The fierce sound of the horn pierced the early morning of the death row camp, accompanied by the horn, the drum beat was excited, and the sergeants shouted orders, awakening the sweet dreams of the death row prisoners.

"The school yard is lined up. Lined up...... The ...... of the queue was heard everywhere in the death row camp with the shouts of the sergeants.

The tent door of the 36th battalion opened, and a sergeant shouted at the door: "Hurry, hurry, line up at the front of the battalion." ”

At the urging of the sergeant, figures appeared in front of the doors of the various tents, and a group of prisoners in a queue ran to the school grounds. From time to time, prisoners who moved a little slower were punched, kicked, yelled at and whipped with leather whips by the sergeants.

In the midst of the shouting and scolding one after another, all battalions and teams lined up in the school field, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

In the patrol passage around the school grounds, sergeants are on guard with guns and knives, and the patrol team patrols back and forth, and soldiers stand on the high platform, looking around with bows, closely monitoring the prisoners below.

In front of the school field is a platform, in front of which the sergeants are strictly guarded, with swords and guns, the cold light is shining, and the murderous atmosphere is high.

Flags are flying around the platform, and in the middle is a large flag, embroidered with a flying leopard with long wings, and a big "Xu" character is written on it.

A middle-aged man stands on the stage. This person is tall, with round eyes and sword eyebrows, an angular face, a cold and arrogant face, a silver helmet, gold armor, and a red cloak.

"Who is this person?" asked Lei Shaoxuan quietly.

"Zhang Lun, the defender of the death row camp and the general of the Fifth Army of the Northwest Army. Shen Xiaobao said in a low voice.

"You are death row prisoners, you are all deserving people, you will be sent to the battlefield, to be sent to death. When the prisoners in the audience heard this, they suddenly became agitated.

Zhang Lun sneered and said: "You are a group of scumbags, originally worthless, sending you to death is because your death can make our warriors die a few fewer people, this is your value." ”

Zhang Lun waved his hand, and the audience fell silent.

Zhang Lun continued: "Every year, death row inmates are sending, and less than half of them survive a year, and less than half survive two years. After two years, you can enter the forward battalion and become a sergeant, which is the grace of Your Majesty. For the sake of this grace, you must fight with your own lives. ”

Zhang Lun looked around the audience and said, "You are committing a capital crime, and you can only redeem it with your life." Either die on the battlefield and atone for your sins, or you will redeem the lives of your enemies and come back alive. Until one day you will be able to go home. ”

Zhang Lun paused for a moment and said sharply: "If you want to survive, you must practice hard." You're on death row, don't expect us to treat you like a human being. From the day you commit the capital sin, you are no longer human beings, but dead people. You can only be called human beings when you go to the battlefield, kill one enemy after another, atone for your sins little by little, and return home alive. ”

A tall sergeant stepped forward with a flag in his hand and shouted, "This drill is to run laps along the school field to test your physical fitness. After the start of the running circle, the people in each camp tent take care of each other, and no more than three people are allowed to fall behind. ”

A team, a battalion of death row inmates followed in turn and began to run along the school field.

Why do you do this when you want to be ranked? But since you have a ranking, most of them will give honors and even rewards, and everyone in the camp thinks so, and no one is willing to be left behind. At the beginning of the lap, the prisoners of the various camps fought bravely and ran forward aggressively.

In the early spring morning, the weather is still cold, and the rapid inhalation of cold air makes people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

The school field is very large, and after a few laps and a few laps, there are already people who have fallen behind one after another, and as long as there are more than three people left behind in a camp, all of them will be driven to the sidelines by the sergeants and given a number.

Lei Shaoxuan realized something, and whispered to Hu Youde: "Don't run so fast, run slowly, don't stop." ”

"Why?" asked Hu Youde, puzzled.

"I don't know, but it's probably not a good thing for someone to stop first. ”

Lei Shaoxuan remembered Zhang Lun's words, the value of prisoners lies in saving more warriors. I couldn't help but feel a little frightened, secretly thinking about something.

Lei Shaoxuan continued: "The situation is unknown, let's stick to the end, but don't run too fast and too far ahead, just keep it in the top third." ”

Lei Shaoxuan observed the teams running in front of the thirty-six camp tents, deliberately restraining their speed, Hu Youde and the White Lady led by Lei Shaoxuan, and slowed down their speed. Three people could not be left behind in each camp tent, Lei Shaoxuan and the three of them were slow, and the speed of the 36th battalion was forced to slow down.

Yelu Qingshi, the leader, felt something different, looked back, and found that the speed of the entire battalion was slowed down by Lei Shaoxuan and the other three, but Lei Shaoxuan and the other three ran obviously easily, and they didn't feel particularly strained, and they couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Running so slowly, dragging everyone down, looking for a draw?" Yelu Qingshi said angrily.

"I can't really run, don't be embarrassed. Lei Shaoxuan was unmoved and said.

Yelu Qingshi was so angry that his heart was on fire, and he just wanted to continue scolding, but the sergeant on the side saw him disrupting the queue and whipped him on the back several times, Yelu Qingshi had to join the team and ran forward without hurrying.

Yelu Qingshi secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, but he had no choice but to continue to urge the team to speed up running.

The overall physical fitness of the people in the 36th camp is very good, and if they work hard, they will be able to run in the forefront and get a good ranking.

In the past exercises, those who have achieved the top rank can show their faces in each battalion, and there are some material rewards, and naturally everyone wants to get the ranking. People don't just want face, they also want things, and there are few things in the death row camp, and they have to fight hard for everything.

Yelu Qingshi urged the team to run quickly many times, but Lei Shaoxuan was unmoved, still running unhurriedly, always maintaining about one-third of the ranks, and then stopped, seeing that the three of them were not running, the 36th battalion was forced to stop reporting.

"Why?" Yelu Qingshi roared, glaring at Lei Shaoxuan angrily, and the rest of the people had unkind eyes and gloomy faces.

"Yes, if you don't say one, two, three, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. Luo Hao's voice was raised.

Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan looked at Luo Hao.

Seeing Lei Shaoxuan's gaze, Luo Hao was startled, and said in a panic: "No...... No, I didn't mean that. ”

"Do you want to run fast and get the top ranking, or do you want to live a long life?" said Lei Shaoxuan unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Yelu Qingshi was stunned, Cao Aoran raised his eyebrows, Ling Jun looked over, and everyone stopped moving.

"The role of the death row camp is to demoralize the enemy and dampen the enemy's morale. Lei Shaoxuan said, "Every time there is a battle, the death row camp is driven as the former enemy, but there is no one to command when the battle is engaged, why?"

Lei Shaoxuan slowed down for a moment and said: "The death row camp is full of outlaws, which one doesn't hate the guard sergeant? The sergeant entered the death row camp to command the battle, and most of them were killed by the death row prisoner, so the battle in the death row camp is destined to have no one to command. ”

"What do you want to say?" said Yelu Qingshi in confusion, but the person next to him was already pondering.

Lei Shaoxuan continued: "If there is no command in the battle, there will be no formation change, and you can only rely on a fixed formation to fight. The simplest formation is the phalanx. Row after row, at the same time, at the same time, rushed forward. ”

Lei Shaoxuan paused for a moment and said, "In order to prevent collision with the enemy and not collapse at the first touch, then the strongest person will definitely be selected to rank in the first few rows." The one who rushed to the front died the fastest, you say, do we want to rank or live a long life?"

"What does this have to do with the running rankings?" Yelu Qingshi still didn't react, but everyone understood that the top ranking was naturally the strongest.

"Death row prisoners are really lined up every time. Shen Xiaobao whispered.

"Then let's run last?" Luo Hao said.

Lei Shaoxuan shook his head and said, "The weaker the people, the more the military wants them to be consumed as soon as possible." After the strongest, the weakest camp must be put in line. ”

"I estimated that we would rank the strongest and weakest, and then rank the strongest and weakest in order, and according to our ranking, it is very likely to be at the bottom. ”

"What if it's not like that?" Ling Jun said.

Lei Shaoxuan glanced at Ling Jun and said, "What does it matter? The military will not carefully explore which battalion's combat strength is strong or weak at all, and will only be ranked according to the ranking, as long as no one is specifically eyeing us, our ranking is not surprising, even if we are not ranked behind, we will never be ranked first." ”

Everyone looked at Lei Shaoxuan, their faces changed slightly, and they really knew Lei Shaoxuan for the first time.

Seeing extraordinary, with simple exercises, you can see so deeply, and formulate corresponding countermeasures; ruthless, just entered the camp to slaughter Xu Jun; calm, did not rely on the strength of Hu Youde and the White Lady, persecuted Yelu Qingshi; righteous, Hu Youde followed with all his heart, and did not hesitate to stand up for the White Lady, all of which made everyone put the word of righteousness on Lei Shaoxuan's head; shameless, the three of them were alone with others, which has become Lei Shaoxuan's shameless signboard.

The most important thing is that no matter what the environment is, Lei Shaoxuan did not sink, practicing knives during the day, going out to practice at night, erecting an example, giving everyone a reference, and not letting himself sink.

The people in the thirty-six camps are not good at stubble, Yelu Qingshi is brave and rude; Cao is arrogant and vicious, lurking like a poisonous snake; Ling Jun is affectionate and sexual, but he is paranoid and stubborn; Shen Xiaobao seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he is insidious and cunning, and he can't be guarded against; the rest of the people that Lei Shaoxuan didn't notice were inconspicuous and seemingly simple, and Lei Shaoxuan believed that they were definitely not ordinary people. These people were secretly convinced of Lei Shaoxuan.

Everyone thought about it and dispersed, Luo Hao just wanted to leave, but when he saw Lei Shaoxuan's sneering eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but panic, hurriedly retreated, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Hu Youde and the White Lady stood up, Lei Shaoxuan smiled and said to Luo Hao: "Master Luo, how many eyes does Lord Ma have?"

"Young Master Lei, spare my life! I was wrong, can't I be wrong?" Luo Hao felt a cool breath in his heart.

"Hit!" Lei Shaoxuan spat out a word.
