Chapter 36: Weapons
Wang Bo arranged the training time to be full according to the military training in the 21 st century, getting up at 5:30 every morning to tidy up the housework, gathering at 6 o'clock, then running 5 kilometers with weights, and then standing in military posture and queue training.
At 8 o'clock, there are 300 exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc. This was followed by a 400-meter obstacle course and a frog jump.
At 10 o'clock, a group of ten people carried 500 pounds of logs for training. This was followed by a two-person 200-pound log training.
At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the anti-sun body training is carried out: holding a spear flat, hanging a brick with a rope on the muzzle, and drying motionless for 2 hours.
At four o'clock, he jumped backwards 1.5 meters high and slammed his back into the sand for an hour. This is followed by exercises such as military posture and queues.
Dinner at half past six, half an hour after dinner, continue to run 5 kilometers with weights. After that, it was a military posture and a parade exercise.
During this period, some people said that if they continued to train like this, they would be exhausted to death because of this set of strict and harsh training, and some even discussed in private, everyone gave up, although the cake painted by Wang Bo was very large, but they had to live until that time.
But on the second day of training, no one dared to stand up and resist, and the matter was over.
Because everyone didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, besides, even Wang Bo, the chief officer, trained with them every day, set an example, and even ate and drank the same, so why couldn't he hold on to himself as a big soldier.
Besides, during the training, there is not only rice and meat to eat, but also free bedding and clothes to distribute, and there are also rich rewards, every day the top ten soldiers can get a thick reward of one or two to one penny of silver, Wang Bo also said, at the end of the training, regardless of whether the competition wins or loses, everyone will be given an additional month's salary, and if the competition is won, each person can also get a reward of ten taels of silver
Normally, these ordinary soldiers are paid one or two or five dollars a month, but if they work hard and win the final victory, they will be rewarded more than a year's salary for this training alone, and they can also be promoted and become a petty officer. This is a real promotion and fortune, and whoever doesn't want to do it is a fool.
Originally, the soldiers still felt that their bodies could not stand it, and their whole bodies were sore and painful, but as time went by, everyone's bodies gradually adapted to this kind of high-intensity training, and they found that in fact, these trainings were not afraid, the feeling of soreness and pain in the whole body was gone, and the muscles of the whole body were getting stronger and stronger, and their spirits became more and more full.
This huge change made the soldiers surprised and excited, and looked at Wang Bo with more and more admiration, and of course, awe.
Nowadays, everyone eats and wears well every day, as long as they do their best to fight for silver rewards, so the morale of these 100 people is getting higher and higher, and they are more and more hopeful for the upcoming competition.
In the afternoon of this day, after the training of military posture and queue, everyone was waiting for Wang Bo, who was standing in front, to announce his disbandment and go to dinner.
Wang Bo glanced at everyone one by one, and said slowly: "Everyone has trained hard in the past twenty days, and there are still ten days before the day of the competition, so we will not do any more physical training in the future, and I will teach you some combat training." ”
Everyone was relieved to hear that they finally didn't have to run, do push-ups, sit-ups, and squat with a large overweight log and other exercises that they had never heard of.
Because the further these trainings go, the more intense the training becomes, tidying up the housekeeping every morning, then training, eating, sleeping, and repeating the next day. The most terrible thing is that at night, from time to time, they are suddenly ordered to assemble urgently, so that everyone is trained to be like a wooden man, and they are so tired that they have no time to think about anything else.
Only at the end of the training every night, I heard the list of rewards for the first place in housekeeping and the top ten in the day's training, and the silver that could be seen on the spot for the rewards to be distributed, which could cause a short period of excitement among everyone, and the rest of the time everyone was full of only orders and training.
Wang Bo looked at all the soldiers' expressions and said coldly: "What? You all think it's time to breathe a sigh of relief? Don't! Wei Yuanqiang! ”
"Here!"
Wei Yuanqiang returned to the team after being stunned for three days, but because of that challenge, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Wang Bo, thinking that he was just a momentary underestimate and negligence, so he suffered a dark loss. And the other party also put down the words, and he is always welcome to challenge.
He was not convinced, so he naturally wanted to find a way back. In the past 20 days, he tried his best to train every day, and he also tried to challenge again during the period, but there was no way, the other party was too strong, and every time he just shot, he was beaten out without knowing what was going on, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
If it was like a few times, he was already convinced, and after that, he was both afraid and admired by Wang Bo, and no matter what the other party told him to do, he didn't dare to hesitate at all.
"Get out of the line!"
Wei Yuanqiang trotted out and stood up and saluted.
Wang Bo was satisfied, and to deal with this kind of thorn, he had to rely on his ability to subdue him.
"You go and get all the new weapons out of the storehouse."
Wei Yuanqiang left in response.
In a short time, several carriages came to the field.
When everyone saw the weapon, they were all stunned, this weapon was very simple, it was just some knives, spears, round shields, and some strange gauntlets, but the spears were longer than usual, and the shields were larger in size.
Wang Bo said: "Everyone is very confused, right? Because Lord Zhongtang said that this competition should be an ordinary military war, and foreign guns and cannons are not allowed, so this time one hundred against three hundred still has a good chance of winning. ”
The soldiers were excited when they heard this, and after some training, everyone could clearly feel that they had become very strong, and according to the previous experience of fighting with the inscription battalion, they were almost the same as them, and maybe in the end they could really win more with less, and everyone felt that they were full of confidence that they had never had before, and their morale was very high.
"Xu Kunda, Kong Liangdong, out of the ranks!"
The two trotted out in response, saluted a military salute, and said in unison: "Here!" ”
"Take with your respective bands, thirty shields, thirty spears, and thirty swords."
Now these 100 people are temporarily divided into three teams, Xu Kunda and Kong Liangdong each led 30 people, divided into 62 people, and the remaining 38 people were led by Wang Bo himself.
Next, Wang Bo carefully introduced to them how to wear handguards, how to use shields to wield and block, and then how to hold spears to stab, and then announced the disbandment, let everyone take their weapons away, no need to train tonight, try to be familiar with the weapons in hand, and start formal training tomorrow.
