Xuande

Chapter 25 Liu Bei is a man who pursues speed

In mid-August, after Liu Bei was fully prepared, he left his hometown with the ardent expectations of Han Rong, Gongsun Zan, and his hometown elders, and embarked on the journey to Luoyang again with more than 20 large and small cars.

This time, I don’t know if it’s luck or something. I crossed Jizhou from Zhuojun to the south, and the journey went smoothly without any disturbances. I didn’t even encounter a few rainy days. Except for the hot weather, there was nothing uncomfortable. .

Liu Bei was very happy about this, and would stop to have a barbecue party when he encountered a cooler place with beautiful mountains and rivers on the road, full of leisure and leisure.

It wasn't until they entered Hanoi County that they discovered a group of bandits besieging a convoy on a mountain road. The convoy had guards and was fighting with the bandits.

To be honest, when Liu Bei heard that the outpost team said that they found bandits robbing a convoy, he felt that this was the normal Han Dynasty, and that this was the truly normal Han Dynasty.

The previous smooth journey seemed a little abnormal to him.

Is it normal in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty without bandits and strong men blocking the way?

If the world is really so stable, how can the great man Huanghuang come to an end?

"Brother, what shall we do?"

With a fighting spirit on his face, Zhang Fei rode his horse to Liu Bei's side and asked Liu Bei's next plan.

Of course Liu Bei knew what Zhang Fei meant.

This guy has never been a quiet master. After following Lu Zhi on the battlefield twice, he ignited the fire of belligerence in his bones. He was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Hearing that he could do it would be worse than marrying his wife to sleep happy.

Of course, Liu Bei is not a law-abiding master.

"The so-called roar when the road is injustice, when it's time to act, bandits, they will be suppressed at any time. Today they can rob this caravan, and tomorrow they may attack us. Since I am filial to the country, Must contribute to the country! Suppress! Must be suppressed!"

Liu Bei gave an order.

Then everyone got ready immediately.

Liu Hui, a team clerk with little force, immediately boarded a truck and hid himself to avoid being a burden to everyone. He was still very conscious about this.

Liu Yong and Liu Sheng, two aggressive young men from the Liu clan, led eight knights around the family convoy to protect the family.

Zhang Fei took the remaining 30 knights to prepare for battle.

Liu Bei boarded the family vehicle and talked to Han Ning and Han Xiaodie.

"There are some short-sighted gangsters ahead. After I go and wipe them out, let's continue on the road. You stay here, just in the car, and don't go anywhere."

"Will it be dangerous?"

Han Ning was very worried, and grabbed Liu Bei's hand: "Is it enough to ask Yide to go? Mr. Lang should not go."

"No, I am the leader, and I should charge forward."

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled again: "Don't worry, I have experienced life and death since I was a child. These mere bandits are nothing to worry about. You two should protect yourselves."

After speaking, Liu Bei left the carriage, mounted his horse with a knife in hand, and charged away with Zhang Fei.

Needless to say, horseback riding is a real technical job these days, with high technical requirements.

Because there are no stirrups and high-bridge saddles on the horse, only simple protective gear and a single-sided stirrup for the convenience of getting on the horse.

Once the knight is on the horse, he must rely on the reins to control the direction of the horse, and use his legs to clamp the horse's belly to maintain the balance of the body. This requires very high leg strength.

It is more difficult to fight immediately.

Ordinary cavalry can only use one-handed swords or special hand crossbows, and only particularly powerful and specially trained elite cavalry can use spears or bows and arrows.

Back then, the Huns relied on riding and archery skills to cross the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

Apart from these things, riding a horse wears clothes, especially trousers, very hard. The trousers on the inside of the thighs are often worn out when riding, and what’s more, the skin can be worn out. The bloody piece looks very It's embarrassing.

Because the skin was worn out and hurt, so when I got off the horse, I had to walk with my legs sideways, swaying like a penguin, and the posture was so indecent that people shook their heads when they saw it.

No way, this is the price humans have to pay for the pursuit of speed in the era of former Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups.

As a man who pursues speed, Liu Bei has already crossed this hurdle in his heart.

When he was learning to ride a horse earlier, his inner thigh was worn out and injured many times, and the wound healed many times, so the skin on that part was particularly rough, and the muscles on that part were also very firm and wear-resistant.

Coincidentally, the subordinates around Liu Bei are also like this. The muscles on the inner thighs are very strong, and the skin is very rough and wear-resistant.

Not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, non-combatants such as Jian Yong and Liu Hui are the same. In order to practice riding and riding a good horse, the skin on the inner thighs of everyone is very rough, and the muscles are strong and hard.

Liu Bei and his subordinates have a very good relationship, and they often use physical contact to enhance their relationship. For example, when taking a bath together, everyone often compares the roughness of the skin on the inner thighs and the firmness of the muscles.

Among the group of people, Zhang Fei's inner thigh skin was the roughest, while Guan Yu's muscles were the hardest.

If you want to talk about comprehensiveness, Liu Bei has the strongest comprehensive quality, which is inseparable from his earliest exposure to war horses and riding skills.

It is worth mentioning that the muscles in the inner thigh of the pull move are the most elastic and of high quality, which was verified by Liu Bei himself.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the friendship between men. Liu Bei gave an order and brought thirty Han knights from Youzhou roaring forward, charging the scattered bandits with an indomitable momentum.

The bandits were caught off guard and were killed by Liu Bei's cavaliers who arrived in no time.

Liu Bei held the Huan Shou Dao in his hand, and with quick eyes and hands, he chopped off the head of a bandit in front of him with a single swing of his hand.

The bandit's head fell to the ground and rolled a few times, the headless body spurted out a lot of blood like a fountain, and then fell to the ground with a crash.

Such and such scenes reappeared in large numbers. The knights of Liu Bei's Cavaliers swung their knives into the bandits.

Blood gushes out like a fountain, and the doomsday-like scene will bring great visual impact to people. Those who are a little timid will be frightened into incontinence, and even become mentally disturbed.

But such is the cruelty of this era.

The 19-year-old Liu Bei has long been used to this.

Be it street fights or starry night killings, this was something he had to do and get used to in order to survive in Youzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In addition to the beheaded bandits, there were also some unlucky bandits who were directly knocked into the air by the galloping horses, and flew back for more than a foot before they could barely land, groaning in pain.

The impact of the war horses is extremely terrifying, and it is not what the human body can bear, let alone they have never formed an formation, have no shields, and no spears. As soon as the horses come, a large number of bandits will be knocked into the air, trampled to death of.

The advantage of the cavalry over the infantry that has not formed is fully demonstrated.

The bandits were suddenly attacked. Although the number of bandits was obviously larger than Liu Bei's Cavaliers, they were quickly collapsed by such an impact. They immediately ignored the robbery and the orders of the King of the Mountain, and immediately ran away howling. Each fled for his life.

Still a bunch of rabble!
That would be easier to deal with. If they really wanted to gather together in a group, they could cause some trouble to the cavalry, but this panic-stricken flight all over the mountains and plains was simply a living target in the eyes of the cavalry.

Liu Bei spotted a tall and unusually dressed guy, rode his horse and galloped towards him, raised the ring knife in his hand and chopped it off with a single blow, a huge head fell to the ground instantly.

This is probably the bandit leader. When he died, the surrounding bandits howled in panic, as miserable as their parents.

So this small-scale encounter soon ended. Liu Bei successfully defeated a bandit team of more than 200 people through battle. Everyone killed more than 40 people, and the other bandits all escaped.

Liu Bei didn't have the idea of ​​chasing and taking prisoners, he just thought it was a military exercise, and driving them all away was enough. As for the rescued people, he didn't have any thoughts either. , training soldiers by the way, that's all.

But the team members who were rescued obviously didn't think so, and the leading young man came to express his thanks to Liu Bei in person.

"I'm Zhenyan, named Ziya, from Wuji County, Zhongshan State, my father Shang Cailing Zhenyi, I don't know who you are?"

Good guy, Mrs. Wuji Zhen?

That is the noble family of Zhongshan who inherited two thousand stones.

Liu Bei looked up and down the man who called himself Zhen Yan, quite surprised.

"My subordinate Liu Bei, styled Xuande, was born in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, after King Jing of Zhongshan."

"It turned out to be the clan of the Han family."

Zhen Yan bowed respectfully, and said: "This time, I am in a catastrophe. If brother Xuande hadn't helped me, I would have died already. If you remember the kindness of saving your life, you will surely be rewarded!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that when the road is uneven, I draw my sword to help."

Liu Bei wiped the blood from his face, and grinned: "Besides, the bandits will be wiped out at any time. Since I am a member of the Han family, of course I will serve the country and kill the bandits."
