"Now I'm going to give you orders to run fifty-seven laps around this playground, and you have some tips and tricks to remember when you run, don't overdraw your strength too quickly at the beginning, but you must also keep running as if it looks like you're running, and keep running when you seem very tired in the middle of the run, and do your best to complete this run of about twenty miles in total, understand?"

Hearing Zhang Fan say this, there seemed to be some discussion among the 1,000 or so young officers and soldiers who were training in rotation this time, but when some people began to realize Zhang Fan's voice, this kind of discussion seemed to be bottlenecked. Zhang Fan also seemed to suddenly remember something, and his status seemed to be a little too big. For ordinary newcomers, rather than people who have been by their side for a long time, this status advantage is enough to make many people who are not usually very simple dare not slack off. Therefore, Zhang Fan had to add, "Of course, there is no reward or punishment for this run, and it will not have any impact on you." After all, the current new dynasty does not need any elites who can fight habitually, and it is not necessary to run to perform ordinary garrison tasks... ”

After saying that, Zhang Fan rode away from the playground, which was obviously a hint that he would leave a long way away, and leave it to someone else to be responsible. It seems that the person who came to take charge was also a young man who looked similar to himself and seemed to be younger, and he didn't seem to have enough confidence to speak in public.

In such a situation, many people already feel that it doesn't matter. Therefore, it is also a great deal of relief. Many people talk and laugh with each other while running. Others, after running for a while, look more like normal walking. Of course, there are many people who still run hard, and it seems that they are also very struggling in the later stage, at least they can be sweaty. In this way, the differentiation of the crowd gradually arises.

There wasn't much time, and some people who had a good physical foundation before ran the entire playground for more than 57 laps and 20 miles ahead of schedule. It's just that more and more people quit the army when they followed, and many people are not very keen on the concept of numbers, so they often don't know how many laps they have run without asking for advice, especially when it is a difficult whole number like fifty-seven. There are also many people who seem to be very smart, trying to get as close to the inside as possible and ask for a more effortless distance when they are very tired.

The distance of more than 20 miles is a long distance even for teenagers who often do similar activities in ordinary schools, and for people who rarely do similar projects before, some people spend more than half an hour to complete these distances. It's just that after that, the effect of the big waves and sand was finally manifested, and about forty-five of the 1,000 people persevered until the vast majority of them had finished running, and they seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and almost all of them seemed to be unable to stand up decently anymore after being asked to stop, but vomited and fell to the ground, and some even fell unconscious.

"Hey, Iron Bull, why are you doing this?"

"The Lord said, this is not an important test... ”

When this was over, the people who could not stand up were carried out of the playground with the help of the helpers, and a second group began to come in again. There are about ten waves of people throughout the day, from morning to evening. Tens of thousands of people were screened in the rotation runs.

Although the average soldier was quite tired from such a running test, the rest of the day seemed to be very free, and there were no battalion instructors to manage it. In this way, the whole two places took turns to accept this kind of seemingly loose military camp life, which lasted for about a month or so.

In the case of some requirements but lack of management, there are finally some people who seem to be very "axial" or even "simple" in quality stand out in this situation, and there seem to be more than Zhang Fan expected, who can not relax at all when running, and do their best with their will and tenacity. In a normal life, without developing discipline and habits and without much management, he can consciously sit according to the requirements, and rarely participate in playing cards, gambling or other types of activities, and there are more than 730 people who seem to be obviously introverted.

Zhang Fan can be sure that these 20,000 people themselves have also been selected a lot. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, ordinary adult males in Higashihara Kyushu would never have this awareness.

In order to carry out the final round of tests, Zhang Fan conducted another rough test.

"Your performance is indeed outstanding among people, and to a large extent it shows that you are simple and obedient people, and can take requests seriously. However, simple and obedient words can withstand the temptation of loose life to a large extent, but it does not necessarily mean that they are also outstanding in terms of courage. You followed me to the side of the single-plank bridge above the urn city formed by these two walls, and I think many people can think of it when they come here, have you seen it below? About twenty zhang below this single-plank bridge, there is a sharp knife array, but this sharp knife array is not on solid ground, but on a unique buffer net. This thirty-foot deep buffer net will allow you to avoid death in the first place, but it will only make you suffer for a few more hours below. In other words, if they fall, they will be subjected to a test like capital punishment. I'm not too strong for anyone to do it, and if anyone is scared, they can leave now. And I promise that those who opt out now will not be penalized and will still stay with me. Next, you will pass on this bridge one by one according to the numbered squad and the serial number, from small to large... ”

I have to say that such a test is still very big for ordinary people. Even if Zhang Fan had an unusual experience back then, he could confirm that if he didn't have some unique opportunities and unique abilities, he would probably not be able to pass such a test at all.

It's just that Zhang Fan is a little surprised that the courage of these selected personnel seems to have obviously exceeded his expectations, although many people look very timid when they walk on the single-plank bridge, and they can't do it like flat ground, but even the first few timid people don't seem to have any problems walking over. There are also a few people who seem to be able to walk across the single-plank bridge completely undisturbed in this situation. But when an accident happened, a person with a poor psychological quality forced through, accidentally fell into the abyss of a black hole that seemed to have just been excavated in the urn city, and then it seemed that he could faintly hear a series of screams. Such a scene finally began to give people a lot of shakes. As a result, the proportion of people who continue to cross the single-plank bridge is not as large as it was at the beginning. From time to time, someone falls into the black abyss. There are also many people who are ashamed to quit when they see such a situation. at

However, in the end, what made Zhang Fan a little unexpected was that in the face of such a test, more than 700 people still had more than 560 recruits who could pass the test.

However, in this way, the range of the most core team around Zhang Fan can also be determined. When these people, who were completely different from the ordinary people of Dongyuan Kyushu in this era, were selected, the next training became much smoother.

Because the times have changed a lot, and the tasks of these people are different from those of ordinary soldiers in this era, Zhang Fan did not immediately let them receive training in the queue after the selection. Instead, training in crossbow shooting was carried out from the very beginning, especially when it was used to fire in concert with cylinder gas crossbows in special locations.

Regarding some things, Zhang Fan did not shy away from saying, "Although it is said that the martial artists on the rivers and lakes are either confined to some special places or have disappeared, I don't doubt that you may still face this or that test in the future." For example, once again faced with the situation that those who have a certain foundation in martial arts attacked the palace and broke into the camp. You know that in those days, there were hundreds of people. Even an army of 100,000 cylinder gas crossbows that were waiting for the battle might not be able to resist those people on the flat ground. Even if you have a unique defensive advantage and even a lot of improved towers, it is simply impossible to deal with those people effectively. There has been a great deal of progress in the current cylinder gas crossbow fixed defenses, especially in terms of projection speed and power, but if you want to deal with enemy soldiers who are not significantly weaker in defense with a scale of only a few hundred or so, you still need to conduct intensive archery training that is not too short. It's just that compared to the past, there is finally enough money for archery training in this area, and in the next year or so, each of you will have at least 400,000 opportunities to shoot live on average to strengthen the training level to the point where you subconsciously have a very high level. However, in order to improve your comprehension, you will also need to master certain cognitive abilities and numerical concepts during the training period, especially at the beginning ... Got it?"

"Got it... ”

In this way, when these more than 500 people were arranged to the four newly built fortresses near the Tower Palace, under the effective command and coordination of Zhang Fan, they launched a salvo test against many targets thrown by trebuchets.

It's just that it didn't take long for Zhang Fan to discover some of these problems, and the target thrown by the trebuchet was obviously not able to completely simulate the real sense of the attacking master, and there was no doubt that there was a big difference between the two. After a moment of weighing, Zhang Fan began to decide to use his real super-first-class skills as some kind of target to test. Zhang Fan was also able to judge through his previous training that at least with the current level of these people, they could not pose any threat to themselves at all.

Of course, such a request made many of the selected team leaders feel embarrassed: "Lord... Is this going to work?"

Zhang Fan smiled: "Do you think I will be the kind of person who will come nonsense now? Unless all of you are hidden masters in this area, and there is a special arrow Gu to assist, it will not have any effect on my own comfort at all... ”

It should be said that after at least thousands of organized salvos accumulated over many days, the quality of the more than 500 shooters has reached the level of entry. When effectively controlled, about half a burnt of incense, that is, one forty-eighth of an hour, can complete 300 salvos and shoot 150,000 javelin-like arrows. If it is aimed at ordinary cannon fodder cold weapon troops, there is no doubt that even if you encounter two or three hundred thousand elite cavalry or large armies, you will be defeated by these five hundred cylinder gas crossbow shooters who have just entered the cylinder gas depot within the threatening distance, and when these five hundred shooters shoot at themselves. Like flying locusts, the swarms of spears that come from all sides can always cover a fairly wide distance in front of them. It's just that in front of the keen Zhang Fan, this kind of pincer attack doesn't seem to bring a real threat. The dense attacks that would make you panic in the eyes of ordinary mortals actually have a lot of loopholes, and they can easily be dodged in the gaps that cover the attacks.

"Stop, you obviously can't do that. The coverage is a bit bigger. I'm a super first-class expert, so you think I should cover a little wider, but in fact, if that kind of opponent comes, I'll be responsible for it myself. You're more likely to target some second- or third-rate opponents, and the opponent won't have the same space to dodge in the air as I did when jumping and flying in the air, so the spear nets in all directions should be denser, understand?"

"Got it... ”

In this way, when Zhang Fan continued to fly through the air according to a fixed line, the group of locust-like spears attacking in multiple directions seemed to be significantly denser. But there is no doubt that for Zhang Fan himself, it is obviously easy to dodge a lot. In order not to give people the wrong habits and feelings, Zhang Fan still controlled his mobility at a level roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary second-level master, but he still had a good level of detail dodging ability when covered by a group of spears. In this way, although the coverage rate is not very high, there is still a high probability that Zhang Fan will be covered when he skips in a fixed direction.

It's just that when Zhang Fan changed direction, and the distance from each shooting formation seemed to be obviously different, even if he skipped the level of a second-rate master, the hit rate seemed to be greatly reduced.
