The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 5 Training
Zhao Xu was very satisfied with the reactions below. This was what he wanted. Judging from their reactions, they could still be trained into normal imperial guards.

"Since you are not cowards, prove it to me. See if there is a pile of wood over there. Everyone carry it for me and run a hundred laps around the school grounds. Come on, and walk over there first."

Picking up a thick piece of wood, he started running along the huge school field, and the hundred or so people behind him also rushed to run.

After all, no one wants to bear the infamy of being a coward, it's worse than death, even if you can't stand it, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

Look at the partners beside them, even if they can't hold on anymore, they have to hold on, not to be looked down upon by others, not to be a coward, this is the only thought in their hearts.

It is true that this group of soldiers hadn't exercised for a long time, and they were so tired that they were out of breath and sweating profusely after less than a lap.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu was very relaxed, as if the weight on his body didn't exist.To him, this is definitely a child's play. When he was training at the base, he had to wear an iron vest, let alone a simple piece of wood now?

This was also due to the fact that Zhao Xu had good physical fitness and was trained by his grandfather to be a soldier, otherwise it would not be so easy at this time!
Everyone looked at this perverted Xindutou, Nima, you are taking a walk, but it is more of admiration for him.

Who would have known that this guy who looks like a little boy is so perverted, we can't be compared to him.

All of a sudden, a scene of hundreds of people racing with thick logs appeared on the school field. Although the speed was getting slower and slower, no one was left behind.

Because no one wants to bear the infamy of being a coward, and when the partner next to him is about to collapse, someone immediately supports him and continues to run.

Sweat had soaked their clothes, and it was uncomfortable to wear armor on their bodies. Some people were simply bare-chested. Under the sunlight, their bronze-colored skin was very dazzling.

By the time the [-] laps were actually completed, not many of us could stand up, but under Zhao Xu's order, everyone still stood up tremblingly.

It could be clearly seen that their arms and legs were shaking. This was due to extreme muscle fatigue. Even Zhao Xu was trembling.

Fortunately, the inner strength mentality of the previous life relieved his pain very well.Looking at the crooked soldiers standing below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in a flash, and he didn't pay attention

"Look at how tired you are after just such a long journey. If you have to march in a hurry in the future, can you keep up? You also said that you are not a waste, you are not a coward, and you will run a hundred laps every day from tomorrow. There are training subjects I prepared for you..."

He scanned the crowd: "But let me tell you, my training will be very difficult. It is specially prepared for real soldiers with courage and perseverance. Those who are timid, lazy, and think they are cowards should not come. It’s still embarrassing to come, don’t worry, if you don’t come, I will ask His Majesty to let the next group of people replace you.”

"All we want"

"All we want"

……

Responses rang out from below in unison.

This Zhao Xu is too evil. Didn't you listen to him? Those who don't come to train are cowards and trash. Even if anyone doesn't want to come, he can't afford to lose him.

"Okay, let me explain in advance that my training will be very hard and completely different from previous training. There may be surfing during training. Think about it clearly, this is training for warriors."

"We are not afraid of Dutou, we are not afraid."

Seeing that his agitation had worked, Zhao Xu waved his hand:

"Since you are all willing, I am announcing a few orders below, and you must obey them, otherwise the military law will be followed." The voice was full of cruelty.

First, obey orders.

Second, obey orders.

Third, obey orders.

"Are you listening clearly, otherwise the military law will not recognize people at that time." Zhao Xu's voice resounded throughout the school grounds.

"Listen clearly."

"The voice is so low, it looks like a girl, can you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly."Everyone shouted at the top of their voices.

"Say it again"

"We heard clearly." This time I even used the strength of breastfeeding.

They didn't dare not to hear clearly. In military law, the lightest is hitting with a military stick, and the most serious one can be beheaded.

Zhao Xu asked them to go down to rest, and ordered the corporal leaders and chief officers to find some carpenters.

Some soldiers were also asked to pick up shovels and dig a few large pits on the side of the school field that were two meters deep and could accommodate four people.

And asked the carpenter to make several compared door panels, and placed them a few meters away from the big pit. In other places, wooden ladders were erected horizontally, and the height was just enough to lift people off the ground.

There are many strange things on the entire school grounds.

"What do you think our guys are doing for the first time? I've never seen such a thing. This is for us to train?" A soldier said to a brother next to him.

The man next to him was also straightforward: "Never mind him, anyway, no matter whether it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, I'm going to make up my mind. What I said today is right. I want to make meritorious service and get promoted, and I want to marry a wife to honor my mother, so I don't think it's wrong to hear it."

"Actually, I also think so, hehe, I see that our Dutou is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely be a noble person in the future."

Another person came over next to him: "Do you know that our head is called Zhao Xu, his father is Lord Zhao Kuangyin, and Lord Zhao is a celebrity around the emperor, and he will be less wealthy in the future."

I heard that this time we all went deep into the enemy's territory in the Northern Han Dynasty to search for intelligence, and were surrounded by the enemy. The other nine people died. He was surrounded by himself and killed several school captains and countless ordinary soldiers. Hero. "

This guy was full of admiration after he finished speaking, as if that person was him.

"Wang Er, whoever you listen to, you will brag." The people around also booed.

The person called Wang Er was in a hurry:

"What bragging, this is what my cousin told me. He was in the same battalion as ours at that time, but he was not sent to Beihan. He said it the last time he went home to visit relatives. Hmph, believe it or not. "

"Hey, Second Brother Wang, it's the younger brother's fault, look at my mouth" as he spoke, he twitched it a few times with his hand.

He also smiled apologetically: "Second brother Wang, please tell us in detail."

"To Wang Er, tell us something about it." The people around gathered around, fawning on their faces.

Seeing this, Wang Er's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and he started to talk about it.

……

"It seems that we all have terrible headaches. I decided to follow him. Maybe in the future, we can all have a headache." After hearing this, a soldier yelled proudly.

"That's right, we're all fucked up too"

Here they gathered together and yelled loudly, and here basically everything was ready according to Zhao Xu's instructions.Everyone got together quickly.

After a short rest, most of the people who were quite tired just now recovered.

"Brothers, have you seen these facilities? We will use these things to train you in the future. I will show you a demonstration later. What I want to say is that every time we have to run [-] laps on the school field before doing these things. train."

"Everyone be quiet, I will write down my training plan later and send it to you chief and corporal, and they will be responsible for explaining it to you. Next, I will show you the use of these things."

Zhao Xu quickly ran across the balance beam and climbed over the barbed wire fence in front of him, without touching his body.

He passed the horizontal ladder with his hands, climbed up the obstacle board, and then jumped into the deep pit in front of him, and quickly jumped out again.

The whole person seemed very relaxed, without any discomfort.

But the people below were puzzled that it was so simple and required training, and they all looked at Zhao Xu with doubts.Zhao Xu knew what they were thinking.

"If any brother thinks about it, he can try it first." Zhao Xu smiled slightly.

Immediately, several people ran over to a piece of wood that seemed to be easy to pass, but it turned out that they couldn't pass it.

The rope in front crawled forward, and many people's buttocks were scratched because there were a lot of barbed wire hanging on it.

Most of the wooden obstacles can be passed, and most of them fall down halfway through the horizontal ladder with their hands. Besides, those who jumped into the deep pit failed to jump out.

At that time, there was a person who had really completed the whole process. This guy was Gao Huailiang, a recruit, and Zhao Xu noticed him.

Everyone stood there dejectedly, it was too embarrassing, I thought it was very simple, but now...

"Okay, everyone, don't be discouraged. As long as you persist, you can do it one day. From tomorrow, everyone will start formal training. If you don't understand anything, you can ask this brother Gao."

After speaking, he pointed to Gao Huailiang beside him, which flattered him.Then he wrote a copy, the basic method of military training in the previous life, to train this group of people.

Such as knee ups, sit ups, 180-degree turns to raise knees and abdomen, straight legs to raise hips, right-angle support, ingots and other physical training things to train them.

This was what he designed for these people at the time, but whoever imagined that it would indeed be extended to the entire army one day in the future.

From the second day onwards, everyone held back their energy and began to train according to Zhao Xu's method. On the first day, no one except Gao Huailiang could pass it completely.

On the second day, on the third day, and until the fourth day, someone was able to complete this training completely, and in the following days, people have been able to do it.

Of course, Zhao Xu also asked them to practice swords, guns, swords and halberds proficiently in the use of various weapons. After more than a month of training, everyone has made great progress.

Even in the semi-annual competition in the army, he achieved a good ranking. Zhao Xu was awarded by Chai Rong, and he was specially appointed as the battalion's deputy commander.

And the place where they are located has also been awarded by Chai Rong. Everyone's faces are bright, and everyone admires Zhao Xu very much.

Gao Huailiang was also promoted by Zhao Xu to be a superintendent, and he was trusted by Zhao Xu.

At this moment, news came from the north that the Northern Han Dynasty and Khitan marched together and were defeated in the next week. Zhao Xu knew that the Battle of Gaoping was coming soon.
