After all, the people are the people, and all most people can have is their own strength!

On the training ground, only the stone lock lifting test site was crowded with the most people, while the horse riding and shooting test sites were almost empty.

"Get up! Get up! Get up!"

The roar of the people was heard on the training ground.

It's a pity that the thick-browed man who lifted the stone lock could only lift the stone lock, which weighed about two hundred kilograms, and hold it across his chest and abdomen. His dark face was red from suppressing it, and he couldn't lift it above his head.

Zhang Sheng saw the face that was dark and red from holding back, and glanced at Yu Zhong.

This brother is too self-righteous. He can lift a two hundred kilogram stone lock with one hand and easily lift it over his head. He thinks that others can do the same. With this choice, no wonder the names on the registration book after half a day are less than the number of palms.

"Counting you, what's your name?" Yu Zhong saw Zhang Sheng glance at him, and he pretended to be a test with a guilty conscience, avoiding his elder brother's gaze.

"Return, Chief Yu, my name is Zhao Liu."

When the man heard Yu Zhong's question, he let out a sigh of relief, simply put down his hand, and answered in a smooth voice, with a face full of joy. He had found out clearly that all the Anping troops and the garrison commanders were good men. He considered himself a good man and thought that he should associate with good men. Only in this way could he gain more military honors and earn more rewards. Now his wish has come true. , how could you not be happy?

"Just change it, and it'll be a hundred pounds."

Zhang Sheng confessed, turned around and left. He couldn't do it without explaining. If he didn't change the stone lock, he would probably end up with Yu Zhonghui in vain.

"Lao Chuang, how is the selection of the cavalry?" Zhang Sheng, who was leaving, asked Zhou Chuang who was beside him.

"It's not ideal. Even if you can ride a horse and run fast without falling off the horse, it's not enough for two villages. If you want to be able to fight while riding a horse, even one team is not enough." Zhou Chuang told the truth.

Too little, too bad.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but curse in his heart when he heard Zhou Chuang's answer.

This is the status quo.

Horses are more precious than people. Where do ordinary people go to practice riding horses? Besides, today’s horses all have leather low saddles, and the so-called stirrups are just leather covers. When riding a running horse, you have to clamp your legs tightly on the horse’s belly, not to mention fighting?

How about getting the three-piece riding set of horseshoes, high bridge saddles, and iron stirrups?

Zhang Sheng thought about it in his mind for a long time and decided to give up.

It's not difficult to get these three treasures, but if you can't train your own cavalry, you won't be able to build it. Now, if you get that thing, it's just making wedding clothes for others. When will your own cavalry have some appearance, you can't get it again. Not too late.

"Don't intrude, little brother. The military camp is an important place. You can't intrude without permission..."

"I, I want to answer the call..."

While Zhang Sheng was thinking wildly, there was a loud noise in his ears. When he looked up, he saw a short figure carrying a short bow that had broken into the barracks and went straight to the training camp. Behind him, several soldiers were following closely Don't let go.

Looking at each other with Zhou Chuang, several people met the short figure.

The short figure only dealt with the pursuers behind him and was unprepared. He was captured by Zhou Chuang after just one encounter. The little man still struggled. When he saw Zhou Chuang and others wearing leather armor and holding spears, he suddenly became more honest again. .

Only then did Zhang Sheng see that the child caught by Zhou Chuang was estimated to be only fifteen years old. His face was immature, with two big eyes taking up half of his face.

He saw Zhang Sheng staring at him, with a hint of timidity in his big eyes.

"May I have your name?"

Zhang Sheng was attracted by this boy who had the courage to break into the barracks and asked with a smile.

"Li, Li San, others also call me Li, Li Big Eye." The big-eyed boy replied timidly.

"Haha, kid, don't pretend. I think you are not only big-eyed, but also courageous. You have the guts to break into the military camp, but why are you so cowardly when you answer a question?" Zhang Sheng exposed the big-eyed boy's trick.

"Sir, please, let me be a soldier. I can ride a horse and shoot an arrow." Zhang Sheng exposed Li Dayan's trick and his face turned red. However, he was not nervous and immediately said to Zhang Sheng his thoughts.

"Why do you call me sir, and why do you ask me for mercy?"

Zhang Sheng felt happy when he heard this boy's words. He was not happy to be called "sir" by the person in front of him, but he was happy that the boy in front of him was bold, could put on a show, and had a wink. He was a talent that could be made.

"They are all afraid of you. You are their leader." Li Dayan did not hide his secrets anymore.

Yes, he still has brains. The more Zhang Sheng looks at this kid, the more he likes him.

"Boy, tell the truth, how old are you?"

"fifteen."

"You are here to apply. Do the adults in your family know?"

"I know, Aweng said, as long as you accept me," Li Dayan said, and his face turned red for a rare moment.

"Boy, you just said that you can ride a horse and shoot arrows. If you can ride a horse and shoot arrows, I will accept you." Li Dayan's expression just now did not escape Zhang Sheng's observation. This boy is probably not telling the truth. Zhang Sheng Sheng didn't reveal it, he just wanted to reject him through this method.

Fifteen years old was still too young, so I couldn't bear to recruit him to the battlefield.

"Really?" After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Li Dayan's face instantly brightened.

"Lang Jun, this boy is carrying a riding bow." Wu, the guard at the side,

Gui said something.

Damn, Zhang Sheng felt ashamed when he heard Wu Gui's mumbling. Then he remembered that he had been negligent. The bow on this kid's back was obviously much shorter than a walking bow. Wasn't it just a riding bow?

"Of course, as a gentleman says, it's hard to catch a horse, but you have to ride on a horse and hit the target. Everyone can shoot randomly."

Of course Zhang Sheng would not regret it, but he would come back with the word goal.

"Sir, set a goal!" After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Li Dayan immediately responded, as if he was afraid that Zhang Sheng would regret it.

Sample, set a goal? Setting goals is goals.

Zhang Sheng glanced around and saw the spear in the guard's hand, and immediately had an idea.

"Wu Gui, go and stand your spear in the middle of the training ground, find a big coin and hang it on the tip of the spear, and ask Captain Cheng to bring the horses over." Zhang Sheng ordered Wu Gui while observing Li Dayan.

When Li Dayan heard Zhang Sheng's instructions, there was a hint of bitterness on his young face, as if it was difficult to complete.

Wu Gui smiled and ran towards the training ground with his spear in hand.

With the spear standing and the coins hanging, Cheng Lian, who was testing his riding skills, also walked over with a yellow gelding horse.

"Boy, have you seen the target? As long as you hit the money hole on the galloping horse, I will not only accept you, but also give you this yellow gelding." Zhang Sheng took the reins from Cheng Lian and personally He handed the horse into Li Dayan's hands and temporarily increased the weight.

"Really? Sir, you must keep your word." Li Da looked at the yellow gelding with ecstasy on his face.

Damn, looking at the sudden flow of light in a pair of big eyes, Zhang Sheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into the trick of the kid in front of him...
