In the front yard of Xingluo Villa, beside the pond, the short Bilanpo was surrounded by twenty or thirty soldiers wearing gray cloth armor with copper nails.
This is the lowest level of armor among the Thirteen Armors that are classified according to the level of the officers and soldiers of the Great Wednesday Army. Every soldier has a set of armor, which is only worn lightly when working at leisure, and can respond in time to emergencies.
Bilanpo's face that was not in line with her age was covered with frost, but she was not afraid. She looked at Qi Moyan who had appeared in the hall and sneered: "Which song is City Lord Qi singing for me?" ?" His voice was already hoarse, but now it was even more hoarse.
Qi Moyan is honest.
"Did you, old witch, really think that I would let you follow them?"
"Old witch?" Bilanpo thought about this title, which was the first time she heard it, and said with a smile,
"A man like City Master Qi who is well-read in poetry is really good at naming names." Qi Moyan didn't take the other party's sarcasm seriously at all. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of the door with a flourish, saying: "Who knows what kind of medicine you, the old witch, sell in your gourd, can I safely let the two of them leave with you? This is not a good thing in my dreams. Now you have become an old turtle in a urn, unable to fly with wings. I think you are not as good as you. Just be obedient and let him go, so as not to waste your time and mine."
"Qi Moyan, are you looking down on me too much?" Bilan Po smiled sinisterly, with a ferocious look on her face.
"Just these few people still want to catch me?" Phoenix City Lord Qi Mo Yan asked, "What else?" Then his voice became higher and he snorted coldly,
"When the Zhou Dynasty established itself, it was clearly stipulated that the use of force should not be used to violate the prohibitions. Why, do you still want to rebel?" Since the establishment of the political power in ancient times, the most fearful thing is to use force to violate the prohibitions. In order to prevent people from the world from endangering the political power, the laws set up are naturally strict.
The law is profound and strict, and the people who are the most dangerous in the eyes of these rulers are suppressed. Or massively expand the army, train soldiers, and crush the people in the world with the absolute difference in numbers.
This kind of thing happened in the previous dynasty, where people from the world of martial arts fought against the imperial army. A master of martial arts, a top-notch martial artist, who practiced kung fu and had a strong body, was eaten alive by waves of soldiers. , although the casualties were heavy, and more than a hundred people were exchanged for one person, the gain outweighed the loss, but it could also be seen where the martial arts' shortcomings lay.
Therefore, during the Great Zhou Dynasty, soldiers who joined the army were treated very well, and their monthly salary was engraved with
Five taels of official silver ingots with the words "Dazhou Tongbao" can be converted into enough to buy a fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms. During the service period, various taxes and miscellaneous income are exempted. After retirement, it will be even more generous, and the monthly pension will not be too much. Fei, in the local area, it is the same as that of a scholar, which shows that officials do not kneel, and they are at the same level as seventh-grade officials.
Therefore, after a hundred years of establishment, there are more than tens of thousands of soldiers serving in the army. The number of the three armies that can be named in the Zhou Dynasty alone is half a million, and this does not include idle local soldiers and reserve personnel.
Or use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to attract people from the world to be used by the court. Not to mention the first king with a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty for more than a hundred years, there are countless other positions that were created for this group of people, just for the sake of crisis. At this time, this group of masters who can actually be called hawks and dogs took action.
In addition, it is stipulated that all local armed forces must be registered. Whether they are wealthy families or clan gangs, unless permitted by the court, those who exceed fifty must register on time, and those who exceed one hundred must have a mortgage.
This is enough to show the imperial court's constraints on the world, and on the other hand, it also shows the imperial court's fear of this other world.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, stationing troops in various places and practicing all day long. Although they are not as good as those warriors, the combined attack method trained by this group of sergeants has a tacit understanding with each other, and their power cannot be underestimated. They are not those warriors who fight alone. Comparable.
Even in a small city like this at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the total of regular infantry and reserve guards is only 200 people. Unless it is a rebellion, a team of at least ten people must be formed, otherwise it will be like a warrior who has entered the palace alone. It is impossible to fight to death against these two hundred people under encirclement, but it will also consume energy.
There is also a law in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who joins the army and has no rank or official rank is not allowed to slander him at will. If he disobeys, he can be killed in the street.
It is true that in contrast, anyone who joins the military and bullies others will also be killed with the military staff. The Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and such iron-clad regulations have always demonstrated the status of soldiers.
As the chief of the Omoli clan, Bilanpo naturally knew this rule that seemed to be specially formulated for their warriors.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has always implemented an indulgent policy towards ethnic minorities. As long as it does not shake the foundation of the country and does not offend the majesty of the country, it will turn a blind eye to what these ethnic minorities do.
However, military authority must not be violated, as Bilanpo knew very well. She was still thinking of using evil to control evil and go on a killing spree. After Qi Mo Yan reminded her like this, Bilanpo couldn't help but flinch a little.
It was impossible to take action. If he used force, this kid would go to the court and file a complaint. Even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he might not be able to escape the sanctions of the Zhou Dynasty court.
Qi Moyan, who obviously didn't want to get along with him at the moment, was not from the Jianghu community, so Bilanpo really couldn't treat him the same way as one from the Jianghu community.
As a result, there is really a dilemma. Bi Lan Po was not worried. Although she could no longer go to Ye San Geng now, if the other party boasted about catching her, and she also boasted of some means, it would be impossible to kill these sergeants, but she wanted to leave. I'm afraid these crooked melons and jujubes in front of me don't have the ability.
Bilanpo laughed ferociously and said proudly: "Then you come and give it a try and see if these people can catch me!" Qi Moyan could naturally guess that Bilanpo, who had been famous for some time, must be under his command. It's not simple. Last night, she had seen her fight with the great monk Yishan several times. Although she didn't take any action and only fired a few concealed weapons, Qi Moyan still remembered her agile dodge skills. Even if he didn't She knew a lot about martial arts, but she could tell a thing or two by looking at her elegant figure. If this old witch wanted to escape, it would be useless to count on these twenty or thirty sergeants who only knew some rudimentary moves.
Qi Moyan looked at a general on horseback at the entrance of the outermost villa. He was wearing a bright silver mountain armor that was different from that of an infantry soldier. He had a bear head and a ferocious fang in his belly, showing his fierce look. It was the standard armor of a fifth-grade military attaché. This person is none other than the general of Phoenix City's garrison, the fifth-rank Zhechong Captain, Qin Sheng.
Qi Moyan said: "Captain Qin, have you brought the Xiangxi Army I founded in your spare time?" Captain Zhe Chong, who was strong and tall and handsome, clasped his fists on his horse and looked majestic.
"Reporting to the city lord, we are waiting for orders outside the villa." Bilanpo was shocked. She never expected that there were still people ambushing outside the villa.
Qi Moyan smiled happily and ordered: "Let them come in and play with this senior Bilan." He was secretly glad that Bilanpo, who had just not rushed out rashly, saw two groups of people dressed opposite each other coming in from the villa gate. A muscular man, wearing paper armor uniformly issued by the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This kind of armor is different from the copper-nailed cloth armor worn by the first group of infantry, which has low defense. Strong but slightly clumsy, this kind of paper armor popular among the southern military is simple to make, highly flexible, and light in weight. It can be achieved by just using hard cloth to frame the bones and paper tendons to prevent holes. The terrifying defensive effect is said to have been reported to the court by the young prince of Liangzhou who was very good at using troops in battles years ago, and he was planning to uniformly equip this kind of armor to the Zhou army.
It's not surprising that Bilanpo could recognize it. When I went to the capital that year, all the guards on Panshan Mountain were wearing this type of armor. Even my own silver needle couldn't penetrate half an inch. You can imagine its defensive power.
This group of people was divided into two, clearly distinguishable. One group wore black, and the other group wore cyan. They had guns, bows, knives, and shields in their hands. They rushed past the group of sergeants wearing copper-nailed cloth armor and pulled them out. Bilanpo surrounded it.
From such a close distance, when you look closely, you can see that the black characters on the white background of the chests of those individuals clearly read the words "Seven Chessmen" in the "Seven Chess" chess pieces of "Handsman, Elephant, Carriage and Artillery". The two groups of people are really symmetrical like the chess pieces.
Qi Moyan pointed his index finger at the soldiers in the courtyard and asked with a smile: "Old witch, what do you think of them?" Bilanpo didn't pay attention to Qi Moyan at all, only thinking that she could get something out of this. He saw some flaws in his carefully guarded position, and he managed to escape smoothly.
Not expecting Bilanpo to reply, Qi Moyan added: "They are the capable people I selected from the army. Although they have never practiced martial arts, you can see that their muscles and bones are all strong and strong from childhood training." , very strong." What Qi Moyan said caught Bilan Po's attention. At this time, she also began to carefully look at the group of slightly strangely dressed men in the courtyard. They were all young and had dark skin. Those exposed The muscles on the forearms are bulging high, obviously after a lot of hard work. The body is not only strong, but also straight and tight, and the lower body is stable. Anyone who knows a little bit about it will know that he has been well trained.
He also has a straight nose, wide mouth, deep eyes, and low eyebrows, giving him a dignified appearance. Just now she was too angry and didn't look carefully. Now Bilanpo felt happy when she saw them. Looking at these strong young men, the innate lust in her bones surged out uncontrollably, fearing that she seemed to have forgotten herself. the goal of.
Bilanpo's extremely delicate face was full of evil charm, as if she wanted to seduce people, and the lust in her eyes could not be concealed. This woman whose appearance was not consistent with her age giggled and was charming. Full of confidence, he said: "Why is City Lord Qi trying to bribe me?" Qi Moyan secretly cursed the old witch. If he hadn't known her true age and ruthless methods, she would have killed a man with her natural charm. road.
Bi Lanpo then smiled charmingly and said: "City Lord Qi is very considerate and knows how to give in to others, so I would be disrespectful." Regardless of her age, this woman's manners are extremely enchanting. Coupled with this young appearance, it is really a bit addictive.
At least, Qi Moyan was distracted for a moment.
