It was early in the morning, and the barracks of the original Shuyang garrison were again crowded with a large number of people.

Because today is the day when the new army in Shuyang will be tested for joining the army.

Lin Yuyan stood on a small hill not far from here, with an extremely wide field of vision, and he had an unobstructed view.

When he saw that the figures were almost gathered, Lin Yuyan asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Xiang Ying on the side nodded, and replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, you are ready, the road from Sanli Pavilion in the east of the city to the wharf of Shuyang is just more than ten miles, and it is just right to test the rapid steps of these soldiers." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yuyan nodded, this eagle is the former lieutenant of Shuyang, in charge of the city defense army and Xiangyong in Shuyang, he was also a centurion who retired in the Nanyang Army, experienced more than 20 battles, and is a capable person.

Therefore, Lin Yuyan entrusted him with the test of selecting to join the army.

"The time of a pillar of incense, more than ten miles, that is to say, a distance of five thousand meters in twenty minutes, should be all good men of Wuguo!"

Lin Yuyan also said in his heart.

Xiang Ying is now on a temporary earthen platform in the barracks, looking at the bustling crowd under the platform, it seems that they are all mighty men, and they are also relieved in their hearts.

Xiang Ying moistened his throat and said loudly: "Today, it is the first item of your army test-sprint!" ”

"And your goal is to run from the pavilion not far in front of me to the Shuyang Wharf ten miles away within a pillar of incense time, and I will be qualified!"

Hearing Xiang Ying say this, there were people around him who were eager to try.

"A pillar of incense takes ten miles to travel, which requires a good foot strength!"

"I'm afraid it's not enough to just have a good foot strength, after all, this ten-mile road is only a pillar of incense, I'm afraid I will run away!"

"What are you afraid of, if you can't run down, those pampered young masters can run down?"

"That's right! Thank you, young masters, they can ride horses and ox carts on weekdays, but when it comes to foot strength, I dump ten of them one by one! ”

"Haha......"

……

Xiang Ying heard a burst of laughter from the crowd, and he also relieved the uneasiness in his heart a little, after all, in his opinion, the time of a pillar of incense is ten miles, which is not an easy thing to complete.

Just have faith!

It seems that not all the men of the martial country have entered the city defenders by virtue of their family relationships, and those people are generally not planted!

"In this case, go to Sanli Pavilion where to leave your name, get the sign and go to prepare!" Xiang Ying waved his hand and said so.

The crowd crowded towards Sanli Pavilion.

Lin Yuyan, who was standing on the small hill, also glanced at the crowd and estimated: "I'm afraid there are more than 3,000 people there who want to join the army......

Jing Yi nodded and replied, "Your Highness, there are more than three thousand two hundred and sixty people in total. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded: "Have the people of the Sect Guard arranged it?" ”

Jing Yi nodded: "It's arranged, it's not good for me to come forward with Ji Wu, Chun Yuqi and others in this kind of thing, after all, the requirements of the sect are in accordance with the standard of "martial arts", so only an ordinary sect guard was sent to lead the way, and it is estimated that he should be able to reach the finish line in about a quarter of an hour." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, after all, there are too few timekeeping tools today, such as "corona" and "drip clock" are too cumbersome, and others are difficult to apply here.

"That's it, as long as there is a reference like Zongwei, there should be no error."

Hearing His Highness say this, Jing Yi also nodded.

But soon a gong sounded, and the black figures moved quickly towards the east again.

"Your Highness, the sprint has begun!" Jing Yi reminded Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan looked over, and at this time, many people rushed to the front, but on the other hand, his own Zongwei was drowned in the crowd and could not be seen.

Jing Yi also noticed this and explained: "Your Highness doesn't have to care, any of us and other Zongwei are elite soldiers in the border army!" At present, this ten-mile road is a test of speed, but the heavier one is endurance, so it is necessary to charge up in the early stage, these people are running so fast now, His Highness continued to look, after two miles, it is absolutely impossible to run. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded, ten miles away, this is indeed not a distance that can be run at will in the early stage.

"Walk to the Shuyang Wharf, Chun Yuqi is waiting for us there, and the Shuyang Order is also there to mobilize grain and grass, so it's just right to go now." Lin Yuyan said.

Jing Yi agreed.

A random group of centaurs slowly walked in the direction of the Huaiyang Wharf.

But I didn't expect that only half an hour later, I received a message.

"Your Highness, four miles ahead, the people who are testing to enter the army meet the water bandits who are burning and killing the villages!"

A guard who turned back from the front reported this.

Lin Yuyan didn't expect this either, and immediately reacted: "Hurry up!" ”

During this period of time, the water bandits were as active as if they were crazy, and they did not seem to be afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the army sent by the Wuguo Imperial Court, and launched a sneak attack on the Shuyang Wharf several times, because the Shuyang Wharf was properly arranged, so they did not succeed.

These annoyed and angry water bandits set their sights on the civilians of the villages and towns on the border of the city of Shuyang, and carried out a large number of massacres, and now they have received news that this group of water bandits has slaughtered the civilians of several villages!

"The remnants of this Ma clan's escape must be in this gang of bandits!" Lin Yuyan said firmly.

So the group quickly rushed to the place of the incident.

By the time we arrived at our destination, it had been a quarter of an hour, and it had gradually calmed down, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Xiang Ying, how's it going?" Jing Yi asked.

Xiang Ying had blood on his face, and then looked at Jing Yi and Lin Yuyan and returned: "There are about two or three hundred water bandits who attacked this village, and most of them participated in the army test. ”

Lin Yuyan asked, "What about our casualties?" ”

Xiang Ying said with an embarrassed face: "More than 30 people were killed and more than 100 people were injured. ”

"These damn bandits!" Lin Yuyan said angrily, then swept the surroundings, suddenly turned pale, looked at Xiang Ying and said angrily word by word: "What about the others? We didn't find any backward soldiers all the way, why does it seem that there are less than 2,000 people here?! ”
