"Have you competed? Why didn't I see it?"
Tang Jiuran looked at Yu Maner's expression and the purple color on Yu Xing's face, and suddenly understood something.
He held back his laughter, imitating Guo Alin's lecture to his subordinates, and held their arms: "That's all. It must be a small misunderstanding. No one should care about it anymore. This cannot be the case in the future. Now that you have martial arts, you can use it to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. , is the right way!”
After saying that, he looked at the two of them again: "What do you think?"
There are many good soldiers in the military academy of Dinghai Navy. After all, Yu Xing had spent a whole year in the military academy, so he had a good perspective. When he was so frantic just now, he didn't have time to think about it carefully. Now when he thought about the competition situation, he realized that Yu Man'er's skill was far better than him.
If you have to hold on to this matter...
If you want to use your power to bully others, you will be severely punished if you violate military law; if you want to compete again, you will probably bring humiliation to yourself.
That's all, that's all.
Yu Xing's round face twitched twice, and he hummed: "The lieutenant is right! This guy's skills are much better than mine, and I can't care less about him."
Since Yu Maner became a prisoner, he and his companions have been waiting for the day when they will be reorganized and settled. According to everyone's guesses, Ding Haijun would probably completely break up the surrendered pawns and recruit them to all parties, so he also made mental preparations to prepare to be a charge pawn for a few years in any place.
But he never thought that General Manager Guo issued the appointment on the spot. Although most of the subordinates were separated, many officers who were originally prestigious and courageous still served as officers. For example, Yu Man'er became the captain of the team.
The position of captain is not a big deal, but it completely makes Yu Man'er feel relieved and no longer anxious.
In the past few days, his team of soldiers had been busy following Tang Jiuyu, so he also knew that Tang Jiuyu was also a native of Shandong and was signed by the Mongolian army when they invaded last year. Tang Jiuyu's skill and command level were not bad, but Yu Man'er's vision was too high and he didn't take him seriously. In his opinion, Tang Jiuyu's official behavior was even more blunt at this moment.
But what more could you ask for?
In such an army, a soldier with meritorious service and courage can be promoted to lieutenant in just one year. And for a person like me, not only will I not be treated harshly, but I can also watch games with them, and even get the position of captain, chatting and laughing with them...
As for the captain Yu Xingyu in front of him, it is said that he is close to the general and a disciple of the emperor. But he also has to start from the top of the team. He has to bear the loss even if he faces colleagues like me!
Not to mention those legendary tax-free fields and shade houses...
that's enough!
Such an army is enough to make people work hard for their lives!
"Don't worry, Lieutenant!"
Yu Man'er nodded heavily to Tang Jiuyan, and then bowed to Yu Xing and saluted: "Captain Yu, what happened just now was probably because of my recklessness. Please don't worry about it."
After a pause, he added: "Your marksmanship is actually very good. When we meet in battle, it's hard to tell who is better. It's just that you are not familiar with the ways of the world."
"Hey, this guy can't stop talking!"
Yu Xing responded a few times and just wanted to hide his face and leave.
While I was in embarrassment, I heard the shouts of the soldiers not far away, and several lieutenants shouted: "Rogue! Rogue! It's your turn! Someone come up and compete!"
As soon as these words came out, many of Tang Jiulan's soldiers were in an uproar.
Tang Jiuran's expression also changed, but he turned slightly sideways and glanced at Guo Zhongyuan first.
Seeing Guo Zhongyuan nod slightly, he let go of Yu Maner's and Yu Xing's arms and took two steps forward.
No matter how united the army is, there are always factions and conflicts. Tang Jiuran was a native of Shandong. He came from a different background from the people of Hebei and Zhongdu, but he was promoted too quickly. Many senior officers could not help but look down upon him, calling him a "rascal" and making fun of his shortcomings.
Forget it on weekdays, today Tang Jiuyu has just been promoted to lieutenant and has nearly a hundred soldiers under his command. If he doesn't respond harshly, will he be able to lead troops in the future?
The stronger one in the army wins. This kind of thing must be responded to on the spot.
Although Tang Jiuyu was born as a commoner, he had honed his skills in the moment of life and death, and was able to kill people while wearing heavy armor on the battlefield. Seeing that he was about to come out to compete in person, the laughter of several officers in the distance stopped.
Tang Jiuyu took a few steps, and a person flashed in front of him.
Yu Man'er bowed slightly: "Lieutenant, it's just a small matter like this, I'll do it."
"you?"
Yu Man'er laughed: "Okay, it will definitely work."
He pointed at Yu Xing: "Captain Yu knows exactly what I'm doing."
Yu Xing scolded Yu Man'er as a pig and a dog in his stomach, but he still nodded repeatedly: "He can do it, I know."
The competition lasted until late at night, and in the end ten masters of archery and ten masters of thrusting were selected, but there were only sixteen people in total. It's all because there are four people who are in the top ten in both archery and galloping, and Yu Man'er is one of them.
Because many of the soldiers know Yu Mao'er, every time he appears, the soldiers under different generals and lieutenants all cheer for him.
This situation naturally earned Tang Jiuyu a lot of face. Gaining a brave comrade was like gaining an extra life on the battlefield, and Tang Jiuyu's subordinates were also extremely happy.
Unfortunately, time was limited. Seeing that it was late at night, it was difficult for the sixteen people to distinguish themselves, and the competition ended. According to what was said before, those who perform well in the competition will be rewarded. When it was time to go up to the stage to receive the reward, Guo Zhongyuan announced that each of the masters would be given an additional ten guan of money and a piece of silk. Yu Maner and the other four received double portions.
The audience cheered like thunder.
At noon the next day, the flames were still blazing in Blacksmith Fang's workshop, and the clanking of hammers and iron materials kept ringing.
Blacksmith Fang was holding a small hammer and instructing his apprentice to hammer the iron billet. Suddenly he saw Yu Xing and Yu Man'er coming in side by side. He was so frightened that his hand shook and the small hammer was knocked crooked.
"You, you, what's wrong with you two?"
He squinted his eyes carefully to make sure that Yu Xing was fine, and then continued to ask: "You two, ahem, how come you are so close?"
Yu Xing laughed loudly: "This is called a good man who doesn't know each other without fighting. You don't understand! Mr. Fang, this is the captain who is busy with the team, and now he is my colleague... Come on, what should the new captain be equipped with? , Lao Fang, please make arrangements for me!"
He patted Yu Manger's shoulder hard and shouted to Blacksmith Fang: "He got a lot of rewards yesterday! He is very rich! If you have any good things, don't hide them!"
It turned out that business came to your door?
Haha, Manager Guo promoted so many people yesterday, so he knew they would all come to buy them!
Blacksmith Fang was so happy that he immediately stopped asking about the strange relationship between the two people.
"Good stuff? Yes! Yes!"
Blacksmith Fang dropped the work at hand, pointed to Fang Si to take over, and moved to the back of the workshop. The two of them heard loud noises in the back compartment, and while he was rummaging around, he scolded Fang Liu for being lazy and not cleaning up properly.
Yu Man'er was a little hesitant. He broke away from Yu Xing's arm and said hesitantly: "Lieutenant Guo said that the team has the assigned armor and equipment. They will be distributed today. That is enough, right? Is there anything else missing?" "
Yu Xing shook his head repeatedly: "How can there be enough to kill the enemy and save lives on the battlefield? Just wait!"
After a while, Blacksmith Fang panted, and brought his two apprentices out with the goods in their arms and spread them out on the long table.
"Come and see!" Yu Xing went up to help sort.
"The military government has allocated iron armor, but it is just an ordinary armor, not a high-quality one. People like you who dare to fight must at least prepare another ring mail armor, just like this one..." Yu Xing shook the mail armor in his hand and asked, "How much does this cost?"
"I made this piece yesterday with Liu Yu'er. His blacksmithing skills are no less than mine. The lock rings are made of fine steel..." Blacksmith Fang rambled on for a long time.
Yu Xing glared: "How much money!"
"Fifteen sticks!"
"I'll take it!" Yu Xing didn't bargain at all and stuffed the mail armor into Yu's arms.
"Look at these short-hand soldiers... If the formation is scattered in the battle formation, it will be difficult to swing the spear and halberd. We rely on these to save our lives!"
He pointed at the many weapons and said one by one:
"This is a hand axe. It can chop off people's heads with one blow, and it can also kill people by throwing it!"
"This is a short-handled hook halberd, suitable for dealing with cavalry!"
"This is just an ordinary short sword, let's not talk about it. This is a Mazha sword. It has a special blade and is suitable for both offense and defense!"
"There is also an iron chain hammer...but this thing is only suitable for use on horses. Look, this is a short-sighted weapon commonly used by the Mongols, called Bulu, haven't you seen it?"
Yu Maanger really didn't expect to be able to choose these, and asked casually: "What short-range weapons do you use?"
"Of course Tie Guduo!"
Yu Xing picked up one and waved it repeatedly: "Our envoys use this iron bone flower in our hands to conquer the east and west and kill the enemy!"
"You are holding a mace, this is Iron Bone Duo."
"Hey! That's about the same!" Yu Xing threw away the mace and rummaged through the pile of weapons to find the Iron Bone Duo: "This one is good, but it's lighter than the one I use. Do you want to try it?"
Yu Man'er leisurely took out the short knife and the maza knife in his hand: "These two are enough. Mr. Fang, can you give me a price?"
"Five Guan!"
"Okay." Yu Manger was wearing mail armor and holding two knives, feeling a little satisfied but also a little confused. All because the copper coin he won yesterday changed hands in the blink of an eye, and he became a pauper again.
Yu Xing advised from the side: "It's all worth it! God knows when we will have to fight again, it's always good to prepare early!"
