The day after Ma Xiaoquan trained his troops, Yuan Chonghuan sent someone to deliver the thunderbolts he wanted.
Each of these thunderbolts is as big as an adult's fist and is completely black. Each thunderbolt has a slender lead, about half a foot long.
After Ma Xiaoquan thanked the person who sent the thunderbolts, he picked one up and weighed it.
Well, it's done well, at least in terms of weight, it's about the same weight as Ma Xiaoquan originally requested.
"You, come out~" Ma Xiaoquan casually pointed to the soldier closest to him. When the soldier heard Ma Xiaoquan calling him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped out of the queue. He was so scared that he was at a loss.
"Come here~" Ma Xiaoquan said again.
The soldier swallowed his saliva and slowly walked towards Ma Xiaoquan as if he was about to go to the execution ground.
Before he could reach the scene, Ma Xiaoquan threw the thunderbolt in his hand to the soldier.
The soldier's reaction was quite quick, and he stretched out his hand to catch the thunderbolt bullet.
"Use fire to light the fuse of the thunderbolt, and then throw it out as hard as you can. Remember, throw it as far as you can." Ma Xiaoquan ordered again.
The soldier nodded, took out the fire stick he carried with him, and carefully lit the fuse.
"Chichi..." The fuse was lit by the fire, and it made a unique burning sound. The soldier did not dare to neglect, raised the thunderbolt bomb, and threw it hard towards an uninhabited place.
Since the fuse of the thunderbolt bomb was relatively long, it was not completely burned out until it hit the ground, but when a loud noise followed, everyone was stunned.
Including Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan did not expect that the power of the thunderbolt was so great, and it was not much more powerful than it.
The soldier who had just thrown the thunder bomb was completely paralyzed with fear after hearing such a loud noise. He shook his head in disbelief and murmured: "If it hadn't been thrown, then I would have
Not to be blown to pieces..."
Ma Xiaoquan grinned and laughed. He picked up a thunderbolt in each hand and compared the weight carefully.
"Hmm~ The weights are about the same, so..." Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and ordered, "Go and prepare some rocks for me that are as heavy as thunderbolts, Ma Liuer's."
The soldiers at the head of the several platoons stepped forward and each took a thunderbolt bullet.
Ma Xiaoquan calmed down and said: "This thunderbolt is incredibly powerful. When you are holding it for comparison, be careful to protect the fuse and don't let me blow it up. Otherwise, your life will be completely ruined. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir~" several soldier commanders stood at attention and said loudly.
"Well, let's go~"
...
After a while, several captains of soldiers each held a basket filled with various stones of different sizes.
After putting down the basket, the captains immediately stood up and waited for Ma Xiaoquan's review.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and looked down at the stones in several baskets.
Although the sizes are different, if I pick up two of them and weigh them, they are almost the same weight.
Looking up at the queue of soldiers standing not far away, Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "You guys are fat and thin, tall and short, and have big and small hands. Well, we can do some comparisons. Come on, let them
Everyone, come here and line up in two lines."
When the soldier got the order, he immediately ordered the soldiers to come forward.
The soldiers came forward and formed two columns according to Ma Xiaoquan's order.
"You two, go to the front and compare how far the people behind you have thrown it, and then each person will write it down. Well, everyone has to throw it, and then pick up the thrown stone. Each person throws it three times."
The two soldiers in the front row received the order and trotted to the opposite side, stopped, turned around, and waited quietly.
The soldiers at the back distanced themselves from each other. The two soldiers at the front selected stones that fit their respective hand shapes from the basket, took a deep breath, and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan crossed his arms, like a parent, nodded and said: "You can throw it away~"
The two soldiers hummed, then each bowed, or half-crouched, any action that could increase their strength was acceptable. Then, one after the other, they threw the stones in their hands.
In less than two blinks of time, the stone had already landed not far away. Since the two men were different in size, there was naturally some difference in strength. The taller soldier could obviously throw it much further than the short soldier.
The two recording soldiers standing on the opposite side also marked the target point as soon as the stone landed.
...
More than eighty people threw stones one by one in order, while Ma Xiaoquan stood aside, squinting and carefully recognizing the appearance of each of them.
In the past, in the National Special Forces, and later in the Extreme Rangers team, Ma Xiaoquan was required to memorize the appearance of the people around him. The advantage of doing so was that he could get familiar with the other party, and secondly, it also prevented spies from sneaking in.
Third... This third item was added by Ma Xiaoquan in order to identify the arm strength level of these 80 or so people.
...
Elsewhere, Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui were standing together. They ran to the training ground in alarm because of the explosion of the thunder bomb. Only when they saw it did they realize that it was Ma Xiaoquan who was experimenting with thunder bombs.
Knowing that it was Ma Xiaoquan who was training troops, the two of them did not come forward to disturb them.
Man Gui said: "What on earth is the deacon trying to do? Fire off thunder bullets for no reason. That guy is too powerful. My Guan Ning cavalry doesn't dare to use it, and it can't be used well."
Yuan Chonghuan said: "That thunderbolt was originally prepared for the deacon, but now it seems that he is the only one who dares to use it."
"Having said that, why did he have to let those 80 or so people throw stones?"
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said he didn't know either.
"Hey, keep reading~"
...
After an hour, everyone took turns throwing it three times. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan basically figured out the arm strength of more than 80 people.
Among the more than 80 people, some had strong arm strength and threw three times in a row with a very stable distance, while some people threw well the first time but got worse each time after that;
There are some people who are not suitable for throwing stones. The distance they throw is not only short, but their throwing movements are also very funny.
People always compare each other, especially this time throwing stones. Although no one said it was a competition, the distance thrown proved the strength and weakness.
Therefore, those who throw well are very proud, while those who throw poorly bow their heads and remain silent.
Ma Xiao saw all the soldiers' behavior.
As the saying goes, teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Although those soldiers who cannot throw very far may not have strong arm strength, their foot strength or load-bearing capacity may be relatively stronger.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan called out those who had just thrown the basket not far away and asked each of them to take turns holding the basket and running back and forth.
Sure enough, there are indeed excellent ones among them, but of course, there are still some that cannot meet the standards.
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment while dragging his chin, then nodded and said: "Those who were able to throw very far just now, all of you stand on the left. I will ask you to form a new team. There are also those who have done well while running with the basket. You guys
Stand on the right and I will also form a new team for you."
After receiving the order, more than eighty people quickly returned to their positions. It only took a dozen breaths to complete the team.
It's just that... there are still some soldiers who didn't choose any side because they were weak in throwing stones and holding baskets.
These soldiers used to be soldiers in Guan Ning's cavalry. Although they are not elites, they lost face because of a simple competition, but...that's the fact.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, looked to the right with satisfaction, and said: "The name of your team will be called the Thunderbolt Team from now on."
"Thunderbolt Team?" Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, who were hiding not far away, looked at each other and said in unison.
"The other team, I will name you - Thunder Fire Team. Well, that is to say, you are Thunderbolt Thunder Fire Team."
The names obtained by the two teams of soldiers were equivalent to recognition. The team members were naturally very happy, while those standing in the middle who had not received names were even more disappointed.
"The people among you..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and looked at the people in the middle.
The soldiers in the middle heard the deacon calling them and quickly stood up straight.
"Although you are deficient in all aspects, it does not mean that you will not make progress. In the same way, for those in the Pili and Thunder Fire teams, you should not think that you are insured. After all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and people will die. Who of you will die?"
Now, the outstanding ones will be chosen from among the people in the middle to take the place, or if any of you are unqualified, the people in the middle will be the substitutes, do you understand?"
Everyone understood Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, and the soldiers in the middle no longer struggled.
Since you can roll, it proves that you still have a chance.
We are all men, and no man wants to lag behind others, especially the acquaintances you know.
...
Not far away, Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui looked at each other again. The former secretly admired Ma Xiaoquan's mind-attacking skills, while the latter praised Ma Xiaoquan's good teaching.
"This Ma Xiaoquan really has two skills." Man Gui said.
Yuan Chonghuan hummed and said, "That's true, but I don't know if those eighty-odd people can help him take Qiantun."
"Yeah~"
...
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan had already noticed Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui. Although they were hiding very well, the thunder bombs made such a loud noise before that they must have come to the scene to see the situation.
After the queues were assigned, Ma Xiaoquan announced that the Thunder Team would be responsible for throwing thunder bombs, and the Thunder Fire Team would be responsible for transporting thunder bombs. As for those who were not included in the establishment for the time being, Ma Xiaoquan would temporarily form them into his protective guard.
In this way, a team that belongs only to Ma Xiaoquan is established. In the days to come, no matter where this team goes or who it fights, it will bring huge disasters to the opponent. Of course, this is all a story later.
