Gao Shun paid his salary on time, so that all the soldiers were very satisfied, and he was even happier that he had a 2-day vacation, and he could finally have a good rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Gao Qiang returned home, his mother immediately stepped forward, looked left and right, and asked, "Son, the training is so hard, why don't we go next month?" ”

Gao Qiang already had a military temperament, stood straight, and said loudly: "Mother, that's not good, I can't live up to Xu Tunchang's care for me, I guess my father is not my opponent now." ”

"Can you endure that bitterness?"

"Mother, don't worry, although the training is a little harder, but everyone is the same, it's nothing, I can't lag behind others, and I eat better than at home, you see, I've grown a lot taller now, stronger than before."

Gao Jian saw the changes in his son's eyes, but he pretended to be angry and said: "Good boy, you look down on Lao Tzu after less than a month of training?" Let's practice against each other when we have time, and see how I teach you a lesson. ”

Gao Qiang smiled and said: "Father, don't be angry, what I said is true, Xu Tunchang specially taught me a set of marksmanship, if it is a horse fight, you are definitely not my strength." ”

"Then Xu Tunchang is really so powerful?"

"Of course, the horsemanship is exquisite, the marksmanship is strong, and the 3 stone bows can be drawn into a full moon, and the arrows are not missing." Gao Qiang said very enviously.

"How is he better than Ah Shun?"

"Hehe, father, your joke is not funny at all, Xu Tunchang can't even survive Captain Li's 1 round, and the eldest brother is stronger than Captain Li, who do you say is better than Xu Tunchang and the eldest brother?"

Li Qiang's strength has spread since he lifted the stone with one hand, and everyone knows that he is very powerful, but they don't know how powerful Gao Shun is, so Gao Jian asked: "Have you seen Ah Shun show martial arts?" ”

Gao Qiang asked rhetorically: "Father, everyone knows Captain Li's skills, and Captain Li and Captain Zhao have such a respectful attitude towards the eldest brother, don't you understand?" ”

Gao Jian instantly understood Gao Shun's strength, in the land of the border county, force is respected, if there is no absolute strength suppression, even those small soldiers will not admire, not to mention unruly people like Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong, they have strong martial arts, how can they worship a person whose martial arts are not as good as them?

After Gao Wu returned home, Gao Wen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

At dinner, Gao Wen proposed: "Big brother, I also want to participate in the village protection team, I heard that there is no age limit for challengers?" ”

Gao Wu said: "You are still young, and now there is no shortage of food at home, wait and see." ”

"Gao Qiang is younger than me, didn't he participate in it?"

Gao Wu said: "Don't be stubborn, I'm for your good, first, I'm afraid that you won't be able to endure that hardship, and second, I hope you don't compare with Ah Qiang, even I am not his opponent." ”

In the end, it was the mother who spoke: "Awen, listen to your eldest brother, he won't harm you." ”

"Yes, Mother!" Gawain had no choice but to respond.

After the holiday, the behavior of the village protection team to pay salaries on time made many poor families very envious, and its good diet also spread, so that many young people strengthened their determination to participate in the village protection team; What makes everyone resolutely participate in the village protection team is everyone's admiration for the martial arts of Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong, with such a leader, there will definitely be a better future in the future, so that there are people in several surrounding counties who want to participate in the challenge, hoping to become a member of the village protection team.

On the 29th, all members of the village protection team returned to the team on time.

On the morning of the 30th, the selection competitions for Wu Chang and Shi Chang were held in Zhao Village and Taiping Village respectively.

The infantry battle was not much to see, and Gao Shun rode to Zhao Village early in the morning, ready to watch the cavalry trials.

The cavalry selection consists of two elements, mounted archery and horse warfare.

Captain Xu Zhen first rode to the front of the team and shouted, "I'm the tun chief, is anyone challenging me?" ”

After a month of training, everyone admired Xu Zhen's martial arts very much, and no one dared to challenge him.

"Well, since no one has come to challenge, I will continue to serve as the commander for a month, but I hope that someone will dare to challenge me next month, this is the courage that a soldier should have."

"Yes, Chief!"

"What? Didn't I hear, didn't I eat? ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Xu Zhen learned Li Qiang's expression and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going to fight with everyone next month, and feel your progress well." Without further ado, let's start the selection of the captains now, and then the chiefs from among the captains; The first item is mounted archery, galloping on horseback, fifty steps away, firing 3 arrows, and those who shoot 2 arrows continue to the following selection, otherwise they will be eliminated. ”

Gao Shun was very satisfied with Xu Zhen's performance, and checked his force value, which reached 69, an increase of 3 points, and after a while, if his force value could exceed 70, he would have the strength to serve as the captain of the thousand-man team.

In front of the left side of the team, 5 scarecrows are lined up in turn, about 5 meters apart, galloping through on horseback, and shooting at least 3 arrows in between, which is not difficult for archery masters, but difficult for novices, both to maintain a sufficient rate of fire and to have a high hit rate.

A total of 38 people participated in the selection, including 5 who missed the target, 11 who hit one arrow, 17 who hit 2 arrows, and 5 who hit 3 arrows.

Although Li Qiang was quite satisfied with such a result, he shouted angrily: "Those who don't play are cowards, and they don't even dare to play, if they go to the battlefield, you are deserters, and these people will run once in the afternoon as punishment." There are only 22 people who can enter the next selection, I am very dissatisfied, and now I announce that the selection of the chief will be cancelled, and only 11 captains will be selected this time, and everyone will fight against two people next to each other, and the winner will be the captain; I hope everyone will show their real skills, if you give up deliberately, see how I clean you up, you must know that the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, if you don't even have this bit of courage, go home and nurse the child. Now the selection begins. ”

In order to avoid casualties, the weapon used in the game is a 2-meter-long wax pole, but even if it can't hurt the muscles and bones, it will hurt for a long time, so that everyone can remember that this is training, and if you are on the battlefield, you will lose your life.

The first to appear was Gao Qiang, and his opponent was a 20-year-old man from another village, whom Gao Shun didn't know.

The young man underestimated Gao Qiang a little, thinking that he came in by virtue of his connections, and he was still so young.

The two were stationed 20 meters away, and the opponent shouted: "Little doll, if you are afraid, say it in advance, don't be beaten and cry your nose." ”

Gao Qiang snorted coldly: "Hmph, let's see who is crying in a while!" ”

Xu Zhen shouted: "Don't ink, start!" ”

When the two heard the order, they slapped the horse's buttocks at the same time, accelerating forward, and in the horse war, whoever has the fastest horse will have a certain advantage.

When the two horses are staggered, the opponent first sweeps, wanting to sweep Gao Qiang under the horse; Gao Qiang held the wax rod with both hands, blocked hard, the strength was much greater than the opponent, and successfully collapsed the opponent's wax rod, and then turned to the right hand to hold the rod in one hand, without even looking, taking advantage of the momentum to swing the wax rod to the back of the body, the wax rod went straight to the opponent's ribs, the opponent has been wrong, and he could not see Gao Qiang's back move, he was hit by a blow, although he was not swept under the horse, but it has made him feel unbearable pain, lost his combat effectiveness, if he has a spearhead, he is either dead or injured, and the consequences are very serious.

Xu Zhen immediately pronounced a verdict in which Gao Qiang won.

Gao Shun sighed, Gao Qiang's skills were too agile, and immediately checked his force value, and it was 55, which increased by 4 points in a month, which was incredible; The opponent Sun Wei is 19 years old, and his force value is 48, which is not bad.

Looking at Gao Shun's puzzled expression, Li Qiang explained: "General, it was Xu Zhen who taught him a set of marksmanship, and his combat effectiveness improved rapidly. ”

"A set of marksmanship alone is not enough to improve it so much, besides, marksmanship can be practiced in a month?"

Li Qiang hurriedly explained: "General, the opponent has not practiced, he will excel if he practiced, besides, his own foundation is good, and he trains hard." ”

Gao Wu directly gave up the first round of selection, Gao Shun checked his force value, increased by 2 points, to 43, which is already very good, but it is still at the bottom of the cavalry team.

The rest of the matches went smoothly, with a maximum of 3 rounds to end the fight.

Xu Zhen announced: "Now the 11 captains have been successfully selected, but whether you can keep your position depends on whether you can accept the challenge and defeat your opponents; The 11 people who failed just now have 2 chances to challenge, and they can challenge any of them, as long as they win, they are Wu Chang, and of course they have to accept the challenge of others, while the Wu Chang who loses the opportunity to challenge others, and if you want to challenge, you can only wait for next month. ”

The position is related to everyone's salary, and determines their position in the team in the future, so everyone has the ability to breastfeed. More importantly, everyone knows each other's strength, and when they challenge, they will find someone with similar strength as their opponent, which makes the challenge more intense than the battle just now.

Just now, everyone saw Gao Qiang's strength, and no one dared to underestimate him anymore, no one came to challenge him, and he passed smoothly.

Sun Wei chose a person named Wu Gang to challenge, defeated the opponent effortlessly, became a candidate for Wu Chang, and then accepted 2 challenges, both of which were defeated, but the victory was very difficult, especially in the face of the second challenger, who was exhausted, and it took 10 rounds to narrowly defeat the opponent, and the opponent was very unconvinced, threatening to continue the challenge next month.

For the 11 people selected, Gao Shun checked their force values in turn, the highest one was a person named Wei Wei, 25 years old, 61 force value, was one of the rescued people, and the lowest force value was 47.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with the quality of the entire cavalry team, and immediately shouted: "I am a little dissatisfied with this selection, especially those who gave up at the beginning, but in the end, everyone had the courage to participate in the challenge, which made me a little happy, I hope everyone will be like this in the future, and there will be a momentum not to admit defeat; Now, I have appointed Wei Wei as the Dubo to assist Xu Tunchang in managing the cavalry team, and the remaining 10 people are the commanders, of which 2 people are 6 people, and everyone is free to distribute the team. ”

"Xie Dongjia!"

Gao Shun said: "You have to train hard in April, and next month you will not only assess everyone's strength, but also assess the strength of each team, aiming to test the leadership ability of each team leader." ”

"Yes, owner!"
