The recruit competition that has been prepared for a long time has finally begun.
Fan Chou, Li Su and others have already selected their own soldiers. They have all carefully selected those who performed the best in the recruit training.
Fifty thousand recruits, plus more than 2,000 from Jingzhou, there will be a total of seven teams in this team competition.
Each team has 500 people.
At this moment, they have gathered in the school grounds according to their respective square formations.
Seven square formations, a total of 3,500 people.
Everyone is wearing armor and holding a spear.
Fan Chou, Li Su, Duan Xuan, Han Sui, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing and Xu Huang, seven teams are responsible for them respectively.
But at this moment, seven people are also sitting next to Wang Ding. Wang Ding, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu Sima Lang are the main judges of this competition. Each team will be scored, and the one with the highest score wins.
The first competition has already begun.
Seven teams competed at the same time, a military posture competition.
Standing in military posture for an hour and changing the queue.
The seven teams will act according to Zhang Liao's orders and flags.
Anyone who can be selected from more than 50,000 people is already an outstanding person. There is not much problem with military appearance.
Without instructions, the 3,500 people stood still as if time had stopped. They stood tall and straight, with spears standing by their sides, the tips of the spears dazzling under the scorching sun.
Zhang Liao walked to the first square formation and shouted loudly: "Turn left!"
The first square formation was the Jingzhou soldiers trained by Fan Chou, now known as the Xuanwu Camp.
After Zhang Liao's voice fell, the five hundred people all turned to the left.
Zhang Liao then shouted a few more commands. The five hundred soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp were able to obey the orders and prohibitions.
On the high platform, Wang Ding wrote a number on the notebook in front of him.
Each assessment is worth ten points.
The first number Wang Ding wrote under the Xuanwu Camp was nine.
Even though he didn't notice that someone was a little slower or made a wrong move, Wang Ding still didn't give him full marks because he was too proud.
Jia Xu and Sima Lang also scored, but Wang Ding did not go to see them.
Zhang Liao walked through the squares one by one, and the passwords were not always the same, but he basically covered all the basic contents of the training.
Zhang Liao also has a notebook in his hand. Every time he walks through a square formation, he will record the numbers in the notebook.
Some are nine points, some are eight points, and some are ten points.
Zhang Liao doesn't mind giving ten points to the team that made no mistakes.
Fan Chou and others can also score, but their scores only account for 50%.
An hour is over.
Wang Ding announced the scores of each team.
Fan Chou's team is at 9:05, Li Su's team is at 8:8, Han Sui's team is at 9:2, Xu Huang's team is at 9:2...
This score is the average of the scores given by Wang Ding and four others, including Fan Chou themselves.
Seven teams began the second assessment.
When marching ten kilometers with a heavy load, all five hundred people must arrive before it is considered an achievement. If one person is missing, it will not be considered an achievement.
Each person carries a weight of thirty kilograms, and the spear in his hand cannot be dropped.
Marching with heavy loads was difficult to carry out in the military camp, so Wang Ding and the others also moved outside the military camp.
Seven teams are ready to go.
Everyone already knows the scores in the first round, but it is only the first round. The temporary lag does not mean the final ranking. The five hundred soldiers in each team are full of confidence at this moment.
They believe that their hard work for a month will definitely pay off, and they believe that they are the strongest.
Seven teams were waiting in formation outside the military camp.
Zhang Liao once again explained the rules in front of them, and at the same time warned: "It is forbidden to step on farmland during this march. If anyone steps on farmland, the entire army will fail."
"Here."
Thirty-five hundred people shouted in unison.
……
Far away from the military camp, some common people noticed the sudden appearance of soldiers. When more than 3,000 people shouted in unison, they were so shocked that the buns in their hands fell to the ground.
The military camp is in Chang'an City, and the surrounding area is relatively empty, but occasionally people pass by.
When 3,500 people shouted in unison, there were still a few people in the distance who left in panic.
They are all spies from all sides. They cannot enter the military camp and have to stay outside every day.
It was rare to see a large number of soldiers coming out, so they ran back one by one to notify the master behind them.
Wang Ding didn't care either. He had always known that there were spies from all sides near the military camp.
If sending spies can make them feel at ease and not cause trouble, Wang Ding doesn't care.
Anyway, these spies will definitely not be able to detect information inside the military camp.
They stood guard outside the military camp, watching Wang Ding enter and exit the military camp every day.
Wang Ding didn’t publicize the recruit competition everywhere.
The military camp had been closed for several months, and now thousands of soldiers suddenly came out with high morale. Wang Ding underestimated his influence on everyone else.
Those who sent people to keep an eye on the military camp, after receiving the news from their own spies, all thought that Wang was going to do something big.
Are we going to confiscate someone’s family and exterminate their clan?
Some people even speculated whether Wang Ding was going to lead someone into the palace...
However, the people in the city soon felt relieved, including Liu Xie who was sitting in the palace.
When he received the news, he immediately called Wang Ding's father, Wang Yun.
When Liu Xie was young, he had already experienced it once, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led troops into the palace, and now he still has nightmares occasionally.
Seven teams, led by Zhang Liao, walked towards the city gate in unison.
Five hundred people form a team, with ten people in a row and fifty people in a row.
Seven teams passed through Baihu Street.
Their steps were neat and tidy, and their eyes were not squinting. Thirty-five hundred people were marching forward, and their footsteps were uniform.
People around are watching.
There are also servants of ministers from various families, as well as spies from all sides, including those in the city and those sent by princes from other states and counties to Chang'an.
"It turns out that this is the Han army."
"With such a large army, the Han Dynasty will be invincible in every battle and conquer every attack."
There was no fighting, no fighting, but only 3,500 people were seen, with their neat steps, heads held high, resolute faces, and the gleaming spears in their hands.
It’s enough to be daunting.
There are also many people who are heroic and regret that they failed to successfully sign up for the army some time ago.
Otherwise, at this moment, maybe they can walk majestically on Baihu Street.
This is the thought of the people in Chang'an City, but for other princes and spies sent to Chang'an, they looked at the Han army in front of them and were extremely fearful. They hid their bodies in the crowd and did not dare to speak.
Can their lord really defeat such an army?
There were only 3,500 people in front of them, but they all knew that the king had recruited 50,000 new soldiers some time ago.
If every recruit was like this...
They are worried about their master.
Compared with ordinary people in the city, they have more things to compare in their hearts.
Looking at the Han army in front of them, they no longer have any confidence in their lord's army.
Three thousand five hundred people quickly walked out of the city gate under the leadership of Zhang Liao. Outside the city gate, they were divided into seven teams again. Each square formation was exactly the same, and the distance between each soldier was exactly the same.
