It was February 13th, the seventh year of Taiyuan.
Snowflakes were flying, and the school grounds outside Guangling City were covered in silver. However, more than a thousand fully armed sergeants standing under the ring remained motionless. They were covered with the best armor and held weapons in their hands.
With bows on their backs, the frost and snow condensed into white frost on their eyebrows, and the hot air they blew quickly formed small ice beads on their beards, but the faces smeared with yellow antifreeze grease were still frozen.
His expression was extremely resolute, and what flashed across his eyes from time to time was that cold look of eagerness to fight.
Liu Yu was standing among these people. Beside him, Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi, Liu Yi, Mao Qiu and other old acquaintances were all taking their places. Today was an open trial for the Tiger Army. Only warriors above the rank of captain in each unit could
There are more than 1,000 people who are qualified to participate, competing for 100 places.
On the general stage, dozens of war drums were lined up in a row. The warriors, shirtless and red with cold, beat the war drums loudly. Xie Xuan, wearing a general's robe and armor, was sitting upright behind the commander's desk.
Looks calm.
Liu Laozhi held the command flag and stood beside Xie Xuan. He raised his head and looked at the sun that had risen in the sky. He curled his lips and bowed slightly: "Commander Xuan, it's past time. Do you think it's time?"
Xie Xuan waved his hand: "Let's get started."
Liu Lao took a few steps forward, walked to the front of the ring, looked at the more than a thousand tigers and wolves in the audience, and said solemnly: "Everyone, today is the selection competition for the Tiger Troops. Our troops are the sharp knives of the entire army.
Vanguard only recruits the best warriors. Before you come to participate in the competition, you have all proven your strength in various units, which is why you can stand here now, but this does not mean that you can join the Tiger Army!
"
Liu Yu's lips curled up, and Liu Jingxuan on the other side smiled slightly and whispered: "This time, as long as you can join, you can become an officer above the rank of squad leader. The Tiger Army has no shortage of soldiers, but it needs the best grassroots officers. Everyone
, encourage it!”
Liu Laozhi's eyes flashed coldly: "The requirements for joining the Tiger Force are very simple. From now on until Chenshi one day later, you need to start from Guangling, climb over the mountains, cross the river, and go all the way to Garlic Mountain in Jingkou. Garlic Mountain,
There is an enemy camp. You need to record the situation, appearance, and strength of the enemy camp, and then go to Jiangcheng and Luoluo Bridge. There, I will wait for you in a black chariot.
Under the flag, the first one to arrive wins! Remember, I only take a hundred people with me!"
Having said this, Liu Laozhi said solemnly: "If you have any questions, you can raise them now."
Tan Pingzhi said loudly: "How about we run from Guangling to Luoluo Bridge in one day? Is there a ferry?"
Liu Laozhi shook his head: "There are no ferries. On this day, all ferries are blocked. You have to swim across the Yangtze River!"
Everyone's expressions changed. Swimming across the Yangtze River in this ice and snow would be fatal.
Wei Yongzhi said loudly: "Is there any antifreeze grease distributed?"
Liu Laozhi said coldly: "No! Rely on your own physical strength, and from the moment you enter the battlefield, there will be people constantly chasing you. Remember! You can seize their weapons, but not
It can hurt their lives, but those who hurt other people’s lives will be disqualified!”
As soon as these words came out, even Liu Yu's expression changed. Liu Jingxuan shouted directly: "The guy in our hands doesn't have an edge or an arrow, so it can't kill people. If we don't let us do it seriously, we
There is no benefit in killing the pursuers. If they hit us, we will retire, which is unfair."
Liu Laozhi said calmly: "Those who think it is unfair can withdraw now. Also, each participant will be given two steamed buns, one piece of dough, and a cigarette barrel, just like this!"
As he spoke, he took out a small hollow iron rod from his arms. Everyone could see that there was a drawstring at the bottom of the iron rod. Liu Laozhi pulled it with his hand and heard a "hiss" sound.
From the other end of the barrel, a cloud of yellow smoke came out, and soon it condensed into a column of smoke and rose into the sky.
Liu Yu saw clearly and knew that this was military smoke stuffed into a small iron rod. Even in the dark night, this smoke column could be seen clearly by people three miles away. In the past, it was used by reconnaissance scouts, but today this
This game seems to be a test of the survivability and escape ability of individual soldiers.
Liu Laozhi said coldly: "If anyone feels that he can't hold on anymore, or is injured and needs help, just pull the rope of this small iron rod. As soon as the smoke column comes out, our cavalry will come to rescue you. Treat everyone to a barbecue."
mutton!"
Liu Yi stood up and said seriously: "General, can we form a team this time?"
Liu Laozhi curled his lips and said: "There are no restrictions on any form. If you want to prevent others from reaching the finish line, you can also attack other contestants. I don't care how many people will die or be injured this time, I will only take away one person."
Hundreds of people. If not a hundred people arrive under the tiger flag at 10 o'clock tomorrow, then I will only take away the people under the tiger flag. Do you all hear me clearly?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Excuse me, General Liu, how many troops are coming to chase us and which general is leading them?"
Liu Laozhi smiled slightly: "You will know when we get to the war zone. I will ask one last time, does anyone want to quit now? This competition may cost you your life, so everyone has to think about it before leaving."
More than a thousand men stood like javelins in the wind and snow, motionless, and no one retreated. A trace of worry flashed in some people's eyes, but it only disappeared for a moment.
Liu Laozhi raised his eyebrows and waved the flag in his hand: "Start!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yi turned around and ran away. Behind him, several of his buddies and clan brothers, Zhao Yi, Liu Cui, Liu Fan and others rushed out and quickly rushed out.
to the school grounds.
Liu Yu shook his head, turned around and started to run out. The furball on one side ran past him and winked at him: "Jinnu, thank you for helping us win the qualification. I wish you good luck!"
As he spoke, he followed the brothers around him and accelerated forward, heading straight towards Liu Yi.
Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi, and Liu Jingxuan came together. Tan Pingzhi smiled and said, "There are a hundred places, brother Jinu. There is strength in numbers. How about we rush together?"
Liu Yu nodded: "This game is not easy. There are probably powerful ambushes and pursuers ahead. Let's not rush too fast. Let's observe the situation from behind first. We are familiar with the Jingkou area. As long as we cross the river, we will be there."
Can complete the task!"
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "Then let's have a good competition this time to see who can kill more enemies before reaching the destination!" 8)
