Chapter 205: Martial Arts Contest (2)
Guo Tu knew that Yuan Xi wanted to train the elite. But just training, there are casualties, how can the soldiers be willing? Besides, the gains outweigh the losses.
Guo Tu clenched his fists and said: "Lord, why don't you let the soldiers remove the wooden sticks?" ”
"Okay, let's get rid of the sticks." Yuan Xi agreed.
Hey?
Guo Tu was a little surprised that Yuan Xi actually agreed to his suggestion. He remembered that Jiao Touch had said that at that time, he and He Mao had failed to make Yuan Xi change his mind.
"These 200,000 troops, almost all of whom are veterans, no longer need to conduct actual combat drills..." Yuan Xi said to Gao Lan: "Let them throw away the wooden sticks and fight with their bare hands." ”
"No."
Gao Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The lord has an order, throw away the sticks and fight with your bare hands!" Gao Ran walked to the front and shouted.
Bang, clang...
Sticks were thrown on the ground, and the battle continued.
A quarter of an hour later.
Only one hundred and thirty people stood on the ground, and the rest lay on the ground wailing. Although no sticks were used, most of them were injured, but no one died.
"The winner goes over there to register and prepares for the afternoon ring match. The wounded returned to the camp for treatment. For this contest, Gao Ran prepared more than 100 langzhong to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
"Ouch...."
In a wail, they all withdrew from the battlefield.
Gao ran the command flag in his hand and waved it violently: "Continue to the next one..." ”
Roar, roar, roar...
Thousands of people, who had long been ready to go into battle, mixed together. This time, no weapons were used, and they were all hand-to-hand. Golan is in charge of the overall situation. And send generals to register the soldiers who won before.
"Good!"
Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "If you continue to fight like this, in the end, less than 10,000 people will pass the first wave of auditions." Mr. Gongda, these soldiers who have passed the audition can be called elite? ”
Guo Tu smiled: "That's for sure." Being able to survive the melee of 2,000 people, although there is an element of luck, most of them rely on their strength and physical strength. ”
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Whoever passed the first audition." Give them the qualification to be promoted to the rank of Honored Soldier, as an alternative to the Guards, Pioneer Battalion, and Wolf Cavalry. Find time to choose again in the future and assemble an elite group of heavily armored infantry, which will definitely help in large-scale battles. ”
"It takes a lot of financial resources, right?" Guo Tu asked.
"Haha... Are we still short of money? Yuan Xi laughed loudly.
..............
The audition of the 200,000 army was carried out a total of 100 times. Each time a quarter of an hour was consumed, plus the time for the removal of soldiers, it turned out to be a whole day, and until the evening, it was still fighting in the field.
"It seems that it is impossible to do the ring today..." Guo Tu glanced at the sky and said to Yuan Xi: "Please go back to the tent to rest, and watch the battle tomorrow." ”
"I proposed the barracks competition, how can I go first?"
"Hold on a little longer, and there will be only a few thousand people left..." Yuan Xi stretched out his arms, feeling a little tired.
"Yes."
The battle did not end until midnight.
As Yuan Xi expected, the soldiers who passed the audition were less than 10,000. They are all registered and are eligible to become honorary soldiers in the future, and they are also candidates for the major elite troops.
With this qualification, they are destined to have a smooth career in the future.
Late at night.
Yuan Xi returned to the camp to rest.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the Aeolian pterosaur shouted a few times in the sky: "Quack..." ”
"Xiaolonglong is here?"
Yuan Xi left the camp tent and rode into the air on the four sides.
Fengshen Pterodactyl reported: "Master, there was news just now. Yuan Shang and the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan formed an alliance again. The Xiongnu also did not promise to attack Xianbei again. Their next target is likely to be Youzhou. ”
"Got it, keep keeping an eye on them." Yuan Xidao.
"Yes."
The Aeolian pterosaur flew away.
Yuan Xi returned to the ground.
"Lord, what's going on?" Wen Chou walked over.
"It's okay..."
Yuan Xi waved his hand and went back to sleep.
...................
Early the next morning, a thick fog filled the camp, making it impossible to see outside. After a day of fighting, the soldiers had just fallen asleep and were about to get up to compete, and they were really tired.
Yuan Xi ordered a one-day postponement.
Moreover, as it stands, it is impossible to get 10,000 people through the ring in one day. If everybody goes on stage to give it a try, it's going to take at least three days.
As a result, the time limit for the contest was tentatively set at three days.
Before the battle began, Yuan Xi returned to Yecheng.
The Zhen brothers got the 100 million paper copper currency and were ready to start selling perfumes. 1,000 bottles of perfume were delivered to the 'Wen Xiang Pavilion' next to the First Restaurant, where they were sold on the street.
Wenxiang Pavilion is a shop purchased by the Zhen family yesterday, worth 400,000 yuan!
There are not many shops in Yecheng that can be worth 400,000 yuan, unless they are restaurants. Wenxiang Pavilion is close to the first restaurant, which is the best location in the city, and the price is slightly higher.
But for the Zhen family, a mere 400,000 is really nothing.
The shop opens.
The perfume was laid out and attracted countless customers.
"What is this?" A crowd gathered around, and one of them asked.
"Perfume? Wipe it on the body, and the fragrance will not disperse. A guy in charge of selling perfume said as he opened the lid of a bottle of perfume, and suddenly a rich fragrance wafted out.
"Wow, it smells so good..."
The customers present were shocked.
This is many times more advanced than that spice and incense powder, I don't know how many times.
"I don't know how much this perfume costs?" The boy who was close to the stall took out his arms and wanted to buy a bottle.
"Ten thousand dollars."
"What?" Hearing the sky-high price of 10,000 yuan, the boy was directly stunned. The surrounding customers couldn't help but take a step back: "This... That's too expensive, right? ”
"Love to buy, don't buy!" Zhen Yao walked out of the store.
The boy hesitated for a moment, saw that there were a lot of people around, and was afraid of losing face, so he took out 10,000 yuan and slapped it on the table: "Buy!" ”
"Refreshing!"
Zhen Yao personally handed him a bottle of perfume.
Except for the boy, everyone else shook their heads and walked away silently. After that, many people came to watch, but they also thought the price was too expensive and didn't want to be the big one.
Zhen Yan called Zhen Yao into the store and said, "According to our previous plan, arrange someone to buy it." After buying the perfume, you can let them go around the city, or go to the North City residential area, or leave the city. Don't reveal your identity, beware of other families sending people to follow you, knowing that we dragged people to buy the perfume. ”
"Second brother, rest assured, everything is ready." Zhen Yao said with a smile: "I guarantee that within ten days, there will be a continuous stream of people to buy perfumes, and they will not be noticed by the families." ”
"Well, let's do it."
"Yes."
Zhen Yao left the store.
It didn't take long for a group of people and guests to arrive outside the store, and they also pretended to dislike the high price, but in the end they all paid for it. Some buy one bottle, some even buy two.
