Chapter 197 - Hard Practice

It had already been a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the hundred thousand dead men army had already arrived at Tongguan.

Yang Zheng was among these people. Although he was a young leader, at this moment, he was no different from the rest. He was just a small soldier.

"Big brother Yang, the place we're staying at is too shabby!" One of the soldiers beside Yang Zheng said.

This little soldier was Yang Zheng's brother in Chang'an City back then, and there were dozens of them. This time, there were only the two of them who entered the army because their physical qualities were good!

"The country is still very hard right now. It's already good that we have a place to live!" Yang Zheng said.

The soldier nodded.

That night, they stayed in the military camp. The barracks were old and run-down, but there were quite a few people living inside! There were more than 30 people living in this small house! Squeezing into a crowd, Yang Zheng was fine, but he soon fell asleep, but that soldier who came with him was unable to sleep at all!

The next morning, before the sky brightened, everyone was already shouting!

From this day onwards, they officially began their intensive training as soldiers!

Every morning was for running, lineup training and in the afternoon was for martial arts training! In the evening, they still had to get "ideological education" before they could eat. Only after that would they rest!

On the second night, the soldier was lying there, sleeping soundly without a single thought! The day's training was too tiring. From morning to night, there was almost no time to rest!

The same thing happened on the third and fourth day …

Half a month later, sharp whistles suddenly came from outside in the middle of the night!

He struggled to open his eyes and saw Yang Zheng, and said: "Big brother Yang, why are you pushing me so late?"

Yang Zheng said: "This is the army's emergency whistle, we need to go immediately! I can't sleep anymore! "

The little soldier was stunned for a moment. Then, he hastily put on his clothes and left the room!

However, when they arrived outside, most of the people were already there. They were actually late!

"Why are you two only now?" A Academy Officer said coldly as he looked at the two of them with a whip in his hand.

"We didn't hear the whistle!" Yang Zheng said.

"You should know about the military discipline, right? If you can't get here within fifteen minutes from an emergency gathering, how will you punish yourself? " The Academy Officer said coldly.

"Ten lashes!" Yang Zheng clenched his teeth and said.

"Very good, ten whips each. Execute them now!" Academy Officer said coldly.

"Don't punish Big Brother Yang. I was too sleepy and didn't hear the whistle. Afterwards, my clothes took up too much time!" Big brother Yang was dragged down by me! If you want to hit me then hit me, don't punish Big Brother Yang! " That soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Military discipline is like a mountain!" Violation of military discipline, regardless of the reason, must be punished! It doesn't matter if he's waiting for you or not, if he's being dragged down by you, he'll still be punished! " The Academy Officer sneered.

Academy Officer was not very old, he looked to be about twenty years of age, and his appearance was somewhat frail and frail. It was just that he was wearing a military uniform, and standing there, giving off an extremely cold and callous feeling! At this moment, Academy Officer did not waste any more words, he raised his whip and lashed towards the two of them! Ten times per person, that was the end!

Yang Zheng and the little soldier's bodies were covered with whip marks, both of them clenching their teeth and persevering on! In the end, the little soldier was beaten until he was in extreme pain. Tears even seeped out of his eyes, but he did not cry out!

"A man should sweat and bleed, but are you still a man?" Academy Officer said disdainfully.

"You … How can you say that about me? " The little soldier hastily wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said angrily.

"Hmph, what you're doing isn't a man's thing, so I can naturally say that to you! Today, I will punish you without showing any mercy. I will make you remember not to violate military discipline! Anyone who violates military discipline will be punished! I want to carve the words' military discipline like mountain 'into your hearts! " The Academy Officer snorted coldly.

After the emergency gathering was completed, the army began to march towards the north!

It was now night, and tens of thousands of recruits were running forward. An hour later, they arrived in a forest!

As they entered the forest, the only sound that could be heard was the crowing of an old crow from far away. Many of the soldiers felt fear seeping through their hearts!

"We need to reach a distance of fifteen kilometers before daybreak! No one is allowed to fall behind! " Academy Officer rushed over from the back and shouted loudly.

Yang Zheng and the little soldier were running forward!

Yang Zheng was's assistant in all of history, so he had trained in martial arts since young, and his body was extremely good! He did not feel any fatigue right now! However, the soldier that came with him was currently panting heavily. The soldier felt as if his entire body was going to fall apart. He could barely run!

The soldier gritted his teeth and continued forward! However, his body had almost reached its limit and he couldn't run anymore! He was anxious and angry, and tears could not help but appear in the corners of his eyes!

"What do you look like?" Are you still a man? Look, they're all faster than you, so you're the slowest! On the battlefield, you will also have to implicate your comrades! "Trash, you trashy trash!" Academy Officer scolded loudly from behind.

"I'm not trash!" The little soldier said angrily.

"If he's not trash, then act like a man! He ran forward with big strides! "Don't stop!" Academy Officer said coldly.

The soldier gritted his teeth and took a big step forward. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat! At this moment, a steep slope appeared in front of him. In the darkness of the night, he did not manage to see the road in front of him, and he actually fell to the ground! He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but to no avail! At this moment, he felt a sharp pain on his left ankle!

"Get up! Trash, continue forward! " Academy Officer came to his side and used his whip to point at him.

The soldier struggled to stand up. However, one of his feet was injured. At that moment, he could only leap forward! His heart was anxious, angry, depressed, and in pain. Tears were already streaming down his face! He already hated this Academy Officer to the extreme. If he had a blade in his hand, he would definitely stab this Academy Officer in the heart!

Yang Zheng came to the side of the little soldier and supported him. Bringing the little soldier forward, the little soldier's face revealed an expression of gratitude!

"Hurry up!" Faster, I have to get out of here before daybreak! " Academy Officer looked at the two of them and said coldly.

"Big brother Yang, don't bother with me!" If we are too late, we will be punished! If you bring me along, I'm sure you won't make it in time! You can go ahead by yourself! " The soldier said.

"This is bad!" You are my brother, we came to the death army together, we came to the forbidden army together, we should naturally help each other through the rain and the wind! When he can't see us, I'll carry you forward! " Yang Zheng laughed in a low voice.

The Academy Officer seemed to have heard Yang Zheng's words and snorted. It was just that this Academy Officer also increased his speed and quickly disappeared, walking to the front! Yang Zheng was startled, a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes, and he carried the small soldier on his back and walked forward!

The sky gradually brightened. However, only half of the soldiers were able to travel 30 miles. The remaining half hadn't arrived yet!

"A bunch of trash!" Academy Officer's eyes flashed with a cold light!

He waited there until the other half of the soldiers had arrived, and then he ordered the other half to stand their ground! All morning, the late soldiers were standing there! Most of the soldiers could no longer hold on and fainted on the spot. He had his men wake up with water and stood them up until noon!

At noon, all the soldiers were allowed to rest!

"Are you feeling bad that I'm training you guys like this today?" The soldiers were already sitting on the ground. Academy Officer came to their front and said coldly.

The soldiers were stunned as they looked at each other. Finally, someone nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Do you hate me?" The Academy Officer said.

"Hate!" Before the rest of the soldiers could speak, the soldier that was with Yang Zheng had already shouted loudly! The small soldier looked at Academy Officer, his eyes filled with rage!

"Haha!" Hate me, that's good! I'm not afraid that you guys will hate me! Only by making you hate me now can you all be grateful to me in the future! Remember my name, I am Wang Ying. I was originally the leader of the First Army in the Imperial Guard, but now I am the commander of your new First Army! I will use the cruelest and bloodiest method to train you all to become a killing weapon on the battlefield! Let the enemy fear you and let you survive on the battlefield! " Wang Ying said coldly.

He was actually the battle hero who played an important role in the battle of Fengxiang Residence, Wang Ying! Originally, he had been promoted to the position of captain because of his great contributions, but now, he was sent to a new recruit team and became a new recruit commander!

It was already the beginning of October, and the weather was exceptionally cold!

Early that morning, a light rain began to fall from the sky! The rain fell on his body and was ice-cold!

On this day, Wang Ying brought ten thousand new recruits to train again!

They were doing prostrate training in the forest!

The forest was filled with mud and water. Wang Ying was holding onto the pike, and he just lied there in the mud, and advanced forward without any hesitation! The soldiers behind showed hesitation on their faces. However, they too began to crouch down and move forward at the command of their superior.

Yang Zheng and the soldier were also crawling forward, their bodies already turned pitch black from the mud. Yang Zheng's body was fine, and did not feel anything amiss, while the soldier was frozen to the point that his entire body was trembling!

"Do you know why you have to crawl forward?" Wang Ying's voice came from the front.

"I don't know!" The soldier beside Yang Zheng looked at Wang Ying with hatred and said.

"In order to not let the enemy discover me, I can quietly approach them!" Wang Ying smiled when he saw the young soldier's gaze.

The little soldier snorted, and followed Wang Ying forward!

On this day, they will set up camp outside!

Late at night, the little soldier came outside to carry out crawling training by himself! His results were too poor and he was often scolded. He could not bear it any longer and wanted to improve his results! Moreover, the military's ideological and educational work was extremely well done. Everyone wanted to train themselves to become an elite, so naturally, he was not willing to fall behind!

He moved forward step by step, and when he reached the opposite side, he got up and began to train his spear moves alone!

He gripped the spear with both hands and continued thrusting!

Accompanying the thrusting of the spear were the mighty "Kill" words!

Kill! Kill! KILL, KILL, KILL!

The weather was originally cold, but at this moment, he gradually felt that his body was getting hotter!

He only returned to the military camp in the middle of the night!

Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something beside the pillow! He touched it with his hand and found that it was a round object. He was startled!

"It's a hard-boiled egg, hurry up and eat it!" Yang Zheng's voice sounded.

"Big brother Yang, why aren't you asleep yet?" "Did you leave this for me?" The little soldier said gratefully.

"It's not me who left it for you, it's Army Commander Wang Ying who left that egg of his for you!" Yang Zheng said.

"How is this possible?" The soldier was stunned.

"Quickly go to sleep after eating. We still need to train tomorrow!" Yang Zheng said.

The little soldier began to sniff again in disappointment. Tears were dripping down his face again. Then, he hurriedly used his sleeve to wipe them away! The commander said that he was sweating profusely and did not shed tears. He would never let himself cry again!

He swallowed the egg in three gulps and lay down, but he couldn't fall asleep today!

The sound of snoring came from the side. Almost all the soldiers in the barracks were asleep. He wanted to get up and go train!

"Hurry up and sleep, don't go out anymore!" Another voice came from the side. It was Yang Zheng.

"Big brother Yang, I feel that our daily training is much better than before!" Do you think that if we were to meet the Nvzhen, we would be able to win against them? " The soldier said.

"It's doable! As long as no one is afraid of death, everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of your majesty and the Song Dynasty. Yang Zheng said.

"Hm!" Brother Yang, when do you think we can start a war with the Nvzhen? " the soldier asked again.

"I don't know. This depends on His Majesty's strategic plan!" Yang Zheng said.

"I really hope that we can start the war soon! When the time comes, I will do my best to kill the enemy and not disappoint His Majesty. that Wang Ying bastard is disappointed! " The soldier said.

"Sleep!" I'll teach you some ways to adjust your breathing, and you can quickly fall asleep! " Yang Zheng laughed.

Yang Zheng started to teach, while listening, continued to learn, and after a while, sure enough, he was fast asleep.

On the second day, the soldier was once again engaged in training!
