Chapter 148: I am ready for war, Fang La attacks the city
"Fang Geng, you want to join the army, kill Fang La's brother and sister and other rebels, serve the country, and avenge the annihilation of your family;
Then, I give you this opportunity.
However, the officers and soldiers I brought to quell the chaos this time are all well-trained.
If you can defeat one or two Imperial Guard soldiers, I will specially summon you to join the army!
Do you dare to give it a try?"
Fang Geng heard that Zhao Guan's family asked him to compete with one or two forbidden soldiers. As long as he could win, he could be called into the army.
This black boy was still young and energetic, and he actually said arrogantly:
"Fang Geng, a common man, is willing to compete with the Forbidden Army. One or two Forbidden Soldiers compete with me. How can the officials see my ability as a common man?
You can bring five or six Imperial Guards together to fight me at the same time."
"Haha!" Zhao Ji was quite happy to hear the confident words of the big black man Fang Geng. After all, Fang Geng, who can make a mark in history books, must have some skills, right?!
"Okay!" Zhao Ji ordered: "Six of the Dongcheng Forbidden Army go down and compete with Fang Geng."
Wang Xun personally selected six well-trained imperial soldiers and went down to the city...
Zhao Ji stood on the city, looked down, and asked: "Fang Geng, what weapon do you use?"
Fang Geng knelt down and said: "The common people don't use weapons, they only use this pole. If the common people use weapons, they are afraid that they will miss and kill the imperial guards, which will be bad."
Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Even so, I will ask the six forbidden soldiers in the lower city who are competing with you to put down their swords and guns and replace them with sticks to compete with you, right?"
"Fang Geng, a common man, thanks the officials for their kindness."
Fang Geng said loudly: "The Imperial Guards who compete with me don't need to use sticks, they can just use the swords and guns they have at their disposal.
If Fang Geng, a common man, cannot defeat these six forbidden soldiers, wouldn't his seven years of martial arts training be in vain?
How could I take the heads of Fang La's brother and sister in the enemy's army to avenge my blood feud?
Zhao Ji looked at Fang Geng's confident look and thought to himself, of course it's good to be confident, but only if you have real skills can you have the capital to be confident! Otherwise, it would be frivolous.
Zhao Ji announced: "The competition begins."
Fang Geng held the pole in his hand, facing three imperial soldiers carrying long spears and three holding swords. He stood calmly and calmly, just leaning the pole on his left shoulder, ready to respond to the challenge at any time.
preparation.
The six Imperial Guards were very angry when they heard Fang Geng's contempt for them.
Wouldn't this belittle these forbidden troops in front of Zhao Guan's family?
For the sake of face, I have to defeat this big black guy!
The leading forbidden soldier said: "Brothers, let's fight this big black guy, but don't kill him, just don't beat him to death.
After a while, I'll wait for the three spear wielders to stab his legs together, and you and the knife wielders to chop off his shoulders and arms. We'll surround him and then we'll all attack together."
"Okay!" The six Imperial Guards had finished their discussion and immediately spread out in a semicircle, then quickly closed up again, half-surrounding Fang Geng.
"Kill!"
Three spears stabbed Fang Geng's left and right legs at the same time,
Three simple knives slashed down at the same time, coming towards Fang Geng's shoulders and right arm...
Fang Geng, who was always preparing for defense, held the pole diagonally, his knees slightly arched, and his eyes widened, not daring to blink.
He saw six forbidden soldiers attacking him together, and when he saw that the eyeless swords and spears were about to hit him, Fang Geng suddenly jumped back and jumped six or seven feet away.
If it's a standing long jump, jumping six or seven feet, that's not a big deal, after all, it's a forward jump.
At this time, Fang Geng was trying to avoid the sword and gun attacks of the six Imperial Guards. He simply jumped back five to six feet away and easily dodged the first wave of attacks.
The six Imperial Guards were all very surprised that this big black man could react so quickly. Suddenly, he would jump so far back to avoid the attacks of swords and guns.
The three spears and three simple knives all failed, and before the six forbidden soldiers could withdraw their troops;
Suddenly, Fang Geng suddenly jumped forward and came to the six forbidden soldiers who had failed to take back their first move.
Fang Geng grinned, showing his white teeth, and swung the pole horizontally with unusual swiftness...
"call"……
The vigorously waving pole brings the sound of howling wind...
The pole in Fang Geng's hand did not strike directly at the bodies of the six forbidden soldiers, but only swept towards their weapons...
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dang-ding-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dangdang by one one by one by one.
The shoulder pole that swept across was fast, swift, and powerful, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. It swept all the swords and guns in the hands of the six forbidden soldiers to the ground.
"Ah..." The six forbidden soldiers all felt that their hands were numb from the shock. When they lowered their heads and looked at their tiger's mouths, they all felt that they were broken by the shock, and blood flowed out.
Fang Geng waved the pole again, but it just swept over the heads of the six imperial soldiers...
Then, Fang Geng withdrew his move, leaned on a pole, and knelt down to Zhao Guan's family who was looking at him from the city, saying:
"Fang Geng, a common man, pays tribute to the officials. With his martial arts skills, can this common man join the army?"
Zhao Ji, who was holding on to the battlements and looking down, saw Fang Geng's one-on-six fight throughout the whole process, but wasn't this fight too fast?!
Zhao Ji didn't enjoy watching it at all, because it ended before he could see it clearly.
However, Zhao Ji knows that only fast martial arts in the world are unbreakable.
Although Fang Geng's martial arts moves don't have so many fancy routines, they are still very practical!
Traveler Zhao Ji knew that the reason why Fang Geng was recorded in the history books was not only because his father Fang Youlizheng, but also his mother, his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, a family of forty-two, were brought along by Fang La.
The reason why the rebels were massacred.
What's more, the nineteen-year-old Fang Geng, who escaped the catastrophe of annihilation of his family, vowed to take revenge and later joined the army.
Fang Geng was familiar with the local terrain and served as a guide for the officers and soldiers, leading Han Shizhong and other officers and soldiers to search the mountains and attack caves. He played a key role in leading the way for Han Shizhong to capture Fang La alive while hiding in the cave.
Zhao Ji looked down at the big black man Fang Geng kneeling under the city, and thought to himself: According to the official history, you Fang Geng made meritorious service when the army put down the Fangla Uprising. You were named Chengxin Lang, inherited your father's position, and became a li
Zheng, and served as Weiping Inspection Department and Photographer of the Town. This is a small official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, you Fang Geng also participated in suppressing the peasant uprisings such as Sun Zhong, Ni Congqing, Jiang Bingzhe, and Yu Ba.
In the third year of Jianyan, when the Jin soldiers attacked the city of Hangzhou, Fang Geng showed your patriotism with practical actions. You led the local armed forces and actually dared to fight against Jin Wushu (i.e. Wanyan Zongbi) in Niushan, Tonglu.
They fought with each other and captured Jin Wushu's beloved concubine...
Zhao Ji analyzed that in history, the local armed forces led by Fang Geng were able to fight against the troops of Jin Wushu (ie Wanyan Zongbi). Most of them should be similar to guerrilla warfare, right?!
The opponent may not be the main force of the Jin Army. As for the concubine who captured Jin Wushu, the name of that concubine is not recorded in the history books. This absolutely excludes the fact that the captured concubine of Jin Wushu was a member of the Song Dynasty royal family.
A woman; otherwise, her name will definitely be left in the history books.
Were most of the concubines captured by Jin Wushu the family members of the officials or civilians whom he had robbed?
…
When Fang Geng saw that Zhao Guan's family in the city did not answer, he asked loudly:
"Does an official or civilian like Fang Geng, with his martial arts skills, qualify to join the army?"
"Fang Geng, please be patient! I will answer you after I ask the generals around me."
"Fang Geng, a common man, obeys the decree." Fang Geng knelt down and replied.
However, he was agitated in his heart. He felt that because of his martial arts skills, he could easily defeat six forbidden soldiers by one person, so he shouldn't be qualified to join the army, right?
Is it because my hometown has been occupied by the Fang La bandit army and my household registration cannot be verified, so I cannot be recruited into the army?
Zhao Ji, who was on the city, smiled slightly, looked at Wuzhou observation envoy and infantry commander Wang Zhen, who had been in the army for more than 20 years, and asked:
"Wang Tongzhi, I love you, look at that big black man Fang Geng, how are his martial arts skills?"
Wang Zhen bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that Fang Geng was able to quickly defeat six forbidden soldiers with just one move. He is truly a rare and powerful general!
However, I wonder how Fang Geng’s riding and shooting skills are?"
Zhao Ji nodded knowingly.
He knew that Wang Zhen's answer was, firstly, because he had a love for his talent, and secondly, by reminding me that Fang Geng's riding and shooting issue was also to help the six forbidden soldiers and even Wang Zhen himself regain face.
After all, in the Song Dynasty, if you wanted to be a general, you would have to test your riding and archery skills even in the martial arts examination.
Zhao Ji asked loudly: "Fang Geng below the city, how are your riding and shooting skills?"
Fang Geng scratched his head and said with shame: "Fang Geng, a common man, has never shot an arrow!
The common people just want to join the army and become soldiers so that they can rush to the front and kill more Fang La rebels.
How can I be an infantry soldier? Do I need to know how to ride a horse and shoot an arrow?
I have never ridden a horse, but I have ridden an ox.
I used to herd cattle when I was a boy, and I actually rode my own cattle. However, in order to go on a long trip and visit famous martial arts masters, I secretly sold my cattle and used the money to buy an iron sword.
The money was used as travel expenses..."
