Chapter 148 Recruit Training
123 young people gathered in the open space, anxiously waiting for Jia Zhengjin's arrival.
When they were notified early in the morning, they were all excited as hell.
These young men originally wanted to join the town guard like other villagers. It's just that after a period of training, I found that I couldn't master the basics of swordsmanship, and was finally eliminated!
However, they were not reconciled, so they gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to ask Amber to propose to Lord Keen to form a new crossbowman team.
They may not be able to play with swords, but they are still very confident with bows and crossbows.
Amber didn't dare to go to Jia Zhengjin by himself, so he could only tell his childhood sweetheart Tina. He didn't have any hope at first, but Lord Keen agreed so easily!
When Jia Zhengjin came over, these young people had been waiting for a while. But all were very excited, and there was no one who was not.
"Amber!" After glancing at the 123 people present, Jia Zhengjin looked at each other.
"See Lord Keen!" Amber stood up excitedly, and gave an unstandard military salute.
"Since you proposed it, you will be the captain of this crossbowman team from now on!" Jia Zhengjin looked at him and said, "I hope you can lead this team to train hard, and don't let me down!"
"Of order!!" Amber was extremely excited, and stepped on his feet very hard during the military salute.
Jia Zhengjin looked at these young people who were dressed in civilian clothes, tall, short, fat and thin, and he had some doubts in his heart whether his decision was right.
But since I promised my wife, I must do it. Thinking of this, he first gave an order to Amber: "Take them to the box in the public warehouse. Each person will receive a crossbow and ten arrows. At the same time, each person will receive a complete set of leather armor. Come back after changing the equipment. gather!"
"Follow me!" Amber responded loudly, then turned around and shouted enthusiastically, "Everyone follow me to get the equipment!"
"Crash!!" 123 young people rushed towards the warehouse in a panic.
After about half an hour, they each returned with their equipment. Everyone excitedly kept playing with the crossbow in their hands, and touched the leather armor they were wearing with their hands.
"Report to Lord Keane, the new crossbowmen team has finished dressing!" Amber stood at the front of the team, holding a crossbow in his left hand and an arrow holster on his back.
However, Jia Zhengjin glanced at the young people behind him and was immediately disappointed.
Although he changed into leather armor and took the crossbow, he did change from a villager to an army. But there is no momentum at all, and it looks like a team with no combat effectiveness. In particular, their heights are not equal, and it is very ugly to line up together with mixed heights.
"Line up." No matter what, you have to practice before you know if it works. Jia Zhengjin looked at them and said something.
"Wow!" These hundreds of young people immediately stood side by side and waited for instructions.
Just seeing their queue, Jia Zhengjin shook his head in disappointment: "What kind of array are you in this row? Listen to my order! Arrange backwards based on height!!"
Hearing this order, these young people immediately started to wander around like headless chickens, you look at me, I look at you, and after studying for a long time, they barely lined up.
It took about half an hour to line up, which made Jia Zhengjin very dissatisfied: "It's so difficult to even line up? How do you train next?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Keen..." Headed by Amber, these young people looked at Jia Zhengjin timidly, and replied with a voice as light as a mosquito.
"What are you Nini buzzing about?" Jia Zhengjin put on a straight face and stared at them seriously.
"I'm sorry, Master Keen..." The voices of the young people were a little louder, but they were messy one after another.
"Didn't you eat?! Louder! Be tidy!" Jia Zhengjin yelled.
Amber and these young people were terrified. I wondered if this was Mr. Keen, who was always smiling and seemed to have no temper? However, they were also infected by Lord Keen's roar, so they all raised their voices and shouted: "I'm sorry! Lord Keen!!"
Although not very neat, but also a little momentum. Jia Zhengjin nodded: "Stand still!"
"Wow!!" They quickly stood up straight.
"Look up! Look straight ahead!"
The young people immediately raised their heads high and looked straight at them.
"Put your chest up! Tighten your stomach!"
"Wow!!" Everyone hastily corrected their posture according to the instruction.
"Hold the crossbow in your left hand, and hold the crossbow handle in your right hand! The head of the crossbow is up, and the tail of the crossbow is down!" Jia Zhengjin ordered again loudly.
"Wow!!" Everyone immediately followed suit. After setting up the posture, it really looks like that.
"Very good!" After turning around them, Jia Zhengjin was a little more satisfied, "Keep standing in this position until I say stop! Do you hear me?"
"I heard..." There were sparse replies.
"I asked you if you heard that!!" Jia Zhengjin roared angrily.
"I heard it!!" The team members collectively opened their voices and answered in unison with their loudest voice.
"what happened?"
"Who's yelling?"
"It seems that Master Keen is training recruits?"
"Hey! Isn't that my kid? Oh! This posture is so handsome!"
"Oh~~ My child is very imposing!"
"How will Master Keen train these children?"
"Why haven't you started training yet? Just standing around like this?"
"Hey! Come and see! Come and see..."
All the old and young in the city were attracted by the shouts here, and all put down their work and gathered around. They stood at a distance, curiously observing the procession of recruits.
"Master Keen, do you want to train recruits?" Dolma asked curiously as he came over with a huge steel ax on his back.
"Um!"
"It looks like that!" Dolma took a look, "How are you going to train them?"
"Let them stay like this for a while!" Jia Zhengjin turned around and waved at the villagers, "There's nothing to see, everyone go to work!"
"It's gone!" Jia Zhengjin said, and the villagers immediately dispersed and returned to their jobs.
"Kean, have you started training recruits?" Tina came out of the residential building.
"Hmm! I'm hungry, help me get something to eat." Jia Zhengjin walked over directly.
"Hey? Then what should they do?" Tina pointed at the recruits and asked, "Aren't you going to train?"
"It's training now!" Jia Zhengjin said without turning his head, "Let them stand in a military posture first, and practice their momentum."
"What kind of training is this? Why doesn't your Kobold troops have such training?" Tina asked curiously.
"The kobold troops have that kind of momentum without training, and they are cannon fodder!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Hurry up, I want to eat!"
