Chapter 591 Guo Gui’s request(3/3)
However, the purpose of the Baojia Law is to "join the army with Ding".
Therefore, relatively simple, there are only formal heads and deputy heads.
For other positions, the Dutou and the deputy Dutou will be appointed by themselves.
Of course, the government will not admit what they appointed.
There is no preferential treatment.
Guo Gui was overjoyed when he heard this. He came to ask for the capital, but in fact he was ready to have only one ten generals or even a lieutenant.
Now, I can get the name of a deputy head.
It really made him very happy!
Immediately, I bowed my head and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"I will repay you with great kindness and virtue!"
"Don't rush to thank you!" Wang Dafu said coldly: "What I can give is just a chance."
"It depends on your martial arts skills whether you succeed in the specific situation!"
"Although the deputy head of the baoan commander is no better than the deputy head of the imperial guards, he has no name and no share, and only has his salary."
"But there are many heroes in Xihe. If you want to convince the public, you must have good martial arts."
"In two days, you will follow me to Nanguan Fort and come to Xiangdu Superintendent to test your martial arts and compete with other heroes."
As he said that, Wang Dafu asked, "Guo Gui, how about your shooting skills?"
Guo Gui replied: "To be honest, my ancestors have also been the head of the infantry and tiger wing army. I have never forgotten the skills of my ancestors!"
Wang Daxun said oh, not surprisingly, since Guo Gui was able to become friends with his younger brother Daqian, he naturally had the same origin.
And pulling the bow and catching the arrow are the basic skills of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
In the Imperial Army in Beijing, almost everyone has good archery skills.
Normally, it’s normal to get two or three out of ten steps and five or six out of ten steps.
Even now, the elite shooters of the Fourth Army can still be able to stand in front of the enemy, with 30 to 10 out of 10 steps, and 60 to 7 within 50 steps.
Unfortunately, times have changed.
The enemies facing the Song Dynasty were not afraid of the traditional volley of bows and crossbows of the Song Dynasty.
Especially the elites of the Western thieves, Iron Harrier, Poxi Army and the heavy infantry in the Capturing Army.
Either they have powerful long-range projection firepower, heavy cavalry with heavy armor, or heavy infantry wearing wart armor made of refined pig iron.
Especially the iron kite, all the men and horses were armored, as if they were cavalrymen rushing out of the ancient battlefields of the Northern and Southern Dynasties hundreds of years ago.
It looks very retro, partial, and traditional Song infantry, and there is nothing we can do about them.
In the past, the Song Dynasty attached too much importance to crossbows and despised melee combat.
So, at Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan and Dingchuan Village were beaten to the point of collapse by the Western thieves.
In addition to the lack of cavalry, the biggest reason is that the melee combat is too poor.
When Wang Dafu was a child, he heard uncles in the army talk about the scenes of the Western thieves rebelling.
When the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty fought at a long distance, they could usually shoot the Western thief wolf and the pig thief through dense rain of arrows.
But once the Western thief cavalry approached, the formation of the imperial guards could not be maintained immediately.
This is why the iron kites of the Western thieves were able to defeat the Song Dynasty repeatedly.
Learning from the pain, the Song Dynasty now attaches great importance to hand-to-hand combat.
Iron mace and heavy axe have become the standard for elites, and their salary and rewards are several times higher than those of others.
The reason why Wang Dafu's father named their brother Dafu was that when they grew up, they could get a big axe and a big gun and eat a salary of seven or eight cents a month.
Wang Dafu has also been determined to do this since he was a child, so he has never stopped practicing his own skills.
Therefore, even when we arrived at Xihe Road, relying on our skillful heavy axe skills, Wang Daxun could suppress those arrogant soldiers and convince them.
Of course, Wang Dafu also knew that it was really embarrassing to ask a Baoding to master it and use it in a melee weapon like the Iron Mace and the Heavy Axe.
Then he asked, "Then can you use a Park Knife?"
The Pu Dao was a relatively ordinary melee weapon in the Song Dynasty. In this era when melee combat gradually became the norm of war, this big knife that can be used with both hands gradually became a common weapon of the Song Dynasty infantry.
Guo Gui said, "I know some. I was in Hebei last year and asked my brother Daqiu for advice!"
Wang Dafu nodded and said, "That's good!"
