The truth is within the range of the bow and arrow, and as a soldier and a warrior, Chao Gai naturally knows the importance of the escort. It is now the end of March of the first year of Zhenghe, and in three months, Gao Yu will become a captain, forcing Wang Jin away, and slowly forming a new force to disrupt the government, so we must pay close attention to military training.

In the past few days when Wu Yong went to Jiyang City to do business, Chao Gai arranged the training in an orderly manner. In addition to training troops, it is also necessary to train generals. It was just dawn, and the annoying wake-up call was loud and harsh, and the guards quickly got up, got dressed, and hurriedly went to the hand press well outside to get water, wash their faces, and tidy up their clothes.

Li Kui heard the wake-up call, turned over, covered his head and fell asleep again.

A squad leader next to him came over and shouted, "Hurry up." ”

"If you quarrel again, I'll be careful to beat you." Li Kui said.

The squad leader didn't dare to say it again, after all, he was just a squad leader, Li Kui was also a squad leader, and he would soon be promoted to, this guy has a lot of strength and great martial arts, and he is deeply loved by Chao Gai.

The outside team was assembled and recruited one after another, and the step-by-step escort team was already a standard establishment of three hundred people, of course, due to the large number of recruits, the combat effectiveness was reduced. Since there are more than 150 grassroots veterans, it is much easier for new recruits and veterans to integrate and train together. No more shouting dumb voices for slogans such as turning left and right, walking in unison, walking in steps, and walking in steps.

The team was assembled, in a mighty formation, with a reed leaf gun in each hand, the head of the gun was shining cold, and he was carrying forty pounds of luggage.

Liu Tang held a big Pu knife in his hand, and led the team to run out of the gate of the camp shouting slogans in full armor, and the day's morning exercise began.

Chao Gai carried a bow and arrows on his back, boasting of the Heavenly King's mountain opening knife. Chao Zhang, Chao Ran, and Hua Lei next to him are also ready.

"What about Li Kui." Chao Gai asked.

"Still lazy sleeping." Chao Ran replied.

"Let's go, come with me." Chao Gai's face was angry, and everyone knew that Li Kui should be unlucky.

When Chao Gai came in, Li Kui was snoring.

"Li Kui." Chao Gai shouted.

When Li Kui heard Chao Gai's voice, a spirit got up from the bed, put on his clothes haphazardly, scratched his head, and said, "I overslept, overslept." ”

"Fart, your comrades-in-arms have called you, why don't you get up, and you still speak ill of each other." Chao Gai scolded, "Say it yourself, how to punish you for being late for morning exercises." ”

"Beat the five military sticks." Li Kui said.

"Hua Lei."

"Yes." Dequeue.

"Beat Li Kui's five military sticks." Chao Gai said.

Li Kui hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother, brother, Tie Niu knows that he is wrong, Hua Lei is too strong, and the five sticks are not dead and half a life." There is a reason why I don't get up early, recently the amount of chicken and duck meat is very small, and there is no mutton, and I am tired of practicing like a cow and a horse for a day. ”

"If you have a chance, you will be punished, and you will fight." Chao Gai said with a dark face.

Li Kui was also obedient, lying on the stool by himself, Chao Ran beat five sticks with an ash rod, and Li Kui's thick skin and thick flesh would not hurt him.

Chao Gai said: "I also explained to you about the change of food, recently there are locusts, chickens and ducks to exterminate locusts, eggs and duck eggs to hatch, naturally you can't eat more." As for the problem of mutton, you should understand that now that there is a spring drought, there is not much grass, and the sheep is losing fat so much that killing and eating meat is a waste at all. But with an average of two catties of carp or grass carp per person every day, my brother has never treated you badly from food. ”

Li Kui smiled and said: "Brother, don't be angry, I Tie Niu knows that I am wrong, from tomorrow, if I get up late, my brother will beat my ass to pieces." ”

Chao Zhang next to him said: "Li Kui is fast when he eats fish and meat, and it is easy to get stuck, so he eats very little fish. ”

Chao Gai scolded with a smile: "It must be your black guy who eats and devours, it's easy to get stuck, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Chao Gai called over a guard, arranged a few words for him, and asked him to go to logistics.

Chao Gai said: "Li Kui, my brother has prepared a weapon for you, I don't know if you like it." ”

Li Kui said: "It's still my brother who is good to me, show it to me." ”

Chao Gai let people bring things in, a pair of iron plate axes are beautiful, the blade edge is sharp, in order to eat and live, the axe handle is also iron, a fifteen catties, much better than the original Li Kui's pair of plate axes for chopping firewood, this is a weapon.

"This is a pair of plate axes, fifteen pounds each, made of iron, the axe handle is only one foot long, the most suitable for foot combat, if you like it, it will be yours."

Li Kui took the plate axe, tried it in his hand, and it fit very well, "Haha, it's my iron bull." Li Kui was overjoyed.

At this time, a guard brought in a horse battle axe more than a zhang long from the outside, made of high-grade fine iron, the blade of the axe like a crescent moon was one foot, and the whole big axe was very heavy, full of sixty catties.

"This, this is also for me?" Li Kui asked.

"You have a horse now, you said that when you fight on a horse, how do you use your board axe, you have great strength, ordinary reed leaf guns or simple knives are not easy to use, wouldn't it be better if there was such a big axe of more than one zhang."

"But, but, but I won't use it." Li Kui said with a bitter face.

Chao Gai went over and kicked Li Kui to stumble.

"Chao Zhang and Chao Ran are not as qualified as you, you see how the two of them practice, brother, I don't know anything about painting halberds, I don't know how to draw bows and arrows, and now I don't. If you say something like that, I'll cook in my room. Chao Gai said angrily.

Li Kui didn't dare to disobey, Chao Gai only gave him the plate axe, and the one-zhang-long big axe was returned to the armory. A group of five people came to the back of the small school field and began training. Chao Zhang and Chao Ran practiced spear and foot combat against each other, and occasionally practiced on horseback, but they were a little reluctant.

Li Kui and Hua Lei are both good qualifications, but there was no guidance from a famous teacher before, and their muscle strength was not perfect enough.

"One hundred prone palms, one hundred pull-ups, one hundred sit-ups per person, and call me when they're ready." After Chao Gai finished arranging, he went to the side to practice archery.

Li Kui and Hua Lei muttered quietly while practicing.

"What's the use of practicing these weird things, you might as well chop a few more axes." Li Kui muttered quietly.

Hua Lei said while doing push-ups: "You know a fart, you see that you are full of flesh, and your brute strength is not small, why can't even Chao Ran beat people of ordinary size, it is because they are flexible, their muscles are explosive, and they are skilled." ”

"Are these weird moves really that useful?" Li Kui asked.

"Three months, three months at most, and your running pork belly will turn into strong muscles." Warley said.

Soon the two stopped talking, and after three hundred movements, Hua Lei was fine, but Li Kui was already tired and sweating to death.

Chao Gai shot a hundred arrows and came over.

"Run ten laps along the playground and hit the punching bags." Chao Gai didn't give him two breaks and continued to practice.

After running, he put on gloves and hit sandbags, Li Kui's foundation is too poor, he is completely born in a fight and brawl, straight fist hook boxing, elbow strike, forward kick, side kick, whip leg all kinds of basic movements need Chao Ran to guide from the side, Hua Lei is slightly better, but he is also very curious about this kind of beating, after all, sanda is not common in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is more common to wrestle, sumo wrestling, as for Baji Boxing, which belongs to the boxing method inherited by the master, it is generally not transmitted.

Li Kui was born to practice boxing and kicking, too resistant to fighting, Chao Gai beat him for a stick of incense, he fell seven or eight heels, if he changed someone else's designated nose and swollen face, he couldn't get out of bed for three or five months, this black guy didn't have anything to do with birds, and followed up with Hua Lei to practice.

At noon, Li Kui practiced with everyone for an hour of formation and queue, and then followed Liu Tang again, and there was no trick for Liu Tang to use the axe, so he arranged for Li Kui to go to the room to split wood, two large axes flew up and down, and the thick wood at the mouth of the bowl was split in half, Li Kui was sweating hotly, his clothes were thrown away, and his black fat was swaying.

Li Kui said while chopping wood: "Brother Liu Tang, when will you teach me knife techniques." ”

Liu Tang rolled his eyes, "Teach you to be tall, my brother said when all the fat on your body has become muscles, and then learn something else, your current level is more than enough to deal with small soldiers and military generals who are not in the stream, and it is not good to meet a master." ”

"My mother, why am I so miserable, how can Brother Chao Gai treat me like this."

Liu Tang shook the bamboo stick next to him a few times, and said, "Be content, brother, this is good for you." What's more, you worship Brother Chao Gai as a master, what is a master, just like your father, let alone let you practice basic skills, even if you kneel, you have to listen. ”

Li Kui looked helpless, although he was a bad person, he understood that he would definitely listen to his master's words.

After splitting the wood, Li Kui went to the back to do pull-ups, and then push-ups and the like a hundred times each, and after a short break, it was a boxing, the big black face was full of sweat, although Chao Gai scolded on his mouth, but he was extremely surprised, this kind of training method may not be able to withstand himself, after all, people are not machines, let alone gods.

"Okay, rest for a while, practice with the brigade in the afternoon, and practice your fists and feet in the evening, or you and Hua Lei will practice." Chao Gai said.

Li Kui happily washed his face, tidied up his clothes, and followed Chao Gai to the cafeteria, happy along the way.

Before arriving at the cafeteria, Li Kui sniffed: "It's so fragrant, there is something delicious today." ”

The vegetables are still very rich, the green vegetables and radishes have to be fried four or five varieties, because the pork is very expensive, the Chao family's own pig farm has not yet slaughtered pigs, so the pork is very small. However, there is a large pot of fried small fish, a large pot of fried river shrimp tastes fragrant, and there is an iron pot stewed carp next to it.

"What else to see, if you want to eat, hurry up and get it." Chao Gai said.

Li Kui was not polite, he made a plate of fried small fish, a plate of fried river shrimp, and took four steamed buns. Chao Gai eats more than him, but he prefers to eat large carp.

Deep-fried small fish, this fish is a white fish, about ten centimeters long, it is crispy as soon as it is fried, and it is not afraid of fish bones at all, and the same is true for river shrimp.

The corners of Li Kui's mouth were oily, the small fish and shrimp were stuffed into his mouth, and the four steamed buns were not full, so he got three more. Chao Gai was secretly frightened, this guy was even crazier than himself, too good to eat.

Chao Gai also ate six steamed buns, but it was much slower than Li Kui's.

Liu Tang came over with a rice bowl at this time, and said to Li Kui: "I can eat this fried small fish, but it is your light, my brother is afraid that you will be stuck by the fish bones, so he specially asked people to send small fish and river shrimp." ”

Li Kui smiled: "My brother is the best person in the world. ”

Chao Gai said: "After eating the rest meeting, practice the military posture of the queue in the afternoon, stand with a standing statue, and sit with a sitting style." After speaking, Chao Gai ignored Li Kui, turned around and walked out of the dining hall.
