No matter which battalion, all those included in the "first regiment" mean elite soldiers, and the new battalion is no exception.

The recruits who entered the first regiment were not arranged in the order of entering the camp on a first-come, first-served basis, but were selected according to three types of formations: cavalry, infantry archery, and infantry combat.

Entering the first regiment of the recruit camp does not mean that the position is stable, because there is a recruit challenge every month, and the recruits of the rest of the regiment can challenge the soldiers of the first regiment, divided into three rankings: horse battle, foot shooting, and foot combat.

So, the competition for the 1st regiment was fierce. The soldiers below are like this, and the competition between the regiment leader, brigade commander, team leader, and fire commander above is more intense, not only the soldiers outside the regiment are challenged, but also the soldiers in the regiment are challenged upward. Because when new recruits come in, the first thing is to see who has a hard fist, and then to see if you have the ability to lead troops.

And the ability to lead troops is not just about the hard fists.

Therefore, some recruits with outstanding martial arts have just entered the battalion as regiment commanders and brigade commanders, and they will gradually descend to become team leaders and fire commanders, because he only has such the ability to lead troops. Moreover, those with high martial arts skills do not necessarily have strong ability to lead troops, but because the independence of martial arts practice is not suitable for collective combat, there are even fewer people who have command ability. Therefore, a warrior in the army, no matter what realm you have, if you only have the ability to lead forty or fifty soldiers, then you will be the team leader, and if you only have the ability to lead ten soldiers, then you will be the fire commander. If you can't bring ten soldiers in a row, then you will be a military cavalry general who does not command the army and only fights, or an overseer general who is taught in the army.

However, if the children of the family are interested in joining the army, they are still different from the warriors from the poor family, because they will study the military books and practice the art of war while practicing martial arts since childhood.

Therefore, Xu Chongmo and Xiao Yan first went to the Sixth Regiment to be the regiment commander and brigade commander, first tried to train their hands for three or five months, led the troops in the Sixth Regiment to bring out their experience, and then went to the First Regiment to be the leading officer.

This is what he thinks is a safe approach - with the background of these three teenagers, especially the two Xiao children, they must be cultivated as "generals", if they can start from the bottom and accumulate experience step by step, the foundation for becoming a good general will be solid.

But listening to the meaning of the military master's question, it seems that the three of them should be put into the first regiment at the beginning?

The soldiers of the first regiment are not easy to bring!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant, and he replied: "The two brigade commanders of the first regiment are both in the early stage of the fusion realm, and their strength is comparable, and there is no obvious victory or defeat in a few battles, so the regiment leader has not been decided. ”

To be the regiment leader of the new barracks, it is necessary to have a clear advantage of force to suppress the brigade commanders below, which is the characteristic of the new barracks "with fists" - and the first regiment is particularly prominent.

Xu Chongmo glanced at Xiao Yan and Xiao Ji, these two can suppress the two brigade commanders of the first regiment in terms of force, but the recruits of the first regiment are different from other recruit regiments, everyone thinks that they are very good, have a character and temper, if the leading officer lacks the means of heart and eye, and only relies on hard fists, it will not be able to play, and he will be deceived by the cunning and cunning recruits of the first regiment or even jointly set up, this is not without precedent.

However, as the sons of Governor Xiao and General Xiao, these two teenagers should have the ability to command troops, right?

Xu Chongmo thought to himself that if the military master decided, he would not object.

Although he thinks that it is more appropriate to start with the easy and then the difficult, and to take it step by step.

In fact, many poor generals in the army, including some generals of the family, believe that it is best for the children of the family to start from the fire commander and the team, learn to be commanded first, and then command others. Because of their family background, they are high, and after becoming generals, the cooperation with generals of the same level has become a big problem. Take this fight against Tibet as an example, why did the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Jingnan Army fight together, why did Xiao Yu take Xiao Yu as the main commander instead of Cao Yuandu? Of course, in terms of soldiers, the Jingnan Army is more than the Xiao Cavalry Army, and the Xiao Cavalry Army is a single cavalry unit, which is not suitable for commanding the comprehensive arms to fight, but in addition to these two reasons, there is also an important reason that Cao Yuandu, who was born in a poor family, could not command Xiao Yu from a family surnamed A at all. If the Zhenwu Army and the Jingnan Army, which are both comprehensive corps, are replaced to fight together, then the commander will definitely be Xiao Yu, the commander of the Jingnan Army, not Wei Jingshou, the head of the Zhenwu Army.

Xu Chongmo didn't insist on his own idea, because he was good at observing his mind, and he had already seen that their military master, who had a strong style and didn't like to play cards according to common sense, had an unusual idea.

Xiao Yu laughed, his smile and tone of speech were nonchalant, but those light brown eyes contained endless determination.

"Xiao Yuezhi, do you want to be the leader of the first regiment?"

Isn't it "Do you dare to be the leader of the first regiment?" "Nor do you want to be the leader of the first regiment?" "Rather—do you want it? If you want it, I'll give it to you. Let you climb high in one step.

But can you afford it?

Yes, do it well! Don't climb high and fall down.

If you can't afford it, you can honestly start from the fire chief, and lead ten people first.

Xiao Yan didn't immediately answer yes or no, and lowered his eyebrows in contemplation.

She hadn't led a soldier, so she didn't know if she could do it.

One step to the top, fast, but also faced difficulties.

If she starts from below, accumulates experience and then rises, it is natural and safe, but she doesn't want to take a safe path. She was only fifteen years old, so she was not in a hurry, but she didn't want her mother to wait too long.

Her heart was full of fighting spirit, if she didn't try, how could she know that she couldn't do it? If it doesn't work, it has to work! Whoever refuses to accept it will be beaten until he is beaten!

Her eyebrows were raised like knives, and her bright eyes contained determination.

She looked at Xiao Ji, "Do you want the brigade commander of the first regiment?" ”

A pair of eyes under Xiao Jijunxiu's eyebrows were bent, with a bright smile and a cheerful voice, "Of course, the first group is ours." ”

His natural tone was very inflated, at least Xu Chongmo felt that - he was really the son of a military master, and that kind of natural arrogance was exactly the same.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Mu Fu, "Do you want to be the brigade commander of the first regiment?" ”

Mu Fu's eyes were ruthless and cold, and his voice was categorical, "I want to be the leader of the group!" ”

Xiao Yan squinted his eyebrows, "Wait until you take the brigade commander to defeat me." ”

"Good!" Mu Fu pressed the horizontal knife on his waist with his left hand and looked in the direction of the first regiment, his eyes showing the devouring color of a wolf predator.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yan and replied simply and neatly: "Yes." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and waved his hand in a chic manner, "Captain Xu, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Yes, General." Xu Chong gave a military salute.

Xiao Yu picked up the whip and turned over on his horse, galloped away from the recruit camp with his own soldiers, and returned to her main camp.

Xu Chong silently watched Xiao Yan go away, turned around and shouted, "Xiao Yan! Xiao Ji! Mufu! ”

"Here!" The three of them lined up in unison.

"Now go to the camp of the Jiafukun and lead the recruits to be dressed and live in the camp of the sixth regiment. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first regiment gathered in the training ground. ”

"Yes, Captain!" The three of them responded.

Xiao Yan stepped forward to take Xu Chongmo's collar slip and pass token, the three of them went out of the assessment field, rode to the Jiafucang camp, met the patrol on the way, stopped and showed the recruit pass token, asked the location of the Jiafucang, went south through the two camps, and arrived at the Jiafucang.

The three of them took their clothes and covered everything and returned to the recruit camp, and saw a tent with the flag of the "Sixth Regiment of Recruits" erected in the westernmost part of the camp area. The tent in the first tent was tied, and it was evident that the tent was full of soldiers. The three of them went directly into the second tent with the tent door open, and only three bunks were placed on the bunk of the eleven-man Chase bunk, which showed that the recruits of the Sixth Regiment were only fourteen at present—if they were unsure when the Sixth Regiment would be full, they were even more determined to take the first regiment.

The three of them put the bunk cover on the three empty seats next to each other, and the square bag of the bunk was not opened, anyway, they were going to sleep in the first regiment tonight, so they changed their uniforms first.

Mu Fu raised his hand and untied his belt.

Xiao Jiyi reached out and grabbed his arm, "Let my brother change first." He dragged him out.

Mu Fu was angry and gave him an elbow, "Xiao Seventeen will change his clothes when he changes his clothes, what are you dragging me for?" ”

Xiao Ji blocked it with his elbow and continued to drag him, "My brother is as beautiful as a fairy, what if she takes off her clothes and you have a crooked heart?" ”

Mu Fu was so angry that he swung his fist over, "He is also a man no matter how immortal he is, you treat me as a woman?" ”

The two scuffled on the ground.

Xiao Yan was already speechless to these two guys, he was too lazy to take care of it, and he calmly untied the knife and unleather, took off his boots and trouser belt.

The recruit's military robe was dark green with a right collar and arrow sleeves missing from the crotch, the hem of the robe was only thigh-length, the trousers were of the same color, and the hat was a blue-blue round-brimmed hood, which was made of rattan. Leather belts and boots were allowed to be used by the soldiers, as long as the appearance and color were the same as those of the military system - generally the children of noble and rich families brought them themselves, because they were better than the military system. Xiao Yan and the three of them all brought their own outfits.

The two were still scuffling on the ground, Xiao Yan had already changed his pants, put on his military robe, tied a leather belt and a sword, and finally put on a hat, tied a hat belt under his chin, and walked over and kicked the two of them, "Fight again, the brigade commander is gone!" ”

The two raised their eyes during the scuffle, and saw that she was neatly dressed in a dark green military uniform, handsome and handsome, blinded the eyes of the two, and jumped up and took off her clothes.

Xiao Ji waved at Xiao Yan, "Brother, you are waiting for us outside." "I can't let my sister see when I take off my pants.

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, isn't it just two bare legs, and it's not that he is not wearing obscene pants, what is there to see? But she wasn't interested in looking at the bare legs of the two teenagers, even if it was the legs of a beautiful boy, it wasn't as good-looking as hers, so she waved her hand and went out, leaving behind the sentence, "Hurry up, the time limit is ten seconds!" ”

Ten seconds later, the two men ran out while tying their horizontal knives, and the hats on their heads had not had time to tie the straps.

"Let's go! Beat people! Xiao Yan waved his hand imposingly and led the way.

The two hurriedly followed.

Mu Fu suddenly thought while fastening his hatband: Why did he listen to him? Ten seconds is ten seconds? Just go?

He reacted, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop.

Xiao Yan looked back, "Keep up!" Be positive when beating people! ”

Xiao Jipu laughed and said: "If you don't beat people actively, you will be beaten." ”

Mu Fu was furious and stepped up to follow, "You are the one who will be beaten!" ”

The three of them arrived at the training ground of the first regiment, where the recruits had just had lunch and were resting in their tents.

A shrill whistle was heard, followed by a dull drum.

The recruits stood up with a roar and rushed out one by one. When the drum of the three links was finished, two phalanxes had been arranged on the training ground, and the two brigade commanders stood in front of each of the phalanxes, running forward to report that they had completed the assembly.

Xiao Yan and the three of them lined up in a straight line on the left side below the school platform, but none of the soldiers looked at this side obliquely, everyone looked straight ahead, their shoulders were steady, and there was a solemn momentum when they stood there.

Xu Chongmo stood on the school platform and shouted: "The recruits Xiao Ji and Mu Fu challenged the first regiment brigade commanders Xiang Ying and Xiong Wu. ”

New recruits?

The soldiers of the first regiment seemed to be shocked, and everyone was stunned, who is so fierce, and he will challenge the commander of the first regiment when he enters the camp?

Xu Chongmo shouted: "Who will fight first?" ”

Xiao Ji suddenly kicked out of his legs, Mu Fu waved his arm to block, but Xiao Ji's kick was on his strong arm, and he took advantage of his strength to go on stage, haha: "I'll go first." ”

Mu Fu was so angry that his eyes erupted, "This guy is cheating again!" ”

Xiao Yan comforted him, "It's okay, the one who is on the back is the one who presses the stage." ”

Mu Fu snorted, his palm clutched the scabbard, his lips pursed into thin lines, and he stared at the person at the front of the second brigade with a fierce gaze.

Xiong Wu felt something, turned his head to meet his eyes, and the eyes of the two of them seemed to burst out with sparks in an instant, and before they could fight, the murderous aura was already soaring.

Xiang Ying, the commander of the First Brigade, has already come to power, he is in his thirties, he has a black beard on his lips, his skin is a little dark, and his eyes are heavy.

Xiao Ji raised his hand, struck his left palm with his right fist and gave him a military salute, and said with a smile: "Recruit Xiao Ji." ”

Xiang Ying also saluted, and his voice was as deep as his gaze, "Xiang Ying, the commander of the first brigade of the first regiment of recruits." ”

Xiao Ji grinned, "Soon it won't be." ”

What he said made people want to beat him up.

Many soldiers in the 1st Regiment had itchy hands.

The stage has already been exchanged.

Xiao Yan observed Xiang Ying's knife, his knife technique was as calm as the character he revealed, even if he knew that Xiao Ji's realm was a little higher than him, he was not cowardly, nor impetuous, he still fought calmly.

But Xiao Yan knew that he would be defeated.

Xiao Ji is stronger than him not only in his internal cultivation, but also in his sword skills, his heart and will are not bad at all, and he is not lacking in combat experience - he has been abused by his seventh aunt in the past. Xiang Ying's knife skills are only medium, and his moves are also decent, although he is calm enough, but he also lacks aura, and he thinks that there is no gain in martial arts, so he will put himself into the army to fight for a future, if he encounters an ordinary opponent, he can at least maintain undefeated with his calm sword skills and solid foundation, but Xiao Ji is not an ordinary opponent.

Xiao Yan no longer watched the battle on the stage, she turned her eyes to the formation of the Fifth Brigade. Her gaze stayed on the faces of each soldier for a second, and when she found those with fierce expressions or expressionless, she silently noted them down and classified them in her heart, most of those who looked nervous were supporters of Xiang Ying, and those with sneering or gloating expressions were mostly disobedient to him, and those who were completely expressionless, either had no tendencies, or were deep and moody, and this one should be paid more attention.

When Xiao Yan was silently observing the recruits, Xu Chongmo on the stage was also secretly observing her, seeing that her main attention was not on the stage, but on the queue of recruits under the stage, he silently praised it in his heart: she is a brain.

After more than a dozen moves, the winner on the stage has been divided.

Although Xiang Ying was defeated, his demeanor was good, and his calm face did not show frustration or resentment, and he raised his hand and saluted: "I am defeated." ”

Xiao Ji twisted the tip of the knife, picked up the horizontal knife on the ground, and flew towards Xiang Ying with the handle of the knife.

Xiang Ying reached out and caught it.

Xiao Ji said heartily: "Xiang Ying, let's talk again next time." His smile was bright, as bright as the sun, making people feel free and easy, without the slightest sense of lack of beating.

The recruits of the first regiment in the audience immediately felt a lot less bad for him, and they felt that the face and posture of this handsome young man were really pleasing to the eye, and some people cheered "frightened".

Xiang Ying's eyes flashed when Xiao Ji said the words "next time", and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, let's learn next time." He fell back to the stage and was placed at the front of the ranks of the 1st Brigade - he was in the middle of the line.

Xiao Yan also smiled.

The eighth cousin's vision is also good, and he can see that this Xiang Ying is a talent who leads soldiers.

Two-thirds of the recruits of the 1st Brigade showed a suffocating expression when Xiang Ying was defeated.

They will lead generals in the future, what kind of soldiers will they fight with these people?

followed by Mu Fu on stage and challenged Xiong Wu.

Xiong Wu is as strong as a bear, and his sword skills are as strong and powerful as his people. Mu Fu and his realm are comparable, both of them are in the early stage of the fusion realm, and their internal strength is almost the same, but Xiong Wu was born with divine power, and he surpassed Mu Fu in strength, and forced Mu Fu back with just a few swords.

But Xiao Yan only glanced at it a few times, and he was sure of the outcome - no matter how arrogant the bear is, can he fight the ruthless and cunning lone wolf in the wilderness?

She turned her gaze to the audience to observe the reaction of the recruits of the Second Brigade.

This is a glance at the meaning.

Those who applauded Xiong Wu's temporary superiority had no real joy in their eyes.

When Mu Fu's sword skills became more and more ruthless, the nervous reaction of the recruits of the Second Brigade seemed to be worried about Xiong Wu's defeat, but Xiao Yan's feeling was very sensitive, and she felt that it was more like "If this stupid bear is defeated, it seems that it will be difficult to deal with that ruthless boy".

She smiled.

It seems that Xiong Wu has been set up.

The recruits of this second brigade are much more cunning than the first brigade.

The author has something to say: Remarks:

1. After looking at the Tang Dynasty army unearthed in Turpan, there were numbers called the first regiment and the second regiment in the army at that time. However, each battalion has both numbers such as the first and second, as well as numbers to indicate functions, for example, the front battalion is the main battalion that indicates frontal combat, and the first battalion is the vanguard, which is also equal to the front battalion.

2. Regarding time, the ancients already had such a timer as seconds, but it is commonly used to call "breath", that is, one breath and one breath each represent 1 second.

3. About handing over: Generally, the left side is Hufu, and the right side is Hanfu.

4. 鍪: mou. The hat worn by the recruits is the round corrugated hat
