Chapter 433 Strong and Weak

Since the establishment of Dajin, it has always paid attention to maintaining the Jurchens' superiority in force over the Han people.However, with the collapse of the Jurchens Meng'an Mouke system, the decline of the Jurchens' martial arts is inevitable.

Therefore, starting from the Mingchang period, the imperial court took a strong and suppressed attitude towards the custom of Han children forming associations and practicing martial arts.

It's ridiculous that at the same time that this crime was established, the court was busy fighting against powerful enemies from the north and the south, and more and more Han'er were signed.

As a result, the practice of passing guns and sticks among the people has not been curbed, and the training methods originally mastered by the Jurchen warriors in the army have been spread to the people on a large scale.

As the Song State of the Southern Dynasty said, "There are six out of thirty weapons, and eight out of ten in martial arts."Fighting techniques in the military and folk martial arts have developed independently and merged continuously in the past few decades.

Li Quan is a good player who integrates the two into one, and then takes it to a higher level.When he established himself in Weizhou, he practiced martial arts under the witness of Wanjun.

Many people witnessed that while riding a horse at full speed, he continuously stabbed the four wooden figures placed at intervals of thirty steps, and hit the five-inch square wooden board on the wooden figures' heads.

This method of rushing forward is the usual training method for the elite knights of the Jin Army, and it is also a compulsory item for the martial arts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In these years, there are only a handful of Jurchens who can do this.And when Li Quan stabbed so swiftly, he didn't even use an ordinary wooden spear, but his usual iron spear.This gun claims to weigh 45 kilograms!
This kind of skill, fighting in the army, is really a game of ten.Relying on his own skills, Li Quan built up his prestige little by little, rallied his troops, and whenever he met a strong enemy, he rode forward with an iron spear and was never unstoppable.

The rise of warriors is reckless, and such routines are inevitable.

From a certain point of view, Li Quan, Yang An'er and Guo Ning have similar behavior styles.The same is to rely on personal force to establish a basic team, and then deal with political forces, and continue to grab political benefits with victories on the battlefield.

It's just that Yang An'er pays more attention to his anti-gold banner, while Guo Ning's eyes are fixed on Mongolia.Compared with these two, Li Quan is more realistic and has a softer figure.

Even their combat style is average.All three of them are used to relying on their own force, leading the elite to make a decisive blow.

Before today, Li Quan had never failed.Therefore, he felt that his own force was not inferior to Guo Ning, and he could compete with Guo Ning on the battlefield.Even if there is a gap in military strength and equipment, it can be made up for by grasping the timing and commanding before the battle. Whoever can seize the opportunity will win.

But Li Quan never imagined in his dreams that he would suffer such humiliation when the day came for a face-to-face confrontation.

His camp has been broken.The elites he entangled with had already lost their hearts before they even started the battle.

Li Quan turned around, only to see thousands of people, scattered in two or three miles from the reed marsh to the Tieling platform.Several officers shouted, trying to urge their subordinates to move forward, but no one responded at all, so the officers could only stand in a daze in despair.

These soldiers are all carefully selected masters.Li Quan's military order, Li Quan's prestige, could have driven them like arms and fingers, no one dared to hesitate and neglect, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire, they would follow Li Quan closely.

But when they lose their fighting spirit and motivation, they feel no different from clumps of withered and yellow reeds.

The reason is very simple, they never expected that they would see such a tragic scene with their own eyes.

The camp is lost!Everyone's relatives and family members have all fallen into the hands of the enemy!How can the soldiers continue to fight?
Don't say that the soldiers didn't think of it, and Li Quan himself didn't think of it either.

Since Li Quan started his army, he has always been under the banner of protecting the environment and the people.Whether he is in Yidu or Weizhou, he always takes good care of the families of the soldiers and ensures the safety of his basic territory.

The reason why he did not hesitate to reach a tacit understanding with the Mongolian army that day was, to a certain extent, to consider that wherever the Mongolian army went, the city walls were all ruins, and he and his subordinates would not allow their hometown to suffer such a catastrophe.

It can be said that this approach is the source of the cohesion of Li Quan's troops and the reason why Li Quan's troops are different from other red coat troops.

Although he is a powerful member of the Red Coat Army, his identity has always been more similar to that of a local tyrant than a bandit; therefore, the envoy of the Shandong Commander at that time and the current Hebei Xuanfu envoy accepted the cooperation with Li Quan one after another. .

But now, the camp is lost?

Even if Li Quan pinned all his hopes of victory on the surprise attack on Tieling, he only brought Tian Si's troops with him, and let Chen Zhi and Zheng Yande, two generals with elite soldiers, stationed in the battalion.

But the navy suddenly appeared.Facing the attack of Ding Haijun, Chen Zhi and Zheng Yande led more than 1 troops, but they only persisted for a little more than a moment?
God is sorry, in a little more than a quarter, I, Li Quan, led my men and ran all the way from the swamp, and the camp collapsed before we could fight the defenders on Tieling.

How can this be so?

Li Quan closed his eyes and breathed in the cold air forcefully, as if this could suppress the surging panic.He desperately cheered up and asked himself, what should we do next?
He suddenly heard, right beside him, someone was crying.

His thoughts were disturbed all of a sudden, panic suddenly replaced by strong anger, Li Quan suddenly opened his eyes, wanting to kill this crying weak person in one fell swoop.

But when he raised his iron gun, he realized that the crying person was Yu Mang'er, a young man who had practiced martial arts with Li Quan for several years.

Yu Mang'er is the son of Yu Yang.Yu Yang and Yu Tan brothers are Li Quan's most trusted subordinates.On that day, Wanyan Sala suddenly turned his face and tried to arrest and kill Li Quan. The two Yu brothers resisted desperately, and exchanged their lives for Li Quan's.

From then on, Li Quan regarded Yu Mang'er as his nephew, and even regarded him as one of his heirs.Yu Mang'er lived up to Li Quan's expectations, and made extremely fast progress no matter in practicing martial arts or the art of war.

But at this moment, Yu Mang'er lost control of her emotions.

It was precisely because of Yu Mang'er's progress in martial arts and art of war that he understood what kind of strength Ding Hai had shown.This is a crushing, unstoppable force, even the Mongolian army is nothing more than that, right?
Like Yu Mang'er, those who followed Li Quan were veterans or experts.And precisely because of their rich experience and accurate judgment, they also saw that the gap between the two sides could not be bridged at all, which made people completely desperate.

The moment they stopped for a while, the soldiers in the camp had already retreated to the banks of the Beiqing River.Yu Mang'er saw hundreds of his comrades throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing to the river bank with nowhere to escape.Some people jumped into the water and floated downstream with the force of the water; some people were trapped by the mud on the river bank and could not move; some people, including many women and children, stood by the water and cried loudly.

This cry was a heavy blow to Mang'er.In the past two years, he went into battle several times, and also confronted local tyrants from all walks of life around Yidu who refused to accept Li Quan, destroying their force and making their women and children cry like this.

Yu Mang'er was taught that a warrior's heart should be as hard as a stone, and seeing this situation, he must not show mercy or waver.But at this moment, seeing his family's women and children crying and crying by the river, he couldn't bear it at all.

"My mother, and my elder sister are all in the camp." Yu Mang'er cried out in a crying voice.

He saw Ding Haijun in iron armor behind him, rushing like a surge of metal.Will they kill everyone, or force everyone to surrender?Maybe it will drive so many people into the water and let them drown?

Yu Mang'er frantically speculated, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

When he finally heard Ding Haijun shouting "Kneel down and don't kill, those who surrender don't kill", he couldn't help but muttered: "Surrender..."

He turned to Li Quan and said bitterly: "Marshal, let's surrender, just like surrendering Wanyan Sala and servant San Anzhen before. Surrender first, and then think of other ways."
