LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 18: Shooting Sounds to Recruit
Aristocratic family sees the inferior, while good family sees the noble.
Although this sentence is an adjective, it also means that there are aristocratic family children in the Wuwei Camp of the Jing'an Army.
After Zhou Yuan changed into his red military uniform, he went to the quartermaster's office to report.
The quartermaster recorded his native place, age, and name, gave him a wooden soldier's card, and told him to come to get the official copper soldier's card in two days.
In terms of weapons, he got a yellow birch foot bow, thirty cone-head arrows, a refined steel knife, and a Qinggang wood iron spear.
This configuration, ordinary people can't afford only a yellow birch foot bow, let alone the subsequent fine iron armor.
"Young man, three months for training, a hundred days for armor, if you are still in this camp after three months, come and get the armor with the documents.
However, these days can't be delayed, you send a soldier to let him learn how to put armor on the soldiers and how to maintain the armor."
"Li Dazhuang, you stay."
After sending the equipment back to the dormitory and placing it in the weapon rack, Zhou Yuan went to the West Hall in the camp again.
When he arrived, many soldiers had already eaten. The tableware here was very rough. Most people's tableware was coarse pottery bowls, and a few people's tableware was more delicate.
Those who had a delicate meal sat in a group on one side of the hall. The soldiers passing by avoided them from a distance, forming a clear distinction.
Zhou Yuan guessed that those people were either officers or so-called noble families.
However, the two seemed to overlap. The noble families must be officers when they entered the barracks. They couldn't be soldiers like ordinary people.
"Give me a meal."
"New here? You can only take one bowl of meat, and take as much as you can eat for the rest, otherwise you will be fined."
The food in the West Hall was not very diverse, but the key was that there was meat.
Zhou Yuan still felt a little unreal until he sat down with the food and a bowl of brown medicine soup.
The Jing'an Army was really too rich, or their logistics system was too rich and unreasonable.
Although Zhou Yuan was a modern man, he also knew that it was difficult to provide enough meat for a local army relying on ancient productivity.
"Wow, it's still solid."
He flipped it with chopsticks. He thought the meat bowl would be like modern times with meat on top and vegetables on the bottom, but he didn't expect that it was fat on top and lean on the bottom, except for the soup, it was all meat.
In this comparison, the life of the villagers in Qiaoxi is really not good. The food they can't eat during the New Year is sparse and common in this Wuwei camp.
With sufficient meat, Zhou Yuan's "food supplement" skills can finally come in handy. This thing is oily for others to eat, but he eats it to restore blood.
"Gulp, gulp."
The bowl of brown-black medicinal soup, although the taste is bland, also has a spicy and sweet mixed medicinal taste.
I don't think it's a good tonic medicine. Many soldiers didn't even look at the medicine soup and took the vegetables to eat directly.
As expected, I asked the chef and found out that the tonic medicine is boiled repeatedly every ten days, and one bowl is taken in the morning, noon and evening. Today's medicine soup is Shunqi San for preventing heatstroke and clearing fire.
Before leaving, Zhou Yuan wanted to find a sink to wash the dishes, but the quick auxiliary soldiers took it away. He was really served like a young master.
The key is that these treatments are not only free, but also have monthly salaries. If you don't have to go to the battlefield, it can be considered a welfare unit.
When the recruits gathered in the afternoon, Zhou Yuan realized that this benefit was not easy to get.
After the coach in the camp introduced the military camp regulations and his own name, he asked the recruits to line up and draw the bow.
If it is just drawing the bow and shooting arrows, it will be absolutely no problem for men who can enter the Wuwei Camp.
But Coach Hong asked them to practice strength in the empty draw. Those who dared to release it in the empty draw would damage the bow body and bowstring and have to pay for it themselves.
The yellow birch bow in Zhou Yuan's hand is a stone bow. He has three points of spirit attributes, plus the blessing of the martial arts [Big Bear Post], drawing the bow is like playing.
The other recruits were miserable. After practicing for a while, their arms were sore and swollen, and their arms were shaking. Some couldn't even bend their fingers.
Coach Hong ignored the new recruits who were persisting in pain and walked up to Zhou Yuan.
"This bow is too light for you, I'll change it to a three-stone hard bow for you."
"Yes."
One stone of Wei is equivalent to 60 kilograms, and three stones is 180 kilograms, 360 pounds of pulling force.
Coach Hong Hui wanted to kill Zhou Yuan's spirit and let him know that a little bravery is nothing in the army, but he didn't expect Zhou Yuan to really pull the three-stone hard bow.
"Well, it looks like that, practice it.
Your bow is heavy, I allow you to adapt to the situation. If you can't hold it, slow down and return the string, don't try to cut your fingers."
Coach Hong, with a dignified face, said and left with a stern face. When he saw other coaches, he immediately broke the skill in a second.
"Brothers, how are your new recruits? I have a difficult-to-discipline one here. What should I do?
That kid is too evil. He can pull a 3-stone hard bow to train his strength on the first day of joining the camp."
Although Coach Hong said that something happened, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
How long has it been since such a young man appeared among the good family children of farmers and Cheng family?
That is a 3-stone hard bow. The arrows shot out cannot be called feather arrows, but javelins in the shape of feather arrows.
In front of the 3-stone hard bow, whether you are an armored soldier or not, you can still shoot one with an armor-piercing arrow.
"What's the situation, Lao Hong? How did such a good seedling fall into your hands?
Wait, I will report to the captain and ask him to transfer the boy to the Shesheng Camp for careful training."
"Don't, I haven't gotten over this addiction yet. At least give me two days to train him and see if this boy has a talent for archery.
What if he is just strong and has no accuracy at all."
"Old Hong, what you said is wrong. Accuracy is something that can be practiced. As long as he is strong, stamina and not blind, he will be able to practice good accuracy sooner or later."
"Okay, then you go and report it. I will train him first.
There is only one outstanding one among this group of new recruits. If it weren't for the captain, I wouldn't tell you."
"Hehe, we must train this kid well, so that those noble families can see that there are good boys among good families."
The captain of Shesheng Camp and the captain of Wuwei Camp are not the same person, and the requirements for soldiers are also different.
Wuwei Camp requires soldiers to be brave and brave, while Shesheng Camp requires soldiers to have extraordinary arm strength and endurance, and it is best if they have archery talent.
Zhou Yuan didn't expect that he would be targeted by the coach of Shesheng Camp as soon as he arrived at Wuwei Camp.
At this time, he was still holding the bow to practice strength, and he didn't know that he would be given special care soon.
As dusk approached, the new recruits on the parade ground dispersed one after another, and only Zhou Yuan was left by Coach Hong.
"Young man, do you want to be an ordinary soldier or a general in the camp?"
"Of course I want a general. If I can get promoted, who would stay as a soldier?"
"That's right. You can shoot a hard bow and have enough endurance. I recommended you to Lieutenant Li of Shesheng Camp.
Your transfer order will come in the next two days. Just because you can shoot three stones, you will be at least a sergeant in Shesheng Camp.
If you have some talent in archery, it is not impossible to be promoted to Dubo."
"This Dubo is the most basic general in our Wei Dynasty. He has 50 combat soldiers under his command. Those below Dubo are soldiers, and those above Dubo are officials.
With an official position and official status, you, a young man, will be promoted to heaven in one step. How dare you try?"
"Thank you, Coach Hong, for the recommendation. Yuan is eager for it, so why should he be afraid?"
