Chapter 177: The King of All Members
On a new day, training officially begins.
Zhou Chongshan is not a sharp-tongued person, so after accepting a new task from the leader, the task of explaining the matter still fell to Li Ce.
In a few words, Li Ce explained clearly what he was going to do for extra practice.
Although there were no complaints, the soldiers below all had bitter expressions on their faces.
As I said before, they already have a lot of training programs. They are exhausted every day. Do they need to add new training programs? Just hearing this news made many of them tremble in their legs.
Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, Li Ce certainly knew what they were thinking.
Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face...
"Oh, by the way, the leader also said that if you are really not good enough and can't keep up with the intensity of training, he will also make If other arrangements are made, we will be divided into two troops in the future. Our side will be the elite troops, and the other side will be the ordinary troops. Those who are not good will go to the ordinary troops, and those who are good will stay!"
Speaking of this, Li Ce's voice paused, and after he spoke again, his voice rose by several decibels.
"Now I'll give you a chance, stand up if you can't do it! I won't force it!"
As soon as these words were said, the soldiers lined up in the phalanx outside fell into silence.
The bitter looks on the soldiers' faces were all wiped away in just one sentence.
People in this primitive era did not have such a situation as "displaying trash". Those who "displayed trash" became dead.
Everyone of them tries their best in everything they do. In modern society, they would probably all be troublemakers, the kind who can tie others up to death.
At this moment, the thoughts in their minds are very simple.
【No? Who can't? ! How could I not do it? ! 】
Accurately capturing the changes in expressions on the soldiers' faces, Li Ce nodded with satisfaction.
“Now, let me tell you some good news. From today on, our daily meals will be changed to three meals a day, and the leader has said that we will be provided with eggs and meat for every meal!”
As soon as these words were said, the soldiers below immediately beamed with joy.
Even now that the people of their tribe have no shortage of food and will not go hungry, it is still a very luxurious thing to eat three meals a day, including eggs and meat.
Looking at the excited soldiers, Li Ce's speech continued...
"From now on, you may open your belly and eat to death, but I will never let you starve! But! On the contrary, you have to train hard for me in the future! These three meals are not that delicious!”
“Understood! ”
“Very good, line up to get the equipment and get ready to start training”
Under Li Ce's arrangements, the whole thing went extremely smoothly, and the soldiers who received the new equipment were also very excited.
After distributing the equipment, Li Ce began to teach the soldiers to wear rattan armor.
Although the rattan armor is light, for soldiers who have never worn anything other than animal skins before, the feeling of wearing rattan armor and not wearing rattan armor must be different.
In order to allow them to adapt better, according to Li Ce's idea, all the rattan armor soldiers must wear rattan armor for future training.
After this, the training officially begins.
Although Li Ce said something harsh at that time, he was not stupid. He suddenly increased the training intensity and the soldiers could not bear it even if they had to eat three meals a day.
There is always a process to improve the intensity of training.
According to their leader's wishes, the next battle requires the use of swords and one-handed bucklers, so the time originally used for crescent halberd training will be freed up to train swords and one-handed bucklers. . After that, when the soldiers' physical fitness catches up, the training intensity and training items will be gradually increased.
During this process, every soldier gritted his teeth and endured to the end, even if he was trained to death every day.
No one wants to admit that they are not good, and then be kicked out of the elite army and become a lone soldier in the ordinary army.
Yes, at this moment, there are not even a single soldier in the ordinary army.
According to their leader, this ordinary army is temporarily composed of tribe members. To put it bluntly, they are usually responsible for mining, farming, cutting trees, etc., and when the tribe is attacked, they can take up arms again. The fighting group.
These tribe members are now collectively called militiamen. Zhou Xu divided these militiamen into batches, just like changing shifts. Every other week, they will rotate through a consolidation training to avoid the actual situation of war. Sometimes, they were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
If the soldiers of their elite unit descend, they will directly become generals. When the battle comes, they will command the militiamen to fight.
But unfortunately, none of the soldiers in the elite troops wanted to do this job of being 'promoted'.
But after all, the increase in training intensity is real. Some soldiers still want to hold on in their minds, but their bodies can no longer hold on. It is also a reality to collapse on the ground.
Over a period of time, three more people gradually appeared in the ordinary troops.
At first, these three people were definitely unwilling. In the end, they even begged Zhou Xu to let them return to the elite army.
But it is also true that they cannot keep up with the intensity of training.
It is impossible for soldiers who cannot keep up with training on the first day to catch up immediately on the second day.
At the same time, it is impossible for elite troops to reduce the intensity of daily training to cooperate with those soldiers who cannot keep up. Then they can only let those who cannot keep up go to the ordinary troops to continue to adjust.
Normally speaking, as long as the elite troops do not relax, this gap will only become larger and larger over time, until the elite troops reach a bottleneck and they will have the possibility of catching up.
But those three people were also very persistent. In the end, Zhou Xu had no choice but to think of a way...
"That's good. Anyway, in addition to daily training and regular organization, ordinary troops There is nothing else besides training for the militia. I allow you to continue training with the elite troops every day. If you can successfully keep up with the training intensity, I will allow you to return to the elite troops.”
Although they are still in the ordinary army, the leader has allowed them to continue training with the elite army, and as long as they can keep up, they can return to the elite army. For this reason, the three of them naturally have no objection.
Just like that, time passed quietly.
After late autumn, winter is not far away. The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. The obvious chill can be felt in the early morning and late night on the grassland.
During this period, under the hard work of the engineering team, this grassland camp has been successfully upgraded into a 'village'.
Due to time constraints, the engineering team set off for the barren mountain camp early after a short rest.
Also during this time, he met Drogo, the centaur leader.
But this time, the other party failed to capture wild horses for him. According to Drogo, due to climate changes, the wild horse herds have most likely left this area.
In other words, in the next period of time, their tribe may not be able to obtain more wild horses.
Zhou Xu was quite calm about this. After all, they already had twenty-seven horses in the camp, which was enough for the time being.
But Drogo sighed in melancholy for a long time. Leaving aside the two horses that were exchanged for lasso, they caught wild horses and exchanged a total of one hundred and twenty-five arrows from Zhou Xu.
The quantity is actually quite large, but for them, it is still not enough!
