Weida hesitated and looked at Xie Yun and Zhou Lie. He didn't move.
Zhou Lie shook his head and smiled and said, "Brother Wei Da, what's the matter? In front of the general, isn't it very bold? The general said, men, bragging is the only way to show your true colors. Man. Come on, let's compete, how about?"
Wei Da glanced at Qin Meng, snorted softly, untied his waist knife, and walked towards Zhou Lie.
Although Zhou Lie smiled repeatedly on his face, he was also careful. Judging from the steps that Weida took, the tigers and tigers were born, and the sense of power reflected by the range of movements was beyond ordinary people.
Without any shouts to cheer himself up, Wei Daqi approached Zhou Lie and lifted his leg to sweep Zhou Lie's ribs.
Zhou Lie wanted to catch the opponent's leg with his hand. Then he pulled it down.
But I don't want to hit the opponent's leg with his hand, and feel that the strength of the opponent's leg is more than a hundred catties!
Zhou Lie was shocked. Fortunately, he had experienced a lot of battles and reacted quickly. He immediately moved up and withdrew, like this. He took off most of the strength of the opponent's leg.
That's the case, Zhou Lie also retreated a few steps to the side.
Zhou Lie didn't dare to be underestimated anymore, so he opened his posture and fought with Wei Da.
The two fought against Lily, unable to distinguish between high and low, Zhou Lie yelled again and again, but Wei Da didn't say a word. He really responded to the harsh words.
Xie Yun came to Qin Meng's side and whispered: "The martial arts, not under Zhou Lie, may be hurt by fighting like this."
Qin Meng nodded: "Separate them."
Xie Yun turned his hand and shouted: "The sir has an order. This is the end of the martial arts contest, please leave soon!"
After speaking, Xie Yun rushed towards the two of them.
Both of them heard the order, and saw Xie Yun stepping in between the two of them, and quickly closed his hands and jumped out of the circle.
Seeing sweat on his forehead, Zhou Lie pointed his big finger at Wei Da: "Brother, good means."
After all, he and Xie Yun walked to Qin Meng's side and stood cross-handed.
Wei Da silently picked up his waist knife and fastened it, and bowed his hand in front of Qin Meng.
"Come here, drag Wei Da down and give this general twenty lashes." Qin Meng ordered with full official accent.
Everyone, including Zhou Lie and Xie Yun, was puzzled. Wei Da's skill was exactly the manpower the general needed. How could he punish him with a whip
When Sun Mao waved his hand, the two soldiers came over like wolves and tigers, and grabbed Wei Da's arms.
Regardless of Wei Da's high martial arts, but in front of the soldiers who represented the military law, he did not dare to resist at all.
Zhou Lie couldn't help it finally: "General, Zhou Lie has something to say."
Qin Meng snorted softly, "Say if you have something to say, then let it go."
"General, then Wei Da competed with the humble position, and did not lose the wind. The agreement between the general and Wei Da was to win the reward and lose the fight. Since he did not lose, hitting him would be, it would be..."
"It's too unjust, isn't it?" Qin Meng said, coldly sweeping toward everyone in the court.
"Wei Dawuyi and Zhou Lie are unbeatable, neither winning nor winning, no reward or punishment. This general beat him because he questioned the promise of this general. Everyone is a leader, your subordinates, What if you question your promise? If you dare to question your promise, you dare to despise the military order! This general beat him for this reason!"
After that, Qin Meng walked sideways in front of Wei Da and said coldly: "Do you dare to question this general. Hit you, is it okay? You remember these twenty whips. If you find out that this general favors one another, you Wei Da and Zhou Lie also cut off two enemy heads, but they took less money than Zhou Lie. You can draw these twenty whips back to this general!"
Wei Da was still suffocating his neck, but when Qin Meng said so, he felt soft.
No matter what, pay attention to a word of reason, if you are not convinced that it is reasonable, then you have no reason.
Qin Meng turned his hand back and his head tilted: "Execution!"
The soldiers dragged Wei Da down and hit twenty lashes firmly.
When Wei Da came back, Qin Meng said, "Today's contest, the result has come out. This general has selected Zhou Lie and Xie Yun as Jianzu chiefs, is it okay?"
This is an open and transparent selection, so naturally everyone has nothing to say.
Qin Meng pointed at Wei Da, and said to Zhou Lie: "This, you take it first. As your deputy, take care of it. Don't question your boss at every turn! If there is such behavior next time, I will pump you together. !"
"Obviously!" Zhou Lie was very happy, with Wei Da such a powerful deputy in martial arts, that would be just as powerful as a tiger. He pulled Wei Da to his side, and smiled and whispered: "Brother, the general is just such a bad temper! But it's very good for brothers. Let's eat in one pot, what kind of superiors and superiors, let’s discuss it. what."
Qin Meng said softly: "It's the New Year, Sun Mao, distribute all kinds of New Year's items and tell the big guys, everyone has a part in the New Year meal, but after the New Year, it is a cruel preparation for selection. If you have the ability, it's delicious, and those who don't have the ability, just watch your eyes and go."
"In addition. Brothers who have not been selected, don't be discouraged by this, you can prove yourself in killing the enemy. If you can kill the enemy more than the good soldier in the selection, in addition to the reward promised by this general, you have not selected before Let’s make up for Cheng Jianzu’s price difference!"
"Xie Yun, Zhou Lie, and that... Wei Da, how to select your subordinates, how to train, that is your business, I don't care about it. When the Turkic people come, I will look at you and trust you so much. You give Laozi What kind of soldier to bring out! If I am dissatisfied, I just chop off my head, so I won't be upset!"
After being scolded by scolding, the whole army still had a happy new year.
Compared to the past with only meat and wine, this year's snacks, preserves, seasonal fruits and vegetables have left a deep impression on everyone.
By the third day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the entire barracks suddenly changed.
The extremely lively selection of young soldiers has begun.
Xie Yun has priority, and only after he finishes his selection can it be Zhou Lie and Wei Da's turn.
However, Xie Yun didn't need a lot of manpower, only three hundred, and it was quickly completed.
Zhou Lie and Wei Da are the highlight here.
After the two discussed, they felt like Qin Meng's, everything was on the bright side, and just following the standard was the only way to convince everyone, and it was an effective method.
The officers and soldiers were tossing about the selection there. Qin Meng seemed to let go, but his business. On the contrary, more and more.
To equip Jianqi with a new type of sword is what makes Qin Meng worry the most.
Qin Meng knew that the new year would be an extremely crazy year for the Turks to go south. In the historical records of later generations, the results of the Turks’ battle this year were lost to the six counties including Wuwei. Its momentum is simply unstoppable.
Xiping is closely connected to Wuwei and will inevitably be affected.
At that time, Xiping will have to face countless Turkic troops.
The tortoise defense alone is definitely not enough to keep Xiping, and the only way out is to defeat the enemy's edge, supplemented by the tortoise defense. It is the hope that holds Xiping.
But is it such an easy thing to frustrate the enemy's edge
Comparing the number of cavalry with the opponent, the difference is not a level. The only hope that can fight against the opponent is the generation gap in the weapon.
Qin Meng had to go to the blacksmith team at least twice a day.
Because the operation is becoming more and more skillful, the speed of creating a new type of sword is also faster.
But even so, on average, there are four matches per day.
Qin Meng didn't worry too much, but he had to comfort the brothers of the blacksmith team. Don't worry, build slowly, and ensure the quality.
Supervising the blacksmith team is only a daily part of Qin Meng, and he has to make all preparations for the upcoming fierce battle.
Regardless of the age, the use of military force in marching is just a logistics.
Qin Meng ordered Qi Yuan to spend all the money in his hand and exchange it for food and cloth, such as edible and usable things.
Don’t tell me if you spend the money, as long as you can owe the supplies, don’t care what it is, just pull it back.
Jianqi and Jianzuo are all training desperately in the ice and snow, and the remaining ones that are eliminated are also divided into two parts, one of which is capable of fighting. Sun Mao unified dispatch and strengthened urban defense training.
The other part is indeed due to age and other reasons. Qin Meng unified command and ordered the Xiping County Guard to mobilize migrant workers and strengthen the fortifications.
In ancient times, starting work in winter was not an easy task. For this reason, Yao De, the guardian of Xiping County, also specifically consulted with Qin Meng to discuss whether he could use civilian power until the beginning of spring.
Qin Meng was unmoved, the sky was cold, and of course he couldn't break the ground. But it can be filled with sandbags and placed in designated locations according to the Xiping city wall building.
Nothing can be compared with combat readiness. Therefore, a lot of unpleasant things happened between Yao De and Qin Meng.
Qin Meng was so busy that he forgot the time, but the weather gradually warmed, but he told Qin Meng that the time was almost up.
Jianqi's new sword is enough for everyone.
When Zhou Lie was arguing that the Jianzuo camp had to be equipped with such a war knife, Qin Meng suddenly asked the blacksmith team to stop building a new type of war knife and instead build a piercing arrow.
Qin Meng was impressed by Turkic's heavy cavalry during the Zhou Pan First Battle. In the end, it was a brother whose life was almost twice that of the enemy, in exchange for a tragic victory.
The arrows of ordinary weapons can't penetrate the thick armor of the Turkic Heavy Cavalry, so the Turkic Heavy Cavalry can basically not shake it at all.
Although the new type of sword can destroy heavy armor, it does not have special protection for a strong rider. It hurts the enemy a thousand, not necessarily self-inflicting 800, and it is also an unbearable pain for Qin Meng.
Simply, it specifically creates a through heavy armor arrow to deal with the Turkic heavy ride.
The craftsmanship of this kind of penetrating arrow is the same as that of the new sword. It is made into steel and forged repeatedly to increase its strength and polish it well. As long as it has enough bow power to kill heavy armor, it is not a problem.
Good things need time to accumulate.
The blacksmith team has craftsmanship and incentive mechanisms, but its daily output is less than 100 pieces.
If calculated on the basis of normal engagement usage, such a capacity would be a joke. A medium-sized contact battle would cost tens of thousands of arrows. The blacksmiths produced this stuff, not enough for a few rounds of volleys. (End of this chapter)
