When you enter the barracks, you are not allowed to go out casually, and if you want to go out, you must ask King Liu Yan for leave.

Whether it is allowed or not, it is up to King Liu Yan to have the final say.

In the past few days, King Liu Yan has only approved Lu Xiaoxian to go out, and he has approved it twice. As for others taking time off, don't even think about it.

Since ancient times, it has been "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness", Lu Xiaoxian's move to enjoy the privilege of going out made many people very uncomfortable, but no one dared to go to Liu Yanwang for theory.

When he came back from going out, of course Lu Xiaoxian would not forget Zhao Liang and the others, and helped them bring them big bags of food.

Every now and then, they realize that the food that used to be unsightly has now become an excellent delicacy.

Compared with lifting stone locks, formation training is another kind of torment.

The so-called "formation" drills, that is, the exercises and training of battle formations, advance and retreat drums and flags, and the use of terrain and features, such as "singing gold to collect troops" and "making a full breath of energy", are the formations formed by drills.

The two armies fought, and after they were pulled to the battlefield, they were lined up. Or a phalanx, or a circle, or a cone, or a goose-shaped array. With an army of tens of thousands of people, it is common for the entire formation process to take one or two hours.

It was not easy to set up the formation, but it was not possible to start fighting immediately, and the main generals of both sides had to look for the flaws of the opponent. If you really can't find a flaw, you have to send an elite army to repeatedly attack one wing of the enemy formation, trying to tear through the enemy's defenses, and then launch a full-scale attack.

This process often lasts from half a day to a day, and each soldier has to exert a great deal of physical strength and energy.

Zhao Liang and the others were holding more than a dozen pounds of weapons, wearing heavy helmets, heavy and impermeable armor, and clinging to a dead shield. Everyone was sweating like pulp, their bodies were weak, their feet were numb, and their eyes were dizzy.

Everyone must be highly mentally focused and listen to any orders that King Liu Yan may give at any time.

On weekdays, the training is a little worse, and the formation is scattered without the enemy fighting on the battlefield. Thirty percent of those who can exert their peacetime combat power in battle are considered great, and the most terrible thing is that once they are defeated. I don't even have the strength to escape.

Half an hour later, someone was already crumbling.

An hour later, Zhao Liang was the first to fall gloriously......

Then the second, the third...... Tenth ......

When the sun was slanting to the west, the people on the school field had already fallen to the ground.

Liu Yanwang's face finally showed a rare smile after a whole day, which marked the official end of today's training.

……

"If you practice archery well, you won't suffer losses on the battlefield...... "Liu Yanwang's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Archery is the basic skill of soldiers, and the Great Zhou military camp has always attached great importance to archery training.

For a soldier of a horse nation like the Khitan, archery is nothing, but Zhao Liang and others are different, they have never practiced properly.

Lu Xiaoxian has never practiced archery, so he practiced very seriously.

In normal times, the soldiers are holding their bows and aiming at the empty target a hundred paces away.

Today, they can finally shoot arrows in earnest.

"Whoosh ......"

Arrows were shot in the school yard for several hours.

When it was Lu Xiaoxian's turn, he shot out without thinking about it.

Looking at Liu Yanwang's bright smile, Lu Xiaoxian knew that he should shoot well!

The next few sets of Lu Xiaoxian shot badly, and what followed, is

Liu Yanwang's face changed like the weather: the smile disappeared, and his face was gloomy.

He viciously issued an ultimatum: if he can't shoot well, "the big stone will wait".

Although everyone didn't know what he meant, they could hear from the tone that it was definitely not a good thing.

Liu Yanwang's strong coercion not only did not make the soldiers' grades improve in the slightest, but became worse and worse......

King Liu Yan was completely enraged, and the storm was coming!

"Get out of the way if you don't hit the target!" King Liu Yan roared angrily.

More than a dozen sergeants honestly stood up, their faces innocent, and they were extremely reluctant to be exposed in public!

Of course, Lu Xiaoxian did not appear among these people, but Zhao Liang and Zhong Xuan were not so lucky.

There were many large rocks around the school grounds, and as punishment, Liu Yan ordered them to carry the stones around the school field three times.

As the so-called "military orders fall like a mountain", under the order of King Liu Yan, these sergeants had no choice but to submit, and staggered on the thorny shooting range with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After three laps, each of their hands was cut by the edges and corners of the stone, and King Liu Yan did not have the slightest mercy, and immediately announced: They are not allowed to eat today!

……

In many trainings in the military camp, Lu Xiaoxian was far stronger than the Khitans, but he had to bow down to the riding skills.

The Khitan is a typical people on horseback, who can ride sheep, shoot birds and mice with bows, and shoot foxes when they are young. The Khitan people, regardless of gender, have developed a set of immediate activity skills since childhood. It can even move on the horse for two days and nights, taking advantage of the opportunity for the horse to graze, and sit and sleep on the horse's back.

A good knight, who does not step on the stirrup, leaps and rides; Dismount without stepping on the horse, - leap down. Especially when "crossing the moat, climbing the hills, taking risks, overwhelming the great Ze, galloping the enemy, and messing with the public", he can still sit firmly on the horse, and he can be regarded as a good knight.

The Khitan cavalry could ride steadily on a horse galloping on a bumpy road, shoot arrows from front and back, shoot arrows left and right, and swing their weapons to strike the opponent steadily and accurately. For the enemy's swift slashing stabs, it can also safely dodge or shift the dial.

When he saw this scene, Lu Xiaoxian had a shadow in his heart: Can the Great Zhou army really deal with these fierce Khitan cavalry?

……

Of course, Li Yanhuo, who was training in the barracks, would not know that his unlimited scenery in the falconry competition brought unexpected disasters to the Khitan people.

The invincible Yan Ke, after announcing Zhao Wenhui's order in front of the officials of Songmo, walked away without looking back.

Looking at Yan Ke's back, Li Qianzhong's face was gloomy and dripping.

The imperial court agreed to the arrival of the holy decree for disaster relief, which was originally a good thing, but Li Quanzhong couldn't be happy.

It's so hateful, Zhao Wenhui actually asked the Khitan people to pay tribute to fifty Haidongqing, isn't this a clear blackmail?

Sun Wanrong spat fiercely and said, "Leader, don't pay attention to him, don't give a single one, see what they can do!" ”

Li Qianzhong's face darkened, gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to them!" Let Daman hurry up and prepare, and he must catch fifty Haidongqing within ten days. ”

Although the holy decree of the imperial court has arrived, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Zhao Wenhui has the final say on when and how to provide disaster relief. In order for the Khitan to get relief as soon as possible, Li Quanzhong weighed it again and again, and could only promise to send fifty Haidongqing to Zhao Wenhui within ten days.

Sun Wanrong said unwillingly: "What should I do with Gongzi Lu?" I am

Wouldn't it make people laugh to death if they agreed in front of so many people? ”

Li Qianzhong sighed: "Lu Gongzi's twenty Haidongqing must be given!" But you can only put it first! Mr. Lu should be able to understand our suffering! ”

Sun Wanrong stomped his feet and left in hatred.

I don't know why, for several days in a row, the pine desert was full of strong winds, and the sky was pressed with a large thick cloud. The wind is like a ferocious beast, biting and suffocating all living things.

The weather was unusually bad and it wasn't the best time to hunt for falcons. But time waits for no one, Daman can only brave the wind and lead Fan Ziming and the Khitan falconers to the bottom of Eagle Ridge.

In the past, the Hai Dongqing perched on the top of the Eagle Ridge Cliff was hard to find, and all of them were cowered in the huge gap in the stone wall at the top of the cliff.

Seeing that Da Man's brows were tightly locked, the falconers of the Khitan tribe did not wait for him to give an order, and immediately picked up the eagle net and rope and struggled to climb to the cliff.

Even on a clear day, Eagle Ridge is difficult for apes to cross, let alone when the wind is strong.

The falconer was halfway up and then slipped down one by one, either dead or injured.

The other falconers silently picked up tools from them, ready to climb again.

Daman hurriedly stepped forward to restrain them, personally selected a few young and strong falconers, and climbed the cliff first.

He carefully surveyed the terrain, carefully climbing upwards along a rift that slanted upwards.

It didn't take long for him to get close to the eagle's nest, but at this time, a young falconer not far from him accidentally stepped into the air, and a weathered boulder rolled down the cliff with a "bang".

The eagle's nest on the top of the hill exploded at once, and several adult she-eagles swooped out angrily, raised their iron wings, and swept towards them fiercely.

Daman hurriedly ordered the falconers, who had already climbed the rock head, to quickly stick to the rock wall and not move.

Haidongqing in the eagle's nest heard the wind, poured out of the nest, and all flew high into the air, swooping down like arrows.

The falconer was pecked by Hai Dongqing and bruised all over his body, like a kite with a broken string, falling down from the cliff, and even Daman was injured.

In desperation, they had to retreat from Eagle Ridge and wait for the weather to be good.

On the fourth day, the weather finally cleared.

Daman asked the falconer to take out the eagle nets and set them up on the flat ground at the foot of Eagle Ridge.

Immediately afterwards, they hurried to catch hares and pheasants from the woods, and tied them with strings under the nets.

This kind of falcon net is unique to the Khitan people, it is woven with the silk of the silkworm in the oak forest, the net is as thin as a hair, even the eagle eye with sharp eyes is difficult to find, and it is also very sticky, as long as it is the prey of the net, it is difficult to fly with wings.

After arranging all this, Daman quietly hid in the woods with the falconer.

After a while, there was movement on Eagle Ridge.

Because of the strong wind in the past few days, Hai Dongqing has long been hungry. When the weather cleared, they flew out of the eagle's nest.

Hai Dongqing found that on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, there were hares and pheasants fluttering, and they scrambled to pounce down, one by one.

At the end of the day, Daman caught more than a dozen Haidongqing.

If this continues, it will be possible to catch 50 Haidongqing in four or five days at most.

Taman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
