On the day of the recruits' review, the sky was very face-saving, the sun was shining in the sky, and the spring breeze was very gentle, which was suitable for outdoor activities.

Early in the morning, Liu Renyu took Li Jiye and several other generals to stand on the parade platform, ready to see how effective the recruits who had undergone three months of training were doing for three months.

'When, when, when, when.....' A chiming bell on the reviewing stand rang eight times, indicating that the time had come to 8 a.m.

"Raise the national flag and play music." Liu Renyu ordered at Li Jiye.

"Yes, General." Li Jiye first agreed, and then shouted loudly to the military band opposite the rostrum: "Play music, raise the national flag." ”

The military band located opposite the rostrum received the order and played the song "Serving the Country with Loyalty", and then a guard of honor held a flag of the sun, moon and waves, and walked to the flagpole located on the review stand, and slowly raised the national flag of the sun, moon and waves along the flagpole.

When the national flag rises along the flagpole, Liu Renyu and the other generals are close to each other, their toes are separated, so that the angle between the heels is 120 degrees, the head is raised and the chest is closed, and the upright person stands upright, paying attention to the national flag.

After the flag-raising ceremony was over, Li Jiye, the commander-in-chief of the parade, asked Liu Renyu: "General, the recruits have been prepared, may I ask if the parade has started?" ”

"Let's go." Liu Renyu waved his hand.

"The parade begins."

With Li Jiye's loud shout, a herald holding a small flag waved the flag to signal the start of the parade.

At a distance of 200 meters from the rostrum, a lime line was drawn, and behind the lime line, the phalanx of recruits stood in the order of musketeers, pikemen, sword and shield men, archers, and cavalry.

At this time, considering that the snow and ice have melted, there is no need to wear white military uniforms for camouflage, and the recruits are wearing uniforms that are uniformly distributed. The color red looks festive and eye-catching, and the Ming officials and soldiers have a tradition of wearing red mandarin duck fat jackets, so Liu Renyu will naturally prepare a set of red military uniforms for his subordinates.

After three months of training, the recruits were no longer as organized and disciplined as they used to be, and they stood silent, motionless like javelins before they received orders. Even the cavalry were united in one and stood in great order.

Then, with the signal flag on the parade stand, the message of the start of the parade was announced, and the military band played the familiar parade melody. The instructors of the various management teams in charge of commanding the recruits dragged out their voices and shouted loudly: "All of them, walk in unison." ”

All the cavalry phalanxes began to move.

'Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa. The sound of the slamming of the nails sounded rhythmically and rhythmically.

All the recruits walked at the same pace, like a wall. The phalanx formed by these recruits, which is a line horizontally and a line vertically, has a neat beauty.

"Yes, yes, the recruits are trained and walk neatly, and I am very satisfied." Liu Renyu looked at the recruits and nodded again and again.

After listening to Liu Renyu's praise, everyone felt relieved in their hearts and felt that they had light on their faces. And Yang Desheng, who was the most enthusiastic about victory and defeat among the generals, didn't listen to Liu Renyu's words at all, and he was paying close attention to the march of the pikemen phalanx at this time.

The distance of 200 meters was not very long, and the phalanx of recruits walked for a while before walking to the review stand.

When each recruit phalanx reached the parade stand, the instructor of the management team would draw his saber, first erect the blade, raise the knife in front of him, and then put the knife down, pointed diagonally to the ground, and shouted: "Salute." ”

When the recruits heard this order, except for the soldier on the far right, the rest looked to the right, saluted Liu Renyu, and shouted in unison: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win." ”

Liu Renyu smiled and waved his hand as a reply.

After the recruits finished walking the phalanx, Liu Renyu first nodded again and again, and then said to several generals around him: "The walk is very good, but I think the pikemen are the best." ”

Yang Desheng, who had always been extremely nervous, first secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this evaluation, and then smiled slightly: "General, you have won the award." ”

"Congratulations, Desheng, it seems that the first prize of this group belongs to you pikemen." The other generals congratulated Yang Desheng Dao.

Zhang Tieniu said in his heart, 'Yang Desheng, you cheat'! However, in order to maintain the relationship with colleagues, I could only hold back my nausea and echo it.

After the review of the performative group phalanx project, the next step is to test the basic military skills of each branch of the military.

For this project, Yang Desheng is very confident that he will win, because his pikemen are trained extremely hard, and the amount of training is more than that of other troops.

Therefore, when the recruits compete in basic military skills according to the established procedures, that is, they compare weight-bearing cross-country running, push-ups, pull-ups and other team events with full participation, Yang Desheng's team has a very advantage.

Among the recruits of other departments, there may be a few soldiers with extraordinary talents and abnormal physique who can be stronger than Yang Desheng's troops, but on the whole, Yang Desheng's soldiers are stronger overall.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in terms of group military projects, it was Yang Desheng's spearmen who won.

Finally, in the group project of the recruit review, Liu Renyu thinks that Yang Desheng's pikemen are the best, and the pikemen will win the first place in the recruit review group project.

This first place made Yang Desheng feel extremely proud, and he felt that in order to force the soldiers to train more, he secretly spent his own money to improve the food of the soldiers.

When Liu Renyu presented a big certificate to Yang Desheng, the group project of the recruit review came to an end, and the next thing was to select the three soldiers with the strongest military skills within each branch.

The first to appear is the firecracker, which is a soldier who hits a fixed target first from near to far, and selects some targets that can be hit at the extreme range.

If these soldiers are allowed to hit moving targets, they will naturally be the top among the firecrackers.

Next up are the archers, which also shoot at fixed targets first, and then at moving targets.

When the recruits of the archers were still competing with each other, Liu Renyu seemed to remember something, and said to Zhang Tieniu: "Tieniu, didn't you accept a marksman named Fan Xiongxin before?" How is he? ”

"General, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, you say, how is he?"

"The legs and feet are not good yet."

"That's fine, go and call him, I want to see how his archery skills are?"

"Yes, General. Let's go. ”

Zhang Tieniu got the order, so he went straight to find Nafan Ambition to come to the school field.

That Fan Ambition was brought to Liu Renyu by Zhang Tieniu, and naturally he was inevitably greeted for a while, and he didn't press it here.

"Fan Xiongxin, when you were fighting that day, your archery skills were so good, and you were able to accurately shoot us in the eyes in the chaos of the army, you are very good."

"The general spared his life, the villain was forced by thieves at that time, and he had to ....... with the general."

"Stop, stop, at that time, each is its master, this general doesn't blame you, I want to see your archery skills now, you come to show your hand, if you are really good, I will talk to Tie Niu, directly let you be the flag boss, pay attention, the flag boss's monthly salary is one or two or five dollars of silver, which is very rich. In addition to this, there is a monthly ration, enough for your family to eat, come, you try. ”

As soon as Liu Renyu's voice fell, someone handed Fan Xiongxin a one-stone strong bow.

This Fan ambitious just heard Liu Renyu say that as long as he performs well, he can be a flag boss, he was very moved, so in order to impress Liu Renyu at once, he walked to a place 70 steps away from the fixed arrow target, and without saying a word, he suddenly released three arrows in a row.

After these three arrows leave the string, they shoot out with electricity, and after a short time, they are 'grabbed, grabbed, grabbed' and nailed to the arrow target.

'Wow'

The archers who saw the results of Fan Xiongxin's archery were in an uproar, looking extremely surprised.

And Liu Renyu and others also opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

I saw three arrows shot by Fan Xiongxin, the first arrow was nailed in the middle of the red heart, the second arrow was shot at the tail of the first arrow, and the third arrow was shot at the tail of the second arrow.

It's not good to be able to shoot like this at a distance of 70 steps.

Fan Xiongxin saw Liu Renyu so frightened, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart, it seemed that the position of the general flag was stable.

"You're really good, but I wonder if you're so good at shooting moving targets?"

"The villain is willing to give it a try."

"Okay, come on, get a target."

He took a wooden arrow target from someone and handed it to Liu Renyu.

"Ready, go."

Liu Renyu threw the target out with all his might.

Almost at the moment when the target was out of his hand, Fan Xiongxin bent his bow and shot out, and with a 'grabb' sound, the feather arrow hit the target.

'Wow'

The crowd was amazed again.

"Okay, you're really good. Tie Niu, this Fan is ambitious and has good archery skills and actual combat experience, so I will be the flag boss for you. ”

"Yes, General, Tie Niu knows, hey, ambition, don't thank the general soon."

"The villain thanked the general." Fan Xiongxin knelt on the ground and thanked him.

"Well, let's move on." Liu Renyu waved his hand.

Subsequently, several generals watched the sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and cavalry fight each other, and took the top three to praise them.

In this way, the inspection of the recruits came to an end, and all the recruits joined the battle sequence of the Jingbian Fort Army, and the number of the regular army at Jingbian Fort had reached 1,000.
