"Eh, you've heard that there is a handicap in the camp led by Kangda, and you want to bet on the top three of this recruit competition, and I heard that many brothers have rushed to sign up now. ”

Suddenly, a voice not far behind Zhang Han attracted his attention, and his footsteps towards the camp slowly stopped.

"You know? I went over in the morning and made a bet of twenty taels of silver. Another voice came.

Zhang Han looked sideways slightly, and saw that several soldiers from the camp next door were squatting in front of the camp gate and chatting.

"Which team you're betting on?" asked a soldier with a monkey-jawed jaw.

"Nonsense, of course it's on us, who else can we?" replied his companion.

After a long groan, the companion asked with some surprise, "Are you going to take another team?"

"Uh......" The monkey-tipped man was slightly stunned, and then said: "I plan to go to the team led by Wang Chengtuan, and everyone knows that there are a few ruthless people in his camp, and the probability of winning is much greater." ”

"Ruthless, there are a few ruthless people under Zhang Tuan, why don't you see you go to his team?"

"Pull it down! Who can do the dozen or so people under his command? The other regiments are all 100-strong full formation teams, and they can stabilize his regimental rate in terms of numbers. The monkey-tipped man said with disdain on his face.

"Uh..... This is also true, but this regimental rate is also self-inflicted, obviously able to recruit enough manpower, but he has to talk about the righteousness, who has not been a soldier in this year for money, it is really hypocritical enough. ”

Listening to his companion's words, the monkey-sharp man also had a hint of disdain on his face and said, "Wait! This time the recruit competition is enough for him Zhang Han, and then we will see who dares to go to his camp to do things." ”

"Hehe....."

Hearing this, Zhang Han no longer had the slightest interest in the next words, pursed his lips and smiled faintly, and secretly said to himself: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the bird."

Taking another step back to the camp, Zhang Han looked at Zhao Feng and the others, thinking that if these people were bullied miserably above the recruit competition, they wouldn't know if they could bear it.

.......

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and with the official arrival of the new recruits, this Panyang City is obviously much more lively.

Although it was still early at this time, there were still many people moving around in the city, and the sound of selling and shouting continued to reach the ears of Zhang Han and others, which was also the most lively time he felt after coming to this Panyang City.

Coming to the square in the city, they lined up and stood up, Zhang Han and the others quietly waited for the start of Dabi.

Around the square, a lot of stands were built, and at this time, the stands were also densely packed with people sitting in a circle, even if the big competition was still the beginning, but the atmosphere of the scene was already very hot.

Zhao Feng, Li Changqing and others even saw a lot of people from their own village appearing around the square, but they couldn't go over to say hello because they needed to keep the queue.

This recruit competition is actually just a celebration organized by Hu Kang to celebrate his promotion, but the dark curtain that spread out made many of Hu Kang's regiments full of energy, and almost everyone regarded this competition as an opportunity to improve their careers.

Because of this, the team of more than 900 people dressed neatly and went to a station in the square, don't you say, it really looks a little majestic and high-spirited.

Of course, this highlights the weakness of Zhang Han's department in these teams.

From a distance, the dozen or so people who were so lonely could not be compared with the huge queue next to them, which also attracted the fingers of many onlookers.

However, for all this, Zhang Han just watched his nose and nose, and turned a deaf ear to it.

If he can be low-key, he will be low-key, and now he still needs a lot of time to strengthen his power, and even Zhang Han is still thinking about going back soon, Zhao Feng and the others have not started today's military martial arts training.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

The horn sounded, Hu Kang and others appeared neatly dressed in the middle of the square stands, in front of him, there was a middle-aged man in a red robe, and Hu Kang was following closely behind with a flattering face.

I saw that this man was also wearing a soldier uniform of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with golden combat boots on his feet, a sword in his left hand, and a dark gold helmet with exquisite patterns around his waist in his right hand.

"General Lei, please take a seat!" Hu Kangmei smiled and gestured.

With the appearance of Hu Kang and his entourage, the people who were talking in the audience also quieted down, Zhang Han could clearly hear Hu Kang's words, and he was slightly surprised in his heart.

He didn't expect Hu Kang to hold a recruit competition, and he even invited his top boss, Lei Longshan, the fifth person in the Southwest Anti-Yi Army, to invite him, it seems that Hu Kang is quite confident in this recruit competition.

After the two of them took their seats, there were bursts of discussion around again, although the image of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the hearts of the people was not very good, but this Thunder Dragon Mountain was famous in this area.

That was what happened a few years ago, when a 10,000-strong Yiren army went deep into the hinterland of the Great Zhou for more than 300 miles, along the way, killing the southwest border army to lose their armor, burn and plunder more than a dozen villages, until Leilongshan heard about this, personally led 5,000 cavalry, frontally broke the invading Yiren army, and crushed all the way to the territory of the Yiren, killing more than 20,000 enemies.

Lei Longshan became famous in this battle, and was officially promoted to one of the five tiger generals in the southwest by Han Yucheng, the general commander-in-chief of the Southwest Anti-Yi Army.

Sitting on the stands, Lei Longshan's body was straight, his hands were flat on his knees, and a strong military momentum surrounded him.

I saw him glance at Hu Kang, who was sitting on the side, and said expressionlessly: "Let's start!"

That Hu Kang also knew the character of this General Lei, and there was no nonsense, so he glanced at a few soldiers in the distance, and there were bursts of rapid drums in the field.

At the same time, the more than 900 soldiers lined up in the square also quickly changed their formation, forming a huge phalanx of spears, and rehearsing the spear thrust with the rhythm of the roaring drums.

"Drink, drink!" The neat cheers of more than 900 people immediately resounded with the surrounding drums, and a kind of vast majesty swept through the audience, winning the cries of the people around the audience.

This is the usual process of the Great Zhou Dynasty recruits, before the big competition begins, all the participating troops have to collectively rehearse the Great Zhou Dynasty gun array.

Under the scorching sun, nearly 1,000 spears reflected the dazzling light, picking up, stabbing flat, and sweeping, the guns were like dragons, and the queue was neatly aligned, which made people feel a sense of pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this is not without its surprises.

I saw that Lei Longshan, who was sitting in the stands, suddenly frowned, and his eyes converged on a force that was obviously missing a corner of the phalanx.

He said to Hu Kang with a displeased face: "This is the recruit competition you have to let me watch?"

Hu Kang listened to Lei Longshan's question, and his heart also chuckled.

Looking along the line of sight of Lei Long Mountain, I saw that in the direction where a piece was missing in the upper right corner of the gun array, more than a dozen people were practicing marksmanship with the gun array.

Unlike the other regiments, this unit was not only sparsely numbered, but the spears that danced were even weaker, and it was obviously out of place compared to the imposing phalanx next to them.

The most annoying thing is that this army is unfamiliar with marksmanship, the height of the spear stabbed out is uneven, the length is different, and even Hu Kang saw one of the great sweaters almost lost the spear in his hand, and then looked at the leading soldier, Hu Kang instantly felt angry.

MD, do you still watch others practice? Don't you know how to do this marksmanship?

It is true that this is true, this set of marksmanship of the Great Zhou Dynasty Zhang Han has studied, but it is useless compared to the combat skills inherited by the great powers, and he did not take it to heart after that.

At this time, when he was about to practice, he found that he really couldn't play this set of marksmanship, so he had to tilt his head and watch the troops next to him practice.

The clumsy drill process of Zhang Han and others also fell into the eyes of the surrounding people, and for a while, the noise and sighs rang out.

"Shame on you!" said an old man from the same village as Zhao Feng with an angry face.

I wanted to see how beautiful the children who went out in my village were now, but I didn't expect to see such a scene, and the more the old man looked at it, the more angry he became, and he almost walked away.

With such clumsy marksmanship, could this group of soldiers never practice it in normal times? Many people around thought in their hearts that in such a crowd, this face would be lost.

There are even many people who silently sweat for this group of people in their hearts.

"Hmph!" Sitting on the high platform, Hu Kang's face was pale, and his eyes were fierce.

If you can't let me finish, I'll make you unable to play. Thinking of this, Hu Kang stretched out his hand to summon a personal soldier and whispered a few words to him.

I saw that the pro-soldier was startled at first, and then his eyes were full of schadenfreude, and he turned around and ran out quickly.

Looking back, Hu Kang looked at Lei Longshan, who also looked ugly, and said: "General Lei, I'm sorry, they made a mistake, this group of soldiers is from my battalion, and I don't know how to get to the field, and I ask the general to punish me." ”

Listening to Hu Kang's explanation, Lei Longshan's face didn't show much expression, and he said with a straight face: "You'd better give me an explanation." ”

"Yes, yes, definitely, when the big competition is over, the last general will definitely find out about this matter and give General Lei a satisfactory answer. Hu Kang said stiffly.

The collective drill of the pikes did not last long, and after a set of marksmanship, the soldiers retreated to the edge of the square under the leadership of their respective regiments, leaving a field for the competition.

A day ago, Zhang Han and the other groups had already decided their opponents in the first battle by drawing lots, and the rules of the whole game were also very simple, mainly divided into three rounds.

In the first round, ten troops, two by two, will face off to determine the top five.

In the second round, the team will continue to face each other in pairs, but the team will have a bye and go directly to the top three.

In the third round, the top three teams will compete in a scuffle, and the victorious team will be the first, and the remaining two teams will continue to decide the second and third places.

However, the rules of the tournament were changed at the very end of the tournament.
