The selection was carried out as scheduled, the school was crowded, the students of the new second patrol, the selected children of each city, and the children of the nobles squatting in the city, accompanied by instructors and relatives, waited in the cold wind in the early morning.

Gao Yuan also never thought that the selection of the battalion, the test of the troops, and the recruitment of the pro-guard team would be three in one, and they would be assessed together in the same way.

The scene seems familiar, four years ago, the wind and snow were blowing, and a lonely person participated in the selection here, so as to become a standard battalion student, today as the captain of the guard to maintain order, everyone smiled and greeted everywhere he passed, and the orphan who blushed before he spoke, how could he not feel a thousand feelings.

"Xiao Yuanzi, are you thinking about your brother's stinky socks, hahaha. Qin Rufeng walked over with a smile, and Mei Ying, who was standing next to Gao Yuan, frowned and asked, "Senior, what tricks are you playing today, you are tired of this every year, are you tired." ”

"There's no way, you don't be evildoers, the assessment must be carried out, and the senior brother has to make it difficult. Qin Rufeng knew that she hated pranks, and still laughed and quipped: "You made your senior brother lose face back then, hehe, I didn't expect it to become a family now." Mei Ying turned her head and denied: "Who is a family with you, you haven't seen you behind closed doors these days, you can know how much Gao Yuan has been wronged, and you are not my senior brother." ”

"You're wrong to blame the seniors, they're protecting me. ”

These days, Gao Yuan has long figured out that the reason why his senior brother and sister did not see him and took the lead in threatening not to allow the patrol soldiers to sign up for the pro-guard team was because he made the best choice in desperation. They have the closest relationship with Lei Ming, so they not only give Lei Ming face, some friends come forward to retaliate in disguise, but also deter the others in the sixth grade and the heavy infantry patrol, we still dare not ask for justice directly, you better stay obediently and don't ask for trouble.

"Hmph, if you are bullied and say good things to others, you will be angry with my people. Although Gao Yuan was forced to fight back yesterday and drove away his childhood partner, Mei Ying was somewhat dissatisfied, and when she saw him defending her senior, she was even more angry, so she simply singled out: "The remaining three, no matter what the assessment results are, you have to enter the pro-guard, or you go to the senior sister for help, I will break off your friendship." ”

The cunning Qin Rufeng will not participate in the affairs of his children, he can slip away faster than a fox, what else can Gao Yuan do, he can only make amends and curry favor, but he has never agreed to the request for direct hiring.

"Okay, I know you're embarrassed, I'm not angry, hehe, if you can't get in with their strength, your personal guard team is guaranteed to recruit no one. ”

"By the way, what kind of identity are they, how can one be more arrogant than the other, it is said that you will not make such friends. Gao Yuan asked the details incomprehensibly, Mei Ying first winked mischievously, then gave him big white eyes, and replied half-truthfully: "Hmph, Miss Ben is accommodating to you, nobles who don't have a stinky temper, their families are all marquises at the earliest, you understand, you are a descendant of the hereditary reckless founder of the country, you offended people and harmed Miss Ben in the aftermath, how can you compensate me?"

Gao Yuan saw that no one was paying attention nearby, and leaned towards her boldly, but Mei Ying pushed her away, and scolded in a low voice: "I didn't have the courage that day, now I want to take advantage of it, I want to be beautiful, unless Miss Ben is willing in the future, you have to dare to move your hands and feet, be careful that your head is not protected." Hmph, it's only been a few days apart, and I'm guts, have I done anything bad, and I don't learn well with Yanzifeng. ”

Time flows quickly in a pair of children flirting and scolding, and the assessment is coming to an end in full swing.

In the center of the school field, the new second patrol soldiers who participated in the three rounds of tests began to assemble, Coach Qiu raised the horse whip, stood in front of the team with a cold face, and glared at the pair of dog men and women in the distance from time to time, and scolded in his heart: "Lao Tzu sings black face and suffers, the kid has the leisure to hook up with beautiful women, this world has turned over his grandmother, and Lao Tzu will give you a big surprise in a while." ”

The efficiency of the standard camp has been brought into full play, and even the three giants of the director, the chief accountant and the general secretary have rolled up their sleeves and are busy counting the results, and the three chief instructors can't care about wiping the sweat beads on their faces, shuttling back and forth in one office room, and the roar resounded throughout the corridor.

The number of applicants for the pro-guard team is eighty-five, all of whom are children of nobles, except for the three brought by Mei Ying, there are one more than one hundred and sixty-one guards, the total number of people has reached two hundred and forty-six, and it is planned to hire one hundred people, although the elimination rate is not high, but the competition is the most fierce. The instructors of the assessment were secretly frightened, where is this a cadet, it is clearly a group of real samurai competing, and the strength of many guards has reached the level of a military lieutenant, this is still Gao Yuan's deliberate age restriction, stipulating that the guards must not be more than twenty-five years old, otherwise I am afraid that even the martial arts school will be mixed in.

The admission list of the pro-guard team was announced, there was a master who lost the election and the guard won, and there was also a master who won and the guard was eliminated, the admission standards of the two are different, the guard is more strict, the master loses the guard and the guard will naturally not stay, and the list will be posted in public after comprehensive consideration.

"Let's go, it's our turn. Gao Yuan didn't get a bargain, and walked to the school field unhappily, Mei Ying snickered behind her, teasing as she walked: "If you have the courage to mess around in the army and take the lead in violating military discipline, I won't resist at all, whatever you want, giggle." ”

Whenever he encounters such an occasion, Gao Yuan always flees without a fight, wondering in his heart, how these aristocratic women are more open to the private relationship between men and women, if he knows that many aristocratic women have countless lovers, there is no shortage of people who have children before marriage, and the husband's family after marriage is not surprised, I don't know how to feel.

"Pro-Guards, assemble urgently!"

Depressed in his heart, his voice was also angry, Gao Yuan stood in the school yard and shouted, Li Changgong shouted repeatedly, the team members who had just won the quota were busy running from all directions, and no one wanted to fall behind when they gathered for the first time, not to mention the captain's ugly face.

Gao Yuan began to roll call, counted the twenty-five noble children, and shouted the order: "Yan Zifeng, temporarily serve as the first squad leader, take your people to the side, and temporarily assign the sentry commander." Yan Zi Feng saluted and replied loudly: "Obey!" waved his hand and led the nobles away.

There were seven aristocratic women, fifteen guards, plus Mei Ying and two partners, exactly twenty-five people, appointed Yan Ning as the temporary team leader, and after sending away, Gao Yuan continued to roll call, and the two teams of escort forty-eight people also appointed team leaders respectively, and half a pillar of incense was limited to complete the outpost, and only Li Longbow was left by his side.

"Captain, why is the coach also gathering the new second tour, don't you want us to fight?" It's not a loss to be a friend and a brother, Li Changgong guessed eight or nine without leaving ten, and Gao Yuan no longer concealed it, and explained to him: "After a while, let me be smart, and lie on the ground and pretend to be injured while people are not paying attention, so as not to suffer from my flesh and skin, I didn't even tell Mei Ying." Li Changgong nodded hurriedly and agreed: "It's time to let these nobles taste the hardships, and their eyes are on the top of their heads." ”

When the time for half a pillar of incense came, the four squad leaders brought people back to reorganize the team, Takagaki swept it, the three of Kyoto were not convinced, and the other people were not a little nervous on their faces, it seems that the prestige of the captain of the guard needs to be greatly improved. Li Changgong behaved well in front of everyone, according to Qin Rufeng's words, he had a good potential to be a ghost, and after the team was organized, he turned around on the spot, saluted and acted in a standardized manner, and reported in a loud voice: "Report to the captain, the pro-guard team should be up to 100 people, but it is actually up to 100 people, please speak." After Gao Yuan replied, he ordered him to return to the team, and Li Longbow cleverly got into the escort team, and he came forward to recruit him, and of course he would take care of it later.

"Congratulations on joining the Guards and having the qualifications to fight for the Empire. Now, listen to me, all of them, turn back!"

Gao Yuan didn't say nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Look at the team on the other side, the cadets of the new second patrol of the standard battalion, they have just finished the military selection test, the subjects are exactly the same as yours, and the physical consumption is roughly the same." For a while, the guards fought with their bare hands, and they were not allowed to kill them, they were not allowed to deliberately maim people, and there was no other restraint. Turn back!"

The pro-guard team turned around, all of them looked relaxed, a group of students were just a group of soldiers, one-on-one, three fists and two feet were guaranteed to be overturned, and the captain was too careful and weakened the name of the pro-guard.

"There is a drum and a horn beside me, you listen well, the drum sounds, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you must fight bravely, the horn sounds, no matter what is in front of you, as long as you can still move, you must immediately retreat to defense. I repeat, the drums do not stop, the charge does not stop, the horn sounds, and immediately retreat, this is a military order, and those who violate the order are strictly disciplined and ruthless. ”

"Chang Yunfei, simply repeat my order!"

"Yes! The drums beat non-stop, the charge did not stop, the horn sounded, and immediately retreated. Chang Yunfei strictly obeyed the military order and would never dare to disobey it in the slightest. ”

Takagaki nodded and spoke again: "Who hasn't heard yet, I can say it again." ”

"Understood!" the guards replied loudly, but there were fast and slow and chaotic, and Takagaki didn't care, walked a few steps to the noble young man in Kyoto and asked, "Do you understand my order?" The young man replied with displeasure in his heart: "Understood." Takagaki pretended not to hear the impatience in his tone, and ordered, "Okay, repeat it briefly." "The orders in the army are strict, the young people dare not confront the commander in public, and the lessons of yesterday are still in their hearts, and they can bear their anger and repeat the order loudly, word for word, word for word, and not according to etiquette to say and obey the order before reporting.

Coach Qiu on the opposite side raised the order flag to indicate that the preparations were complete, and Takagaki picked up the order flag from the drum stand, waved it a few times in the air, and signaled with the flag to wait for a while, and took the trouble to repeat the order again.

"The drums did not stop, the charge did not stop, the trumpets sounded, and immediately retreated. I repeated the order over and over again, and everyone said they understood. Now, all of them, turn back, and the teams form a battle formation, ready to charge!"

The four squad leaders ordered to prepare, and there were also smart people among the guards, and the captain repeatedly emphasized the simple order that this hand-to-hand combat would not be so simple, so he cheered up and prepared for battle, and more people were like warming up before playing.

The flag of the left hand was lowered, the drum hammer of the right hand was knocked on the drum surface, and the two teams of people launched a charge at the same time, and the drums of the pro-guard team were as dense as raindrops, and the slogan of the new second patrol resounded throughout the school field.

At the beginning, the two teams were like rainbows, and they exchanged hands for a moment to win or lose.

The pro-guards, the children of the nobles did not want to be behind the people, regardless of the formation to rush forward, even the women's team's martial arts made Takagaki surprised and delighted, those aristocratic women fists and feet like the wind, the new second patrol forwards retreated, the guards ignored the squad leader's shouts, and moved closer to the master who rushed forward, and the pro-guards had the upper hand for a while.

The gong of the new second patrol commander changed, the forward was divided into two, and spread out to both sides while facing the battle, and the three teams of infantry behind moved forward in a strict formation.

"Stay in formation!"

"Move closer to me!"

Yan Ning and Yan Zifeng both had actual combat experience, and saw that the situation was not good, so they were busy gathering the team, and the other two teams ignored the danger, laughed and continued to rush forward.

Takagaki sounded the horn and ordered the guards to take the opportunity to retreat, first disengage and then prepare for a second charge, the guards were better than the new second patrol in their individual force, and they might be able to win the battle if they collided a few more times.

The idea is good, but it's too difficult to execute.

Yan Ning jumped to stop a few female soldiers who only cared about rushing forward, and shouted with a threatening fist, the women's team was quite safe, retreating with the horn, gradually breaking away from the two wings of the new second patrol, the other three teams reacted differently to the corner, the noble team retreated a few steps and saw that someone was besieging their partners in front of them, and they accelerated their pace and rushed up again, Yan Zifeng lost his mind after a few punches, and chased after the students who beat him with two guards, and the others no longer fought in their own formations, relying on force to see defeat for the time being.

Gao Yuan's mouth was even sharper and more piercing, although it was a plan discussed with the coach, and he intended to teach the guards a lesson, but as the captain of the guards, he didn't want to lose too ugly, and he would surround most of the people with a charge.

The seemingly scattered formations on the two wings of the new second patrol tightened up with the sound of gongs, and they gave up chasing the women's guards who escaped from the encirclement, and quickly surrounded the other three teams. The guards finally saw that the situation was grim, the team leader yelled and shouted and ordered to retreat, but he lost his fighter and had no chance, the encirclement gradually narrowed, and there were fewer and fewer people who resisted, most of them became prisoners of the new second patrol, Yan Zifeng, Chang Yunfei and the young man in Kyoto were unwilling to be captured, so Coach Qiu ordered to be knocked out and tied up.

There were a large number of people outside the school grounds, the boys who participated in the selection, the nobles who sent their children to take the exams, and the other patrol soldiers in the standard camp, all of them had different thoughts, and this was still a pro-guard unit with a gathering of elites? How could it be that even the new Second Patrol Cadet soldiers who had not yet undergone actual combat training could not be defeated, and the defeat was so miserable and ugly, and it was not a shame to go on the battlefield.

Everyone in the retreating women's team bowed their heads, at this time everyone understood the captain's intentions, before three orders and five Shen let hear the sound of the horn and immediately retreat, now it's good, the other three teams have disobeyed the order, all become prisoners, the two women from Kyoto have their heads lower, in the chaos of the battle they clearly saw Mei Ying also punched and kicked, this is a battle with mercenaries or witch soldiers, at this time the two can only apologize with death, and the two founding mansions have since become a laughing stock.

According to the plan, the battle ended here, Gao Yuan's face turned pale and threw away the horn, who knew that the new second patrol on the opposite side was unexpected, Coach Qiu gave the order to charge again, and the students rushed towards the women's team of the guards with strange screams, wanting to turn this group of delicate women into defeated prisoners.

The situation is extremely critical, the pro-guard team is about to be wiped out, Gao Yuan didn't have time to say more, and gave an order sharply: "Mei Ying, take the women's team to a sentry, and immediately evacuate the flags and drums and horns from the school ground." The remaining four sentinels, battle formation, listen to my commands, and prepare to charge!"

Counter-charge, in a dangerous situation, knowing that he would be defeated, Gao Yuan ordered a counter-charge, just to win time for a post to escape, as long as the pro-guard team ordered the flag and war drums and horns not to fall into the hands of the new second patrol, this battle can still save some face, who knew that Mei Ying raised his foot and ran towards him, completely taking the order as a deaf ear, Gao Yuan was angry and didn't have time to think, kicked back with one leg, and roared in his mouth: "People can die, the flag will not fall, evacuate the order flag and war drum horn, quickly, quickly! Remember the glory of your nobles!"

Mei Ying couldn't help but pause after taking a kick, and then raised her head Gao Yuan had rushed to the opposite side like a whirlwind, and the four female sentries behind her shouted endlessly, and the tears were silent, turning her head and running to the war drums, and the four partners raised up and ran, and the new second patrol saw it and immediately divided its men to speed up the chase.

Gao Yuan's speed is second only to Qin Rufeng in the standard battalion students, the wishful thinking of the new second patrol soon failed, and he can't make a dead hand, the dragon eagle grappling hand is the best choice, and there is no mercy between shots, and more than a dozen people in the new second patrol are screaming in pain on the ground, so that the women's guard team that follows behind immediately kicks and faints, and these women have all become dead soldiers who charge at this moment.

The heroes couldn't stand the crowd, the women around him lost the strength to resist one by one, Gao Yuan was difficult to rescue, and he didn't know how many punches and kicks he had received, but he still held on to intercept the pursuers. In the melee, Yan Ning jumped in front of her, allowing Gao Yuan to dodge a heavy punch, but she took a few punches and fell to the ground and became a prisoner, Gao Yuan almost forgot that this was a competition, and waited for luck to kill with a roar, Yan Ning endured the pain and burst into laughter: "Mei Ying, when they arrive outside the school field, our order flag will not be lost!"

Takagaki came to his senses when he heard the sound, and his heart was relieved, and his fists and feet slowed down a little, so that a few new second patrol soldiers unceremoniously overturned on the spot, untied his belt and tied it firmly, and a heavy infantry took the opportunity to kick him a few times to vent his depression a few days ago, and the pain made Takagaki burst into tears.

Outside the school field, Mei Ying handed over the bell and battle drum horn to the gentle standard commander who watched, and looked at the four partners one by one, and said in a cold voice: "Except for the five of us, the captain of the pro-guard team was captured, as a nobleman, I would rather die than endure this humiliation, do you dare to fight with me again?"

The women's team was full of nobles, two of whom were Kyoto partners, and one of them stroked his chest and shouted: "I'd rather die than be humiliated, we will go back with the sentry commander." The other three nodded tearfully.

"For the glory of the nobility, the first post of the women's team, listen to my command, battle formation, charge!"

Without hesitation, the five women returned to the school and charged at the new Second Patrol, which had stopped to reorganize the team, and the previous chatter outside the school field quickly calmed down with their footsteps.

The pro-guards, the pro-guards that have not yet been formally formed, although the battle is still glorious, they keep the battle drum and horn of the Lingqi war, if this is the battlefield, it is to protect the Lingbo Feiyan battle flag with a hundred lives, and there is no humiliation of the pro-guard mission, the only five remaining female soldiers launched a mortal charge, in order to maintain the glory of the nobles, it makes this competition red-eyed and can't help crying.

"All, face the flag guard and salute!" Coach Qiu gave an order, and the new second patrol saluted the women who rushed to the school, and then quickly evacuated the school according to the order.

Outside the school grounds, the nobles caressed their chests with one hand and hung down on their legs, saluting sincerely to the flag guard post in order to maintain the glory of the nobility, and the boys and students also paid tribute according to their own etiquette.
