"Xiao Xiao, pass!"
Along with the voice of the assessment soldier, the name Xiao Xiao spread throughout the 700-plus recruits. Even some of the officers in the nearby Lantian camp remembered this name.
Hundred-step target. Four out of five arrows hit the target.
Even a ten-year-old veteran might not be able to do such archery. Moreover, Xiao Xiao was only a fifteen-year-old youth.
.............
"Boss, this is amazing. How did you do it?”
"Boss, you didn't see the last few arrows and the shocked looks on the others 'faces!”
"Can you teach me when you have time in the future?”
....
On the way back, Pan Jiang and the others chatted excitedly.
This kind of enthusiasm made Xiao Xiao feel a little overwhelmed. He could only promise to teach them when he had time in the future.
"Boss, teach me first. I really want to be a cavalryman in the future.”
When the others were gone, Pan Jiang stealthily winked at Xiao Xiao.
"Good!"
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.
......
A few days later. It was a standard training.
Perhaps it was because his performance that day was too eye-catching, the soldiers in charge of training paid special attention to Xiao Xiao. Even the other young recruits, from that day onwards. He did not dare to underestimate Xiao Xiao anymore.
After a few days, everyone began to familiarize themselves with the environment here. He had already begun to integrate into military life.
Whether it was his thoughts or his actions, they were slowly changing. From a youth, he slowly became a Qin soldier.
Everyone was training hard and no one was slacking off. Everyone was waiting. One month later, they would be assigned to that military camp under that officer.
This was the rule of previous years.
The new recruits would be contacted for a month before being assigned to those who had just experienced war or had retired to replenish their combat strength.
However, no one expected this. Ten days later. The veteran announced a piece of news.
This time, there was a change. The front line was in a state of emergency. These people might be directly assigned to the battlefield!
When this news came out, the entire recruit team was in an uproar.
On the battlefield. That was a place where one could risk their lives!
"Why?"
"That's right. In the past, the troops that joined the army would train for a year before going to the battlefield.”
"Why do we have to go to the battlefield in less than a month?”
....
Many indignant voices immediately sounded from the youths.
Because in their eyes, this was asking them to die on the battlefield. They had only been here for less than a month.
As for the new recruits who had been recruited into the army, they would only go to the battlefield for at least a year.
Xiao Xiao noticed that Pan Jiang and the others were also at a loss. It was obvious that they were flustered when they heard that they were sent to the battlefield. Then, he saw the veteran say,"Why? Because you're recommending yourselves!"
After saying that, the veteran looked at the people who spoke with disdain."Don't you think it's a joke to recommend yourself?”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Most of them recommended themselves because they could not survive and came to the military camp to make a living. According to their thoughts, they should be able to stay in the military camp for a year.
However, he did not expect that it had only been a few days. This meant that they would be sent to the battlefield.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Even Xiao Xiao did not understand why they were assigned to the front line without even training for a year.
This didn't make any sense. Unless…
Xiao Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling. Perhaps the frontline was really in danger.
....
After returning, Xiao Xiao and his brothers hadn't had time to rest when they saw three old Qin soldiers walk in.
Xiao Xiao, come with us."
With that, he turned around and left.
Pan Jiang, Zhao Kun, and the others looked at each other in confusion. Then, they saw Xiao Xiao stand up and leave the tent with the veteran.
Following the veteran, Xiao Xiao entered the main gate of the Lantian Military Camp for the first time.
Unlike the outside world, the moment you entered the Lantian Military Camp, you could see that there was not a single blade of grass. The ground was covered in dust. Qin soldiers came and went in an endless stream.
He was brought to a large tent near the west gate.
He brought Xiao Xiao to the entrance of the tent. The three seasoned soldiers did not enter. Instead, he let Xiao Xiao enter the tent alone.
Once he entered, Xiao Xiao was stunned. There was only one person inside.
"We meet again!"
After entering, a middle-aged man in black military armor raised his head. That face was the middle-aged man who had asked a lot when he bought the wolf skin that day.
Xiao Xiao couldn't react in time and could only shout,""General!"
"I am the official doctor in charge of training the new recruits here. Speaking of which, we're also from the neighboring town."
General Zhou smiled. He signaled Xiao Xiao not to be so nervous.
Speaking of which, ever since he saw the wound on the wolf's skin for the first time and found out that Xiao Xiao was preparing to join the army, he had been waiting.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Xiao finally understood why General Zhou had asked who had shot him. It seemed like they were in charge of training new recruits. No wonder he could tell at a glance that he was good at archery.
"Do you know why I called you over?”
General Zhou looked at Xiao Xiao, hinting at him not to be so nervous.
Xiao Xiao shook his head. Then, he heard General Zhou hand over a bamboo slip with many names engraved on it.
"In the past few days, no less than a dozen centurions have come to ask for you by name. This is the list. Where do you want to go?”
General Zhou said. He had suppressed many people these few days. Otherwise, Xiao Xiao would not have been in the recruit camp and would have been taken by someone else.
