During the intense training, the ten days passed quickly, and during this time, the soldiers still missed the previous 20 days of weight-bearing running and other training subjects.

I used to think that those so-called physical training were tortured enough to make life worse than death, but these ten days of combat skills training made everyone deeply imprint the feeling that life is worse than death.

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the sea and the sky are blue, and it is the day of the agreed competition. Li Hongzhang sat in the center of the viewing platform on the field of the Huai Army barracks, flanked by civil and military officials of the Huai faction, as well as foreign officers from Germany.

A month ago, the news of Wang Bo and Liu Sheng'an's 100-man battle against 300 people had already spread throughout the Huai Army, so groups of soldiers gathered around the periphery of the school grounds, in fact, everyone was not optimistic about the 100 people of the Renzi Battalion led by Wang Bo, but this did not affect the mood of everyone watching the excitement.

Moreover, about this military camp competition, there have been people on the periphery of the gambling stalls a long time ago, if you buy the Renzi camp to win, the odds are quite high, and the odds of buying the Mingzi camp are very low. However, everyone believes that buying the inscription battalion is a sure profit and not a loss, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is obviously not a level, and almost everyone buys the inscription battalion to win.

The whole school field was very quiet, although the surrounding soldiers were talking, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, but the adults in the middle hall were sitting in front, and they could only whisper to each other.

On the viewing platform, an official stepped forward and bowed and asked, "My lord, is it okay to start?" ”

Li Hongzhang didn't have any expression on his face, nodded slightly, and the official bowed down.

In fact, in the past month, Li Hongzhang has been letting people observe Wang Bo's every move, and when he heard the information from the following report, he was amazed by Wang Bo's novel training methods, which is very different from the German officer training. Jianhe. How do nations train their troops?

Although he didn't understand whether this method was useful or not, he became more and more interested in Wang Bo, and slowly had some expectations for this competition.

He knew in his heart what the combat effectiveness of the Renzi Battalion and the Mingzi Battalion was, and he just wanted to see if Wang Bo could really defeat the three hundred elites of the Mingzi Battalion with one hundred people from the Renzi Battalion in just one month of training.

The whole school scene is positive and wide, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops of the Huai army, and in the silence, I suddenly heard a sound of neat footsteps coming in from the left.

But I saw a small phalanx of 10 people in a horizontal team and a small phalanx of 10 people in a column slowly walking into the school field. Uniform and neat military uniforms and paces, orderly separation distances between front and back, left and right, no matter the horizontal column is always consistent, except for the footsteps of the march, there is no other noise in the team.

After a while, this small phalanx had already reached the left end of the school field, and Wang Bo next to him shouted the password: "Stand!" ”

A hundred people made the finishing action of stepping forward in unison, leaning on their feet, with a "snap", unified and loud, all standing quietly in place with their heads held high, like mountains, solemn and solemn, standing still.

Li Hongzhang and other officials on the viewing platform, as well as German officers, as well as the soldiers who gathered around the school yard to watch the excitement, were all stunned. The whole school field fell silent all of a sudden, except for the sound of the wind blowing the flag and hunting, there was no other sound, and it was quietly silent.

The Huai officers and soldiers in the audience were dumbfounded, this ...... Is this a soldier transferred from the Renzi battalion? This is several times more powerful than the new-style strong army that I saw a month ago that had been taught and trained by foreign officers!

What surprised everyone even more was that the costumes and weapons of more than 100 people were very strange, the spears were longer than the average ones, the round shield was also very large, and they also wore a helmet that almost covered the entire head on their heads, and they also wore thick armor on their shoulders, what kind of equipment is this?

The German officers were also shocked, amazed by the well-organized ranks, and even more surprised by the familiar weapons and equipment they saw, although some of the equipment on these soldiers was different from what they remembered, but it was still the same as the whole.

Wang Bo in the field could feel the surprise of everyone in the audience, and he could also feel the pride and pride of the hundred soldiers next to him, and he could also feel the majestic momentum of their morale at the moment, which was exactly what he needed.

He looked up at the stand, saw the officers from Germany whispering, knew that the Germans had guessed it, and thought, "Scared, right?" That's right! This is exactly the equipment and phalanx of the ancient Greek Spartans! ”

To tell the truth, Wang Bo doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about the arrangement of troops, because he has seen the movie of the three hundred warriors of Sparta in the real world, and the bloody and ruthless killing scene makes him very profound, and he feels that it is very suitable to use this defensive phalanx against the three hundred elites of the inscription battalion, both sides are infantry battles, and it is an encounter in the plain, and the number of the other party is three times larger, so he thought of borrowing this kind of phalanx for the time being.

The soldiers in the front row held their shields in front of their chests and formed the walls with their bodies and shields, and the soldiers in the back rows stretched their spears out of the gaps in the front row of shield walls. There is no need for superfluous movements in this formation, just to maintain the formation forward. Because of the relationship between the spears in the depths, the enemy does not dare to approach easily, and if they do, they can only be killed.

However, this kind of phalanx is very strict with the queue formation, and it is also a formation suitable for stubborn defense, and the physical strength required is also quite large, so a series of physical training plans have been arranged beforehand, and the training of the queue formation is also emphasized, and they are allowed to carry out projects such as carrying logs, so that they can be more tacit, more cooperative, and more trusting of each other.

Soon, Liu Shengan's 300 inscription battalion elites appeared on the opposite side, and the formation when they came out was also neat and consistent, but everyone in the audience compared the two sides in their hearts, and suddenly felt that Liu Shengan's 300 people were inferior.

Those who bet to buy Liu Shengan to win are already secretly worried that this competition will not be lost, right? But after thinking about it, the combat effectiveness of the Renzi Battalion was originally worse than that of the Mingzi Battalion, otherwise it would not always be bullied, this is just after a short month of training, even if the combat effectiveness increases, it is extremely limited, and it is impossible to lose.

Wang Bo looked at Liu Sheng'an's three hundred elites on the opposite side, looked at it for a while, walked to the front of the team with a special stainless steel spear in his hand, glanced at the soldiers one by one, and said slowly: "Everyone has worked hard this month's hard training, what do I do to you, I believe you know it in your hearts." ”

"Not much to say, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, although they are three times more than us, but! You have to remember one thing, and the most important thing......"

He suddenly shouted: "Do you want to be promoted? ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes! ”

"Do you want more rewards?"

"Yes!"

"You can see the other side clearly, they are all wicked people who prevent you from getting promoted and getting rich, what do you say?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! (To be continued.) )
