Fenghou

Chapter 83
Chen Qing walked up to the [-] people and held up a blue flag, which meant running and training. The [-] soldiers began to quickly adjust their ranks.

A new participating battalion was formed, and five hundred soldiers lined up neatly. Their specialty was running.

Soon, there were only seven teams with [-] people left on the school field. Each participating soldier received a wooden number plate with a rope on it that could be wrapped around his wrist.

"Ready, let's go!"

The chief official gave an order, and the drums blared loudly. Fifty leading cavalry rushed out first, and [-] soldiers followed the fifty leading cavalry to the outside of the school grounds.

Running is not like military formation and archery. It is basic training. Almost every army has to do running training, even the army trained by martial arts students.

Army formation and archery require experience, so running is beneficial to the less experienced martial arts student team, but then again, each army is selected from the elite, and the natural physical strength is also the best, so running is also beneficial to the army.

Each of the seven teams has its own advantages and disadvantages, so which two teams will win, everything is in suspense.

A fifty-mile round-trip run is equivalent to a half-marathon, which can be completed in more than half an hour under normal circumstances.

More importantly, soldiers don't have to carry heavy weapons and supplies as usual, and it will be easier to run.

But this is also the case, the competition is more intense. Five hundred soldiers of the Western Army followed Liu Qiong to run. Liu Qiong was also famous for running in the Western Army. His father cultivated his running endurance since he was a child. After joining the army, he often took soldiers for long-distance training. Very rich.

"Everyone run out of rhythm!" Liu Qiong shouted.

Gradually, all the soldiers followed him and ran in a consistent rhythm, and the sound of "Ka Ka Ka" neatly running echoed on the official road.

The soldiers run very fast, and the biggest benefit of running like this is that there is a collective strength to support individual will, which greatly reduces the fatigue of each soldier.

Similar to the Western Army, Cao De's army also gathered hundreds of people to run, and followed closely behind the Western Army.

The two armies followed closely on the official road to guide the cavalry, which was very eye-catching, while the other teams were broken up, and a group of more than a dozen people ran on the official road without forming a large scale.

The turning point came. Dozens of officials changed the badges and registered soldiers on the side of the official road.At this time the tactics changed, Liu Qiong suddenly accelerated his speed, and two hundred soldiers followed him closely. They ran faster and faster, even surpassing the leading cavalry.

The Western Army team quickly split into three parts. At this time, Cao De's army also began to speed up. The previous team slowly stretched and dissipated, and the outstanding ones stood out.

Dozens of soldiers ran faster and faster, even surpassing the leading Western Army team.

Dozens more scattered soldiers overtook them.

"Don't worry, keep the rhythm!"

Liu Qiong did not desperately chase the nearly one hundred opponents who surpassed him, but continued to stabilize the rhythm and maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, but he was not too far away from the leader, and he always bit the opponent.

At this time, Zheng Ping appeared beside the official road, and he shouted: "There are still five miles!"

This is also Chen Qing's strategy, someone must remind Liu Qiong of the distance.

There are still five miles, which means that it has reached the sprint stage.

Liu Qiong turned around and shouted, "Brothers, fight with me."

Liu Qiong started sprinting with two hundred soldiers, and the soldiers began to run with all their strength, and soon surpassed Cao De by dozens of soldiers.

The opponent was also in a hurry, and ran as fast as he could.

The two teams chased after each other, and after running for two miles, Liu Qiong's collective strategy began to show its power, and his physical strength became stronger. They opened the distance from Cao De's army, and soon overtook the scattered soldiers one by one.

Less than a mile away from martial arts, the group army led by Liu Qiong surpassed the leader who had always been in the lead.

Liu Qiong ran faster and faster, two hundred soldiers followed him closely, and the crowd rushed into the gate of martial arts like lightning.

Hu Yantong shouted: "There are still two hundred steps left, fight!"

At this time, all the soldiers began to work hard, but the Western Army was unsurpassed.

Liu Qiong led two hundred soldiers across the finish line in an unstoppable manner.

Chen Qing, who was waiting here, stepped forward excitedly and hugged Liu Qiong and the soldiers.

Zhao Xiaoyi led the logistics soldiers and quickly stepped forward with sugar water.

Liu Guangshi, the governor of the capital, and the chief officials were stunned. Two hundred people from the Western Army came together, and most of the first three hundred people were divided among them.Is this still a way out for others?
…………

The drums of celebration in the camp were loud, and the victorious army rejoiced and beamed, and rewarded the soldiers by slaughtering pigs and sheep.

But the failed barracks was silent, the soldiers were downcast, and the generals complained to each other, but there was no way, most of the soldiers were doomed to serve as foils.
Most of the teams were eliminated on the first day of the competition. Among the thirty-five armies, only ten armies entered the semi-finals.

Cao De's army also entered the semi-finals, running the remaining [-] indicators, they grabbed [-], ranked second in the fire group, and successfully advanced.

The draw of lots for the rematch was held in the Yanwu hall of martial arts, and Takayoga, a doctor of the Ministry of War, was in charge of the draw.In the lobby, Gao Yong was chatting with several generals. At this moment, an official stepped forward and gave him a wink. Gao Yong smiled apologetically and walked aside with the official.

"What's up!"

The official said in a low voice, "Wang Bo said to change his previous plan. He asked to confront Liu Guangshi's army."

Gao Yong frowned, and he was really dissatisfied: "What tricks are they doing? They want me to take special care of them for a while, and they have to change their plans for a while. Does he think Liu Guangshi's army is weak?"

"The specific reason is not clear, but they must have given up on the previous plan. Beizhi thinks this is actually good. At least the confrontation with Liu Guangshi's army will not arouse everyone's suspicion."

Qin Hui greeted Gao Yong and asked him to take care of Wang Bo as appropriate. Before Wang Bo's team was drawn in the army, he had relaxed his scoring. Wang Bo's army entered the semi-finals with the first place in the group.

Wang Bo also asked to play against the Western Army in the rematch. Gao Yong fully understood this requirement. The Western Army's foundation is very weak. It is the Ximenxiang Army in Lin'an. gap.

Wang Bo obviously wanted to pick up soft peaches.

Of course, the premise is that the Western Army can only be arranged if they reach the semi-finals.

But Wang Bo actually wanted to fight against the powerful Cao De army. I really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?

A sneer appeared on the corner of Gao Yong's mouth, since he wants to seek death by himself, then let him be fulfilled!

"When!" The bell rang for the lottery.

The lottery is drawn by Gao Yong. There are ten lots in total, and two lots are drawn once.

Divide into five pairs and fight each other.Under the gaze of the captains of the ten teams, Gao Yong drew the first pair.

"The Third Army of Martial Arts vs. the Right Army of Shenwu"

The Third Martial Arts Army is Wang Bo's team, and the Shenwu Right Army is Cao De's army.

Wang Bo glanced at Chen Qing from a distance, secretly annoyed in his heart, he always wanted to take advantage of Chen Qing, the Xiang army was very weak, even though Chen Qing's army took the first place in the Huozi group, it was running and could not change the nature of the Xiang army's weak brigade .

It's just that at a critical moment, his uncle actually asked him to choose Cao De's army instead, which was Liu Guangshi's army!
Wang Bo was unwilling, but he was helpless.

Gao Yong drew out the fourth pair and announced loudly: "The fourth pair, the Western Army will face the Shenwu Left Deputy Army."

"Why didn't the lottery be drawn according to the original plan?"

Zhang Zongyan was really dissatisfied that Wang Bo decided on such an important matter without discussing it with him, and decided on his own.

"Wang Yanei, Cao De is Liu Guangshi's most powerful general, with rich combat experience, and his army is also selected from tens of thousands of recruits. He can be called the elite of the elite. We may not be his opponent.

But Chen Qing's army is different. His army is weak. It is the former Xiang army. Two months of hard training is not enough. It will take at least two or three years to be completely reborn. Fast, but they are a real underdog. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Zongyan couldn't bear the anger in his heart, "Ya Nei, this is our opportunity, you should discuss it with me first, and you shouldn't just give up the original plan!"

Of course Wang Bo would not tell Zhang Zongyan that this was what his uncle meant. He argued: "You don't know Chen Qing, he is very cunning, plus I had conflicts with him before, once we defeat him, he will be dissatisfied and will definitely Investigating us secretly, I am afraid that he will discover the secrets of the army, and the loss outweighs the gain.”

Wang Bo's explanation still made some sense, Zhang Zongyan said sullenly: "I'm really not sure of defeating Cao De. If I lose, I hope Mr. Qin will not blame me!"

Wang Bo squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I have a solution. Even if Cao De's army has [-]% strength, they won't be able to do so."

...........
What Chen Qing drew was Li Heng's army, which Chen Qing didn't understand, or even know nothing about.

Although Li Heng held a high official position, he did not leave any traces in history.
"This Li Heng used to be the emperor's confidant, but he didn't get along very well in the past two years." Hu Yantong once again played the role of a know-it-all.

"Why didn't you mix well?" Chen Qing asked puzzled.

Hu Yantong smiled slightly and said: "In fact, everyone in the army knows about this kind of thing. You may be far away and don't know much. Li Heng did not perform well in the Liu Miao Rebellion and was defeated by Miao Fu's army. The emperor did not pursue his responsibility, but the emperor has become more indifferent to him since then, and Gu Shigu has become a new favorite."

"How strong is Li Heng's army?" Chen Qing asked again.

"The strength is definitely not weak, but it's not the strongest either. Li Heng has recruited [-] recruits this year. It should not be a big problem to select [-] elite soldiers from the [-] soldiers, but it will still be inferior to Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun's army. Probably similar to Wang Bo's army."

At this moment, Zheng Ping hurried in and said to Chen Qing solemnly: "I just got the news that Cao De's army suffered from severe diarrhea, vomiting and diarrhea, and dozens of soldiers have died."

Chen Qing and Hu Yantong glanced at each other, and they both thought of Wang Bo at the same time. Only Wang Bo could do such a despicable plot. "

"Do you want to tell Cao De?"

Hu Yantong clenched his teeth, the hatred in his heart burst out from his eyes.

Chen Qing shook his head, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Simply let the storm come more violently!"
