Chapter 4 Training (Part II)
Twenty minutes later, Liu Yu finally walked up from the Changqing River. Before he had time to catch his breath, he continued to practice the exercises at the request of Wei Zifu.
The cultivation lasted for a full hour, and when the students came to their senses one after another, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the strength in their bodies had increased a lot.
"You've all finished your training, it's time for cross-country training in the hills. Wei Zifu's voice without a trace of emotion sounded again, "Remember, after each training, you can't stop to rest, you must immediately practice the exercises, only in this way can your skills grow faster." Do you get it?"
"Yes, understood!" the students replied in unison. This time, their voices were particularly loud, and they also had some respect for Wei Zifu in their hearts. Although his training is perverted, as long as he can quickly increase his skills, the students are happy to accept his training methods.
This time all the students neatly lifted the log and began to walk through the hills. The average height of this hill outside Bokan is about 500 meters, and the slope is more than 60 degrees. Towering ancient trees and low bushes became obstacles in their tracks. Wei Zifu also explained that they couldn't destroy every grass and tree in the hills, which invisibly slowed down their progress.
Wei Zifu has been observing the students and using this training to understand their physical condition. Now it seems that these students still make him very satisfied, and the overall quality is very good. The training he is conducting now is no longer the training subject of ordinary soldiers, but the harshest training method adopted by the special operations forces in every army. Although this is the first time for these trainees, they have already been able to successfully complete their first training course.
There were no roads, and the trainees had to go around those ancient trees and bushes. And the three-meter-long log also made it very difficult for them to walk, after all, in the dense jungle, there are few such distances for them to pass calmly.
Wang Tong and a student named Qi Guang walked at the front of the line. In this dense jungle terrain, Wang Tong behaved like a fish in water, and he could always find the easiest path to traverse among the lush foliage. In the process of marching to the top of the hill, the tall Wang Tong walked behind, and the relatively short Qi Guang opened the way in front, and the weight of the log he was carrying could be evenly distributed among the two people. Under Wang Tong's guidance, Qi Guang walked through the gaps between the ancient trees and shrubs. Often a branch is brushed away, avoiding a bush, and the front suddenly opens up, and it can be easily passed through.
The other students also followed the example of Wang Tong and Qi Guang and walked forward behind them. Sure enough, it was a lot easier to walk like this.
When it was time to go down from the top of the hill, Wang Tong walked ahead again, also maintaining the balance between the two. He seemed to be very familiar with the hills, and walked through the woods and bushes without a pause or hesitation.
After an hour of practice, the students' bodies had recovered to their best condition, and the speed of the first two kilometers was very fast. After two kilometers, the difficulty of traveling through the hills was experienced. The barriers of the woods and shrubs are still secondary, and the most physically demanding are the uphill and downhill.
It's a little better uphill, but it's even more tiring downhill. It looks like it's easier to go downhill, but it's not. You can't go fast when you're going downhill, and if you're fast, you'll get out of control. If you accidentally fall, no one can bear the heavy log that smashes on your body.
Wang Tong walked cautiously in front, holding the log on his shoulder with one hand and swinging his balance with the other. Every step must be solid before he lifts his other foot, and at the same time, his mouth is still shouting, to remind Qi Guang behind him to keep the same pace with him.
Walking in the undulating hills, Liu Yu feels a lot more relaxed than in the Changqing River, after all, there is no resistance of the river on the hills, and there is no soft and sunken silt. Although walking in the hills is also not very fast, the consumption of Liu Yu's physical strength is much smaller.
Back at the Bokan Military Academy, it was already evening. After half a day of training, the trainees of the first class of the command department were in good spirits and did not feel tired after the training under normal circumstances. Wei Zifu still looked at them expressionlessly, it seems that these students are not lazy in normal times, this amount of training is still not enough for them, they have to make them suffer a little more, so that they can understand the cruelty of war and survive on the battlefield.
"Today's training subjects are yesterday's two plus a five-kilometre armed swim, which can only be considered a pass if it is completed in two hours. If it cannot be completed in two hours, a fine of 10 kilometers of rapid march will be imposed. Wei Zifu stood by the Changqing River and said coldly, "Don't think that it is enough for you to complete the training yesterday, that is just to let you adapt first, you are still far from a good soldier!" ”
Hearing Wei Zifu's order, the students scrambled to pick up the log and run towards the Changqing River. I thought that yesterday's training intensity was high enough, but who knew that was the beginning. With time constraints, it doesn't feel the same to train. Yesterday's training of two subjects plus the rest time in between used up more than four hours, and now there is one more, but the time is two hours less, and the rest time is no longer to be counted on, and it can no longer move forward slowly like yesterday.
Wang Tong also frowned, based on the time spent in training yesterday and the usual results of himself and Qi Guang, he calculated that if the two of them used their full strength, they could complete the training of the first two subjects in an hour and a half. I have never tried to swim in a very physically demanding situation. Come to think of it, the five-kilometer armed swimming crossing must also be swimming against the current, and the water flow of the Changqing River is already very fast, and the training of this armed swimming crossing is not easy.
Zhang Bo has already started praying, although it was easy yesterday, but there is no time limit, in terms of his strength, it is thankful that it can be completed in three hours, and now there are only two hours, it seems that he is ready to be punished.
Liu Yu doesn't have any ideas now, according to his speed yesterday, he must be the last, I just hope to do my best, and I can still have the physical strength to complete the punishment.
"In the Changqing River, we don't want to run too fast, so as not to consume too much physical strength, and we can guarantee that we can finish it within 50 minutes. When you cross the hills next, you listen to my command and strive to complete it in half an hour. Wang Tong began to arrange tactics to Qi Guang, "We will try our best to swim across the final armed swim, which everyone has not trained, so we can only prepare for the worst." ”
"I understood, and I did what you said. ”
In the Changqing River, fifty-one students carried logs and kept running, and they rowed white water waves on the turbulent water.
According to the prior plan, Wang Tong and Qi Guang did not exert their strength at the beginning, but just followed everyone forward quickly. After the previous day's training, Wang Tong already knew something about Changqinghe. Waist-deep under the river is a thick layer of silt, and the ubiquitous undercurrent binds the people who are moving quickly in the river.
"Luck your feet, speed up your cadence, and don't let your feet get stuck in the mud. Decrease the stride length and don't raise your leg too high to reduce resistance. Wang Tong said loudly, not only reminding Qi Guang who was in his group, but also reminding other classmates that as for how much they can comprehend, it depends on their own surnames.
Using the method mentioned by Wang Tong, everyone suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Everyone has already achieved certain results in the cultivation of the Yi Jin Jing Gong, and can use it to improve their physical conditions such as strength, agility, speed, and flexibility.
When the exercises are running and the cadence is quickening, the students tap their feet lightly, and they have already pulled out before they are deep in the mud, which reduces the pull of the mud on their feet. If the step distance is smaller, reduce the height of the leg lift, which can speed up the cadence, on the other hand, the amplitude of the leg swing becomes smaller, the running distance in the water becomes shorter, and the resistance of the river water is reduced accordingly. It not only speeds up the speed of progress, but also saves physical strength.
Liu Yu walked at the back, trying to follow closely behind his classmates, hoping not to be thrown away too much. He also heard Wang Tong's words, and he quickly understood what Wang Tong meant, and did better. He also found an advantage in the back, that is, the river in front of him was constantly stirred by the people in front of him, and the river was stirred up and chaotic, and the flow speed was slowed down. By the time he stepped in, the river had just calmed down, and the speed of the flow had not yet been raised, which was equivalent to speeding in a river with a very slow flow and a calm surface, which saved him a lot of physical strength.
With this discovery, Liu Yu no longer desperately chased after him, but kept a certain distance from the classmates in front of him. This distance was also determined after he experimented for a while. Neither too close, too close and the water has not yet returned to calm. Not too far, too far, for by the time he stepped in, the river was already flowing faster.
After advancing six kilometers in the river, Wang Tong motioned for Qi Guang to gradually increase his speed. The two of them slowly overtook the other students and ran at the front of the line.
The energy saved in the first half of the journey allowed them to now have enough stamina to speed up, and soon leave everyone else far behind. The speed is getting faster and faster, and from a distance, the two people seem to be running on the water, dragging a long white wave behind them.
When Wang Tong was the first to cross the finish line, it took forty-eight minutes, two minutes earlier than the fifty minutes he had planned. Without taking a breath, Wang Tong and Qi Guang went straight to the hills. Spend less than one minute in the first two subjects and you will have more confidence in the final armed swim. Time is precious, and Wang Tong does not dare to waste every minute and every second.
Five minutes after Wang Tong and Qi Guang landed, the other students also began to reach the finish line one after another. One by one, they climbed the river bank and began the training of the second subject. It wasn't until fifteen minutes later that Liu Yu was the last to arrive. Leaving the Changqing River and entering the hills, the students did not stop to rest, but just adjusted their breathing and rhythm while moving forward to save time and complete the training of the next two subjects.
