At midnight, the sky was bright, the horn sounded, and the whole army returned to yesterday's training ground to start a new day of intensive training.

The training content of the second day was more difficult than the previous day, and it took a lot of time just to teach them, but no matter how well the soldiers learned during the teaching, once they trained, they became a mess.

The officers of each team had to be taught over and over again, and from time to time they would be led in the wrong direction by the soldiers, and the whole day of training was not obvious, and only a very small number of teams could fully grasp the training content of this day and present it completely, and most teams were still stumbling at dusk.

After the generals and the teams that joined the army showed the results of their training one by one in the temporary school field, Yang Congyi encouraged the whole army again, so the teams spontaneously trained under the bright moonlight until nearly the third watch.

It is difficult to get a meritorious service in peacetime, and you can get a meritorious service in two days with good training, who doesn't want to? Even if they don't sleep, they have to train well.

But no matter how high-intensity training is, there is a limit, not sleeping at night and fighting fatigue is not allowed, and even on the second watch, Yang Congyi had to order the end of today's training.

After a day of training, the soldiers who were already quite tired sat on the ground, stood up for the colonel and joined the army, sang a song "Song from the Army", and then began to teach and sing sentence by sentence.

The whole army learned to sing for half an hour, and the whole training ground was filled with singing one after another, breaking the long-standing silence of the night in this river valley, and the soldiers were full of passion and the training ground was very lively.

At the end of the third watch, the day's training was finally ended in singing, and the teams returned to the camp to rest. But on such a loud singing night, how can an inspiring song of "Song from the Army" make the excited soldiers sleep peacefully?

After returning to the barracks, the soldiers still couldn't help humming the song, although they couldn't remember the words and couldn't fully understand the meaning of the lyrics, but it didn't affect them to hum along to the melody.

Late at night, there was still the sound of humming from the barracks.

The moon was full of stars, the weather was sunny, and before the horn sounded in the morning, some teams got up early and went to the training ground to start the third day of training.

The training passion and morale of all units of the whole army are getting stronger day by day, and every hour of training, each team has a quarter of an hour to rest and recuperate, and in addition to drinking water, they can also sing; since they learned to sing last night, the training ground has become lively, and as far as the eye can see, almost everyone is full of vigor and vitality, and they are no longer lifeless.

Yang Congyi looked at the changes in Xuanwei Army, although his face was still serious, he was very happy in his heart.

He is the deputy commander of the selection of the general battalion, before the main master comes, he is the master of the selection of the general battalion, no matter how it is changed or changed, no one will blame him, not to mention that he is still the person of the front division of the palace, and he has the responsibility of commanding the whole army, as long as no one in the front division of the palace is in the way, it is impossible for others to criticize him in military training.

This place is big, surrounded by mountains, no matter how he promotes the election of generals, others have no reason to object, because the relevant ministries and institutes of the election charter have signatures, the emperor personally saw it, and even signed and approved it himself, how to implement it is a matter of selecting the generals, and the front division of the palace has commanded Yang Cunzhong to give almost all the authority to Yang Congyi, and he is fully responsible for the implementation of the charter, as for the implementation details, he is naturally in charge.

What should be changed in the new style of training and singing military songs is the basic outlook of the army and the enthusiasm of the army; if there is nothing new, what is the point of organizing such a large-scale selection of generals?

Yang Congyi took the dust and inspected the training ground twice before returning to the camp, the training of the officers and men of the whole army was in full swing, sweating, and still did not relax, they worked so hard, there was no point in staring at them all the time.

In the past few days, under the urging of the county government, the villagers who moved out of Jiangkou Village returned to the village to solve the problem of old houses. In two days, there were no more villagers in the village, and everything that existed on the ground belonged to the camp of the selected generals who had made a lot of money.

Three hundred loads of grain kept in the county treasury were transported, enough for the Xuanwei army to eat for seven or eight days, and the material procurement negotiated by Lu You with businessmen and big households was also cashed in one after another, and some of them had already begun to be transported to the village.

Even though summer and autumn are not the best season for cutting wood and bamboo, the gentry and big landlords who have a large area of mountainous land in order to make a lot of money rush to organize people to go into the mountains to cut down, for fear that their hands and feet will be slower, and their things will not have a chance to be sold to the general camp.

Due to the large number of people who went up the mountain to cut wood and bamboo, the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army who were concentrating on training could always hear the sound of cutting trees from the surrounding mountains and hear the shouts of the people.

In the scorching heat of July, the busy people on the mountain and the soldiers training under the mountain were all in full swing, and they seemed to know no hardship and tirelessness.

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, the whole army rested for half an hour, and then continued training, today is the third day, and the training is all the content of the previous two days, after high-intensity training, these contents are no longer difficult for ordinary soldiers.

Before noon, almost every team was able to execute all the passwords completely after the "assembly" password was issued, although the speed was fast and slow, and the effect was good and bad, but in general, it took three days to practice to this extent, which was far beyond expectations.

Because in Yang Congyi's plan, all passwords are compulsory subjects for the whole army to practice before they go out every day, and they only need to learn them for three days of intensive training, and as for how to be proficient, they still have several months.

After noon, the whole army continued to train until three o'clock, and then rested for a quarter of an hour, ready to enter the school field at any time to perform.

All the generals and soldiers will be gathered in the temporary school field, and they will form a judging team to make a judgment on the merits of the subsequent training and display of each team, and select the three teams with the best performance for commendation.

After announcing several judging criteria, the generals and participated in the division of labor, Lu You assisted Yao Chang to command the teams of the whole army to enter the performance in turn, Shen Jin was responsible for recording the advantages and disadvantages of each team, and Yang Congyi and others made judgments on the spot based on watching the performance of each team.

Half an hour later, the 40 teams of the whole army assembled and lined up on the wide field outside the school grounds, waiting to enter.

"First team, enter!"

Yao Chang shouted in the field, waved the flag in his hand, and saw a team of soldiers walking into the arena under the leadership of the detainees.

When the more than 40 people in the team stood in the performance area demarcated directly opposite the judging group, Yao Chang immediately ordered: "Let's start!" ”

"Look to the left!"

"Look to the right!"

"Stand upright!"

"Take a break!"

"Lizheng!"

"Count!"

......

The whole team was highly concentrated, and they didn't even dare to glance at the members of the judging team who were three feet away, and under the command of the detainees, they completed the actions in turn according to the instructions.

"Stand upright!"

"Turn right!"

"Turn left!"

"Turn back!"

"Let's go!"

After showing all the training content in front of the judging team, the detainees showed a few more complex passwords before leading the team to the sidelines. Later, under the guidance of Lu You, the team walked to the very edge of the school field before stopping, and the follow-up team left enough space for performance.

The eight members of the judging team judged the performance of the first team in turn, from whether the password was proficient, whether the soldiers' responses were accurate and neat, and whether there were omissions in the display content.

Since this is the first team, there are no other pairs to refer to, and the results of the eight judges vary greatly.

But this is also inevitable, as long as they insist on their own judging criteria, it will not have much impact on the overall result, after the first team judged, Yang Congyi gave them this advice and advice.

"Second team, come in!"

As soon as the flag was unfurled, the second team walked in unison from the sidelines.

"Look to the right!"

"Look to the left!"

"Stand upright!"

"Count!"

..........

"Turn back!"

"Let's go!"

The second team of soldiers turned around and walked to the sidelines after making every move under the command of the detainees.

The judging panel then judged the performance of the second team, and any gap between the performance of this team and the previous team was immediately reflected in the judging.

"Third team, enter!"

As soon as the flag was unfurled, another team entered.

......

"Team 23, enter!"

"Team Twenty-Four, Enter!"

......

"Team 40, enter!"

......

"Turn back!"

"Let's go!"

The last team finished their presentation and turned to leave.

As far as the eye can see, the entire school field is almost completely occupied by the Xuanwei Army, and a team stands neatly and neatly, and under the sunset, it is as strong as a pine!

After the forty teams were displayed, the judging team made their judgments one by one, and Shen Jin quickly summarized the results.

Eight judges, three assessments, the three teams with the most excellent results, the first and second places are obviously ahead of the other teams, there is no dispute, but the third place has three teams tied, but it is difficult to choose, and you have to try one more game.

The three teams tied for third place all stepped forward, and Yang Congyi announced on the spot that the content of the additional test was to sing the "Song of the Army", one team repeatedly, and took turns to sing it to the whole army.

"You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! Men should be in critical ......"

The three teams sang the "Song of the Army" in turn, and the good and bad sang it was clear and clear.

"The first, ninth, and thirty-second teams are out!"

Yang Congyi shouted out the top three teams in front of the whole army, and the three teams went out in turn, ranking ahead of the whole army.

"The three-day intensive training of the general selection battalion has come to an end today, and the soldiers who have learned and practiced in the three days have been displayed by the whole army, and there are good and bad soldiers, and they have been trained seriously and have worked hard to forge ahead, and they should be rewarded. The three teams in front of you have performed well in the training camp, and they will be rewarded once! It is hoped that the officers and men of the whole army will take these three teams as an example, continue to train, make persistent efforts, work hard and forge ahead, and strive to win the first place in the next competition! ”

After a pause, Yang Congyi said again: "Before the end of the training exhibition, please sing the "Song of the Army" together with the whole army, I will start, everyone will sing with me!" Don't you see, Han Zhongjun! Ready, up! ”

The whole army sang in unison: "You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is the captive, please be long-tasseled; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting! Abandon my old pen, with my wartime jin, call out more than 100,000 comrades, sing war songs and join the army. Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Huns! ”

Two thousand people roared in unison, singing in the four wildernesses, shaking the mountains and forests!
