The news spread quickly as if it had wings.
As soon as Ren Ning stepped into the fifth forward camp, the soldiers were already talking in groups.
"Have you heard? Our fifth battalion finally has a new commander." Someone made a fuss.
Some people are not surprised.
"There's nothing strange about it. Liu Qianchang was not in good health to begin with, and later he was so seriously injured in the west, so he couldn't lead us anymore. I don't know who the new Qianchang is! But don't do it. Gilded piece of shit."
"That's right. The general's incompetence exhausted the three armies. Please protect the Bodhisattva and give us a wise and powerful leader in the fifth battalion. If my dream comes true, I will train hard in the future and never be lazy."
hey-hey!
A smart man smiled proudly: "According to reliable information, the name of the new eldest son of our fifth battalion is Ren Ning."
Ren Ning?
Everyone looked at each other and recalled the shocking arrow on the challenge stage when they sent the spirit back to his hometown.
"Is it that Ren Ning?"
"That's right, it's the Ren Ning you know."
Woohoo!
After confirming that the candidate for the vanguard was by no means some idiot, let alone a gilded second generation, a group of soldiers suddenly became very excited and arranged their beds with great interest.
The next day, Ren Ning led Lei Er and Xiao Gang to nearly a thousand subordinates who looked depressed.
Are the ants in Guangxin County vegetarian?
The Starfall Legion has just arrived, and the quantities of various necessary anti-ant and insecticides are temporarily insufficient. At first, all the soldiers in the fifth battalion didn't take it seriously, but soon they were all tormented by mosquitoes all night long, with red packets all over their heads and faces.
cough!
Everyone cheered up, gritted their teeth and worked hard to maintain their posture, hoping to leave a good impression on the new grown-up. However, my body was too itchy and I would twist from time to time.
This was the situation in front of Ren Ning.
Everyone was hunched over with shy stomachs, trying hard to avoid rubbing their clothes on the itchy parts of their bodies, otherwise they would want to rub them more and more. The queue twisted left and right for a while, which was eye-catching.
"I, Ren Ning, will be the commander of the fifth battalion from today on!"
"I've met Ren Qianchang." A messy and deep voice sounded randomly.
Ren Ning didn't take it seriously, nodded and said: "Each hundred commanders will check the number of people in the headquarters."
"One, two, three...ten!"
Counting was going on everywhere.
It didn't take long for the data to be compiled.
The whole battalion of nine hundred and thirty men arrived in full force.
Ren Ning was very satisfied.
"All the brothers who can arrive are here, which is great. The remaining seventy or so people will be replenished from the reserve camp soon. By then, there will be another thousand good brothers in the fifth battalion."
"I never like to waste words. In one sentence: Sweat more during training and bleed less during battle. Now each commander will lead his team to follow me and prepare to start training as planned."
Most of the Xingluo Forward Battalion is a light cavalry camp, but it is very tiring to travel a long distance, so the training is relatively easy.
I just crawled and lay down in the bamboo forest to rest, staying still for two hours until lunch.
Most of the soldiers had not slept all night, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Entering the bamboo forest, everyone was refreshed.
Buzz! !
If the campground is a small mosquito nest, then this bamboo forest is definitely a big mosquito nest. As far as the eye can see, there is a large area of darkness everywhere, which is daunting.
Ren Ning took the lead and walked in.
This is nothing. When he was on a mission in his previous life, he once lay down in a swamp full of locusts for several days in order to sneak attack on a certain target.
Qian Chang had already gone in, and no matter how difficult it was for the other soldiers, they had no choice but to follow them in.
Mosquito repellent and insect repellent are consumables, and Xingluo doesn’t have many of them. Fortunately, the Yan Hui Army left behind enough anti-mosquito hats when they moved north.
However, the hat only protects the head after all.
Not long after they lay down, everyone felt like they were turning into Tang Monk flesh. Countless mosquitoes swarmed over and landed on their bodies, making them as black as if they had an extra layer of armor.
"Everyone is trying to protect themselves, and you are not allowed to move after counting to ten." Ren Ning's voice rang out, "On the first day of training, I can be more tolerant. Anyone who wants to move will have to lie down for every three times he is caught. Hours. Qian Chang Bai Chang Shi Chang is no exception."
Everyone was stunned and looked forward.
After Ren Ning finished speaking, he piled dry bamboo leaves and mud on his body, covered himself up, and then lay there obediently and let the mosquitoes bite him.
"one!"
"two!"
The soldiers were silent and quickly followed the same pattern, helping each other to cover others with leaves and soil. Then they waited quietly for the count of ten, then lay down quietly and stopped moving.
As for whether you can prevent mosquitoes or not, you have to leave it to fate.
I don't know how many bamboo leaves have fallen on the ground, and the smell is unpleasant. Everyone just made a fuss, and the dizzying musty smell became even stronger.
The soldier lying on the ground rolled his eyes so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
Not only that, many people soon discovered that there were countless ants or insects in the fallen leaves, and even centipedes of large and small sizes scurrying around.
"Fuck, there's a centipede!" Someone wanted to get up.
"There are some here too."
Lei Er, who acted as an inspection gendarmerie, walked around with a notebook on inspection.
"Brothers, don't worry. Centipedes are nothing here in the south. There are poisonous snakes and insects that are more violent than them. In fact, all kinds of poisonous insects are more afraid of humans. It's better if you don't take the initiative to attack them. And the legion is equipped with good antidotes. , if treatment is timely, few people will die from this."
"So just stay on your side and if anyone tries again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The soldiers burst into tears...
Not long after, Guangxin Sanduo finally arrived as promised.
Wow.
The sky was clear, and God didn't seem to even bother to thunder, but heavy rain came pouring down.
In less than a few breaths, the soldiers on the ground were soaked with water.
Fortunately, the climate in the south is hot, and the occasional rain can make it feel cooler.
But no one can withstand prolonged rain.
For the first time, everyone felt that lying down was a kind of torture. However, the thousands of elders in front of them were there to share the joys and sorrows, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it silently.
After two hours of hard work, the meal bell rang, but nine out of ten people in the camp could not get up.
When I returned to the barracks and took off my clothes, I saw that my whole body was red and swollen. At first glance, it looks like being stung by wasps.
"This damn place is really not for people!" the soldiers complained, "I would rather attack the city."
As light cavalry, the Fifth Battalion has never been the main force in attacking cities. But they also know how terrifying it is to siege a city, simply risking human lives.
Ha ha!
Someone laughed: "You are not afraid of attacking the city. Are you afraid of small mosquitoes and poisonous insects?"
"That's right." Others agreed: "It's just itchy and uncomfortable, but it won't kill anyone. What's there to complain about?"
"Let's make peace with it now. Besides, even Qian Chang took the lead and stayed with us to suffer. If we are uncomfortable, shouldn't he be uncomfortable? If he can endure it, so can we!"
"That's the truth."
That's what he said, but no one had any appetite. But if I don’t have an appetite, I still have to eat lunch, otherwise I don’t know what kind of suffering I will suffer in the afternoon.
Xiao Gang was also lying on the ground, and he was lying next to Ren Ning, so he was most aware of what Ren Ning had just done.
He looked at the man opposite him eating his food calmly, and he couldn't help but admire him.
"Brother Ren, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Ren Ning nodded, "It's a little uncomfortable. But as long as you get used to it, it will be bearable."
"Since the legion arranges training like this, it is not to torment us. It has its own purpose. Everyone just needs to do a good job."
