All the recruits whose names were read by Cao Zhen straightened their backs and greeted the envious looks of others with pride on their faces.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Since these young people have chosen to join the army, they must be eager to get a chance to be promoted. However, this time when they chose to be a corps commander, something incredible happened.
Originally, based on this performance, Ye Ying's five-person team would be dismantled, and Qi Jiao, Zhao Hu, and Shan Fu, who had outstanding performances, could all be transferred to other teams to serve as team leaders, but these guys are like having their heads cut off. The door was closed, indicating that he wanted to stay and serve as an ordinary soldier.
The demands of the three people quickly reached the ears of the battalion commander Cao Zhen, who quickly agreed. As a result, the five-person team successfully became at least the second most powerful team in the recruit camp.
It is the nature of young people to worship the strong. Ye Ying's wonderful performance also conquered all the recruits in the same camp. At some point, everyone started calling him "boss" and he became the most influential figure in the camp.
Every day when he returned to the camp, there were always people actively doing various things for Ye Ying, but he rejected them all because he wanted everyone to get along like brothers.
Why does everyone think that their team is ranked second in strength? That's because this time in the competition in the recruit camp, a super hero emerged, and his realm actually reached the middle level of a second-grade warrior.
This man's name is Zheng Hao, and he is recognized as the number one among the new recruits. Someone in the recruit camp conducted a strength analysis on him and believed that he could defeat four warriors with his own strength. A group of leaf eagles.
There is also Qi Jiao, this guy is a strange person. After competing with Ye Ying, he was convinced that he lost. After that, this guy who always liked others to respect him actually became Ye Ying's younger brother willingly, shouting "boss" and "boss" all the time like Shan Fu and Zhao Hu.
"Everyone, this selection is just the beginning. Those who succeed should not be arrogant, and those who do not succeed should not be discouraged. In the military, as long as you work hard, you will have many opportunities to surpass others. What I am afraid of is not that you are weak, but that you have not made progress. heart." The battalion commander Cao Zhen's voice sounded in the field again, bringing light back to the eyes of some people who were a little downcast.
"After one month, there will be an opportunity to test the results of everyone's hard work, and that is the "Hundred Warriors Competition". I hope our recruit camp can achieve a historic breakthrough in this competition. I am very optimistic about everyone." Cao Zhen's voice was sonorous. Powerful and motivating.
Strictly speaking, the early training of the recruit camp is actually a kind of ability test. From these days of training, the officers in the camp got a rough understanding of the basic conditions of the recruits and identified some recruits with various specialties. Found some objects that can be focused on cultivating.
The next month will be formal training, and the content and intensity of training are very different from the previous period.
The first is a set of simple boxing techniques that each recruit must master proficiently. This is a life-saving skill in close combat, so every recruit must learn it very seriously.
What's more important is weapons training. The camp sent experienced veterans to conduct training on several common weapons in the army, such as swords, shields, spears, bows and arrows, and broadswords.
The sword shield requires the soldier to hold the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand. When the opponent makes a long-range attack, he raises the shield in his left hand to block the enemy's bow and arrow.
When engaging in close combat, the knife in the right hand will come into play to engage in close combat with the enemy. Sometimes, countless sword and shield soldiers can be combined together to raise a huge shield in front of the soldiers as a fortress against enemy attacks.
When engaging in siege warfare, everyone can place their shields above their heads, then lean against each other and approach the enemy's city. This can greatly reduce the risk of the enemy's arrows, crossbows, flying rocks and other defensive equipment. s damage.
This veteran is indeed very experienced. He has received very systematic training on how to hold a shield and hold a knife, how to use a shield for defense, how to use the knife and shield together for close combat, and even how to roll on the ground and cut the legs of a cavalry horse.
Bows and arrows are the most commonly used weapons for long-range attacks, and archery training requires the coordination of hands, eyes, body, and mind.
The veteran explained in detail the steps of positioning, nocking the arrow, buckling the string, pre-drawing, drawing the bow, aiming, taking off the string, and relaxing, and carefully guided every movement of the recruits.
Although many recruits have been exposed to bows and arrows before, they have never had such systematic training. Therefore, in this training, the bows and arrows they shot have improved greatly, both in terms of strength and accuracy.
Even people with outstanding archery skills like Ye Ying and Qi Jiao gained a deeper understanding through the teachings of these veterans, which greatly helped them improve their archery skills.
The spear is known as the "King of Weapons". It is the most common long-range weapon on the battlefield. It can be used offensively and defensively. It can be used to fight enemies with the gun, and it can also be used for long-distance attack and projection. Its basic structure is mainly based on blades and poles. Whether it's to assassinate or block the enemy's sword, he is invincible.
When the two armies are fighting in close combat, the spear has obvious advantages over swords, shields, swords or bows and arrows because of its length and piercing ability. As one of the three elites in Daning, the Mad Lion Army certainly attaches great importance to the use of spears. use.
Ye Ying's kung fu mainly comes from the Ye family's Kung Fu passed down from Ye Fei, the commander of the eagle, by his second master. Among them, spearmanship is the most outstanding, so Ye Ying's marksmanship attainments are much better than those of the veterans who taught him marksmanship. But he didn't show it, because the second master once told him that once Ying Shuai's famous stunt "Ye Long Ba Shi" was performed, it might cause him a lot of trouble.
The marksmanship training in the new barracks mainly includes collapsing, point, piercing, splitting, circling, picking, poking, etc. They are all common methods of marksmanship, which require winding and turning in a circle with appropriate strength. There is still a big gap between this and the Ye family's marksmanship, but it is better because its movements are simple, and most recruits can master it quickly.
A gun master like Ye Ying can master the key points almost after watching it a few times. Unlike the "Ye Long Eight Moves" he learned, it took him two years to master the first move, "Lazy Dragon Turn".
The long-handled broadsword is a good supplement to the long gun. It is also a very important long weapon in the army. Although its attack speed and flexibility are slightly inferior to the long gun, this long knife can cut and stab. For soldiers with sufficient strength, it is a weapon used to break through the opponent's defensive formations, especially shield formations.
The recruits have dabbled in other weapons, such as crossbows, halberds, hammers, axes, etc. According to the words of the battalion commander Cao Zhen, the battlefield is constantly changing and any situation can be encountered, so every weapon should be used. Only those with strong adaptability will have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield.
In general, this month's training has a very obvious effect on these recruits. Regardless of whether they have any previous training, their personal abilities have been greatly improved.
For Ye Ying, the bigger gain is the collective combat capability. The battalion commander Cao Zhen told all the soldiers that on the battlefield, if only one soldier fights alone, the casualties will be extremely huge. Even if your kung fu is particularly high, if you are divided and surrounded by enemies, it will be difficult to escape.
Therefore, the new barracks attaches great importance to collaborative operations among soldiers, and sets up a very effective five-person formation based on each group of five people.
In this formation, everyone has a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for centering and dispatching, using long weapons or long-range attacks with bows and arrows. Some are responsible for attacking, attacking the enemy from the front, and some are responsible for defense, so that those in front can think about it. Fight with the enemy without hesitation.
They can also rotate among themselves. Five people can coordinate and cooperate to kill as many enemies as possible on the battlefield and reduce their own casualties.
Considering the possibility of attrition due to casualties on the battlefield, the battalion also trained some cooperative combat methods of four, three or even two people, so that the soldiers can work closely together even if they are temporarily grouped together.
It has to be said that Cao Zhen's ability to become the battalion commander of the new barracks is indeed outstanding. After more than a month of training, the combat capabilities and self-confidence of the soldiers in the new barracks have been significantly improved.
The training in the recruit camp has been in full swing for more than a month, but it has to be suspended in the past few days because an activity that is very important to the recruit camp - the "Battle of the Hundred Warriors" is about to begin.
The battalion commander Cao Zhen announced that all soldiers would rest for two days and be ready to participate in the "Hundred Troops Competition".
These days, all the recruits already know what the "Hundred Troops Struggle for the Chief" is about. Although this "Hundred Troops Struggle for the Chief" is called "Hundred Troops", there are actually more than a hundred corps (five hundred people) participating.
In this "Hundred Troops Competition", in addition to the 500 people selected from the new barracks to participate, the other two battalions stationed near the new barracks, Shanshan Camp and Baisheng Camp, will also have 500 people participating in this competition.
The soldiers in these two battalions are not new recruits. They are veterans with at least one year of military service. Many of them have even been on the battlefield, so their experience and combat power are definitely better than those of the new recruit battalions.
The process of "Hundred Troops Fighting for the Best" is that one hundred troops sent by each of the three battalions will fight against each other through three stages and be eliminated continuously to determine the final winner.
The first stage is called "Meeting on a narrow road", which means that the New Barracks, Shanshan Camp and Baisheng Battalion each send a team to "kill" each other in a specified space. Each team tries to "kill" the enemy as much as possible. Only Only by "killing" all enemies can your team be considered victorious.
The five-member team that is all "killed" will be eliminated and will not be able to participate in the next round of battle.
After one hundred battles, two hundred teams (one thousand people) will be eliminated, and the remaining one hundred teams can enter the second stage of the competition.
The second stage is called "You and I". The remaining 100 teams are randomly arranged in a wide area with complex terrain and compete with each other. The loser must hand over the small wooden sign representing the qualification to the winner. , and then exit the competition area.
The competition lasts for three days. After three days, the team that has not been completely wiped out can enter the third stage of the competition. Each participating team determines the ranking of this round of competition based on the number of small wooden cards obtained.
Compared with the first stage, which only has strong combat power, the second stage is much more flexible. Participants can hide their teams, form defensive formations, or take the initiative to attack. They can join together vertically and horizontally, or act alone, which further tests the decision-making ability of each participating team.
The third stage is called "Victory Flag". The remaining soldiers in the three battalions no longer stand alone, but gather together and work together to rush to the top of the mountain. They are the first to climb to the top to obtain the "Victory Flag" placed on the top of the mountain. The camp that spreads out on the top of the mountain is the winner.
The first two stages test the individual combat capabilities of each battalion, while the third stage tests the collaborative combat capabilities of each battalion. We must not only find ways to prevent soldiers from the other two battalions from going up the mountain, but also find ways to allow our own troops to go up the mountain. Get to the top as quickly as possible to capture the flag.
This kind of competition is actually very disadvantageous for the recruit camp. In previous competitions, there were even tragedies where all the recruit camp soldiers were eliminated in the first stage of the competition.
