One, two, one"

Loud slogans, neat voices, and a group of soldiers walking in front of them, majestic and heroic.

After several days and months of training, they are no longer immature as before, and their faces are more calm and steady.

The sun is high in the sky, the scorching sun is splashing the earth, in this vast training ground, Lin Maolin braved the scorching sun to come to Changwei, but Changwei, who was full of sweat, was still pointing, training this group of soldiers, his movements and expressions were extremely exaggerated, as if if he didn't do it, the soldiers would not have the passion for training.

Lin Maolin said: "The chief instructor is fortunate. They should be training almost by now. ”

Chang Wei was startled, turned his head to look at Lin Maolin, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, now they have been trained in basic physical fitness and combat. ”

Lin Maolin blocked the sun with his hand, and asked: "That's okay, I'm not here for anything else, I just want to test their strength, and discuss with them the situation we are in now, can the chief instructor be accommodating."

Chang Wei scratched his head and hesitated: "Accommodating and natural, it's just that how long does General Lin take, you know, my task is heavy, and the amount of training is also large, I heard that there is a so-called army drill when the general is selected, the time can be said to be very urgent, and I ask General Lin to understand." ”

Lin Maolin thought for a while and said: "In this way, the chief instructor will give me two hours, and I will guide them during their training, and then hold a summary meeting." ”

Changwei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Lin Maolin said: "No, just watch from the sidelines." ”

Changwei's very serious face gives people the impression of strict military discipline and selflessness. In addition, when he followed Lin Maolin, he still walked in a positive manner, and he did not relax at all, as if he was a model for the army, he asked the soldiers like this, and he also asked others like this.

"Brothers, it just so happens that I like bows and arrows when I practice archery, so let's try it out."

Everyone looked at Lin Maolin, and when they saw Lin Maolin coming, some of the men and horses immediately ran over, and they were noisy as if they hadn't seen General Lin for a long time.

Lin Maolin greeted them, and when the group of soldiers came to General Lin, everyone showed envy and admiration.

However, on the other side, the soldiers, who were mainly a ten-year-old man, cast disgusted glances, and even a few of them said to the little boy: "Song Zongwang, you see, how powerful and domineering this General Lin is, our battle here can't be compared with others at all." ”

Another soldier chimed in: "That's it, that's it, General Lin is the big hero, the big hero from Chang'an, Song Gongzi, should we go over and have a look?"

Song Zongwang shook off the ponytail behind him, walked towards General Lin confidently, pushed away a few soldiers who were blocking in front of Lin Maolin, and said to Lin Maolin: "General Lin, I heard that your achievements are high, but I have only heard but not witnessed, so I want to come over specially to see General Lin's miraculous skills." ”

Lin Maolin was just about to speak, but Instructor Changwei stood in front of General Lin and accused him: "Okay, you Song Zongwang, why are you bad, this is our leader, quickly apologize to the leader." ”

Song Zongwang saw that it was General Changwei, so he lowered his head, and after saying a few inconsequential words helplessly, Lin Maolin interrupted him and said: "It's okay, this little brother said so, then I will show my hands, so that the brothers can feast their eyes."

Song Zongwang saw that the plan had succeeded, so he chuckled coldly and muttered in a low voice: "Very good, look at how I stand out in front of my brothers." ”

When all the brothers heard that General Lin was going to show it, they were even more interested, and one soldier even cheered, in order to show his excitement, he behaved extremely exaggeratedly, and even jumped and shouted: "The training is too boring, the general shows his style." Although the weather was bad, the enthusiasm was undiminished. ”

The other soldier was also very much looking forward to it, but when Lin Maolin looked at him, he was very familiar, this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, by the way, wasn't he Song Express And the jade pendant on his body was still wearing around his neck, shining, very eye-catching.

"Song Express, come here, I have something to look for you."

When the courier heard that it was General Lin looking for him, he ran to Lin Maolin excitedly, and still pushed away several people who were blocking the front, if it weren't for the fact that they looked back and loosened the crowding, even if Song Express forcibly squeezed through, it might not be so smooth.

"Is there anything wrong with General Lin?"

Lin Maolin cleared his throat and said: "You go and inform Uncle Zhou, and then spread the news of the meeting throughout the entire Imperial Uncle's Mansion, just say that on the training ground, there will be a conference in an hour, please come over to visit and exchange if you have time, and learn from each other." ”

When Song Express heard this, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed: "Received, General Lin, I promise to complete the task." ”

After speaking, Song Express retreated, trotted, first came to Uncle Zhou's room, and shouted while running, "There will be an exchange meeting after 11 o'clock on the training ground, and I will go to participate if I have time." ”

Yang Qin was practicing the war knife in the courtyard at this time, and it seemed that he was already very familiar with it, and when he heard him shouting like this, he stopped him and said, "What are you talking about the exchange conference?"

Song Express left after saying a few quick words, leaving Yang Qin, who had stayed aside and thought for a while, and slowly walked to the training ground.

Lin Maolin said to the group of soldiers under his command: "The sun is very fierce today, let's make a long story short, you pick up the bow and arrow in your hands one by one, as long as you shoot the spear in front of you, you will be rewarded, and there will be a commendation for the exchange meeting for a while."

When Song Zongwang heard this, he was very excited, how could he let go of such a good opportunity, so he stood up, picked up his bow and arrow, and was eager to try.

Suddenly a soldier said

said: "General Lin, do you need me to insert the spear?" ”

Lin Maolin said: "No. ”

Then Lin Maolin took off the spear tied to his back, only to see, a gunshot sounded, the spear appeared in Lin Maolin's hand, with Lin Maolin a stride, bent his legs and bent over, a powerful and powerful flick, the spear flew straight away, landed in a vacant land in the distance, a ninety degree angle inserted in a lawn in the distance, and the spear was a little past a wall, there was nothing behind the wall, like a desolate small land that no one cared about.

Lin Maolin said: "Changwei, you are the referee, everyone, come one by one, one by one to register the name, that person has three chances to shoot arrows, and if you shoot, you will be rewarded, and if you don't shoot, you will be punished." ”

The trial officially began, at this moment, Yang Qin stood in the distance, looking here, there was a little more reverie in his heart, his heart was full of blood, and he thought, it turned out to be a bow and arrow, which he was not familiar with, but it was still okay to have a fun in the past, with the mentality of learning, he crossed the fence and came to Lin Maolin's side, and the game officially began.

The soldiers stood up one by one, and everyone was gearing up, trying to make a name for themselves through this small competition.

Lin Maolin stretched out his right hand and said, "Ready, one, two, three, start." ”

A soldier pulled the bow and arrow hard, and with a "whoosh", the bow and arrow flew away, but the bow and arrow hit the lawn on the side, and it was a thousand miles away from the spear.

"Whoosh", another arrow, with infinite hope, shot this arrow, originally confident, but the bow and arrow is not very face-saving, not as spiritual as expected, the moment the bow and arrow was shot, I saw a bow and arrow, flying into the air, impartially shot to the tree, through the leaves, fell into the ground.

Seeing that the two arrows were empty, the soldier also seemed anxious, the bow and arrow in his hand were tightly pinched, and a little cold sweat dripped down.

When the third bow and arrow came galloping, it flew towards the spear, and it was originally very promising to shoot the spear, but just when everyone was full of hope, the flying bow and arrow seemed to be out of orbit and shot into the air, Lin Maolin said: "I'm sorry, brother, I forgot to tell you, the spear belt is surrounded by different energy fields, only the bow and arrow with extraordinary perseverance can shoot the spear, and the one who shoots the spear is by no means an ordinary bow and arrow." ”

Everyone listened confused. Lin Maolin explained again: "Draw the bow and shoot arrows, not only to the hand, but also to the heart, only in this way, can be regarded as a qualified archer, this is your most precious thing, I came here to tell you that the bow and arrow also have feelings, as long as you treat him with true feelings, he will be able to give you unimaginable power." ”

At this time, many people entered a state of ignorance, they seemed to know what General Lin said, but the ending was not very ideal, a company of more than a dozen soldiers, no one shot the spear.

And at this time, the cold-blooded chasing wind who received the news flew to the top of the wall, and when he leaned down, he looked at it and became interested.

"This Lin Maolin is very interesting."

Standing next to the cold-blooded chasing wind is an archer, and this archer has an inexplicable temperament, and the aura that exudes from his body is not what ordinary people should have, this aura is several points stronger than ordinary people, but it can't be said where it is stronger.

Lin Maolin looked at everyone, and none of them were interested.

"Next, next, next"

The ideals of each soldier are not very ideal, Song Zongwang stood up and said, "I'll come." ”

Everyone looked at him, and even the few friends around him, their eyes were hot and hopeful, as if they trusted the man in front of them very much, and they saw him boasting and walking with a big stride. Holding an arrow and crossbow in his left hand and a bow and arrow in his right hand, his posturing skills are not bad at all.

I saw him come to the arena, write his name, draw the bow and shoot the arrow, when the first arrow flew towards the spear, just at this moment, the bow and arrow were crooked, and it was unbelievable that the bow and arrow almost touched the spear, and the deviation was not very large.

Lin Maolin was also interested in people, and quietly paid attention to him, Song Zongwang saw that the blow was hit, and he was very unconvinced, but after the second attack, the effect was far less fierce than the first attack, and the difference in this blow was big, what made Lin Maolin puzzled was that others were progressing, why was this person regressing When the third attack was not issued, Lin Maolin told you to slow down, and then came to Song Zongwang's side, checked his body with his hands, and then said: " Your constitution is very strange, and after the conference, come to me yourself. ”

Song Zongwang was stunned for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his calm.

The last shot was the closest to success, but to everyone's disappointment, this blow still didn't succeed. Just as the trial was coming to an end, Leng Yue Chasing Wind appeared in front of Lin Maolin with another man.

Leng Yue chased the wind and said, "General Lin, can you give me a chance?"

Lin Maolin saw that it was cold-blooded chasing the wind, so he greeted him and said solemnly: "It turned out to be General Leng, of course it is okay, but if it is General Leng, it needs to be more difficult." ”

Leng Yue Chasing the Wind said helplessly: "This is natural. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, General Leng was crazy to increase the difficulty, this difficulty was not too big Everyone was curious, and looked at Leng Yue Chasing the Wind with disbelief, just like looking at a monster.

Lin Maolin said to Yang Qin: "Yang Qin, there is cardboard here"

Yang Qin said: "Yes"

Lin Maolin said: "You go and get a piece that is three feet long and three inches wide, of course, it is also possible to be larger than three feet and three inches." ”

Yang Qin responded and trotted out.

Soon.

When Yang Qin came back, the two soldiers around him came carrying cardboard while walking.

Lin Maolin picked up the cardboard and chased it horizontally with a spear and cold-blooded

In front of the wind, a huge barrier blocked everyone's view.

Lin Maolin asked the cold-blooded chasing wind: "Is this difficulty possible?"

Standing ten minutes before 11 o'clock, Uncle Zhou Huang also came to the training ground.

Everyone's eyes focused on the body of the cold-blooded chasing wind, at this moment, the cold-blooded chasing wind held a bow in his left hand, but he held three bows and arrows in his right hand, the bow and arrow were placed on the bow and crossbow, and it was even more neat, Leng Yue Chasing the wind's blazing eyes were like a pair of eagle eyes, and the breath on his body was faint and dim, strong and weak.

Suddenly, three bows and arrows came out of their hands, and in the eyes of everyone, the bows and arrows passed through the cardboard and flew straight towards the spear, and with a loud "bang", the spear fell in response, and everyone applauded.

Lin Maolin said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of General Leng, and he is indeed a hero from ancient times." ”

The cold-blooded chasing wind said modestly: "Where, where, it's just a coincidence." ”

Everyone was shocked that this sentence happened to be light-hearted.

At this moment, a wild goose flew over, and the envelope was still tied at the feet of the wild goose, Lin Maolin took a bow and arrow hanging on the weapon rack, and saw that the huge bow and arrow were as tall as half a person, and all the arrows were not ordinary arrows, but thousands of pounds of arrows made of stone and iron.

The arrow crossbow supported the ground at one end, Lin Maolin grabbed one side with one hand, then bent over, and actually lifted the huge crossbow, and then shot an arrow with a bow, and a bow and arrow that pierced the sky flew towards the wild goose, and with a wail, the wild goose, sliding, like a parabola, fell down.

Lin Maolin was just about to speak, when the person next to him was like lightning in cold blood, and flew over, and after a while, the huge wild goose was carried back alive.

And the envelope tied at the feet of the wild goose is even more intact.

The competition was over, and only one person who was cold-blooded chasing the wind shot the spear, but General Lin shot down the geese flying over the mansion.

To everyone's surprise, the young man beside Leng Yue Chasing Wind was also carrying a crystal clear and bright bow behind him, and the bow was flashing with killing intent, making people feel an inexplicable sense of mystery at a glance.

The wrap-up meeting began.

Everyone tidied up their haggard faces, replaced with the glory of soldiers, and they still remembered what had just happened, after all, such magical things are not something that can be seen if they want to see it, and this rare opportunity also made them understand what it means to have mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people. The world is so big, it really doesn't seem to be so amazing who it is, and what amazing things are.

"Brothers, after the trial just now, what do you have gained What I want to tell you is, next, your task is important, the responsibility is equally important, Luoyang assessment, military exercises have also arrived, do you have the confidence, show my Chang'an style to military colleagues around the world can see, our Chang'an is the most powerful true hero and here to tell you a bad news, Taiwei colluded with the Dongying people, Chang'an is the first city to encounter the poison of the Dongying people, although our family is in Chang'an, but you have to be calm, We must go back to Chang'an, but now is not the time, when passing through the misty swamp, my soldiers caught a few soldiers who tried to escape back to Chang'an, I declare here, if such a thing happens, they will all be dealt with as deserters. Make every effort to deal with the Luoyang assessment, Chang'an has its own imperial court soldiers and horses to counterattack in the past, can you understand my painstaking efforts"

The soldier on the scene cried with tears in his eyes and said: "General Lin, if this is the case, I want to ask if our family has been poisoned by the enemy."

Lin Maolin nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The audience was boiling, and the scene fell into an uncontrollable state for a while.

Lin Maolin stood up, patted the table, and then said: "Wait a minute, although Chang'an has fallen, you have to believe in your comrades-in-arms and your country, Chang'an, we can't go back all the way north is our only destination." ”

"General Lin, our parents are still in Chang'an, how can you let us bear to go north just to protect our family and defend the country, now that the small family is gone, how can we give up our home if you let us go north, General Lin, you won't let us be that unkind and unrighteous person."

One of the soldiers stood up, his eyes flushed, and he said angrily.

Lin Maolin soothed: "Beidi is menacing, and in just three days, Wu Tancheng has fallen. More than a month, with the danger of the Tianshan Mountains of Jiaqing Pass broken, the next is the plain of the Central Plains, only half a month, after the enemy has raised his spirit, the next step is to invade the Central Plains, do you bear to watch your country being trampled by the enemy's iron hooves How can you bear it, I am also the same as you, come to Chang'an, home is also in Chang'an, and I don't want to leave Chang'an, but we have come to Luoyang, all the way to the north, there is no way back. ”

At this time, there was silence in the audience, and everyone was crying in their hearts, but they didn't say it, after all, men don't talk lightly when they have tears, and strong men don't shed tears when they cut their wrists.

Uncle Zhou Huang came up and said solemnly: "I swear as the Emperor Uncle of the Great Zhou that I will live and die with the Great Zhou, and when you go north, our counteroffensive will officially begin, but the specific matters cannot be told to you, after all, if the enemy learns the news, it will definitely be unfavorable to our army." ”

Lin Maolin applauded: "Well said, I believe Uncle Zhou Huang, Chang'an depends on you." ”

However, off the field, the sparse applause was endless, getting louder and denser.

Suddenly, Li Zhanming walked onto the stage with a heavy halberd and said: "Brothers, I, Li Zhanming, swear to the sky to defend Chang'an to the death, and not let the enemy trample on half of the land of the Central Plains again, but you also have to tell me that the Northern Expeditionary Army will end at Jiaqing Pass, do you have confidence?"

Everyone has a lot of trust in what the general said, because these vanguard troops, which one of them is not a hero who goes into battle to kill the enemy, and as long as they are there, the war will not stop fighting.

The mission and responsibility of the soldiers are quietly imprinted into the hearts of this group of soldiers who are loyal to the monarch and serve the country.
