Transmigration begins with archery training

Chen Sanshi was drenched in sweat, even his eyes were wet with sweat, and his strength was almost exhausted, but if he gritted his teeth, he could probably hold on for a little longer.

This must be the chemical reaction that occurs when you combine amazing endurance with the Haoran Breathing Technique.

However, his victory was not easy.

Ultimately, Xu Bin was also a military officer who had practiced martial arts for several years and had achieved minor success in blood cultivation.

This battle helped him a lot.

[Technique: Basic Soldier Spear Techniques (Beginner)]

Progress: (52/500)

[Effect: Swift and powerful attacks with incredible endurance]

He personally experienced the effects of these two terms.

I reckon anyone at the same level would be stabbed to death within seven steps, before they could even draw their sword!

His marksmanship was not only sustained but also swift.

It was both long and intense!

"it is good!"

On the high platform, Xiang Tingchun cheered loudly, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

The soldiers watching the battle applauded and cheered.

"fierce!"

Zhu Tong's voice was the loudest.

Xu Wencai craned his neck, watching with great interest: "I see that Brother Chen has a kingly aura about him, and he will surely achieve great things in the future!"

"What good is it to see that?"

Zhu Tong scolded, "You should think about yourself first. It's been ten days and you haven't even mastered a single stance. You'll be sent out to repair the city wall!"

"..."

"Brother Chen is truly remarkable!"

Song Yan was filled with admiration.

Xu Bin felt utterly hopeless.

He lost to a novice in front of hundreds of people.

His military career thereafter had no chance of advancing further.

Not only that, this battle also offended Chen Sanshi.

He used to treat him badly, and it was one thing to give him the cold shoulder.

This time he was ruthless and showed no mercy. If he was resented, wouldn't he be able to make things difficult for Chen Sanshi once he rose to a high position?

"you win."

Xu Bin picked up the knife and slunk away.

Chen Sanshi didn't even have time to speak.

Xiang Tingchun, standing on the high platform, was quite satisfied with the competition. He looked at the civil officials who had come with him:

“When Wang Zhi told me this before, I didn’t believe him. But now it seems that our Poyang Thousand-Household Garrison has indeed produced a great general!”

"County Magistrate Zhang, is everything alright?"

"no problem."

County Magistrate Zhang has already checked the military register: "After I return, I will report to the Liangzhou Governor's Office and clearly state Chen Sanshi's qualifications for selection as a vanguard."

This task should have been done by the county magistrate himself.

However, since the county magistrate died and the new magistrate had not yet been transferred, the county assistant magistrate temporarily took over.

"Ah."

Xiang Tingchun nodded, signaling Chen Sanshi to step down first and continue assessing the remaining new recruits.

"One person has cultivated their qi and blood, but how many have mastered spear techniques within ten days?"

Of the thirty-eight people, six stepped forward.

Xiang Tingchun ordered, "Pair up in pairs and show me how it goes."

"Yes!"

The six men accepted the order.

Before an incense stick had burned, the competition was over, and everyone's performance was basically clear.

"Song Yan is not bad. He should be able to cultivate Qi and Blood in a few more days."

Xiang Tingchun pondered for a moment and said, "The qualification for the striker selection in the second half of next year should not be a problem."

"Your name is Zhu... Zhu Tong? You're not bad either!"

"This group of people was able to produce seven soldiers, which is the highest number ever recorded in Poyang County."

"Alright, you may all leave now."

"The rest, just show me your stance training."

Thirty-two people began practicing the stake training.

There were about fifteen or sixteen people who hadn't even learned stance training yet.

The most outrageous one was a middle-aged man with a goatee who couldn't do a single movement!

Xiang Tingchun frowned, losing patience to read on.

"Alright, that's enough of the assessment."

"Chen Sanshi!"

"Here!" Chen Sanshi replied.

"Effective immediately, you are promoted to banner officer, and in addition to the benefits due to a banner officer, you will be provided with a top-quality warhorse!"

Xiang Tingchun looked to the side and said, "Wang Zhi, you brought these people in, so they're under your command from now on. You have positions under your command, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wang Zhi quickly replied, "There are several empty spaces."

"..."

Xiang Tingchun continued, "The rest of you, fill the vacancies below the rank of centurion. If you break through in cultivation or achieve military merit in the future, you will be promoted!"

After he finished presiding over the assessment, he left in a hurry.

The various centurions were left behind to handle the remaining trivial matters.

First, the soldiers were classified into different ranks, and then it was decided who would be in charge of them.

Every year when the selection officer comes to pick up people, it is also the time when people from above are sent to investigate the ghost employees.

In recent years, the investigations have become increasingly strict, and the phenomenon of "ghost employees" has decreased significantly, but it has not completely disappeared.

A thousand-household garrison should have a full complement of about 1120 people.

The number of people reported by Poyang County is around one thousand.

In reality, there were only a little over nine hundred people.

In other words, there are still nearly a hundred vacancies.

Of the thirty-odd people, those who were presentable enough to pass the inspection were all picked up by the various military officers to fill the vacancies.

Chen Sanshi's team was also not fully staffed, consisting of only seven people.

There was Zhu Tong, who volunteered to come, four fellow villagers, and two others who had been conscripted into the army.

Soon, only two or three elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people remained on the field, the kind of people who were less desirable than a beggar temporarily hired from the street.

"You can't even do a proper horse stance? Send you to the next county to work on the city wall!"

"No, no, no, sir! I can do odd jobs!"

"Handyman, do you know how to feed the horse?"

"I can learn!"

"Learn? Who has time to teach you? Enough nonsense, drag him away!"

Xu Wencai was one of the people no one wanted.

"Brother Chen!"

Seeing that he was about to be carried away, Xu Wencai rushed over as if he had seen a lifeline and grabbed Chen Sanshi's arm tightly: "Do you need any men? Let me follow you, let me follow you!"

"Don't come and bring trouble to us!"

Zhu Tong was extremely disgusted: "When we go to the battlefield, you won't know anything. Won't you just be a burden to us?"

"Who said I can't do anything?"

Xu Wencai said confidently, "Brother Chen, I, Xu Wencai, am knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, skilled in military strategy and administration. Except for my age and lack of martial arts skills, I can do everything. If you want me, you won't regret it!"

"Cut the nonsense."

Commander Liu gave a signal, and two soldiers came forward and grabbed Xu Wencai.

At this moment, Chen Sanshi clasped his hands and said, "Commander Liu, give this man to me."

"you sure?"

Liu Baihu looked puzzled: "Aren't you afraid of taking up one of your spots for nothing? You should think this through."

The issue of receiving a salary without working has nothing to do with Chen Sanshi, the newcomer.

In other words, he doesn't need to gather a large number of people; naturally, the stronger the fighting ability of his subordinates, the better.

"fine."

Chen Sanshi insisted, "I'll have him feed my horses later."

"Let's do it."

Liu Baihu didn't say much: "Do as you please. Tell me anytime if you regret it."

"call……"

"No need to repair the city wall," Xu Wencai breathed a long sigh of relief. "Brother Chen really has good taste!"

"He's just too kind-hearted; you fooled him!" Zhu Tong cursed.

About half an hour later, the soldiers were basically all assigned.

The person in charge of overseeing the warehouse handed Chen Sanshi several slips of paper, telling him that he could use them to collect resources.

There is a blood-nourishing soup, weapons, and a horse.

"I still owe Xu Qiguan a bow."

Chen Sanshi wasn't one to renege on his debts, but he couldn't find Xu Bin in the crowd for a moment: "Never mind, let's go check on the horses first."

horse.

It is a very valuable strategic resource.

Not all banner officers had this.

The entire Poyang Thousand-Household Garrison, in total, had less than thirty horses.

"Officer Chen, this horse of yours is no ordinary horse!"

The head of the warehouse said with a smile, "This is a top-quality white swan that Commander Chen went to great lengths to obtain from the prefectural city. There were only two in total, and he was willing to give you one, which shows how much he values ​​you. Officer Chen, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

He instructed the groom to bring out a fine horse from the stable.

The horse was pure white, with strong muscles and a well-proportioned body. When a gust of wind blew by, its mane danced in the wind like clouds in the sky.

"Shall we give it a try, Officer Chen? But we must be careful."

The person in charge cautioned, "This horse has a very fiery temper."

"I like it strong."

Chen Sanshi mounted his horse.
