Chapter 519: An Eccentric Exam
When Li De began to enjoy his marriage leave comfortably, another group of people who were still working hard for the future ushered in the second day of the exam after finishing the first day of the exam.
No matter how well you did on the first day, whether you were excited, depressed, happy, or sad, after a good night's sleep, you have to regain your energy and start again.
Today's test is a personal military quality.
With the first day of the exam experience, no matter who it is, I don't dare to take chances, I feel that everything is under control, this time the exam is completely different from the previous martial arts exams in Datang, just three days in a row, so that everyone has a strong sense of powerlessness.
In preparation for the first day of the writing exam, almost all of them did useless work, reciting countless art of war, and in the end, they found that there were very few of them that could be used.
The first day has already been like this, so no one knows what tricks will be played in today's personal military quality test.
Sure enough, when everyone finished assembling and the examiner You Yong announced the content of the first exam, most of the lifters blew up.
The first event is a 10,000-meter run with a full load.
What is this concept? A soldier who wears a full suit of armor and carries all the equipment is about 40 to 50 pounds in his body, but for this exam, they have to bring a bundled quilt and ten days of military rations.
It was only at this time that the eyes of the martial artists fell on the big school field where they conducted the exam yesterday, and when their eyes touched it, it was even more devastating, and the smooth school field yesterday has changed greatly today. The white line of the runway is dotted with all kinds of obstacles, including shallow ponds, muddy floors, wooden walls, single-plank bridges, and even slings.
Among the martial artists, only the guys from Li Ze's descendants seemed very indifferent, because this was nothing to them, and in ordinary military training, it was commonplace.
No matter what the martial arts are thinking in their hearts, the exam will not be determined by their minds, as soon as the content of the exam is announced, it is a random lot, each martial arts will draw a number, and then a group of fifty people, in the order of numbers, start the exam.
This is a sport that tests the limits of the human body. Definitely a devil's journey for people who don't have special training. And for these martial artists, it is obviously not enough to just finish, they also need to achieve a good ranking as much as possible.
There is no doubt that in such an examination, the martial arts from the army occupy the absolute upper hand, not to mention that Li Ze's descendants often carry out this kind of long-distance armed cross-country, even other troops, there is no shortage of such marches, and ordinary martial arts have experienced too little for this kind of test of endurance, or their explosive power is very strong, but in this competition of endurance and tenacity, they fall into the absolute inferiority.
And what made them even more desperate was that the next exam was greatly dragged down because they consumed a lot of physical strength in this exam.
After the first exam, everyone only got a pillar of incense to rest, and then the next exam began.
Foot shooting.
Riding and shooting.
Equestrianism.
Fistfight.
Overall, this half-day test is a test of the army's combat ability after a long-distance high-intensity march. After the pilot test, these martial artists will be sent to the front line to serve as grass-roots officers, and their high-level officers are undoubtedly the leaders who charge ahead, and the bravery of a grass-roots officer can greatly drive the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his jurisdiction.
If you run 10,000 meters and then lie down and can't fight, then how can you be such an officer?
On the contrary, it is the generals at the top who do not have high requirements for these. This is also the reason why Confucian generals often appear in history, but there will never be Confucian soldiers, and the probability of Confucian soldiers dying on the battlefield is basically 100%.
The whole half-day exam made the local martial artists who were originally arrogant and looked down on the army's martial arts one by one, because the thing they were most proud of was that after a 10,000-meter obstacle course today, the advantage was greatly weakened, and the usual kung fu can play three or four percent, even if the performance is good. On the other hand, the martial arts that came from those armies played at least seventy or eighty percent of their original abilities.
After today's project, all the candidates were given a half-day break.
Tomorrow, it will be the last one.
Group confrontation.
At this time, Li Ze was still in the Li family's manor, and he had just finished lunch with his father, and the family was sitting in the hall gossiping. The bride, Xiao Cicada, is using her craft to make kung fu tea for everyone.
Li Dang hurriedly walked in from outside and roughly described the situation of today's martial arts examination to Li Ze.
"Lang Jun, you're really bad enough." Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled: "Where did you come up with martial arts, where did you practice these?" You're too biased in this question. β
Li Ze snorted coldly: "This is not partiality. The army is not like a locality, and grassroots officers are even more different from senior officers, and among grassroots troops, whether officers can serve the public depends on whether you can overpower everyone. If your military skills are worse than those of ordinary soldiers, can you still lead troops into battle? Can the soldier convince you? β
Li Anguo, who was sitting at the top, is now looking better, Jin Yuan, who once concluded that he would not live for more than a year, was mercilessly slapped in the face, looking at Li Anguo like this, I am afraid that there are still many years to live.
At this time, when he heard Li Ze's words, he also smiled and said: "Among the grassroots army, there is only one truth, whoever has a bigger fist will also speak loudly. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the people, and it is better to say that if your soldiers do not convince you during the war, it will be in serious trouble. However, after taking the exam in this way, the future exams, local martial arts, will naturally be strengthened in this regard, and it doesn't matter if it is biased. β
Li Ze nodded and said: "What Xue Ping said, if you want to decorate the faΓ§ade, I will also take it, but this can only be placed on the civil official." Those guys who are excellent in some aspects but don't have the ability to do practical things, it's amazing that I spend money to raise them to show that we use talents in an eclectic way, but in terms of the army, there is only one consideration, and that is combat effectiveness. β
"Then Lang Jun, what will you take in next year's exam?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Tomorrow's exam items have been announced, and the group will face off." Li Ze said with a smile: "Now I'm afraid that the barracks are already in chaos." The confrontation exercise in a group of 60 people will not only test the leadership ability of these movers, but also test whether they can be united, whether they can have the spirit of sacrifice, and whether they can have a strong sense of organizational discipline. You must know that in such a confrontation, there must be pawns, there must be cannon fodder, and if they can't organize an effective team, tomorrow's confrontation will be beaten to pieces. β
In the Qianniuwei military camp, at this moment, it is indeed as Li Ze said, there is a mess. But this kind of chaos only belongs to those local martial arts, and the martial artists from the army don't care at all.
On the first day, everyone can only rely on their own abilities in the military strategy test, but after this half-day test, these military martial artists have understood one thing, these local martial artists, typical foreign powerhouses and middle cadres, if they join forces, I am afraid that they will lose very badly in tomorrow's confrontation. Therefore, the one hundred and twenty martial artists from the Twelve Guards naturally gathered in one place, and soon formed two groups.
Their grouping was in good order. First of all, look at their respective positions in the army, and the higher positions will automatically rank first. Then it is to count their own merits, the big credit is in the front, and finally the scars on the body are taken off and counted, the ones with more scars are in the front, and those with fewer scars are naturally going to be the pawns of the horse and work hard at the front.
So when the local martial artists were still in chaos, they had already divided the team, selected the squad leader, the captain, and the gang leader, and then ate and drank enough to sleep.
And the local martial arts also understand a truth, this morning's exam, they lost very badly, the army's martial arts are ahead by a large margin, they want to turn over, in tomorrow's confrontation, they need to defeat the opponent in an all-round way.
But there is a problem that these local martial arts, above their respective lands, are all characters calling for wind and rain, and tomorrow's confrontation, it is obvious that there needs to be leaders, commanders and soldiers, so who is the leader and who is the soldier, this is a big problem, can be the leader, the commander, after winning, will naturally get more points.
The controversy continued into the night, during which there was no shortage of fists to solve the problem, and in the end, nearly 360 local martial artists finally reluctantly formed the team. Of course, at the same time, they also made an important decision, that is, when they face off tomorrow, the six teams will work together to kill the two army groups first, and then fight each other.
Because when the exam rules were announced today, it didn't say that they had to go against each other.
So tomorrow's confrontation will be a big chaos.
The night was uneventful.
When the war drums in the barracks sounded again, the martial artists who gathered at the school found that in today's last exam, the high platform was actually full of high-ranking officials, and even the dignified ruling prime minister also arrived, and beside the prime minister, a heroic female general sat down, no need to ask, it must be Li Xiang's wife, Liu Ruyan, the general of Qianniuwei.
There are eight groups in total, each with a different headscarf to distinguish their affiliation.
When the chief examiner, You Yong, announced that the confrontation had officially begun in a quarter of an hour, the six local martial arts teams immediately gathered together, and those experienced military martial artists immediately understood each other's intentions as soon as they saw each other's formations, and they immediately gathered together without greeting them.
"Luo Hongxin, you are the deputy lieutenant of Rong, and my department is under your command." The captain of one group shouted to the other team.
Looking at the two groups with a huge disparity in numbers on the field, Li Ze smiled and said, "It's a little interesting." β
