In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just bright, and there was a touch of fish belly white in the east, Zhao Fan, who was still sleeping in the No. 3 barracks, got up from the collapse early, he had been promoted to the rank of pawn, and he could have lived in a room alone, but he didn't, and still lived in the barracks.

Everyone was still asleep at the moment, he glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, got up and walked out of the barracks.

The air outside was extremely fresh, and a smell of earth mixed with dew came to Zhao Fan, making him feel comfortable physically and mentally, and the little sleepiness left in his brain completely disappeared, and his brain was extremely clear.

He walked slowly around the ten barracks, and saw that almost everyone had not gotten up yet, and people in the Warring States period had two meals and did not eat breakfast, perhaps because of this, so they got up relatively late.

"Crunch."

Zhao Fan walked to the door of the No. 7 barracks, pushed the door in, Li Mu slept in this room, he woke up the former, and ordered: "Call all the soldiers in your barracks and assemble in the open space." ”

Li Mu's eyes were hazy, and he wanted to say something more, but the former had already pushed the door and left, and immediately had to get up from the couch.

Zhao Fan did the same, he went to each barracks, woke up one of the soldiers who had come to Cloudsdale with him, and then the former called everyone in the barracks.

After a while, there was a slight sound of complaining in the ten barracks, these voices were naturally made by those recruits yesterday, when they were other soldiers, where did they need to get up so early? And those soldiers who came to Cloud City with Zhao Fan had great respect for the former, so naturally they would not have any complaints.

Although the recruits were a little reluctant, seeing that these veterans got up silently, they naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately got up from the couch, put on their armor, and walked out of the barracks.

Zhao Fan was already standing in the clearing, he glanced at the soldiers who came out of the barracks, his face was calm, and he did not speak.

When those recruits saw that Zhao Fan was already waiting in the open space, the dissatisfied look on their faces immediately restrained slightly, and they quickly found the Shiwu they belonged to on the open space, according to the barracks where they lived, and stood there obediently.

This is what Zhao Fan stipulated last night, the number of recruits and veterans is about the same, and there is no need to select them one by one and place them in each one. In other words, depending on the number of barracks you live in, you will be arranged to go as much as you want.

The soldiers who lived in Barracks No. 3 were the soldiers of Sanshi.

Zhao Fan stood at the forefront, and he knew at a glance the number of people at the bottom of the ten tiths. On the clearing, there were ten tithes, and each tithe was ten, and only three tithes were nine, making a total of ninety-nine.

Fifty-three recruits who joined yesterday, and the hunter soldiers who came to Cloud City with Zhao Fan, a total of forty-three people, plus Li Mu, Zhang Zhi and Wang Hu, a total of ninety-nine people, originally one hundred, Xu Jia was injured, so he did not come, but still recuperated in the county guard's mansion.

"Wu Qi said that soldiers often die what they can't do, and it is inconvenient to defeat them. Everyone understands the meaning, that is, soldiers who live because they have no ability to die, and military skills are not skilled and fail. So the law of war. The first is training. ”

Zhao Fan looked around at everyone, he made a bold move, and directly cut to the topic: "You have joined the Nine Pawns, and you must obey the orders of my pawn commander." From today onwards, in addition to practicing the things that must be practiced every day like the other pawns, I will also give you some additional training. ”

The voice landed, the soldiers below, but also quite quiet, increased training is arranged by many captains and even brigade commanders, in the non-war period, soldiers still have more free time, so many generals will use this time to arrange training for soldiers.

Although these recruits are young, they are not stupid, everyone knows the importance of training, and every point of their strength naturally means that they are on the battlefield, and the chances of survival are one point greater.

Therefore, everyone didn't say anything at the moment, but looked at Zhao Fan and listened to his words.

Seeing this, Zhao Fan also nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Whether it is cavalry or infantry, the requirements for physical strength and endurance are very high, this is the minimum requirement, everyone understands, I don't need to say more." ”

He looked up at the sky, the sky had not yet risen, and the sky was a little dark, but the air in the early morning at this time was very fresh, "Okay, in order to exercise our physical strength and endurance, below, everyone will put a stone on my back and run five laps around the barracks." ”

Zhao Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to a stone mountain piled up in an inconspicuous corner of the clearing. The big square stones suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

These stones, he had been looking for a long time in Cloud City yesterday, and he had found more than a hundred of them, which were more convenient for carrying.

Those recruits were shocked, their faces changed suddenly, although they entered the barracks not long ago, but it did not prevent them from understanding the entire barracks, this barracks that accommodated thousands or even tens of thousands of people, a circle down at least two or three miles, five circles is more than ten miles, and they also have to carry such a big stone, this, everyone looked at each other, and their faces were difficult.

At this time, Zhao Fan had already walked in front of the stone mountain, tied a stone weighing about more than ten catties to his back with a rope, and he roared loudly: "Let's go." ”

After saying that, he didn't look at the soldiers, and took the lead in jogging towards the outside of the camp.

Seeing this, the veterans were stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, they didn't say a word, learned from Zhao Fan, carried the stone on their backs, followed Zhao Fan's steps, and chased after them.

The rest of the recruits stayed where they were, at this moment, Zhao Fan and those veterans had left, and the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these recruits had also faded a lot.

Immediately, everyone consciously stepped forward and followed with the stones, plus Zhao Fan, a total of 100 people, stepping on neat steps, all the way forward.

The soldiers guarding the camp saw a group of people carrying stones coming towards the outside of the camp, and were about to ask, but at a glance they saw Zhao Fan at the front, and after a short period of surprise, they also opened the fence, didn't ask, and let them go directly.

After the story of Zhao Fan's defeat of the Hu people spread, many soldiers in the barracks knew him, and these soldiers guarding the camp also knew that Zhao Fan was already the commander of the nine pawns, and looking at the appearance of these soldiers, they were also training, so they didn't ask much.

Although activities such as weight-bearing running are not uncommon in the training of other pawns, like Zhao Fan, as a pawn commander, he can also train with soldiers, but he has never appeared.

At the moment, these soldiers guarding the camp also focused their eyes on Zhao Fan, with a trace of respect in their eyes.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you regard a pawn as a baby, you can go to the depths with it, and you can treat a pawn as a beloved son, so you can die with it. Thick but can't be made, love can't be ordered, chaos can't be cured, such as arrogance, can't be used.

Treat the soldiers like babies with all kinds of care, and the soldiers can go through the tribulation with the generals; Treat the soldiers as caringly and lovingly as their sons, and the soldiers can live and coexist with the generals. If you treat the soldiers well and do not use them, if you love them without restraining them by decree, and if you break the law and discipline and do not punish them, then the soldiers will be like proud children, and they will not be able to use them in battle.

Zhao Fan naturally knew this, so while strictly demanding the soldiers, he also set an example, only in this way would he win the respect of the soldiers from the bottom of his heart, otherwise, relying on his own silver power alone, although he could make them submit, but at the same time, it would also make the soldiers resentful.

The entire military camp is oval-shaped, with a circumference of more than two miles, and according to the meters of later generations, it is about one thousand meters, which is equivalent to Zhao Fan's alma mater in his previous life, half of Peking University is as long, and five circles

Down, it is more than ten miles, two and a half north circumference.

Carrying ten pounds of rocks on his back and running five or six thousand meters is basically an impossible task for ordinary people. However, this is in the barracks, and the requirements of the soldiers are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

During the war, at every turn, you can advance for miles, dozens of miles, and if you don't have good physical strength and endurance, where can you keep up. Especially when marching in a hurry, the speed and endurance of the soldiers are more demanding.

In this kind of long-distance running, a person's physical fitness and willpower are especially studied. These recruits, all of whom are extremely tall and strong, are a little struggling to run the first three laps, but they are still enough to persevere.

By the fourth circle, gradually people began to fall behind, and these people, without exception, were all new recruits who had just entered the camp. On the other hand, those veterans who were born as hunters, in terms of physical fitness alone, may not be as good as those recruits, but their steps are extremely steady, closely following Zhao Fan in front.

These people have long been in the barracks, and in order to survive, they run in the jungle all year round, catching prey. In terms of willpower, it is undoubtedly much stronger than these teenagers, so in the fourth round, when everyone's physical strength is almost consumed, they can continue to persevere with willpower.

In Zhao Fan's previous life, he was just a weak scholar, God let him come to the Warring States, and did not treat him lightly, but gave him a strong body, which is a great capital for Zhao Fan in this era.

With the strength of his body and the indomitable spirit of his previous life, Zhao Fan ran steadily in front of the team, even if his legs became heavier and heavier, he was gritting his teeth and insisting, as the head of a pawn, he was the soul of the nine pawns, would he let himself break the rules he set?

The team was still running towards the front, although the speed had slowed down a lot, but Zhao Fan, as the commander of the pawn, was still running, and no one among the other soldiers would give up.

Time passed slowly, the colorful glow of the east spread, gradually dispelling the darkness, and after a few cups of tea, a round of red finally rose on the horizon, and then the golden light was shining and sprinkled all over the bodies of the nine soldiers.

Bathed in the morning light, they felt that the fatigue of their bodies seemed to be swept away, and their steps quickened, and as the sound of the soldiers in the barracks getting up began to sound, the soldiers of the Nine Pawns, led by Zhao Fan, finally arrived at the gate of the barracks for the fifth time.
