Chapter 262 This is the tactic!
Many people were excited by Sheng Zhixing's encouragement.
However, there were also very calm soldiers who raised doubts. They had been here for so long that they had already lost hope in their hearts: "But we old guys are so old, our memory is declining, and our bodies are not as good as before. We are getting more and more useless as we get older. Can we still hold on until the day when the prince returns to the capital?"
The medical level and nutritional conditions in ancient times were very poor, especially in these mountain valleys.
The physical fitness of ancient people was generally much worse than that of modern people.
"You're useless when you're old? Who said that?"
Sheng Zhixing frowned and said, "I am fifty-five years old now. Do you believe that I can beat two people at once and defeat the youngest soldier here?"
Jiang Lili on the side nodded repeatedly. Of course she believed it. Before Brother Sheng came through, he was an undercover agent. He seized a lair of more than 20 people and successfully escaped. He won first-class merit and received commendations!
Those criminals are all extremely vicious people who have killed many people and have hot weapons in their hands. The situation is much more dangerous than here.
The soldiers who were watching the scene were so excited that they felt their hearts sink again when they heard Sheng Zhixing's words. They thought Sheng Zhixing was just a good talker and said, "Is this true?"
"Old Sheng, what you said makes some sense, but that doesn't mean you can just say whatever you want."
……
Sheng Zhixing said to Hu Chen, "Marquis Hu, please go and ask the young men in your patrol team to come over."
As a loyal fan of Sheng Zhixing, County Magistrate Hu certainly believes that Sheng Zhixing can do it!
He quickly called Old Wu and the others over.
Two people came from the patrol team. Both of them were good fighters in the camp. After hearing Sheng Zhixing's request, they were both surprised and amused: "Fight with him?"
"And it's the two of us together?
When Old Wu and another soldier, Ni Zhuang, heard what County Magistrate Hu said, they felt like they were being looked down upon, and by an old man who was fifteen years older than them!
Ni Zhuang is the youngest person in the entire camp. He is only 29 years old, has a long scar at the corner of his eye, and is full of brute strength.
In his previous barracks, he was always assigned to do the most dangerous work.
Because he offended a powerful minor official, he was thrown to the south coast of Haizhou Island and his military achievements were robbed.
Ni Zhuang is the darling of the group here, but other veterans dare not treat him as their sons and all of them politely call him Brother Zhang.
The serious criminals detained in the camp were most afraid of Ni Zhuang.
However, Ni Zhuang had to patrol and take care of the prisoners, so he was unable to do both.
Ni Zhuang walked up to Sheng Zhixing and said, "I won't give in to you just because you have a good relationship with Hu Junshou and you are old."
"Yes, our Dan'er County barracks are indeed very different from other barracks."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ni Zhuang's eyes. He thought that the other party had just arrived and looked down on the people in their barracks. "But this does not mean that you can ride on our heads and act wildly. We are not cowards here!"
When the others heard Ni Zhuang's defense, they were moved and they calmed down.
Sheng Zhixing’s words are indeed inspiring, but the reality is cruel.
They didn't think Sheng Zhixing could beat Ni Zhuang, let alone if Old Wu came along.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhixing explained to Ni Zhuang in a gentle and elegant manner, with the look of an uncle patiently persuading a rebellious young man: "Young man, don't misunderstand, listen to my explanation."
"I don't mean to offend, on the contrary, I want these peers to see that just because we are older doesn't mean there is no hope."
“Stop talking nonsense!” Ni Zhuang took off the armor that was in the way and gestured to Sheng Zhixing with his bare chest: “I still have to go on patrol, don’t waste my time, old man.”
Seeing that Ni Zhuang refused to listen to his explanation, Sheng Zhixing took off his shirt helplessly.
At first, Ni Zhuang thought that Sheng Zhixing's body was bulging because he was old and afraid of the cold, so he wore more clothes, and he was fat. But he didn't expect that Sheng Zhixing's body was not bulging, but full of muscles!
Compared with Sheng Zhixing's kind and amiable grandfather-like face, the style of this face and body is too disjointed!
Others were stunned when they saw Sheng Zhixing's muscular physique. Was he definitely someone of their age?
This sturdy body looks like it was newly installed!
Can these old guys really train to this level?
The hearts of the surrounding soldiers, which had just calmed down, now felt a faint sense of hope breaking out again.
Intellectually, they didn't think Sheng Zhixing could win in a one-on-two fight, but expectations crept onto everyone's weathered faces. Perhaps, there really was a slight possibility?
Sheng Zhixing reminded him with concern: "Young man, I won't use any light force when I attack you, you really have to be careful."
Ni Zhuang's forehead twitched, and he finally understood why Sheng Zhixing was so confident.
However, seeing Sheng Zhixing nagging and preaching like his grandfather, with such a serious tone, he felt annoyed.
This old man is old and likes to talk about reason. He probably doesn't have much practical experience. He definitely can't compare to me in terms of ruthlessness!
He wanted to make the old man realize that the enemy on the battlefield would not go easy on you just because you are old.
Ni Zhuang loosened his wrist and asked Hu Chen, "Marquis Hu, let me confirm again, if I hit him and caused his old illness to relapse, or if I injured him, he won't blame me, right?"
County Magistrate Hu looked at Sheng Zhixing. Sheng Zhixing was indeed strong and sturdy, but wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for him to fight two people alone?
Sheng Zhixing said firmly: "No, since I have made this request, it proves that I am ready to bear the consequences."
As Ni Zhuang spoke, he swung his fist directly at Sheng Zhixing's vital parts.
However, before his fist could reach Sheng Zhixing, Sheng Zhixing grabbed his hands and tied them behind his back.
Sheng Zhixing pressed Ni Zhuang to the ground with his knees: "Young man, do you think our misunderstanding has been resolved?"
Ni Zhuang was pressed by Sheng Zhixing's knee and felt extremely humiliated, his face flushed.
The soldiers who were watching were instantly excited when they saw this scene!
We won, and we won so quickly!
There was still a feeling of unreality in everyone's hearts.
After Sheng Zhixing pushed Ni Zhuang to the ground, he habitually touched his waist and found that there were no handcuffs, so he released him: "Sorry, it's a professional habit."
As soon as Ni Zhuang was released, he immediately turned over and jumped up with a somersault. He never thought that he would lose, and lose so quickly.
He brushed off the sand on his body, feeling very unconvinced: "I underestimated you. I saw that you were older, so I let you go."
"You're using age to make people let down their guard."
Sheng Zhixing nodded proudly: "Yes, age does make people relax their vigilance. This is also the advantage of old men like us. Even if we blend into the crowd, the burly young people will stand out more than old men like us."
"Being old is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Making good use of one's own conditions is a tactic."
