At dawn, Chen Qing summoned the generals to discuss strategies for the new recruits' competition.
Chen Qing told everyone frankly: "I thought about it all night, and I think we actually have no advantage. On the contrary, compared with the elites Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi selected from tens of thousands of people, we are even at a disadvantage. We
If you want to advance to the semi-finals or even the finals, you need not only strength, but also brains."
Chen Qing pointed at his head and smiled and said, "Seven points of strength, three points of strategy, and strategic rivalry can double our competitiveness. Let everyone express their opinions and see what effective strategies can be adopted."
"I know where to buy crotons!" Zheng Ping clenched his fists and said excitedly.
Everyone laughed, and Chen Qing glared at Zheng Ping, "Is your level that low? You are still at the level of Croton, and you have followed me for so long."
"How can a person win if he doesn't play dirty tricks?" Zheng Ping muttered unconvincingly.
Hu Yantong chuckled, "Actually, I think what Lao Zheng said makes sense!"
"Look! Look!" Zheng Ping's eyes lit up. He found his confidant, and his back straightened slightly.
"Even Hu Yan agrees. I say conspiracy is also an effective method! Commander, don't feel contempt as soon as you hear about the conspiracy."
Chen Qing shook his head, "Then listen to what I have to say. What is the best strategy in my opinion?"
The lobby fell silent, and Chen Qing said calmly: "The good strategy I am talking about is to tap into the potential and the optimal combination, such as the archery camp, we will definitely select the best archers to form it.
But among these archers, some soldiers may be very powerful in actual combat, or may have very good physical fitness, so how do we tap into all three advantages of the same soldier?"
Liu Qiong, who has been silent all the time, suggested, "A variety of response plans can be adopted, and several camp division methods can be used in parallel."
Chen Qing gave a thumbs up and said in approval: "General Liu is still smart. When it comes to the key point, we need multiple plans in parallel to deal with different situations. This requires every soldier to participate. According to my command flag
Let’s make a temporary combination.”
Zhao Xiaoyi hesitated and said, "But we don't know what competition events there are."
Chen Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just those types, archery, military formations, actual combat confrontations, etc. There will definitely be no mounted archery, and there will be no water battles. The key is that we know that the competition is based on battalions, and one battalion
There are five hundred people, and to prevent cheating, the competition events may be announced temporarily, but as long as we are fully prepared and formulate multiple plans, we can completely deal with it temporarily."
Hu Yantong said after a long while, "The commander actually selects the elite among fifteen hundred people."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "You're right, others select the elite from tens of thousands of people. We don't have that condition, so we can only select the tall ones from the short ones."
Chen Qing's plan received unanimous support from everyone. That morning, everyone finalized eight plans, formed eight mobile battalions, and formulated eight corresponding command flags.
Each soldier was then assigned to eight different combat battalions based on their strengths, and some of the strongest soldiers even joined five battalions at the same time.
After the plan is finalized, different combinations of training must be conducted every day, so that each soldier can understand their respective positions.
On the sidelines of the school field, Chen Qing smiled and patted Zheng Ping on the shoulder, "Let's talk here."
Zheng Ping followed him to the side in confusion, and Chen Qing asked in a low voice, "Where did you say I could buy croton this morning?
Zheng Ping's eyes suddenly widened, "What?"
...........
Time flies by quickly, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the competition is getting closer and closer.
This morning, Chen Qing and Hu Yantong came to the New Martial Arts School. The New Martial Arts School was built on the bank of the Qiantang River, about 30 miles away from Lin'an City. It covers an area of about 100 acres, and the school grounds alone have 50 acres, where you can practice riding.
If you shoot, you can gallop on horseback.
There is even a huge wharf where naval forces can be trained in the Qiantang River.
This is not only a place for studying for martial arts examinations, but also a training place for generals of the Song Dynasty. It is the highest military school of the Song Dynasty.
In the martial arts hall, hundreds of officials and competition generals gathered together. Zhu Shengfei, a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and minister of the Ministry of War, was reading out the emperor's decree. His qualifications were higher than that of Li Hui, the privy minister. Zhu Shengfei became the leader of this recruit training competition.
By.
More than seventy generals gathered together. Everyone stood upright and listened carefully to the emperor's instructions.
Hu Yantong touched Chen Qing with his elbow, moved his mouth forward, and said in a low voice: "The youngest one is Yue Fei!"
Chen Qing perked up and looked behind Zhu Shengfei. Behind him stood seven generals wearing silver helmets. These generals were all deputy commanders and above. Chen Qing only knew two people, one was Han Shizhong and the other was
Sun Wo, Sun Wo was originally the commander-in-chief of the Western Army. He was favored and was strongly recommended by Li Hui, who knew the secret affairs, and was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Central Army, that is, Liu Guangshi's deputy general.
In addition to Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Sun Wo, Li Heng, and Ju Shigu, there is also a young commander in his thirties, who should be Yue Fei.
Chen Qing saw Yue Fei, and saw that he had a serious expression, sharp eyes, a rectangular face, and eyebrows like arrows. He was indeed handsome and talented, and he was worthy of being the first general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Next, Li Hui announced the rules of the competition. There were three parts: preliminary, semi-finals and finals. The preliminary competition was divided into five groups: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each group was composed of four regular armies and three martial arts armies. Each group
The top two teams with the highest points will participate in the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be a knockout round. The five armies that have eliminated their opponents will advance to the finals. The last day will be the selection of new generals.
The next step was to draw lots in groups. The generals of each team came forward to draw lots. Chen Qing stepped forward. At this time, he saw Wang Bo. Wang Bo's army was the third martial arts army. He drew lots among the fifteen martial arts armies.
Chen Qing, on the other hand, drew lots among the regular army.
Wang Bo also saw Chen Qing. He looked at Chen Qing with a half-smile, took out a lottery ticket and left.
Chen Qing also drew a lot from the regular army, which was a fire lot.
The fire lot was the fourth group. Hu Yantong whispered to Chen Qing: "Cao De also got the fire lot!"
Chen Qing saw with his own eyes that Cao De's two thousand troops were elites selected from tens of thousands of new recruits. They were all tall, well-trained, and very powerful. Their strength even exceeded that of veterans who had been in the army for many years.
Chen Qing had always suspected that they had been part of the Imperial Guard before. After the team broke up and went home, they were re-enlisted, so they were considered new recruits.
This is also the advantage of Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others. They recruit tens of thousands of new soldiers, with a large base, and then select elites from tens of thousands of people. Therefore, each army is very strong, unlike their own.
There is no choice.
At this time, Hu Yantong came back after inquiring about the news and smiled at Chen Qing: "I just learned that Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun made a request that they cannot be grouped together, otherwise it would be unfair to them, so the superiors put Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun together.
The armies of Zhang Jun, Han Dutong, Yue Fei and Li Heng are regarded as the preferred armies. They drew lots yesterday. There are five groups, one team for each group. The strong opponent in our group is Cao De's army, and there is no one else.
"
Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. If Yue Fei's army were to form a group with him again, it would really be a big problem. Maybe even the group would not be able to get out of the line.
........
The entire recruit training competition lasts for five days. The first day is the group stage, the second day is the semi-finals, the third day is a day off, the fourth day is the finals, and the fifth day is the rookie championship match.
As for what the reward will be, it has not been announced yet, and everyone is full of expectations.
On the second day of June, a large camp appeared in the wilderness outside Wuxue. The camp was ten miles long and five miles wide, and could accommodate an army of 100,000 people.
The tents in the camp can be seen at a glance. There are thirty-five teams with as many as 2,000 people and as few as 1,000 people. All of them checked into the camp the day before. The camp is divided into forty areas. Chen
The area where the Qing army was stationed was called Area B5, which consisted of two hundred large tents.
A large flag stood in the center of the tent, with the words "Western Army" written on it.
The atmosphere in the camp was lively, with laughter and laughter everywhere. Every army was eager to try and seize the opportunity of this competition.
............
The application time is three o'clock in the afternoon, and the competition stipulates that the project lottery must be conducted a quarter of an hour in advance, that is, the lottery starts at 2:30.
Chen Qing came to the school field with 1,500 soldiers. The first three games were over, and six teams stood out and entered the semi-finals first.
The seven teams lined up neatly on the school field, waiting for the moment of drawing lots.
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
The drums were beating, and an official from the Ministry of War shouted: "The generals of each team will line up!"
The seven generals came to a small table. There was a lottery tube placed on the small table. The official in charge picked up the lottery tube and shook it for a moment. A lottery jumped out. The official slowly pulled it out. It was a yellow lottery: fifty miles.
run!
The seven generals all breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was afraid of being drawn into the military formation. The military formation is scored, which is too subjective. It is very likely that the scoring will be unfair. As for running, this is basic military training and is problematic for all armies.
Not big.
"I'll tell you the rules!"
The chief loudly said to the crowd: "Each army sent five hundred people, each of whom took a number plate and ran to the twenty-five mile mark. There were officials waiting there. The soldiers exchanged the number plate in their hands for another number plate.
, and then run back to the finish line.
I would like to warn you here that both sides of the two number plates must be registered and will be checked at the end. If there is cheating, the team will be eliminated directly. No matter how good the results are, you must tell the soldiers to take your own number plates and don’t
