Chapter 72 The Hunt Begins

() Liu Ming is in the middle army, his eyes are dull.

The generals and military divisions beside him also showed unbelievable eyes at this moment.Zhang Fei and the three who were facing them showed helpless expressions, as if 'the fact is so, believe it or not'.

"You mean to say that these Xianbei cavalry were taken away by the cavalry archers in two rounds?" Liu Ming had to repeat it to make sure if he heard it wrong.

"That's it..." The three of them could only nod their heads, as this was the truth after all.

"Okay, let the cavalry archers do a hundred push-ups as punishment!" Liu Ming gave the verdict.

"My lord, why?" Ma Chao didn't understand. He won the battle, so why should he be punished?

"With such a fast attack speed, why don't you aim for me and shoot again? You can ask them back, I don't believe that they can increase the hit rate and reduce the shooting speed a little, how much smaller the arrow rain can be! Now look, Tens of thousands of war horses were destroyed just like this, so why shouldn’t this be punished?” Liu Ming pointed to the tens of thousands of dead war horses directly in front of him and said.

Ma Chao really had nothing to say, tens of thousands of war horses were stingy enough to arm tens of thousands of soldiers.Now they are all shot by Arrow Rain, which is indeed a bit of a waste.

"It's good if you know it. Send an order to them to do a hundred push-ups. At the same time, they will eat horse meat for every meal until they finish eating the tens of thousands of horse meat. Let them think about it. How should the army deal with each mode of warfare, don't fight back and forth in the future, or just go straight, don't use your brain." Liu Ming knew that he understood, so he gave an ultimatum.

"This subordinate understands!" Ma Chao understood now why Zhang Fei didn't say anything over there.

"Also, it is also a problem that you three generals are not familiar with the soldiers under your command. Since they make a hundred, you can make three hundred. As for this one, there is no way to deny my decision. If you refute me, you will be punished twice! This is an old rule, and you can only blame you for focusing too much on martial arts and marching and fighting, and not paying attention to military regulations and discipline." Liu Ming gave another judgment.

Zhang Fei and Pang De immediately agreed, and they were indeed somewhat responsible for the accident.At the same time, looking at Ma Chao's face that had swallowed his stool, he wisely chose to accept it silently instead of refuting it.

"Relax! As the coach, General Huang and I made some mistakes, so we should each do [-] push-ups!" Liu Ming said with a smile.

"Master, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you..." Huang Zhong immediately advised.

"Want to double the punishment?" Liu Ming tilted his head and smiled.

"Subordinates dare not, so get punished immediately!" Huang Zhong smiled wryly, and immediately got off his horse and started doing push-ups in public.

Compared with the horsewhip, push-ups are actually more humane, especially in the later stage when you have no strength, the buttocks are slightly lower, which immediately arouses roars of laughter from others.

The mental blow may be more profound than whipping twenty horsewhips.After all, the welts on the body can be healed, but the blows in the heart are afraid that after ten or eight years, they will still wake up in their sleep.

What's more, everyone is wearing armor, which is equivalent to doing push-ups with a load of tens of catties.Under such circumstances, is it difficult for even a general to successfully complete hundreds of push-ups?

After Huang Zhong started, Liu Ming got off his horse and accompanied him to do push-ups.Seeing this, the three of Zhang Fei smiled at each other and got off their horses one after another.The archers and cavalry soldiers not far away also looked at each other with wry smiles and got off their horses.

Tens of thousands of push-ups, this scene is quite spectacular.But thanks to the continuous dispatch of scouts from afar to ensure that there will be no surprise attacks by the enemy, otherwise they might not be able to enjoy themselves so leisurely.

"Haha, Wang Er, you kid, didn't you eat last night?"

"Hehe, Li Gouzi, I know you are 25 years old and you don't have a wife, but you can't just bow to the ground in front of everyone! If you really can't hold back, I will find you a horse Go mare!"

Everyone was doing push-ups hard, and when they reached about seventy, many people lost their shape.At this time, the soldiers watching around cordially uttered various words of 'encouragement'.

Therefore, even if they put their lives to the test, they must complete the hundred perfectly to avoid embarrassment.

Slowly, everyone completed their respective tasks, except for one person.

Ma Chao, who is in his teens, has to complete 330 push-ups alone. This guy has already completed [-] six, but it is obvious that he has almost reached his limit.

"The rest will be done in three days, just don't be lazy!" Seeing his exhausted look, Liu Ming ordered immediately.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ma Chao said with difficulty, and the whole person lay on the ground and did not move.

At this moment, he felt how happy he was to be able to lie down like this.

"Don't lie down, get up and jog for a while!" Zhang Fei lifted him up.

Ma Chao smiled wryly, and immediately jogged around for a bit.Just affected by this punishment, this guy didn't have the strength to use his gun within a few days.

Fortunately, there was no fighting at all in the next few days, and Ma Chao quickly recovered his original combat effectiveness.

At the same time, Liu Ming's words also reminded other generals that the troops under his command may have changed.After careful inspection, except for the sword and shield pikemen, which are self-trained and have not changed, the cavalry archers, crossbowmen and continuous crossbowmen have all changed.

The shooting speed of the repeating crossbowmen has become faster, mainly reflected in the replacement speed of the arrow box.From changing the arrow box to pulling the arrow string to shoot, the process is smooth and smooth without any delay.In other words, as long as there are enough arrow boxes, the repeating crossbowmen can almost maintain the firing of crossbow arrows semi-permanently.

In modern parlance, that's a real Metal Storm.

The crossbowmen are more powerful and shoot faster, but there is no stronger crossbow, otherwise the crossbowmen can shoot farther and cause more powerful damage to mid-range enemies.

In a word, these three kinds of soldiers are completely open-ended existences.

This made the generals very surprised, and they were full of resentment towards Liu Ming... Everyone knew that their becoming stronger was the light of the night before.At the same time, everyone knew that that light had absolutely nothing to do with Liu Ming.

Now that everything has been done, is it okay to ventilate with everyone anyway?

Look at the three of Zhang Fei and the [-] cavalry archers, the punishment is a bit suffocating!

The resentment didn't last long. After all, according to the report from the scouts, a tribe of Xianbei people had appeared ahead.This is the signal to start the hunt, which means that the expedition will officially begin!

The Xianbei people were really going to be unlucky this time, and they were doomed from the moment they responded to Zhang Chun's invitation to go south.

Even in the past, Liu Ming's army was like a god of death, which made the people of the Southern Huns extremely fearful.Now it is even more open. The Xianbei people have not traveled southward on a large scale for three years, so they will naturally fight Liu Ming recklessly this time.

When the time comes, they will know a fact, that is, 'The army that is cheating, don't mess with it! '
