Chapter 34: To the King of Chu
Chapter 34: Attack on the King of Chu
These soldiers are tall and strong, and it is really difficult to compare with them. However, there are also things that make people even more frustrated.
Chen Xuanli waved his hand, Zhang Xiaofei, Xue Zhi and others came over with a few big stones and placed them on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound, and the ground was trembling. It was obvious that this weight was not light.
But Zhang Xiaofei, Xue Zhi and others were fine, as if the stone was not very heavy, which surprised people.
Su Fan and the others also placed a few hard bows next to the stone.
It seems that the second level is very difficult. People's pupils shrink and many people directly withdraw.
"The second level is to pick up the stone and pull the bow apart." Chen Xuanli's words were very simple, but they made people feel cold.
"This stone weighs 200 kilograms, right?"
"Is this bow a big dou or a stone?"
People looked at the stones and bows for a while, and they were talking and guessing.
"You are right, the stone weighs 200 kilograms." Chen Xuanli nodded and gave the answer.
"What? Two hundred kilograms? No?" A scream sounded, one after another, and lasted for a long time.
"Two hundred kilograms, this is too heavy, right?" Someone shouted and said, "King of Chu, this is not OK. Is this intentional embarrassment to us?"
"That's it, it was intentional?"
"I'm not going to let us join the King of Chu?"
The shouts were heard, and people were very dissatisfied.
Li Longji raised his hands and signaled people to silence, saying, "Is it difficult to pick up two hundred kilograms? Not difficult!"
"Two hundred pounds are not difficult, what is that difficult?" Although people respect Li Longji very much, they were dissatisfied with this and started shouting.
"Think about Mo Dao Hand. A Mo Dao Hand weighs fifty kilograms. There are also Mingguang Armor, Iron Box, and bows and arrows, which add up to hundreds of kilograms." Li Longji explained to people, saying: "How difficult is it to bear such a heavy burden and have to fight for a long time? It is much easier to pick up two hundred kilograms of stones than Mo Dao Hand."
"This..." People were speechless and had nothing to say.
The Modao Battle Formation is one of the three powerful weapons for the Tang army to dominate the world. The Tang people knew the most about how powerful it was. They also knew that Li Longji did not tell any lies.
The Tang army's Modao Hand is not competent by a strong man. It is so difficult for a long time to carry out equipment weighing hundreds of pounds.
The Mingguang Armor was the top armor in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to elites, it could only have it as an officer. Needless to say, its protection is very impressive. However, it is too heavy and worn on the body for a long time will be a huge test for physical strength.
For Mo Dao Hand, if there is no Mingguang Armor, it will be difficult to exert its huge power. Because it will be threatened by bows and arrows. With Mingguang Armor, bows and arrows will not have any threat to Mo Dao Hand. Only a powerful crossbow can pose a fatal threat to Mo Dao Hand.
As for bows and arrows, they are the basic equipment of the Tang army. They do not distinguish between troops, and each person has a bow and enough arrows.
"This bow is a hard bow." Chen Xuanli continued.
"One stone?" People exclaimed again.
"Isn't it a big dou? How could it be a single stone?" People were puzzled.
"If you want the King of Chu to take you in, you must pull a hard bow." Chen Xuanli had no intention of discussing.
The significance of Li Longji's recruitment this time is very important. If he wants to establish his own power, he must be elite, because this is the first group of troops. They will follow Li Longji to fight south and north, and many people will become officers or even generals. Therefore, Li Longji set the standard so high.
"This... I don't have the life to follow the King of Chu, so let's forget it." Many people withdrew, looking unwilling.
"As for the third level, it is to test whether your mind is flexible enough. We have our own way. I won't explain it for now. Let's pass the first two levels first." Chen Xuanli's eyes flashed and he said, "Are there any heroes coming to try it?"
"I'll do it!" As soon as Chen Xuanli finished speaking, a group of people rushed up immediately.
"Stand in front of them and compete with them." Chen Xuanli pointed at the soldiers.
These people walked to the soldiers and compared with the soldiers, none of them were bad.
"Congratulations, you passed the first level." Chen Xuanli was very satisfied with this result.
"Haha! We passed the first level." These people were very happy.
"The second level, start." Chen Xuanli ordered.
These people came to the stone and picked up the stone, which seemed very relaxed.
A stone weighing 200 pounds is actually not heavy. Any stronger man can pick it up, after all, it is explosive.
These people are very strong. Some people not only picked up the stones, but also threw them away, looking very relaxed.
Then, they went to shoot the bow, and it was still easy.
"Congratulations on passing the first two levels." Chen Xuanli nodded to Zhang and said, "The third level is tested by Sima."
"Come with me." Zhang said he took them to the house.
After a while, these people came back. Someone was very excited and shouted: "I can follow the King of Chu! I can follow the King of Chu!"
"This is all a question? It's so tricky and weird, but it won't make people live." The person who failed was dejected and looked ashamed to see people.
"What's the question?" The onlookers were very curious.
"He asked me, who is the grandfather of my seventh aunt's son's daughter-in-law's grandson?" a dejected man whispered, his face flushed.
"Do you still need to ask this? Your Son of the Seventh Aunt." Someone blurted out and said, "You can't even answer this. You deserve to be in danger of following the King of Chu."
"He asked you this? It's different from what I asked me." Another dejected man said, "He asked me why there was a black hole at the wellhead on a snowy day?"
"If the wellhead was not a black hole, what else could it be?" The onlookers were funny.
"But why did he say it was snowing?" The man was still dissatisfied.
"Which season in the wellhead is not a black hole? He said it was snowing, and it was confusion. You can't even distinguish such a simple confusion. If you go to the battlefield, can you distinguish the Turks?" Someone shouted loudly.
Zhang Shuo asked various questions, such as why the yellow dog turns white on snowy days and why the white dog turns swollen. He asked only one, and he answered it in three counts. If he exceeded it, he would be eliminated.
These people thought these questions were tricky and weird at the time, but after thinking about it, these questions were very simple and could be answered in a word. They were eliminated, and they were convinced.
In this way, people kept coming to run, some passed, and some were eliminated.
It soon became dark and the first day's move ended.
"King of Chu, today we have recruited more than 2,300 people!" Zhang said to report to Li Longji.
"More than 2,300? OK!" Li Longji was very satisfied with this number.
You should know that Li Longji's conditions for recruiting soldiers are much stricter than the requirements for recruiting soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. It would be great to have so many people. If he followed the conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, he would have a total of nearly four thousand.
This was a good start, and Li Longji was very happy.
The next day, I continued to attack Mo.
In this way, Li Longji bought a lot in Fengzhou.
Soon, the news of him recruiting troops spread.
Xiazhou, a tea shop is spreading a message.
"Do you know? The King of Chu recruited soldiers in Fengzhou."
"King of Chu, which King of Chu?"
"Who else do you have? Of course, he is the grandson of His Majesty and the third son of the imperial heir. I tell you, the King of Chu is amazing. He is a young hero, but he is only thirteen years old, but he is extremely intelligent and good at poetry. The song "Shuitu Songtou" can be regarded as a masterpiece of eternal songs."
"The King of Chu is good at fighting. He led three thousand reinforcements and could kill tens of thousands of Turks. He was even more courageous and went to the center of the Turks' camp and caught the Turks off guard, so he won a great victory in Fengzhou."
"The King of Chu is so great, I want to join the King of Chu!"
"I want to join the King of Chu, too!"
"Yes! Go to King Chu!"
Many people admire Li Longji and left Xiazhou and headed straight for Fengzhou.
