In a deserted wilderness to the east of Dingjunfang, the selected officers and soldiers of the Qianlongshan Army stood proudly.
Wei Cheng looked at Huang Zhong in the team and smiled helplessly.
Huang Zhong volunteered to stand with a group of young people at half a century old to compete with each other. This alone made him admire him.
Of course, if we look at the problem differently, maybe Wei Cheng himself would make the same choice as him.
First of all, Huang Zhong had just arrived and if he became the commander-in-chief as soon as he arrived, his subordinates would inevitably be dissatisfied.
Secondly, if he can stand out in the competition, he can not only prove his strength, but also gain a large number of fans in this era where the strong are respected. This will undoubtedly be a great help for him to manage the team in the future.
However, Wei Cheng believed that the reason why Huang Zhong made this choice was mostly because Huang Zhong was a humble person.
At this time, several carriages came slowly from the direction of the city gate.
It was said that the stewards of several craftsmen's workshops had brought them weapons for the competition.
It's definitely not the fault of Wei Cheng who went to Dubai to purchase it, but the hand-made 98k gun barrel and drawings provided by Wei Cheng.
Zhengtou trotted up to Wei Cheng, cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "Sir, fifty new guns and three thousand bullets are ready."
Wei Cheng looked at Zhengtou, smiled and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, come over and take a rest, and let's take a look at your achievements during this time."
He bowed his head and bowed his fist respectfully again, looking at the men of the Longshan Army with envy. He once wanted to join the Longshan Army, even if he was not a city guard, but unfortunately, Wei Cheng seemed to value his identity as a craftsman more.
.
Today, Zhengtou is already the general manager of the craftsman's workshop, responsible for helping Wei Cheng create various magical weapons. In terms of status, he is no lower than Tian Feng, Xu Ding and others. After all, he only needs to be responsible for Wei Cheng alone.
"Yes." He bowed respectfully and walked to stand next to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng reached out and patted Shengtou on the shoulder, saying nothing. Wei Cheng had always taken special care of Shengtou and the old people who had followed him for the first time. The reason why he let Shengtou retreat behind the scenes was also because of his consideration.
It is said that there is an old one on the head and a small one on the bottom.
In addition, Chengtou's loyalty and execution ability are also the main reasons why Wei Cheng trusts and reuses him.
You know, many of the drawings Wei Cheng brought over involved the changes of the times. Once leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Okay, the first fifty people will go out."
Wei Cheng shouted loudly: "Each person only has three rounds of projectiles. Whether you are promoted to commander in chief or commander depends entirely on your strength."
Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and his son, who were standing in the first row, looked at each other and stepped out at the same time.
Yang Feng, Tai Shici, and several soldiers who claimed to be good at archery took a deep breath and stood up decisively.
On the other side, fifty men from the City Guards served as scorers and had already taken their positions.
Xu Huang, as the chief referee, stepped forward and announced: "Hitting the grass target will count one point, hitting the red heart will count three points, and missing the target will count zero points. Everyone is on their way!"
This time the competition is to select 300 team members, three captains, and one general soldier from among the thousands of Longshan Army officers and soldiers.
That is to say, in the competition of one thousand to three hundred and four, according to the individual points earned, only the top 304 people will be retained. As for the others, they can only return to the Longshan Army.
"Shoot after three drum beats, the first group is ready."
After Xu Huang finished speaking, most of the officers and soldiers of the Longshan Army remained standing, holding the trigger with one hand and holding the gun handle with the other. Only Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Yang Feng, and Tai Shici fell to the ground in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom!
Bah, bah, bah...
"Missed the target."
"Missed the target."
"Missed the target."
"..."
"one cent."
"Three points."
"Missed the target..."
Amidst the noise of misses, the two sudden scores attracted everyone to look at Huang Zhong and Tai Shici.
Yes, it was Huang Zhong who hit the red heart, while Taishi Ci hit the grass target, but there was still a little distance from the red heart.
As for the others, they all missed the target, even Huang Xu and Yang Feng, two people who had used the Wind Dragon Fire Spear, were no exception.
Yang Feng frowned. The Wind Dragon Fire Gun he used before was an awm provided by Wei Cheng and equipped with a six-fold scope. The 98k used in this comparison had a unified three-point sight. He was not sure for a while. The first
The gun missed a lot.
Huang Xu's cheeks turned red. He looked back at his father, Huang Zhong, and complained, "Dad, why did you shoot at the same time as me?"
Huang Zhong snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Don't be alarmed when things happen. How many times have I taught you. If you don't change this problem, you will never become a true marksman."
As he spoke, he pulled the bolt, adjusted his breathing, and waited for the second shot.
After three shots.
The highest score was given to Huang Zhong, with a total score of nine points.
The second place, Taishi Ci, only had five points, and only one of three shots hit the bullseye.
Surprisingly, Yang Feng and Huang Xu tied for third. Both of them scored four points, one shot of red heart and one shot on target. Like Tai Shici, all three of them hit the red heart with the last shot.
As for the others, twelve of them received one point and the rest all received zero points.
There were fifty people in the first round, and thirty-four people were eliminated in one go.
Wei Cheng, who was watching from the back, was stunned and thought to himself: Could it be that out of the last thousand people, not even three hundred people could be gathered?
Fortunately, after three rounds.
The final result was pretty decent.
Two hundred and seventy-seven out of a thousand people got points, with the lowest being one point, and the highest being Huang Zhong, who was far ahead with nine points.
The outcome is obvious.
The position of commander-in-chief of the new team belongs to Huang Zhong, and he is well deserved.
The three military commanders were respectively: Yang Feng, Taishi Ci, and Huang Xu.
As for Yang Feng's original position as commander of the Longshan Army, Xu Huang named Wen Chou on the spot, and he succeeded Yang Feng as the new commander of the Longshan Army. Yan Liang, who joined the Longshan Army at the same time, was extremely envious.
On the high platform, Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Although the number is less than three hundred, it is still close. Mr. Huang will recruit the last few people on his own."
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and saluted, saying "respectfully."
Behind Wei Cheng, Zhengtou came over holding a tray with a banner on it.
"General Huang, come on stage to welcome back the team flag."
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran up to the high platform, curiously looking at the banner on the tray, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Wei Cheng raised the banner, held the two upper corners and unfolded it. There was a crash, and everyone in the audience looked in amazement.
"This is the battle flag of the new team. The golden dragon rides on the wind and goes straight into the sky. It steps on the thunder clouds to occupy the commanding heights. The thunder breath flames spitting out of its mouth are the projectiles you shoot out. Kill the enemy among the lightning and flint. This is what the new team will do in the future.
The sure way to win in battle is to always hold the high ground, kill people invisible, and maximize the lethality of the magic weapon."
Wei Cheng handed the banner to Huang Zhong and said loudly: "The name of the team is Dragon Breath. You two hundred and seventy-seven people must live up to the name of Dragon Breath."
"Live up to the name of Dragon's Breath!"
"Live up to the name of Dragon's Breath!"
Huang Zhong excitedly raised the flag high, faced the audience, and shouted in a high-pitched and passionate voice: "Live up to the name of Dragon's Breath!"
