Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 125 No.19 Layer of Hell

Whoosh!
The third arrow was shot, and this arrow was finally nailed to the target in a satisfactory manner, but it was still too far away, and it was still more than a foot away from the bull's-eye.It's just that no one can laugh now, because everyone saw that cicadas that were only a little bigger than arrowheads were nailed to the target!Everyone looked at Xue Siming in awe, their teeth hissed, and they kept sucking in the cool air.They have heard too many stories about the archer, and only when they saw the archer did they really understand how terrifying a archer is!
Xue Siming put down his strong bow, and said dissatisfiedly: "This bow is still a little soft, and it hasn't shown its true strength."

Xu Gong almost spat out a mouthful of blood.It's so scary if you don't show your true strength. If you can play [-]% of your level, then it's okay?Dude, leave a way for others to survive!He still doesn't know that there are as many bandits and bandits in Tongbai Mountain, and Tongbai Hundred Households are often attacked, but after Xue Siming came to Tongbai Hundred Households, no bandits dared to trouble them again, and there was no one-handed one-hundred-step archery. , Can you suppress those stubborn bandits?
Yang Menglong slapped Xue Siming on the shoulder and laughed: "You said that your genealogy can be traced back to Xue Rengui. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. With your archery skills alone, you are qualified to be Xue Rengui's descendant. !" Proudly asked Qi Hu: "How is it, is it a good material?"

Qi Hu's eyes shone brightly and he said: "That's right, that's right! With this ability, it won't be a problem to be a hundred-man general!"

Yang Menglong said: "Okay, just a hundred generals."

Xue Siming was overjoyed, a hundred generals are also a hundred households, which sounds the same as before, but here a hundred households are in charge of more than 100 fierce soldiers, while in Tongbai, a hundred households are in charge of half-dead military households. huge difference!He cupped his hands and was about to bow down, but Yang Menglong stopped him: "Don't worry, this hundred households are not so easy to take care of!"

Xue Siming looked sharply and said loudly: "Please give me some advice, general!"

Yang Menglong said: "Your ability is enough, but you don't understand our soldiers' training methods, let alone our military discipline, equipment, and morale, and these are all things that an officer must understand. So, you should be a soldier first. A small soldier, train with everyone, and when you are familiar with all of this, you will become a hundred." Pointing to the neatly organized troops, "There are more than a dozen centurions here, after you get familiar with the situation, which one do you like? Choose randomly from one team, and beat anyone who is not convinced!"

Xue Siming licked his lips: "I understand!" He made up his mind, and he must observe carefully when he turns around to see which centurion is the most elite, and after he is qualified, he will take over the role of captain.

Those captains obviously knew what he was thinking, and he felt bad all over.

Yang Menglong said: "Okay, you first register with the old man, apply for military status, and then receive equipment and start training. I have something to say first. Although you are very capable, if you dare to bully the weak in the military camp, or disrespect Mr. Qi, I will definitely I can’t spare you!”

Xue Siming hurriedly said: "You must abide by military discipline and be a proper soldier!"

Yang Menglong said: "You can't be too serious. If you are too serious, you will become a waste. I live in a thousand-household house, which is only a few miles away from here. If you have any problems, come to me. If I can help, I will definitely help." .” After speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Gong hurriedly followed, Xue Siming called: "Master Xu, your bow!" He didn't forget that he still held Xu Gong's strong bow in his hand.

Xu Gong didn't turn his head back, and said: "This bow is given to you. I don't have enough physical strength, so it's a waste to keep it. I will come to worship you as a teacher another day and learn archery. You can't hide it!"

Xue Siming was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, thank you, Mr. Xu!" He found out clearly that Xu Gong was the first to know Yang Menglong. He fought side by side with Yang Menglong in the dark forest, annihilated Jiannu Rangers, and saved Yang Menglong's life. For this he almost took his own life.Yang Menglong is a nostalgic person, so naturally he will not forget the grace of saving his life. Although Xu Gong is not an official yet, it does not affect his status, and there is nothing wrong with building a good relationship with him.

I shot three arrows, made a big splash in front of Yang Menglong, and got a strong bow. I really made a lot of money today...

Qi Hu didn't say much, and let the troops start training.The sun is about to go down, and the weather is getting cooler, which is just right for training.He shouted the password with his hands behind his back, and more than 1000 people shouted in unison. Hearing the order, they moved.The pikemen always practiced the same trick: collapse, stab!Break open the opponent's weapon and stab straight to the throat with a single shot. It is concise, ruthless, fast and accurate. Hundreds of long spears are stabbed at the same time. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you will only be stabbed into a funnel.The horizontal knife soldiers practiced and practiced, and there were only a few moves, blocking, chopping, and doing it in one go, without fancy tricks, simple and practical, and then equipped with a horizontal knife that cuts iron like mud. I'm afraid there are already dead bodies all over the place.Qi Hu explained to Xue Siming: "This is General Xiao Yang's Eight Swords. It is easy to learn and practical. The knife goes straight to the vital point. It is tailor-made for us fighters!"

Xue Siming was quite surprised: "He can also create his own sword technique!?"

Qi Hu nodded affirmatively.If Yang Menglong was present, his face would definitely be as red as a monkey's butt... The conscience of heaven and earth, he did not create the eight swords at all.

Xue Siming didn't know that guy was cheating. He concentrated on watching the army training, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became.He is still very confident in his own ability, and it is not a problem to fight against dozens of people, but he dares to conclude that if he dares to break into the spear formation or stand in front of the swordsman, within 20 seconds, he will become A pile of minced meat!This is the power of the army. No matter how powerful the knights are, they will have no choice but to flee when they meet a well-trained and disciplined army.

After watching for a while, Qi Hu took Xue Siming to apply for military registration. He liked this young man who could walk through Yang with a hundred steps, and he wanted to train him to be an excellent general, so he personally applied for military registration for him.Unlike in other places, Xue Siming has to sign a contract after completing his military registration, which stipulates the number of years of his service, the obligations he should perform during his service, and the benefits he deserves, as well as the compensation he should receive if both parties violate the contract. What kind of punishment, this is probably Yang Menglong's characteristic, he has to sign a contract for everything, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't sign the contract.

After signing the contract, you can receive the equipment.The equipment is very simple, two sets of brand-new mandarin duck jackets, two pairs of shoes, a washbasin, a lunch box, a bedding and a mosquito net, as well as a horizontal knife and a dog-leg knife.Xue Siming was most interested in weapons. As soon as he received them, he couldn't wait to pull them out and look at them. The result was just as Yang Menglong said, the horizontal knives used by ordinary soldiers also had a cold light and cut iron like mud.The handle, scabbard, and blade were without any decorations. They were simple and unpretentious, but they had a terrifying murderous aura that made people feel chilled.The dog-leg knife is nearly a foot and a half long, wide in front and narrow in back, shaped like a dog's leg, and also extremely sharp. Yang Menglong is really willing to spend money to equip these soldiers with such a good knife!

Qi Hu arranged a dormitory for Xue Siming.Each dormitory is about [-] square meters, and there are four beds on the left and right sides. Each bed is divided into upper and lower floors. A dormitory can accommodate eight people.The dormitory was cleaned very clean, the quilts were folded into standard tofu blocks, everything was neatly placed, it was clear at a glance where was the tea mug, where was the lunch box, and where was the washbasin.

"You sleep here." Qi Hu pointed to a bed that was not covered with mats and said, "Things must be arranged properly. Put your own logo on the tank and washbasin, and put them together with everyone else, and put them neatly... Do you see the cabinet near the door? Remember to put the weapons in and lock them after training every day, and use them without permission Take them out of the barracks, if it is light, it will be a military stick, if it is serious, it will be cleared!"

Xue Siming was not very happy: "The weapon is locked, wouldn't it be troublesome for us to take it out and use it?"

Qi Hu said: "Baihu is in charge of the keys. After training every day, Baihu is responsible for checking whether every weapon is put into the cabinet, and then locks the cabinet. The next morning after the morning run, he opens the cabinet and takes out the weapons. Begin training, that is to say, during non-training periods, no one shall bear arms except the sentries and patrols guarding the barracks."

Xue Siming said: "In case there is a war..."

Qi Hu said: "When it's time to fight, you will naturally make sure you stay with your swords and stand ready for battle, but you still have to follow the rules in normal times."

Xue Siming frowned when he heard this, and he suddenly had a premonition: This is not the paradise he imagined, and life here may not be so easy!
