Li Yanzhao, who had been beaten with a military stick, spent a few days in the tent recuperating. For a few days, he could only lie prone in bed. Liu Jiwu and Cao Jian took turns to be responsible for the daily work of the stables and the practice of martial arts for everyone. When he was carried back by everyone that day, Li Yanzhao, who was open-skinned, finally stopped gritting his teeth and forbearing, and shouted in his tent.

Seven or eight days later, Li Yanzhao, who had already recovered from his injuries, stood up and limped to the foot of the mountain to observe everyone's drills.

When he left the camp gate, the sergeants guarding the camp gate saw him, but they greeted him one after another: "Chief Li Shi, it's early." Li Yanzhao couldn't help but be flattered, but he saw them one by one. Because of the previous events, he had become a celebrity in the camp. Everyone heard that the leaders of the new group of stables were fierce and abnormal, and even Song Xiaohu, the first tyrant in the army, was not an opponent.

So everyone was amazed, but they no longer dared to underestimate the group of stables led by Li Yanzhao. Since then, no one has spoken out against him, and when he sees him, he is respectful.

The Captain was also very surprised. Li Yanzhao also came to visit the tent in person while he was sick in bed. After coming out of the tent, I saw everyone practicing at the foot of the mountain. I couldn't help but go out and take a closer look. Seeing that everyone was messing with arrows, the wooden dummies used as targets were filled with arrows. I can't help but be amazed.

Seeing that everyone was playing the foot stomping game, they also stepped forward to ask, and learned that this method was a clever trick that Li Yanzhao and others came up with in order to practice the footwork of melee fighting.

Ma Duwei is old in the army, has been practicing for many years, and is proficient in martial arts. However, when I first came into contact with this kind of game, I seemed a little clumsy, and I was stepped on by Liu Jiwu many times at first. However, it wasn't long before the two of them were back and forth. Ma Duwei, who is skilled in martial arts, has won many skillful times, but he has also seen everyone applaud again and again. Ma Duwei also had a lot of fun, and when he said goodbye to everyone and returned to the camp, he was sweating profusely.

Li Yanzhao walked to the foot of the mountain, but everyone was practicing bows and arrows. Cao Jian ordered everyone to stand in a row with bows and arrows to practice everyone's durability. At this time, everyone was able to hit seven or eight out of ten within ten steps. Cao Jian was already satisfied, so he widened the distance of the target to twenty steps.

However, in the process of shooting the target at 20 steps, Cao Jian found that the hands of the people who drew the bow were not very stable, so the arrow repeatedly missed the target. He then came up with this method to practice the people. At this time, everyone had raised their bows for a moment, and their arms were sore. The amplitude of the jitter has gradually increased.

"Steady!" Cao Jian cheered for everyone on the side: "Hold your hand steadily, and the arrows sent out can be accurate." In the future, when I go into battle, I will wait for the enemy to be close to thirty or fifty paces before I have to use a bow and arrow. At such a distance, if you wait for the archer to shake slightly, the arrow will be able to deflect a few feet away! Brothers, remember that if you shoot down one more enemy at that distance, you will be able to face one less enemy when they are close and you will be able to fight with your sword. The battlefield is full of life-fighting errands, and you must not be sloppy! ”

Li Yanzhao found a place and carefully sat down to watch everyone practice. At this time, although the place where he was hit by the stick on his buttocks had improved, it still had a dull pain, especially when lying on his back and sitting down, and the slightest movement would hurt him.

Under Cao Jian's encouragement, everyone persevered for another quarter of an hour. Cao Jian saw that the amplitude of everyone's hand trembling was almost uncontrollable, so he shouted: "Stop!" ”

Hearing this, everyone quickly lowered their arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yanzhao wanted to learn from some training methods in the later army. While everyone was resting, he summoned Cao Jian and Liu Jiwu to his side. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats-ups, etc. were explained and demonstrated to them in detail. The two had never seen this kind of action before, so they were surprised and asked, "These movements are indeed novel, but what is the magic of not doing it?" ”

"Let's start with push-ups, which require the whole body to be straight, and the shoulders, waist, hips, and knees must be in a straight line. Bend your arms and lower your body. The upper arm should be flattened at approximately right angles to the lower arm. The chest is about a punch off the ground. This method exercises the strength of the arms, back, waist and abdomen. “

Then there are sit-ups, lying on your back on the ground, lying your whole body flat, and then holding your head in your hands and rolling up your upper body with waist and abdominal strength. Touch your knees with your elbows. Do not leave your heels off the ground while sitting up. After touching the knee with the elbow, return to the supine position, this is one. This method focuses on waist and abdominal strength. In the future, fighting with the enemy in close combat on the battlefield and wielding the sword is the main use of waist and abdomen strength. Borrow the strength of the waist and abdomen to slash to be more powerful. “

"Let's talk about squats and stand-ups. Start upright with your feet together. Then put your hands behind your back, then bend your legs and squat. When squatting, the angle between the upper and lower legs must be less than the right angle, and stand up quickly after squatting. Return to erection for one. This method focuses on calf strength. Li Yanzhao stood up and explained, and at the same time did a few real things, thinking that it was a demonstration.

Although Cao Jian and Liu Jiwu did not understand some of the words spoken by Li Yanzhao. However, Li Yanzhao personally demonstrated a few, and they also saw it in their eyes, and they had already memorized the essentials of each action.

Li Yanzhao got up and told them: "In the future, every day when you get up early, before feeding the horses, let everyone do these three actions a hundred times. Then feed the horses. After feeding the horses, go to training. In the future, he practiced bowing and arrows in the morning, and in the afternoon, he practiced slashing with a knife and stabbing with a gun. Every day, slashing and stabbing each other had to be done a thousand times.

Horses are then fed in the afternoon. After dinner, do the three movements of the morning 100 times each. Li Yanzhao even wanted everyone to add weight-bearing off-road. However, it is difficult to find heavy objects at this time. If you have iron armor, it's good. However, the arsenal was not distributed to them. After thinking about it, forget it. Let's make a plan in a few days.

As for whether his subordinates would complain about hardship and tiredness, Li Yanzhao also thought about it. Yet he still believed in his vision. When I first selected these ten people, I decided that they were all hard-working people. In the military, suffering and tiredness are almost inevitable.

Li Yanzhao counted the famous armies in history, all of which were mighty soldiers who were loyal, brave, good at fighting, and endured hardships. As for the Qin army that swept through Liuhe when he heard the battle. In later generations, the Song Dynasty lone army went on the Northern Expedition, "freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering." The Yue family army, and the Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty who was drenched in heavy rain for a day but did not move...... However, thinking of this, he still felt that he needed to give everyone a vaccination.

So Li Yanzhao walked in front of the people who were still resting on the side, looked around at everyone, and then slowly said to everyone: "Everyone follow me, I have been feeding horses and practicing all the time. It is very gratifying to see that everyone has done their work well and practiced so hard. It's really hard work, everyone! ”

Li Yanzhao stopped saying and bowed to everyone. Everyone saw Li Yanzhao like this, but they were all flattered. Even the things within the way, don't dare, don't dare.

Li Yanzhao waved his hand. But the conversation changed sharply, and he continued to say leisurely: "Everyone feeds the horses and exercises, it is very hard. I'm very pleased to see everyone's progress. However, I plan to increase the amount of training for everyone in the future. ”

When everyone heard this, they were amazed. However, Li Yanzhao said to himself: "Although everyone is hard, I know that there is a saying, which is called 'sweat more on weekdays, and less blood in battle.'" 'The harder you train on weekdays, the more skilled you are in martial arts, and the greater the chance you have to kill thieves and save yourself. “

"When you practice martial arts, you practice the ability to kill thieves! It's not for the sake of the public, but for your own sake! You are skilled in martial arts, and if you can kill a thief, a thief will not be able to kill you. You will survive on the battlefield, and the thief will die! This advice, I hope that everyone will practice carefully, and he will fight every day to kill thieves and defend his homeland! After that, they can also be disarmed and returned to the field, and their relatives can be reunited. “

"I hope that everyone can understand this, that they can withstand these hard exercises, and that I am willing to share the joys and sorrows with everyone. On the battlefield in the future, we will build meritorious deeds together! ”

The more Li Yanzhao spoke, the more excited he became. When everyone heard his words, their faces flashed with strange looks.

"Shi Chang, I'm not afraid of hardship. I only hope that my parents, wives and children can live a happy life, eat well, and no longer have to suffer from the persecution of Hu Gou, not to mention hard work. Even if we donate this life, what regrets do we have! Li Yanzhao raised his eyes, but it was Zhang Xing from Chen Cang who spoke.

"That's right! I now think of our village, young and old, and when the Hu people came, they were all reluctant to leave, so I and a few other families fled to the mountains for refuge. Who would have thought...... Who would have thought that it would be just a day's separation, but when he came back, he would ......" Han Wencan thought of that tragic scene, and his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't say it anymore.

Wang Qiang on the side also wiped his tears and sighed.

"This blood debt, I will lead you to collect it one day!" Li Yanzhao said generously: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but get excited, and they raised their arms and shouted: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ”

Li Yanzhao finally let go of his heart. Everyone is so united, and the military spirit is available.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, according to what Li Yanzhao said, the amount of training had increased a lot, but everyone was happy to accept it, and no one complained of being tired.

In their hearts, they all have a simple and simple belief: practice martial arts well and defend the country and the country. So that their relatives can live a happy life with enough food and clothing, so that they will no longer be oppressed and slaughtered by Hu Dogs!
