On Youyi Mountain, thirty miles outside Liu'an City, Wu Gen was holding a broken knife in his hand, watching the busy people sent from the city, and chatting with the treasure elephant next to him.
After taking over these 800 people, Wu Gen built the general's stronghold on Youyi Mountain on the grounds that Liu'an City was cramped.
This seems to have become his habit, and he always feels a little uneasy if he doesn't set up the military stronghold on the mountain. In fact, this is not a quirk of his, it's just that he grew up in a mountain village and sincerely feels that the mountains are safer.
Although there are many difficulties in supply and construction in the mountains, Wu Gen is paranoid that only in the mountains can he ensure his safety.
After saying hello to Lu Qing, Wu Gen brought his troops here. Lu Qing didn't object too much. After all, it was only thirty miles, and riding a horse only took one meal. It was just that transporting supplies in the city was a little more troublesome.
When these 800 people were transferred to subordinates, they were already divided into two teams: the human race and the herdsmen. Wu Gen did not want to break this organization for the time being.
After all, I have just arrived here and have not yet established any prestige. Disrupting this system at will may lead to unnecessary changes.
The shepherd's three hundred main soldiers were still led by Tudan, but for the human race, Wu Gen chose Lexi to lead them.
Both teams obeyed Baoxiang's orders and were still called the Fearless Army. As for daily military training, it has not been officially launched because the military camp has not yet been built.
Wu Gen was also observing the cultivation level of these people and whether they had any talents that could be developed. Gradually, Wu Gen discovered that among these herdsmen there was also a soldier named Mu Shi who was quite experienced in doing things. This man made up for many of Tu Dan's mistakes.
As for Lexi, Wu Gen had already seen that he was good at shooting, and he probably got it from hunting animals in the mountains since he was a child. There is also his younger sister Le Yu. At first glance, she looks very beautiful. After more contact with Wu Gen, he realized that this woman was born with supernatural powers and had a bad temper. She would fight with others if she did anything wrong.
In the past few days, Baoxiang has been dealing with several fights, and nine out of ten of them were her. If it weren't for Lexi's sake, Wu Genzhen would have been prepared to deal with this fiery bitch.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the bottom of the mountain again, and after a while, Tu Dan walked up angrily.
"Reporting to Qianhu, my subordinates are dissatisfied with something." Tudan walked up to Wu Gen and said with a heavy hand.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Wu Gen stood up helplessly. I don't know if Tudan was careless or careless. Whenever something happened, he came to Wu Gen to complain.
"Qianhu, my men and I are serious military soldiers. Lexi and the others are just doing some work. Commander Zhang actually asked us to go and build walls together. Isn't it an insult to us? Brothers are all a little bit embarrassed. I don’t accept it.” Tudan shouted loudly, his face flushed with anger.
After arriving here, Wu Gen still appointed Baoxiang as the captain, although the captain only had these 800 people.
In addition to Niu Chao, Ye Ziming, Zhang Wuyang, Zhuo Ke and others have all become commanders. As for Tu Dan and Lexi, they have the title of song leader.
After hearing Tudan's complaint, Wu Gen was also stunned. In the Fearless Army, the army is integrated with the people. When these soldiers are not fighting or training, they have to do everything from hunting to farming. How can there be a pure martial soldier?
After a while, Zhang Wuyang also walked over with an ugly expression, and Le Yu followed from a distance. If Le Xi hadn't been holding him back, I'm afraid the tiger girl would have rushed over.
Baoxiang walked up to Tudan angrily, grabbed him by the front, and
"Boy, why can't you do your job? Maybe you are not a member of the Fearless Army." Facing Baoxiang, Tudan was not afraid.
"Sir, our elite soldiers of the Lu family have never been engaged in production, but only in fighting. Fishing, hunting, farming, and woodworking are the livelihoods of the servants. We are asked to do untouchable things, and some of us are not convinced." Baoxiang was about to get angry, but Wu Gen left. He came over, patted his arm gently, and signaled Tudan to put him down.
"Tu Dan, let me ask you why the soldiers of the Lu family are not engaged in production." Wu Gen asked with a smile.
"Soldiers use force to resist violence and bravery to resist humiliation. We only need to focus on protecting the people's production and not being plundered by outsiders. Why do we need to be like them and condescend to the nobles? To put it bluntly, those human races Those who are weak and guarded and as timid as mollies cannot fight even if they are forcibly pulled together to become soldiers. They just exist as servants to carry out such production tasks." Tudan said eloquently for a long time, but in fact, it was just one thing. I don’t want to do the same thing as the human race.
This was for Wu Gen's sake, so he didn't say anything sarcastic. Wu Gen, the reader, nodded, knowing that these herdsmen looked down upon Zhang Wuyang's background, so they made such a fuss.
"Tudan, since you said that your soldiers are focused on fighting, it means they are good at fighting. That's good. You can't just rely on words whether you can fight or not. Just fight with real swords and guns. In this way, Tu Dan, you send out six people, Zhang Tong will lead Lexi and Le Yu, and the two gangs will fight each other one by one. Among them, Zhang Tong will lead one to three, how about." Wu Gen looked at Tu Dan and suggested seriously.
Kanshu Latudan glanced at Mu Shi, who was following him, and responded with enthusiasm: "My lord, there is no need for this. Just send three of my troops to fight. There is no need to embarrass Commander Zhang." Wu Gen waved his hand casually,
"I have made up my mind, three versus six, Commander Zhang will lead one versus three. The first event, the archery competition, will be between Tu Dan and Lexi. Lexi, do you dare to compete." Lexi strode forward, clasped her fists heavily, Looking excited,
"The villain is willing to compete." Wu Gen had seen his archery skills in private a few days ago. Being able to hand over the first battle to him today was also a sign of Wu Gen's trust in him.
He asked someone to bring over two pairs of bows, and Wu Gen personally handed them over to Tudan and Lexi to inspect whether there were any flaws in the bows.
After both of them nodded, Wu Genfang opened his mouth and said,
"I'll release seven birds in the air for a moment, each with seven arrows. Whoever shoots more will win. Is there any doubt?" Release the birds?
Tudan and Lexi were both stunned. Could it be that thousands of households still raise birds on weekdays?
"I obey my orders." They both responded in unison. Wu Gen asked Zhuo Ke to call everyone together to watch the competition, which Quan regarded as a rare entertainment in the army.
When everyone gathered, Wu Gen ordered Tu Dan and Lexi to get ready. He looked around, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the spot and went straight to the forest on another mountain.
Soon, birds flew up from the forest in panic and fled in all directions. Wu Gen's figure appeared in the canopy of the tree, holding a few birds in his hand, stepping on the undulating branches, and walked back leisurely.
This move alone made most of the people present stunned. Wandering to the middle of the field, Wu Gen said to Tudan and Lexi,
"After I give the order, you two will shoot immediately." Seeing the two men nodding in agreement, Wu Gen stopped his feet and shot into the air like an arrow from the string. Looking at the crowd that was quickly moving away, Wu Gen estimated the distance. , let go of the bird in his hand,
"Fire the arrow." Following the shout, Wu Gen disappeared from the sky, leaving only seven panicked birds flying around.
Tudan and Lexi were startled, but they didn't expect that this was what Wu Gen meant by letting birds go. Lexi was born as an Orion and was the first to react. She lowered her body and took out an arrow from the quiver behind her with her right hand. She nocked the arrow, picked up the string, and released it all in one go. In the blink of an eye, the arrow flew out.
At this moment, Tudan had just strung up his feathered arrow. He couldn't help but panic when he saw this. He shot it in a hurry, but the arrow missed a little and flew towards the mountain in the distance.
As soon as Lexi shot out an arrow, her lower body remained motionless, her eyes were staring at the sky like an eagle, and the second and third arrows had already shot out one after another.
The movement was so fast that a series of afterimages were formed. After all seven arrows were shot out, Tudan was able to shoot only three arrows.
Birds in the sky were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground one after another. Since a soldier picked up the bird, it is easy to tell who shot it.
Tudan's arrow feathers were painted red, but Lexi's were white. Counting it down carefully, Lexi shot four birds, while Tudan only shot one.
Le Yu laughed and stepped forward, holding the four birds with arrows in their hands, proudly showing off to the surroundings.
Although Tudan and his men were dissatisfied, they lost, and they did so in front of everyone, so they had nothing to say.
Especially Wu Gen's moves just now made these people dare not be disrespectful in the slightest. Wu Gen looked at Le Yu who was laughing arrogantly with a smile, and announced loudly: "In the second game, Yu Mushi will fight Le Yu, a sword, a gun, or a fist." Le Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he shook his head The hooked sickle gun rushed out and stared fiercely at Mu Shi on the opposite side.
Mu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wu Gen with a wry smile. When discussing with Tu Dan just now, he was not needed to fight, but Wu Gen unexpectedly named him directly.
Who doesn't know Le Yu? In You Yishan's fearless army, no one dares to challenge him in terms of strength.
Moreover, if the hook and sickle gun weighed 180 kilograms, half of his life would be lost if it hit him.
"Ahem." Wu Gen touched his nose. This was a competition, not a matter of life.
"Le Yu, you are not allowed to use your own weapons in this battle. You must use wooden knives and wooden spears." With a bang, Le Yu threw away the hook and sickle gun in his hand, and shouted dissatisfied at Wu Gen: "I told you earlier, use that kid's weapon." What's the point of fighting? Just use your fists." As he spoke, his fists collided violently, making a banging sound.
Mu Shi on the opposite side was almost in a praying state, looking at Wu Gen pitifully. Wu Gen scratched his head, looked at Le Yu who was full of fighting spirit, and suddenly felt a little sorry for Mu Shi.
To be honest, with Tudan's temper these days, he has made a lot of mistakes, but Mu Shi silently wiped his behind.
Wu Gen was really afraid of getting him into trouble if he really wanted to beat him up, but if he said it out loud, he would have no regrets about it.
"Okay, let's draw a big circle on the ground. Le Yu and Mu Zhen will fight for three rounds in it. The one who can survive the three moves without falling out and not leaving the circle is the winner." In desperation, Wu Gen could only come up with the following solution: Such a bad idea.
Le Yu muttered some dissatisfaction, but Mu actually breathed a sigh of relief. This woman is a real tiger. When we were setting up camp here a few days ago, a colorful tiger jumped out and hurt someone. It was Le Yu who rushed up and killed her hard. The evil tiger beat him into a meat pie, otherwise where would Wu Gen's tiger-skin chair come from?
The two stood face to face in the white circle, each taking a stance. Everyone around became excited. This kind of fighting between people was more exciting than archery.
The shepherds and humans cheered for Mu Shi and Le Yu, and the scene became lively for a while. Looking at the proud Le Yu, even Wu Gen was a little worried whether Mu Shi would be too seriously injured. After all, Le Yu always went all out in his attacks, regardless of the severity.
He also had a bad temper and was not afraid of anyone. He wanted to compete with others all day long, even Wu Gen was not spared.
If Wu Gen hadn't punched the opponent so hard that he sat on the ground and reflected for a long time, how could he have gotten that tiger skin into his hands.
"Die." Le Yu roared, and her reddish-brown hair immediately flew up, like a tiger descending from the mountain, bringing up a gust of wind and pounced on Mu Shi.
After the dull sound of fists clashing, the people around the circle rubbed their eyes that were confused by dirt. Neither of them left the circle, but Le Yu stood in the center of the circle, while Mu Shi had already retreated to the edge of the circle. There was a line of deep footprints left in front of him, and his right arm hung limply, obviously injured.
"If you have some strength, that's good, come again." Seeing that the opponent was forced to the edge of the circle, Le Yu was not a fool, so she pounced on him again, preparing to knock him out of the white circle in one fell swoop.
Looking at the rapidly approaching fist, Mu Shi gritted his teeth. With only one step away from the two, he swiveled his body and went around the circle to avoid Le Yu's offensive.
This move attracted boos from the onlookers from the human race, while the herdsman looked ugly. Everyone could see that Mu Shi couldn't withstand Le Yu's another heavy blow.
Leyu was also furious. She despised people who avoided fighting. Mu Shi's move really aroused her anger.
With a loud roar, Le Yu jumped up with both feet, her body speed suddenly speeding up. This time she had already thought about it. Even if she couldn't control her body and rushed out of the circle, she would admit it. He was a coward who could only avoid. Even if he won, who would think highly of him?
