Chapter 52 Selection Requirements
Seven days, do you have time to get familiar with mounted archery?
Luo Bai knew it couldn't be.
He was familiar with riding and shooting, and it took him a long time.
Not to mention that before he lost his memory, even after he came to Luojia Village, he often found time to practice riding and archery.
Counting the time, there are also eight years.
It's simply impossible for them to do something in eight years in seven days.
"It's all about contributing to the country, why is this happening?"
Changyang Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Although the family is a family of the imperial court, when it comes to its own interests, it will also make some decisions that are beneficial to itself. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't care?"
Changyang Mingyue looked at Luo Bai strangely: "Why does Your Majesty care?" There is no need for the imperial court to take care of this matter in front of him. To put it simply, the imperial court did not notify the general, but also to test the true strength of the army, is it possible not to tell him that all this army will be cavalry and shooting? ”
Luo Bai was speechless.
That afternoon, Luo Bai started training in this depressing atmosphere.
Under his guidance, Changyang Mingyue also adjusted some of his problems when riding horses, and his riding skills improved little by little.
After dinner in the evening, Pei Gu was about to introduce Luo Bai to everyone, but he heard a call outside the tent: "Captain Pei Gu, come out to discuss matters." ”
Everyone looked at Pei Gu, not knowing what else needed to be discussed at this point.
Luo Bai really didn't have any interest in thinking about anything, and after a tired day, he slept on the bed.
At some point, the tent was opened.
"Everybody, get up!"
It was Pei Gu's voice, very serious and anxious.
Luo Bai sat up in response and looked in the direction of the tent entrance.
It was dark inside the tent, and he couldn't see Pei Gu's expression, but the heartbeat of "dong dong" was so obvious in the darkness.
Luo Bai had a bad intuition: something was wrong.
"Tomorrow, the Commander will send fifty veterans to each unit to select soldiers who are skilled in cavalry and archery, and prepare to form a new team to deal with the autumn disaster in the future."
Sure enough, the general responded.
Although Changyang Mingyue had already gotten the news, she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"What if you don't get selected?"
They all know their own situation, so they don't care about being elected, they only care about what to do if they don't get elected.
"This selection is very strict. If you are selected once, it is okay to say, if you are not selected, then depending on your performance in the first selection, you will choose not to give you a second chance. In other words, if you did well the first time, then there is another chance. Otherwise, it can only be eliminated. ”
As for what happened after the elimination, Wu Chang didn't say. But he said something like this: Even if it is one out of ten, there must be someone in ten teams. Now that I'm going to tell you that as it is, do you know what to do? ”
It was dull inside the tent, and no one answered.
Luo Bai's expression was solemn: How could the autumn attack initiated by the Son of Heaven be carried out in such a way?
This night, he rarely lost sleep.
He thought of Han Wuxin, and thought of the statement book.
There are also uncles and uncles in Luojia Village, and the scars on their bodies are like sharp knives, piercing him in the heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our fathers are thousands of miles away, besieged. I want to go to the place they hold onto, to see the land and the city there, the clouds and snow! ”
This is what Sheng Shige said.
But now, hearing the current news, he felt sad for that group of teenagers whose ideals and beliefs were extremely pure.
They are here for their fathers, for the country, not to be instruments of family fighting! Chessman!
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, so he lifted the quilt and walked out.
It was raining lightly outside and it was a little cold.
He walked in without even thinking about it.
He wanted to calm himself down and not get cranky. But those strange thoughts were as pervasive as air, and he couldn't stop them.
There was a question that he had never thought about: why did he come here?
Is it because of cold and unintentional persecution?
Apparently not.
He wanted to leave Luojia Village, but he didn't know in what capacity.
When Han Wuxin used a conscription order to let him go, he resisted, but finally accepted.
For him, it was his dream to get out of there and see the world.
He came out as he wished, but he was involved in a deeper whirlpool - he suddenly realized that this world is indeed a thousand worlds, but not only beautiful, but also ugly and dangerous!
This is contrary to his original intention of leaving Luojia Village.
He was suddenly confused, not knowing where his future was?
Or, what is your future?
"Uncle Han, Ah Luo, why didn't you tell me anything? If I knew, I wouldn't be so bad. ”
He walked aimlessly in the rain until he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then stopped.
He looked up and looked in the direction in the darkness. I vaguely saw a black shadow raiding back and forth.
Luo Bai's heart moved, and he immediately understood that this was someone practicing riding.
But now it's raining, so it's not suitable for practice at all.
Most importantly, if the horses don't get a good rest at night, they won't have enough physical training tomorrow!
Luo Bai frowned and walked over.
He didn't hide his tracks, but deliberately made the sound of walking, and the other party really stopped and said sharply: "Who?!" ”
The voice...... Pei Gu!
"Captain?"
Luo Bai shouted in surprise, Pei Gu also heard Luo Bai's voice, and subconsciously said, "What about the young master?" Is it coming? ”
Master?
Luo Bai immediately reacted, this was talking about Changyang Mingyue.
"I didn't come, I was alone."
Pei Gu didn't squeak, and Luo Bai was also silent, and the atmosphere was quite silent.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the winds of early winter are raging.
Luo Bai felt cold all over his body.
He looked in Pei Gu's direction, turned around and prepared to leave: "It's raining heavily, I'll go back first." ”
"Stop!"
That's a bit harsh.
Luo Bai stood still, turned his head indifferently, and didn't even ask.
Pei Gu rode over and stopped in front of Luo Bai: "Don't talk about today's matter, especially him." ”
The corners of Luo Bai's mouth curled, knowing that this "he" was talking about Changyang Mingyue.
"I saw what I should see. If he asks, I will say. If he doesn't ask, I won't talk much. ”
"You!"
"Brother Pei, it's a good thing to train in the air at night, there's nothing unpleasant."
Luo Bai said one last word and turned back.
In the early morning of the next day, Pei Gu called Luo Bai up early: "It's time for you to get food today!" ”
Luo Bai opened his eyes, looked at Pei Gu's cold expression, didn't say anything, got up and dressed and went out.
After breakfast, I put away the rice bowl before going to the pasture.
Changyang Mingyue followed him very righteously: "Brother Lu, let's see the situation later, if our team is at the back, you can take the opportunity to teach me more." ”
Luo Bai nodded.
On the way, he briefly explained some horseback riding skills to Changyang Mingyue, and instructed him: "Daily riding skills are different from fighting. In the process of galloping fast, you also have to bend the bow and arrow, which tests your physical coordination. So Brother Changyang, if you have time, you still have to exercise. ”
When he said this, Changyang Mingyue blushed for a while.
Fortunately, he also knew that Luo Bai didn't mean to ridicule him, so he could only smile bitterly.
On the grassland, the two came to their hundred-man team.
At this moment, everyone is one person and one horse, standing upright.
At the front of the team, there were two people, Wu Chang Zhang Shiqi, and the assessment veterans sent above.
Zhang Shiqi's face was white and pure, and he stood in the middle in good spirits.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I informed you of the matter last night. Without further ado, now please talk about the specific selection requirements. ”
This Lord Song looked to be forty years old, a little younger than Han Wuxin.
It's just that the face is cold, and the people who look at it can't help but shudder: this is definitely not an easy person.
Lord Song took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Shiqi, but did not speak, but swept everyone over.
To be honest, this military appearance is quite neat.
It is not easy for people to maintain such a military appearance in parallel with horses, to be honest.
After all, people may be obedient, but horses are different.
Lord Song nodded slightly, this first impression was not bad.
"My name is Song Shixing, and my task now is to select people with superb riding skills from among you and enrich them into the newly formed champion camp as a team to participate in the Autumn Festival."
This is an introduction, a very regular beginning.
"My approach to selecting people is different from others, and I hope you can adapt to it. In a moment I will announce the requirements for selection, and if you feel that you are up to the task, you will lead the horse out of the queue and stand on the right. ”
"Ask me to say it only once, and you listen carefully: First, travel twenty miles long distance, change horses and come back! Second, there will be flocks of sheep and wolves on the way, and you will be asked to shoot three when you go and three when you return! Thirdly, and most importantly, all of this must be done in half an hour! ”
"Now, if you feel you can do it, lead the horse out of the column and stand on the right."
This Nima is here to pick new members? This Nima is here to hit everyone, right?
Not only did Zhang Shiqi feel that it was impossible to achieve it, but even Changyang Mingyue smiled bitterly and was a little discouraged.
For a moment, everyone turned their heads to each other, as if they all thought it was impossible.
Song Shixing didn't stop them, and reminded again: "Give you a cup of tea time to consider." But I advise you to be self-aware, and if you dare to come out, and you end up being too bad, I will report to the general that you have delayed the selection. ”
This is threatened before the selection has begun?
If that's the case, who else would dare to come forward and say they can?
Luo Bai looked at Changyang Mingyue, who was at a loss, and said softly: "Brother Changyang, how are you?" ”
Changyang Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Of these three, I am barely satisfied with the only one, running back and forth for forty miles." As for shooting three sheep and three wolves in the course of the attack, and in half an hour, this could not be done at all. ”
Luo Bai frowned and said, "This is indeed a bit embarrassing. ”
Changyang Mingyue, who is still eager to try on the road, has long lost his previous confidence at this moment.
He said decadently: "Brother Lu, why don't you try it." Now our team can only rely on you. ”
Luo Bai did not agree, nor did he refuse.
He looked up at Song Shixing, who was directly in front of the team, and had some questions.
But at this moment, someone finally came out of the ranks.
"I'm coming!"
Luo Bai quickly turned his gaze to the man and found that it was a rough-looking teenager. The body is strong and the face is dark. Especially those hands, which are more than a circle larger than ordinary people.
With the first, the second, and the third all led their horses out of the column and walked towards the right.
But at this moment, Song Shixing spoke again.
"Three sheep to be hunted at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the twenty-mile journey. The same goes for the three wolves! ”
The dozen or so people who had already been listed were all closed at this moment.
Is this amusing us?
