Chapter XVII: Cavalry Instructors
"My surname is Qiu, Coach Qiu, you can call me Enemy, Stinky Coach, Scarface, whatever you want, just don't be discovered by Lao Tzu. ”
In the standard camp school field, the new 1st Patrol Cavalry is standing in infantry formation, and is being lectured by the new instructor.
"After I announce the list of sentinels, each sentry runs to get their equipment, and in half an hour they must assemble in front of the military flag by the lake, which is what you call the Happy Lake. ”
After announcing the first sentinel, Coach Qiu looked up at the sky and paused for a moment, and everyone somehow pestled in front of him like a stake, and then there was an angry roar from the school ground.
"Isn't what Lao Tzu said clear enough! After announcing the list of sentry commanders, run to get equipment, sentry chief, what are you bastards waiting for, don't give Lao Tzu a quick get! Remember, this is the first time, you have two more chances left, the chance to be a sentry commander. ”
"Yes, instructor!" The head of the sentry blushed and had a thick neck, and promised to take the sentry away, but Coach Qiu was furious when he heard it: "Coach, Coach Qiu, not an instructor, Lao Tzu hates that title, one will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies! You have another chance!"
"Yes, Coach!" One of the sentry commanders ran away with the people, and the rest of the people didn't even dare to come out, and they went twice in three chances, and the position of the sentry chief seemed too unreliable.
The sentry commander of the second post is Li Zihui, this kid is elf enough, and he finally didn't make a mistake.
"The third whistle, excellence, Gao Yuan, Li Changgong, Liu Xinjie, Chang Hai, whistle chief excellence. ”
The original three teams and one sentry personnel have not changed, Li Longbow, who is determined to be a sharpshooter, and Chang Hai, who vowed to bring glory to the heavy infantry, actually entered the cavalry team after the list was announced, so that everyone in the new patrol felt admired.
Chang Hai and Li Changgong went to the old instructor to ask, and the answers they got made people laugh and cry, and they had to accept the result. Archers also need sharpshooters, and heavy cavalry need strength. The list was agreed upon by the three chief instructors and the cavalry instructor, and the military orders were never changeable.
The five brothers gathered in the cavalry team, Chang Hai and Li Longbow quickly threw away the depression, the old instructor was right, the archers and heavy horses are also suitable for the growth of the two. Unexpectedly, they were still in a sentry rank, none of the five people had changed, and even the sentry commander was still outstanding rather than Gao Yuan, and the five of them were obviously a little stunned.
Coach Qiu didn't roar this time, but looked at the five people and laughed: "Three teams and one whistle, the title forever, Lao Tzu likes it, take the title of the first whistle in the future, hahaha, don't get out of here!"
"Yes, Coach!" Excellence shouted and led the brothers to run away, the coach did not deduct him from the opportunity to be the sentry commander, probably forgetting it for a moment, and it would be a fool not to run again.
The three sentinels ran away, and the remaining two sentinels were dumbfounded, and the five people were divided into three posts at the same time, and the vicious scar-faced instructor made an exception and did not punish excellence, which is such a thing, it is obviously unfair, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.
"In the cavalry team, there are only orders, no discussion, you think it is unfair, and you have the right to report it to the chief instructor after training. Now you must obey military orders!"
The roar of the school field was intermittent, until the fifth whistle ran away, Coach Qiu quieted down, walked quickly to the shade of the tree on the side of the school field, where a sturdy horse was tethered, first touched the horse's head and muttered a few words, Coach Qiu turned over and jumped on the horse's back, galloping away in the long neighing of the horse.
Brand new leather armor, shiny high-waisted riding boots, a standard saber shining with cold light, and a bunch of copper harnesses, the three sentinels and five people received the equipment and loaded into the military bag, Excellence was about to give the order to run towards Happy Lake to gather, Gao Yuan reminded in a low voice: "Excellence, do you want to go back to the room and change into a cavalry uniform." ”
"The instructor didn't say we were going to change clothes, and besides, we didn't see the horses. Chang Hai couldn't put it down, flicking his delicate horsewhip and looking at Takagaki in bewilderment.
"What do you think, brothers?" Zhuo Zhuo asked for everyone's opinions, and Li Changgong scolded dissatisfiedly: "Come less, you are the sentry commander, and the order is, we just happened to have an official addiction if we made a mistake, haha." But I think Takagaki is right, we are cavalry, and it is not appropriate to wear infantry uniforms. ”
Zhuo Zhuo immediately gave the order: "Run back to the room and change the cavalry equipment." Start - Run. He didn't look back and shouted while running: "Speed up, you must not fall behind the four whistles to gather!"
By the happy lake, under the banner of a pole Xu Jun, there were six wooden stakes erected, and Instructor Qiu stood in front of the wooden stake with a cold face, staring at the sentry commander with hatred for a while, and staring at the sentry commander for a while, but he didn't say a word, only the horse whip in his hand whirled, and the people of the first and second sentry really doubted that they would be pumped on them in the next moment.
The three sentinels and five people ran all the way, and finally everyone was not slow, and they completed the formation under the military flag one day earlier than the fourth outpost. The five men were all dressed in black cavalry uniforms, covered with dark brown leather armor, with sabers hanging from the belts around their waists, and the scabbards touching the high-waisted riding boots under their feet.
Coach Qiu stepped in front of Excellence in a few steps and stood still, and the words he said made the other two sentinels ashamed, and there was clear jealousy and remorse in his eyes when he looked at the three sentinels.
"Good job! But now it's not on horseback, it's still during training, you can't be mistaken about the saber hanging from your waist, but it's not good for drawing your sword and slashing, as a future samurai, you must be ready to fight at any time. Untie the knife and follow my instructions and carry the knife behind your back. ”
Coach Qiu first did a quick action, and then explained separately, two movements, a back knife and a knife drawing, decomposed and explained carefully and thoughtfully, and patiently corrected the subtle mistakes of the five people from time to time, until the five people fully understood, and did it a few times in the password without flaws, Coach Qiu was satisfied with letting the five people rest, and at this time, the fifth post also ran to the military flag to stand in line for a long time.
Five sentinels, only the three sentinels and five sentinels of the female soldiers are changed to equipment and run to gather, Coach Qiu taught the three sentinels, and patiently demonstrated and explained to the female sentinels, with the precedent of the three sentinels, the female sentinels did not learn for long, the practice of the movements was uniform, corrected a few small mistakes, and issued an order to let the female sentinel carry the knife and draw the knife according to the order, to see if there was no mistake, Coach Qiu turned around and returned to the military flag.
"Wearing an infantry uniform to participate in the cavalry assembly, hehe, it really gave me a long insight! I have finished teaching the first lesson today. The next time you gather to check the two-style movements, if anyone is not standard, go back to the infantry team as soon as possible, it is easy to manage with fewer people, and besides, there are a lot of people lining up behind to want to enter the cavalry. ”
After a long period of cynicism, Coach Qiu finally got back to business.
"Bring it here!"
With a cold shout, the sound was like a thunderbolt, and the guards in the distance heard the order and walked over with a group of handcuffed and shackled men.
Old and young, men and women, all unkempt and frail looking frail, dragged and tied to a stake by the guards, looking helplessly at the cadets with desperate eyes.
"The second lesson, the courage to kill. War horses can only be controlled by warriors with murderous spirits, because warriors can make themselves and war horses live for a long time. Warriors who dare not kill are not qualified to have war horses, and they are not the mounts of Miss Childe looking for flowers and asking the moon, but the companions who accompany the warriors in battle. ”
Anticipating the content of the second lesson, everyone in the cavalry turned bitter. chose the samurai, chose to fight on the battlefield, and sooner or later they always had to kill someone, or be killed, but when this scene appeared in front of them, the soldiers were not psychologically prepared. Killing people is not a trial to fight a beast, a living person must be killed by his own hands, or in public.
"Sentry Commander, now I give you a chance to prove to me that your courage qualifies you to continue as a Sentry Chief. Get out of the ranks, kill him!"
Coach Qiu casually pointed to a wooden stake, where an old man happened to be tied, and when he heard the order, he opened his mouth to shout, but the leather rope around his neck made the old man only whimper.
A sentry commander, a young man with thick eyebrows and a big mouth, walked out of the ranks, reluctantly took the short knife handed by the guards, walked to the stake, trembled all over, and did not dare to raise the knife. The comrades of the cavalry looked at the poor companion and the poor old man on the stake, and hung their heads, and several female soldiers were even more tearful.
"Raise your head, or get out of the cavalry!" Coach Qiu roared again: "These are just prisoners, death row prisoners, any of them deserve death, but even so, it makes you lose the courage to kill, and you are still the elite of the Lingbo Standard Battalion, joke!"
The cadets raised their heads, and saw that the trembling hands of the sentry commander finally raised the short knife, as if it was holding a thousand catties of boulders, and the face of the sentry commander could not be seen, only the trembling back and legs, telling him of his struggle at the moment.
"As the first to come out on the list, don't say the coach didn't give you a chance. Coach Qiu said and approached the sentry commander, and the words in his mouth suddenly became calm: "The first two opportunities, you lost some wrongs, but they will also make mistakes." For the sake of fairness, the coach will help you!"
Before the words fell, I saw Coach Qiu holding a sentry long wrist with one hand, and the short knife stabbed into the old man's chest and abdomen one after another, and the last knife was inserted into the old man's heart.
A guard went over to help a sentry commander, his front body almost let the blood spray all over, even his face was stained with a few bright red blood, tears fell silently, and the blood on his face was scattered, which made it even more terrible and pitiful, and the female soldiers were no longer able to restrain themselves when they saw this, and they bent over and vomited, and Mei Ying was no exception.
A sentry commander walked back to the team and killed someone, although he was forced to kill, but the fifteen-year-old student soldier could not get out of the fear for a while.
"Takagaki is out of the ranks!"
Coach Qiu's words came out, Gao Yuan stepped forward and saluted, still cursing in his heart, yes, it's a curse, I'm not the sentry chief, why is it my turn to be the second one, damn Scarface, Gao Yuan hated the instructor for the first time in three years, and cursed the instructor for the first time in his heart. In the past, no matter how strict the instructor was in training, no matter how painful the long stick he drew on his body, Takagaki never resented.
"Finish scolding me in your heart? Coach Qiu said and pulled out the short knife with his own hands, pinched the tip of the knife and handed it to Gao Yuan, and the words in his mouth were mocking: "The first place in the new first tour, I didn't let you take care of the first shot, what's the matter, I want Scarface to help you!"
There was a woman tied to the stake, who didn't look very old and was quite handsome, and Takagaki couldn't help but guess how such a delicate woman could be a heinous death row criminal.
"Hehe, don't underestimate her, in order to seize the family property, this lovely little lady, but she poisoned more than ten lives of her husband's family one after another, and even the eighty-year-old grandfather did not let go, and-"
Coach Qiu was still waiting to continue to stimulate Gao Yuan, when he saw the knife light waving, Gao Yuan threw down the short knife and retreated, and the young woman's head rolled to the ground after a while, and the blood on her neck was like a fountain, spraying Coach Qiu who was ready to help Gao Yuan was all over his face, and Gao Yuan, who had already withdrawn, did not even stick to a single blood spot.
Coach Qiu didn't get angry but laughed: "Hahaha, it's good, it's worthy of being a hunter, I grew up in the remnant of the army since I was a child, it's bold enough!
"This kid!" Coach Qiu shook his head and continued to call out the next name.
Twenty-five people and twenty-five death row inmates, each of whom must kill one, and in the end, this is the end, and the ruthless trainees can't get down, the coach and the guards will help, and the female soldiers are all letting the female guards half-hold the knife in both hands, and the five people have also completed the course of killing courage.
After killing people, the first day of the cavalry team was over, Coach Qiu patted his buttocks, and rode away with a bloody horse, and the people of the cavalry team returned to the camp with the guards, and there was a dead silence in the back half of the entire station, and no one left the room even after eating.
