In the spring of 1020 A.D., the sun was shining, spring returned to the earth, everything recovered, and flowers were gorgeous.

After nearly a year of preparations, the preparation for the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Field Army has also entered the last moment, the weapons workshop has begun to produce various standard equipment, and the participating people have basically rushed to the capital to prepare to participate in the selection.

In terms of armament, after many considerations, Zhao Huifu finally determined that the melee soldiers were equipped with a one-meter-high wedge-shaped shield, with a V-shaped notch on the top and a V-shaped tip on the bottom, and multiple shields could form a tight shield array. Coupled with a three-meter Tieli wood spear, it can form a gun formation, similar to a European pikeman, and the head of the spear imitates the prismatic bayonet of later generations, with huge destructive power. The most important thing is that this Tieli wood is available in the border of Henan, which is convenient for obtaining materials. In addition, each fighter was also equipped with a Tang knife to facilitate melee.

The individual long-range weapons are mainly 10 crossbows, with an effective range of about 100 steps and 40 arrows; 5 rounds of divine arm crossbow, equipped with an aiming device, a range of 200 steps, 20 special arrows, with a certain armor-piercing ability. The Great Song longbow has a range of 300 steps and can use a variety of arrows.

There are two kinds of heavy weapons, one is a multi-functional three-bow bed crossbow, which has its own wheels and can rotate freely, can be towed by livestock, and can fire a single giant arrow or 10 thin arrows, with a certain burst of ability, but the frequency is not high. By changing parts, it can also be turned into a small trebuchet. The second type of heavy weapon is the large trebuchet, known as the general cannon, with an effective range of 800 paces. The key point is that the three-bow bed crossbow can reach up to 1500 steps when fired alone, and the range is quite amazing.

The cavalry is equipped with 30 repeating crossbows, and there are more arrows, which can store hundreds of arrows at once to enhance the ability to sustain combat, but the range is relatively poor, and the melee weapon is a long-handled saber.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned standard equipment that the new army has extremely strong long-range output capabilities, and at the same time, it also has high requirements for the number of arrows and logistics. In order to meet the needs, Zhao Yingfu specially built a large number of water turbine units in the weapons workshop, which operate day and night, and can produce nearly 10,000 arrows per day, which was unimaginable before. The small arrows have been operated by the assembly line, and the output has increased greatly, which also gives Zhao the confidence to use long-range weapons.

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang only drove a grass boat to deceive 100,000 arrows in order to do a fight in Chibi, in other words, in this short confrontation, Cao Cao's army shot out hundreds of thousands of arrows, which shows that the consumption of arrows was very huge in ancient wars.

With all the troops and armor, Zhao benefited from the formation of the army. The treatment given in this conscription was generous, and there was also the promise of the crown prince, there were no worries, and the number of applicants increased dramatically. Most of them are enthusiastic teenagers who are not satisfied with mediocrity, and because the announcement has an age limit, the inappropriate ones are not included. The quality of the soldiers in this conscription is relatively high.

Zhao Yingfu came to the temporary station to recruit troops, and there were no less than 100,000 people under the high stage, and everyone under the leadership of the officer gave Zhao Yingfu a salute in style, shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

"All the strong men are flat, this prince has formed a new army by the emperor's order, aiming to resist the barbarian invasion, protect the family and defend the country, and restore the peace of the people. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and all of you can stand here today, you are all good men of my Great Song Dynasty. However, this prince still has some ugly things to say in front, and this recruitment only recruits 25,000 people, each according to his ability. The rest of the original intention to stay will go to the reserve, but the military salary will be halved, and there is no need to go to the battlefield, and they will be responsible for training in peacetime, and they can be transferred to the official new army in the future. If you don't want to stay, the prince will also offer you a coil and send you home. Finally, thank you again for being able to stand up for the country, you are all good. "In ancient times, there was no microphone, and Zhao Yingying's words couldn't be spread so far, and the guards were all loud one after another, which made him very unhappy, and he had to stop and wait for the transmission to finish, the scene was really funny.

"Next, the selection will officially begin, and you will show your magic skills across the sea with the eight immortals! Everyone should pay attention to the following types of conscriptions in this conscription, infantry, archers, crossbowmen, cavalry, and baggage soldiers. In addition, those who are literate and skilled in martial arts stay, and others will follow the corresponding officers to participate in the assessment! This prince wishes you all success! After Zhao Yingfu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone went to their respective examination rooms to take the exam under the leadership of the officer.

A group of people, lined up in a chaotic line, slowly moved towards their respective goals, and each examiner also began to assess according to Zhao Yingying's instructions.

In fact, the conditions for Zhao Ying's selection are not difficult, mainly because of the test of body, courage, brain, etc.

The test subjects of the infantry pay more attention to courage and body, after all, infantry are all close combat, rushing to the front line, and it is easy to have flaws if you don't have courage. The young men in the examination room are standing between two pre-set bed crossbows, they must face the oncoming giant crossbow arrows, in order to prevent accidents, they are all fixed to a wooden stake, the examiner has to judge their courage according to their reaction, and give a certain score. In addition to courage, the physical test is relatively simple, divided into weightlifting, weight-bearing running, jumping, etc. Finally, a comprehensive score is calculated according to the score of each subject, and admission is made in order according to the score, reflecting fairness and justice.

Archers and crossbowmen are assessed in much the same way as infantry, except that eye and arm strength are tested on the basis of infantry. The cavalry added a balance test to this base. In general, the infantry is the foundation of the same group, and the assessment is also the most basic, and other arms also have an assessment of the specialties of each branch on the basis of infantry.

When the crowd dispersed, there were about a thousand people left in the same place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are literate and hyphenated, please stand on the right side of the prince, those who are proficient in martial arts stand on the left, and those who take care of both sides stand in the middle." Zhao Ying looked at the rest of the people and commanded excitedly.

At this time, the number of people was small, and after a while, everyone stood in line. Zhao Yingfu took a look and found that there are really few readers in this era, and even more people who can write from Rong, more than 100,000 people, there are more than 100,000 people. There are only a handful of people who can stand in the middle, and the remaining nearly 900 people are all from the green forest.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, this prince made a special trip to leave you, it is of great use. Lieutenant generals of the new army set up a staff department to be responsible for operational command. Those of you standing on the right have to work hard, these positions are your goal, and in the future, you will not only have to participate in military training, but you will also have to be personally taught combat knowledge by Prince Ben and many famous generals. You can have faith! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, I will never give up!" These people couldn't read anymore, or they felt that the country was weak and wanted to join the army, but they didn't think that the prince valued them so much, and a thought of the death of a proud and a confidant rose from their hearts.

"Very good, someone is coming, take them down to arrange." After Zhao Ying finished arranging the scholars, he said to the rest of the people: "This prince has another purpose for recruiting heroes and heroes, your strength lies in solo combat or assassination, etc., it would be a pity to let you be ordinary soldiers." So Prince Ben wants to use you to form a special force, the main task of this force is to spy on enemy intelligence, assassinate enemy generals, and even go deep behind enemy lines to disrupt enemy deployments. It can be said that this is a force that performs special tasks without support and no way out, and it will also be the last backing of my Great Song Dynasty, which directly belongs to the emperor's pro-army and is not subject to other restraints. After listening to the words of this king, I wonder if you still have the courage to join this army? Can you be worthy of the trust of my Great Song? Can my emperor trust you? ”

Zhao Yingfu looked at everyone's expressions, and was worried in his heart, afraid that his words would scare them away, but for the sake of future consideration, they still need to be voluntary, so he continued: "If you feel that you can't do it, it's still too late to launch it now, and this prince will not be reluctant." Give everyone a quarter of an hour to think, and after a quarter of an hour, the prince will still be there, and the prince will be your promise, all heroes are righteous people, and I believe you will not go back on your word! ”

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yingying returned and was very relieved to see that there were still many people who had not left. According to a rough estimate, there are about 800 people left.

"Heroes, since you have chosen to stay, this prince hopes that you can show your talents here and create immortal feats. I don't hesitate to commend you, and the knighthood and money are waiting for you, depending on your performance. "If you want to employ people, it all depends on ideals or something, and status, money, reputation, and rights are the best catalysts.

"Next, everyone will undergo a one-year training, and those who do not meet the standards will be eliminated, and the eliminated ones will be arranged separately. In the end, only the strongest hundred people were left to form my Great Song Royal Divine Dragon Special Forces, and they will be the sharpest blades of my Great Song Dynasty, invincible. Prince Ben believes that you all want to be strong, and this will be your best stage, so take advantage of it! ”

Most of the people who practice martial arts have a fighting spirit, there is no first, there is no second, and every martial artist wants to compete for the crown. Zhao Yingfu gave an elimination rate of nearly eight to one, which stimulated the ambition of these young warriors, and one by one secretly decided to work hard and get ahead.

Zhao Yingying looked at the group of red-eyed people below, was very satisfied, and continued: "Although you have high skills, the unit has further improved everyone's ability, and this prince specially invited two immortal masters. They will be your future instructors, responsible for training you, let us all warmly welcome the two seniors together! Zhao Yingying took the lead in applauding, and everyone below applauded in the same way, although everyone didn't know what kind of etiquette this was, but it was definitely right to follow the prince.

Two men and women in their prime came together, like a light gong like flowing water, floating over everyone's heads, straight to the high platform, and walked to Zhao Yingyi with fists and saluted.

"The two of you have worked hard, this prince is so polite!" Zhao Yingfu bowed and returned the salute.

"This prince would like to introduce to you, these two couples are the famous 'boxing king' Jin Tai and the 'fairy sister' Li Canghai. The names of the two of them, the crown prince, will not be described in detail, I believe you are all familiar with them. The two of them will train you in the future, do you have any objections? ”

"No ......," the crowd shouted excitedly. That scene, it was quite enthusiastic, just like the fans of later generations seeing idols, it was terrifying.

For those who practice martial arts, these two heavyweights are their super idols, a lifelong pursuit. At this moment, I was told that I was trained by a super idol, and I was so excited that I couldn't express it, and I said that I didn't come in vain this time.
