A week later, at the recruit training ground outside the wooden fort, more than 30 soldiers and newly recruited young men who had been laid off by the regiment were still being trained here by the third squadron leader, Tuba, and the two squad leaders of Bangada and Klaus.

"Guys, you have to work hard in the next few days, your lord has ordered that the soldiers of the recruit team will be evaluated in two days, that is, to test the effectiveness of your training, and all the best recruits will be promoted to soldiers and form the third squadron; Qualified recruits will be sent to patrol teams, border posts, or caravans; Soldiers with poor performance will be removed from the army and will be transferred to the Wooden Fort as farmers and converted into Valley Watch Farmers, and in the event of an expansion of the Army, Valley Watch Farmers will be recruited first......"

"There are two main contents of the recruit assessment after two days, one is the assessment of the recruit's personal combat skills, including physical endurance, weapon use, and multi-person killing. The second is the assessment of the training of the new recruits, and the content of this battle formation assessment is mainly the new type of battle formation that we have been practicing in recent days. ”

"Alright, now Bangada and Klaus will lead you in training."

Bangada and Klaus were ordered to start training with a dozen recruits each......

After the recruits began training, Tuba turned to Yate and bowed slightly, "My lord, what do you think?" ”

Art stared at the recruits who picked up the sticks and wooden shields to train the new battle formation, and said to Tuba: "Otto and Angus have been busy training the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the new battle formation recently, and we have no time to take care of the training of the new battle team, so you guys will have to worry more. I told you before that most of the soldiers of your third squadron must be selected from the recruit team, and if you train the recruits well, your third squadron's combat strength will not be too bad in the future. That Klaus is a rare warrior after a hundred battles, you have to use him well, teach him more in everything, although you are his commander, there is no shame in this kind of humble advice......"

Tuba nodded instructively.

"By the way, I'm planning to officially form a gongnu squad recently, and the soldiers are already selecting gongnu players, and you can also choose from the recruit team."

"Yes!"

On the other side of the training ground, Odo was picking out soldiers who were slightly good at gongnu and not strong in melee as gongnu soldiers, and several squadron leaders and squad leaders standing on the side looked bad at poaching people from their own teams.

In front of the arrow stack, Jason of the original Sentinel Cavalry was taking the mercenary archer Smith, a new member of the legion, to test and select an alternative gongnu.

Seeing that a soldier had just drawn his bow and shot five arrows and began to tremble in his arms, Smith, who was a little stuttering, whispered to Jason: "Brother Jayson, this is not good, my hands are weak, I can't pull the string a few times."

This is the fourth time Jason has changed teams, from infantry to cavalry, from cavalry to infantry part-time archers, and then from infantry back to cavalry, and now he has been transferred to form a special gongnu squad, but this time Jason is really happy, because Art promoted him to the captain of the newly built gongnu squad, which is considered a promotion.

Smith was a mercenary archer who had just joined the valley, and after completing the basic training of the recruits, he was promoted directly to the rank of Legion Soldier along with Lusignan and Klaus, which was also a well-deserved favor for a mercenary who had been through battle. After being promoted to a soldier, Smith is not good at battle formation training, and his personal combat skills are also very average, but his archery skills are very good, so Art directly regarded him as an elite archer and transferred him to Jason, who was forming a gongnu team, as the vice captain, Art originally intended to let Smith be the captain and Jason was the deputy, but the mercenary Smith joined not long ago and his speech was not good, Art was not very relieved, so he was relegated to the deputy position, but Smith was very surprised, because archers in his previous mercenary corps would not be treated preferentially, Even ordinary infantrymen were paid better than him.

Jason looked at the soldier who was shooting arrows in front of him, turned his head sideways and replied to Smith helplessly: "No way, all the commanders regard the soldiers in the team as treasures, and they will not let them leave easily, they just pick out those soldiers with the worst and weakest combat strength for us to choose."

Jason is telling the truth, the soldiers who have been selected a few months ago are basically the elite backbone of each squadron and squad, how can the squad leaders and squadron leaders be easily sent to the gongnu squad? So only two or three soldiers with less combat power were sent to Jason's side for alternatives......

"If this goes on like this, no, my lord, let's choose four or four more gongnu hands, this and that are enough."

In addition to the two crossbows and two bows allocated to the border outpost and the Boulder Town Patrol Station, there are now a dozen bows and four crossbows in the arsenal of the wooden fort, and the officers and soldiers in the legion who can shoot arrows are equipped with bows and arrows individually, and Art also intends to form a full-time gongnu team of six people to provide long-range fire support for the army.

"Your Excellency has guessed this outcome, but it will not be easy to select enough soldiers to meet the requirements of the battle immediately. As an archer, you must know that bows and arrows are not heavy hammer chains, and you can't train them without three or five years of training, so I told me that the gongnu squad is mainly based on crossbows, which is less difficult to train, and the soldiers are easy to use......"

To the north of the wooden fort, on the edge of the valley and dense forest.

Legion Adjutant Angus was leading the Sentinel Cavalry on patrol duty to train the cavalry by the way, and since Lusignnan and Art's brother-in-law Felix joined the Sentinel Cavalry with two cavalry attendants, the Sentinel's combat power has instantly increased by several notches.

When there are more talents, contradictions are indispensable. Those who can join the Sentinel Cavalry are capable people, and naturally they are not casually convinced.

The first is the mercenary cavalry Lusignan, who is the second son of a knight, he was not born as a civilian, and he has participated in the holy war, he is well-informed and strong, so he is not very convinced by the young sentry captain Ron, since he joined the sentry cavalry and became the vice captain, he has always been dissatisfied with Ron, but Ron is Atte's personal guard, and he is also Arte's henchman, although he is young, he has also experienced a lot of battles and has a lot of enemy blood in his hands, so he can still reluctantly accept it.

But Lusignan's attitude towards the new young master Felix was not so kind.

Felix is not inherently unscrupulous, but he is indeed the only son of a baron, with a sense of arrogance in his personality, and he has always called for wind and rain when he was in Sapbourg, so after joining the Legion of Yat, except for his brother-in-law Yat and his friend Ron of the same age, he did not show much respect and kindness to others, and his relationship with the mercenary-born Lusignan was particularly bad.

Lusignnan thinks that he has a wealth of experience and countless battles, and often considers Felix, who is only fifteen years old, to be his elder brother, and Lusignan, as the second son of a knight, has an unspeakable rejection of Felix, who is the eldest son, so Lusignnan often uses the role of vice-captain to embarrass Felix; And Felix also held his own identity and ignored Lusignan's orders. Both of them have their own pride, and neither of them obeys the other.

Ron, the captain of the Sentinel Cavalry, is not good at handling such complicated relationships, and Angus, the regimental lieutenant who directly governs the Sentinel Cavalry, does not care about this matter, anyway, as long as it does not affect the battle, he does not care about the chickens and dogs between the soldiers, in his words to Art, only those who crawl together from a pool of blood become brothers......

On the wasteland at the edge of the dense forest, rows of thatched dummies with wooden poles were erected more than a hundred paces away, and a line was drawn thirty paces in front of the thatched figures. Angus rode on the back of a war horse, and there were five throwing spears in the sac of the back saddle of the war horse, and he took out one of the throwing spears and held it in his hand, and said to Lusignnan and Felix, who were immediately glaring at each other: "Listen, aren't you two unconvinced?" See the thatch over there? Riding a horse for seventy paces and then throwing a spear at the line, five spears per person, the one who hits the most wins, and the one who loses feeds the horse for three days to the one who wins. ”

"Lusignnan comes first!"

Hearing this, Lusignan lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse under him paced out of the ranks. Although Lusignan has been trained as a cavalry since childhood, and has been fighting on horseback for many years, but the skill of galloping horses and throwing spears is also new to contact, he sideways pulled out a spear from the back saddle bag, raised his hand over his shoulder, and kicked lightly with a spur on his heel, and the war horse under him began to slowly move forward, pacing more than 20 steps, the horse speed suddenly became faster, the spear in Lusignan's hand rose on the tip of the spear, and before the line was drawn, Lusignnan threw the spear at the speed of the horse, and the spear flew high under the power of the horse galloping and the arm strength of Lusignan, and the momentum was amazing. Then Lusignnan turned his horse's head and ran to the flanks against the lines on the ground......

But the spear did not hit, to be precise, it flew more than ten steps......

"Trespass" Felix scoffed at Lusignan's performance.

"It's your turn!" Angus said to Felix.

Felix was more serious when learning to throw spears, and he recalled the spear-throwing skills that Angus had taught him to let his horses run at a constant speed, and when he reached the line, he also threw the spear in his hand vigorously, and the spear hit the thigh of a thatched man. Seeing that the master hit, Felix's two attendants cheered loudly.

But then Lusignan, who adjusted his strength, hit twice in a row, and Felix's three spears fell into the gap between the thatched men......

In the end, both men hit only two spears in five shots.

Both of them returned with a feather, Angus glanced at the two of them, and then lifted the reins and clamped the horse's belly sharply, and the horse neighed and rushed out, and ran to more than thirty steps before the line, Angus flew out with a throwing spear, which drew an arc in the air and hit the thatched man's abdomen; The excitement was not over, after throwing the first spear, Angus leaned back, pulled another spear from the sac, and before the horse's hooves reached the mark, the second spear was about to fly out and hit again.

Angus turned his horse's head, and the horse turned sideways with its hooves raised, grazing the lines on the ground and running to the flanks......

Angus yelled at Lusignan and Felix: "Useless things, every day you know that chickens fight dogs, you two, feed the whole team for three days!" ”
