Cheng Qizhi rode on his horse and walked around the troops to supervise them, encouraging the soldiers from time to time. There were also a few personal guards who were ready to treat the fainted soldiers at any time.
At first, the Thousand Bull Guards were holding their breath. They were also physically strong. They were very fast when carrying the wooden frame, but they slowed down after running for a while. The things on the wooden frame were no joke. They weighed nearly a ton, which was nearly a thousand pounds on each person. The physical fitness of Xiantian warriors was not bad, and their arm strength could reach 800 pounds. However, such high-intensity training was also very tiring for them.
Although Cheng Qizhi couldn't bear it, Xue Shao had instructed him not to be kind. If he was kind to them here, he would be harming them. Cheng Qizhi was someone who had been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew the cruelty of the battlefield. He strictly followed Xue Shao's instructions, or even more strictly.
Cheng Qizhi shouted and urged them.
The last two teams would be punished tonight!
The Thousand Bull Guards gritted their teeth and persisted. Commander Xue was a man of his word. In their eyes, Xue Shao was a devil, so they did not know what punishment awaited them. Thus, these Thousand Bull Guards roared hysterically and used all their strength to charge forward.
At night, almost all of the 800 people were exhausted.
Xue Shao's order was like a mountain. The last two teams were punished to run twenty laps around the drill ground. Only after they finished could they eat. Those who could not finish would be eliminated.
There were nearly 30 people on the anti-wood shelf who could not take it anymore, or they could not stand the torture and quit.
It was extremely cruel to continue running after exhausting one's physical strength.
There was one team that couldn't hold on any longer and gave up.
"Wang Lin forfeits!" Xue Shao roared angrily," All of you will be punished and eliminated!”
"General, I refuse to accept this!" Someone jumped out and shouted," He can't do it alone, so why did he have to eliminate us? Besides, he's not even on our team. He originally belonged to Wu Chengsi's side! He's a burden to us. Just eliminate him!”
Xue Shao had split up Wu Chengsi's lazy soldiers and Cheng Qizhi's troops. Firstly, it was for Wu Chengsi's faction to mutiny and resist Xue Shao. It was to disperse their forces. Secondly, it was to merge the Thousand Bull Guards into one, regardless of their factions.
"Shut up. No matter who he used to belong to, once he forms a group with you, he's your person. You're a group!”Xue Shao said," If you don't treat him as your brother, when it's time to fight the enemy, his mistake alone could kill your entire team, or even more people! He will become the murderer of your brothers! On the battlefield, you are brothers back to back. He is the person you entrust your lives to!”
The man was speechless.
"Also, I have an agreement. Here, everything must be obeyed. Because this person questioned my orders, the group he belongs to will be punished!”Xue Shao shouted," This person's team will run another 20 laps before being eliminated!”
After all, he was once Cheng Qizhi's soldier, and he was very outstanding. Cheng Qizhi could not bear it and said," General Xue, it's enough to send him away. It's too serious to be eliminated!”
Xue Shao ignored him and waved his hand." Add another 20 laps and you'll be eliminated!”
Courtesy is propriety, law is law, it is intolerable! Xue Shao believed that if they really had the ability, even if they were eliminated, today's words would let them bloom everywhere!
In the next fifteen days, Xue Shao thought of all kinds of ways to train these people, such as night raids, survival in the forest, etc. He used all kinds of methods to train this group of people. These were all situations that they would encounter on the scene in the future.
In fifteen days, nearly two hundred people were eliminated, leaving behind six hundred people, all of whom were the elites of the elites.
But Xue Shao's greatest achievement was to let these Thousand Bull Guards understand what a soldier's true fighting spirit, responsibility, and honor were!
The Thousand Bull Guards had been reborn, from the tyrannical soldiers to disciplined soldiers.
On the 16th day, Xue Shao stood on the platform and stared at the energetic Thousand Bull Guards." From now on, you can proudly tell others that you are the Thousand Bull Guards. If anyone dares to refuse, beat them to death!”
Everyone was in high spirits. Their strength had been recognized.
"But they are only Thousand Bull Guards, not soldiers!”
"Why? Who can tell me?"
"Report!" A tanned man raised his hand. His name was Xiao Shan, and his results were outstanding.
Xue Shao nodded." Speak!"
"Because we have never been on a real battlefield.”Xiao Shan says loudly.
Xue Shao applauded." That's right. Without the tempering of the battlefield, you can never be called a soldier. A technique that doesn't kill is not worthy of being called a soldier!”
"Therefore, for the next fifteen days, General Xue Chuyu and General Cheng Qizhi will teach you the techniques of killing!”
"General Xue will teach you how to ride! Cheng Qizhi will teach you the horse lance!"
Xue Chuyu was riding on a Ferghana Horse, clad in light armor, and looked extremely mighty.
Cheng Qizhi was holding a shocking horse lance. It was the scarlet lance that Xue Shao had given him, a heaven-grade weapon.
This was a super heavy army. Its entire body was scarlet red, as if it was made of blood crystals. Its entire body was filled with a murderous aura.
The Thousand Bull Guards were shocked.
The soldiers of the Tang Empire loved horse lances, which could be used for both offense and defense. Cheng Qizhi was the son of Cheng Wuting, so he should have inherited the skills.
The 'lance is not a process' was referring to Cheng Boxian and Cheng Wuting, so Xue Shao gave Cheng Boxian's Azure Dragon Lance to Cheng Qizhi so that it could be better reflected in his hands.
The Thousand Bull Guards had been learning from these two for half a month, and their horsemanship and killing techniques had also improved greatly.
Xue Shao himself had also trained hard with Xue Chuyu for a while. Because he had to take responsibility for himself, and more so because he wanted to welcome the upcoming war, he trained very hard and improved by leaps and bounds.
The Thousand Bull Guards had improved by leaps and bounds in the past half a month, and their days were not bad. Other than their daily training, there was also the daily football game. To be precise, it was the " Cuju " game. This was the happiest day of the Thousand Bull Guards, and it was also a way for Xue Shao to improve their relationship and chemistry.
Xue Shao had suddenly thought of this idea after accompanying Princess Taiping in the palace for half a month. There were polo, jiao di, tug-of-war, cuju, and so on. It was a brilliant entertainment activity in the palace.
Playing with the princess was of course a good way for Xue Shao and Princess Taiping to improve their relationship. The Taiping Princess in her prime had the innocence and cuteness of a young girl, but she also had the wilfulness and charm of a princess. She had yet to evolve into the all-powerful, sinister and ruthless princess of the Kingdom of Zhen in history.
Xue Shao was naturally moved. The two of them felt better and fell in love.
There were two forms of Cuju in the Tang Empire. The first was the competitive " passing the ball ", which was to erect two tall bamboo poles in the field, pull up a net in the air, and kick the ball in from a distance to score a point, just like the current " shooting." The two sides competed, and whoever scored the most goals would win.
" Cuju repeatedly flies over the birds, and the swing races out of the weeping poplars." This was referring to the book-crossing competition, which required the ball to be kicked very high.
The other way of playing was called "free play", which was mostly played by the women in the palace. To put it bluntly, it was a fancy tiptoe ball to see who could play well.
Xue Shao had brought football from his previous life here! Although the national football team was terrible, it did not affect Chinese men's love for football. It was also very popular here and became a new form of entertainment.
