave him a decent face and bury it!" ”
The general came out to fight, and he only brought some bits and pieces of property with him, and money was actually useless to Shao Bing, but this ring-headed knife was very useful.
Hearing Shao Bing's order, several yellow turbans packed up their belongings first, in fact, when Shao Bing didn't pay attention, these subordinates had actually divided their duties, and the seizure of money and property was planned, and these money and property would not be privately divided.
The Han general's coat and armor were removed, and he was left with clothes to cover his body, and then buried it by the side of the road at will, which was already familiar, at this time, they were really convinced of Shao Bing, and they did not hesitate at all about his orders.
"Squeak!"
There was a noise from the other side of the village, but the gate opened automatically.
I saw an old man walk out of the door, followed by a few trembling people, one carrying a burden containing steamed buns, rice, pasta, a few cooked chickens, and a processed pig, and a few others came out with two jars of wine.
It was already noon, and although everyone was already hungry after a fight, they did not rush forward at this time, and they all looked at Shao Bing, waiting for his orders.
Shao Bing glanced at the village elder, and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a person who understands current affairs!" ”
Seeing that the elder ordered the others to put down the food in the burden, he walked quickly to Shao Bing, bowed down from afar, and sighed: "My people are all good people, and we have also relieved the local poverty in the year of the great famine, and I hope that this general will have mercy and spare the old and young women and children in the village." ”
The old man saw the power of Shao Bing before, that Han army is also famous around, that Han general has been brave since childhood, it is said that he can fight tigers and wolves, but he was killed by the Yellow Turban general in front of him, he naturally knew that the village could not resist such a strong man, he also ordered to prepare wine and meat food early, which was prepared for both sides, no matter which side, as long as it wins, this food is indispensable.
If the Han army wins, they still need to give some money, and if the yellow turban wins, then they will beg for mercy from the other party and let these yellow turbans let go of the old and young horses in the village, but if the yellow turban wins miserably, they will not let it be ravaged, I am afraid that they will fight to the death if they are in a hurry.
"Senior, please get up!" Shao Bing sighed, raised his hand to help the old man, and let an old man bow down to him, he was also quite unaccustomed to it, but this troubled world itself was a kind of sorrow, and the elder had to do it for the lives of the old and young people in the village.
Shao Bing waved his hand to signal the Yellow Turbans to accept rice, meat, wine, and food, and then said, "We only take some grain and grass, and we won't hurt people's lives." ”
Hearing Shao Bing's promise, the elder was grateful, and he wanted to bow down again, but he helped Shao Bing.
People in this era are very promise-oriented, and people who like to brag but despise cheap promises are difficult to move an inch in this era, and there is no collapse of etiquette and music in this era; Therefore, Shao Bing's words will definitely be fulfilled, otherwise even his subordinates Yellow Turban will look down on him as a person.
Soon, a few more people in the village came out with their burdens, but they were filled with bags of rice, and some wine and meat were also sent.
"You have one share of the wine and meat, and let them share the rest!" Shao Bing began to distribute at this time, and the yellow scarves were not completely distributed fairly, Shao Bing was divided according to rank at this time, and his subordinates were divided according to their strength at this time.
Different status, enjoy the treatment is naturally not the same, this is an era of respect and humility, other people actually have no objections, and are happily waiting for the wine to come over, the wine of this era is a luxury, mostly used for sacrifices, ancestors, ordinary people are rare to taste a few times in their lives.
Since he promised not to disturb the people again, Shao Bing waited to accept the contribution of the village, and after asking about the road, he ordered to leave.
If these Yellow Turbans really broke through the village, then it would not only be a matter of wine and meat, but also those old and weak women and children, but now they have escaped!
After walking for about an hour, they arrived at a dense forest, and after inquiring, Shao Bing ordered everyone to stop and rest, after all, this time with the Han army, they were also wounded, and they all needed to be bandaged and treated, in addition, everyone was waiting to eat meat and drink wine.
The yellow scarves with empty stomachs have long been waiting to distribute the food around the burden, one person has two steamed buns, a small piece of meat, a ball of rice, a little salt, and the wine is waiting to be divided after eating, no way, the bowl is too little, but this is also the best time they have eaten during this time.
Even in the former Yellow Turban Army camp, they may not have wine and meat to eat, people's desires may be unlimited, but they are very easy to satisfy, pigs in this era are generally thinner, a whole is at most one or two hundred catties, chicken was sent to Shao Bing alone, there is half a jar of wine, and a salted fish, and a few eggs.
Although the food has begun to be divided, everyone still has no intention of making a move, although they are also very hungry, and the rare abundance of meat in front of them seduces them with cravings, but at this time, everyone has understood discipline and humility.
Shao Bing already understood at a glance, he picked up the wine jar and poured a big sip, then handed it to the yellow turban wrestler beside him, and said, "I don't like wine, you can divide it."
He took the first bite, and the yellow scarves had no worries, and everyone opened their bellies to eat and drink.
At this time, people eat a lot of food, and the rice is eaten in large gulps, but the meat is only eaten by each person, and the wine is also a mouthful of wine, and they take turns to drink it, and no one will look at the roast chicken in front of Shao Bing at this time, although it is firmly placed in front of Shao Bing at this time!
This army has taken shape, although it seems to be simple, there is no military formation, there is no military soul, if it continues to grow over time, it may not be able to be famous all over the world!
