Hanhou

Xin Zhao checked the quiver and slung the longknife on his back.He glanced at the Chang'an dandy not far away, lightly patted Wei Qing on the back, and then patted Zhao Ponu on the shoulder.

"Ah Qing, you and Po Nu are fast, wait until you get on the bridge, just charge forward, they leave me and Ao. Po Nu, cooperate with Ah Qing, remember!"

Zhao Ponu was trying the bowstring when he was hit suddenly, and he bared his teeth in dissatisfaction on the spot.

"Ashin, there's no need to do this." Wei Qing checked the blade, put it away and returned it to its sheath.After counting the arrows in the pot and confirming that they were correct, he stood up and tightened his arm armor while saying, "Although the opponent has the upper hand, we can still win with the four of you."

"I know I can win." Zhao Xin held Wei Qing down, hooked Zhao Ponu's neck with one arm, and raised his chin towards Gongsun Ao, "Mr. Lang specially pointed out the four of us, how can we just win."

Must be crushed!

Let these noble children of Chang'an know that people should not be judged by appearances, and it is even worse to underestimate opponents.If you are careless and despise others, you must learn a lesson.

Among the four, Xin Zhao is the oldest, and his words have always been weighty.The other three looked at each other and nodded silently, thinking that what he said was reasonable.

In this competition, one must win beautifully, so as not to lose face.

The easiest way is to deal with the other party severely, and let them know that the people from Border County are all tigers and wolves, and their attitudes are not correct.

"Since this is the case, the plan can be changed." Wei Qing lowered his voice and said, "Wait to cross the bridge, do this..."

When the four agreed on a plan, a sharp whistle sounded in the arena, and two pennant flags were raised at the same time, waving left and right several times.

Shaling infantry and Habayashi cavalry were the first to enter the training ground.

In the earlier performance of martial arts, Habayashi Qi suffered a lot.Especially the Shaling infantry, they really taught them a lesson.

Encountered at this moment, from the military lord to the team leader, from the commander to the pawn, all secretly clenched their fists, determined to do their best, even if they could not overthrow the opponent, they should try to shorten the gap as much as possible, and not allow them to gain too much advantage and win too easily.

Compared with the solemn and concentrated Habayashi Qi, the Shaling infantry did not appear to be nervous at all, and even a few of them looked listless.If it weren't for the rankings recorded in the morning exercise, no one would have thought that they would lead the other three battalions, rank among the top 500, and occupy the position of winners.

Unfortunately, external competitions are not counted, and rankings are also included in the camp.

Surpassed the other three battalions, but lost to the brothers of the same battalion.Counting down from four hundred, starting tomorrow, they will be responsible for washing the clothes of the entire camp.

The only good thing is that they don't need to wash boots and clothes.Based on the result of the last bet, the loser will have to wash for at least half a month before he can be completely relieved.

Such a punishment is disheartening.

Fortunately, frustration will not affect combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, because of a bad mood, the pawns who were punished urgently needed a channel to vent, and the following drills met the requirements.

Whistles sounded one after another, and the pawns who hadn't had much energy at the last moment, walked to the wooden bridge, and the momentum around them suddenly changed, suddenly like a sharp knife out of its sheath, the cold light was threatening, majestic and vigorous.

With the flag waving, Shaling infantry and Habayashi cavalry rushed out almost simultaneously.

Relying on their extraordinary speed, the Shaling infantry arrived at the wooden bridge first and successfully seized the position at the head of the bridge.A few people crossed the long halberd, abruptly stopped the Habayashi rider, and bought time for the brothers in the same battalion.

Habayashi Qi was intercepted, knowing that reasoning was useless, he immediately fought the opponent.

The Shaling infantry cooperated tacitly, and various methods emerged one after another.

When Habayashi finally stepped onto the wooden bridge, the fastest pawns had already reached the wooden wall.Instead of throwing the claw hook, the strong man folded his arms, borrowed strength from his fellow robes, and while jumping up, stepped on the wall with his feet. In the blink of an eye, he had already stood on the top of the wall.

Soon, the rope was put down on the wall to help the rest climb quickly.

Before the wooden wall, Habayashi was not blocked.When they reached the wall, Sha Ling's infantry had already passed through and rushed to the next obstacle.

As the drill continued, the speed, tenacity and tacit cooperation of the Shaling infantry were perfectly displayed in front of everyone.

When crossing the quagmire, they would not be able to step on their skins stably, several pawns jumped down and stood still after a few steps, willing to be artificial wooden stakes, allowing the comrades to step on their shoulders to pass.

The Habayashi riders have learned from others, but they didn't think of it before, cramming their feet temporarily, and the distance is not accurate, and it takes twice as long as the pawns.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jia crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and decided to use the second training ground in advance.

With the physique and battlefield experience of the frontier army, the strength of this training ground is obviously not enough.Instead of being rigid and dogmatic, it is better to be flexible and maneuver, and sprinkle them all into the dense forest full of traps, simulating the real battlefield, and retaining the evil spirit on the body.

As for idle equipment, it can be reserved for recruits.

The fourth battalion was newly established not long ago, with no more than [-] soldiers, and it is bound to expand in the future.

In the process of expanding the army, soldiers need to be carefully screened.

As the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the Fourth Battalion will surely go northward in the future to carry out large-scale battles with the Xiongnu.If you select a group of people who are not bloody and only good-looking, let alone sweeping the grassland, it will even drag down the comrades and cause unnecessary losses.

In just a moment, several thoughts turned in Zhao Jia's mind.

At the same time, Shaling infantrymen and Habayashi cavalry boarded the wooden tower one after another, and were shooting arrows, aiming at the moving wooden target.

Wei Yue walked to Zhao Jia's side, and found that the other party was obviously distracted, and his mind was not on the training ground. She couldn't help asking curiously: "What is Ah Duo thinking?"

Zhao Jia withdrew his thoughts, glanced at the training ground, then turned to Wei Yue and said, "In two or three days, the second training ground will be ready for use."

The matter of military expansion needs to be decided by the emperor, and it is not suitable to talk about it now.

Zhao Jia thought for a moment, and decided to go to Wei Yue's place after the training, and call Li Danghu, Cao Shi and Han Yan together by the way.After all, the expansion of the army is related to the Fourth Battalion, and Han Yan and Cao Shi have a closer relationship with the emperor. It may be of great help to pass the breath in advance and be confident.

While the two were talking, the Shaling infantry shot the flying target first, jumped down the wooden tower one after another, crossed the bridle rope, stepped onto the wooden platform, and took down the flag symbolizing victory.

Habayashi Qi was defeated again, he was unwilling to do so, and had a lot of admiration, but there was no resentment.

There is no shame in losing to this group of humanoid monsters.

Unexpectedly, several times of the kingdom's elite were overthrown, and they were completely powerless to fight back.

Furthermore, with the continuous deepening of training, accumulating enough experience, trying to make up for shortcomings, and working harder, it may not be impossible to win a few times.

It's a pity that Yulin Qixia didn't know that Zhao Jia was planning to transfer the "battlefield". If he knew, he wouldn't have such naive thoughts.

At the end of the first match, the Shaling infantry won a complete victory.

Immediately afterwards, there was a battle between the four of Wei Qing and the Chang'an dude.

Before the whistle sounded, Dandy was still discussing which four should fight.

Zhao Puonu was impatient to hear that, and tapped the arm armor with the handle of the knife, attracting the other party's attention, and was about to speak, when Xin Zhao suddenly held him down.

"Young masters, there is no need to divide, just be in the same field."

Xin Zhao was smiling, seemingly non-threatening.

Zhao Puonu pulled his wrist away and glared at him. After all, he didn't explode on the spot, and stood with Wei Qing according to the original plan.

Gongsun Ao is wearing full armor and carrying a long halberd and short spear.Overcoming obstacles later, blocking opponents, these are essential.

"Same field?" Dou Liang frowned slightly.

The dandies present felt incredible.

These young people are so entrusted, are they really capable, or are they arrogant by nature and don't take them seriously?

"Don't wait until you regret it!"

Enraged by the attitudes of the four of them, most of the dandies wanted to teach each other a lesson.

Seeing that Chen Yu and Guan Xian were unhappy, Dou Liang and Wang Xu looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't be persuaded, so they could only suppress their doubts, stand together with everyone, and face this competition with all their strength.

When the whistle sounded, the four of Wei Qing were as fast as lightning, cooperating in pairs, and rushed towards the wooden bridge, their speed was no less than that of the Shaling infantry.

Chang'an Dandy moved a little slower, and the bridgehead was occupied.

Without looking back, Wei Qing and Zhao Ponu continued to run forward and quickly crossed the center of the bridge.Xin Zhao and Gongsun Ao occupied the bridgehead, thrust their halberds into the soil, and flew ropes out of their hands at the same time, blocking the opponents who wanted to climb the bridge.

Witnessing the tactics of the Shaling pawns, the Chang'an dude was already on guard.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin and the two were caught by surprise, instead of sweeping with the halberd, they used the rope, and the rope was ejected from the mechanism, with an iron hook attached to the front end, several dandies were entangled on the spot and fell to the ground.

This situation reminded Han Yan that she was tied to the wooden tower on the day when she performed Wuwu.Looking at these dudes again, there was sympathy in their eyes.

Fortunately, Zhao Xin and Gongsun Ao accepted as soon as they saw each other, and they didn't intend to kill them all at the beginning.After Wei Qing gave the signal, he immediately gave up blocking, pulled out the halberd on the ground, and ran across the wooden bridge at high speed.

More than a dozen dandies escaped unharmed, did not have time to untie their companions, stepped onto the bridge in a hurry, and followed closely behind the two.

"Come up!"

Wei Qing and Zhao Ponu climbed onto the wooden wall first, and then lowered the rope from above.

Xin Zhao and Gongsun Ao looped the rope around their waists and flew up at the same time, their movements were agile and dexterous, which immediately attracted bursts of applause.

The four teenagers stood on a high place, seeing the dudes coming to the wall one after another, climbing up one by one, they looked at each other without rushing to make a move.It wasn't until a dude approached the wall that Zhao Po, who was squatting, suddenly stood up and kicked the opponent into the sandpit.

Every dude fell once, and the four of them just stopped, climbed up the ropeway from the top of the wall, quickly passed through the rope net, and came to the most difficult quagmire.

The distance was long and the number of people was not enough, so naturally they couldn't imitate Sha Ling's infantry.

This can't trouble the four of them.

Wei Qing measured the distance with his steps, and the other three gathered their halberds and short spears, tied a rope to one end, and threw them into the quagmire one after another.

After Dandan arrived, he found several teenagers standing by the side of the quagmire, without the slightest intention of moving forward, so he couldn't help but stop.

Seeing the "prey", the teenagers smiled at the same time, tied the thick rope into a set of horse ropes, and before the opponent could react, they caught one after another and kicked them down the quagmire.

After all the dandies were resolved, the four people used the ropes on the halberds and short spears to quickly step over the skins without touching any dirt, and easily crossed the obstacles.

The dudes are stuck in the mud, and they can't move forward until they untie the rope.

However, the rope buckle is very special, you can't find the joints, and the more you struggle, the tighter it gets.In the end, it was Liu Jin who broke free with one hand and pulled out the dagger he carried with him, before cutting off the ropes on everyone.

Of the more than 20 dandies, nine of them were declared "killed" at the first obstacle, and several others sprained their feet when they fell down the wooden wall.In the end, only 12 people including Dou Liang and Wang Xu struggled out of the quagmire.

Not far away is the wooden pagoda.

The dandies in Chang'an took a deep breath. In view of the previous embarrassment, they must save face here no matter what.

Just when everyone was determined and ready to avenge their shame, a mysterious scene appeared in front of them, completely nailing them to the ground.

The four teenagers worked together in pairs and climbed up the wooden tower as a team.

With the activation of the mechanism, the archery target shuttles in a circle, and the speed gradually increases, which is dazzling.

The four of them stood calmly, back to back, and opened their bows at the same time.

Arrows flew out, forming an arrow formation.

All fixed targets were pierced through the bull's-eye, and none of the moving targets fell through.

The teenagers seem to forget their opponents and start competing with each other.From speed to accuracy, they are on par with each other.Wei Qing and Zhao Puonu shot consecutive arrows respectively, Zhao Xin and Gongsun Ao were so powerful that the flying target as big as a palm was smashed on the spot.

The last flying target landed, and there were deafening cheers from the sidelines.

"Wu!"

Looking at the young men who climbed onto the wooden platform and scrambled for the flag, Zhao Jia smiled brightly, Cao Shi couldn't help but be envious, and immediately made a decision that in the future, when choosing soldiers, he would also choose people from the border counties!

The dandies in Chang'an are covered in mud, their ears are filled with cheers, and their brains and sights are empty.Including Dou Liang, everyone had the same thoughts in their minds: where am I, what did I just do, and what should I do next.

Until Zhao Puonu came near carrying the flag, the cheers outside the venue weakened, and everyone suddenly came back to their senses, recalling the scene before the departure, they couldn't help but blushed, wishing they could find a crack in the ground on the spot.

No wonder Marquis Pingyang looked down on them.

If I were in the position of Marquis of Pingyang, I would look down on him too!

The dandies were taken out of the training ground, no longer arrogant and arrogant, they were all downcast and without any energy.

Cao Shi pressed his sword with one hand, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You just entered the camp, you don't need to participate in the third drill. Before tomorrow, you'd better figure out whether you want to stay in the camp or go back home. "

If you stay, you must abide by military regulations, and there is no room for negotiation.

If he wanted to leave, Cao Shi would not stop him.However, in the future, I would never think about stepping into the Fourth Battalion again.

In the era of advancing through military exploits, no matter how noble your ancestors are, you don't have much ability, you can't mount a horse to kill the enemy, lead the way, and in the end you can only dawdle at the bottom, and you don't even want to reach the top of the tower in this life.

The crowd fell into silence, and half of them felt like retreating. Since there was no one to take the lead, they hesitated and dared not speak.

Dou Liang, Wang Xu, Chen Xun and Liu Jin advanced and retreated together and decided to stay in the camp.Guan Xian, who made the same choice, climbed out of the quagmire with them.

Seeing this result, Cao Shi didn't say anything, but called a small official and ordered him to lead everyone to the barracks to wash and change clothes.If you want to leave, you can leave immediately.Those who are going to stay will stay in the camp from today, eating and sleeping with the army, and training together.

Watching the backs of Dou Liang and the others, Cao Shi clenched the hilt of his sword with a firm gaze.

In his opinion, this group of dandies is really bad, but luckily not all of them are hopeless.But it must also be strictly polished, cleaned up to the death, and will go to the battlefield in the future, so as not to be called a Chang'an dude!

About how to "clean up", perhaps we can learn from Zhao Jia.
