Chapter 54: Elite Soldiers

Toyoshu, heavy snowfall, snow on the ground, the whole of Toyoshu is covered in snow.

On the school ground, 20,000 soldiers gathered together, one by one, the military formations were neat, and the group was like a purge of rectification.

After two months of hard training, the soldiers are no longer what they used to be, and now they have a fierce and sharp body, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

"Not bad!" Li Longji rode on the body of the Night Lion King, looked at the military formation, and was greatly satisfied.

In two months, it is very rare to be able to train recruits like this.

"It's just that there is still a lack of murderous aura. Well, it's not something that can be trained on the training ground, you have to go to the battlefield and fight. Li Longji knows very well that this army is not yet elite, because only an army that has been tested on the battlefield is a truly excellent army, and it is the real elite.

Although this army is well trained, it has never been on the battlefield, and it has nothing to do with the word elite.

"Brethren, after two months of hard training, you have grown a lot and your spirit has grown! Much more fierce! It's much sharper, too! That's a good thing! Li Longji reprimanded loudly and said, "This king is very satisfied!" ”

"Huh!" The soldiers burst into laughter and rejoiced.

Li Longji has a very high status in the hearts of the soldiers, and it is a great joy for the soldiers to be able to get Li Longji's praise and satisfaction.

"This king wants to choose a thousand men to be my guards, are you willing?" Li Longji asked loudly with a smile on his face.

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Who wouldn't want to become Li Longji's bodyguard? If the soldiers are not happy, they will not be able to do it.

"Thank you, brothers." Li Longji clasped his fists and saluted, and then changed his words and said: "However, not everyone can be the king's guard, and they must be strictly screened, and then the time to test you has come." ”

"May I ask King Chu, how will you test it?" Some soldiers couldn't help it, and asked busily, with a look of anticipation.

These words are exactly what the soldiers are thinking in their hearts, all of them are staring at Li Longji with round eyes, prick up their ears and listen quietly, for fear of missing a word.

Li Longji, as Wu Zetian's own grandson, came to Fengzhou regardless of his safety, which in itself is enough to convince people. Not to mention, Li Longji also relieved the siege of Fengzhou and gave Fengzhou a big victory. What's more, Li Longji does not have the frame of an emperor's grandson, he is very easy-going and kind, which makes the soldiers feel good, if he can become his guard, what an honor!

It's enough to glorify the ancestors!

"You can't wait, can you?" Li Longji asked.

"Huh." The soldier burst out of laughter, which was an answer.

"That's good. and this king will make it happen to you. Li Longji's voice suddenly turned high, and he said, "Run for me!" ”

"Run? King Chu, how long to run? A soldier asked.

"Run until the king is satisfied." Li Longji's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can't run to my satisfaction, you are not worthy of being my guard!" ”

"Good! It must satisfy the King of Chu! "The soldiers are very excited, can they stump people by running? In the past two months, they have not traveled ten miles and eight miles on a single day.

Li Longji gave an order, and the soldiers began to run.

They thought it was very simple, where did they think of it, Li Longji gave them a big problem, tired thousands of people, Li Longji had no intention of stopping; Tired of 10,000 people, Li Longji had no intention of stopping; Tired of 15,000 people, Li Longji had no intention of stopping.

"King Chu, why don't you stop?" The soldiers couldn't help it.

"This king is not satisfied." Li Longji's answer was enough to make people angry.

20,000 people are tired and 15,000 people are tired, and you are not satisfied, what is satisfied?

It wasn't until there were only 3,000 people left that Li Longji called a halt.

"You guys, you can move on to the second level." Li Longji announced on the spot, surprising these 3,000 people and making other people regret.

"You've got a cup of tea ready to go." Li Longji immediately announced, "The next level is riding, I wish you good luck." ”

"Riding? It's very simple, but do you still need to take the test? ”

"That's right. Who of us doesn't know how to ride a horse? ”

"I can't ride a horse, but I still deserve to be a Tang man?"

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and the riding technique is too simple.

However, when they came with their horses, they were directly dumbfounded.

I saw that on the school field, there were dense obstacles, not counting, and there were many fire rings.

"From here, I rode a horse and ran over, and there were no injuries, and there was no one who fell off the horse, so I passed the test." Li Longji announced loudly.

"This ...... Do you want people to live? "Although the soldiers thought that they were good at riding, it was too difficult to ride a horse from here.

"The king's guards are all elite soldiers, and they must have excellent riding skills." Li Longji said coldly: "If you go to the battlefield, the situation you encounter may be even more sinister than this. You can't even get through this, and you don't deserve to be the king's guard! ”

"Okay, let's run." The soldiers gritted their teeth and rode on horseback.

People keep falling off their horses and regretting being out. In this level, a thousand people were brushed down, and only two thousand people remained.

"The third level, open the bow and shoot the arrow." Li Longji immediately announced the test.

Shooting a bow and archery is a necessary skill of the Tang people, and the soldiers are very happy, where do you think that Li Longji gave them a hard bow with one stone and five stones, which is much harsher than a hard bow with one stone when selecting soldiers.

If it had been at the beginning, it would have stumped many people, but for today's soldiers, killing five birds with one stone is nothing, and it can be improvised.

However, this is not the real test, the real test is that the target is moving. Someone uses a rope to lead the target to move quickly, and all of them must be on the target to be qualified.

In the past two months, the target of the soldiers' archery has been fixed and has not moved, and they are dumbfounded on the spot.

"On the battlefield, the Turks are alive and can run, if you can't shoot this target, you are not worthy of being my guard." Li Longji said ruthlessly.

This level eliminated 500 people, and only 1,500 people remained.

"The fourth level, knife technique." Li Longji announced again.

"Knife technique? It's all right, I'll take care of this guard. ”

"That's right. In the past two months, we have worked hard to practice the knife technique, whether it is splitting wooden stakes or chopping, there is no problem. Hehe. ”

When the soldiers heard about the test of swordsmanship, they were completely relieved.

However, when the test began, they were dumbfounded again.

What Li Longji gave them was not a wooden stake, nor did he ask them to cut it, but a three-foot-long cloth for each person, which was thrown in the air and then cut off with a knife.

The cloth was very soft, and when it was thrown in the air and cut with a knife, the difficulty suddenly increased a lot, and the soldiers were stunned.

At this level, another 300 people were eliminated, and only 1,200 people remained.

"Congratulations, the best 1,000 are my guards, and the remaining 200 are substitutes." Li Longji announced.

"Long live the King of Chu!" They were invigorated and cheered in unison.

In the end, a thousand of the top 1,000 comprehensive scores were selected as guards, and the two hundred substitutes were also happy. Although he didn't officially become Li Longji's bodyguard, this opportunity was still in existence, and the substitutes couldn't help but be happy.

"Tonight, you can rest for the night, and tomorrow will start training." Li Longji threw down a sentence and rode away.

"You're going to train tomorrow? I will work hard and never let the King of Chu down. ”

"That's right! Grit your teeth and get through. ”

"We've been training for two months and it's not a thing to train anymore."

The soldiers were so excited that tomorrow's training was not a big deal.

The next morning, Li Longji gathered the 1,000 people together for training.

"You're all here, good!" Li Longji was different from usual today, he didn't wear a helmet and armor, but wore a precious fox fur, and his face was flushed, as if it was very hot.

"The first thing is to strip off and strip the king!" Li Longji ordered loudly.

"What? Stripping? ”

"Impossible, right? Stripping off on such a cold day, do you want people to live? ”

The soldiers vigorously objected.

"King Chu, what are you going to do? Could it be you......" Someone thought a little crookedly.

"Don't you look like you, like an old bark, this king will be interested in you? Phew! Li Longji's face sank and he smacked fiercely.

"King Chu, it's very cold this day, and you will freeze if you take off your clothes." Someone cautiously reminded.

"No, huh? Well, you don't have to be the king's bodyguard. Li Longji's eyes sparkled.

"Take it off! Take off! Can't you take it off? The soldiers gritted their teeth and had to strip naked, except for a pair of small obscene trousers.

"Kids, wash up." Zhang Xiaofei was so excited that he raised his throat and snorted, and a team of soldiers carrying buckets stepped forward, and the water in the buckets splashed over the group of soldiers.

"What are you doing?"

"Why did you splash water?"

In the shouting of this group of soldiers, they were all splashed with soup chickens, and the screams rang out.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! A sound of inhaling cool air sounded, and everyone hugged their bodies tightly and couldn't stop shaking.

"Train, let's go!" Zhang Xiaofei roared and announced that their hellish life had begun.

This group of soldiers wanted not to move, the horsewhip in Zhang Xiaofei's hand was pulled off the head and brain, and the skin and flesh were rotten when it was pumped on the body, he was really ruthless, and he showed no mercy, this group of soldiers was afraid, so they had to train honestly.

At first, they were very cold, shivering from the cold, but after training for a while, they were not cold, and the training was much easier.

After training, everyone was sweating hot, and their throats were smoking.

"I'm dying of thirst! I really want to drink water. ”

"Not only do I want to drink water, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"That's right, I'm thirsty and hungry, I really want to eat and drink."

The soldiers shouted.

At this moment, I saw the human spirit Gao Lishi bringing people to carry the Hu cake and put it on the ground.

"Hu Cake? Okay, well, I like to eat Hu Biscuit the most, the King of Chu really loves soldiers like a son, we are hungry, he will give us Hu Biscuits. ”

"Hu cake is fragrant and crispy, it's my favorite food."

The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they looked at the cakes, and their saliva flowed out.

"The king knows that you are hungry, and he invites you to eat bread." Li Longji slowly opened his mouth and said, "In order to make you eat well, this king has put some ingredients in the kitchen, so enjoy it." ”

"King Xie Chu!" The soldiers cheered in unison, Li Longji was too understanding.

The corners of Gao Lishi's mouth twitched, and he looked at these shouting soldiers with pity, and led people to divide the cakes, one for each person.

"Hey, why is this cake so cold and hard?"

"It's like a rock."

The soldiers received the cakes and talked about it.

"King Chu, isn't Hu Cake like this? The cakes are fragrant and crispy, and there is minced meat, why didn't I see minced meat? Someone couldn't help it and hurriedly asked.

"This king said that it was a cake, and it was a cake." Li Longji said arrogantly and unreasonably.

"Eat." Someone still wanted to speak, Zhang Xiaofei shouted loudly: "If you don't want to eat, you can just get out." ”

The whip in his hand couldn't stop splitting, and it made a crisp sound.

The soldiers remembered this horsewhip vividly, and they beat him a lot, but they didn't dare to disobey it, and they put the cake into their mouths and bit it, and a cry of bitterness sounded.

"It's so hard! Almost broke my teeth. ”

"It's so cold, can you eat this?"

"My teeth." Someone screamed and spat out a grain of sand from his mouth.
