It was late at night, and Zhang DaDabao only taught here tonight. When he told Lu Yunyou to go back and rest, Zhang DaDao handed Lu Yunyou the rubbings of the archery skills and asked Lu Yunyou to take a closer look when he got back.
After saying goodbye to Zhang DaDa, Lu Yunyou returned to his residence with a lot of questions and mixed emotions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the pressure on him to learn physical skills from Zhang DaDa was too great. If he had known this, it would be better not to learn.
But then I thought about it, although Zhang Daudao was too harsh, it did allow him to learn something. An hour is not long, but he learned a lot just now.
After returning to his residence, he was so excited and exhausted that he could not rest peacefully immediately because of his excessive energy. So, Lu Yunyou simply used a candle to read the archery rubbings while recalling the process of practicing physical skills just now. .
There is a big difference between physical skills and ordinary martial arts. Physical skills trains strength, while martial arts trains moves. There is a clear difference between the two. After really coming into contact with physical skills, Lu Yunyou fully understood that boxing skills did not count. Physical skills.
According to Zhang Bingdao, once he has achieved some success in the practice of archery, not only his own strength will be greatly increased, but the strength of his muscles, bones, flesh and blood will also be greatly improved. Now he cannot feel the benefits of practicing physical skills, but he can do it at any time. As the training time increases, the effects of physical skills will slowly be reflected in him.
After carefully reading the oral instructions for practicing bow skills to deepen his impression, he walked to the bedside and lay down on the bed with his body aching. The next morning, he got up early and continued to practice the bow skills in the room until Zhang Jiutian came over. Knock on the door.
Not long after, the two came to the school field again. Unlike yesterday, there was no need for group exercises today. Each soldier could train separately. Lu Yunyou directly handed over the training to Zhang Jiutian, and he found time to study physical training again. technique.
When the soldiers were training below, there were still many soldiers standing guard on the city. Due to the impending arrival of the armies of Fei and Yang, Lan Xu had deployed sufficient troops for city defense. At the same time, some materials needed to defend the city were ready. After being sent to the city, because of their abundant troops, the Star Army could make all preparations before the Allied forces arrived.
Under the leadership of Lan Xu, everything is moving in a good direction. On the other side, thirty miles away from Fancheng, the combined forces of Fei and Yang continue to march towards Fancheng.
Since they were not far from Fancheng, the two marshals had already sent people to notify Ruan Sihai after discussion and asked Ruan Sihai to open the city to welcome the coalition forces. However, the result they got was naturally Ruan Sihai's rejection.
After receiving the news that the Star Army had garrisoned Fancheng, the two marshals were greatly surprised. Then they held an impromptu meeting, with their respective military generals and senior officials from both sides huddled in a tent.
After discussion, the two marshals decided to garrison the troops in place for a while and then choose a day to formally attack the city.
In the past few days, the coalition forces have been marching normally and are not in a hurry to rush to Fancheng. The two marshals have been waiting for news, because at first the Emperor Yi did not agree with their entry into Fancheng.
After a period of dispute, Yihuang had to accept the instructions of Qingxuan Kingdom, so they were able to march towards Fancheng. Because the marshals of both parties thought that the main force of the Star Army was still in Feng Kingdom, they were not in a hurry during the march. After all, they originally He planned to go directly through Fancheng to Fengguo.
The situation of the Star Army stationed in Fancheng was too surprising to them. Now the two marshals had many things to find out. Of course, before they figured out how the Star Army occupied Fan City, they were more concerned about how to defeat the Star Army.
They originally thought that they were going to cross Fancheng and fight the Star Army on the border of Feng Kingdom, just like the decisive battle between the Star Army and the Yi Army. But now they are facing a siege battle. They have long known the geographical advantages of Fancheng. The siege was very difficult for both marshals, especially since the coalition's large siege equipment was still behind and would take some time to arrive.
Originally, those siege equipment were to be saved until they defeated the Star Army at the border of Feng Kingdom, and then used it when the Star Army retreated to the city gate. Now the situation has changed. They need to use large siege equipment in advance. In short, the two coalition marshals have It was realized that their preparations were inadequate.
It would be very difficult to capture such a big pass as Fancheng without enough siege equipment. Even if we make the simplest siege ladder now, it will still take some time. In short, for the two coalition commanders, the Star Army occupied Fancheng. This incident directly puts them in a disadvantageous situation.
After the garrison order was conveyed, the two marshals each handled some military affairs and then held an emergency meeting with their respective subordinates to discuss what they should do next.
Before they sent someone to inform Ruan Sihai, Lan Xu had received news from the sentry outside the city and knew that the coalition forces were about to arrive. Today, he received news of the coalition garrison. For Lan Xu, it was wise for the coalition forces to garrison in time. move, but tonight is still a good opportunity for their Star Army to raid the coalition forces.
Because of the continuous march, it is not difficult to imagine that the coalition forces must be in poor condition. If the coalition forces can be caught off guard, the Star Army can cause great losses to the coalition forces. However, Lan Xu does not understand the personalities of the two coalition commanders at the moment. Knowing what follow-up actions the coalition forces will take, a surprise attack on the coalition forces tonight is currently just an idea.
After discussing with the three generals earlier, Lan Xu had given up the idea of raiding the coalition forces before nightfall, and only sent additional manpower to closely monitor every move of the coalition forces due to the large number of coalition forces and too few troops on his own side.
Similarly, the coalition forces also sent personnel to investigate the details of the Star Army. With Fancheng already blocked, the only way for them to obtain information was to capture and interrogate Star Army sentries, or find someone who knew the situation in the city. Civilians, in short, before the war begins, the first thing both sides have to do is to check their respective backgrounds.
Speaking of which, Lan Xu has no doubts about the strength of the coalition forces. The key is that he does not know the specific situation inside the coalition forces. On the other hand, the two coalition marshals do not know the specific strength of the Star Army. Of course, there is one thing that can be said It is certain that the Star Army will never have more troops than them, because at the time of the decisive battle with the Wing Army, the total number of Star Army did not exceed 200,000. After a battle, the Star Army may have even fewer troops. In short, the Star Army The strength of the troops is not a problem they need to worry about.
Compared with the strength of the Star Army, Fancheng's city defense advantage was the most important. A city gate gave the Star Army a solid barrier. Although they had not participated in a formal war before, the two marshals could still imagine that they were going to capture Fan City and It's not easy. This can be seen from the result of Yiguo's attack on Wufeng City.
Based on the existence of a city defense, before attacking the city, they must not only be fully prepared with equipment, but also have a complete siege strategy. Judging from the current situation, in the short term, the coalition forces will indeed not attack the city easily. The Star Army has enough time to prepare.
Putting aside the arrival of the coalition forces, the day passed unknowingly. Except for a few inspections of the drills of the soldiers below, Lu Yunyou spent the rest of the time practicing archery. Just like learning swordsmanship before, he had just learned physical skills not long ago, and the more he practiced, the more problems he had. , before dinner, he already had a problem, and could only wait until he met with Zhang DaDa in the evening before he made any fuss.
But when he thought of Zhang DaDa's majestic face, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't know whether the results of the day's practice would satisfy Zhang DaDa.
At nightfall, Lan Xu summoned the generals to discuss matters again. He talked about the arrival of the coalition forces and the current situation, which invisibly put some pressure on Lu Yunyou. It was not until Lan Xuming finally said that the coalition forces would not attack the city in the short term that Lu Yunyou felt relaxed. Some.
After the meeting, Lu Yunyou hurried back to his residence to change into light clothes, and then went to the place where he and Zhang DaDa were learning physical skills last night. He thought he had arrived early enough, but when he got there, Zhang DaDa had already Waiting in the pavilion.
After hurried over to give Zhang DaDa a military salute, Lu Yunyou followed Zhang Da Da to an open space. Then, under Zhang Da Da's instructions, he first practiced the bow skills and routines, and then Zhang Da Da pointed out various items. question.
Compared with the last time he practiced archery last night, he only made a lot more mistakes tonight. After practicing for a day, his performance seemed to be worse than last night.
So many simple mistakes also made Zhang Bingdao realize a problem: Lu Yunyou didn't understand the method of learning physical skills at all, so after pointing out the many mistakes Lu Yunyou made, he used simple words to guide Lu Yunyou in the right direction.
Under his careful guidance, after half an hour of hard work, Lu Yunyou made fewer and fewer mistakes when practicing archery again, until in the end there were almost no practice mistakes anymore.
As the original mistakes were corrected one after another, in another half an hour, Lu Yunyou not only understood how to learn physical skills, but also realized the true meaning of physical skills.
