(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly pass support of the 'Book Friends 18672397')
The time waiting for the soldiers under his command to run back was full of anticipation and helplessness, and some disappointments, a full quarter of an hour later, only a few people appeared at the gate of the camp, staggered, fell and got up, and trotted over in embarrassment, and the physical exhaustion was very serious.
When they rushed to Wang Junlin, they reported their regiments, teams, fires, and their positions and names one by one, and everyone was exhausted, paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up for a while, and looked at Wang Junlin's eyes full of respect. Running over along the way, everyone experienced the hardships, and everyone had a clear understanding of Wang Junlin's strength, this era is more pure, in addition to Wang Junlin's murderous and poisonous name, Wang Junlin conquered them with his strength. Of course, running is only a small part of an individual's strength.
As soon as many soldiers came back, they collapsed to the ground tiredly, but when they saw Wang Junlin standing there straight, they quickly got up again, stood up with difficulty, looked at Wang Junlin, their eyes were full of fanatical respect, and they consciously lined up, gasping for breath to recover their strength, and looking at the others who kept coming back.
After waiting for half an hour, all the soldiers finally returned, and except for a dozen or so people who were slightly injured in a fall, not a single one fell. Such a result was better than Wang King's Landing expected.
"Now go to the training ground for archers, and each of you draws the bow a hundred times, and then slashes the sword a thousand times, assassinates the iron spear a thousand times, and wields the shield a thousand times. Those who complete it within an hour rest and eat, and those who fail to complete it only have gruel at noon. There is no dry rice to eat. The first five hundred people to finish had meat to eat. Wang Junlin gave a new training order and took the lead in starting the training.
An hour later, near noon, under the special instructions of Wang Junlin, the meal prepared in advance was put outside, and everyone ate outside. As he said before the training, the first 500 soldiers each had a piece of mutton, and their faces were full of excitement, which was not only meat to eat, but also a sense of accomplishment in completing the hard training and completing the training earlier than most people.
Another 2,600 people were also in a good mood, eating dry rice. The remaining more than 900 people, except for a bowl of gruel, had nothing to do, their faces were ugly, they didn't have dry rice and meat to eat, and they also endured the ridicule of their peers, especially four of them because nearly half of them did not complete the training task on time, causing the whole team to drink porridge, and these people who were involved in their comrades-in-arms felt ashamed to death.
After eating at noon, the army rested for half an hour, and Wang Junlin ordered the training to begin. This is a 500-meter obstacle course, which was built by Wang Junlin in combination with the 500-meter special training obstacle course used by the special forces training of later generations, and added the characteristics of warfare in this era, and studied it for more than a month.
This kind of training was called devil training in the army in later generations, and after Wang Junlin personally demonstrated it, let everyone try it out first, and then ordered everyone to run the whole course twice, the distance was only one thousand meters, but because there was also a time limit, everyone had to run as hard as they could. So, after the whole process, everyone turned into a puddle of mud, panting like bellows, and it felt like their lungs were about to explode.
"As in the morning, now go to the bow horse training ground, and each man will draw his bow a hundred times, and then slash his sword a thousand times, assassinate an iron spear a thousand times, and swing his shield a thousand times. Within an hour, those who finish rest and have dinner, and those who can't finish it are still only gruel. There is no dry rice to eat. The first 500 people still have meat to eat. In addition, from tomorrow, I will train according to today's procedure, and I will no longer gather after running and running obstacles in the morning and afternoon training, and those who run back first will directly carry out the later training, and the overall time ranking will be carried out. ”
……
……
Time flies, and the time has come to the spring of the fourth year of Renshou, and Wang Junlin has been serving as the chief general in Gaotai City at the border for more than half a year.
After the defeat of the Western Turks last year, the tribes suffered heavy losses, and the prestige of the Luo Khan was greatly reduced, and the king of Bodo and the vultures took the opportunity to secretly conspire, contact and win over the tribes, and finally launched a mutiny at the beginning of the year, killing the Luo Khan, and the vultures became the new Khan of the Western Turks, calling himself the Khan of Tongyehu, and the king of Bodo became the national teacher of the Western Turks.
Under the leadership of King Bodo, Tongyehu Khan advocated peace with the Great Sui, sent an envoy to ask the Great Sui to be canonized, and at the same time asked the Great Sui to marry the Great Sui princess as Kedun (the title of the Turkic queen).
Prior to this, the Great Sui had become a princess with Yicheng and Dong. The Turks made peace with the Turks, stabilized the northern Xinjiang for nearly ten years, and now can make peace with the Western Turks again, Emperor Wen of Sui gladly accepted it, and the imperial court has begun to prepare for this matter for many days, and Wang Junlin heard that the mission sent to the Western Turks will come to Gaotai City in these two days.
……
In this half a year, Wang Junlin did his job well, guarded the border of the station, trained the elite soldiers with his unique and innovative methods, and gradually completely controlled the 5,000 men and horses under his command.
In addition, in the past six months, Wang Junlin has personally built a knife and a pair of plate armor for himself. The material used in this knife was made of fine iron that Wang Junlin bought for five hundred taels of silver, of course, the knife he created was different from the war knife of this era, such as an extra blood groove on it.
Moreover, Wang Junlin's knife and this plate armor can be regarded as steel knives and steel plate armor, from preparing materials to researching and trying to build them again and again, he spent a full three months.
He first had coal fetched, and then he burned it to coke.
In fact, the process method of burning coke is the same as that of burning charcoal, first piling up the coal and stone in a semi-closed furnace, and then lighting it with firewood, so that the coal burns slowly in the environment of lack of oxygen, so that all the flue gas and impurities in the coal and stone fly away from the chimney, and when the chimney no longer emits smoke, water is poured into it...... Finally, the coke is obtained.
But it is such a primitive method, and Wang Junlin's research and exploration took half a month to achieve results. Of course, this is also the way he knows the general situation, and if anyone in this era doesn't know the direction, no matter how much time it takes, he can't figure it out.
In fact, this method of King's Landing is the most stupid method, because more than half of the coal and stone burned in this way will be burned to ashes, and only one-third of the coal will be turned into coke.
With coke, and then there is frying steel, for this reason, Wang Junlin spent half a month to find craftsmen to get a pull-out blower, because coke is not easy to ignite, without a blower, it is difficult to maintain continuous combustion.
And every time Wang Junlin was smelting iron, he tired the two strongest guards in the palace and lay down. Because it requires the two of them to constantly pull the bellows of the blower.
Of course, this process is not so simple, and later studies have long known that the reason why iron is iron, not steel, is that the biggest difference between the two is the amount of carbon element.
For this reason, Wang Junlin thought about it, and only then did he think of a mineral that could burn the carbon in the molten iron, and sent the guards to find this ore, and let the guards smash it into powder, adding this mineral powder to the molten iron again and again, stirring the test. After countless failures, the carbon in the molten iron was finally burned out, and finally the most basic steel was obtained directly by burning the iron ore.
With 100 steels, it was relatively easy to build weapons later, but it also took Wang Junlin a month to create a thick-backed combat knife with a blood groove and a steel plate armor.
There is no way, in this era when it is easy to die, and it is the easiest profession to die, he can only find a way to improve his strength, but he has missed the age of building a foundation, and it is too difficult to improve the force, so he can only start from external forces.
In addition, in the past six months, Wang Junlin led his subordinates to fight more than a dozen battles with the Western Turks, but every time he reported his military exploits, he gave the credit to his subordinates, so he was still the captain of Zhengwupin Guoyi.

……
The breeze is blowing, it is the spring season of March, the warm sun is sprinkled on the endless grassland, the sky is as clear as a wash, blue as a sapphire without impurities, the eyes are the new delicate grass color that is blown green by the spring breeze, the unknown delicate yellow flowers stretch out from the grass, the wind blows, they nod slightly, and the breeze with a slight coolness will send the fragrant grass fragrance together, which is refreshing.
A prairie falcon hovered and flew under the blue sky, and its sharp eyes watched a convoy escorted by five hundred Sui cavalry to Gaotai City in the barren Hexi Corridor.
The border army lives in a bitter cold, and the food is even more simple and pitiful, not to mention fruits and vegetables, sometimes you can't see them a few times a year, so Wang Junlin once a month in the name of patrolling the border, leading the cavalry to hunt to improve the food, by the way, it can be regarded as practicing cavalry archery and horses.
Today, Wang Junlin was hunting with 2,000 cavalry, and a personal soldier came from Gaotai City, bowed to Wang Junlin, and said: "General, the chief fish manager and the imperial court have arrived in Gaotai City, and the chief administrator orders you to go back immediately." ”
Compared with last year, Wang Junlin has gradually become familiar with the world, and his own living habits, words and deeds are gradually no different from this world.
Wang Junlin was originally 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and the muscles all over his body were neither ostentatious but full of strength, but after more than half a year of fighting alone, his personality became more and more calm, and his thinking about things became more and more mature.
After listening to the report of the soldiers, Wang Junlin nodded, smiled slightly, as early as the day before yesterday, Yujuluo sent someone to send him a secret letter, saying that the imperial court sent the Turkic envoy Changsun Sheng to the Western Turks, but he didn't expect Yujuluo to personally send Changsun Sheng over.
