For the first place in the team competition, the participant’s food and salary will be doubled and they will enjoy a glass of wine.
The name will be engraved on the honor roll.
The first place in the individual competition will be awarded the title of Han Recruit King, rewarded with ten golds, and the title will be raised by three levels.
The second place will be rewarded with hardware, and the title will be promoted to the second level.
The third place will be rewarded with three gold medals and the title will be upgraded by one level.
After Wang Ding announced the rewards, the recruits trained even harder.
As long as you have thoughts about the Recruit King, you must train yourself like a dead dog every day, until there is no strength in your body, until you can't even move your fingers, and you are dragged back by your companions.
"Tieniu, you must be the recruit king this time." In the camp, it was not time to turn off the lights yet. Everyone was lying on the bed, talking to each other, and every word was related to the recruit competition.
"If I can't do it, I will be satisfied if I have the third place." Tie Niuhan smiled.
He is tall and strong as an ox, and he feels at home here.
Since joining the army, he no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat and has endless energy every day.
The title was promoted to three levels, and the reward was ten golds. Iron Niu's eyes were shining with light.
Fragrant, so fragrant.
Those veterans have participated in many wars, and there are still many who do not have titles.
"Brother Tieniu, even if he is ranked third, he is still very powerful."
Other recruits in the same camp said with envy.
They also want to participate, but they all know themselves. Their strength is very different from Tieniu.
"Brother Tieniu, please protect us more from now on."
Tie Niu smiled naively and said, "Don't worry, I will be protecting you in the army from now on."
These relatively weak recruits all understand that if they perform well in the recruit competition, especially if they can get a ranking, they will definitely prosper in the future and be valued by several generals.
Moreover, during the competition of new recruits, the cavalry general will also watch the whole process. If you are favored by the cavalry general, you will really rise to the top in one step. Even if you just become the bodyguard of the cavalry general, your status will be much better than that of ordinary soldiers. In the army, they can also see Wang Ding's five hundred personal guards training.
Not only the recruits, but also the veterans, there are many people who want to become Wang Ding's bodyguard.
It's just that Wang Ding has no intention of recruiting more personal guards now, and in this Battle of Hanzhong, his personal guards did not lose much. After returning to Chang'an, he only added dozens of people.
They are all elites selected from veterans.
Dangdang...
Outside the camp, there were soldiers beating golden gongs and shouting at the same time: "Blow the lamp. Sleep in peace."
The fires in the tents that were still lit with candles were quickly extinguished, and the recruits who were still chatting shut their mouths in an instant.
In the camp, apart from the sound of golden gongs, there was only the shouting of patrolling soldiers.
Wang Ding came out of the military camp with a dozen personal guards in the cold wind.
He was riding a bay-red horse. Lu Hao, holding a torch in one hand and the reins in the other, followed Wang Ding.
There is still a curfew in Chang'an City, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at night. Only those with Wang Dingfa's pass order can enter and exit at night.
Otherwise, if you are caught by the patrolling sergeants, you will be punished as espionage.
The cool moonlight shines on the long silent street.
Then there was the sound of horse hooves.
The soldiers in charge of night patrols were not surprised by this. They knew that this was Wang Ding coming out of the military camp and preparing to return to the Wang family.
However, a patrol team still appeared in front of Wang Ding. After confirming that it was Wang Ding, the patrol team gave way to the long street and let Wang Ding pass.
They know their responsibilities, and they also know Wang Ding's character.
As long as it is within their duties, even if they stop Wang Ding, they will not be punished.
On the contrary, if they fail to check the sudden appearance of the cavalry, they will be punished by Cui Jun the next day.
Wang would be surprised that there was no patrol to inspect such a big movement while riding on Chang'an Street at night.
Even if he returns home at this time every day, the patrol team should come to confirm his identity.
Just because we are accustomed to it, we cannot automatically assume that Wang Ding must be riding a horse in the middle of the night. Maybe he is someone who wants to rebel one day.
As a patrol team patrolling Chang'an City at night, they cannot have this subconscious habit.
Every night, there are ten patrol teams patrolling the streets in Chang'an City at the same time, and the routes are intersecting and not fixed.
Wang Ding rode a bay-red horse and ran past the patrol.
There are only two streets away from Wang's house.
When the sound of horse hooves left, the patrol continued to the next long street.
Normally, when Wang Ding goes from the military camp to his residence, he will encounter three patrol teams.
There must be a patrol team in the three long streets. If an accident does happen, it can be ensured that the patrol team can arrive as soon as possible.
Horse hooves stepped on Qingshi Street, making a dense clicking sound.
Wang Ding walked through a long street again, and the mansion was already in front of him. He could see two lanterns hanging high outside the mansion.
Surrounding the Wang family are the residences of other ministers. This long street is the brightest long street in Chang'an City at night. Even if there is no moonlight at night, walking in front of this long street does not require torch lighting.
.
Suddenly, the maroon horse under Wang Ding made a long neigh. Without Wang Ding's control, it stood up on its own initiative, raised its two front legs high, and stood upright, almost knocking Wang Ding off the horse to the ground. Wang Ding's current riding skills are no longer the same as before.
He reacted quickly. His left hand, which was originally holding the reins, passed in front of the long neck of the bay-red horse and wrapped around the bay-red horse. His body was also tightly against the bay-red horse, preventing it from being knocked over to the ground.
Ding ding ding!
Just in front of Wang Ding, within a space of only three feet, dozens of arrows appeared instantly.
Wang Ding broke into a cold sweat.
In Chang'an City, on his way home, just a few dozen feet away from his mansion, he encountered an ambush.
If the bay red horse hadn't sensed danger and made an emergency stop just now, Wang Ding might have been shot into a hedgehog.
Lu Hao and a dozen other guards reacted instantly and surrounded Wang Ding.
Their position just now was a little slower than Wang Ding's, and the arrows were also directed at them, and they were not injured.
At the same time that dozens of arrows were shot in front of Wang Ding, a dozen men in black jumped out from the roofs on both sides.
Obviously, this was a well-planned assassination.
They already knew that Wang Ding would appear here at this time, so they set up an ambush early and prepared crossbows.
Fortunately, there are only a dozen or so people.
Wang Ding let out a long breath, and the two front legs of the bay-red horse landed firmly on the ground.
It was only more than fifty feet away from the mansion, but Wang Ding did not escape.
The dozen men in black in front of them gave up using crossbows and jumped from the roof, just to prevent him from escaping.
The crossbow reloaded arrows very slowly, and they had no chance to fire the second round.
"Eighteen people."
Wang Ding determined the opponent's number in an instant.
