Instructor Wang's sudden apology stunned all the soldiers in the charge battalion.

They are all sent here as 'sinners' and there is no way they can receive equal treatment.

Although Coach Wang was sent to another position after offending someone, his rank was different.

Moreover, Coach Wang is really capable, so it is impossible for him to apologize to nobodies like them.

But this incredible scene happened in full view of everyone.

"It's the instructor who teaches well!"

Lu Chen's mind turned quickly and he immediately gave a standard military salute to Coach Wang and gave him a step up.

Seeing this, the assistant coach next to him let out a long breath.

If Lu Chen were allowed to talk nonsense, the majesty of their instructors would be gone.

"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, and a calm mind."

"good!"

Coach Wang was very satisfied with Lu Chen's intelligence and general knowledge.

Praise without hesitation.

After sending Lu Chen away, the morning training came to an end.

I really don’t have the face to stay any longer.

After all, being compared to a newcomer, no matter how good-tempered Coach Wang is, he really can't stand it.

"Brother Lu, you are too awesome."

"Honestly, has your family been in the military for generations and have your elders taught you since childhood?"

"Otherwise, how could it be possible to defeat Coach Wang so easily?"

After it was over, the soldiers of the storm battalion looked at Lu Chen strangely one by one.

Several soldiers in the same barracks only dared to give Lu Chen a thumbs up from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

Even though Lu Chen defeated Coach Wang, this was a big taboo in the military camp.

There's no guarantee that tomorrow I'll be put in underwear and assigned to work as a spy outside the city to find out the enemy's intelligence.

That is the real life and death.

Only Iron Ox has a simple mind.

He really regarded Lu Chen as a close friend.

Only then did he dare to approach Lu Chen.

"Brother Tieniu, this is purely luck."

Lu Chen scratched his head modestly.

The two left talking and laughing, unaware that there were several pairs of eyes staring at them not far away.

After lunch, the soldiers took a short rest and walked towards the cavalry shooting range.

The so-called cavalry shooting range is actually a place prepared to deal with the Khitan cavalry and train the Dafeng soldiers in their riding and shooting skills.

Due to training needs, an open area was circled and listed as a riding and shooting training venue.

Since Emperor Yuan came to the throne, Dafeng has always emphasized civility over military affairs, and there are no generals in the court to protect the country.

Therefore, the training of the army has also reached an extremely demanding level.

Previously, there was no need for ordinary soldiers to train in riding and shooting.

Later, those civil servants felt that the Feng army was too idle and that they were not strong in combat, so they encouraged His Majesty to introduce mounted archery and included it in the assessment scope.

It can be seen from this that it was not accidental that Dafeng was so weak that the Khitan captured the capital and moved to Jinling.

"quiet!"

At noon, there is plenty of sunshine.

After all the soldiers had rested, they all came here.

The captain in charge of cavalry and archery stood on a simple high platform and shouted.

"A team of five people can freely form a riding and shooting team."

"Each person takes an arrow, starts from the stable, reaches the fence within the designed range, jumps on the horse and shoots. The one who hits the target is considered outstanding."

"Those who hit the nine rings will be ranked A."

"The eighth ring is the second grade, and so on."

"If the grade is D, it will be considered unsatisfactory and you will need to clean the stables for a day."

"Do you understand everything?"

The captain glanced at everyone with his tiger eyes and asked majestically.

"clear!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

In fact, this assessment is not fair.

For those without mounted shooting skills, it would be difficult to complete the mission.

So, fundamentally speaking, this is what makes things difficult for the soldiers of the storm battalion.

"Brother Lu, we will be together later."

Tieniu whispered to Lu Chen.

After seeing Lu Chen's superb formation methods, he became eager to give it a try.

I want to see Lu Chen's riding and shooting skills.

In this regard, Tieniu's advantages are revealed.

After all, he was tall and strong, so he had an advantage whether riding a horse or shooting with a bow.

"this……"

Lu Chen hesitated.

How can he know how to ride and shoot?

To put it into perspective, he learned how to ride a horse while traveling with friends in his dormitory when he was in college in his previous life.

That is, some basic riding skills.

He didn't know if the horses in this frontier were as obedient as the horses he bought at inns in major cities.

"start!"

Following the captain's loud shout, all the soldiers began to line up and walk towards the stables.

The five people in the first echelon are full of confidence.

The five people looked at each other, got on their horses one after another, picked up the bows and arrows prepared in advance from the horses, took the horse's reins with the other hand, then jumped on the horses and ran straight to the fence.

Upon seeing this, the captain nodded with satisfaction, sat on the chair prepared behind him, and leisurely picked up the tea bowl and sipped tea.

"Prepare!"

When the five people approached the fence, a soldier shouted loudly, and the other four people understood each other and picked up their bows and arrows, firing their bows left and right, ready to go.

"shoot!"

As the leader spoke, the five men clamped the horse's belly together, jumped up, and shot five sharp arrows through the air.

"Boohoo!"

The five arrows reached their peak speed and rushed to the target in the blink of an eye.

Then he accurately hit the bullseye, causing a group of soldiers to shout.

"Amazing!"

Lu Chen's heart was filled with excitement.

There was a rush of blood rushing to my forehead.

If he had this ability, there was no way he could really save his life on the battlefield.

"cut……"

However, Tieniu's disdainful voice came from beside him.

Lu Chen turned his head in surprise and looked at him in confusion: "Tieniu, what's wrong?"

In his impression, Tieniu should not be this kind of person.

However, unexpectedly, Tieniu did not restrain himself, but directly expressed his inner disdain on his face: "They were all recruited by the captain. It is not unusual for them to have high levels of riding and shooting."

"Because their daily task is to ride and shoot, their skills and proficiency are simply not comparable to ours."

"If we really only learn riding and shooting every day, we will definitely not be worse than them."

Speaking of this, Tieniu's eyes burst into light.

"Moreover, this kind of archery skills cannot kill Khitan barbarians at all."

Lu Chen was thoughtful.

Frankly speaking, Tieniu's words were a bit crazy.

Many of these 'sinners' who were sent here had never even ridden a horse, let alone such extraordinary archery skills.

But Tieniu is one of his own after all, and Lu Chen is too embarrassed to argue with him.

However, Lu Chen was completely stunned by the next operation.

After waiting for who knows how long, Lu Chen and his party finally arrived.

Just when Lu Chen nervously mounted his horse and charged, the Tieniu beside him seemed to be a different person.

I saw him tense up with muscles all over his body, driving his horse wildly, breaking away from the team, and running amok alone.

When he came to the fence first, he picked up the horse's belly without hesitation, then set up his bow and shot an arrow.

Lu Chen watched helplessly as the bow was pulled into a full moon shape by the iron ox. If he had used a little more force, it might have broken.

"call out!"

The sound of breaking through the air echoed in the field, and it actually shot through the bullseye.
