Fenghou

Zhao Xiaoyi hesitated and said, "But we don't know what competitions there are."

Chen Qing waved his hands and smiled: "It's just those types, archery, military formation, actual combat confrontation, etc. There will definitely be no riding and archery, nor will there be water battles. The key is that we know that the competition is conducted according to battalion. 500 people, and in order to prevent cheating, the event may be announced temporarily, but as long as we are fully prepared and formulate multiple plans, we can completely deal with it temporarily."

Hu Yantong said for a long while, "The leader is actually selecting the elite among 500 people."

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "That's right, others select the elite from among tens of thousands of people. We don't have that condition, so we can only select the high ones from the short ones."

Chen Qing's plan was unanimously supported by everyone. In the morning, everyone finalized eight plans, formed eight mobile battalions, and formulated eight corresponding order flags.

Then according to each soldier's strengths, they were assigned to eight different combat battalions, and some of the strongest soldiers even joined five battalions at the same time.

After the plan is finalized, different combination training will be carried out every day, so that every soldier can know their respective positions.

On the sidelines of the school, Chen Qing smiled and patted Zheng Ping on the shoulder, "Let's talk here."

Zheng Ping came to the side with him in a daze, and Chen Qing asked in a low voice, "Where did you say you can buy crotons in the morning?"

Zheng Ping's eyes widened all of a sudden, "What?"

……

Time flies, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the competition is getting closer and closer.

This morning, Chen Qing and Hu Yantong came to the new martial arts school. The new martial arts school was built on the bank of the Qiantang River, about [-] miles away from Lin'an City, covering an area of ​​about [-] acres. The school field alone has [-] acres. Shooting, you can gallop on horseback.

There is even a huge wharf where the water army can be trained in the Qiantang River.

This is not only a place for studying martial arts exams, but also a training place for the generals of the Song Dynasty. It is the highest military school of the Song Dynasty.

In the Martial Arts Hall, hundreds of officials and generals gathered together. Zhu Shengfei, a scholar of Guanwendian and a servant of the Ministry of War, is reading out the will of the emperor. His qualifications are higher than that of Li Hui, a privy official. Zhu Shengfei has become the leader of the recruit training competition By.

More than seventy generals gathered together, and everyone stood upright, listening attentively to the emperor's instructions.

Hu Yantong touched Chen Qing with his elbow, pouted forward, and said in a low voice: "The youngest one is Yue Fei!"

Chen Qing cheered up and looked behind Zhu Shengfei. There were seven generals standing behind him, wearing silver helmets. These were all generals above vice-dutong. Chen Qing only knew two people, one was Han Shizhong and the other was Zhu Shengfei. Sun Wo, Sun Wo was originally the commander of the Western Army. He was favored and was strongly recommended by Li Hui, who knew the secret affairs, as the deputy commander of the Shenwu Central Army, that is, Liu Guangshi's deputy.

In addition to Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Sun Wo, Li Heng, and Ju Shigu, there is also a young Dutong about 30 years old, who should be Yue Fei.

When Chen Qing saw Yue Fei, he had a serious expression, sharp eyes, a long square face, and arrow-like eyebrows. He was indeed handsome and talented.

Next, Li Hui announced the rules of the martial arts competition. There are three parts: preliminary competition, semi-final competition and final competition. The preliminary competition is divided into five groups of gold, wood, water, fire and soil. The top two teams with the highest points will participate in the semi-finals. The semi-finals are knockout matches. The five teams that have eliminated their opponents will enter the finals. The last day is the selection of new generals.

The next step is to draw lots in groups. The chief generals of each team stepped forward to draw lots. Chen Qing stepped forward. At this moment, he saw Wang Bo. Wang Bo's army was the third martial arts army. Among the fifteen martial arts armies, lots were drawn. And Chen Qing drew lots in the regular army.

Wang Bo also saw Chen Qing, he stared at Chen Qing with a half-smile, took out a lottery and left.

Chen Qing also drew a lottery from the regular army, which was a fire lottery.

The fire lottery is the fourth group, Hu Yantong whispered to Chen Qing: "Cao De also got the fire lottery!"

Chen Qing witnessed Cao De's [-] troops. They were selected from tens of thousands of recruits. They were tall, well-trained, and powerful, even surpassing veterans who had served in the army for many years.

Chen Qing had always suspected that they were the imperial army before, and they were recruited again after the team broke up and went home, so they were also considered as recruits.

This is also the advantage of Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others. They recruit tens of thousands of recruits, with a large base, and then select elites from tens of thousands of people, so each army is very strong, unlike myself, it is not at all There is no choice.

At this time, Hu Yantong came back after inquiring about the news, and said with a smile to Chen Qing: "I just found out that Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun made a request that they should not be grouped together, otherwise it would be unfair to them. The army of Zhang Jun, Han Dutong, Yue Fei, and Li Heng was considered the preferred army. They drew lots yesterday, five groups, one team for each group. The strong player in our group is Cao De's army, and there is no one else. "

Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, if Yue Fei's army teamed up with him again, it would be a big headache, maybe even the team would not be able to get out of the line.

……

The entire recruit training contest lasted for five days in total. The first day was the group match, the second day was the rematch, the third day was a day off, the fourth day was the final, and the fifth day was the rookie contest.

As for what the reward is, it has not been announced yet, and everyone is full of expectations.

On the second day of June, a large camp appeared in the wilderness outside Wuxue. The camp was ten miles long and five miles wide, and could accommodate an army of 10 people.

The tents in the big camp are invisible at a glance. The 35 teams have as many as 2000 people and as few as 1000 people. All of them have moved into the big camp the day before. The big camp is divided into forty areas. The area is called B[-] area, which consists of [-] large tents.

A big flag stands in the center of the big tent, with the words "Western Army" written on it.

The atmosphere in the camp was lively, full of laughter and laughter, every army was eager to try, eager to seize the opportunity of this contest.

……

The application time was 02:30 pm, and the competition stipulated that the project draw should be carried out fifteen minutes in advance, that is, the lottery would start at [-]:[-].

Chen Qing came to the school field with [-] soldiers. The first three games were over, and six teams stood out and entered the semi-finals first.

The seven teams lined up neatly on the school field, waiting for the moment of the draw.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

The drums sounded, and an official of the Ministry of War shouted: "The leaders of each team come out!"

The seven generals came to a small table, on which there was a stick. The official in charge picked up the stick and shook it for a while, and a stick jumped out. The official slowly pulled it out. It was a yellow lottery: fifty miles run!

The seven generals breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was afraid of being drawn into the military formation. The military formation is scored, which is too subjective, and it is very likely that the scoring will be unfair. As for running, this is the basic training of the army, and it is a problem for all troops. not big.

"I'll tell you the rules!"

The chief said loudly to the crowd: "Each army sends 500 people, each takes a number plate, and runs to 25 miles away, where there are officials waiting, the soldiers exchange the number plate in their hands for another number plate, and then run Back to the finish line.

I am here to warn everyone that both sides of the two number plates must be registered, and will be checked at the end. If there is cheating, the team will be eliminated directly. to someone else. "

Chapter 82 Race

Chen Qing walked up to the 500 people and held up a blue flag, which means running and training. The [-] soldiers began to quickly adjust their ranks.

A new participating battalion was formed, and five hundred soldiers lined up neatly. Their specialty was running.

Soon, there were only seven teams with 500 people left on the school field. Each participating soldier received a wooden number plate with a rope on it that could be wrapped around his wrist.

"Ready, let's go!"

The chief official gave an order, and the drums blared loudly. Fifty leading cavalry rushed out first, and [-] soldiers followed the fifty leading cavalry to the outside of the school grounds.

Running is not like military formation and archery. It is basic training. Almost every army has to do running training, even the army trained by martial arts students.

Army formation and archery require experience, so running is beneficial to the less experienced martial arts student team, but then again, each army is selected from the elite, and the natural physical strength is also the best, so running is also beneficial to the army.

Each of the seven teams has its own advantages and disadvantages, so which two teams will win, everything is in suspense.

……

A fifty-mile round-trip run is equivalent to a half-marathon, which can be completed in more than half an hour under normal circumstances.

More importantly, soldiers don't have to carry heavy weapons and supplies as usual, and it will be easier to run.

But this is also the case, the competition is more intense. Five hundred soldiers of the Western Army followed Liu Qiong to run. Liu Qiong was also famous for running in the Western Army. His father cultivated his running endurance since he was a child. After joining the army, he often took soldiers for long-distance training. Very rich.

"Everyone run out of rhythm!" Liu Qiong shouted.

Gradually, all the soldiers followed him and ran in a consistent rhythm, and the sound of "Ka Ka Ka" neatly running echoed on the official road.

The soldiers run very fast, and the biggest benefit of running like this is that there is a collective strength to support individual will, which greatly reduces the fatigue of each soldier.

Similar to the Western Army, Cao De's army also gathered hundreds of people to run, and followed closely behind the Western Army.

The two armies followed closely on the official road to guide the cavalry, which was very eye-catching, while the other teams were broken up, and a group of more than a dozen people ran on the official road without forming a large scale.

The turning point came. Dozens of officials changed the badges and registered soldiers on the side of the official road.At this time the tactics changed, Liu Qiong suddenly accelerated his speed, and two hundred soldiers followed him closely. They ran faster and faster, even surpassing the leading cavalry.

The Western Army team quickly split into three parts. At this time, Cao De's army also began to speed up. The previous team slowly stretched and dissipated, and the outstanding ones stood out.

Dozens of soldiers ran faster and faster, even surpassing the leading Western Army team.

Dozens more scattered soldiers overtook them.

"Don't worry, keep the rhythm!"

Liu Qiong did not desperately chase the nearly one hundred opponents who surpassed him, but continued to stabilize the rhythm and maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, but he was not too far away from the leader, and he always bit the opponent.

At this time, Zheng Ping appeared beside the official road, and he shouted: "There are still five miles!"

This is also Chen Qing's strategy, someone must remind Liu Qiong of the distance.

There are still five miles, which means that it has reached the sprint stage.

Liu Qiong turned around and shouted, "Brothers, fight with me."

Liu Qiong started sprinting with two hundred soldiers, and the soldiers began to run with all their strength, and soon surpassed Cao De by dozens of soldiers.

The opponent was also in a hurry, and ran as fast as he could.

The two teams chased after each other, and after running for two miles, Liu Qiong's collective strategy began to show its power, and his physical strength became stronger. They opened the distance from Cao De's army, and soon overtook the scattered soldiers one by one.

Less than a mile away from martial arts, the group army led by Liu Qiong surpassed No.1, which has always been leading.

Liu Qiong ran faster and faster, two hundred soldiers followed him closely, and the crowd rushed into the gate of martial arts like lightning.

Hu Yantong shouted: "There are still two hundred steps left, fight!"

At this time, all the soldiers began to work hard, but the Western Army was unsurpassed.

Liu Qiong led two hundred soldiers across the finish line in an unstoppable manner.

Chen Qing, who was waiting here, stepped forward excitedly and hugged Liu Qiong and the soldiers.

Zhao Xiaoyi led the logistics soldiers and quickly stepped forward with sugar water.

Liu Guangshi, the governor of the capital, and the chief officers were stunned. The Western Army came together with 200 people, and most of the first [-] people were divided among them.Is this still a way out for others?

……

The drums of celebration in the camp were loud, and the victorious army rejoiced and beamed, and rewarded the soldiers by slaughtering pigs and sheep.

But the failed barracks was silent, the soldiers were downcast, and the generals complained to each other, but there was no way, most of the soldiers were doomed to serve as foils.

Most of the teams were eliminated on the first day of the competition. Among the 35 teams, only ten teams entered the semi-finals.

Cao De's army also entered the semi-finals, running the remaining [-] indicators, they grabbed [-], ranked second in the fire group, and successfully advanced.

The draw of lots for the rematch was held in the Yanwu hall of martial arts, and Takayoga, a doctor of the Ministry of War, was in charge of the draw.In the lobby, Gao Yong was chatting with several generals. At this moment, an official stepped forward and gave him a wink. Gao Yong smiled apologetically and walked aside with the official.

"What's up!"

The official said in a low voice, "Wang Bo said to change his previous plan. He asked to confront Liu Guangshi's army."

Gao Yong frowned, and he was really dissatisfied: "What tricks are they doing? They want me to take special care of them for a while, and they have to change their plans for a while. Does he think Liu Guangshi's army is weak?"

"The specific reason is not clear, but they must have given up on the previous plan. Beizhi thinks this is actually good. At least the confrontation with Liu Guangshi's army will not arouse everyone's suspicion."

Qin Hui greeted Gao Yong and asked him to take care of Wang Bo as appropriate. Before Wang Bo's team was drawn in the army, he had relaxed his scoring. Wang Bo's army entered the semi-finals with the first place in the group.

Wang Bo also asked to play against the Western Army in the rematch. Gao Yong fully understood this requirement. The Western Army's foundation is very weak. It is the Ximenxiang Army in Lin'an. gap.

Wang Bo obviously wanted to pick up soft peaches.

Of course, the premise is that the Western Army can only be arranged if they reach the semi-finals.

But Wang Bo actually wanted to fight against the powerful Cao De army. I really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?

A sneer appeared on the corner of Gao Yong's mouth, since he wants to seek death by himself, then let him be fulfilled!

"When!" The bell rang for the lottery.

The lottery is drawn by Gao Yong. There are ten lots in total, and two lots are drawn once.

Divide into five pairs and fight each other.Under the gaze of the captains of the ten teams, Gao Yong drew the first pair.

"The Third Army of Martial Arts vs. the Right Army of Shenwu"

The Third Martial Arts Army is Wang Bo's team, and the Shenwu Right Army is Cao De's army.

Wang Bo glanced at Chen Qing from a distance, secretly annoyed in his heart, he always wanted to take advantage of Chen Qing, the Xiang army was very weak, even though Chen Qing's army took the first place in the Huozi group, it was running and could not change the nature of the Xiang army's weak brigade .

It's just that at a critical moment, his uncle actually asked him to choose Cao De's army instead, which was Liu Guangshi's army!

Wang Bo was unwilling, but he was helpless.

Gao Yong drew out the fourth pair and announced loudly: "The fourth pair, the Western Army will face the Shenwu Left Deputy Army."

……

"Why didn't the lottery be drawn according to the original plan?"

Zhang Zongyan was really dissatisfied that Wang Bo decided on such an important matter without discussing it with him, and decided on his own.

"Wang Yanei, Cao De is Liu Guangshi's most powerful general, with rich combat experience, and his army is also selected from tens of thousands of recruits. He can be called the elite of the elite. We may not be his opponent.

But Chen Qing's army is different. His army is weak. It is the former Xiang army. Two months of hard training is not enough. It will take at least two or three years to be completely reborn. Fast, but they are a real underdog. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Zongyan couldn't bear the anger in his heart, "Ya Nei, this is our opportunity, you should discuss it with me first, and you shouldn't just give up the original plan!"
