Time flies, the sun and the moon shuttle, and it is another spring.

With the instructor's carefully prepared protective net on his head, and his partners accompanying him day and night, the new patrol soldiers have more free time than the seniors.

People are changing, the environment is also changing, people and the environment are familiar with each other in the constant change, people are transforming the form of the environment in the exploration, and the environment imperceptibly affects people's mentality.

The standard camp stands up five buildings, like tall sentinels, overlooking the small courtyard at the foot, and the passing students can't help but pay attention.

The school field, with five neat squares, is the new first patrol that is preparing for the selection of the army and the troops.

The regular army of the empire is divided into three branches: infantry, cavalry, and water, and the cavalry is particularly elite. The new first patrol has a cavalry formation, but there are enough three teams of more than one cavalry to choose cavalry, and only through the strength test can the fittest be the fittest.

"Three years ago, you took the test here and became a member of the standard camp. Today, you have passed the homework test, and many of you are standing here, facing the first choice in your life, choosing the class, choosing your teammates, and choosing different paths. ”

The phalanx was silent, and the cadets gave the chief instructor's answer with firm eyes: everyone's choice was reported to go to winter, and no one regretted it at this time.

"The standard camp gives you the freedom to choose independently, but the instructor also reserves the right to choose people, and if you want to make your choice successful, you can only let the instructor recognize your strength. With faster speed, stronger strength, and more tenacious fighting, you can win the glory that belongs to the samurai!"

"Standard battalion students, unparalleled martial arts!"

After Chief Instructor Qin finished his short lecture, the team erupted into a neat shout and dispersed. A sergeant had already run over with a heavy backpack to put on the back of the cadets.

Speed assessment: 50 pounds of weight to march quickly, a mountain road back and forth 30 miles.

After checking the equipment, the cadets found their positions in the school yard by number, and the various teams and posts completely disrupted the formation, and no one had their teammates by their side.

"Boom!"

The horn sounded, and the school soldiers ran away, at this moment there were no partners but opponents, and a moment's delay may be the backwardness of the rankings.

At the moment when the cannon sounded, Gao Yuan shot out of the school field like a sharp arrow leaving the bowstring, squeezed into the leading small team, and his feet were still accelerating, and when he ran to the back door of the standard camp, he pulled down the second student soldier by a big cut.

"What a speed, isn't this kid crazy, thirty miles. ”

The instructors and seniors watching at the school gate shook their heads in unison, the rapid march with weight is not a sprint race, the speed can rely on endurance, and Gao Yuan's behavior is not advisable at all in the eyes of experienced instructors, far less mature than Mei Ying and Zhuo Zhuo, who know how to maintain the lead while trying to adjust the breathing rhythm.

There are flags planted along the road, guarded by the guard sergeant, the high wall is like a gust of wind drifting by, throwing down a suspicious gaze behind him, the military camp reveres the strong, such a speed The guards also think that they can't achieve it, I hope this student soldier can keep it, but I'm afraid it's difficult.

Running away from the back door, there is a familiar lake in front of you, how many nights in three years, holiday nights, teenagers are singing and dancing by the lake with stars and moons, how many teenagers' minds are contained in the lake, there are unspeakable shyness when youth sprouts, there is also a short-term confusion on the road to growth, and more is the joy and laughter after throwing away the knot.

The flag that pointed the way clearly understood that it was necessary to swim through the lake, and the opposite shore was about a mile away, and there was still residual ice on the lake, and the flag fluttering on the boat in the lake really looked like an instructor sneering at his teeth, and in fact there were instructors standing on the boat sneering.

"Instructor Qiu, are you choosing cavalry or sailors, you can use them so ruthlessly, they are only fifteen years old after all. ”

When the route was chosen, the gentle instructor objected to swimming in the lake, winter went to spring, and the lake water in early spring was biting cold, so that the girls of the fifth team could swim in this cold lake, and the new cavalry instructor was as hateful and terrible as the scar on his face.

Instructor Qiu looked to be in his thirties, standing straight at the bow of the boat, his military uniform was tight on his body, and a purple-red scar on his left cheek, hearing the gentle instructor complaining again, looking at the figure in the distance who pounced into the lake without hesitation, the scar twitched a few times, and it was rare to explain that it was the reason that persuaded the three chief instructors in the first place.

"The war horse is the companion of the cavalry, not a tool for him to travel. There was a shortage of horses in the Empire, and it was difficult to equip every knight with pack horses and walking horses. More often than not, the cavalry is marching with horses, and the cavalry who can't run fast is still the infantry, and there is no reason for them to waste their precious horses. ”

"Hmph, my disciples are going to freeze sick, and I will let the sugar rooster deduct from your money for the treatment fee!"

"Ruthless enough!" Gao Yuan did not hesitate to plunge into the lake, a bone-chilling cold first came from his feet and neck, and Gao Yuan secretly slandered Chief Instructor Qin in his heart. On such a cold day, swimming past the lake that looks like it is a mile wide, is this an assessment or a deliberate toss. The clothes of the whole body quickly soaked the lake, and the cold was still secondary, and the soaking wet military uniform added weight to the resistance, and also made the resistance in the water stronger, and the speed of the high wall gradually slowed down as he swam.

"Mistake, you should take off your military uniform first and then go into the water!" Takagaki realized that he had made a mistake, and there was a sound of slapping the water not far behind him, and it was the people behind him who chased after him.

Excellence rolled up his clothes and tied them to his military bag, struggling to swim against the cold waters, peeking a few times in front of him.

There, Mei Ying was paddling with her pink arms, quickly chasing after Gao Yuan.

Excellence scolded himself in his heart, annoyed why he only took off his coat just now, and at this time, the water in his clothes not only slowed down, but also made his whole body extremely uncomfortable. If you don't look at this stunning beauty, she doesn't hesitate to fade off her long clothes inside and out, and there are only tight shorts and shorts left on her body.

"Takagaki you'd rather have grace than speed. Giggles, I'm going to overtake you. Mei Ying swam quickly towards Gao Yuan, and her mouth did not forget to laugh and provoke. It is also a tactic that disrupts the opponent's mind and thus disrupts the rhythm of breathing. Perhaps only the girl herself knows that this seemingly ordinary partner is usually deliberately disguised and has never shown real strength. Subconsciously, Mei Ying has long regarded Takagaki as the strongest opponent. Hoping that he will be stronger, but afraid that he will surpass himself, the girl's mind that has just opened her feelings is inexplicable, Mei Ying often anesthetizes herself: This is sympathy, not admiration, how could Miss Ben fall in love with this wooden villain.

"Don't think!" Gao Yuan roared in his heart, his hands and feet were used at the same time, and his speed was a little faster again, but soon the sound of water behind him approached again, and Mei Ying still caught up. The strength is almost the same, and Gao Yuan's soaked clothes have become the most fatal obstacle at this moment.

"I must not lose, for the sake of Grandpa Gun, for the sake of the three thousand soldiers who died in battle!"

Gao Yuan learned about the battle in which Grandpa Gun was wounded from the mouths of the two chief instructors of Hua and Qin. Imperial Xiao cavalry, the elite of the elite, there are only six battalions in the entire empire, and Grandpa Gun once commanded a battalion, and the two chief instructors of Hua and Qin were the standard commanders of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at that time, and they were also the disciples of Grandpa Gun.

Before the start of the war, Grandpa Gun made an exception, did not let the two disciples go into battle, and sent them to the Kyoto Military Headquarters for some reason, and when the two heard the war report, the palace secret guard had already escorted Grandpa Gun to prison, which was a direct order from the imperial king to cross the military department and the criminal department. Later, Grandpa Gun was released from prison, deprived of his military position, and sent far away to the Changqing Village Remnant Courtyard, a poor country that the imperial military department had only turned out of the roster with great difficulty.

Grandpa Gun lost the ability to speak, and he didn't want to talk about the course of that battle, so the two disciples did not give up and took the remaining brothers of the Xiaocai battalion to the battlefield that day. On the battlefield, but see one tomb after another, huge tombs standing quietly in the wilderness, it is the Sunset Empire that has collected the corpses of soldiers killed on both sides. According to the usual estimate in the army, nearly 20,000 male soldiers were buried in that tomb, and 3,000 cavalry with more than five times the enemy, which became the dry bones of the tomb in the wilderness.

The only survivor was reluctant to tell the truth, and the course of the battle became a deep secret of the two empires, and even the military history of both sides was only lightly touched upon, and then even these few sentences were missing.

Mei Ying was about to catch up with Gao Yuan, and suddenly found that he had plunged into the lake. Snorkeling, you idiot, it's harder to keep up your speed in the water. Mei Ying cursed a few words and swam towards the shore of the lake at an accelerated speed, leaving Excellence far behind.

In autumn, the lake is no more than two feet deep, and after a winter, the water level will definitely drop. Takagaki was not mistaken, and soon after diving into the water, he reached the bottom of the lake. There is no need to worry about the waterproof military bag, but fortunately, thanks to the heavy military bag, Gao Yuan can barely stand firm at the bottom of the lake.

Laboriously taking off his military uniform and tying it tightly to his military bag with his belt, Takagaki bent down and fumbled to untie the iron bars from his legs. No one knows, in the past three years, Gao Yuan started with sandbags, and later tied iron bars to his calves, training with everyone every day, taking classes together, playing together, with the heavy weight of his legs, never showing the slightest abnormality.

Throwing away the iron bar, without the obstacle of the water-soaked military uniform, Gao Yuan surfaced only in shorts, Mei Ying's pink arms in front of him were like white lotus roots paddling left and right in the blue water, Gao Yuan was busy trying to stabilize his breathing, and quickly chased after him with his hands and legs, leaving a white flower line behind him.

Mei Ying and Gao Yuan swam to the lake almost at the same time, leading the excellence by more than ten zhang. Without hesitation, Takagaki rushed to the shore of the lake and then climbed over the embankment, leaving only a momentary impression in Mei Ying's eyes. Mei Ying squatted down angrily, put on her wet military uniform neatly, and then ran out of the lake, less than a foot faster than Excellence.

"Damn daughter!"

Gao Yuan had already rushed into the mountains and forests, and he couldn't even see his figure, Mei Ying scolded and chased after him, knowing that no one could catch up with Gao Yuan in the speed competition. A child who grew up in the mountains and forests, the mountains and forests are his home field.

There are too many factors that affect running in the trees of the mountain road, and Takagaki jumped over a broken log blocking the way, and fell to the ground when his feet landed, and his body rolled rapidly, just in time to flash a net pocket that fell from the tree. The trap set by the instructor may be able to trap other trainees for a while, but it will not be difficult to fall to Gao Yuan, who has been hunting in the mountains and forests since childhood.

Swinging the branches over the deep pit, another obstacle set by the instructor was broken, on the mountainside, next to the flag at the midpoint, the general instructor Hua looked at the high wall that ran over with a happy face, and stretched out his hand from afar, and held a small iron card indicating the midpoint.

Stopping and saluting the instructors, Takagaki took the iron plaque with both hands, turned around and followed the instructions of the flag, and ran from another mountain road to the finish line, with the instructors complimenting him behind him.

At the gate of the standard camp, the idlers of Lingpo City were mixed with characters with different thoughts, crowded behind the guards, waiting for the first student to sprint.

On the road, he wrung out his military uniform and put it on, and when Takagaki turned into the runway in front of the gate, he looked as neat as he set off, but he was sweaty and not as fast as when he went out.

The crowd cheered and saw Gao Yuan run into the gate and run towards the school grounds, and people seemed to have seen that this young man picked up the first place arrow from the finish line, and from then on became the benchmark of the standard camp students, and would surely enjoy his own glory.
