Hanhou

Run around the school field on the first day, practice formation on the second day, then run around the school field on the third day, and continue to practice formation on the fourth day.On the fifth day, there is no need for small officials to ring the gong, and no need for old soldiers to remind them. When the assembly time comes, all five hundred soldiers have already stood up and walked out of the barracks. practice.

Zhao Jia did what he said, and in the previous few drills, the leaders were rewarded and the laggards were punished.The rewarded fat sheep were distributed on the same day, and cooked by the cook in front of all the men.

The flames flew up, the cook turned the lamb, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.Brushed with a slightly spicy sauce, it makes the aroma even higher, completely irresistible.

Grease dripped, and there was a slight explosion in the fire. Everyone, including the two civil servants, sucked their noses unconsciously.

When the mutton is roasted, the rewarded soldiers line up in a long line, stretching their necks and waiting to receive the reward.

The cook brought a big basket of steamed cakes, and lifted the sheep body off the fire.

The broiled meat is all thick slices, and each person can get at least three slices.The first few in the team even got two more ribs.In this regard, no one expressed dissatisfaction.After all, the whole team can take the lead because they lead the lagging pawns.

While the victors gather to feast, the last three squadrons continue to gallop around the field.

The smell of roasted meat kept wafting, and while everyone was running, the Wu Zang Temple was rumbling.The most important thing is that they are all men in the cloud, so why do they have to fall behind every time?

At the end of the training that day, the soldiers of the three teams returned to the barracks. The newcomers were a little discouraged, especially those who ran to the end twice in a row, squatting on the ground like planting carrots, bowed their heads and said nothing.

The old soldiers in the team couldn't understand this, and said that it didn't work, so they kicked all the dejected soldiers down, and yelled loudly.

Amidst the scolding, the recruit's face turned from white to green, and his expression changed from frustration to anger.

Seeing them clenching their fists one by one, the old soldier smiled instead of anger, and beat everyone's shoulders vigorously. He changed his tone, stopped scolding, but encouraged him: "They are all men in the cloud, and they have nothing to lose! The first time I fell behind, the next time I will try my best to catch up!"

"Catch it back?"

The old pawn sat back on the couch, the new pawn stood or sat, and there were two or three squatting habitually, all gathered around the old pawn.

"Have you ever looked closely at the teams that ran at the front?"

Most of them were even more dazed, they just ran forward dully, and didn't have time to pay attention to others.Only a few frowned and thought deeply, looking at the old pawn, they seemed to understand something.

"Hurry up and slow down, the strong help the weak." The old soldier tapped his knees and raised his point, "To put it bluntly, our team is full of good men, and they are strong enough. At the front of the formation, at least ten of them can carry a large shield! "

Hearing this, Geng Zu's face turned red.This time it was not anger, but excitement.

"Running to the first place, don't think about it for the time being, it's not that material, you can't outrun those who carry the sword and the bow. Just want to not fall behind, stop watching others eat meat, and be punished yourself, it is not impossible."

"Uncle Zhuang, tell me quickly, what is the solution?" Geng Zu asked anxiously.

"Simple, learn from those who eat meat, don't patronize yourself, those with long legs are two steps slower, and bring those who can't run fast, as long as we can run faster than the slowest of the other team, we will win!" The old soldier said word by word.

"Uncle Zhuang is right, I will wait for the third from the bottom, as long as I run past the front team, I don't need to be punished!"

"There are still [-] days left for the training period. We will do our best so that we will not continue to fall behind!"

The soldiers clenched their fists, all held their breath, and made up their minds that in the days to come, they must run to the front and never be left behind.

The pawns who did not get the reward made up their minds and wanted to strive for the top, but they didn't know how the pawns who got the reward would give up their leading position.

500 people must compete to be the first, and a battle between dragons and tigers is inevitable.

As a result, Zhao Jia's original intention was to unite the soldiers and know how to cooperate with each other, but one of them didn't pay attention, and by accident, he trained the fastest army in Bianjun.

Those who are at the top are non-human to a certain extent, and dare to chase cavalry with a big shield on their backs.Although it was not blocked in the end, one after another, the habit became natural, and the team became more and more unreasonable.

In the end, speed and tenacity will always be the king of any army trained by Zhao Jia, no matter cavalry or infantry.On this point, even Wei Yue and Li Danghu were willing to bow down.

There is such a precedent that Wei Qing, Zhao Xin, Zhao Ponu and others who walked out of the Zhao's livestock farm unconsciously took a fork in the road and extended another meaning of "soldiers are precious and fast".

It won't take long for the barbarians on the grassland to realize that they could run if they couldn't beat them before, but now, unless they are discovered by the Han army, they will be kicked out to death!

Especially the frontier army from the cloud, with a cruel heart, can chase people until they die!What's worse is that, being bitten by such a pursuer, it doesn't count if you run all over the grass, and if you are a little careless, you will also encounter a bloody killing god!

In short, you can choose between being hacked to death on the spot or being chased until you are out of breath, and then hacked to death again.

The sky, the earth, you can't kill and kill, you can't run away, you really don't give people a way out!

Zhao Jia never expected such a development.

At this moment, he is following the plan he made before, step by step, strictly controlling the training of pawns.In order for everyone to maintain sufficient physical strength and not be unable to keep up when the weight is increased, Zhao Jia specially ordered that the two meals a day be increased to three meals, and the meals should be able to see meat.

This kind of food arrangement has exceeded the standard, but the imperial court has not clearly restricted it. Bian County has long had a precedent of killing cattle to reward soldiers, and Zhao Jia paid for it out of his own pocket.

The ice business made Zhao Jia so profitable that he could almost count the money while lying down.Let alone slaughtering one or two sheep every day, even slaughtering ten sheep for a month in a row, Zhao Jia still didn't bat an eye.

The saltpeter was found with Wei Yue's help, and the benefits obtained will naturally be shared with the third son of Wei.

Wei Yue was not as polite as Zhao Jia. After returning to the barracks, he slaughtered sheep every five days to reward the cavalry.

Everyone knew that this was the work of Lieutenant Zhao, and when they learned that Zhao Jia wanted two cavalry to help train the pawns, they all enthusiastically signed up.

Looking at the subordinate who was so angry that he almost had the word "cruel" carved on his face, Wei Yue thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't nod.After driving people out, he summoned Wei Tong who was coming back to the camp, and asked him and Wei Shan to go there in person.

Wei Tong took the order, went out of the camp with Wei Shan, and rushed to Shaling County at high speed.

When the two of them arrived, they met soldiers galloping in line on the school grounds.

Around the school grounds, several small officials stood on wooden stakes, and whenever a team of soldiers ran past, they would wave the pennants in their hands.The team leader raised his right arm high, and the running soldiers roared in unison, as if they were full of strength in an instant, and their speed suddenly increased.

"Is this military training?" Wei Tong was stunned.

According to the routine, the pawns practice the formation, using the golden drum as a sign, moving forward and backward, moving left and right.Experienced generals will distribute weapons in the later stage of the drill to teach the soldiers to be familiar with the battle formation.

Wei Tong and Wei Shan looked at each other and searched the memories in their minds. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what kind of military training method it was that sent the pawns to run around the school field.

In the school grounds, five hundred men were sweating profusely while running at an unabated speed.

Two teams of soldiers were shirtless, their faces, necks and even their chests and backs were all red.Even though his face was full of sweat, he was still full of energy, shouting chant, and walking like his colleagues.Those who fall behind will not be left behind, and will soon be held up by the pawns of the same team, leading them to run forward together.

After running two more laps, the small officials at the side of the school field raised the pennant at the same time, waved it three times vigorously, and held it high above their heads.

This is the last lap, whether it is success or failure, whether it is holding the mutton and munching or watching others eat meat, it is all in this one!

Five hundred guards roared at the same time, and with the roar, they all went all out and ran forward desperately.Several laggard soldiers were caught by their arms and caught in the middle. The soles of their feet could hardly touch the ground, and they were completely supported all the way forward.

The finish line is close at hand, and all the soldiers have red eyes, like bulls.Both Wei Tong and Wei Shan were taken aback by the rushing momentum.

Are these really the pawns of the new family?

The pawns who fell behind were not reconciled, and did not want to be included in the ranks of being punished. They also exerted all their strength, and the strongest ones simply grabbed the slow-moving comrades, and roared all the way forward, with no momentum at all. lose the front team.

The official's flag fell, proving that the first team had won.

The team that ran to the first place did not stop immediately, but walked slowly for a certain distance, and then they supported their waists and knees one by one, panting heavily.Looking at the latecomer, he grinned, his face full of pride.

It didn't take long for all the rewarding teams to be released.

The soldiers of the three teams gathered together, punched each other on the shoulders, grinned and laughed.

When the last soldier crossed the finish line, drums sounded in the school yard.

No matter how tired they are, the five hundred watchmen will get up immediately. Five people form a team, two teams form a team, and five teams form a team. They gather at an incredible speed. Trot to the wooden platform.

Boom!

With the sound of a heavy drum, five hundred soldiers stood still.

Boom!

There was another sound, and Geng Zuo squatted on one knee, not to mention that Qi seemed to be alone, and he also had the posture of being a pawn.

Witnessing this scene, Wei Tong Wei Shan was even more surprised.

"How does County Lieutenant Zhao train his troops?"

Even if it is a soldier in the county, it will take a lot of time to practice like this.

How long have these soldiers been practicing, half a month?

Zhao Jia stepped onto the wooden platform, without armor, wearing a dark blue coat with a silk belt around his waist.His figure is slender and his eyebrows are picturesque.With a slightly gentle temperament, it seems that he is out of tune with the military camp.

Even so, there was no sound in the school grounds.

After these days of training, County Captain Zhao established himself in a dignified manner, and the five hundred men present all respected and feared him.

Even veteran soldiers who have been on the battlefield do not understand this point.

County Captain Zhao never scolded, and the number of times he was flogged was also very few, but the guards were always in awe, as long as they saw him standing there, no one dared to speak loudly.

Zhao Jia couldn't say he was absolutely satisfied with everyone's reactions, but within a limited time, it was not easy to achieve such a result.

All the soldiers sat down, Zhao Jia signaled to the clerk, the latter took out a wooden tablet, summed up the recent training, selected the ten most outstanding performers, and called them to come forward to receive the reward.

"The county lieutenant has an order, reward those who are excellent, and punish those who are lazy!"

"You are the most diligent and courageous, each rewarded with two dou of millet and one dou of wheat."

Several people couldn't believe their ears, they all stayed in place and didn't move for a long time.It wasn't until being pushed by a fellow villager that he just woke up like a dream, hurriedly got up and walked out of the queue, followed the instructions of the small official, and took the wooden sign from Zhao Jia.

For border residents, edible millet and wheat are far more affordable than copper coins and silk.When the shift is over, with these wooden signs, they can receive food from the camp and take it home together.

Holding the wooden sign, the palms of all ten people felt hot, their feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, and they were dizzy. They didn't even know how they got off the wooden platform and how they returned to the team.

Other than ten people, the leader of the team he belongs to, the head of the department and the head of the corps directly under him will all be rewarded.

After the wooden cards were distributed, Zhao Jia waved his hand, indicating that today's pawns performed well and no one was punished.He even asked the cook to slaughter one cow and two sheep, and the three teams that ran first would each get an extra leg.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was full of excitement and suppressed their emotions forcibly, so they didn't burst into cheers on the spot.

Zhao Jiali stood on the stage, his eyes glanced over the crowd, and he looked at Wei Tong Wei Shan who was brought to the right side of the wooden platform by the clerk, and couldn't help smiling.

If you want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the pawns and better complete the training plan, you have to rotate them with sticks and sweet dates.The sweet dates have already been eaten in his mouth, and next, it's time to continue swinging the stick.
