Many people showed disapproval. In their opinion, what is the use of standing so straight and still for a period of time? Can this still scare the enemy
Sun Tu didn't mean to explain more to them. He just looked at Wu Huan and Zhu Lin and said, "I want to train an elite soldier in my own way. Unless you can convince me that you are already elite." , otherwise you will either leave the army, or you will obey my orders obediently!"
When he said these words, he had a heart-stopping aura about him, but after Wu Huan and Wu Huan looked at each other, they forced themselves to ask: "I wonder what we can do to make the regiment believe that we are already elites?"
"Ha... How dare you call yourself an elite when you two are both top soldiers?" Sun Tu smiled disdainfully: "It's very simple, use your two most proud skills to see if you can hurt me. As long as you can hurt me at all. , even if you are indeed elite, you no longer need to train as hard as others. You are just the same." This last sentence was addressed to the soldiers.
However, ordinary soldiers did not have the courage to jump out and contradict Sun Tu. Everyone cast their expectant eyes on Wu Huan and the others. This left the two of them with no room for regret. After looking at each other, they shouted and separated. They rushed towards Sun Tu from left to right.
Wu Huan was tall and strong, so he punched Sun Tu in front of him with his fist. Zhu Lin, who was short in body, took advantage of the situation and squatted down before rushing towards him. He swept out his leg and hit Sun Tu's lower body. It was obvious that the two of them had cooperated for a long time and had a tacit understanding. This offensive took into account both the left and right sides, and was likely to force Sun Tu back in one fell swoop.
Sun Tu couldn't help but show a hint of approval when he saw the two men's moves, but he didn't retreat as they wanted. Instead, he saw the right opportunity and suddenly stood up, kicking him in mid-air. With a quick kick, he directly kicked Wu Huan's fist hard, and at the same time, Zhu Lin's kick that attacked him fell into the empty space.
Wu Huan was very powerful, and he used 70% to 80% of his strength in this punch. He thought that if Sun Tu tried to parry forcefully, he would be able to stagger him back. Unexpectedly, after his hands and feet collided, he only felt a strong force coming from the opponent. The impact from his feet not only offset the force of his fists, but also caused his body to sway. His steps were already unsteady, and he could only use the force to move back. He was secretly amazed in his heart, never expecting that Sun Tu could be so strong at such a young age.
Then, a scene that shocked him even more appeared. Sun Tu, who was fighting with him, suddenly fell into the air with no possibility of borrowing any force. He fell rapidly and hit Zhu Lin who was about to get up, frightening the opponent. He quickly pulled away and dodged to the side.
But his movements were far inferior to that of Sun Tu. Just as he hurriedly dodged to the side, Sun Tu had already landed on the ground, and without any delay, he formed a knife with his palm and slashed diagonally towards his chest. This move came so fast that Zhu Lin had no possibility of dodge. He could only shout lowly and put his hands forward to block it in front of his chest.
But at this moment, a ray of light flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, and then the attack suddenly changed when he was only about half a foot away from the target, turning his palms into claws, grabbing Zhu Lin's wrists, and then With the force of leaning forward in his attempt to resist the blow, he was pulled forward and staggered forward, and his left hand that had not moved had already punched out, directly towards Zhu Lin's face.
The strong hunting wind brought by this punch alone already made Zhu Lin feel pain in his face. If he was really hit, his facial bones would probably be broken. Just when he couldn't help but scream in surprise, his fist suddenly stopped just two inches away from him. At the same time, Sun Tu also let go of his right hand that was holding his wrists. In a flash, he was already facing another opponent. Wu Huan came to kill him.
At this time, Zhu Lin only felt a chill on his back, but he was breaking out in a cold sweat because of the crisis just now. He did not dare to attack again, because Sun Tu had shown mercy just now. If that punch had hit him, he would have already hit him. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Wu Huan also felt guilty at this time, not only because he saw Zhu Lin's failure, but also because after another confrontation with Sun Tu, the two men's hands collided, which made his bones hurt, and the outcome was already clear. With this guilty conscience, the movements of his hands became even more hesitant and slow. Sun Tu seized the opportunity and pressed his hand on the vital part of his chest. Then with a force of his palm, he knocked out more than a hundred of his The heavy body was pushed out again and he almost fell to the ground.
This time, Wu Huan did not dare to rush forward. He already knew how big the gap was between him and Sun Tu. The other party had shown mercy twice to give him face. He could no longer mess around without knowing what was going on. So although I felt a little disappointed, I still lowered my head and clasped my fists after standing still: "The team practiced martial arts well, and I lost my humble position."
Sun Tu then put down his posture and looked at the two of them: "Do you still dare to call yourself an elite now?"
"No... I don't dare." The two of them shook their heads in shame.
"Then follow my orders and continue training. And any of you who think you can hurt me can come up and give it a try!" Sun Tu said and glanced at the country soldiers in front of him.
Seeing that both Dutou were unable to perform ten moves in front of Sun Tuanlian, these ordinary soldiers naturally did not dare to move anymore and said one after another: "We are willing to obey Tuanlian's orders and practice well!"
"Okay, then as you asked before, let me stand in military posture for half an hour." Sun Tu said and stood upright as an example, followed by Lu Da, Yang Zhi, who had been watching the show, and The ten selected soldiers also stood in line with their chests raised. Soon, everyone in the entire military camp stood up in a military posture as required, and no one dared to raise any objections.
The army has always had its own rules, which is to respect the strong. If Sun Tu had relied on his official position to force the soldiers to obey orders and drill before, then after easily defeating the two captains one against two, his prestige was enough to overwhelm everyone in front of him.
Half an hour later, Sun Tu just ordered everyone to take a rest, and then his eyes fell on those gray-bearded veterans: "You have to think clearly, now is just the beginning, what is to be done next The movements are much more difficult than this easy way of standing in line. If you persist, I will not pay you for the medicine if there is any damage."
Now that the matter was brought up again, it was much more convincing than before. After the veterans hesitated, someone finally said: "Sun Tuanlian, you said that as long as the young men in my family come to come, they can get the money and food they deserve. Is it true that we got the land that the government promised us before?"
Sun Tu nodded seriously: "How could I deceive you about such a matter? In a few days, I will get the land deed.
At that time, as long as you get my approval, you will all get your own land. If I can't do this within one month, I will give up my job! "
Speaking of this, everyone no longer had any doubts. At that moment, several veterans staggered out from the middle of the team: "In that case, we are willing to let our nephews and nephews enter the military camp on our behalf..." As long as it is true as Sun Tu said. In other words, the income from being a soldier is no worse than working outside or farming for others. Moreover, the rural soldiers are no better than the Xiang soldiers, and they don’t need tattoos on their faces. In the end, there is no worry at all.
After finally convincing most of the veterans, Sun Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Okay, then I will let you practice the relevant actions of following orders. Let's start with turning left, right and back. !”
In fact, Sun Tu's training of these rural soldiers was completely copied from the recruits of later generations, and even came from the early stage of military training for freshmen in the school. He didn't think these routine movements were difficult. The reason why he practiced standing at attention for more than a day was just to persuade those veterans to retreat and at the same time establish his prestige in the army.
But what happened next shocked him. He had always demonstrated the simple movements of turning left, right and back to them. When he demonstrated it to them several times and asked them to turn around according to the command, the square formation was originally quite neat. Suddenly there was chaos.
Those young and strong rural soldiers stayed on the spot after hearing the order. Some were hesitant and overwhelmed, and some turned completely in the wrong direction... Anyway, less than 30% of them could accurately perform the standard action of turning left. Come.
This made Sun Tu dumbfounded and a little angry at the same time. He immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Pull your spirits up and listen to my order before you move and turn left!"
But even though his face was darkened, most of the soldiers in front of him still made wrong moves, either facing right or backward, and some still looked left and right, not knowing what to do.
After trying several times in succession, Sun Tu finally accepted the fact that this routine action that even elementary school students could easily do in later generations was a difficult problem for today's Song Dynasty soldiers. The reason is that 90% of these people are illiterate, so the distinction between left and right is not as clear as that of later generations.
Even though Sun Tu demonstrated several times, telling them which side was left and which was right, once they actually started moving, it was still a mess.
As soon as the training of the rural soldiers began, Sun Tu faced an extremely difficult situation. He could only endure it, explain to them in detail, and then select a few soldiers who did the right moves to let them show off in front of everyone. One is doing a demonstration.
It was not until the sky darkened that the soldiers finally understood the difference between left and right. However, Sun Tu shook his head and sighed. He had lost his temper a long time ago.
But this is the reality. For a group of mud-legged people who were just waiting to die, they have no foundation in military literacy. Laying the foundation is often the most important and difficult thing, so Sun Tu can only teach patiently. .
Looking at this scene, Yang Zhi, who had been in the army for a long time, vaguely understood something: "Brother Lu, if my prediction is correct, as long as these people can really meet the standards proposed by Saburo, these rural soldiers may really become elites." Woolen cloth."
