Chapter 177: All-Member Roll King
A new day, and training officially begins.
Zhou Chongshan was not a man of good words, so after receiving a new task from the leader, the task of explaining things fell on Li Ce.
In just a few words, Li Ce explained clearly what needed to be done in the extra training.
Although there were no complaints, the soldiers below all looked miserable.
As mentioned before, they already have a lot of training items, and they are exhausted every day. Do they need to add new training items? Just hearing this news, many of them trembled in their legs.
Looking at the soldiers' expressions, Li Ce certainly knew what they were thinking.
Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face...
"Oh, by the way, the leader also said that if you really can't keep up with the intensity of this training, he has made other arrangements. We will be divided into two teams in the future. Our side is the elite team, and the other side is the ordinary team. Those who are not good enough will go to the ordinary team, and those who are good enough will stay!"
Having said this, Li Ce paused, and when he spoke again, his voice rose several decibels.
"I'll give you a chance now. If you can't do it, stand up! I won't force you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers lined up in formation outside fell silent.
The bitter expressions on the soldiers' faces were all wiped away with just one sentence.
People in this primitive era don't have the concept of "giving up". Those who do will become dead.
They all try their best in everything they do. If they were in modern society, they would probably be the kings of competition who can crush others.
At this moment, the thoughts in their minds are very simple.
[No? Who can’t?! How can I not be able to do it?!]
Accurately capturing the changes in expressions on the soldiers' faces, Li Ce nodded with satisfaction.
"Now, let me tell you some good news. From today on, our meals will be changed to three meals a day, and the leader said that we will be given eggs and meat for every meal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers below immediately showed joy on their faces.
Even at a time when the people in their tribe had no shortage of food and would not go hungry, eating three meals a day with eggs and meat in every meal was still a very luxurious thing.
Looking at the excited soldiers, Li Ce continued his speech...
"From now on, you can eat as much as you want. I will never let you go hungry! But in return, you have to train as hard as you can in the future! Eat three meals a day, and these three meals are not so delicious! Do you understand?!"
"clear!!"
"Very good, line up to get your equipment and get ready to start training!"
Under Li Ce's arrangement, the whole thing went extremely smoothly, and the soldiers who received the new equipment were also very excited.
After distributing the equipment, Li Ce began to teach the soldiers how to wear rattan armor.
Although the rattan armor is light, for the soldiers who have never worn anything other than animal skins before, the feeling of wearing rattan armor and not wearing rattan armor is definitely different.
In order to enable them to adapt better, according to Li Ce's idea, all rattan armor soldiers will have to wear rattan armor in future training.
After this, the training officially began.
Although Li Ce spoke harshly at the time, he was not stupid. He increased the intensity of training all at once, and the soldiers could not bear it even if they had to eat three meals a day.
Improving the intensity of training always takes a process.
According to their leader, the next battle will require the use of swords and one-handed round shields, so the time originally used for crescent halberd training will be freed up to be used for training swords and one-handed round shields.
After that, when the soldiers’ physical fitness has caught up, we will gradually increase the training intensity and training items.
During this process, even though the soldiers were being trained to death every day, they gritted their teeth and persevered to the end.
No one wants to admit that he is not good enough, and then be kicked out of the elite troops and become the only one in the ordinary troops.
That’s right, at this moment, there is not a single soldier in the ordinary army.
According to their leader, this ordinary force is temporarily formed by tribal members. To put it bluntly, they are usually responsible for mining, farming, cutting trees and other work, and when the tribe is attacked, they can take up arms and fight.
These tribal members are now collectively called militia. Zhou Xu divided these militiamen into batches. Just like shifts, they will take turns to undergo consolidation training every week to prevent them from being at a loss as to what to do when a real battle comes.
If the soldiers of their elite troops surrender, they will directly become generals, and when the battle comes, they will be the ones to command the militia to fight.
But unfortunately, none of the soldiers in the elite troops wanted to do this job of "promotion".
But that being said, the increase in training intensity is real. Some soldiers may want to hold on in their minds, but their bodies can no longer hold on, and they collapse to the ground. This is also a reality.
After a period of time, three more people appeared in the ordinary troops.
At first, these three people were definitely unwilling, and in the end they even came to Zhou Xu for help, begging Zhou Xu to let them return to the elite troops.
But it is also true that they cannot keep up with the intensity of training.
Soldiers who cannot keep up with the training on the first day will not be able to catch up immediately on the second day.
At the same time, it is impossible for the elite troops to reduce the intensity of their daily training to cooperate with those soldiers who cannot keep up. Therefore, those who cannot keep up can only let those who cannot keep up go to the ordinary troops for further adjustments.
Normally speaking, as long as the elite troops do not relax, this gap will only become larger and larger over time, until the elite troops reach a bottleneck, and then they will have the possibility of catching up.
But the three were also very persistent, and Zhou Xu had no choice but to come up with a solution...
"How about this? Since ordinary troops have nothing else to do besides daily training and regularly organizing militia training, I will allow you to continue training with the elite troops every day. If you can successfully keep up with the training intensity, I will allow you to return to the elite troops."
Although they are still in the ordinary troops, the leader has allowed them to continue training with the elite troops, and as long as they can keep up, they can return to the elite troops. At this point, the three naturally have no objection.
Just like that, time passed quietly.
After late autumn, winter is not far away. The temperature has dropped rapidly in the past two days. In the early morning and late night on the grassland, one can already feel the distinct chill.
During this period, the grassland camp has been successfully upgraded to a "village" under the full efforts of the engineering team.
Due to time constraints, the engineering team set off for the barren mountain camp after a short rest.
Also during this time, he came face to face with the Centaur leader Drogo.
But this time, the other party failed to catch a wild horse for him. According to Drogo, due to climate change, the herd of wild horses had most likely left the area.
In other words, their tribe might not be able to obtain more wild horses for some time to come.
Zhou Xu was quite calm about this. After all, they already had 27 horses in the camp, which was enough for the time being.
But Drogo was sighing for a long time. Excluding the two horses used to exchange for the lasso, they only captured 125 arrows from Zhou Xu when they caught the wild horses.
The number is actually not small, but it is still not enough for them!
