Chapter 148 Horse Meeting
When the hundreds of people heard the word "elite", they thought, are they going to be treated specially?
I thought it was just a simple doubling of the military pay, but I unexpectedly got the title of elite.
There is still a sense of superiority in my heart.
Only Jiang Yue knew that the previous days were just small-scale training and the real special training had just begun.
Further physical abuse is about to take place.
Deputy General Zhang Yan stood in front of Jiang Yue and others.
He first took a special look at Jiang Yue, and when he saw her features clearly, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but cast his gaze on Wang Quan behind him.
"Don't you think she looks familiar?"
"He looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where." Wang Quanzheng has too many soldiers, including some who are the same age as Jiang Yue.
He now understood why the general refused to release him.
Because of the war, time was running out. Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhang Yan stopped talking and just looked at Jiang Yue and said:
"Organize the roster and give it to me before the afternoon training."
Jiang Yue clasped his fists and replied:
"Yes!"
Although this job seemed simple, it was impossible for most illiterate soldiers.
To organize the list, one needs pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which were provided by Deputy General Zhang, who also sent someone to bring a desk.
Hundreds of people lined up in a long queue. After all the names were registered, Jiang Yue collected the list.
After lunch and before training, the team of new recruits including Jiang Yue appeared on the training ground again.
As for the status of sergeant among the crowd, there are centurions who train soldiers and they hold this title temporarily.
In the training ground, Jiang Yue immediately handed the list to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took the list and took a quick look.
Jiang Yue's handwriting was neat, and he was very satisfied. He immediately gave the order.
"Form up, put on your armor, and bring your weapons!"
Soldiers: “????”
Shouldn't it be, training immediately?
I was not wrong.
Lieutenant General Zhang wants to take them for armor-piercing training.
The armor for the new recruits is only distributed on the first day.
The first feeling of the recruits after putting on the armor is,
weight!
As soon as Jiang Yue put on the armor, she found that the weight of 20 kilograms was still too light.
The second feeling is that I am not used to the clothing.
Jiang Yue and a hundred others, led by Zhang Yan,
Arriving at the open space outside the camp, the clanging sounds of the other soldiers could be heard incessantly, but Jiang Yue's unique team was quite eye-catching.
The first day's training still started with the most basic physical strength and endurance training.
There is absolutely no comparison between Deputy General Zhang and Li Niu.
He followed in front the whole time, running in the lead, and running very fast.
The soldiers shed blood and sweat but no tears.
Thanks to Jiang Yue's previous training, Wu Fei was able to adapt even though his body was not used to it.
Xue Wen's physical fitness is considered to be excellent among the hundred people, and he and Jiang Yue have always been running in the front.
If any soldier was slow, he would be beaten with a stick.
That night, there were thirty people, each of whom was rewarded with five military sticks.
That night, Jiang Yue simply washed up and realized that she hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
The environment is like this, and she is not special.
Listening to Wu Fei's snoring beside her, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the bed.
The military camp had thin cotton and we were always woken up by the cold in the early morning.
The next day, at dawn, they gathered at the parade ground early at the request of Deputy General Zhang.
Finally, following the back of Lieutenant General Zhang, we went somewhere...a stable?
Jiang Yue was pleasantly surprised for a moment. She had been in the military camp for several days and had wanted to find her own horse for a long time. However, soldiers were not allowed to move around freely and she had never had the time.
When the other soldiers saw that they were promoted from infantry to cavalry, they were undoubtedly excited.
"Choose one and hurry up!"
Lieutenant General Zhang had given the order and his men were already waiting outside, leading their war horses.
There were so many horses in the stable that it was impossible for Jiang Yue to spot her own horse among them at a glance.
At the moment, she just wanted to pick one and then look for it slowly later.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw a horse tied up alone in a dark corner.
Looking again, it really was his horse.
There is another horse in the corner, Ye Chen's horse.
Jiang Yue ran towards the horse without saying a word.
When the horse saw her, it recognized its little master at a glance and was delighted. It neighed and jumped for joy.
When Jiang Yue loosened the reins for it, the horse rubbed its head against her.
Finally, he followed her and ran out of the stable excitedly.
Because Jiang Yue's simple process of looking for a horse took some time, as soon as she went out, she was missing.
Deputy General Zhang stared at Jiang Yue and asked, "Are you sure you want to choose this horse?"
"Sure." Jiang Yue said affirmatively.
"Once you make your choice, don't regret it." Deputy General Zhang reminded him.
He waved his whip and led the way.
Jiang Yue, Xue Wen and others mounted their horses and followed behind.
Although Wu Fei had never ridden a horse, he had ridden a mule, so his speed in mounting the horse was reasonable.
Many people are riding horses for the first time, and the movements of climbing onto the horse are hard to describe.
So they led their horses out of the camp, and when they got out, they were looked at with disgust by Lieutenant General Zhang.
During the horse riding training outside the camp, Jiang Yue finally understood what Lieutenant General Zhang meant by "sure".
The reason was that her horse, like the recruits, had never undergone rigorous training and had never been on the battlefield.
When actually running, it is not as fast, has less endurance, and its character is not as bold and alert as a warhorse. It does not have the fearlessness and courage to face challenges like a warhorse, nor is it as calm and stable as a warhorse.
Lieutenant General Zhang just gave the order, "Everyone, follow!"
The horse under Jiang Yue quickly moved forward.
The other horses followed their masters' instructions and trotted along.
War horses have another advantage: unity.
Jiang Yue's horse was extremely unsociable. When it saw the other horses following, it fell behind again.
"Horse, run!" Jiang Yue stroked the horse's mane. Seeing that the people around her were moving away from her one by one, she shouted urgently.
"Tianyi, run!" Tianyi was the name she had just given to the horse.
The horses galloped and chased wildly.
Although it was not used to life in the army, with Jiang Yue as its little master, it seemed to have found its backbone and quickly caught up with the team.
Although the warhorse is strong, because of Jiang Yue's riding skills, all of Tianyi's shortcomings are offset by Jiang Yue's advantages.
Soon, Jiang Yue rushed to the front, second only to Zhang Yan.
This surprised Zhang Yan.
After a day of horse riding training, my buttocks didn’t feel like my own and my whole body was aching.
Jiang Yue found that riding a horse was much more tiring than when she participated in the Autumn Examination.
She was so leisurely and comfortable back then, walking at a neither fast nor slow pace, which made her miss her very much.
After several days of horse riding training, Jiang Yue was ranked first and was praised by Zhang Yan in public.
Just archery,
Jiang Yue had learned archery in the martial arts school a long time ago. When Lieutenant General Zhang saw that she hit every target, he asked her to follow him and teach the new recruits archery together.
Of course, some people who did not approve of Jiang Yue did not dare to say much under the stern gaze of Deputy General Zhang, and only talked about it behind her back.
After a few days of archery training, their real test is about to begin.
Today, they are fully equipped as usual.
As usual, he rode out of the camp.
The difference is that Deputy General Zhang had already ordered them last night to bring their familiar weapons and set off.
Jiang Yue carried a bow and arrow, while Wu Fei and Xue Wen carried swords.
I thought it was to improve the training, but unexpectedly, Deputy General Zhang ordered,
"The grain transport officer will arrive in ten days. From now on, everyone will follow him to the post station a hundred miles away to meet them!"
Food is of utmost importance. If it is unfortunately robbed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious.
This was also a test Zhang Yan gave them.
The series of defeats in recent months have made this test more difficult.
The enemy forces in Northern Yan were not as strong as those in the East. They were short of food and had a scarcity of food. It was unexpected that they did not rob food.
After hearing this, the soldiers were like… Are we going to carry out the mission so soon?
Hearing Zhang Yan say, "Let's go!"
Jiang Yue and others followed closely behind.
The sound of horses' hooves crunching on the snow indicated that the group had already moved away from the camp.
The place Jiang Yue and others were going to this time was at the border of Linzhou and Rongzhou.
There were also constant bandits on the road, and with the country in chaos, they loved to rob passing merchants, so there was no guarantee that the grain transport officials would not be threatened.
Zhang Yan's mission of going out this time was not only to deliver food and fodder, but the general also assigned him an important task.
The horses galloped, and under Jiang Yue's guidance, Tianyi gradually gained confidence.
On the way, they crossed snow-capped mountains and stopped to rest in a snowy forest at noon.
