Royal road

"First column, take out your gun. Kill!"

A row of long spears stabbed out, and grass clippings flew a few steps away.

"Second column, take out your gun. Kill!"

The second row of long spears stabbed out without stopping, followed by a third shout.A row of five people, four rows of twenty long spears smashed the few straw figures in front of them, and after they were all pierced, the five straw stakes in front of them were already in tatters.

Before anyone could speak, two soldiers ran over quickly, removed the old stakes, and replaced them with new straw figures. The four corporals immediately took a step forward, stood in their positions, raised their spears, and shot deep into the ground. Take a breath.

"Take the gun. Kill!"

This is the assassination action that must be practiced every day in the first part.The corps leader led the recruits to attack the target in front of them with guns in both hands.The long spears they hold now are not the bare wooden poles they used to be. Each spear has an extra three-inch long iron point. Although it weighs only a few taels, its lethality has increased several times.It makes it look like a tiger and a tiger, which is quite deterrent.

"Drink!" With a final thrust, Zhu Er had to stop and gasped for breath twice.This is already the third round, who would have thought that it would take so much effort just to stab such a shot.However, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Buqu is not a place where you can eat whatever you want when you come in. If you can't keep up with the training, you will be expelled.

Among the partners who came together before, there were a few who couldn't keep up with the practice, and had already been kicked out of the series.Those who perform well can also be "auxiliary soldiers" who do not have a lot of land. Those who are not hardworking can only go home and farm.After screening and selection, only four corps were left in the end. If anyone failed to meet the requirements, they would be demoted as "auxiliary soldiers".Such a good job, he can't just lose it!

Thinking of the ten acres of good land that had been registered under his name and could be cultivated by his family, Zhu Er immediately cheered up and followed his team to the designated location.You have to line up before and after the gun is fired. If you can't keep up with the rhythm of the team, or if you lose the direction of the beat, you will be punished!

Perhaps it was because the queue was neat this time, the team standing in front looked at it for a while, and finally said: "Stay where you are for a quarter of an hour."

Hearing this, there was a burst of sighs from the crowd, and many of them sat down with their guns in their hands.It's really a noon practice, which has exhausted everyone's energy.Zhu Er also let out a long breath, dragged the gun and walked to the shade of a tree beside him, untied the water bag and took two gulps.This water sac was also issued after joining the trilogy. What they drink now is not well water, but hot water that has been boiled early in the morning and filled in the sac. They drink some when they are thirsty, and they can drink it every day. Two big jugs.

No one knows why it takes time and effort to boil the water before drinking it, but some people say that this is the Buddha's instruction, which can kill some invisible pests.The words came from the owner's mouth, and even the doctor Jiang who came to see the owner nodded in agreement.Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as the people in the village are not too lazy, they will find ways to boil water before drinking.

After taking a few sips, Zhu Er put down the water bag and carefully checked his precious spear.This gun needs to be maintained, whether the tip of the gun is worn or not, whether the gun body is cracked, you have to check it carefully every day.The corporal leader of his family said that the long gun is the lifeblood of a soldier, and it should be carried when running, when lining up, and should be carefully placed next to the pillow when sleeping.If you can't even look down on your lifeline, wouldn't you be a cripple without eggs?

After checking up and down, Zhu Er was relieved.He stabbed in a good position today, and the tip of the spear did not wear down a bit.Now the corporal can't say anything.After relaxing, he picked up the water bag again, ready to take a few more sips.Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw some commotion in the middle of the school field, and several people gathered around the grass target.Zhu Er had good eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that one of them was Sun Jiao, his own corps leader.Oops!Does he really want to compete with the team? !

He didn't even have time to drink the water, so Zhu Er picked up his spear and ran towards the field.Yi Yan and Sun Jiao were both holding bows and arrows, standing in front of the straw target.Sun Jiao glanced at the people around him, and played the game seriously and said: "Qiuzheng, if I win, I will practice the trilogy for you for a day, how about it?"

Sun Jiao was originally a hunter in the village, not only outstanding in skill, but also very good at archery.After joining the trilogy, he was quickly selected by Yiyan and became the corps leader.However, he was quite high-spirited. After getting familiar with the drill rules, he felt that these were not too difficult, so he started to play the idea of ​​"team upright".What is it to lead five people, it is considered powerful to be able to command 20 people to advance and retreat together.

So after several days of observation, he finally decided to compare his arrow skills with Yi Yan.It's not that he didn't think about fighting with guns before, but after practicing a few times, Sun Jiao realized that this method might not work.Obviously it is also a long spear, but Yiyan's spear is always as fast as thunder, and there is no way to hide from it.In case someone avenges his personal revenge and gets shot accidentally, he will definitely not survive.So, Sun Jiao turned his attention to the bow and arrow.

Archery is Sun Jiao's specialty, and Yiyan likes to practice archery alone when he is resting. It seems that his strength is not bad, but his accuracy is far worse than his archery skills.With this idea in mind, today, he finally stepped up to make an appointment to fight, and specially adjusted this kind of rest time.Presumably, as long as Yiyan wanted to save face, he wouldn't refuse.

Glancing at him, Yi Yan said flatly, "You go first."

Is this a promise?Sun Jiao regained his energy immediately, pulled the bowstring repeatedly, and shot three arrows, hitting the straw man's chest a hundred paces away.The newly replaced straw man was just when it was strong, and the arrow could actually shoot halfway through, which seemed to be very powerful.

Sun Jiao lowered his bow and raised his chin: "Is this arrow still good?"

Archery practice is not a one-time thing, not to mention ordinary farmers, even real sergeants, it is rare to have outstanding arrow skills.This move is indeed enough to show off.

However, Yiyan didn't even look at him, he pulled the bowstring in his hand, stood still, drew the bow and set the arrow.His bow was also a stone-hard bow, but under the full string, the long feathered arrow pierced the straw man's eyes like a white rainbow piercing the sun.If the shot misses even a tiny bit, it might slip off the target.But the arrow's tail didn't even tremble, and it directly sank into the straw, followed by the second and third arrows, and they were inseparable, nailed in a square inch less than the size of a copper coin.

After the three arrows passed, the crowd burst into applause, and several Jie people laughed and said: "Sun, don't be stupid, the team is left-handed."

Sun Jiao opened his mouth wide.What?Left-handed?Why has he never seen Yiyan use his left hand, whether he is practicing or privately practicing arrows, he always uses his right hand!Immediately, Sun Jiao's face turned pale again, he provoked and was defeated miserably, how will the team deal with him?Erase his title of corporal commander, or remove the part?

Unexpectedly, Yiyan didn't mean to punish, and said: "You guys, let's sweep the latrine one more time."

A simple hut was specially built next to the camp for them to go to the toilet together and accumulate fertilizer by the way.Each team takes turns cleaning the hut for seven days to keep it clean.It's a job no one likes to do, but it's really not a big deal.Everyone couldn't help laughing, Sun Jiao blushed, and muttered: "Sweep, just sweep, who hasn't used agricultural fertilizer! Captain, what if I win next time?"

"You can give it a try." Yi Yan put down these words, put on a serious face and shouted to the soldiers watching: "Jiji, start practicing!"

This is much shorter than the scheduled break.However, with an order, not even half of them dared to contradict, everyone hurriedly stood where they should stand, held their guns up, and waited for the next round of drills.

■

After a day's practice, Yiyan went to the river to take a bath as usual, washed off the dust and sweat all over his body, and after making sure that there was no more odor on his body, he quickly changed into clean clothes and walked towards the inner courtyard.

These days, the parts are practiced more and more frequently.However, due to the sufficient food, there are eggs every day, and fish soup or broth from time to time to satisfy the gluttony. Everyone is refreshed after eating, and their physical strength gradually catches up. The morning jog can be finished in a little more than a quarter. There is no one who dragged on for a quarter of an hour.

With energy, the heads of these guys also began to come alive.Like Sun Jiao, he has met more than once these days.But Yiyan thinks this is not a bad thing, in the camp, courage and courage are the key, and now they only have pikemen, so it's not a problem at all, maybe you should ask the lord, do you want to form a team of archers?

Walking into the door, a strong smell of wormwood came over the face, and Yi Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide.Among the half-covered curtains, Liang Feng's half-naked body was lying on the couch, and Jiang Da was sitting beside him, holding a long needle in his hand, and with a light twist, it pierced his back.The needle was an inch long, and most of it hadn't penetrated into the body. Just looking at it made me feel unbearable pain.However, the anger in Yiyan's chest was ignited, and he was quickly suppressed by force, because he saw Lu Zhu was kneeling and sitting beside him, covering his mouth with his hands, trembling as if he wanted to see but dared not.

This is healing.Yi Yan clenched his teeth.This must be a cure, otherwise Green Bamboo would not just look at it like this, otherwise the lord would not allow that Jiang to do anything.But no matter how much he warned himself, he still couldn't help glaring at Jiang Da and the scalp-numbing needle in his hand.

In the bed, a vague voice suddenly came out: "Yiyan, is the practice over?"

This voice immediately brought back Yiyan's rationality, he quickly walked over, and replied in a low voice: "My lord, the training is over."

"Well, go and sit on the side, it will be fine later." Liang Feng did not turn his head, and ordered lightly.

With just two sentences, the murderous aura overflowing from Yiyan's body faded away.After finally looking forward to the companion, Lu Zhu turned her head with tears in her eyes, not even daring to speak, and pointed to her side pitifully.Yiyan didn't refute, walked to Lvzhu's side in two steps, and sat down on his knees obediently.

That sharp feeling finally disappeared, Jiang Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "How does Zixi feel?"

"It's a little sore, but it's not a serious problem. Ji En can just let go of the needle." The two are about the same age, and although their identities are different, Liang Feng doesn't care, and they have changed their names a long time ago.

Jiang Da nodded: "At the beginning of the warm needle, there will be some swelling pain, and it will become numb and itchy after a while. You must be patient and don't move around."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Da picked up another long needle, warmed it on the burning moxa stick for a while, and pierced the next acupuncture point.It stands to reason that for the first time acupuncture is done at the acupuncture points on the back, no matter how mentally prepared, the patient's shoulders and back will be a little stiff, making it difficult to give the needle.However, the person next to him was not nervous at all, as if lying on the couch, he was relaxed and natural, which made his injection go a bit smoother.

With such an extremely cooperative patient, Jiang Da's movements became much smoother, and he inserted all the needles in a short time.He took out the moxa stick and tapped it lightly on the place where the needle did not fall.The Jiang family was already good at health preservation, and Jiang Da was taught by his grandfather to inherit the mantle. Naturally, he is extremely proficient in moxibustion, and he didn't even leave any scald marks.

However, no matter how dexterous his movements were, Yi Yan still couldn't help clenching his fists.That hand just walked up and down the lord's back so unscrupulously, the palm of the hand was attached to the skin, as if caressing the thin nape of the neck inch by inch.I don't know if it's pain or scorching heat, but the pale skin is faintly red under the acupuncture, and beads of sweat ooze out.The bun came undone at some point, and a few strands of black hair fell on her shoulders, giving off a vague feeling.

If possible, Yi Yan wished he could push the healer away and wrap the body tightly with his inner garment.But he can't, it's a cure, it's to save the life of the lord.He couldn't even stare firmly, for fear of disturbing the man's movements.Yi Yan silently lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Jiang Da kept his hands on, repeatedly moxibustion several times with moxa sticks, and finally stopped when Liang Feng's back was almost drenched with sweat, and said, "Hold on, I've pulled out the needle."

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to stop for a while, and quickly pulled out the silver needle that had been pierced before.A few drops of blood seeped out and mixed into the sweat.Jiang Da took the clean soft cloth beside him and carefully wiped the sweat and slightly oozing blood on Liang Feng's back before he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. From now on, acupuncture every five days, after one month, You can take a medicine bath."

"Thank you Ji En." Slowly getting up from the bed, Liang Feng said with a smile, "Green Bamboo, take Dr. Jiang down to rest."

Jiang Da was also sweating profusely at the moment, acupuncture and moxibustion was no joke, especially the way Ai Qi used was very energy-intensive.He took the trouble to tell Liang Feng a few more words, and then he slowly left the bedroom.

Seeing the outsider leave, Yiyan's first reaction was to walk up quickly, pick up the underwear on the bed, and put it on Liang Feng.

Liang Feng smiled: "It's okay, the weather is getting warmer now, and it's not so cold anymore."

Only then did Yiyan come to his senses, took a step back, and after a long silence, he said, "My lord, today Sun Jiao competed with me in bow and arrow."

This was a change of subject, but Liang Feng didn't think about it that much at all, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "He's so courageous. What did you punish him for?"

Without even asking about the result, the lord knew he would win.Yiyan's tightly locked brows slowly unfolded, and he said softly: "I asked Wu Duo to sweep the latrine for a while."

"Haha, not bad." Liang Feng smiled, this is really a common punishment method in the army, Yiyan did a good job, did not damage his authority, and never really hit the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

The other party's smile was full of approval, Yiyan felt his chest became hot, and those things that were not visible just now ran away like the wind.He thought for a while, and then said: "I think we can build a new army, pick some good archers, and specialize in archery. The spear formation can only be used for hand-to-hand combat. If there are archers in the enemy army, it is not easy to guard against."

Liang Feng nodded: "Naturally, but the number of troops is too small now, so it's best not to divide the troops. Wait until the busy farming season is over before considering increasing the number of troops. You can lead the team to practice near the farm and release the news of recruiting new soldiers. Over time, those who want to join the army can't help but secretly train, which becomes a good source of reserve troops. In case of an emergency, they can be mobilized quickly. As for defense, these days I am letting the weaving room rush Make a batch of leather armor, the key parts will be sewn with cowhide, it can’t be considered strong, but it’s always better than wearing cloth.”

The lord always thinks more carefully than him, Yiyan nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

"Building a strong army will not be completed in a short period of time. Take your time and don't worry. But you must keep in mind that the four troops under your command are the most precious seeds. When the time is right, sprinkle them into the recruits. In the team, everyone can be the team leader and team leader. Therefore, you have to strictly control them so that they will not grow into crooked seedlings."

Although there are not so many soldiers on hand, the soul of an army will take root when it is established.What Liang Feng wanted was not a bunch of bear soldiers.Advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, and complete obedience to orders is the most basic requirement.And this point must be implemented at the beginning of team building.Fortunately, he had a good vision and chose a competent leader.

There was still some burning pain in his shoulders, Liang Feng stretched his waist, and lay on his side on the bed: "Bring the volume "Spring and Autumn" while the sky is still bright."

Recently, his spirit has improved, and Liang Feng has put basic education on the agenda. During the day, Lvzhu and Liang Rong learn to write together, and at night, he tells Yiyan some stories from history books.He didn't want to be surrounded by a group of illiterates, so he had to teach well if he could teach.

Yiyan regained his energy immediately, and walked quickly to the desk in the outer room.Looking at the anxious back, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile, it's not bad to be recuperating like this.
