At the front of the line was a row of large scales. Behind the scale is the newly selected squad leader, they have all received a notice: the commander will check the weight of each person at any time, once the spot check of the person who has passed the sandbag weighs less than 100 catties, this person and the squad leader will be each beaten with a hundred leather whips, expelled from the army. Therefore, they all have very serious faces and dare not be careless. When I saw acquaintances or fellow villagers, I didn't have a good face.

Everyone weighs the sandbags and ties them to their bodies, and the team leader is responsible for checking the strength of the bindings. Then they received an order: to climb the summit of the main peak of Yelang Mountain within an hour, and then return to the playground.

Luo Ming used the comparative estimation method - that is, to measure the shadow length of the mountain, and then compared the shadow length of the two-meter-high bamboo pole to calculate the height of the mountain - and hastily measured the peak of the main peak of the Yelang Mountain, which is about a thousand meters above the ground. The steep terrain and the difficult trail made this a tough task for all.

In a mood of surprise and incomprehension, the team advanced towards the main peak of Yelang Mountain, which was a mile away. An hour later, less than 4,000 people were staggering back to the camp. More than 1,000 people are still on their way back.

Luo Ming, who was expressionless, stood outside the barracks gate, and as soon as the hourglass time came, he ordered the gate to be closed, and shouted to all those who failed to return on time: "You can pack up your things and go home." He asked Liu Long and the others to register the names of these people, and after paying some severance pay, they were all sent away.

These people were very unconvinced, and many of them came for high military salaries, and of course they did not want to be driven away just like that. They shouted noisily, "With such a heavy load and such a high mountain, why don't you try it?" and "Yes, this task is too difficult, right? ”

Qin Tianzhu said: "These two officers are for me to manage, and they will participate in the training later. In my army, the pay is high and the pay is good, but not everyone can stay there. This kind of training has to be persisted every day, rain or shine, and in the future, I will increase the amount of exercise, climb the main peak two or even three times, and you didn't finish it on the first day, so you are not qualified to mix in my barracks. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw many soldiers who had already completed their tasks gathered around. They were all shocked by Luo Ming's statement, it was already difficult to climb the main peak once, and they had to climb two or three times. Obviously, the officers are still discussing the training program in the afternoon, do they want to live?

Luo Ming knew that they were all very emotional, so he said loudly: "You all say that this training task is too difficult, then I'll do it for you once, you can see!" After he finished speaking, he tied up all his sandbags and began to climb to the top. From the barracks, you can clearly see the summit of the main peak of Mt. Yoro, as well as the path up the mountain. They saw the skinny little boy climb up the main peak with ease, and then come down. Less than half an hour later, Luo Ming ran back to the barracks. Except for the ruddy complexion and rapid breathing, there was no very difficult look. Remove all the sandbags on your body and weigh them with a large scale, with a total weight of 250 catties. The audience was silent.

Everyone was shocked.

Luo Ming ascended to the top and said loudly in his not particularly mature voice: "You all know the two of you in the Land of Sighs, they are so powerful, aren't they also killed by us?"

He went on to say, "Nothing is impossible. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can become the most powerful iron army in the whole continent. ”

In the midst of admiration and emotion, Luo Ming came down and whispered to Liu Long and the others: "You must also participate in training in the future, don't disappoint me." ”

At this moment, a fast horse galloped in. When he arrived in front of Luo Ming, the rider immediately turned over and knelt down in a hurried tone: "King Yelang, a large number of men and horses from the Mobilization Alliance rushed to the empty land and asked us to give up our territory, otherwise we will meet each other in battle." There are far more of them than we are, and the general wants you to hurry over and have a look. ”

"These guys, why are they so insatiable?" Luo Ming muttered, and explained to Liu Long and the others: "Every day, the two of you are responsible for supervising, training according to the training plan I gave you in the morning, and those who are unqualified and those who can't persist will be resolutely eliminated." In my absence, I leave everything to you. The two of them said in unison: "Don't worry, we will never be lazy." ”

Luo Ming and Xiaoyu rode their horses and galloped quickly.

When they arrived in the Land of Sighs, they saw many of the Alliance's men in a semi-encircled state. The number of officers and troops led by the fat general was obviously small, and they confronted the opponent in a defensive formation. At the front of the team at the core of the Sunset Alliance stood a young man about seventeen years old, and Luo Ming recognized her at a glance as the young master of the Eastern Alliance.

The Land of Sighs Iron Ore now belongs to the Alliance, but the surrounding ones belong to Black Cloud City, isn't that what the treaty says?But how could he bring so many people to ask for this land?

Everyone at the scene saw Luo Ming galloping on a horse, and when he arrived at the fat man's side, he flew down, causing a small commotion in the entire crowd.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and hold the scene, the leader of the Young Alliance shouted: "Luo Ming, your men and horses are only 2,000 people. Today, our alliance has 8,000 people, and the follow-up troops are still coming, and you can't stop it at all. For the sake of everyone, you should obediently hand over this land. ”

Her words resonated with some of the militants in the Eastern Alliance, who howled like vicious dogs chained, and there was some panic on the side of the officers and soldiers. They didn't know that there were only five or six thousand people in total, and there was no so-called continuous backup.

After hearing that the Land of Sighs had been occupied by Black Cloud City, the Young Alliance Lord immediately rushed to negotiate with the fat man with more than 1,000 people from his headquarters, asking the officials and soldiers to give up this place, so that they could be stationed for defense. To put it bluntly, the other resource alliances in this place also want it.

After being rejected by the fat man, she immediately returned to the Sunset Forest, and without making any reports and requests to the ASEAN lords, she took matters into her own hands, instigating some of the leaders of the forces that had joined the alliance, and led their respective men and horses to rush over, trying to quickly take the Land of Sighs and create a fait accompli. Even if Black Cloud City comes forward to recover it in the future, the bargaining weight will definitely be beneficial to the alliance.

It should be said that her resoluteness and courage were very correct, and the pressure on the fat man and other officers and soldiers was extremely great, and she was almost about to succeed.

It was precisely because he admired his son's shrewdness, resoluteness, and resoluteness, and the maturity and sophistication that he often showed, that he decided to give him great authority.
