The Rebirth of a Star General
Chapter 34
One summer day, it was dawn. They wake up earlier than before. This was the first time they had arrived in Liangzhou last night, so everyone was excited and inevitably slept late at night. When they arrived at the training ground, everyone was sleepy and some were even wearing shoes upside down.
Shi Tou was fine, but Xiao Mai and Hong Shan were walking while tying their belts. The two saw that He Yan was full of energy and asked puzzledly, "A He, aren't you sleepy?"
"I went to bed earlier last night, so I got enough sleep," He Yan replied.
Xiao Mai praised, "You're amazing!"
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the training ground. Since today was the first day, they remained in line as per the previous schedule. On the high platform stood a strong man wearing a red suit. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was tall like a tree. He held a long spear in his hand and looked very impressive.
"Who is that?" asked He Yan.
"He is the instructor in charge of overseeing our training, Shen Jiaotou." Xiao Mai was a nosy person, so he had already wondered.
He Yan nodded, but in his heart, he thought that Xiao Jue would personally come to train the soldiers. He had not expected that he would not even see her today. Speaking of which, even though they were all young men who joined the army and were given the title of generals, each general had his own way of training soldiers. He Yan wanted to see Xiao Jue's method and secretly learn from it. However, it seems that it is impossible for now.
"I'm your chief instructor, Shen Han." Shen Jiaotou's voice was like a bell. The training ground at the foot of Baiyue Mountain was surrounded by mountains, so listening to his voice made the scalp tingle. "From today onwards, I will lead you." He shook up the military list. "Now, let's start the scroll!"
The absentee call must be prompt. Today is the first absence call. After a few days, the soldiers would be divided into five, one hundred, one brigade, and one division. Then, five appointed commanders, one hundred commanders, one brigade commander, and one thousand commanders would be in charge of absenteeism, saving a lot of time.
These groups of people were all unaffiliated soldiers recruited from the capital. They had never received any training before. After listening to someone summon an army for several hours, they could only stand in the martial arts arena. He just felt uncomfortable and moved his body from time to time. Xiao Mai whispered to her brother, "Sister, A He Ge is not moving. Looks like a piece of Shi Tou."
Shi Tou looked at He Yan.
Compared to him, He Yan seemed to be more deserving of this name. He stood upright like a pine tree with his hands on his side. His eyes brightened as he looked at the tall platform. He did not look tired or bored. It gave people the illusion that he could still stand like this even after two hours.
Shi Tou thought of the time when he and Xiao Mai were hunting in the mountains. There are wild animals in the mountains. As the ferocious beasts caught the wild rabbits, they also hid quietly in the grass without moving. At first glance, they looked like a lifeless piece of Shi Tou. He had been hunting with Xiao Mai for many years. He was fine, but Xiao Mai was unwilling to go down. Why could He Yan do it? He heard from Hong Shan that He Yan joined the army because his family was in trouble. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to have a good family background. Why would such a person have such patience and perseverance like a wild beast?
After all, He Yan did not need to hunt.
He did not get an answer from his contemplation. The absentee call has ended.
Shen Jiaotou closed the military list book and said, "From today onwards, a hundred people will form a team. Each team will have one instructor. You will practice here, set up formations, and practice how to charge! Today, I will teach you military orders! " At this point, Shen Han's face showed a smile. For some reason, when everyone saw this smile, they only felt a chill in their hearts.
Sure enough, they heard Shen Han shout, "You didn't answer the call, you didn't come on time, and you didn't come on time. This is called a slow-moving army. Those who break this rule will be shaken! Today, you're a minute late. You must be punished according to military law. However, since this is your first offense, I will be lenient. "
Everyone's heart skipped a beat after hearing his words. As soon as they landed, they heard the emotionless voice of the stern instructor.
"Everyone, bring a sandbag and run around the barracks. Ten rounds! You cannot miss a single round. The instructor of each team will take care of you. Anyone who dares to slack off will be punished according to military law! "
Everyone present breathed in cold air.
The training ground at the foot of Mount Baiyue was a barrack. One round is at least one li in length. Ten rounds in length was over ten li. They still have to carry sandbags. When they wake up in the morning, it is still morning and they do not feel hot. Now, after being absent, the sun was already high in the sky. It was hot and hung over their heads. Just standing there made them sweat nonstop.
Xiao Mai said, "A He Ge, what Shen Jiaotou said is exactly the same as what you said. Hey, how do you know he's gonna say that?"
How does he know? Naturally, because when he entered the barracks, the situation was the same. Just like the baton of assassins, new recruits were first placed in its place and told them that they did not join the army to enjoy life. Even if not for this, Shen Han would have found another reason to punish them.
"Remember more military orders." He Yan patted the young man's shoulder. "It's good for you."
Xiao Mai nodded, not fully understanding.
Sure enough, according to what Shen Han said, there were so many soldiers and they were divided into teams of a hundred people. Everyone went to collect sandbags. He Yan initially thought that the sandbags were the size of a palm, just like the ones he and He Yunsheng used to cut firewood in the mountains. They can be tied to the feet. However, when he reached the end, his eyelids twitched.
The sandbags were the size of bundles. It was not tied to the feet, but carried in the back. It was heavy to carry and definitely not comparable to his sandbags.
"Damn it, running ten rounds with this thing on your back, that's too much!" Shouted Hong Shan.
Xiao Mai silently looked at He Yan's expression. He Yan's calm face finally broke as he picked up the sandbag. Xiao Mai quietly sighed in relief. It seemed like A He Ge was also an ordinary person and was not almighty.
He Yan did not know what to say.
When he trained the new members, in order to increase their physical strength, they had to run with weights. However, it was done gradually. Most of the time, he used the sandbags he had made in the He family. They gain weight little by little.
In the past, he had no idea about Xiao Jue's training methods. Now, he finally knows. Xiao Jue was extremely fierce from the start. She did not expect Xiao Jue to be so cruel even though she had a beautiful face. He was still underestimating how ruthless Xiao Jue was.
He is a cruel man.
"A He, you ..." Hong Shan was about to ask if he needed his help to carry the sandbag on his back when He Yan took the sandbag and tied it to his body.
He's too skinny and small. In a military camp full of men, she looks like an immature teenager. The sandbag was large and heavy, and while on its back, it seemed to make it shorter. He looked very pitiful and staggered.
Shi Tou was a man who did not say much, but he could not bear it anymore. He simply said to her, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He Yan smiled at him.
When they saw her smiling face, they were a little relieved. They thought he was young and strong. Although he looked thin and weak, he still had strength.
He Yan cursed Xiao Jue a million times in his heart.
With such a burden, it was certainly no problem for him to pass. However, Lady He had a delicate body. No matter how hard he tried, he could not turn Lady He into Hercules overnight.
Because of that, it was very heavy.
