He Yan originally thought that if it was Ma Damei who was called by Xiao Jue and they competed with him on horseback and shooting, then after the competition, they could see that they were very skilled, and they should make some representations. But more than ten days have passed, and the days are still normal. Nothing happened except for the recruits who occasionally came to compete with him. Not even a cup of daily rations was given.
Maybe... just a coincidence? He Yan thought, maybe it was just a few coaches who were bored in Liangzhou Wei and wanted to try their skills.
She put it aside for the time being.
After a few rains, the summer heat seems to have decreased a bit. Occasionally, when I get up for a walk in the morning, there is no sun, and there is a cool wind. It won't be long before the summer in Liangzhouwei will be over.
It is precisely because the weather is gradually getting cooler that the recruits can enter the mountains a few days ago.
Baiyue Mountain is huge, and it takes at least one day and one night to cross the mountain. Therefore, the recruits were strictly forbidden not to climb the mountain, at most only to the top of the mountain. Every day, five people form a team and go up the mountain to patrol.
Hong Shan didn't understand, "What are five people patrolling? If there is any danger, are five people enough?"
He Yan thought to himself, of course it's not enough, because it wasn't for you to go on patrol.
The group of recruits stationed by Liangzhou Guards, after all, have been training here for a whole summer, and it will be time to "fight for the flag" before long.
Fighting for the flag is to plant more than a dozen flags on the top of the entire mountain, and select the recruits with better qualifications and excellent results to divide them into teams and go up the mountain to compete on their own. There may be fights between teams during the competition, and when the team finally descends the mountain, whichever team has the most flags in their hands will win. And this final winner will become the most promising recruit, and it is very likely that he will finally enter the forward battalion.
He Yan's goal is now not today's Qianfeng Battalion, but the Nine Banners Battalion.
At present, the recruits are asked to go around the mountain every day, in fact, it is to let them familiarize themselves with the terrain of Baiyue Mountain in advance, remember the location, and when they are fighting for the flag, they will not be unfamiliar with the road. It's just that the recruits don't know it, and He Yan, as someone who has been in the army, knows it.
The last time she fought for the flag in Moxian County, Moxian County was connected to the desert. When the wind blew in the desert, all the landmarks disappeared, and the sand dunes also changed. When they fought for the flag, the situation was very dangerous. If one of the big brothers in the team found a small river, maybe no one would be able to get out of that desert.
"Battle for the flag" not only tests the individual skills of the recruits, but also depends on the unity and cooperation between the teams. It's not enough to just have a certain director. The test is high for everyone. Although the so-called competition for the flag is a period of time, in fact, in a certain way, the competition has already started from now on. Smart people can remember the way when they are on patrol, while those unaware recruits just take it for a spin, don't take it to heart, and will not help at all in "fighting for the flag" in the future.
"Who cares, Brother Ahe, it's your turn to go up the mountain today. Can you hunt a few rabbits with a bow and arrow? Let's sneak back and roast them. I haven't tasted meat for half a month." Mai licked lips.
"I don't take a crossbow," He Yan smiled. "The crossbow is too heavy, so I'll take a knife." The most important thing is that a crossbow is not suitable for melee combat. If there is any problem, it will be of little use. And in a team, there will always be someone with a bow and a crossbow, just borrow it when the time comes.
Seeing Mai's regretful look, she reassured: "It's okay, in a few days, we can go up the mountain together, and Jieshi Hunting can hunt as many rabbits as he wants."
Wheat is dubious.
He Yan also couldn't tell him that everyone was on the mountain when they were fighting for the flag, and the instructor was not there. Maybe they would spend the night on the mountain. Naturally, they could eat whatever they wanted.
She tied the belt on her clothes tightly and heard Hong Shan say, "Then you go down the mountain early, we will celebrate the festival together tonight."
"What festival?" He Yan was at a loss.
Mai Dao: "The Qixi Festival!"
He Yan: "..."
I almost forgot, today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Girls' Day. But what kind of Qixi Festival is their group of men celebrating, He Yan said with a smile: "It seems like you should spend it with the girl you like? Do you have a girl you like?"
Hong Shan immediately said: "Don't look down on people, there are many girls who like your brother Shan. If Brother Shan wants to celebrate the Qixi Festival, the girl will definitely be happy."
"I... I don't," Mai also said quickly, "but my brother does! My brother likes Sister Xiaolan in the noodle restaurant opened by Uncle Sun in the east of the city!"
Stone:"… "
He Yan looked at Shi Shi, Shi Shi's ears were red to the base of his ears. Mai asked again, "Brother Ahe, do you have a girl you like? What kind of girl do you like?"
He Yan casually said nonsense: "Good-looking, smart, excellent skills, rich in money, yes, but also gentle and considerate, lively and interesting. It is best to be good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even better if you can cook. "
After He Yan left, Mai was still chewing on He Yan's words and murmured, "Brother Ah He's requirements for his sweetheart are really high..."
"You listen to his nonsense," Hong Shan nodded his head, "he wants Princess Shang, Mai, don't imitate him!"
Mai nodded solemnly.
…
He Yan first went to the weapon rack in the martial arts field and took a mandarin duck knife. Ever since she defeated Huang Xiong's golden-backed sword with the mandarin duck knife, there have been days when people practiced this mandarin duck knife every day. However, they were not as flexible as He Yan when they practiced the mandarin duck knife. Therefore, in the end, He Yan was almost still using the Mandarin Duck Saber in the martial arts field.
When she went up the mountain today, she took this knife light and easy to use. If she wanted to make a fire on the mountain to temporarily roast two fish or something, this knife was also convenient for killing fish.
She took the knife and walked to the other side of the road, and the other four were ready.
The four of them, He Yan, didn't know each other. They were not under the commander Liang. When they saw He Yan, someone smiled and pointed behind He Yan, "Go pick a horse, we'll just leave."
He Yan nodded, she went to the stable to pick a horse, and the five of them went up Baiyue Mountain together.
The mountains are densely covered with jungles, shading the sun, and it is much cooler and more comfortable to walk than the foot of the mountain. From time to time, hares jumped past, and someone asked, "How about we hunt a few rabbits?"
"Okay, okay," the recruit who greeted He Yan agreed, "Which one of you brought a crossbow?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Probably because the bow and crossbow are too heavy, and they have to stay on the mountain for more than half a day, no one wants to carry them, so no one carries them.
"Yes, I didn't bring it." A dangling-eyed recruit shrugged, his tone was not very good, but his eyes were on He Yan, "Then we can only watch."
Everyone knew that He Yan was excellent at archery, and probably thought that He Yan would bring it.
He Yan looked back at each other indifferently, with a calm expression.
Let General Feihong hunt rabbits for you, do you have any brains? The face is really big. she thinks.
