At this time, due to the 100,000 imperial troops who have slowly moved in over the past half month, and the transportation teams transporting grain and grass from all over Dongxun, the current Lingyang County has become

A military city through and through.

Following Dongxun's order, the original residents of Lingyang County spontaneously organized their luggage and moved elsewhere, leaving all their houses unconditionally to the Dongxun army to be stationed as military camps.

It is even said that there is a recruitment document posted at the gate of the county. Since the end of the Forbidden Army's martial arts competition that day, Captain Hu has eliminated all the arrogance of the originally proud and arrogant Forbidden Army with a record of 100 victories.

, Shen Baoxu then ordered the promotion of Xiao Lieutenant to the Chief War Supervisor for this battle. He was ranked higher than the four generals in Dongxun's country and was in charge of all the training plans of the Dongxun army for the conquest of Nanli.

After Colonel Hu took office, with the strong support of Shen Baoxu behind him, he issued several military orders in succession. From the beginning, the various orders of the commander-in-chief, who were usually domineering and only interested in enjoying themselves, were put under control.

As a result, a lot of bad things were said about Lieutenant Hu behind his back, and several captains even signed a petition to impeach Captain Hu, and they went directly to Shen Baoxu.

But after they looked at Shen Baoxu's meaningful smile, these guys understood that the supporter behind Captain Hu's reform was their military leader Shen Baoxu.

Because of Shen Baoxu's identity and seniority, it was not convenient for him to do this in person, but if he was not able to do it in person, it did not mean that he could not do it.

Anyway, Captain Hu's status is sufficient, and his qualifications are even more senior. Shen Baoxu felt relieved to leave this matter to him.

And judging from the results, in just a few days, at least the veteran soldiers will no longer be as careless and careless as they are now when they organize training in the army, including the formation of the ranks among them.

Instead of the laziness of the past, although it cannot be said to be very good, overall, at a glance, this army does not look that bad.

Later, Lieutenant Hu suggested to Shen Baoxu that Shen Baoxu should issue a conscription order. Since the opponent was a big boss like Zhou Dunyi, the more troops we have here, the better.

Are the recruits' quality and combat effectiveness poor?

No matter how bad the soldier is, in the eyes of Shen Baoxu and Hu Xiaowei, as long as he is willing to obey, then he is not a waste.

If Shen Baoxu's current troops were his soldiers on the border, it would be absolutely impossible for him to agree to Hu Xiaowei's suggestion, because the soldiers on the Dongxun border have to deal with barbarians all year round.

You will face several life-or-death situations in one day.

Under the temper of that situation, the border soldiers of Dongxun basically joined the army for two or three years. If they were placed in the so-called forbidden army of Dongxun, they could start as a corps commander.

Just the bloodshed they had experienced in those battlefields made them look like they were not easy to mess with. How could they be like these 100,000 forbidden troops, all of whom were imprisoned in ivory towers?

Like the canaries inside, they have high physical fitness, but when it comes to serious battlefields, these guys often play the role of cannon fodder.

Birds of a feather flock together, and one rat droppings can spoil a pot of good porridge. If Shen Baoxu's troops were border soldiers, this is the reason why he would not agree to a large-scale recruitment of new soldiers.

For a border army of 6,000 people, if Shen Baoxu were to recruit new soldiers, he would only be able to recruit a maximum of 1,000 people, or even a few hundred people.

It is absolutely impossible for him, Shen Baoxu, to choose an army composed of one veteran and four or five new recruits. In his conception, it is best for an army to contain only one recruit, and then the rest.

They are all veterans, and four or five veterans will lead one recruit. In this case, he

Even if the army under his command recruits a group of new soldiers, its combat effectiveness will not decline rapidly.

As for a veteran with four or five new recruits, come on, they Dongxun haven't reached that point yet. What's the difference between a country that has reached that point and a country that is about to die? This kind of self-destructive style of play, even if they win the battle later

, then you will also lose a lot of your youthful strength.

And why did Shen Baoxu agree to it without even thinking about it when Captain Hu proposed the idea of ​​recruiting more soldiers?

Isn't it because the Imperial Guards on hand are rotten to the core? Each of them has been in the army for more than ten years, but do these guys deserve the title of veteran?

In Shen Baoxu's eyes, the difference between these guys who have been in the Forbidden Army for so long and the new recruits is that they know when meals are served in the military camp.

I would like to ask which country's Central Forbidden Army is like Dongxun. The entire army has not even fought a single battle for half a century. In other words, in Shen Baoxu's memory, this Central Forbidden Army has not fought since its establishment.

, that means he has never participated in any war at all. The current crusade against Nanli can actually be regarded as the first battle of this army that has been established for decades?

Don't kid me, do you expect these guys to be able to beat Zhou Dunyi? It's better to recruit more soldiers. Maybe we can recruit some masters hidden among the people. These guys, even if they ignore the captain's methods, they can't defeat Zhou Dunyi.

No matter how clever you are, it is impossible to turn an army that has been lazy for so long into an iron army in a short period of time.

It is precisely for this reason that Colonel Hu simply built a simple arena on the side of the gate of Lingyang County.

Although they say the more the merrier, you can't just sneak in and earn military pay. Captain Hu is not that stupid yet. Since time is running out now, let's create an arena.

Captain Tahu personally came on stage to be the ringleader and test the strength of the challenger.

Of course, the reason for setting up this arena was just a threat at best. If recruits were to be recruited to compete in the arena, Captain Hu probably wouldn't be able to recruit many recruits even if he was given one year.

The recruitment order issued by Captain Hu was just a few simple sentences, and most of them followed the ordinary recruitment process. However, the setting up of the arena was reserved for those civilian monks who believed in their own abilities. As long as they could

If you defeat Lieutenant Hu in the arena, you can directly join the army and start as a hundred-man general.

But why is it said that this arena serves the purpose of intimidation?

Not only had the arena been set up for a few days, there were over a hundred challengers, but no one could survive ten rounds under the hands of Lieutenant Hu, let alone defeat him.

As a result, now, no one stupidly goes to the ring to challenge and enlist in the army. Everyone obediently goes through the normal recruitment process. Anyway, they can't win, and they will be beaten if they go. It's better to just follow the crowd.

Now Captain Hu has leisurely found a chair on the ring and sat down, drinking tea leisurely and taking a nap from time to time.

All day today, no one has come up to the ring. It’s not like in the first few days, when I heard that if you successfully challenge the ring master, you can become a hundred-man general. Everyone excitedly crowded under the ring and wanted to challenge.

Challenger, they saw that the challengers in front of them were defeated faster and worse, and each one was injured more severely. However, the challenger did not even break a sweat. This group of people understood that this thing was not something they could challenge.

This hundred-man general is not something they can do.

But now, under the ring, two men who looked young quietly appeared at some point.

One of the men had a sword-like eyebrow and a tall and straight figure. Even though the sword on his waist was separated by a scabbard, you could still feel the powerful murderous aura faintly revealed by the sword.

As for other

A man with a kind smile is standing aside, holding an ancient lapis lazuli sword in his hand, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and wearing a raincoat. Looking from a distance, others will think that he is a boatman and fisherman.

.

And these two people were Kumu and Qi Wuhen who came from Jiujiang County.

Lieutenant Hu, who was on the stage, suddenly felt two dangerous auras that suddenly appeared under the stage. He opened his eyes and looked straight at Ku Mu and Qi Wuhen. He could feel the sudden appearance of these dangerous auras.

Both guys are not good friends.

Kumu turned his head slightly and looked at Qi Wuhen. Qi Wuhen smiled and nodded to Kumu, and then jumped up to the ring. The ancient green-gold sword in his hand was in a posture, facing the captain Hu who was waiting for him.

said

"Then, let me challenge one or two first."

Suddenly, the lieutenant calmly took a big knife from the hands of the soldiers on the side. He stared at Qi Wuhen in front of him with piercing eyes. He was holding the big knife in both hands and sweating unconsciously.

After adjusting his breathing, the captain suddenly turned aside, and the internal energy in his body burst out. He turned the big knife in his hand slightly, and the tip of the knife crossed the ground, slashing from bottom to top.

The internal force condensed and formed, and as the blade passed by, a crescent-shaped wave of internal force surged out, slashing towards Qi Wuhen.

Seeing this situation, Qi Wuhen pressed one palm on the handle of the knife, and with the other palm, he mobilized the internal force gathered from the body to transfer into the handle of the knife, and then he jumped up with one leg, and followed him in mid-air.

With lightning speed, he struck out several knives in succession.

Following the sound of breaking wind, the sword shadow struck the oncoming attack with the strong internal force contained in it.

While the two attacks were still clashing, Qi Wuhen jumped sideways and slashed twice with the ancient lapis lazuli sword in his hand. The light of the sword reflected across the entire field.

And the internal power contained in these two sword lights is simply superior to those of the several swords just now.

Suddenly, seeing that he had no time to dodge, the captain raised the big sword in his hand upwards, and then turned it violently, carrying a powerful force from top to bottom, clenching his teeth, shaking the energy from his shoulders, and slashed wildly

out.

This large opening and closing sword technique made Qi Wuhen feel a little troublesome. He frowned, and after casually slashing out again, he bent down and dodged, and the ancient lapis lazuli sword in his hand collided head-on with the big sword in the captain's hand.

above the tip.

The mountain-splitting energy carried by the sword was so powerful that even though it had a few rays of light to dissipate the pressure, and Qi Wuhen only blocked it slightly, he was still so shocked by the remaining power of the sword that he could not control his body and fell directly on the

After rolling on the ground several times, Qi Wuhen finally stabilized his body.

Standing up again, Qi Wuhen looked at Captain Hu this time with a hint of fear in his eyes.

The opponent's sword skills are actually much lower than his, but they are better than the mountain splitting momentum. His own sword skills are better than his, but the power is relatively weak.

few.

This guy made himself so embarrassed just by the remaining power of the sword, Qi Wuhen thought as he adjusted and changed his body shape and looked at Kumu in the audience.

Damn, it would be great if Kumu was the first one to come up. Kumu's sword skills are designed to suppress this guy to death. I really am, who am I? I am so excited.

I took the initiative to jump out and fight this guy. Really, I was making myself uncomfortable.

Qi Wuhen's hand holding the ancient green-gold sword became tighter and tighter. He still didn't know if the other guy was still hiding a hand. After all, he could hardly block the sword just now. If this guy still kept it,

If he had one move, he might really be knocked out of the ring by this guy.

Damn it!
Chapter completed!
