"Shh! Shhh! Shh!" An urgent whistle sounded in his ears. Liu Chong woke up from his sleep. Just as he was about to grab his clothes and put them on, he suddenly stopped and shook his head in frustration. He put down the coat he had already picked up.
It turned out that everything was a dream. He dreamed of an emergency gathering in the army and suddenly woke up from his dream.
"Small cabinet!" Liu Chong opened his mouth and called out. Because Man 'er had joined the clinic, she was stubborn and did not want to be different from the others. She insisted on staying with the newly recruited female doctors. Liu Chong had no choice but to add another team of guards to the clinic to protect her safety. The night was long, so he had to sleep alone.
"Yes, sir! Your Highness, what orders do you have?" Little Cabinet hurriedly ran in from the outside. In order to deal with Liu Chong's summons at any time, he almost slept with his clothes on. He put on his coat and rushed in.
"Go, tell Zhen Da to gather all the guards!”Liu Chong ordered. Ever since Zhen Da had joined the personal guards, his performance had been outstanding in both training and other aspects. After the original captain of the personal guards was sent out to carry out a mission, he temporarily appointed Zhen Da as the new captain.
"Yes, sir!" Little Cabinet did not know what Liu Chong was up to. Anyway, he would not question the king's orders at all, nor did he have the right to question them.
He didn't know if it was because the guards were unlucky or for some other reason, but Liu Chong decided to gather the guards tonight to see how they performed under the sudden attack.
Not long after, they heard neat footsteps outside the house. Liu Chong came out of the house, dressed in military uniform.
"Let's go! To the drill ground! Beat the drums and gather the troops!" Liu Chong ordered his guards. The guard in charge of beating the drum immediately obeyed the order and left. The rest of the guards surrounded Liu Chong as they hurried in the direction of the drill ground.
"Dong dong! Thump! Thump! Dong dong!" The deafening sound of war drums rang out in the endless night. The drumbeats rumbled, filled with an impassioned atmosphere.
"Old Liu, what's that noise outside? Is it thunder?" Some people in the barracks heard the drums and thought it was thunder. Usually, it was difficult to hear the sounds of birds and animals on such a quiet night. The guards had a very intense training during the day and night. When the sleeping horn sounded, they would sleep like dead pigs and it was difficult to wake them up.
"Dong dong! Thump! Thump! Dong dong!" The second drum sounded, and a murderous aura soared into the sky along with the drum.
"Ah! It wasn't thunder! Everyone, get up! It's the assembly drum! There's an enemy!”A burly man was the first to wake up from his sleep. The military rules stipulated that after three rounds of drumming, if anyone delayed, they would be severely punished with twenty military sticks. The next time they committed the same mistake, they would be beheaded.
When he shouted, the other guards in the barracks also realized what had happened. The entire barracks was in chaos like a beehive that had been blown up.
"My pants!"
"My shoes!"
"My saber!"
"My crossbow!"
。。。。。。。。。。.
Shouts rang out in the barracks. In a moment of desperation, many people ran out without dressing up properly. They were carrying all kinds of items in their hands. There were clothes, weapons, shoes, and everything was in a mess. They did not have the sense of certainty they had during training at all.
Looking at the guards swarming out of the barracks area, except for a small number, most of them seemed to be messy and disorganized. Although some officers tried their best to restrain the troops, they had little effect. The soldiers were charging at them.
When they arrived at the drill ground, they realized that there was no enemy attack at all. Only Liu Chong and a team of guards were quietly waiting for them on the drill ground. Only then did the guards stabilize and begin to gather in units.
"Dong dong! Dong dong dong!" After the three drumbeats, most of the guards had found their own teams and had already stood in line. However, there were still a few fish that had slipped through the net. The drumbeats had stopped, and before they could arrive, they were caught red-handed by the law enforcement guards. There were a total of more than ten people.
Liu Chong stood in front of the guards with an ashen face. It was not that he did not think that the first emergency assembly would not be very effective, but he did not expect it to be so bad.
Like the calm before the storm, the team of more than 1,000 people could not hear anything other than the sound of breathing. Liu Chong patrolled in front of the team of guards, his gaze sweeping across one person after another. Those who were seen by him all lowered their heads in shame.
In a moment of desperation, less than half of the people were fully dressed, and more than half of them were either missing one thing or another. Many people ran out without weapons or equipment.
After patrolling the entire team, Liu Chong came to the front of the team again.
"Can anyone tell me who you are?”Liu Chong opened with a question.
Silence, silence. No one answered him. What answered him was the breathing of more than a thousand people. It was already the middle of October, and the north wind had begun to show its might. The early morning night was also much colder, but what made the guards even colder was Liu Chong's cold voice.
"If this was a battlefield, then half of the people would not even be able to wake up and die in their dreams. If this was a battlefield, half of the people would have to fight the enemy unarmed. If this was a battlefield, most of the people here would have turned into a pile of yellow soil. If this was a battlefield, we would have been utterly defeated!”After saying so much in one breath, Liu Chong took a deep breath and shouted,"Because of your laziness, your carelessness, and your cowardice, you will kill everyone here!”
The guards were deeply shaken by these words. Before, they only wanted to train well and follow the king's requirements. They had never thought about the purpose of such arduous training. They only stopped at the level of training for training. Now they finally understood that such arduous training was so that they could better complete their mission on the battlefield one day and save everyone's lives.
"You don't have any weapons, and you're not neatly dressed.”
Most of them took three big steps forward, but those armed and well-dressed guards did not hesitate. They took three steps together. As comrades who had trained together, they had to advance and retreat together. Whether it was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, heaven or hell, they had to face it together.
"One thousand push-ups! Do it yourself! Go back to sleep after you're done!" Liu Chong continued to order.
"As for you guys, after you're done, you'll receive another twenty strokes of the rod!”Liu Chong was not polite to the dozen or so people who were late.
