Chapter 14-Three Months of Experimentation
Of course, these gazes had no effect on Cheng Yaojin. After all, he was the commander of the Divine Martial Army. If even this gaze could affect him, then his position as the commander of the Divine Martial Army would be in vain.
As for Cheng Chuwen, he didn't feel anything.
In the past ten years, the people of Chang 'an had been even more vicious than this.
After explaining the requirements of the 400-meter obstacle to Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chuwen reminded him again,""Remember, if you can't finish both sets of 30 seconds, you'll fail.”
Cheng Yaojin naturally didn't know how long two portions of 30 seconds were, but Cheng Chuwen had already explained it to him with terms such as a cup of tea, an incense stick, and a snap of a finger.
But even so, Cheng Chuwen was still worried that he wouldn't understand, so he pointed to the special hourglass next to him and said,""This hourglass only has two 30 seconds. You have to finish it before the hourglass ends.”
Cheng Yaojin nodded slightly and pushed Cheng Chuwen away impatiently. Then, he walked to the starting point of the 400-meter obstacle without hesitation and made a run-up posture.
Seeing this, Cheng Chuwen didn't say much. He raised the flag and waved it fiercely. At the same time, he shouted,"Begin!"
When Cheng Chuwen waved the flag, Cheng Yaojin rushed forward. His speed was comparable to those world sprint champions that Cheng Chuwen had seen on TV.
Cheng Yaojin only used about eleven seconds for the first 100-meter sprint.
However, when he reached 200 meters, Cheng Yaojin's speed obviously slowed down, especially when he was drilling through the barbed wire. He almost burst the wooden stick that was used to replace the iron wire.
Following that, Cheng Yaojin's speed became even slower.
By the time Cheng Yaojin reached the finish line, the hourglass had run out a few seconds earlier.
Looking at the hourglass that had already emptied, Cheng Yaojin's face looked as if he had held his pee. He never expected that he would fail this training subject for the first time.
Li Shi Min was also shocked.
Cheng Yaojin was a general under him, but he was actually failed by a training subject set by a kid who was considered a layman.
How many people in the Great Tang army were qualified?
Li Shiming couldn't imagine how Cheng Chuwen would laugh if his generals failed this subject.
At this moment, Cheng Chuwen walked over and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, General Cheng has finished his experiment. May I know which general is next?”
"This…"
For a moment, Li Shi Min didn't know who should go first.
Fortunately, Qin Shubao was more understanding and took the initiative to stand up and say,""Let me do it. I want to try a subject that even Old Cheng failed.”
Seeing Qin Shubao take the initiative, Li Shimin quickly said,""Alright, then let Uncle Bao go. Let's see if this training subject is really that difficult.”
Cheng Chuwen quickly looked at Cheng Yaojin and saw that he was still heartbroken and didn't hear this sentence. Otherwise, he would be heartbroken again.
Qin Shubao smiled and walked towards the 400-meter obstacle course.
This time, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Shubao. However, this time, they were not as relaxed as when they looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Soon, Qin Shubao also completed the 400-meter obstacle.
Although his results were slightly better than Cheng Yaojin's, he still failed in the end.
The only good thing was that with Cheng Yaojin as the scapegoat, Qin Shubao was much more relaxed and did not have so much pressure.
Instead, it further proved that the difficulty of the training program designed by Cheng Chuwen was not as simple as imagined.
This made Li Shimin suspicious. He looked at Cheng Chuwen and said,"This training subject is so difficult. Is it really suitable for soldier training?”
Only Li Shi Min and the other generals couldn't help but suspect.
In the army, it did not mean that the more subjects one trained, the more effective it would be for the combat effectiveness of the army.
The key was to see if it could increase his combat strength.
If a training program couldn't improve the combat effectiveness of the army, then the training program was useless.
However, Cheng Chuwen had never doubted this.
" Don't worry, Your Majesty," he replied immediately." This training may seem difficult, but it's just that it's difficult to pass. If you lower the time limit, it'll be easy to complete."”
"If we lower the time standard, will the training still be effective?" Li Shiming frowned slightly.”
"Of course, the effect is not as good as this time standard.”
"But this training program is not only to train the soldiers 'physical fitness, but also to train the soldiers' ability to adapt to complex terrain," said Cheng Chuwen.
In the early stages, we can lower the time standard. After the soldiers have adapted to this training subject, we can raise the time standard. This way, I believe that many soldiers will be able to pass.”
Seeing Cheng Chuwen's solemn look, Li Shimin seriously considered it.
After a while, Li Shi Min said,""Then let's test it out with the Divine Martial Army for three months. If the combat strength of the Divine Martial Army improves in three months, we'll promote it to the entire army.”
"Yes."
Cheng Chuwen cupped his hands and replied.
Li Shiming had achieved his goal for coming to the Divine Martial Army today, so he didn't stay any longer. He stood up and left the stands, walking out of the camp.
