Chapter five hundred and nineteen: an eccentric exam
When Li De began to enjoy his marriage leave comfortably, another group of hard-working people who were still struggling for their future came to the second day's exam after the first day of the exam.
No matter how excited you do on the first day of the exam, you are either excited, depressed, happy, or sad, after a night of sleep, you have to cheer up and set off again.
I passed the exam today with my personal military qualities.
With the first day of examination experience, no matter who it is, he dared not take any luck. He felt that everything was under control. This exam was completely different from the martial arts exams in the previous Tang Dynasty. Just taking the exam for three consecutive days made everyone feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
They almost did useless work for the preparations for the first day's text exam, memorizing countless military tactics, and finally found that there were only a few that could be used.
It was already like this on the first day. No one knows what tricks would be played in today’s personal military quality test.
Sure enough, when everyone finished the assembly and the examiner You Yong announced the first exam content, most of the students were blown up.
The first item is to run with a full armed load of 10,000 meters.
What does this mean? A soldier put on his full armpit and carried all his equipment, and his whole body was about 40 to 50 kilograms. However, this time, they had to bring a tied bed and bring military rations for ten days.
It was not until this time that the martial arts gaze fell on the schoolyard where they took the exam yesterday. When they touched it, it made people even more disappointing. The flat schoolyard yesterday had changed a lot today. On the runway marked by white lines, various obstacles were all over it, including shallow ponds, mud land, wooden walls, single-timber bridges, and even slings.
Among the martial arts practitioners, only the guys from Li Ze's direct troops seemed very calm, because this was nothing to them. In ordinary military training, this was commonplace.
No matter what the martial artists are thinking deep in their hearts, the exam will not be determined by their intentions. Once the exam content is announced, it will be randomly drawn. Each martial artist will draw a number, and then a group of fifty people will form a group in numbers to start the exam.
This is a sport that tests the limits of the human body. It is definitely a devilish journey for those who have not undergone special training. For these martial arts practitioners, it is obviously not enough to just complete it, and they also need to get as good rankings as possible.
There is no doubt that in such exams, martial arts from the army have an absolute advantage. Not to mention that Li Ze's direct troops often conduct such long-distance armed off-road, even other troops have conducted such marches. However, ordinary martial arts have experienced too little tests of this tolerance, or their explosive power is very strong, but in this competition of endurance and tenacity, they are at an absolute disadvantage.
What made them even more desperate was that the next exam was greatly dragged down because they consumed a lot of physical strength in this exam.
After the first exam, each person only got a stick of incense to rest and started the next exam.
Step shooting.
Riding and shooting.
Equestrian.
Fighting.
Overall, the half-day exam tests the combat capability of the army after a long-distance high-intensity marching. After the test, these martial arts will be sent to the front line to act as grassroots officers, and their officers are undoubtedly the leaders who charge forward. The courage of a grassroots officer can greatly drive the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his jurisdiction.
If you run ten thousand meters and you can't fight, how can you be such an officer?
On the contrary, the upper-level generals have low requirements for these. This is also the reason why there are frequent Confucian generals in history, but there will never be any Confucian soldiers. The probability of Confucian soldiers dying on the battlefield is basically 100%.
The whole half-day exam made the martial arts students in the places who were arrogant and looked down on the military martial arts, because what they were most proud of today was greatly weakened after a 10,000-meter obstacle cross-country cross-country, and their usual kung fu could be played by 30,000% or 40%, even if they performed well. On the other hand, the martial arts students from the army had at least 70,000% or 80% of their original abilities.
After taking the exam for today's program, all the candidates received a half-day rest time.
Tomorrow will be the last item.
Group confrontation.
At this time, Li Ze was still in the Li family manor. He had just finished lunch with his father, and the whole family was sitting in the hall chatting. The bride's wife Xiaochan was using her skills to make kung fu tea for everyone.
Li Gan hurriedly walked in from outside and roughly described the situation of today's martial arts exam to Li Ze.
"Mr. Lang, you are really bad." Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled: "Which martial arts came from? Where have you practiced these? Your question is too biased."
Li Ze snorted coldly: "This is not bias. The army is not like local areas, and grassroots officers are different from senior officers. In the grassroots troops, whether officers can convince the public depends on whether you can suppress everyone? If your military skills are worse than ordinary soldiers, can you still lead troops to fight? Can soldiers convince you?"
Li Anguo, who was sitting in the top, looked better now. Jin Yuan, who once concluded that he would not have lived for a year, was ruthlessly slapped in the face. Seeing Li Anguo like this, I am afraid that there are still many years to live.
When he heard Li Ze's words, he also smiled and said, "There is only one truth among the grassroots army. Whoever has a bigger fist will speak louder. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public. It is easy to say that if your soldiers don't convince you during the war, they will be in big trouble. However, after taking this exam, the local martial arts will naturally be strengthened in this regard in the future, and it doesn't matter if they are biased."
Li Ze nodded and said, "I have taken it as a gift from Xue Ping, but this can only be put on civil servants. Those guys who are excellent in some aspects but do not have the ability to do practical things, I spent money to support them to show our eclectic talents, but in terms of the army, there is only one consideration, that is, combat effectiveness."
"Well, what will you take next year's exam?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Tomorrow's examination items have been announced, a group confrontation." Li Ze smiled and said, "Now the military camp is in chaos. Sixty people are in groups to conduct confrontation exercises. This not only tests the leadership ability of these candidates, but also tests whether they can unite, have the spirit of sacrifice, and have strong organizational discipline. You must know that in such confrontation, there must be pawns and cannon fodder. If they can't organize an effective team in one night, tomorrow's confrontation will be beaten to pieces."
In the Qianniu Guard camp, it was indeed a mess at this moment, just as Li Ze said. However, this chaos only belongs to those local martial arts, and the martial arts practitioners from the army did not care at all.
The military strategy of the first day was only possible. However, after half a day of examination, these military martial artists understood one thing. If these local martial artists are typical of strong outside and strong inside, they will be defeated miserably in tomorrow's confrontation. Therefore, the 120 martial artists from the 12th guards naturally gathered together and quickly formed two groups. Mobile::
Their grouping is orderly. First, they look at their respective positions in the army. Those with high positions are automatically ranked in front. Then they count their own contributions. Those who have great contributions are far ahead. Finally, they take off their clothes and count the scars on their bodies. Those with more scars are far ahead and fewer scars are naturally going to be the front pawn and fight to the front.
So when the local martial arts were still in chaos, they had already divided the team and selected the team leader, the leader and the leader, and then they had enough food and drink to sleep.
The local martial arts practitioners also understood a truth. They lost a lot in the exam this morning, and the military martial arts practitioners were leading significantly. If they wanted to turn around, they needed to defeat their opponents in tomorrow's confrontation.
But one problem is that these local martial arts are all people who call for the wind and rain on their respective fields. Tomorrow's confrontation obviously requires leaders, commanders and soldiers. So whoever is the leader and who is the soldier is a big problem. If you can become a leader and commander, you will naturally get more bonus points after winning.
The debate continued late into the night, and there were many fists to solve the problem. In the end, nearly 360 local martial arts practitioners finally barely formed the team. Of course, at the same time, they also made an important decision, that is, when the confrontation tomorrow, the six groups will work together to kill the two military groups first, and then decide on each other's victory or defeat.
Because when the examination rules were announced today, it was not said that one had to fight against each other.
So tomorrow's confrontation will be a chaotic war.
All night was safe and sound.
When the drums of war sounded again in the military camp, the martial artists gathered at the schoolyard suddenly discovered that in the last exam today, the platform was filled with high officials, and even the ruling prime minister arrived. A heroic female general sitting beside the prime minister, no need to ask, must be Li Xiang's wife, General Liu Ruyan, the Qianniu Guard.
There are eight groups in total, and each group uses a different turban to distinguish their subordinates.
When the chief examiner You Yong announced that the confrontation had officially begun in a quarter of an hour, six local martial arts groups immediately gathered together. When the experienced military martial arts soldiers immediately understood the other party's intentions when they saw the other party's formation, they did not need to greet them and immediately gathered together.
"Luo Hongxin, you are the deputy commander of Rong, and our troops will obey your command." The captain of one of the teams shouted loudly to the other team.
Chapter completed!
