Even in Gu Yuanda's eyes at this time, Su Jinyao is still a young, handsome, and heroic little woman.

But the perseverance and confidence in her eyes will make people feel that she is exuding an incomparable light around her, which can illuminate everyone here.

The significance of the event

Gu Yuanda has been on the battlefield for decades, and he thinks that he still has an eye for people. The little woman in front of her is not only extravagant, but also has a unique and tenacious connotation. Whoever has such a heart will achieve great things.

Gu Yuanda looked down at the drawings in his hand again, and involuntarily nodded vigorously: "Yes, Second Miss, the old minister will send someone to do it." ”

There are so many people in this barracks, why is it difficult to ask someone to dig a big pit quickly? What's so hard about nailing a few boards eight feet wide? Time is not an issue, more people can solve all problems.

Su Jinyao raised her eyebrows, feeling that Gu Yuanda seemed to be enlightened. She nodded at Gu Yuanda in encouragement.

Then Su Jinyao took two steps forward and announced to the nearly forty people who were ready to compete with her: "Let's have a comprehensive competition, seven items combined into one, from the start to the end." Some people start to fall behind, and the strengths behind will catch up, and this is the characteristic of the comprehensive game. The top three finishers who reach the finish line first will be considered the final winner and will be rewarded generously. Of course, this is only for those of you who are challenged. As for me and Commander Ge, the results of the two of us are not with everyone's rankings, we only decide the winner. May I? ”

Su Jinyao's meaning is not to let these participants compete with each other and compete for a ranking. And she, as long as she can beat Ge Fei.

Of course, there was no objection from the crowd. Su Jinyao has already automatically chosen the disadvantage, what face do they have to fight with her.

Besides, this incident was originally caused by Ge Fei, and Su Jinyao was able to defeat Ge Fei, which meant that the ultimate goal was achieved.

Everyone had no objections, and Su Jinyao began to announce the content of the seven competitions.

The first is long-distance running, which starts in circles around the entire school field. It doesn't matter how many laps you run, everyone has to keep up, and those who are left behind lose the first stage of the race and have to quit.

It was necessary to run until Gu Yuanda and the others had built all the competition facilities that Su Jinyao had said before, and then they started the second item.

The second is freehand climbing, which is to climb a two-foot high wooden wall and climb over it. Of course, there will be some assists in climbing on the board, perhaps a few iron buttons, or a knotted rope hanging from above, or a few cracks in the board.

But no matter what kind of help is used, it is on a first-come, first-served basis, and those who arrive late are not allowed to scramble or attack others, but can only wait below.

The third item is to cross the ladder, and the test is arm strength. Ask both hands to take turns grasping the wooden ladder across the shelf and move quickly from one side to the other. The number of wooden ladders is limited, and those who arrive first pass first, and those who come behind can only wait. The person who does not have enough arm strength to fall off the ladder is counted as a game.

The fourth is equestrian. Eight unsaddled horses were prepared, and they were required to ride around the school yard and grab the hats that were placed on the ground. Equestrian training is usually done, but doing it without a saddle is a great test for everyone.

Those who fall off the horse, or who cannot bend over to pick up the hat on the ground during the horse's march, are out. Of course, you can ride slowly, but if you deliberately delay the time of the race, it will affect the people behind you.

The fifth item is over the quagmire, which is the seemingly simplest one. But after walking through the quagmire, not to mention the wasted physical strength

-

, I have to climb up from a one-person-high quagmire, and I have to carry a body of mud for the next two items, which suddenly increases a lot of difficulty.

The sixth item turned out to be the back person. After passing through the quagmire, choose any companion and carry them to fifty paces away.

The seven items are considered to be Su Jinyao's strengths, that is, they put the companion who came over on their back on the ground and do simple wound treatment.

Su Jinyao also emphasized: "The last two items are prepared for the rescue of comrades in wartime. You charge and kill the enemy, and you must not forget your comrades-in-arms who fought bloodily. When someone needs help, I hope that everyone can give your comrades a life of hope, carry them to a relatively safe place, and do a simple bandaging treatment. ”

Su Jinyao bent down and pulled out a dagger from the barrel of her boot and cut off a few hems of her clothes. Then he said, "I'm going to show you the process of dressing it properly." It's not just the last game that you have to learn, I want everyone to be able to see the process and remember it. In the future, if you can save one more person on the battlefield, then you will have one more brother who lives and dies together. Got it? ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao pulled A-Ning and demonstrated twice on her body with the strip of cloth in her hand, explaining while demonstrating.

Everyone, including the seven fighters selected by Ge Fei to prepare for the competition, as well as those who could not participate in the competition, involuntarily moved their steps forward, carefully watching the bandaging movements of Su Jinyao's men.

It can be said that they have already recognized Su Jinyao's words in their hearts. They all understand the importance of the hope of survival for every warrior, they hope that they are not the one left behind, and they also hope that they can save one more brother.

After the demonstration, Su Jinyao stood up and let out a sigh. Looking at the soldiers who had automatically and consciously gathered around her to study hard, she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if there are still people who can't learn, or want to learn more, you can come to me to continue studying." I want to be your friend, comrade-in-arms, and teacher. ”

Gu Shangqing, who had been standing on the periphery, was stunned, because he saw Su Jinyao's relieved smile. He understood that Su Jinyao at that moment was radiant and became a fairy in everyone's hearts.

"Alright. With a quarter of an hour to prepare, we're ready to start the race. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she clapped her hands at Gu Shangqing and said, "Brother, remember to cheer me up." Also, remember to judge fairly. ”

Gu Shangqing nodded heavily, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, and his chest was even more enthusiastic.

As a man, he couldn't wait to join in it and compete with these people. Not for victory, but for being able to have one more teammate to fight side by side.

Su Jinyao pulled A-Ning over, and the two went to the small tent next to them to sort out their clothes. It is understandable for them to do this, after all, they are women, and it is not convenient to compete in skirts.

However, it didn't make everyone wait for a long time, Su Jinyao would be here soon.

She braided her ponytail so that her hair would not interfere with her vision. A strip of red cloth to symbolize victory was also tied on his forehead, also to prevent sweat from dripping into his eyes.

Su Jinyao also tightened her chest, making her originally bumpy figure more light and neat. and wrapped high leggings and wrist guards, looking sassy and heroic.

Let's go! That's cohesion

Everything was ready to stop, and Su Jinyao and A Ning came directly to the middle of the forty people. Since they were going to compete together, they didn't have any preferential treatment like everyone else.

Su Jinyao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Soldiers, our brothers of the Gu Family Army, on the battlefield, you only rely on your own strength and fists. Only those who can persevere to the end with courage and perseverance are the real winners. The knives and swords in your hands will wear out, your horses will be injured or even killed, and your companions around you may fall one by one, and it is all hope that you will survive on the most brutal battlefield. Therefore, I am now the same as you, a person who needs to fight to the end with tenacious will and physical strength. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao looked at Gu Shangqing, smiled at him with confidence, and moved her eyes to the small flag in his hand.

The flag is red, triangular, not very large but a very dazzling color, and it stands out on the school field near dusk.

A gust of wind blew, and the small red flag held high by Gu Xuebin hunted in the wind. There was a sudden silence all around, except for the sound of the flag waving, and even the horse's breathing seemed to be low.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the flag, as if the small flag was holding up the victory and hope of everyone.

Gu Shangqing also took a deep breath and felt how solemn the flag in his hand was. This is no longer just a game, this has become the expectation of the soldiers of the Gu family army to win.

As the flag in Gu Shangqing's hand fell suddenly, Su Jinyao shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned. The voice in my ears is so crisp, but full of momentum and confidence.

After Su Jinyao also shouted, she ran with courage.

Ah Ning was slightly stunned, and rushed out after Su Jinyao. The competition without internal force and light work, it seems that she hasn't tried it for a long time.

When she was a child, she was faced with the first choice between life and death. She has to outrun to get a number, otherwise she will have to die.

A-Ning looked at Su Jinyao, who was running one step ahead of her, as if she felt that she was the one who showed her the way. Give yourself the confidence to make it to the end again.

Nearly 40 people ran around the school yard, running round by circle. Someone at the head, someone behind, sometimes you have to master the rhythm, sometimes you have to speed up to run in order to drop your opponent.

It's a race, the same endurance race as a marathon, but those who are left behind by the whole team will be eliminated, and this is the iron rule, just like the military rules that everyone agrees on.

Su Jinyao knew that running like this would consume her physical strength, but the choice she gave herself was like this, and she never refused to admit defeat.

"Master, let's not be left behind." Ah Ning kept up with Su Jinyao, no longer because she was a shadow guard, she could only follow behind Su Jinyao, but was a little forward a little more than Su Jinyao. This can maximize the resistance of Su Jinyao to block the wind.

Su Jinyao smiled and sped up a step, ran side by side with A Ning, and said, "That's right, as long as we don't fall behind, we won't be eliminated." However, if you can't run without internal force, don't expect me to pull you. ”

Aning smiled. When she only had one number, she never smiled. After she called "A-Ning", there would be some smiles, but only the corners of her mouth were curved.

But like now

-

In this way, it was the first time that she laughed from the bottom of her heart. After laughing, Aning felt that he was really full of strength.

"Master, I won't end up in the end. But if you can't run, I won't pull you. Speaking of this, A-Ning paused and said, "I will hold on to the end for you and tell them that women can win." ”

"Good. You make it to the top three, and I'll give you the grand prize. Sending you a freedom. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she patted A-Ning on the shoulder.

The two women seemed petite but not effeminate among everyone, and their smiles made people even look away.

The few people who soaked around them involuntarily dodged some distance so that they didn't feel too crowded, and at the same time, the people in front of them would also get a little closer, which could form a barrier and isolate the resistance.

Su Jinyao looked at the people around her who were intentionally or unintentionally protecting them, and said with a smile: "Did you find it?" This is friendship, cohesion. A-Ning, don't talk anymore, save your strength, we have to hold on to the end together. ”

Gu Shangqing looked at them, and every time Su Jinyao finished running a lap, his heart became even more anxious.

When Su Jinyao and the others ran to the seventh lap, he couldn't help but run towards the soldiers who were still digging pits and building wooden frames, and said loudly: "You have to move faster, all of them can't stop until you have completed all your work to continue the next race, and the length of their competition has a lot to do with you." ”

For every quarter of an hour of slowness, the people on the field have to run several more laps. If you continue like this, everyone will consume a huge amount of physical strength. So, how will the next game be completed?

Some soldiers have already rolled up their sleeves to join in to help. nail planks, erect ladders; Digging pits, transporting soil, constantly carrying water, stirring mud. Then a big pit, the amount of mud needed is amazing.

When Su Jinyao and the others ran to the nineteenth lap, the wooden shelves were all erected, and there were still people doing the final fixing and inspection.

Huge earthen pits also began to be filled with mud. Gu Shangqing asked someone to dilute the mud as much as possible, so as not to consume physical strength if it was too thick.

And if the mud is too sticky, it will be difficult to get up after a fall, and if you are trampled on or choked by a companion, it can be fatal.

Gu Yuanda glanced at the sweaty people who continued to run on the school field, and called a dozen strong soldiers to guard the edge of the pit with a bamboo pole each.

If you find someone who is physically exhausted and falls into the mud, immediately stretch out a bamboo pole to help that person up to avoid real danger.

Finally, when Su Jinyao and the others ran to the twenty-fifth lap, all the instruments marked on the drawings were prepared and checked for safety.

But at this time, two people had already fallen to the end, running weakly, and their steps were staggering.

It is simply torture to keep running in circles with perseverance without relying on internal forces at all.

It's not just about race endurance, it's about pushing your mental limits.

If you turn too many times, you will have a period of psychological boredom, and in severe cases, headaches and dizziness will occur.

Therefore, the two people who are lagging behind may not only be physically exhausted, but also may not be able to hold on for so long and repeat the same monotonous action.

A woman's trust and friendship

Su Jinyao hopes that all people can persevere to the end. It's not about ranking, it's about the willpower to be able to overcome yourself.

But obviously, the rules of the competition will eventually lead to elimination, and the last two people gradually distanced themselves from everyone. Before the second item began, he sat down on the ground.

Someone ran over, helped the two people up, and slowly walked to the side.

Su Jinyao and A Ning could only glance back and continue to move forward.

"Jinyao, let's get ready to start the second item." Gu Shangqing shouted at Su Jinyao, and then said: "Listen, the people of the race, after running this lap, the second race will begin." There is no time to take a break in between, and if you can't do it continuously, you have to quit. ”

Su Jinyao gave Gu Shangqing a thumbs up, indicating that she had no problem at all.

A-Ning thought about it, and gave a thumbs up to Gu Shangqing in the same way.

Others, who followed suit, and those who persevered until the end of the first item already felt that victory was in sight.

However, the second item is clearly not as simple as everyone expected.

The two-zhang high wooden plank wall was erected there, which was no more than the height of a high wall for those who knew martial arts. But now it is completely forbidden to use internal force and light work, and you can only climb it with your bare hands.

Climbing with the help of the simplest and most primitive iron buttons, knots, or gaps in wooden planks requires arm strength, waist strength, leg strength and good body coordination. And with the slightest negligence, as long as it falls from above, it will be eliminated.

Su Jinyao and A Ning were not in the front, they were in the middle and back positions, and they obviously couldn't immediately occupy a favorable position.

And those who arrive first can choose the position to climb, and those who arrive later have to wait, and the location is not the best.

The man in the first position grabbed the knot and climbed up, and after flipping over the plank, hesitated for a moment before jumping down.

The second one to climb up was to step on the irregular iron buttons, and barely climbed up with strong arm strength.

The other two attempted to climb by grabbing the small gap between the planks. Run-up, high jump, swoop against the wooden wall, but slide down because the foothold is too small. Failed, quit.

It seems that when there is no good position, it is almost impossible to climb up by relying on your own brute strength, and the proportion of failures is also very high.

The people behind don't want to be eliminated after running more than 20 laps because of a plank wall, so they can only obediently wait for the people in front to climb up, grab the knot or iron button to go up, and can also take the opportunity to rest for a while.

But in this way, the gap between the front and back will also widen, and if you continue to wait like this, let alone the ranking, you may soon be eliminated.

When it came to Su Jinyao and A Ning, the two of them either waited or climbed in an unassisted position on both sides of the plank wall, risking the risk of sliding down.
