Looking at the generals under his command, Shen Ning coughed.

Everyone's eyes were focused, and Shen Ning spoke: "Everyone, in the past few days, I have carefully observed your training process, most of the soldiers follow the orders and prohibit them, but there are also a small number of soldiers who are casual and do not abide by military rules. So I feel it is necessary to emphasize, next I will pay close attention to the order and prohibit, Huo Tianxing will lead people to form an inspection team, holding my order, inspect your soldiers and horses, if there is a violation of military rules and discipline, disrespect the password, severely punished! The higher-level building owners and military masters will be implicated, do you hear? ”

"Humble orders!" Everyone stood up and clenched their fists.

Don't look at Shen Ning's age, he is not enough to be weak, but the majesty is there. Some time ago, when the military camp was built and opened, Shen Ning built a high platform and beat all the twelve building owners off the stage in front of more than 10,000 soldiers, directly establishing a certain majesty.

Then, seven military regulations were set.

"The first one, those who do not obey the order, the rod will be punished fifty!"

"The second one, those who escape from the battlefield in fear, behead!"

"The third one, those who seize other people's military merits, behead!"

"Fourth, those who loot civilians, behead!"

...

The seven military regulations are the rules set by Shen Ning for his Tiger Roaring Army, and Shen Ning has high hopes for this army and horses, so he naturally has to manage it strictly.

Shen Ning continued: "The second thing is to train with strong intensity, news has come from the palace, and it won't be long before we will go to the north of Xuzhou to meet the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou." You have just been formed, and the run-in is not enough, and now when you go to the battlefield, you are sending heads to the Qingzhou soldiers. Therefore, for the sake of your own lives, starting today, increase the intensity of training, in addition to the necessary daily military posture, drills, and run-in battle formations, add new training items, cross-country running and battle between the two armies! At the same time, I personally funded three meals a day to five meals, and the food standard was raised. As for the battle between the two armies, I am going to hold the first confrontation match of the Tiger Roaring Army. ”

As soon as these words came out, the owners of the buildings under their command were curious.

Shen Ning continued: "The competition takes your twelve main teams as the participating groups, and the location is selected twenty miles away from the north, and the teams that are fighting are determined by drawing lots. Both teams protect the flag, and the one who wins the opponent's flag wins and advances, and so on, and finally competes for the top spot. The top team will be rewarded with five taels of silver for each soldier! And reward military merit! ”

There are 1,000 people under the command of the lord of the building, and each person is rewarded with five taels, which is five thousand taels, which is not a big amount of money for Shen Ning now.

But for the soldiers, it was a windfall, equivalent to a few months' military pay.

What's more, military merit is also rewarded, so the owners of the building are eager to try, and the fighting spirit is immediately mobilized.

Shen Ning said again: "This battle is equivalent to a real battlefield fight, but the weapon is turned into a wooden stick, and after the meeting, I will order someone to post an official document detailing the rules of this match." At the same time, I would like to warn you that there are some rules to be followed in the competition, and you can't cheat, I will arrange an overseer, and once someone is found to be not following the rules, the whole team will be disqualified from the competition. Did you hear that? ”

"Humble duty understands!" The twelve lords shouted in unison.

Shen Ning nodded, asked them to step back, and at the same time asked Huo Tianxing to post the official document of the confrontation.

At this time, Shen Ning and the three masters will be left in the tent.

"General, can I bring someone to attend?" Li Xiaojie said excitedly.

Shen Ning glared at him and said, "Don't make a fuss, this competition is not for fun." ”

Li Xiaojie said: "I'm not here to play, I think this kind of confrontation is of great significance, so that the soldiers know the cruelty on the battlefield, so that they can not only familiarize themselves with the battlefield as soon as possible, but also run in with their companions and build trust." ”

Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan also nodded in agreement.

Shen Ning smiled: "So this competition must be done well!" I estimate that when the confrontation is over, that is, when we go to the battlefield, I try my best to delay time, but I can't delay it too long, I hope that this confrontation will let the soldiers know the cruelty of the battlefield, and can make this newly established Tiger Roaring Army grow sharp teeth and fangs. And as the commander of the army, it is also very important for you to cultivate the loyalty and military spirit of your subordinates in addition to commanding the army. ”

"Humble duty understands." The three of them bowed their hands.

The confrontation was the fastest way for Shen Ning to think of to train his soldiers.

There are not many rules in this competition, the only most important rule is that if you are hit by a wooden stick or an arrow feather without a cluster of arrows, the injured person will have to retreat voluntarily.

Because in the real battlefield, if a key position is hit, it is basically certain death.

The confrontation is not a joke, you can still kill the enemy if you are hit by an arrow in the chest, and if you cheat the ghost, then you will break the rules, and the confrontation will become a mutual assault competition, and there is no meaning.

So this rule must be enforced.

As for the rest, there are no rules, as long as you can capture the opponent's military flag, then it is considered a victory.

And as the news of the confrontation spread throughout the barracks, it immediately became the hottest topic.

The generous rewards made the soldiers eager to try, so the next training was extraordinarily energetic, so that the team could run in faster and faster.

Don't talk about money, this thing can increase cohesion.

And then, the soldiers' meals have changed from three meals a day to five, and there is no need to worry about starvation, so the soldiers do not have to eat at a time, which will affect training, and they can eat a full meal. And the food treatment is not bad, some soldiers are grateful to Shen Ning, who has ever seen the master who paid out of his own pocket?

If such a general doesn't give him his life, who will he give his life!

Shen Ning's prestige and reputation were established in this way, and the price was that the silver was smashed into it.

But it doesn't matter, the food of more than 10,000 people is affordable for Shen Ning, Xun Zhiruo's silver has been sent, and Shen Ning doesn't love money, as long as he spends money to build a brave army, it will be worth it.

Seven days later, the match officially began.

Shen Ning convened an all-army meeting, and then prepared a box for the twelve building owners to touch the ball.

There are ten white balls in the box, one red ball and one blue ball, and the one who touches the red ball and the blue ball is the first two teams to fight against each other.

So, under the gaze of the soldiers of the whole army, the twelve owners began to touch the ball, and in the end, the owner of Fang Yuan under Zhang Liao touched the red ball, and the owner of Zhao Xing under Li Xiaojie touched the blue ball.

Then, the army marched to the area where the confrontation was held, and the army waited on the periphery, with the two lords holding their respective flags and the territory of the two sides in front of them, and then the battle began.

It's a pity that there are no drones in this era, so you can't watch the whole battle, and you can only listen to the scout's report, so it's very boring for Shen Ning. But for the soldiers watching the battle, they were very excited. For them, any news from the scouts can cause a lot of discussion.

This is the first match, so it's the hottest.

On the Fang Yuan side of the red side, 300 soldiers were left behind to guard the military flag, and the remaining 700 soldiers were divided into three routes, and then attacked.

Zhao Xing on the blue side was mainly defensive, and the battle between the two sides officially began.

Although the wooden stick was used instead of the knife and gun, the wooden stick was soft enough to hit the body, and both sides wanted to win, so they naturally would not show mercy, so they were ruthless.

This is war.

If it is a knife or gun, it is not painful to cut it on the body, but the skin is open, the bleeding is not stopped, and the life is lost.

Some of them were red-eyed, fighting to death, they were stabbed in the chest with a wooden stick, and they wanted to attack, but they suddenly thought of the rules of the competition, once they violated the rules, it was likely to affect the whole team, so in desperation, they could only raise their hands high, indicating that they had sacrificed. The opponent then gives up the attack and turns to attacking the others.

In this way, the red side did not go low and began to rout.

The blue side took advantage of the victory to pursue, leaving only more than 100 people to guard the military flag.

Just when the spectators thought that the blue side would win, Li Xiaojie was making fun of Zhang Liao: "Zhang Liao, it seems that I won the first game, hehe..."

Zhang Liao smiled mysteriously and said: "The military flag has not been taken yet, and it is not known who will kill the deer!" ”

Just as the blue side was chasing the red side, when they saw that they had killed the red side's military flag camp, they suddenly found that there were only a few of the 300 soldiers of the red side guarding the military flag.

It turned out that the 300 soldiers of the red side had already made a detour and lurked near the blue side, and the fleeing red side attracted the blue side, creating an opportunity at the cost of defeat and fleeing, and the 300 red soldiers immediately attacked and captured the blue flag.

When Li Xiaojie learned that the lord under his command had been defeated, he said angrily: "Zhang Liao, the soldiers under your command are really cunning enough. ”

"This is not a match, this is a real battlefield, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating." Zhang Liao replied.

Subsequently, the red and blue sides assembled and returned, and Shen Ning commented on the tactics of the red side and severely criticized the blue side's rashness. If this is a battlefield, then the blue side will lose its territory, or even destroy the whole army!

The defeated Blue soldiers lowered their heads one by one, their faces full of shame.

Especially the owner of the building, Zhao Xing, and the brigade commander and team owner under his command felt ashamed.

And those soldiers who sacrificed were full of shame, they actually "died in battle" and had no face to face others. If it's on the battlefield, will it be dead?

At this moment, the losing blue side gritted their teeth one by one, shame and courage.

And this first battle also provided experience for the other ten teams watching the game.

Hard-hitting is not the way to win, you must think of a good plan to crush the other party.

And then counting the exploits of both sides, one of the soldiers on the red side "killed" more than 20 blue soldiers and captured the blue flag, and this person was Chang Yuchun.

Shen Ning summoned Chang Yuchun on the coach's stage, and saw that he was in his twenties, eight feet tall, burly, and full of bravery.

Shen Ning praised him and encouraged him to keep up his efforts.

The excited Chang Yuchun nodded again and again, encouraged.

If he performs well in this confrontation and becomes famous in one fight, then Shen Ning can quickly promote him, so that he can convince other soldiers.

With such a powerful general, how could Shen Ning let him be buried?

Next, the confrontation continues.
