Chapter 56 Selection

"Meet the General."

Before Li Yu could reach the gate of the military camp, Xu An, the commander of the personal guard camp, and Xu Zhan, the commander of the cavalry battalion, had already brought the commanders in the army to greet him.

"Please get up."

After helping him for a while, Li Yu led the school officials into the camp.

On the vast school ground, flags were flying, and the five thousand cavalry battalions and one thousand personal guards were already quietly arranged there, the queue was extremely neat, everyone's faces were filled with sharpness, and a heroic fighting spirit filled the air, as if dispelling the cold in the air.

When Li Yu walked to the middle of the high platform, six thousand soldiers knelt on the ground: "Greetings to the general."

After the draw was raised, the soldiers all got up, Li Yu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Today, I came here, and there are two things. One thing, I have asked the king to make the name of you and others. Two things, I will select the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to enter the guard camp. I will give the best of the two battalions the flags of each battalion. I hope you will live up to the name of Da Zhao."

"The Great Zhao is mighty and the General is mighty." After Li Yu said that, the soldiers agreed with a loud promise, and their fighting spirit rose instantly.

"The martial arts performance begins."

Xu An went up and shouted, and the six thousand soldiers scattered in an orderly manner. They led their own teams to maintain order and prepared for the competition according to the previous plan.

This competition was a martial arts exercise for selecting soldiers from the cavalry battalion into the cavalry battalion. After the siege of Handan was lifted, Li Yu set a rule for the cavalry battalion and the cavalry battalion, that is, the last-place elimination system.

Both military camps were trained according to a score system, and rehearsed the rankings according to the scores during daily training, including those school ranks and school officials below the lieutenant, and were eliminated once a month. While waving the big stick, there was also bounty encouragement. According to the ranking, the top 100 soldiers in the cavalry battalion received rewards ranging from 100 to 1,000 yuan, and the top 100 soldiers in the personal guard camp received rewards ranging from 500 to 5,000 yuan.

Every month, the guard camp and the cavalry battalion will conduct a martial arts exercise, and the top 100 of the guard camp and the top 100 of the cavalry battalion will compete. If someone in the top 100 of the cavalry battalion defeats the soldiers in the top 100 of the guard camp, the winner can go straight to the guard camp, and the last soldier in the guard camp will be replaced and lowered to the cavalry battalion. The defeated guard will also be punished, that is, the soldier who defeated him will be called the eldest brother, meaning that his skills are inferior to others.

The soldiers all knew that the meals of the Qinwei Battalion were three meals a day, with two meals with meat. The military pay of the Qinwei Battalion was three times that of the Cavalry Battalion, and the bounty of the 100 people in front of the Qinwei Battalion was five times that of the Cavalry Battalion. What's more, the armor of the Qinwei Battalion was specially made, and each person had their own name printed on the armor. The treatment of the two was a world of difference.

With the last-place elimination system set by Li Yu, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion held their breath and wanted to enter the personal guard camp. The soldiers of the personal guards were practicing hard and unwilling to fall down. That was really embarrassing. Especially those top 100 personal guards, who said that the other party's eldest brother was more painful than punishing him for a monthly salary, so they naturally tried their best to give the other party a good look.

There is a big difference between food and training. The top 100 in the personal guard battalion is definitely the best in the army. If the soldiers of the cavalry battalion can defeat the top 100 in the personal guards, they are definitely qualified to be the best in the army.

The competition was divided into three categories: force, archery and riding. Two wins in three games. After the 100 cavalry battalions drew on the spot, they started the competition. For a moment, there were enthusiastic shouts in the school field.

Archery and riding are not bad, but they only test their personal riding and shooting skills, but the force requires two soldiers to fight to determine the winner.

At this moment, the two sides of the competition were not comrades, but opponents fighting for honor. When they were fighting, they were all fist-to-handed, which made the soldiers watching next to them excited.

"Brother Xu, do you think how many soldiers can be promoted to the personal guard camp today?" Sitting on the platform, Li Yu drank warm water, looked at the hot competition venue, and asked Xu An beside him.

"Not ten is enough." Xu An, who was mature and steadfast, said lightly.

"Brother, don't look down on my cavalry battalion." After hearing my elder brother's words, Xu Zhan, who was standing next to him, was dissatisfied. Li Yu's arrangements were obviously thinking that the personal guard camp was more than the cavalry battalion. In order to be proud, Xu Zhan tried his best to train his soldiers this month. He believed that the top 10 in his camp was definitely a good match for one against ten.

After glanced at his hot-tempered younger brother, Xu An looked at the scene without saying anything, and bursts of cheers burst out from the scene.

After half an hour of competition, the results have come out.

"Report to the general, this time the eight people in the personal guard camp were defeated." The Chinese military affairs came on stage with an excited look on the face of excitement to report the results of the military exercise. As a civil servant, he was shocked several times when he saw such a strong soldier. If the soldiers of the Great Zhao were like this, why worry about the Great Zhao's failure to rise?

"Okay, line up and get a master."

The result, as Xu An expected, was a bit beyond Li Yu's expectations. His original idea was to think that it would be good to have five people win. After all, the conditions at the beginning of the selection of the personal guard camp were extremely strict, and its physique and force were definitely the best among Li Mu's army. He was a soldier who had been through many battles with the Xiongnu. Li Yu's movement almost emptied the most elite soldiers under Li Mu's hands. In addition, the food of the professional guard camp soldiers was too good and the training intensity was much greater. The top 100 soldiers in the personal guard camp could be considered among the top 100, or even among the top 10, among any of the 100 troops in the Zhao State.

Even if the cavalry battalion soldiers whose food and training intensity are much worse, it will be extremely difficult to defeat the top 100 in the guard camp. What Li Yu didn't know was that Xu Zhan secretly increased the training intensity and tried to squeeze out every piece of strength of the cavalry battalion soldiers, and never waste a meal of meat every day. Although there is a gap between the top 100 in the guard camp of 5,000 people and the top 100 in the guard camp of 1,000 people, it is not very big. If Li Yu knew about it, he would definitely feel distressed, but his soldiers were his treasures on which he relied on.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yu sent the armor of the blacksmith in the army with the name of the winner to the eight newly won soldiers, and encouraged them a few words to remember the names of the soldiers. The eight soldiers who were taken off their personal guard armor had a flash of fire. I think that even if they fell from the cavalry battalion, they would train harder and regain their lost dignity as soon as possible.

"We will never let down the name of the personal guard." The eight soldiers changed into armor on the spot, and half-kneeled down and shouted out their thoughts excitedly.

At this moment, six thousand soldiers knelt down together. Whether they were competitors or not, the strong were always respected. The martial arts factor had long been integrated into the bloodline of the Zhao people.
