Si Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart when he heard the words of the military commander of Wei Dynasty named Er Niu.
"Wei Wuzu's recruitment test standards for new recruits have been lowered."
"I remember Senior Brother once mentioned that the duration used to be ten breaths, but now it has been reduced to five breaths. The reduction is so drastic."
"No wonder the combat effectiveness of Wei's soldiers is getting weaker and weaker..."
Except that Wei State cannot afford to raise real Wei soldiers.
Even the entry standards for selecting new recruits of Wei soldiers have been lowered so drastically. The current weakness of the Wei state has become so obvious.
"It's not unreasonable for Master and Senior Brother to look sad all day long." Si Yuan thought to himself while observing the situation on the field.
Twelve stone crossbow.
If you just cock the arrow, draw it away, and then shoot it immediately, almost anyone present can do it.
But if you pull up the bowstring and draw the arrow, don't shoot.
In addition, the body and arms must not tremble or shake, and remain stable enough to aim at the target.
Lasts for five breaths.
That's not a difficult thing.
At least among the current testers, after five rounds of testing, only three people have met the passing standards and are now listed separately.
Take a short rest and wait for the next test project to unfold.
As for those who couldn't even pass the first level, they could only leave with regrets and a look of disappointment on their faces.
"The next group of people, come out and test!"
Erniu's familiar voice echoed on the training ground.
Si Yuan came back to his senses and stopped thinking wildly. He and the other nine people in the same column with him stepped forward.
Each came to a twelve-stone crossbow.
It's said to be a crossbow, but its shape looks more like a longbow.
The length of the special arrow placed on the side is actually 110 centimeters. This size is far longer than the 30 or 40 centimeters of ordinary arrows.
"Everyone listen!"
"Load the arrow, pull the string, and hold five breaths without trembling or trembling."
Hear the summons order.
Si Yuan and the other nine people stretched out their hands almost simultaneously without any hesitation.
He grabbed the twelve-stone crossbow with his left hand, grabbed the special arrow with his right hand, cocked the arrow and pulled the string, all in one go.
Among the ten people in this round, Si Yuan performed the most easily. His current one-arm arm strength has already exceeded two thousand kilograms.
Not to mention stabilizing the current five-breath time.
Even if it was a stable ten-breath time, it can still be done easily and effortlessly.
But others were not as relaxed and at ease as he was. Many of them tried their best and suppressed their faces until they were able to draw the twelve-stone crossbow.
But his arms and body were shaking involuntarily.
Ten people.
In addition to Si Yuan, there is another young man who can still maintain a stable state without trembling.
Just looking at his face, it was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength.
Secretly gritting his teeth and holding on.
"Si Yuan and Liu Changqing passed the test and entered the next test!"
"Others are not qualified!"
"The next round of testers, come out!"
This round of ten people put down their crossbows and arrows, and eight people walked towards the exit of the training ground, turning back three times at a time.
The loss and sadness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
Only Si Yuan and Liu Changqing who passed this level stayed.
Standing on the other side with the three people who passed before, they have a quarter of an hour of rest to recover their strength.
Si Yuan clearly remembers it.
Senior Brother once mentioned that in the past, there was no rest time at all during the selection of new recruits for Wei soldiers.
After passing the first level test, you will immediately proceed to the second level test.
If it can pass.
Then the third level test will be started immediately, and only those who pass it all at once can become the new recruits of Wei Zhiwu soldiers.
"Three tests, I have passed the first arm strength test." Si Yuan stood with the other four people, pretending to rest, and thought to himself: "The second test is a full set of heavy armor and weapons equipped with Wei soldiers.
Food, etc., and carry out a hundred-mile run with heavy loads.”
"The time requirement must not exceed two hours."
"The final test is to engage in battle with elite ordinary soldiers who are waiting for work immediately after passing the second level."
"Only those who can compete without defeat for thirty breaths are qualified."
"The third level is a comprehensive test of personal physical strength, endurance, resilience, willpower, etc."
…
…
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Si Yuan and others received a complete set of equipment belonging to the Wei soldiers and began to wear them on themselves.
They are a set of three-attribute heavy armor, a two-foot-four-foot long spear, a fine steel long sword, a twelve-stone crossbow, fifty special arrows, a bronze alloy helmet, and the three-day standard for Wei warriors
One bag of rations.
Take a little time.
Wait until you wear all these things and fix them on your body.
Si Yuan weighed it secretly and found that the weight he had estimated before was still slightly too light.
The weight of the whole body is about 550 kilograms, which is the measurement unit of past life memory.
"The full-body heavy armor equipment of Wei soldiers is really heavy. Ordinary soldiers can't wear it at all."
He gently waved the Chang Ge held in his right hand.
It is two feet and four feet long, and its entire body is forged from refined iron mixed with other unknown metals. Just such a metal spear easily weighs over a hundred kilograms.
He turned around and looked at the others, and found that someone else was wearing the full set of equipment of Wei Wuzu.
Take advantage of this free time.
Si Yuan quickly looked around the entire training ground and secretly estimated its length visually.
"The shape is similar to a track and field. The two lengths and two widths added together just meet the standard of Wei Guo's weights and measures of one mile."
"In two hours, after running 100 laps with a weight of 550 kilograms, I still have enough energy left for the battle in the third level."
"Even if the entrance examination standards for Wei Wuzu are weakened, not everyone can join."
Really experience this scene personally.
Si Yuancai understood more and more why Wei's military soldiers made other princes and states change their minds and became frightened after hearing the news.
The current one is still a weakened version of Wei Wuzu that was produced due to the weakening of Wei State.
It is not a real Wei Wu soldier in complete form.
"There is indeed a reason why the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty can be famous throughout the ages, shock the world, and achieve a miraculous record of undefeated wars."
"It's a pity that it's only a semi-finished product now, and Wei Guo can't afford it."
"The replenishment of new blood is too slow."
Wait until everyone else is ready.
Er Niu looked around at the crowd, then suddenly gave an order and shouted loudly.
"Everyone listen!"
"March a hundred times around this training ground within two hours."
"After completing this content, immediately engage in a battle with elite ordinary soldiers standing in the center of the training ground. Those who can maintain thirty breaths without losing can be considered as soldiers of the Wei Dynasty."
"Start testing!"
After hearing the order, Si Yuan didn't hesitate at all. He clenched the Chang Ge with his right hand and tilted its tip upwards.
Run with weight at a constant speed in a marching posture.
