Chapter Thirty-Six: A Narrow Encounter
The Hundred Warriors Championship is a traditional training competition of the Wild Lions, which is held in each battalion every year. This can not only test the combat ability and training effect of individual soldiers, but also an effective way to improve their coordination and cooperation.
For the recruit battalion, it is a very difficult thing to win in this kind of almost actual combat competition, and in previous competitions, the recruit battalion has always been the object of "abuse" by veterans.
"Boss, Brother Zheng Hao is coming to you again." Gander quickly ran in from outside the tent and said to Ye Ying, his eyes flashing with excitement.
During this period of time, Zheng Hao, who was recognized as the strongest man in the new barracks, became the object of everyone's pursuit, not only because of his outstanding kung fu, but more importantly, Zheng Hao was modest, always with a sunny smile on his face, and soon became the idol of many soldiers in the battalion.
And Gander, who has always admired the strong, heard the idol talk to him very politely, although it was just a simple inquiry, but it already made him a little overwhelmed with excitement.
"I'll go right over." For this Zheng Hao, Ye Ying's impression is still very good, this very sunny young man has been very close to Ye Ying in recent days.
Ye Ying walked out of the camp tent and saw a young man with a smile at a glance, it was Zheng Hao, who was recognized as the number one master in the new barracks, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Hahaha, good brother, brother is looking for you again!" Seeing Ye Ying, Zheng Hao immediately opened his arms and gave him a warm hug.
"I'm here today, or for the matter of competing for the top of the hundred warriors, I have some new ideas about this matter, and I want to communicate with you." Zheng Hao said with a smile.
In recent days, Zheng Hao has come to look for Ye Ying for two things, the first thing is to discuss martial arts, and the second thing is to compete for the championship of this hundred soldiers.
"Brother, this "narrow road encounter" is very crucial, the more people who come out of the first stage, the greater the possibility of our victory in the next two stages, I have some thoughts, brother, do you think it is feasible? Zheng Hao patted Ye Ying's shoulder and shared his thoughts one by one.
Ye Ying listened carefully to Zheng Hao's words, and occasionally interjected a sentence or two, time passed little by little, seeing that the time was already a little late, Zheng Hao left unsatisfied.
Not only Zheng Hao and Ye Ying, but in the past few days, the most discussed topic in the recruit camp is the competition for the championship.
And the two battalions of Shaking Mountain and Yum, which are not far from the new barracks, also attach great importance to this matter, compared to the new barracks, their pressure is greater, as a veteran barracks that has been established for a longer time, if they lose to the new barracks in this battle, then how can it not be justified?
"Brother Sima, my brother has already inquired about the new barracks, their strength this year is good, but they are just a second-grade martial artist, so there is nothing to be afraid of." In a tent in the Shaking Mountain Camp, four young men gathered, and the person who spoke was a lean man with dark skin.
These four young people are the strongest in the Shaking Mountain Camp, two second-grade lower realm martial artists, one second-grade middle realm martial artist, and one young man who looks particularly handsome, that is, Sima Mingyu, the first master of the Shaking Mountain Camp, who is less than thirty years old, has actually reached the second-grade upper realm.
"Brother Qiao Shan inquired about the news of the new barracks, I also received bad news from the Baisheng Battalion, Shi Yi of the Baisheng Battalion, not long ago advanced to the second grade middle realm, it seems that this time we want to defeat them again, the difficulty has increased a lot." A young man with a brown birthmark on the lower part of his right face said.
"Brother Wan Gang's news is very timely, but we don't have to be too afraid of them, although they have two second-grade middle realm and one second-grade upper realm martial artist, but in fact, the key lies in the duel between me and Liu Mao, and when I defeat him, Zhao Jinzhe and Shi Yi will not be a problem." Sima Mingyu, who was sitting at the top, said confidently.
In the Baisheng Camp, there was an optimistic atmosphere, and in the last battle, because the number of second-rank martial artists was less than that of the Shaking Mountain Camp, they lost to each other.
But this time, as Shi Yi advanced to the second-rank middle realm, they began to be full of confidence in this battle, because according to the comparison of strength, a second-grade mid-realm martial artist had a much greater victory against two second-grade lower realm martial artists.
In the anticipation of nearly 2,000 soldiers in the three battalions, the competition for the championship of the 100 troops of the Shaking Mountain, Baisheng and the new barracks officially began on a sunny autumn day.
It is a huge flat land on the mountainside, and it is late autumn at this time, and the maple leaves all over the mountain are as red as a burning flame, and the green trees are beautiful.
Almost all the soldiers of the Lion Army, Baisheng, Shaking Mountain, and the New Barracks gathered here today, waiting for this event that would mean a lot to them.
At this time, the soldiers of the three battalions lined up in a neat queue, standing there energetically, unwilling to lose to each other in momentum.
On a huge block of stone, at this time stood several well-armored generals, among whom the commanders of three battalions were all in between. But at this time, they are obviously not the protagonists, because they are surrounded by a tall general like the stars holding the moon.
Ye Ying's position just happened to be able to see the face of the tall general, looking at the momentum he exuded and the face that was not angry and threatening, Ye Ying judged that this person must be a general who had killed many people on the battlefield.
Seeing the respectful appearance of several battalion commanders on the side, it is not difficult for everyone to guess that this tall general is Zeng Yi, the captain of Zhaowu, who commanded the six battalions of Han Baisheng, Shaoshan and the recruit battalion.
Soon after entering the recruit camp, the recruits discussed Zeng Yi, the supreme commander of the army where he was in his army, although he was born in the Zeng family, one of the six major families in Daning, but he was able to become a general in command of an army, or he relied on his own military exploits to accumulate again and again.
I heard that when Zeng Yi was still the battalion command room, he once led a battalion under him, with a strength of more than 600 people, to chase a group of bandits with more than 2,000 people and flee in embarrassment, and finally the bandit capital was killed.
"Now I have invited the supreme commander of our army, General Zeng Yi, to give us a lecture." At this time, a voice next to him confirmed everyone's guess.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! The soldiers in the audience let out a neat and majestic roar.
Zeng Yi looked at the people below, a slight smile appeared on his face, he raised his hands slightly flat, and the audience immediately became quiet.
"The Wild Lion Army does not raise bad seeds, I Zeng Yi also admires brave and intelligent soldiers, all brothers in the next period of time, show all your skills to prove that you are worthy of being the warriors of the Wild Lion Army!" Zeng Yi's words are not many, but they are full of inflammatory and make people feel enthusiastic.
After Zeng Yi finished speaking, some officers emphasized it, mainly to talk about rules and boost everyone's morale.
As with the training in the boot camp, the blades used in this battle were also wooden or without the tip of a spear. The only difference is that the tip of each weapon is tied to a mass of white ash cloth.
Anyone who is struck by a weapon and has white ash on his body is judged to be "killed" and must withdraw from the battle, and violators will be punished by military law. After an officer explained, Ye Ying and the others understood the meaning of wrapping white ash.
Ye Ying's Wu, where he participated, was a clearing in the mountains, surrounded by small flags, and if he went out of the range of the small flag, he would also be judged to be killed.
Next to the neighborhood and in the open space, there were quite a few soldiers, each wearing a yellow coat, and they were all the ones who were in charge of the judging work.
The five people in Ye Ying's army were tightly encircled, and in the other two places not far away, there were also five people gathered there, needless to say, they were the opponents of the two battalions of Baisheng and Shaoshan.
Although everyone has not yet started to act, a big battle is inevitable, because according to the rules of this narrow road encounter, only one of the soldiers of these three corps can go out "alive".
Although the general who was the judge had already announced the start of the game, everyone stayed where they were, because they knew that any fight between the two teams would leave a team that would benefit from the fisherman.
After a stalemate for a while, the soldiers of the Baisheng Battalion finally couldn't help but start moving, but the direction of their actions was not on the side of the recruit battalion, but towards the soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion.
Looking at the soldiers of the Baisheng Battalion who were getting closer and closer, the native soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion immediately drew their weapons and looked at the opponents who were getting closer and closer.
"Brother Chen, don't get excited, I'm not here to find trouble, but to make a suggestion." One of the five people in the Baisheng Battalion walked out and said to the leader of the soldiers in the Shaking Mountain Battalion.
"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!" The leader of the Shaking Mountain Camp didn't give him a good face, and said in a cold voice impatiently.
"If our two teams compete and let the boot camp take advantage and become the final winner, then we will have nowhere to put our faces when we go out. Why don't we join forces to destroy the new barracks first, and then divide the winners and losers? The man in the Camp of Ess arched.
"That's fine, but don't play tricks on you, kid." The face of the captain of the Shaking Mountain Camp softened slightly.
"How is that possible? Let's get started. The man in the Yum camp said with a smile.
"Brothers, do you have the confidence to deal with ten of them at the same time?" Seeing that the two sides got together and didn't start fighting, they were muttering something to say? Ye Ying guessed their intentions at once, but he didn't take it to heart, and just said lightly.
"I'm worried that I can't have a good time, so let them come, the first battle is mine, and you are not allowed to rob me." Hearing Ye Ying's words, Qi Jiao became happy, and he said loudly to the three Shan Fu who were eager to try.
"Why? We've been waiting for this battle for a long time. Hearing Qi Jiao's words. The little fat man Shan Fu immediately said, although Zhao Hu on the side did not speak, but he looked the same as Shan Fu's thoughts.
Several people wanted to take the lead, Ye Ying had to stop Shan Fu and Zhao Hu with a smile, and let Qi Jiao, who looked proud, stand at the front.
The Baisheng Battalion and the Shaoshan Battalion walked over together, but found a strong man standing alone in front, while the other four were still far away, and stopped with some confusion.
"What do you see? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy? If you want to fight, hurry up, kill you guys, and I'll go back to dinner early. Seeing that the ten people on the other side didn't make a move, Qi Jiao became a little impatient.
"Since you want to find death, then grandpa, I will fulfill you!" The military commander surnamed Chen in the Shaking Mountain Camp was obviously a person with a bad temper, and he was suddenly angered by Qi Jiao.
Wu Chang, surnamed Chen, held a spear in his hand, rushed to Qi Jiao in a few steps, and raised the spear as a shot in his chest.
