After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

According to tradition, a colonel was usually promoted directly from a deputy lieutenant under him, but it was unexpected that someone from the court would take the position this time.

But it doesn’t matter. In the military, strength is the key to success. We’ll know the outcome tomorrow.

Su Qinchao returned to his tent amid Xu Qingshan's mysterious smile.

He was still completely confused, so he decided not to think too much about it and told Guanqi to prepare some tea in case there were any guests coming.

Sure enough, just half a quarter of an hour later, a young general who called himself Deputy Lieutenant Zhiguo came up to them.

He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, looked handsome, a little older than himself, and had a menacing aura.

"I'm Deputy Captain Guo, Song Zilin, meeting Captain Su." Although Song Zilin was bowing, he looked directly at Su Qinchao with resentment in his eyes.

"Is Deputy Captain Song dissatisfied with Su?" He usually likes to play the straight ball.

"I want to compete with you." Unexpectedly, Su Qinchao asked directly. Song Zilin hesitated for a moment and then told him his purpose.

"What to compete in?" Su Qinchao was not afraid of the competition. His weakness was in the art of war. It seemed that he would not have much free time in the future. He had to study hard. It would be great if he could find a teacher.

"Archery, single combat is fine!"

"You all know how to shoot arrows, so let's have a one-on-one duel. We can start after the military training tomorrow. Anyone who has any doubts about me can come and challenge me." Su Qinchao thought about it and decided to resolve the issue once and for all.

next day

After the military training, Su Qinchao marked out an area, invited Xu Qingsong to preside over the training, and stood in the circle with a gun in one hand, waiting for people to challenge him.

The first one to go up was Song Zilin, who was holding a long sword. At the beginning, Su Qinchao did not fight well.

This was because the two men had different personalities. Su Qinchao always left room for maneuver when he made his moves, while Song Zilin used the killing moves he had learned on the battlefield.

In the end, Su Qinchao had to use 70% of his strength. In just over ten moves, he sent Song Zilin flying.

"Great!" The soldiers watching the excitement nearby all shouted.

"I am convinced!" Song Zilin got up and did not feel ashamed. He bowed in submission and stood among the soldiers, intending to continue watching.

Soon the second challenger stepped forward. He was an unknown centurion who called himself Gao Yi and also wielded a spear.

When fighting, although his strength is good, he still lacks a lot of moves.

This time, Su Qinchao did not knock the man away. Instead, he kicked the opponent's spear out of the circle and then stopped.

After a few rounds, the surrounding soldiers were so excited that even Yuan Wu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

He winked at the person beside him and asked Guide Sijie Li Xiu to leave the field. The difference between the two was only half a level, so it didn't matter whether they won or lost.

It's not that he doesn't trust Yuan Wu, it's mainly because he is a newcomer and it's inappropriate for you, a general two levels higher than him, to make things difficult for him.

Li Xiu came down with his double hammers, and the two fought back and forth for a long time without a clear winner. In terms of strength, the two were equally matched, and although Su Qinchao was better in terms of skills, he could not match him in terms of momentum.

Moreover, Li Xiu would use some unexpected moves from time to time, after all, he had never really been on the battlefield.

As expected, Li Xiu swung his hammer and Su Qinchao lost half of his move. The duel ended here.

Su Qinchao first thanked Xu Qingshan, and then greeted the people who had competed with him in martial arts one by one.

Finally, he stopped in front of Gao Yi and asked him if he was willing to be his personal soldier. He could teach him more gun-using techniques.

Gao Yi agreed. This was the first personal soldier that Su Qinchao recruited besides watching chess.

Su Qinchao led Gao Yi over and asked Guanqi to place him according to the military rules.
