Chapter 169: The Former "Rival"?
So, under the supervision of Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui, everyone began to be tested to see if they were qualified to hold a gun.
It's just that the result is very sad, although Zhang Shun will ask for a lot of standards, but only thirty or forty people can pass, seeing Zhang Shun will issue the gun, there are losers who are unwilling to look at the remaining guns, and their eyes are full of greed.
"Isn't there anything left of the Black Tower, why don't you give the rest to everyone?"
No, a middle-aged man with a rickety back and a thin face immediately walked up and made his own request to Zhang Shun.
This time, the two brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui brought more than 300 guns, and only 10% of them were sent out.
"No, I can't. Zhang Shun shook his head and refused ruthlessly: "You didn't pass the test, you can't take the gun." ”
Zhang Lao looked a little distressed, and also stepped forward to persuade: "Is it really not good?" It was his eldest son who made the request, and his name was changed to Zhang Bao, because he liked wine when he was young, so his body was hollowed out, and when he was middle-aged, even his back couldn't support it.
"Not really. And Zhang Lao, you also saw Zhang Bao's appearance. With his virtue, where is the material for charging into battle?" Zhang Shun shook his head and refused directly.
Although only thirty or forty people were recruited in this village, Zhang Shun's goal was not only in this village, he also planned to use these guns as bait to attract young people from other villages to form an army that could really carry out combat missions.
Having been trained by the Huaxia Army, he knew quite well that a sparse but well-trained army was far more powerful than a group of rabble.
"But there's a gun, what's the big deal!"
Zhang Bao was a little lost, and his mouth was also broken, facing Zhang Shun and Zhang Bao, who not only had guns, but also the support of many villagers, he really couldn't muster the courage to fight.
Zhang Shun didn't notice Zhang Bao, now he is more concerned about the movements of the Yuan army, the news that he has annihilated this team is only afraid that it will spread soon, if the Yuan army comes by then, it will be a troublesome thing.
So he asked Zhang Lao, "Zhang Lao." Do you know where the third uncle is? I'm looking for something about him. ”
"Third uncle? Do you mean Zhang Fugui? He went to Liudian Village next door yesterday, saying that he was going to discuss a business. After Zhang Lao answered, his face couldn't help showing some doubts: "It's just that he said that he would come back at noon, why hasn't he come back now?"
"Noon?"
Zhang Shun felt a little nervous and looked up at the sun in the sky.
The sun was slightly tilted, and it was already obscured by the luxuriant trees, and it was obvious that it was already past noon.
Zhang Lao's eyes were blank, and he nodded and replied, "That's right! It's noon." As soon as he looked up, he saw that Zhang Shun jumped on the war horse, and there were more than a dozen cavalrymen behind him urging the war horse, rushing out from the entrance of the village, leaving only Zhang Gui and the rest of the people here to maintain order.
"Well, why did you leave all of a sudden?"
Zhang Lao was puzzled and didn't understand why Zhang Shun left suddenly.
At this time, Zhang Gui explained thoughtfully: "I should be worried about the third uncle." The third uncle is a trustworthy person, and when he says he will come back, he will come back when he comes. And he hasn't come back until now, I'm afraid something has happened. ”
"Something happened? He has nothing, what can he encounter?" Zhang Lao was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the situation.
It's just that Zhang Gui was worried and began to look forward to it: "I hope my brother can come back safely." "After all, Liujia Village is backed by Xiangyang, and its strength is quite large, and it is not something that their Liang Ying can deal with.
On the other side, Zhang Shun led a group of people to rush out of Liangying, and then ran along the avenue all the way to Liudian Village, and after running for about half an hour, he saw that at the end of the road, a person was running continuously, and behind him was a dozen or so men, these men were holding cold weapons such as spears and spears.
Because of the resistance to the Yuan army, the villages near here generally got some cold weapons such as knives and guns, and of course, there are still no weapons of mass destruction such as guns.
"That person, isn't it the third uncle?"
Zhang Shun had doubts in his heart, and hurriedly urged the war horse to run into the distance.
About a quarter of an hour later, he was only half a mile away from the man, and within this distance, it was enough for Zhang Shun to recognize the other party's face. At this time, the person at the front was probably physically exhausted, and he fell on the road like a rolling gourd with a plop. When the person chasing behind saw this person fall to the ground, he cheered, and his steps became faster and faster, trying to catch up with the person.
Zhang Shun looked at it fixedly, and immediately shouted: "It's the third uncle!"
Seeing that those people were about to catch Zhang Fugui, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately pulled out a spear from his waist and threw it at the people in the distance.
With a "duh", the spear was inserted in front of everyone, more than half a foot deep into the soil.
After half a year of training, Zhang Shun's skills have also improved, and it will not be as difficult to master the strength as before.
In the distance, those people saw the spear in front of them, they were all frightened and inexplicable, and they raised their heads one after another, only to see a dozen or so cavalry running in the distance, wearing a variety of armor, including the Huaxia army, the Song army, and the Yuan army, although the style is not very uniform, but the smell of blood on their bodies is memorable.
"Who are you, brother, and why did you stop us from arresting this person?"
From among the crowd, a young man with a sword walked out and bowed to Zhang Shun and the others.
Zhang Shun looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and complained: "Lao Liu." I've only been gone for half a year, so why don't you recognize me?" he said, lifting his helmet to reveal his face underneath.
"Is that you?"
Liu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't you run to Huaxiajun, why did you suddenly appear here?"
He is of the same generation as Zhang Shun and Zhang Guinai, and they often have contacts with each other in the past, so of course they are quite familiar.
"Hey. I didn't encounter something yet, so I came back. What is there to be surprised about. Zhang Shun then dealt with two sentences, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Fugui's body, and said, "By the way, what did my third uncle do to make you such a formation?"
Maybe Zhang Shun and Liu Zhong do have some connection, but in the past, because of the problem of competing for water sources, there was a big fight between the two of them.
Liu Zhong put away the long sword in his hand and replied, "It's nothing, it's just some trivial things, it's nothing!"
"In that case, I'll take the third uncle back?" Zhang Shun chuckled, and then let people dismount and help Zhang Fugui up.
Liu Zhong closed his head and replied, "Of course you can." Although the person behind him was a little resentful, he suppressed it and did not have a seizure.
"That's goodbye. Zhang Shun bowed his hand, and then took Zhang Fugui and left from here.
After everyone left, the people around Liu Zhong were dissatisfied and asked: "Young Master Liu, why did you let that Zhang Shun leave? Don't forget, that Zhang Fugui deceived us, saying that there is no shortage of food in Xiangyang, so it is better to sell it now? Hehe, if it weren't for Master Liu's reminder, we would just be afraid that we would fall for his tricks." Wouldn't it be cheaper for him to let this guy escape?"
"Idiot. ”
Liu Zhongxin waved his hand, walked away directly, and complained: "Have you seen that Zhang Shun's appearance? Full body armor, with weapons, and a wooden box on his back, if I expected it to be correct, I am afraid that the wooden box contains a gun." If we fight, do you think we can win?"
The man covered his face and continued to ask, "So what do we do now?"
"Go back. As for that Zhang Shun, my father will naturally deal with it, so we don't need to worry too much. Liu Zhong turned around, his gaze swept over Zhang Shun's figure in the distance, revealing a somewhat indescribable look.
For that Zhang Shun, he always felt that the other party seemed to have some strange changes.
