Chapter seventy-fifth; battle for the king (thirteen)
In the huge martial arts field in Chishui City, six hundred men in their prime were practicing hard. Xiuge stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back and shouted, "Thrust!", and almost everyone stepped forward at the same time.
He took a step forward and thrust out the wooden stick in his hand.
Seeing these new recruits practicing hard, Xiuge's thoughts drifted to more than a month ago, when he first met Instructor Ye. He remembered that Instructor Ye told him that he had designed a new type of bow and arrow.
, I was still laughing at him secretly in my heart. Thinking of these past events, Xiuge chuckled and shook his head.
Although it was just over a month ago, it still feels like a lifetime ago when I think about it now. It is really because Instructor Ye has brought them so many changes. He not only led them to resist the beast tide, but even defeated the Chishui City Fighter Alliance. Now it is even more...
Directly settling in Chishui City, these are things Xiuge never dared to think about before.
The welfare benefits of each of the 78 people who first followed the third prince have been improved. The worst ones have now been upgraded to upper class soldiers. Their silver coins have increased from one per day to 1.5 per day. Some of them have even been directly dismissed.
Promoted to squad leader, he manages 9 new recruits who have just joined the army, and gets 2 silver coins every day.
The squad is the smallest combat unit set by Instructor Ye. There are ten people in a squad, and ten squads form a squadron. Xiuge is now a squadron leader, and he gets the highest salary in the musketeers, three silver dollars a day, which is much better than before.
Hunting is much more majestic, although I miss the time of hunting in the mountains very much.
The army is in charge of food every day, so Xiuge doesn't have to spend money at all. He has saved dozens of silver dollars now. If he hadn't been dragged to the tavern by Ergou every now and then, he would have saved more silver dollars. Xiuge wanted to save more.
Spend some silver dollars, buy a piece of land in Chishui, build a house, then marry a wife, and then take your old mother to Chishui City.
However, after living in Chishui City for a while, Xiuge can also feel that the women in Chishui City don't seem to look down on miners like them from small border towns, whether it is in terms of words or demeanor, it's wrong.
Instructor Ye said that they are soldiers, professional soldiers, and a bodyguard army that belongs exclusively to the third prince. In Instructor Ye's words, soldiers should have a sense of honor as soldiers. Although Xiuge doesn't quite understand what honor is,
But since Instructor Ye said this, I must work hard to understand it. Even if I don't understand, as long as I do what Instructor Ye said, there will be nothing wrong.
While thinking wildly, Shuge suddenly saw that among the new recruits, someone's movements were different from the others. Shuge shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and stood there. Xiuge walked through the crowd and came to the man and said seriously: "You, get out of the queue!"
The other party walked out of the team with a nonchalant expression. Judging from the nonchalant look of the other party, he didn't take Xiuge seriously at all. This man Xiuge knew, his name was Gordan. He was the original defender of Chishui City and had been practicing since childhood.
Dou Qi, it is said that he has the strength of the peak of Dou Qi, and is a famous thorn in this group of recruits.
"Haven't you learned how to stand in the military posture prescribed by the instructor?"
Gordan glanced at Shuge with disdain. What the hell do these country bumpkins know? How can they fight a war just by walking around like this every day? It's a joke. They also stipulate that everyone's movements must be uniform. It's a joke. Why should I follow this group of people?
Are the rednecks complicit?
Shuge frowned and shouted loudly: "Answer me!"
Gordan stretched out a finger to pick out his ear, then put it to his mouth and blew it before saying, "I'm not deaf, you don't have to be so loud."
"Answer me, why are you not following my orders?"
"Because I feel like you are just wasting my time. I don't know what the point of doing these exercises is. With these skills, why don't you let us practice fighting skills?"
"you......"
"What? Am I wrong? We are not babies who have just learned to walk. Why do we have to walk around here every day?"
"These training sessions were set by Instructor Ye himself. Do you have any opinions?"
Hearing the other party mention the mysterious instructor Ye, Gordan suddenly felt a little irritated in his heart. It was because of the appearance of that person that his original life was disrupted. Now he had to obey the orders of a second-generation miner.
This was something Gordan couldn't accept no matter what; "Don't open your mouth, Instructor Ye, keep your mouth shut, Master Ye. If you have the ability, you can fight with me. If you win, I will listen to you from now on."
In the team, several fighters who also belonged to the Chishui City defenders began to boo, "Yes, let's fight, let's fight. If this boring training is meaningful, then prove it to us."
Shuge didn't know how to refute the other party, saying that what he said was wrong? But who in the world didn't think so? Even Shuge himself, although he participated in the battle that defeated the Chishui City coalition forces, he believed that the most important thing was
The reason is that we have a master like Instructor Ye on our side. The battlefield has always been a stage for fighters, and only fighters can become truly powerful warriors.
Just when Xiuge was at a loss, an indifferent voice suddenly came from behind him: "Then let's have a fight."
A big hand reached out from behind and patted Shuge's shoulder. Shuge recognized the person's voice and turned around excitedly. He saw three people standing behind him at this time. The one closest to him was naturally
Instructor Ye, Xiuge had never seen the other two people, but what made Xiuge slightly strange was that the height of these two people was almost the same as Instructor Ye. Xiuge bowed respectfully; "Instructor Ye, who are you?"
When has the time come?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I just passed by with two guests and stopped by to take a look."
Ye Zhao, who was dressed in a black windbreaker, stood in front of everyone like he stood out from the crowd. Several fighters who took the lead in making trouble avoided Ye Zhao's eyes, for fear of attracting Ye Zhao's attention. The killing outside Chishui City was still vivid in his mind. This man in front of him was
But a master who kills without batting an eye can't be offended...can't be offended...Ye Zhao slowly walked up to Gordan, looked down at the other person without saying a word, and felt silent pressure.
Gordan couldn't breathe, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily. From the day the old city lord died, this tall man in black was like a nightmare, weighing on the hearts of every fighter in Chishui City.
Gordan shook his teeth, barely controlled his movements, and saluted Ye Zhao;
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
"Aren't you going to compete with Xiuge? Are you ready?"
Gordan was stunned. His words were meant to sway Shuge. No one would ever think that ordinary people were qualified to fight against fighters. But from what Master Ye meant, he really wanted to fight Shuge.
After a fight, does this mysterious Mr. Ye want to use his own hands to get rid of Xiuge? Or will Mr. Ye secretly take action against him? Gordan's eyes became uncertain, and he couldn't figure out why Ye Zhao did this.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid? If you win, the position of Captain Xiuge will be yours."
Gordan's eyes lit up; "Master Ye, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I never lie."
"Okay!" Gordan turned to Xiuge and shouted, "Come on, let me see what you are capable of."
Shouge suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold. How could he possibly defeat a fighter? Although he was only a ninth-level fighter with fighting spirit, it was not something that an Orion like himself could defeat. Is Instructor Ye trying to exclude himself?
Is it the price to get the squadron leader?
Ye Zhao came to Xiuge, took out his steam gun from the space package and handed it to him; "With this weapon, you can fire continuously. It is much easier to use than the firecrackers you usually use. Don't worry, let go
Take it easy, just do it according to your usual training."
Xiuge looked up at the smile on Instructor Ye's face, and his confidence returned to him. He took the steam gun handed over by Instructor Ye, and Xiuge gently stroked the gun body. This was a gun that looked like
It is a very exquisite weapon. I don’t know which blacksmith’s craftsmanship it is. It can actually use pig iron to create such lines and such beauty. It is like a work of art, although Xiuge doesn’t know much about art.
"Put the gun on your wrist. The trigger is different from the previous musket. The one you hold in your hand is the trigger... This place is the center of aim..."
Ye Zhao briefly introduced the steam gun to Xiuge, and then said softly: "Come on, I believe you will win. This is a good opportunity for you to establish your prestige, which will be of great benefit to managing this group of recruits in the future."
After saying that, Ye Zhao walked towards the distance and signaled Gordan with his eyes to retreat thirty meters away. Then Ye Zhao shouted: "Let's start!"
