"Now let's start the test. It's still the same old rule. If you can write the ten words taught today, you will be rewarded with a copper coin."
Tong Xuan looked at everyone as if nothing had happened, as if the battlefield ahead had nothing to do with him.
Others don't think so. There are more than 2,000 people in the Black Sheep Army, but you went to a hundred. Although we are illiterate, we can do arithmetic!
Maybe after people looted the old city, they turned around and looted the new city. After all, there is a lot of food and materials stored here.
Malanqi said: "Mr. Tong, the enemy is powerful, should you... evade temporarily, evade temporarily..."
"You want to say to avoid the edge temporarily?"
"Yes, avoid the edge for now!"
Tong Xuan smiled and said: "Not to mention that the enemy hasn't come over yet, even if it comes in front of us, we should pick up weapons and fight to the death. What do men have to be afraid of?"
"But, we...we are all ordinary people..."
“What about ordinary people?”
Beilin shook her head, suddenly put away the smile on her face, and said seriously: "Only when a man is honest and upright can he guard the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon. If there is a strong enemy, he should pick up the sword.
, fight for your life, rather than compromise and let others slaughter you. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your parents, wife and children? "
These words were deafening. Although most people present could not understand them, they could feel the momentum behind them.
But the problem is...they have strong soldiers and horses, so they can't defeat him!
With all his passion, he can only die.
At this moment, a burst of firecracker-like gunfire came from the direction of the old city.
Everyone's faces turned pale. The Black Sheep Legion had matchlock guns, which could kill people from a hundred steps away. The hundreds of Ming soldiers who had just rushed over were afraid that they would be killed just by looking at them...
Wait a moment!
This sound is wrong...
Malanqi looked surprised and asked: "Mr. Tong, what is this... sound?"
Tong Xuan said with great confidence on his face: "This is awesome, it's called a machine gun!"
"What is a machine gun...?"
"As the name suggests, it's a musket that relies on a mechanism in the chamber to fire continuously. You won't understand it even if I talk about it too much, but it's pretty powerful anyway!"
Chug tug tug...
As he spoke, the gunshots became more intense.
Everyone looked in the direction of the old city in surprise, because their parents, wives, and children were all at home. The Black Sheep Army was cruel by nature. They not only robbed, but also killed people. Now they could only rely on this Ming army to perform miracles.
About a quarter of an hour later, the rain of gunfire suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was panicked again. In their consciousness, the gunfire suddenly stopped. The only possibility was that the cavalry of the Black Sheep Legion broke through the fire net and rushed into the Ming army's formation.
As long as the cavalry rushes in, the consequences can be imagined...
Malanchi asked cautiously: "Mr. Tong, why did the gunfire stop?"
Tong Xuan smiled lightly and said: "It's over."
"ah?"
"The battle is over. I asked you guys to take the test quickly. I have something to do when I get back!"
Seeing Tong Xuan's impatient look, Ma Lanqi, the class representative, had no choice but to ask others to start the test.
It's said to be a test, but it's actually just dictating the ten words he just learned. If he can write it, it will be over in a moment. If he can't write it, he won't be able to write it even if he is given three days.
Therefore, the test time given by Tong Xuan is a quarter of an hour. Use a small hourglass to time it and it will end when the light leaks.
Just when all the sand was leaking out and ready to be rolled up, another noise came from the distance.
Everyone looked around and saw that it was the Ming army team that had just ran past.
The problem arises, when we went there there were only a hundred people, but when we came back... why were there still hundreds of people?
Malanqi didn't even care about the paper in his hand and stared at the passing Ming army.
Is it true that as Mr. Tong said, this Ming army just defeated the Black Sheep Legion of more than 2,000 people?
This is incredible!
What's more, the armor on these people is still bright, without a trace of blood, and they don't look like they have just fought.
However, everyone just heard the intensive gunshots. It was impossible for the Black Sheep Legion to tolerate these people opening fire, but luckily they came back.
The only explanation is that they really defeated the Black Sheep Legion!
"Malanqi, quickly retract the volume!"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
Malanchi hurriedly collected everyone's papers, more than a hundred in total.
After Tong Xuan opened it, he glanced at each page and picked out all ten words that were correct.
At the last count, there were twenty-five of them, and I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Very good. These twenty-five people will take the test papers I approved and collect the money. The rest will work hard next time and be dismissed!"
After finishing speaking, he returned to the camp with his manuscript in his arms. Because he had just discovered several problems, he needed to hold a meeting with the research team to discuss them.
Ma Lanqi took the twenty-five test papers and called their names one by one. Those who were called were happy and happy. Those who were not called had a little regret on their faces, but they were secretly competing in their hearts. They would try to get all the answers right next time and get the reward.
Although the money is not much, it makes people feel very unhappy that others can take it but they cannot.
"Saru, why are you here?"
Malanqi looked up and saw Saru running over panting, followed by more than a dozen people.
Saru gasped and asked: "Malanchi, where is the recruitment office? We want to join the army!"
"join the army?"
"Yes, join the army!"
Malanqi thought for a moment, pointed to the camp in front, and said, "Over there!"
"good!"
Saru agreed and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Malanqi.
"Hey, how's it going over there in the old city?"
"The Black Sheep Army has more than 2,000 people, more than half of whom were killed or injured, and the rest have all fled!"
"real?"
Malanqi was astonished. Did he really defeat the Black Sheep Army in such a short time?
"Of course it's true. Some of the others who were seriously injured but not dead were also killed by us!"
"You...killed the black sheep?"
"Yes, beat to death!"
Malanqi suddenly noticed that the expression on Saru's face was different.
All the unwillingness and humiliation of the past disappeared, replaced by perseverance and courage.
I just beat him to death, what's going on?
However, he still didn't believe it, after all, it was the feared Black Sheep Legion.
"You really..."
"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. The body is still on the ground. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to join the army!"
Saru seemed a little impatient. After saying a word, he turned around and ran towards the military camp.
At this moment, dozens more people came running from the direction of the old city.
When they saw Malanchi, some asked about the location of the recruitment office like Saru, and some asked about the recruitment office.
Seeing a steady stream of people coming, Malanchi finally believed it.
A force of only a hundred men defeated more than 2,000 Black Sheep Cavalry in just one encounter.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of combat effectiveness this is?
Even if Satan shows up, I'm afraid he will feel ashamed...
