After the battle of early spring, there was a period of calm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The levy of new recruits also began at this time.
Regardless of cultivation or background, when you enter the barracks, you must start from the bottom.
Unless he can make miraculous achievements like Xu Duan, even if he is a noble person, he will be a dragon in the military camp and a tiger in the barracks.
Even Hong Xiaolong, when he first came from the legislative academy, was like all the students, he didn't have any military rank, he was just an ordinary soldier.
On the third day after the Battle of Early Spring, a lot of people came to the border city, all of them were conscripts from within the empire.
These recruits, in the border city, need to be selected in one step.
In these three days, a group of generals also emerged in the Sharp Knife Battalion, of course, within the Sharp Knife Battalion.
Xu Duan organized 5,000 people, first made a self-selection, and then competed in strength, whoever is strong will listen to whomever he wants.
The Sharp Knife Battalion is a whole, and as a general, it is natural to be strong in order to bring up the enthusiasm of the people below.
Xu Duan took more than a dozen people selected, of course, almost all of these dozen people were from the Ape Gate.
It's even more Zhou Qijun and Hong Xiaolong, they came out with their strength, so naturally they didn't let Xu Duan cheat for personal gain.
Of course, Xiang Fei is also among them, and the other is Xiang Fei's second brother, Liu Tai.
A group of more than a dozen people took the lead in coming to the place where the recruits gathered and started a new round of selection.
"General." After Xu Duan saw Yue Fei, he hurriedly walked over and greeted.
"What's wrong!" Yue Fei said angrily.
Anyway, Xu Duan has nothing to do, he won't look for Yue Fei, and generally if he finds Yue Fei, even if it's a good thing, Yue Fei has to be angry.
"This, I want to pick someone." Xu Duan smiled lightly.
"Just pick, whatever you want, I don't care if you take it all, it's better to bring them all like the sharp knife battalion." Yue Fei glared at Xu Duan and said.
"Isn't it just ten middle-grade Qiankun stones, Yue Feng, it seems that your father is really the same as you say, stingy."
"It's just, it's stingy!" The law is in line with the Tao.
"Get out, dangle in front of General Ben again, General Ben will beat you to death!"
Yue Fei flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
It's okay that this Ming Law doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Yue Fei gets angry.
Just because of Ming Lu's demonic laughter, Yue Fei wanted to beat him up when he thought of what happened that day.
"Let's go, let's pick someone!" Xu Duan smiled.
In fact, Xu Duan, as an officer at the level of a corps commander, can just pick people directly, but he still thinks that if he talks to Yue Fei first, it will be troublesome in addition to the problem for a while.
"Why! I'm here to be at your disposal! I'm not going! Let me go to the reserves! ”
"That's right! Me too, I also go to the reserves! ”
The two young men looked at the dozen or so soldiers in front of them, and their faces were not afraid at all.
The two of them are dressed in gold and satin, and they look like children of rich families, and they are not weak in cultivation.
Xu Duan and the others came when they heard the sound, and when they saw the two young people who were full of energy, Xu Duan's eyes also lit up.
"Don't be angry, I don't know why you're angry?"
Xu Duan walked up with a smile on his face under the surprised gaze of several brothers.
The dozen or so soldiers, when they saw Xu Duan's clothes, were in awe, and just wanted to say something, but were stopped by Xu Duan.
"Who are you? Look at you like this, your status is not low! ”
"I, I'm in the reserve army, I've only been in the army for less than a year, I have some acquaintances in the reserve army, you want to come in?"
"Ah, it turned out to be the captain of the reserve army, captain, what do you think of the two of us?"
One of the two, a slightly chubby, tall young man, came to Xu Duan with a smile on his face.
"Well, it's not bad, work hard with me in the future, it just so happens that the reserve army is short of people now!" Xu Duan nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, thank you, Captain!"
"Register them, you know what to do!" Xu Duan smiled and looked at the captain of the dozen or so soldiers.
"Yes!" The captain glanced at the young man dancing happily with pity, and mourned for them in his heart.
The training method of the Sharp Knife Battalion, even the Yue Jiajun calls it the training of the devil, and if you go in, you don't want to come out again.
"What's your two names?" Xu Duan asked with a smile.
"My name is Wang Yuan!"
"Yu Yang!"
Xu Duan nodded, the taller one was called Wang Yuan, and the shorter one was called Yu Yang.
Xu Duan continued to wander through the crowd of recruits, and when he saw a good one, he went up directly to ask for it, and no one stopped him anyway.
Wang Yuan and Yu Yang also noticed the difference in Xu Duan's identity, and their expressions were full of pride.
During the conversation, Xu Duan learned about the backgrounds of the two, both of whom were outstanding disciples of the two big families in the imperial capital.
Originally, they didn't want to come to be soldiers, but the family forced the two of them to come, and the two of them came helplessly.
In terms of cultivation, both of them are third-order Spirit Gathering Realm, which is why Xu Duan chose them, anyway, they will enter the Sharp Knife Camp for a while, and it will not be so easy to get out.
"General!"
"Done?"
"Yes."
"Okay, send me five thousand sets of star armor."
"Yes!"
Wang Yuan heard the conversation between the two, quietly stepped forward, and said, "You're not the captain?" ”
"When did I say I was the captain?"
"Then you are so young, you don't seem to be as old as me, how can you be a general?"
Yu Yang also looked at Xu Duan curiously.
"I'll tell you, don't talk nonsense, Yue Fei is my uncle." Xu Duan whispered to the two.
"Oh, I'll need a lot of care from my brother in the future." Wang Yuan said, stuffing a Sumeru bag into Xu Duan's hand.
"Yes, yes, I hope my brother will take care of me." Yu Yang echoed.
"You're welcome, haha." Xu Duan said with a smile.
Zhou Qijun and a few people, listening to Xu Duan's words in the back, wanted to laugh vigorously, but they didn't dare to laugh, after all, these two people came from the pit, and if they wanted to tell them the truth, they would also get the sharp knife camp.
There are a lot of people who come to join the army, like this, they are forced by their families, and Xu Duan specially looked for these people and accepted them all one by one.
In fact, Yue Fei didn't want to accept these people, and they didn't have the heart to be loyal to the country, so what was the use of accepting them?
Now is not a time of peace, it is a time of national crisis, and what is needed is a heart that is loyal to the country.
Nearly 4,000 people were found before and after, and the remaining 1,000 people, Xu Duan found some people who were about the same age as him, and now Xu Duan is only seventeen, of course, he is also a little adult in the Eastern Continent.
"Let's go! Let's go to the camp where the reserves are! Xu Duan said with a smile.
"Oooh! Let's go! Go to the reserves! ”
“……”
The five thousand people selected by Xu Duan looked at the recruits around them with smiles on their faces.
Yue Fei had long heard about the group of people selected by Xu Duan, anyway, he didn't care, and it just happened to solve a big problem for him.
Originally, he planned to send these people back, but now they were taken away by Xu Duan, which also saved some expenses.
"Rabbit cub, turn your elbow outward, one of the ten middle-grade Qiankun stones!"
Yue Fei saw Yue Feng's smug appearance in the crowd, and a smile appeared on his face, although he usually taught Yue Feng a lesson, but Yue Feng was his most beloved son.
"Brother, aren't we there yet?" Wang Yuan walked up and said with a smile.
"Come on, the reserve army is in the northwest corner."
Xu Duan walked and met the patrolling soldiers, who all saluted respectfully.
"General!"
"Hmm."
"Camp Commander Xu!"
"Hmm."
"General Xu!"
"Hmm"
“……”
The 5,000 people behind Xu Duan became more and more wrong the more they listened, and they followed Xu Duan inside, how could they go more and more soldiers, and they didn't look like a reserve army at all.
When they came to the Sharp Knife Camp, everyone in the Sharp Knife Camp was already ready.
Twine, batons, whips, and more.
"Assemble the whole camp!" Xu Duan shouted.
Five thousand people, holding the tools in their hands, had a smile on their faces.
Xu Duan looked at the smiles on the faces of these people, and naturally knew what they were thinking.
"Obediently, this is a rookie egg, let them taste it today, what kind of suffering Lao Tzu has suffered!"
Yes, everyone thinks this in their hearts, even Xu Duan.
"Start training recruits!"
