In the sky in June, the white clouds were blown to unknown places by the wind, and the blue sky was unobstructed.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and in the military camp outside Pinggu County, Yuyang County, the soldiers of the Gongsun tribe stood in a row at the martial arts field, standing in a row under the scorching sun, with patches of colorful halos flashing in front of their eyes.
There are a total of 9,825 people in the whole battalion. No matter you are a soldier, a general, or even a cook who never participates in drills on weekdays, no one is left behind. They are all standing in this crowded place because of the appearance of nearly 10,000 soldiers at the same time. On the field.
Although it is still a little short of ten thousand people, it can be said to be tens of thousands to the outside world.
This is half of Gongsun Zan's troops in Yuyang, with three thousand veterans, and the rest are all strong men who have just been recruited from various places.
There are two main channels for the expansion of soldiers these days, one is to recruit bandits and militiamen, and the other is to directly recruit soldiers at the grassroots level.
The first method is very bad. Most people are not bandits in the first place. They have no choice but to become wandering militiamen. If they meet a general to recruit them and have food to eat, they can continue to live their lives.
Such soldiers are adaptable to the situation, but if you want them to join in trouble, then forget it, as long as they don't incite other soldiers to rebel against you.
The soldiers recruited in the second method are different and more obedient.
However, in order to avoid going to the battlefield and facing death, many young and middle-aged people still started to run away as soon as they got the news of the conscription, but 95% of them were forcibly captured before they got halfway.
For the remaining 5%, there is no way to think about returning to their hometown. They can only fall into the trap of bandits and then fall into the first category.
This is because after experiencing severe beatings from society, one realizes that military service is not impossible. Although the mortality rate is high, one may be able to have enough to eat before death.
This kind of soldiers can continuously rely on military merit to be promoted under the military system, and there will be brave men under heavy rewards. They are much more useful than those who recruit soldiers.
Therefore, the kind of hero in the novel who is always willing to join the army is not here to be a soldier, but to be a general.
I won’t talk about their treatment, I will just say that these little soldiers are actually living a pretty good life as long as they don’t fight.
At least they live better than the homeless slaves.
However, recently due to the arrival of the new general, everyone's original way of life has been violently broken, and their life has become 'difficult'.
The new general was a woman. When they first heard the news, everyone thought it was a joke and laughed all night long.
Unexpectedly, when we saw her on the playground the next day, she turned out to be a woman.
At that moment, the entire military camp fell into a deathly silence, and all the soldiers were stunned as if they were being tapped.
The female general's surname is Wang, and her name is Wang Pingping. The first thing she did when she arrived at the military camp was to prepare them for training.
This happens before every war. Everyone realizes that a war is about to begin, so they train their troops.
However, if you train your troops, just train them. Why do you have to pull up the guys before dawn, line them up in rows, and stand all day like a fool?
Moreover, the weather in June is so hot that people are confused, so we still want them to be exposed to the sun?
What else can I say, practice military posture?
But isn't this about to start a war? What kind of military posture are you standing in? Shouldn't it be about practicing martial arts and opening an arsenal to familiarize yourself with weapons?
Gongsun Zan was very strict in running the army, and all his soldiers kept the eight rules in mind. Even the new recruits who had just entered the army camp would remember these eight rules under the words and deeds of the veterans.
One of the iron rules is that you must not disobey military orders. Anyone who violates them will be killed!
Therefore, in the first few days, everyone was patient and only dared to complain a few words behind their backs. When the time came, they had to go to the playground and stood there honestly until the female general said to rest.
However, in the first few days, there was a white cloud floating overhead from time to time, but I couldn't bear it.
But in the past few days, the sun has been getting stronger and stronger, and all the clouds have disappeared. The female general has even gone too far. If her body shakes even a little, she will be punished.
This punishment sounds a bit ridiculous, just let them imitate the frog and jump around the playground twenty times.
As expected, she was a woman who didn't know how to run an army. She didn't even know what the general was thinking, but she actually asked such a woman to lead the entire army.
Qin Qian, who was the first to be punished with the frog leap, felt dissatisfied in his heart.
He knew that the new officers were very angry when they took office, and this female general did this to give them a show of strength.
Mr. Qin Qian was thinking as he jumped. He had just stood in a military posture all morning. Everyone was envious of him for being able to move, so Mr. Qin Qian was still a little proud.
However, after jumping...about half of the playground, more than 400 meters, Mr. Qin Qian, who had just been proud of not having to stand in a military posture, suddenly found that his calves were so sore that his legs felt like
Filling it with lead is a burden he cannot bear.
At this time, the female general looked over. She was obviously exposed to the sun on the playground. There was not a drop of sweat on her face, and her cheeks were only slightly red. It was obvious that she had been exposed to the sun.
Mr. Qin Qian snorted secretly, unwilling to admit that this female general had indeed good endurance.
"Mr. Qin Qian, why do you stop? Continue to accept your punishment!" She stood condescendingly on the stand and shouted at him.
A woman's voice is like a loud bell, not rough like a man's, but smooth and clear, with clear words that can be heard far away in the quiet playground.
Everyone's eyes turned to him, and Mr. Qin Qian's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was tired or embarrassed.
He secretly gritted his teeth and could only continue to leapfrog.
This time, looking at Mr. Qin Qian’s heavy take-off and bulging veins, no one felt that the punishment of frog jumping was a woman’s humble opinion and was ridiculous.
"What are you looking at? Did I let you look at it?"
The female general suddenly shouted coldly, causing the soldiers to quickly look away from Mr. Qin Qian.
However, it was too late, and all they heard was the female general's shout, and everyone was punished with a hundred push-ups for disobeying their superiors' orders.
Push-ups are also a new word brought by the female general, which means lying down on all fours and constantly getting up and down.
When the female general first brought this word, everyone secretly compared it in the dormitory. Generally, they would have no problem doing thirty or forty, but they could barely do fifty.
Centurions are worthy of being centurions, and they can basically do a hundred in a row.
But speaking of it, the Qian Commanders are more powerful. Perhaps they eat better than ordinary soldiers and can make two hundred.
However, after finishing it, I was panting and my arms were trembling, and often the last hundred were not done to a standard, but the soldiers next to me were included in them in order to please the superior.
One hundred push-ups made all the soldiers' hearts tremble.
But this is only the punishment for ordinary soldiers. For centurions and generals, because they are officers, the punishment is doubled.
Therefore, after General Qin Qian's death, there were eight more Qian Generals and ninety centurions.
The playground suddenly burst into mourning, and dissatisfaction was brewing. They were just waiting for an opportunity, and when pushed to the extreme, they would surely explode and do something unpredictable.
