Inside the Heyang city defense barracks, the scene looked quite lively.
Although the whole day's daily training has ended, all the soldiers did not go directly back to the barracks to rest.
Instead, they gathered in front of more than a dozen registration points, lining up neatly, with expressions of excitement and anticipation on their faces.
"Hutou, do you think we can be selected? Good guy, it seems that everyone wants to participate in the competition. I heard that it is not just us in Heyang, but all the cities and troops stationed in Handong County that have been conquered now,
Basically, everyone will sign up to run for election, and the number of people at least is hundreds of thousands, right?"
A soldier in the team said in a frivolous tone.
"Hey, Ernan, we don't know if you can be selected, but Hutou can definitely be selected. In just a short time, Hutou has been promoted to company commander, in charge of our entire company.
There are more than a hundred people, if Tiger Head can’t be selected, who else can be selected?”
A soldier behind this soldier said with a smile.
Even though they were chatting, the two of them still stood straight and flawless in military posture, and the queue was straight.
If you are standing in a normal military posture or standing in a queue, naturally no one will say anything to break the rules.
But this is the rest time. During normal breaks, two people are required to walk side by side in the military camp, and three or more people are required to line up in vertical lines and walk in unison. However, there is no requirement for such things as small talk.
of.
So now everyone consciously lined up in a neat queue. Waiting was boring, so they could only chat with each other to relieve their boredom.
As long as it is rest time, you can finally relax a little. Otherwise, if you keep your body and mind tense all day long and don't know how to relax properly, you will break sooner or later.
What's more, chatting with each other when nothing happens is also helpful for comrades to enhance mutual understanding and affection. Once on the battlefield, these can have a very positive effect.
"It's hard to say. This is an army-wide selection. I guess everyone will sign up, right? Just like in our camp, except for those who are particularly unsure of themselves, almost everyone who has some ideas is queuing up to sign up.
So I don’t know if I can choose it.”
Huzi, who had a scar on his face, said with a little lack of confidence.
"Hutou, please stop making trouble. There are not many officers who have signed up. Even those who have signed up are almost all platoon leaders. I have never heard of someone like you who has already become a company commander and signed up. After all, once
If you are selected, you have to start from scratch. Even if you are an officer, you can only be a top soldier first. Who wants to do this again? "
The soldier who spoke first smiled and joked.
"That's not what you are saying. This newly established Xuanjia Army is going to become the most elite army. Once selected, not only will the salary be doubled, but I heard that it will also be equipped with the latest armor and weapons. Not to mention the establishment of the Xuanjia Army
From now on, if there is a big war, it will be fought by the Xuanjia Army, and then the military merits will be much greater than when they are in the garrison in other places."
Another soldier interrupted.
"That's what I said, but only 25,000 people were selected in total, and 5,000 of them were cavalry... Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that I can't ride a horse, otherwise I would have to sign up for the cavalry. I heard that Handong County was also beaten yesterday.
We have come down, and now the entire Handong County belongs to us. The total number of various types of troops collected is estimated to have exceeded 200,000. This is almost a ratio of choosing one out of ten, which is still very difficult."
"Not necessarily. Although the newly recruited people have begun to train according to our methods, after all, the training time is not as long as ours. I don't believe they can be better than us. I am curious now, those new armors and
What are the weapons like? The power of those weapons that were called firearms before is really amazing, but unfortunately they are too few in number and we have no chance to touch them."
"Huh? You still want to touch a gun? Dream on. That thing is far away. Just press your fingers and it can beat you into a sieve. Let alone you, the leader of our group has not touched it.
Well. I heard that it is a divine object given by the gods. If there are too many of them, do we still need to fight? If each person takes a gun and just pushes it flatly, wouldn't it be over?"
After chatting for a while, a few people finally arrived at the registration point. After completing the registration procedures one by one as required, these people became obviously more excited.
"Hehe, I hope I can be chosen. The current salary is three dollars. Once it doubles, it will be six dollars. It will be more than seventy dollars a year. I can go to Linglong's house to propose marriage."
"Come on, Ernan, your Linglong is not from a small family. Your cheap father-in-law owns a noodle shop. Not to mention anything else, that shop alone is worth a small fortune in Heyang City.
One thousand guan, you are cheap, my father-in-law only has one daughter, even if you are really selected, do you want to get married with an annual salary of 70 guan? Dream on, I think it is enough to marry into a wife."
Another soldier joked with a smile.
"Fart! Linglong and I are in love! Besides! I don't care about my father-in-law's shop! In the worst case, I will have more sons in the future. Just find a son with my father-in-law's surname! Don't even think about getting married.
!What a man! How can you forget your own origin!"
The soldier known as Er Nan turned red in the face, scratched his neck and shouted.
"Hehe, don't fuck with Ernan. He almost drove his father-in-law to death. Let's talk about Hutou. We, Hutou, have been seeing each other lately, but we just don't know what we are.
It’s time to have more sisters-in-law.”
One of the soldiers directly changed the topic.
This topic was obviously more attractive, and several other soldiers immediately changed their attention.
Huzi's face turned slightly red, and he said: "She is a waitress in Zuixian Tower. Last time we won a battle, and after receiving the reward, the regiment leader invited our officers above the company to have a drink. We happened to meet that
The little maid accidentally spilled a guest's wine, and the guest wanted to beat her, but I stopped her."
"Huh? Yes! Our tiger head is a hero saving the beauty! How about it? When will you take the brothers to see it? But even if Zuixianlou is a maid in the waiting room, although she does not accompany guests, she is still bound by a bond.
Right? How much does it cost to redeem it?"
Huzi scratched his head and said even more embarrassedly: "She...the money she saved is enough to redeem the deed, so I don't need to worry."
"Huh? Really or not?! This is a big happy event for Hutou! No matter! If we are all selected, then let Hutou hold a banquet in Zuixian Tower! We want to see my sister-in-law!"
Several people immediately started cheering, which made the blush on Huzi's scarred face more and more conspicuous, making him look a bit shy.
Looking at the sunset gradually setting on the horizon, Huzi's eyes changed from sharp to gentle.
This life...is really getting more and more exciting.
