Chapter 025: Before the First Battle

The rules are actually very simple, the new pawn has no salary, of course, the gambling is every meal, rotated, and the loser each offers a little bread, a nest or something, and gives him the champion.

Sometimes, some pieces of meat, jerky, and cloudy wine will be brought down on it, and of course the Lord must be eaten and drunk first.

Don't look at this rule, although most of them are bread and nests, but Ling Hupo and Xu Shichang can make their stomachs no longer feel hungry every day.

That's so important.

After the first month of physical training in the training camp for new soldiers, there were 167 of the 300 people who ran alive and died, and there were 100 people who consciously quit the field to become slave laborers.

In other words, in the first half of the training camp, three percent of the new pawns quit if they couldn't hold on.

In the second month, the intensity of physical training will not decrease but also increase, and the new soldier must wear a 38-pound armor for long-distance running.

In the second half of the physical training, only seven people died running, but more than half of the people left the field.

Mother, we still want to leave this cheap life and go back to support our parents at home.

"Those guys are so useless."

On the castle, looking at the team like a turtle crawling, several commanders of the border army, the team leader, all scolded in unison.

When the pawns ran back to the castle, they all fell to the ground as if they had broken bones, gasping for air.

It wasn't until the sergeant major on the side scolded and whipped that he reluctantly got up.

The veterans all know that physical training is a ghost gate, and once you pass the ghost gate, the days ahead will not be difficult.

The slave laborers in the castle had to clean the stone fort every day, graze the horses, cattle and sheep, plough the land and farm, and maintain the armor and weapons of the soldiers.

The slave girls did their laundry, cooked, and were called to bed at night.

Slave laborers, every morning, can see the madman-like boy, named Ling Hupo's new pawn, who is still running alone.

After spending half a year in Panlong Castle, Ling Hupo was able to wear thirty-eight pounds of armor and run back and forth for twenty miles, without even breathing.

Not to mention the new soldiers, even those veterans and sergeant majors were impressed when they saw it.

In the second stage of ordnance skills training, swords, guns, archery, horseback riding and other training results, Linghupo is far ahead, a ride in the dust.

In the blink of an eye, the seven-month boot camp was a thing of the past.

The more than 100 new soldiers who have undergone basic military training are officially released, and the rest is to go to the battlefield with real knives and guns.

This is the biggest test of the transition from a recruit to a veteran and to an elite sergeant.

When most of the prisoners who were assigned here with the team went to do their heavy chores, Ling Hupo had already carried a bow and a sword, and together with other regular soldiers, stood under the sun to train hard and patrol.

After more than half a year of hard training, Ling Hupo and Xu Shichang have a lot of size, their bodies are as strong as oxen, and they have a lot of beards.

Someone once said:

The best warriors fought in the rain of swords and arrows, and the rain of blood.

The most elite armies have grown up in battle after battle.

The garrison is not a baby pimple, it is a mule or a horse, and it has to be pulled out and slippery.

At noon one summer day, the fat dun team who had not met for a long time, that is, the guy who rode a horse and led the new soldiers on the march on the first day, came again.

Everyone gave him a nickname behind his back, called Diao Fat.

Whenever Diao Pang appears in everyone's sight again, he knows that there is nothing good.

Only this time, his own face didn't seem to be as oily and slippery as usual, but gloomy and miserable.

"Everyone, listen up, it's time for you to make an appearance, grab your weapons, and follow me in an hour!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several ox carts were pushed, all with knives and bows and arrows.

Several veteran sergeants began to issue weapons to Ling Hupo and others, each with an unscabbarded ring knife, a bow and arrows.

When they heard that the weapons were going to be officially distributed, the recruits were excited.

Because the new pawns usually practice, they are all knives and guns made of wood, and in the later stage, they practice with real knives and guns, and at the end of the day's training, they have to be handed over to the armory.

Because the army's standard weapons are strictly controlled items.

Only when you become an official soldier, or when war comes, will you open the armory and distribute it.

The weapons issued to Linghu Po this time are obviously not new.

The ring head knife is either broken in the handle or there is a gap in the blade.

Such a knife made Hu Po suspect that it was dragged from the hands of the dead corpse when they were cleaning the battlefield.

If it didn't work well, it was replaced by several dead ghosts, and it went around and around in the hands of the new pawn.

After getting the weapon, except for a few knowledgeable soldiers such as Ling Hupo, most of them were excited, fiddling with the knives and bows in their hands, looking left and right and touching them.

A few couldn't help it, so they jingled and compared with each other.

With a bow and arrow in his hand, his mouth is accompanied by a snapping sound, just like a child's player's home.

For bows and arrows, Linghu Po is considered an expert here.

He examined his bow carefully and found that there were some problems with many of the bowstrings.

This bowstring is made of various beef tendons, fish intestines or animal intestines, commonly known as leather bands.

Rubber bands, most afraid of heavy rain or blisters, or not damp for a long time.

If the rubber band is blistered or damp, it will lose its elasticity, and if there is no elastic elastic band, the bow is waste.

The bowstring in Linghu Po's hand has basically been scrapped.

It shouldn't be a big problem to scare and scare people, but if you really use it to fight with people, it's not much different from sending people to death.

He also looked at Xu Shichang's hand, and it was all the same.

This knife is a little notched and barely usable, and it can be slashed and killed, but it can't be slackened in the bowstring.

Ling Hupo couldn't help frowning.

It's terrible, lives are at stake.

"Show me your bow!"

Without any nonsense, Ling Hupo threw the bow in his hand to the thin man next to him, and brutally snatched his bow away.

After a closer inspection, I found that my bow was no better than my own.

He snatched the bow from several companions in succession and checked it, and finally chose a large iron bow, the bowstring was still very good, and it should belong to the two-stone bow.

Xu Shichang also chose one, and a stone bow went up and down.

"If you enter the mother, don't play, hurry up and stand up for Lao Tzu and line up! Wait to look at your own weapon, this is your guy who eats, if someone's weapon is lost, Lao Tzu will unscrew his head as a night pot! ”

Several sergeant majors were shouting loudly, conveying the same meaning.

Weapons are the second life of a soldier!

This can be understood from the loud roars of these veteran sergeants.

The new pawns immediately did not dare to make a sound, and raised their heads to line up.

Most of the new pawns here have never been on the battlefield, except for a small number of bandits and horse bandits.

Don't look at their usual fierce spirits, pretending to say that they have killed people, but they actually don't understand anything, a rookie.

In particular, distinguishing between the good and bad of a knife and a bow is like looking at a woman, and only paying attention to the appearance and color.
