Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 339 Martial Examination Begins (Two in One)

Yang Bi hurriedly led the remnant soldiers to a place 20 miles outside Changyang City, and began to set up camp. Changyang City is too small, and there must be no room for an army of [-].

All the soldiers were already hungry and cold. Now that they returned to Changyang, they all showed hope. They could finally have a sip of hot soup and a warm meal, and then have a good night's sleep.

Yang Bi also sent his personal guards to Changyang to deliver orders to bring grain and grass to the camp.

Now the morale in the army is low, and there are quite a lot of complaints against Yang Bi. Fortunately, Yang Bi has a lot of means and promises to make a lot of money, which prevents the army from being completely dispersed.

If Uncle Yang was there, relying on his reputation in the army, the soldiers might not be so depressed. An anticlimactic battle made Yang Bi, who was already low in prestige, less and less able to command the army, and Yang Bi There was nothing to do about it.

But now Yang Bi didn't think about the army. He was thinking about how to appease Yang Tianlong's anger. With Yang Tianlong's character, if he heard the news of his defeat, it would be a good ending if he demoted himself to Baiding .

"General! General!"

His personal guard stumbled into his big tent, knocked his head in front of Yang Bi, and shouted: "General, it's not good!"

"What's going on! You've been with someone for so long, and you don't even know the etiquette?" Yang Bi was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but now he saw that the personal soldiers were so disreputable, completely enraged Yang Bi.

The guards didn't care about Yang Bi's scolding, and hurriedly said to Yang Bi: "General, the brothers who went with XX were all shot to death by the people on the city wall! The banner at the top of the city is yes."

Yang Bi kicked the case away with one kick, his face was ashen, and he shouted: "What is it!"

The personal guard knocked his head on the ground and wailed, "It's the Da Zhou Banner! The Da Zhou Banner! That general's flag says General Peng Yue!"

"what!!!"

Yang Bi pushed away the guards and staggered a few steps forward, "Come here! Come! Beat the drums! Reorganize the army!"

When the scribes heard the news of Yang Bi's reorganization, they also ran over from the camp and shouted at Yang Bi, "General, why do you want to reorganize the army! What happened!"

Yang Bi grabbed the scribe's skirt, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily, "Liang Lei, it's all your fault. If it wasn't for your bad idea, how could Changyang be lost?"

Liang Lei was trying to pull Yang Bi's tight hands, but when he heard Yang Bi's yell, he was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Changyang has nearly 2 horses, how is it possible? How is this possible?" possible?"

"how is this possible?"

Yang Bi pushed forward vigorously, and pushed Liang Lei to the ground. Yang Bi pointed at Liang Lei's nose and cursed, "Impossible? They shot four of X's personal guards to death. They were all replaced with the flags of Liu De's generals! You still say it's impossible? Now get out of here, as far away as possible!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Bi walked outside the big tent.

Liang Lei prostrated himself on the ground, stretched out his hands vigorously, and cried out in pain: "General, don't send troops! Don't send troops!"

The last outstretched hand hangs down feebly. Yang Bi, who is in a rage, cannot tolerate anyone's advice, but Liang Lei already has a premonition that a bigger failure may be waiting for Yang Bi.

The news of the fall of Changyang spread in the army in an instant, which was a fatal blow to morale. They would not think about the enemy's problems, but directed all their resentment at Yang Bi, the chief general. If Yang Bi hadn't commanded How could there be such a disastrous defeat with an army of more than 20 people?
Yang Bi didn't care about the hostility towards him from the Italian lieutenants at all. In fact, it seems that Yang Bi is quite courageous. Yang Bi thinks that this is only temporary. As long as he has a victory, the soldiers will quickly change their views on him. , plus the heavy promise I made, the army will definitely be under my control again.

And Yang Bi now has 20 troops under his command. Although they are exhausted and their morale is low, they can easily capture Changyang City with ease.

How many people does Peng Yue have under his command?

But thousands of people, 20 troops, is it still afraid that thousands of people will fail?

Yang Bi still gave some encouragement, but it was the same old, empty talk, and the soldiers were tired of listening to it. If Yang Bi brought boxes of vain silver to the soldiers, he would definitely be able to quickly improve the ranks of the soldiers. morale.

Unfortunately, no!
Therefore, although Yang Bi aggressively led an army of 20 troops to the city of Changyang, in fact the whole team was sparse and had no formation at all.

Peng Yue and Wei Yan on the top of the wall looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes. Both of them are brave people with high skills, so naturally they refused to let this opportunity go.

Wei Yan said to Peng Yue: "General, although the enemy's army is several times larger than ours, it actually has no formation and is vulnerable to a single blow. The last general suggested that we should directly lead all the soldiers and horses. The army will attack and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!"

"What Xiaowei Wei said is in line with the general's wishes. If we want to play, let's play a big one!"

Peng Yue licked his dry lips, and his eyes showed unspeakable excitement. If he defeated Yang Bi's 20 army, and even captured Yang Bi, he would definitely be able to truly command an army, and even garrison important places. That's why I won't follow other people and pick up some leftover soup and leftovers.

This is also the reason why Peng Yue insisted on leading the army alone. He never thought that he was inferior to anyone else. All he lacked was an opportunity!
But now this opportunity is in front of his eyes, the soldiers and horses under the city are in a mess, not even the young and strong in Yanzhou.

"Bang!"

The gates of Changyang City were wide open.

Peng Yue and Wei Yan rushed to Yang Bi's army with a team of soldiers and horses respectively!

"what!"

Yang Bi reined in his horse with all his might, "A certain man with an army of 20 dares to go out of the city, he really doesn't know what to do!"

Waving the sword forward, he ordered loudly: "Quickly release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

It took a long time for the order to be delivered before a wave of sparse arrows shot out. But at this time, the Yanzhou Army led by Peng Yue was less than ten meters away from Yang Army, and the appearance of the enemy on the opposite side was clearly visible.

"Kill!"

Peng Yue's stunt [Guerrilla] launched!
Increases defense, mobility, and morale when attacking an enemy unit whose strength is at least twice that of your own.

The Yanzhou soldiers with special skills were even more like tigers and wolves, plunging into the flock of sheep. The weak lambs were trembling, unable to resist the attack of the Yanzhou army.

There were ten corpses lying on the ground, and only one was a soldier of the Yanzhou Army.

"General, what shall we do now!" the guard beside Yang Bi said in horror.

"Withdraw!"

There was panic in Yang Bi's eyes, his hands holding the rein were trembling vigorously, his heart was bleeding, Yang Bi knew that he was finished!
January [-]th, good luck, everything is right.

This day has long been designated as the day of martial arts selection, and in order to let everyone pay attention to martial arts, Liu De went to the school to watch the martial arts in person. Of course, Liu De was only as a guest, accompanied by the ministers, and Yannan The general person in charge of martial arts.

The school grounds are outside Liao City. Although Liao City is not small, there is no place to build such a large school ground.

So Liu De ordered Yannan to build the school field outside the city, but it was not too far from Liao City, and a large number of people rushed to the school field to watch the martial arts. In winter, there was no entertainment at all, and now there is finally one Take a good look at the excitement.

Yannan originally wanted to send troops to isolate the common people from the school grounds, but Liu De indicated that Yannan did not have to do this. With word of mouth from the common people, the civil and military exercises he held must be more popular among the people. If the civil and military exercises are held successfully, there will inevitably be a group Generals and officials who have benefited from this will be more able to deal with those stubborn families.

Some hawkers selling miscellaneous fruits, pastries, and tea took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Liu De also learned from Yan Nan that the owner of the Fugui Gambling Shop even opened the game to the school grounds, and just after the market opened, the bet was on who can win the first place in archery.

A densely packed large wooden board, as long as the names of martial arts registrations are all listed on it, there are hundreds of people, and each name has a place of origin and odds behind it.

This made Liu De, who was in a pretty good mood, very annoyed. It was obvious that the list had been leaked, which was definitely the official's dereliction of duty.

Li Dian, who went to investigate, came back and reported that all the information was collected by the gambling shop owner himself, and the government government did not disclose it.

It was only then that Liu De became interested in the owner of this wealthy gambling house, and allowed him to hold gambling games in the school grounds, but it was far away from the school grounds, so it would not affect the martial arts.

Generals who were supposed to go back, such as Bai Qi, Liu Gui, and Chen Qi, were also kept by Liu De, allowing them to watch the martial arts together.

The competition in the morning of the first day was about archery. It's a pity that Huang Zhong is not in Liao City. If he is in Liao City, he can just show his strength.

Liu De sat on the main seat, and a high platform was built behind the school grounds. Liu De and others were on the high platform, and they could clearly see the archery skills of the Wuju people.

The school grounds are also blocked by a fence, this is to prevent the common people from rushing in suddenly, which may accidentally injure them, and the common people can also see the competition from behind the fence, which is already very satisfying for them.

After Yan Nan finished talking about the rules, he waved the flag in his hand, announcing the start of martial arts. Yan Nan wanted Liu De to say a few words, but Liu De refused.

not the right time yet.

Liu De looked at the crowd holding their breath and holding their bows, and suddenly asked Zheng Fu, "How many families are participating in this martial arts?"

Zheng Fu bowed and said: "Not many, there are a total of 791 people participating in the martial arts, but there are only 87 people from the aristocratic family, and most of them are collateral children of those aristocratic families who have failed."

"Hey! It's not even a fraction."

Liu De sneered.

Zheng Fu said: "The aristocratic family has opinions on the civil and military examinations, and it is normal that there are few people who come, and the same is true for the Wenju."

Wen Ju is held later than Wu Ju.

Liu De looked at Xun Yu, and Xun Yu hurriedly said, "My lord, there are 466 people who have been reported in the literature, and there are only 42 descendants of the aristocratic family."

There are so few essays!

Liu De frowned. When Dongyu held the examination, it was the same number of people.

"Is anyone obstructing it?"

Liu De asked.

Xun Yu said, "Not on the surface, but secretly."

"This group of people who don't remember to fight!" Liu De cursed secretly. Although Xun Yu didn't finish his sentence, Liu De already knew that someone must be obstructing Wenju. After all, in essence, Wenju and Wuju In fact, it is different. The harm of martial arts to the family is not as great as that of Wenju.

Although Liu De has multiple systems in parallel, in addition to examinations, if he is recommended by an important minister, as long as he has some ability, Liu De will appoint an official position, but the position may be lower.

But in fact, what do those aristocratic families rely on to monopolize the officialdom, isn't it just to monopolize knowledge and mutual recommendation?

You recommend my nephew, and I recommend your brother. In this way, the officialdom will gradually become the back garden of the aristocratic family, and there will be no place for those poor families anymore.

"Thorough investigation! Strict and thorough investigation! If any obstructers are found, they will be severely punished!"

Liu De ordered.

"I take orders!" Xun Yu bowed his hands.

"Also!" Liu De glanced at Xun Yu, "Next time something like this happens, report it in advance!"

"Yes!"

Xun Yu lowered his head deeply.

A burst of cheers caught Liu De's attention, "What's the matter? Did someone shoot ten arrows so quickly?"

A tiger guard rushed over and reported to Liu De: "My lord, the examinee [Wenren Tongda] hits nine out of ten arrows, excellent!"

"Haha, it seems that there are some capable people in this martial arts! This archery skill is nine out of ten, and it is considered a good archer!" Liu De said with a smile.

"Do you know who this well-informed person is?" Liu De asked.

"This surname is quite weird!" Liu Guiqi said.

Chen Shuo supported his long beard and said, "In ancient times, this Wenren praised him for his profound knowledge, outstanding talent, and world-famous reputation, so he took Wenren as his surname. Presumably this person's ancestors were also from a famous family!"

Liu Dedao: "Wait until all the martial arts exams are held, and then see what ranking this knowledgeable celebrity can get!"

After the archery competition was over, the statistical list was also handed over to Liu De. Liu De held up the list in his hand and said to everyone: "There is only one person who has excellent archery skills, and this person is well-known, and there are four good ones." , There are 89 people who are qualified, this archery has stumped a group of people, less than a hundred people in total!"

"I hope the horsemanship in the afternoon will not be as bleak as the bowmanship!"

There are six levels of adaptability: Holy, Divine, S, A, B, and C.

The Holy Spirit will not mention it first, it is too far away.

General adaptability will not only be reflected in the improvement of the attributes of the arms, but also the strength of a general, especially in the archers.

For example, Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu's force is only 29, but in fact Mi Zhu is also good at shooting arrows, fixed targets, often six or seven out of ten, and his bow suitability is B.

The higher a person's level of archery is, the higher his aptitude will be. Unlike infantry and cavalry aptitude, there is diversity.

This is actually very strange, and Liu De doesn't know the reason why the system is divided like this, so he can only guess by himself.

And according to Liu De's analysis, as long as the aptitude reaches A, this time the archery assessment, fixed target, can basically achieve excellent, but obviously there is only one person.

When the suitability reaches B, it basically hovers between qualified and good.

C, basically never practiced bow and arrow, or not proficient in archery.

Of course, there must be times when there are mistakes in performance, which is inevitable.

There are more factors to consider in moving targets, so let's not mention them first.

In other words, in fact, there were not many people who were good at bows and arrows in this martial arts exercise.
