Fu Song

Chapter 112 The Iron Harrier

The large open space in front of the Shentang Castle was sorted out. Several bulls dragged the stone rollers and rolled them over. After layers of crushed stones were pressed down, another layer was immediately laid until The top layer is pressed to a shiny finish, and that's it.

From today onwards, it was the time when the Guangrui Army began to select iron kites. In a short time, it attracted many people to watch.

On the edge of the school field, more than a dozen human-shaped targets, large and small, were nailed. Needless to say, they were naturally for horseback riding and shooting.

And on a road that is more than a hundred steps long, there are dozens of wooden stakes planted high and low, with different thicknesses, which makes people confused for a while, and they don't know what they are looking for.

Twenty top-quality war horses were actually wearing armor. This made the soldiers from the Hengshan tribes feel hot in their eyes, and even the war horses were wearing armor.

The first to participate in the assessment today were fifty knights from the Yeli family.At this moment, the first ten knights who were preparing to fight had already put on their armor. From the eyes of everyone, they were armed to the teeth, with a pair of eyes exposed, and the rest of them were tightly covered.

The heavy armor of the whole body armor is probably no less than thirty catties.

As soon as the drum sounded, the ten knights got on their horses neatly, checked their equipment, and then raised their eyes to look in the direction of the reviewing platform.

The second drum sounded, the first knight yelled, clamped his legs, and the horse galloped forward, followed by the second and third riders.

On the galloping horse, the knight drew the bow and fired the arrow. Amidst the sound of the rings, the feathered arrows shot out one after another. Amidst the crowd's exclamation or sighs, some hit the vital point, and some missed.

Each knight has the chance to shoot three arrows.

Specialized people will count the number of hits and the parts they hit.

After running around the school field, the three feathered arrows had been shot. Immediately, the knight suddenly drew his sword, accelerated, and ran towards the direction of the high and low wooden stakes.

Hey!With a roar and the sound of a knife shining, a wooden stake split in two.

The horse galloped forward, and the knight on the horse looked up or down, cutting off as many wooden stakes as he could.

Some were broken, some were not broken, and some soldiers were careless. The knife was embedded in the stake and was not taken out in time, so they could only discard it with hatred.

After another lap, ten knights returned to the starting point, and immediately ten men who looked like doctors ran over, grabbed their hands, counted something silently, and then wrote down a number in the small book. superior.

The assessment of these ten knights is considered complete.

Some were overjoyed, while others were annoyed.

Ten war horses were taken down to rest, and another ten war horses and ten knights came up.

On the school grounds, those human targets and the chopped wooden stakes were also quickly replaced.

The same assessment, repeated over and over again.

When all the fifty knights of the Yeli tribe had completed their assessment, everyone was shocked when the result of the assessment was announced. In their opinion, every knight on the field was considered a top-notch hero. It was obvious to all, but in the end, out of the fifty warriors selected by the Yeli tribe, only seventeen were selected.

Ye Liqi's face darkened on the spot.

This time he brought out the best fighters in the clan. Ever since Wei Mingshi was completely killed, Ye Liqi made up his mind to follow the Guangrui army. For a small tribe like them, whoever has thick arms Who to hang out with is an unwritten rule.Xiao Cheng wanted to form Iron Harrier, and the conditions he gave were extremely generous.If a family produces an iron kite, all taxes will be exempted.And the treatment for the knight himself is even more generous.Regardless of salary, an iron kite can also bring an auxiliary soldier and a handyman, and all the expenses of these two people are all paid by the government.

Ye Liqi made a good plan, if all the fifty riders choose the iron kite, everyone will bring an auxiliary soldier and a handyman, and the young and strong of the whole Ye Li Department will have no worries about food and drink.Their salaries are more than enough to support the family.

But it never occurred to him that among the fifty best fighters in his opinion, only seventeen were selected.This is a mess, even if each of the seventeen people can bring two, but there are only fifty-one people, the key is the other thirty-four people, but there is no such preferential treatment as tax exemption.

Ye Liqi didn't have to be depressed for too long, and then he had fellow sufferers to accompany him.Xifeng Ada was even worse. Out of [-] knights sent out, only [-] were selected, two less than Ye Liqi.

A whole day of selection was carried out that day, and nearly twenty tribes sent their children to participate in the selection, but they barely managed to make up five hundred.

As for the iron kite that Xiao Cheng wanted to recruit, he clearly stated that there were [-] people.According to this degree of elimination, even if all the tribes of the Hengshan tribes participated in the election, it would be difficult to gather [-] people.

"Erlang, isn't this request too high?" In the evening, Xin Jian looked at Xiao Cheng, a little embarrassed. "Actually, some people are very good."

"Erlang, according to your request, at most half of the Guangrui Army's [-] horsemen can meet the standard!" He Zheng also looked distressed.

"This request is not high!" Xiao Cheng did not give in at all: "It is because your requirements for yourself are too low. Iron kites will be used to attack cities and villages in the future. Where the bones are hard, they will gnaw on them. How can you lead the army if you don't have the ability to surpass others? How can you put on the strong and sharp for the army?"

"But according to this requirement, [-] people may not be selected." Xin Jian still shook his head.

"It's better not to abuse the lack!" Xiao Cheng said: "Besides, the fighters brought out by these tribes today are still a little watery. They don't bring out many good things that are really at the bottom of the box. They always want to save money for themselves. It’s overwhelming. Otherwise, according to my estimate, a thousand people should be selected.”

Regarding this point, everyone has no doubts, and no one will throw out all the good goods in their hands. This is the same as doing business.

"In the future, it will be better. Those tribes after that know the elimination rate, and the people they send should be stronger. For tribes like Renduo and Tuoba, the quality rate of fighters may also be higher. Higher." Xiao Cheng said.

"At that time, I'm afraid it will be amazing to gather [-] people!" He Zheng said in a low voice.

Xiao Cheng didn't say a word, turned around to look at the youngest Zhu and said, "The five hundred people selected today, accommodation, clothes and bedding, have all these been arranged?"

"It's done!" The youngest Zhu jumped up and stood up: "They lived in the newly built brick house, the ground was burning warmly, the clothes were brand new from the inside to the outside, and the bedding was brand new. .”

"Is the salary for the first month in place?" Xiao Teng looked at Luo Gang again.

Luo Gang said: "After these people moved in at night, we immediately went to distribute their first month's military salary, two guanxi per person, plus a reward of [-] wen, so that the full amount will be in place."

Xiao Cheng said with satisfaction: "Very good, let's see, the quality will get better and better. Yuting, you have to set off again tomorrow, and go to Yan'an Mansion to ask Ma's comforter for money, food, armor, etc. The situation here should be well played out for him. The point is that as long as he agrees to our request, next year, the Hengshan tribes will make it round if he wants to, and flatten it if he wants to. Anyway, it will become his attack plan. The vanguard of the difficult army."

"Okay, the rip-off thing, I like it."

"By the way, when you pass by Dingbian Town, you might as well go and see Miao Shou and Miao Tongzhi. It's not impossible for him to retire, but before he leaves, he has to express himself, don't you? Or else When the time comes, big brother disagrees with his resignation?"

"Okay, by the way, knock as much as you can!" Luo Gang said with a smile: "I think his personal wealth is very rich. If he doesn't know the fun this time, don't blame me for being rude."

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting." Xiao Cheng said: "Tomorrow, everyone has to know what's going on, and the transaction in the market has to be done. This is our cornucopia. Those who earn money every day. The people in each settlement point Construction needs to be accelerated, but the day when the main force arrives is getting closer.”

Everyone responded with a bang, and dispersed one after another.

Just as Xiao Cheng expected, from the second day onwards, the quality of the manpower sent by the various tribes has indeed increased to a higher level, and the elimination rate has dropped from [-]% to [-]%.

The next day, more than a thousand people were elected.

The tribes that came out on the first day couldn't sit still at this time, and they all came to Xiao Cheng and asked for another chance, but Xiao Cheng didn't think too much of himself, as long as you were willing to come for the assessment, there would be no problem.

This time, there were a hundred more people.

The last ones to appear were Rentabe and Takubabe.

Why they are the largest and most unruly tribe among the Hengshan tribes is really reflected at once.

The two teams each sent [-] cavalry to participate in the iron kite, and the acceptance rate was as high as [-]%, and the two teams added up to [-] people.

After a few days of selection, Xiao Cheng selected [-] people from among the tribes in Hengshan. Although there was still a gap from his goal of [-] people, Xiao Cheng was already very satisfied.

After all, the elder brother's Ma Jun still has to add some people, and the rest of the vacancies will be selected slowly in the future.

From now on, the iron kite will become the most famous branch among the armies in the Northwest, so that all the enemies will be terrified when they hear about it, and everyone will take it as the honor of their life to join the iron kite.

Of course, this is also to slowly build up his reputation in the following days.

But this is the business of the boss.

I am responsible for setting up the stage for him, how to sing the opera, how to sing the opera well, it is his job as the main creator.

While Xiao Cheng was busy picking iron kites for Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding, the boss he was worried about, had already arrived at Yan'an Mansion on a flying horse.Xiao Ding, who was supposed to arrive at the end, was both excited and worried after hearing about Xiao Cheng's actions in Shentangbao. The army came rushing all the way through wind and snow.
