Chapter 31: Outcomes and Gaps
A moment later, 205 surprise soldiers and more than 2,000 soldiers from Wei's camp were summoned by Wei Zhu to the schoolyard and lined up in an orderly manner face to face.
Because it was not yet time for training at noon, most of the soldiers were very confused by Wei Zhu's sudden gathering of everyone, and they talked quietly. It was not until Wei Zhu took Li He to the field and walked to the field that the school ground gradually became quiet.
With his back to the surprise troops and facing the more than 2,000 soldiers in the battalion, Wei Zhu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "In the past month, more and more soldiers have gradually complained openly, complaining about the treatment received by the surprise troops. Today, I will discuss with General Li Bai and decide to give you a chance to challenge the surprise troops!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Li He.
Li He nodded and understood, stepped forward and said to the more than 2,000 soldiers in a deep voice: "As General Wei Ying said, today, as long as someone can defeat any of the 205 surprise soldiers behind me, he can replace him and join my surprise soldiers and enjoy the high treatment you know..."
Before he could finish his words, more than 2,000 soldiers in front of him were suddenly excited, and the surprise soldiers lined up behind him also whispered in surprise.
"Take it serious, General Li Bai?"
A soldier from the front row of Wei asked impatiently.
"Of course!" Li He nodded heavily.
Seeing this, the more than 2,000 people suddenly burst into loud voices and shouted: "I! I! I want to challenge!"
It can be seen that what they resisted was the surprises, not the surprises.
"Come one by one."
Li He pressed his hands to signal the soldiers to calm down, and then asked the soldier who spoke first and said, "Do you want to challenge the surprise soldiers?"
"Yes!" The soldier looked excited.
"Very good, leave the list!...What's your name?"
The soldier followed the words and walked to Li He and Wei Zhu, clasped his fists and said, "My name is Liang Bei!"
"Liang Bei...a good name."
Li He nodded and walked to the soldier. While turning to face the surprise soldiers, he reached out to Liang Bei's back and walked a few steps towards the surprise soldiers. Then he said in a deep voice to the surprise soldiers: "Wei Camp General and what I said just now, you have heard it! I am very satisfied with your attitude of waiting for daily training for nearly a month; but I am very dissatisfied with some of you gradually becoming arrogant! After repeated consideration by the Wei Camp General and me, the two of us decided to give the other soldiers of the Wei Camp a chance. This is also an assessment of you. If anyone among you loses, leave the surprise soldiers for me!... The surprise soldiers are the elite of my Wei Camp. Only the most outstanding elites are qualified to stay in the surprise soldiers!"
Hearing this, all the surprise soldiers' expressions became extremely serious, and the momentum emitted from their bodies was completely different from a month ago.
Li He nodded secretly and shouted in a deep voice: "Tell me, do you have the confidence to pass this assessment?!"
"have!"
Two hundred and five surprise soldiers responded in unison.
Li He nodded secretly again. After turning his head and exchanging a look with Wei Zhu, he patted Liang Bei's back and said, "Okay, you can choose any one of you as your opponent."
"Everyone here?" Liang Bei tentatively said.
"Of course." Li He nodded and smiled faintly: "There are a few people in the team, why do I have raised them? As long as you can defeat them, you can not only join my surprise team, but also replace their position."
The soldier nodded quickly, stepped closer to the surprise troops in front of him, and happened to walk to Shi Chang Wu Heng.
Maybe it seemed familiar, Liang Bei stared at Wu Heng for a few more glances.
Seeing this, Wu Heng snorted lightly and said expressionlessly: "I stared at me as soon as I came up. Have you figured it out? Boy!"
At this time, Liang Bei also recognized Wu Heng as one of the hundreds of generals promoted by Wei Zhu. He had a hint of fear in his eyes. He left without saying a word in advance and walked away.
After dozens of breaths of selection, Liang Bei finally raised his hand and pointed at a surprise soldier who was shorter than him.
Li He remembered the names of all the surprise soldiers. Seeing this, he pointed to the surprise soldiers and said, "Qiu Xing, get out of the line!"
"yes!"
The aroused soldier shouted, walked quickly to the front of the team, looked at Liang Bei with a bad expression, and muttered with an unhappy look: "I've really been underestimated..."
As he said that, he stood in a lunge with his feet, set off his posture, and said coldly towards Liang Bei: "Come on, boy, let you attack first!"
Liang Bei turned to Li He, but saw Li He hugging his hands and nodding slightly: "You can do it anytime."
Hearing this, Liang Bei took a few deep breaths and adjusted his body. Then he shouted "ah", pounced towards Qiu Xing, and punched at Qiu Xing.
Facing the fist coming towards him, Qiu Xing did not blink for a moment, and seized the opportunity to grab Liang Bei's wrist with his backhand, and at the same time stretched his foot and tripped under Liang Bei's feet. Without seeing how hard he was, Liang Bei was unable to stand firmly, and he threw him out more than half a foot away.
Liang Bei stood up blankly, but saw Qiu Xing hooking his finger at him. It was not until Li He was beside him that he warned "provocations are prohibited", so Qiu Xing took back the provocative actions.
But even so, the soldier named Liang Bei was still angry and rushed towards Qiu Xing again, but Qiu Xing easily removed his force when he was swinging his fist. Qiu Xing even grabbed his arm and threw it hard over the shoulder, and threw it heavily to the ground with a bang.
It took more than ten breaths before Liang Bei gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. He saw him gasping for a few breaths, and suddenly said to Li He who was beside him: "General Li Bai, I want to use weapons!"
"Yes!" Li He nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhu's guard Zheng Ping rushed in from outside the field and handed a long stick to Liang Bei, instead of Chang Ge, and then a short stick to Qiu Xing, instead of sharp sword.
Qiu Xing held one end of the short stick and threw it back and forth like a sword. Then he looked at Liang Bei opposite him with a malicious look on his face.
He had also received training from Wei Zhu at the beginning, so he naturally knew that the soldiers of Wei camp were best at using long weapons, but this did not mean that the boy on the other side would have a greater chance of winning.
His surprise soldiers were asked to master various hand-to-hand combat and fighting skills such as bare hands, short soldiers, hand-to-hand swords, etc. In one-on-one situation, ordinary soldiers in the camp would definitely not be their opponents!
The subsequent facts also proved that Qiu Xing's confidence was not blind. Even if Liang Bei used his best long-term soldier, he could not shake the outcome of the contest at all. In just a dozen breaths, Liang Bei was hit all over, and even in the end, Qiu Xing tied his throat with a short stick from behind.
"Boy, don't admit defeat? Don't be ignorant! If I had the will to kill you, you would have died a few times."
Qiu Xing whispered in his ear by tying Liang Bei's throat with a short stick.
Liang Bei struggled desperately and even slammed Qiu Xing's abdomen with his elbow, but Qiu Xing held his breath and endured Liang Bei's heavy blow, and his hands holding the short stick remained motionless.
madness!
Every surprise soldier must be used to taking heavy blows. What is this elbow hit?
He snorted coldly in his heart, and Qiu Xing added some force to his hand.
Seeing that the soldiers named Liang Bei gradually turned red due to lack of oxygen, Li He immediately stepped forward to stop: "Enough! That's all!"
Qiu Xing let go as he said, and took a few steps back, while Liang Bei suddenly collapsed on the ground, covering his throat and gasping for breath and coughing continuously.
"Is there such a big gap after just one month of training?"
In the distance, Wei Zhu murmured to himself.
Qiu Xing and Liang Bei were both soldiers he screened and trained before. Logically speaking, the strength of the two was not so different. However, Qiu Xing was very ease from beginning to end. On the other hand, Liang Bei was always suppressed, even if both sides used weapons, it was still the case.
He turned to look at the more than 2,000 soldiers, and saw that the people who were originally eager to look were extremely quiet at this moment. It was obvious that Qiu Xing's performance just now also shocked them.
In the following time, soldiers kept coming forward to challenge the surprise soldiers, but they all quickly defeated them. Even if there were a few cunning soldiers who deliberately selected the surprise soldiers who fought in the previous game, there was no change in the outcome. The surprise soldiers who fought several times in a row still put them to the ground in a few strokes, allowing them to personally feel the gap between them.
Looking at the soldiers who were gradually becoming disheartened, Li He shook his head slightly.
To be honest, even a month later, the gap between many Wei camp soldiers and most of the surprise soldiers was still not big. The valuation of the two on Li He's side was around "30". The real difference lies in the training courses received by both sides.
The general soldiers in the Wei camp are trained in the direction of battlefield combat, focusing on forming formations to defend the enemy and cooperating with each other. However, the surprise soldiers specialize in individual combat training. Therefore, in one-on-one situation, the general soldiers of the Wei camp are never opponents of the surprise soldiers.
"Is anyone else trying to challenge?"
When another soldier was defeated in a very short time, all the soldiers in the Wei camp on the school were silent. Even if Li He asked, no one would talk to him.
After dozens of people were defeated in a row, these soldiers had seen the gap between them and the surprise soldiers with their own eyes and suffered a huge blow.
In order to boost morale and to keep the surprise soldiers nervous, Li He made a promise to the soldiers of Wei Camp: a similar contest will be held at the end of each month. As long as someone can defeat any surprise soldiers, he can still join the cavalry team and replace the position of the loser with this.
This promise suddenly aroused the soldiers of the Wei Camp's soldiers, and cheers rang out throughout the schoolyard. Seeing the surprise soldiers beside them numb, the pride and pride in their hearts were immediately replaced by tension.
"Excellent! Wonderful!"
A moment later, when Wei Zhu announced that everyone would be disbanded, Zhai Li walked up to Li He while stroking his palms, and did not hesitate to praise the surprise troops.
If he had been a little dissatisfied with the huge spending of the surprises before, then after witnessing the surprises' performance, he had already changed his mind.
After returning to Zhiyang that day, Zhai Li told Zhai Hu everything he saw in Weiying.
