Chapter 33: The Battle
In order to understand the strength of each recruit, the commanders of the recruit camp divided everyone into six large groups, each group of more than 100 people, all of them participated in the competition, and then selected the strongest in each group in a one-on-one elimination method.
According to the arrangement of the battalion commander Cao Zhen, the competition in this battalion should be as close to actual combat as possible, although all the knives were not sharpened, and all the guns were also removed from the tips, but they were still easily injured.
In order to make a good impression on the generals and give themselves a good future, all the recruits went all out in this most important inspection training. Therefore, wonderful fights have appeared frequently, and many recruits with outstanding strength have also emerged.
After watching several battles, Ye Ying couldn't help but have a new understanding of these recruits, among these recruits, there were actually more than 20 people who had cultivated their internal strength and entered the realm of martial artists like themselves.
What Ye Ying didn't know, since the two emperors of Daning were taken away by the Northern Barbarians, the new emperor Liu Gou after ascending the throne decided to change the status quo of Daning's emphasis on literature and light on military force. There were several decrees encouraging martial artists, and even the imperial imperial examination was divided into literary and martial examinations.
As a result, many martial arts families have emerged, and many young people have also been trained, who believe that in this era of war. If you want to get ahead, joining the army is the fastest way, so many families send their outstanding young people to the army.
And the three mighty legions of the Wild Lion, the Wyvern Dragon and the War Tiger inevitably became the first choice of everyone, and it is no surprise that there are some young people with good kung fu among the recruits in each issue.
The recruits were all young people, and everyone was extremely excited to see the outstanding performance of their peers, and even speculated about who would be the first in each group of battles, or who would be the first master in the recruit camp.
In the performance of the previous period, Ye Ying did not do his best, and he didn't even use internal force at all, and he defeated his opponent with martial arts alone, so he was hot among the recruits. Not only is it far behind Qi Jiao, but even Shan Fu and Zhao Hu, who are only a first-grade martial artist.
In the first two rounds of the competition, Ye Ying's opponents were relatively weak, but Ye Ying still took care of their emotions and gave them plenty of time to "perform" before they "reluctantly" won.
Qi Jiao is different, as soon as he makes a move, he spares no effort to make a big move, and he can easily defeat his opponent in almost one or two draws. Qi Jiao's outstanding performance also made him the favorite to win the championship in his group.
Qi Jiao liked this feeling very much, and was also full of confidence in winning the first place in the group, he even looked at Ye Ying with pity, this guy could not escape the fate of kowtowing to himself in front of everyone.
The fight lasted for two days, and more than 100 people were eliminated one after another, and in the end only eight people remained. Ye Ying's five-person group was the most outstanding group among the more than 100 people they were in, and four of them actually entered the final eight.
Gander was the only one in the five-member group to be eliminated, but he didn't feel frustrated at all, but was proud that his group had so many talented people.
For this reason, in all the games of the five-member team, Gander was always the first to appear on the scene and cheer for his brothers.
In the eight-in-four competition, the four members of Ye Ying's group finally met, and the specific situation was Ye Ying vs. Shan Fu, while Zhao Hu's opponent was Qi Jiao, who was recognized as the strongest.
The first to start the fight were Qi Jiao and Zhao Hu, two strong men with strength, who started a powerful confrontation without any fancy fancy.
At the beginning of the fight, the two went all out and started a fierce battle like Mars hitting the earth, and both of them seemed to have one less string in their brains, and they didn't know what skills to dodge or other skills, so they directly used weapons to start colliding.
This huge battle made the recruits who watched it addicted, and they did their best to shout for their supporting companions, making the whole scene very lively.
Qi Jiao has always been very strong, but there are also reasons why he is strong, because his strength is really good, and he has the upper hand not long after the two sides fought.
However, Zhao Hu's performance also surprised Qi Jiao very much, because although he was at a disadvantage and even suffered a little injury, Zhao Hu had no intention of admitting defeat at all, and he didn't even snort.
As the competition continued, the shock in Qi Jiao's heart became more and more severe, and he began to admire this member of the same group who didn't speak on weekdays, but he didn't expect him to have such strong perseverance.
Although he was at a disadvantage and his injuries were getting more and more serious, Zhao Hu had only one thought in his heart, although he had almost no chance of winning, but he also had to make the other party pay some price, so that the more likely he would lose when he faced the sixteenth brother in the future.
What Zhao Hu didn't expect was that his persistence was not only appreciated by his companions who were watching the battle, but even Qi Jiao, who was his opponent, admired him.
Seeing that Zhao Hu had more and more injuries on his body, Qi Jiao couldn't bear it anymore, he began to reduce the strength of the attack, and at the same time persuaded Zhao Hu to admit defeat.
"Huzi, admit defeat!" Ye Ying and Shan Fu were worried about what happened to Zhao Hu, and shouted on the side.
On weekdays, Zhao Hu almost obeyed Ye Ying's words, but at this time, he began to harden up, saying nothing and refusing to admit defeat.
In the end, the battalion commander who was watching the battle made Cao Zhen unable to see it, and forcibly stopped the competition, and Zhao Hu withdrew from the circle without getting enough.
The fight between Qi Jiao and Zhao Hu made all the recruits who watched it exciting, the competition was over, and they still felt unfinished.
And then, the fight between Ye Ying and Shan Fu greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, thinking that it was another fight like Mars hitting the earth, but there was a dramatic ending.
Before the competition officially began, the little fat man Shan Fu came to the scene and announced with a smile that he would admit defeat in this competition.
Shan Fu's decision made almost everyone present widen their eyes. They didn't believe their ears a little, because judging from the situation of the previous few battles, the strength shown by Shan Fu should be above Ye Ying, how could he take the initiative to abstain at this time.
But Shan Fu didn't think so, not to mention that he knew how he was not Ye Ying's opponent, and more importantly, he didn't want to consume Ye Ying's physical strength because of himself, so that he could be in a good state to defeat the opponents behind.
Of course, Ye Ying understood Shan Fu's thoughts, he wanted to stop Shan Fu, but he also thought that this was in the military camp, if Shan Fu reversed himself, he would probably be punished for despising the competition, so he had to give up.
Qi Jiao actually understood the reason why Shan Fu did this, but he felt that it didn't matter, because he thought that his victory should be a sure thing.
However, there is one thing that makes Qi Jiao feel envious, Shan Fu and Zhao Hu before him really didn't care about personal gains and losses for Ye Ying, such a brotherhood is really rare.
Because of this reason, Qi Jiao's idea of defeating Ye Ying and accepting him as her follower is even stronger, so that Shan Fu and Zhao Hu, two guys with good strength, will also become her supporters.
In the next two battles, there was not much suspense, Qi Jiao and Ye Ying defeated their opponents respectively. However, this time, because the opponent's strength was good, Ye Ying had to expose some of his strength and show the strength of a first-class martial artist.
Ye Ying's performance made the recruits watching the battle excited, and they began to look forward to the final battle between Ye Ying and Qi Jiao.
"You do have reservations, but that's fine, if I win this battle too easily, it's too boring." Seeing that Ye Ying was not as weak as before, Qi Jiao did not have a trace of worry, but was a little excited.
In the expectation of everyone, the last game is finally about to begin, and the two people who participated in the final duel are standing in the middle of the field with blades in hand.
The weapon in Qi Jiao's hand is a big iron rod, which is the favorite blade used by the warriors who are good at Daning's strength, because the founder of the Daning Dynasty, the first emperor of Daning, relied on an iron rod to fight the world.
In Ye Ying's hand, there is a spear that has been removed from the tip of the spear, which is also his favorite weapon, when the eagle handsome Ye Fei used a spear, with the thirteen eagles of the eagle and nearly 300,000 eagle troops, to kill the northern barbarians to lose their armor.
"You'd better hold on for a few more rounds, and if you win too easily, it's not interesting." Before the fight began, Qi Jiao said loudly to Ye Ying in front of him, causing his fans to laugh.
"I think so too, I hope you don't let me down." Regarding Qi Jiao's provocation, Ye Ying didn't mean to be angry at all, he replied with a smile.
"The fight begins!" The shout of a veteran who was judged by everyone immediately raised a frightening aura on Qi Jiao's body.
"Split Huashan!" I saw Qi Jiao shouting, and suddenly jumped high on the spot, and the big stick in his hand smashed towards Ye Ying's head.
Qi Jiao's strength is infinite, and this time it is inevitable, this iron rod that condenses more than half of the internal force of the whole body, even if it is a stone, it may be smashed to pieces, not to mention Ye Ying, who only has flesh and blood.
As soon as Qi Jiao came, it was such an earth-shattering fierce attack, which made all the recruits watching the battle on the sidelines let out a burst of exclamation, and many people looked at Ye Ying with pity in their eyes, because in their opinion, this stick was something that Ye Ying could not resist no matter what.
Seeing that Qi Jiao's stick was menacing, Ye Ying didn't want to carry it with him, first, he was about to turn around and let go of this head-on stick, but he didn't expect it, but he felt a resistance, it turned out that Qi Jiao divided part of the internal force and locked Ye Ying's figure.
Qi Jiao's internal force is not strong, and it is still impossible to completely imprison a person's actions, but it can still be done with a little resistance. But it was this short moment that was fatal, because this time was enough for Dafang to smash on Ye Ying's head.
The big stick was not far from the top of Ye Ying's head, and Qi Jiao was still imagining evilly, if he put the big stick on top of Ye Ying's head, would this guy be scared to pee?
But at this moment, Ye Ying's figure suddenly disappeared, and the big stick that Qi Jiao swung out actually smashed into the air.
Qi Jiao's reaction was also quite sensitive, he quickly discovered Ye Ying's current position, his body only moved a little to the side, but it was this distance that Qi Jiao's big stick could not attack him.
The recruits who were watching the battle were also dumbfounded, and they didn't even see clearly, how did Ye Ying's true feelings escape from the range of Qi Jiao's big stick?
At this time, Qi Jiao realized that Ye Ying actually had an internal force no less than his own, that is to say, Ye Ying, like himself, was at least a first-class martial artist.
"It seems that you still hide your strength, but you are still not my opponent." Ye Ying's outstanding performance not only did not disappoint Qi Jiao, but stimulated his fighting spirit to the greatest extent.
