On the high platform, the old soldier and Zhao Mu faced each other. Although the two of them did not attack, their auras had already burst out, appearing very terrifying.
Whether it was Wang He, the old soldier, or the new soldier, they were all watching the battle attentively.
The old soldier was still the first to attack. He took the lead in running, and the entire platform shook. It was enough to show how powerful this old soldier was.
When he arrived in front of Zhao Mu, his right fist had already swung out sharply, directly striking Zhao Mu.
This punch was no different from the old soldier's punch, except that it was faster and therefore more powerful.
Not to mention the new recruits, even those old soldiers could not block the punch of the old soldier in front of them.
Wang He looked at all of this and smiled. He had deliberately let this old soldier attack so that he could test Zhao Mu's limit.
But in his heart, Zhao Mu could never defeat this old soldier.
Not only him, but the other old soldiers also thought so.
After all, the old soldier was the most powerful among them and had survived the battlefield.
The evil wind blew against his face, but Zhao Mu was not flustered. He still raised his hand and punched out, intending to face the old soldier's fist directly.
This scene shocked Wang He and the other old soldiers, and they were worried.
Because the old soldier's fist was very hard and had once broken a stone with one punch, they were worried that Zhao Mu would be injured.
However, the next moment, the result shocked them.
Zhao Mu's fist collided with the old soldier's fist. Zhao Mu didn't move at all, but the old soldier's face instantly turned red. Then, he jumped back and kept waving his right hand. Obviously, he had suffered a great loss in the fist exchange with Zhao Mu.
This old soldier had lost.
"Haha!"
Wang He was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. He knew that he had picked up a treasure.
As for the new recruits below the stage, their eyes were wide open as they stared at Zhao Mu in disbelief, even though Zhao Mu was usually very outstanding.
However, there were still many people who wanted to be stronger than him, but now, these people had given up.
The gap between Zhao Mu and them was even greater than the cliff of Shu Road.
However, many new recruits were also very happy. Because Zhao Mu was so strong, the chances of survival for those who went to the battlefield with Zhao Mu would be greatly improved.
"Good!"
"Zhao Mu defeated two old soldiers. He is the new commander.”
Wang He suppressed his smile and gave the order.
"We'll rest for the next three days. We'll set off for Mount Hua in three days.”
After saying that, Wang He left the drill ground.
The new recruits looked at Zhao Mu with admiration. As a new recruit, Zhao Mu had defeated two old soldiers. His prestige among the new recruits could be said to be number one.
The one that Zhao Mu was leading was the one that he was in earlier. The five of them were Happy, Sorrow, and the other five who came from the same village as him. The other five were from other places.
As soldiers who would follow Zhao Mu in the future, they were all honored that Zhao Mu had defeated the old soldier.
Zhao Mu also did his best to teach them martial arts and improve their strength, hoping that they could survive on the battlefield.
Under Great Qin's system of military merit, the lower ranks could be obtained by beheading people, but the upper ranks were different. After all, Generals and Commanders had to lead troops into battle, and very few of them would be on the frontlines and behead people.
Although Zhao Mu had intended to rely on his invincible saber to achieve his goal, according to the rules of Qin, once he became a general, if the number of deaths of his soldiers was more than the number of heads they had chopped off, then even if he won the war, he would only be considered to have done something wrong.
Therefore, training soldiers was also of utmost importance.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
No matter how attractive the title of nobility was, the recruits were still very nervous when they were about to go to the battlefield.
"Commander Shen, aren't you nervous?”
Xi looked curiously at Zhao Mu, who had a calm expression.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. Just imagine that you're about to face a group of pigs," said Zhao Mu with a faint smile.”
"Pfft."
Zhao Mu's words made all the recruits laugh, and their mood relaxed a lot.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The war drums sounded. This was the signal to march.
Wang He was riding on a warhorse, holding a big axe in his hand, his face serious.
The huge black bird flag fluttered in the wind and rustled.
Like a black dragon, the army began to advance from Xianyang to Mount Hua.
Mount Hua was not the Mount Hua of the later generations, but one of Great Qin's most important granaries. It was located at the edge of Yinjin City, behind Hangu Pass.
This place was not only responsible for the daily supply of grain at Hangu Pass, but also responsible for the storage of grain for the army that went out from Hangu Pass.
This time, Wang He went to the front line because Meng Ao had already transferred the troops from Huashan Granary and Yinjin City. Wang He was going to Yinjin City to guard the provisions of Yinjin City and Huashan Mountain.
However, Zhao Mu felt quite disappointed. However, after thinking about it, he knew that unless it was an emergency, Great Qin would not rashly send new soldiers into the battlefield.
These new recruits could first experience the atmosphere of the battlefield in Yinjin City and Huashan Granary. Then, when they were really needed to enter the battlefield, they could quickly integrate into it.
The journey from Xianyang to Yinjin City took a total of five days.
After entering Yinjin City, the new recruits began to assign tasks to guard Yinjin City and Huashan Granary respectively.
Zhao Mu's first mission was to be in charge of the defense of Yinjin City.
He stood on the city wall every day, standing guard. Other than that, he did nothing else.
Many of the recruits were very depressed.
Wang He saw this and snorted coldly, but he didn't take it to heart. He knew very well that the situation at the front line wasn't very optimistic. Once the garrison troops that were transferred away suffered heavy losses, these new recruits would really have to go to the battlefield. At that time, it would be better if these people didn't cry for their parents.
Zhao Mu was also waiting for an opportunity. Guarding the rear was too boring for him and too difficult to accumulate military merits.
The heavens paid off. Four days later, Zhao Mu received Wang He's order to escort the rations to the front line with a hundred men.
