The military system of the Wei Dynasty was very detailed, and not all commanders were generals.
The eight military positions, namely squad leader, platoon leader, team leader, captain, commander, military commander, military commander, captain, and colonel, form the framework for military management.
Those below the rank of Dubo were enrolled as soldiers in the military household, those above the rank of Dubo were enrolled as officials, and those above the rank of Xiaowei were generals and reported matters to the court.
It can be said that only by becoming a colonel can one be considered integrated into the ruling class of the Wei Dynasty, otherwise one is just a subordinate who follows orders.
But this does not mean that the position of captain is not valuable. At least in the military, the captain has the power of life and death over a battalion.
Zhou Yuan did not expect that Captain Li of the Shesheng Camp would meet him in person, so that the soldiers in the Wuwei Camp all thought he was a hidden son of a noble family.
"Try this bow and shoot any arrow you want. Let me see your endurance."
"promise."
Bang, bang, bang, the sounds of heavy impact echoed in the training ground.
Although Zhou Yuan's archery skills were not up to standard, they did not cause arrows to fly randomly. At least he could ensure that the arrows fell in the same area.
After shooting thirty arrows, he felt a little tired despite his physical strength, and his arms began to feel sore, swollen and burning.
"Well, you are truly born with a divine arm. Your bow shot was a little rough and rough today, but with training it won't be so strenuous.
I value your talent and would like to transfer you to the Shesheng Camp as a squad leader. If you can demonstrate your prowess in martial arts, I will definitely find you an official position."
"Thank you for your care, Captain. Yuan is very grateful."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Shesheng Camp is different from Wuwei Camp. Wuwei is noble, Shesheng is humble.
The Wuwei Camp is the most elite of the entire Jing'an Army. Its soldiers are brave in fighting and good at shooting, and most of them are led by sons of aristocratic families.
The treatment in the Shesheng Battalion is somewhat different from that in the Wuwei Battalion, but promotions are easier. You need to consider the pros and cons yourself."
"Why would I think so? Since the captain has promised me a military post and official position, I am willing to serve in the Shesheng Camp."
For Zhou Yuan, staying in the Wuwei Camp was indeed good, but joining the Shesheng Camp and being able to speak to the commander-in-chief was undoubtedly a huge improvement in his status.
With the appreciation of his leaders and the skill support on the attribute panel, he will have a stable path for promotion.
"Okay, come with me, I'll find you a new coach."
The Wuwei Camp is in the east of the city and the Shesheng Camp is in the west of the city. Although Captain Li said that there is a gap between the Shesheng Camp and the Wuwei Camp, that obviously refers to the treatment of soldiers, not officers.
In the new military camp, Zhou Yuan not only got a bigger room and more nutritious food, but also skipped the selection stage and directly obtained an official military badge and armor.
The armor of the Shesheng Battalion was the relatively flexible ring arm armor, rather than the iron lamellar armor commonly used by the Wuwei Battalion.
In terms of defense, lamellar armor is more comprehensive and heavier, while vambraces are heavier and extend the arms, and are also lighter.
After receiving the armor, Zhou Yuan began to receive systematic training. Under the guidance of a skilled archer, he quickly acquired new skills.
You have mastered the art of archery by mastering the bowstring.
【String Control, Lv1 (1/10)】
【Effect: Combines energy and strength, locks the enemy with concentration, enhances body coordination, and strengthens mental focus】
The string-controlling skills transformed from systematic teaching are more comprehensive than the spear-stabbing and force-splitting skills that Zhou Yuan figured out on his own. They not only have an attack effect, but also come with a strengthening effect.
With professional guidance and adequate food, Zhou Yuan began to practice martial arts like crazy.
The nourishing skill helps him recover health, and the recuperation skill relieves his negative status.
With the support of these two restorative skills, a hardworking genius who makes people's scalps tingle appeared in Shesheng Camp.
Every day he would start practicing archery at daybreak, and he would still be practicing when it got dark, as if he had arms of iron and would never get tired.
This brutal training mode is considered self-mutilation by the camp coaches.
He tried to stop him many times but failed to change Zhou Yuan's rhythm of martial arts training.
Later, after discovering that this kid was full of energy and not weak at all every day, he acquiesced to Zhou Yuan's almost self-harming training method.
This caused great trouble for the ordinary soldiers of Shesheng Camp, making them collectively fall into the illusion that they had neither talent nor hard work.
When they were ready to learn Zhou Yuan, their arms were so tired after just one day that they couldn't lift them.
In the end, let alone increasing the training effect, it is even difficult to maintain normal training the next day.
It was not until this moment that they realized that hard work actually has a threshold and even depends on physical talent.
As a result, many soldiers who were full of fighting spirit suddenly became discouraged and depressed.
Not only are they not as good as the children of aristocratic families in terms of birth, but no matter how hard they try, they also have to rely on talent. Since fate decides everything, why do they still work hard to practice martial arts?
When the first group of soldiers lay down, the camp coach quickly discovered the problem.
"Captain, Zhou Yuan is not suitable for archery practice in the training grounds. His presence will dampen the morale of the other soldiers."
"Oh, what happened? Has his archery skills improved so much that he surpassed the veteran soldiers in the camp?"
"It's more than surpassing him, that guy shoots with both hands, wherever he points, he shoots.
The key is that he used a three-stone hard bow, which was so powerful that he could have shot through the target if he was close enough to it."
"He's a truly promising talent. If he can surpass us, then we'll surpass him. It's not like we haven't had talented shooters in our camp before.
Soldiers whose fighting spirit has been damaged should strive to pursue their goals as long as they have the will, rather than lamenting and complaining."
Li Fu, the captain of the Shesheng Camp, has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
The premise of hard pursuit is that there is room for hard work, but Zhou Yuan compressed the rest time to the extreme, and ordinary soldiers did not even have the qualifications to work hard in front of him.
“Captain, I can’t work any harder. Zhou Yuan has strong arms and can train for six hours every day.
Even if the other soldiers broke their arms, they couldn't catch up with his training volume."
"Six hours? Is his endurance so strong?"
“Well, not only does he have great endurance, but his recovery ability is also terrifyingly strong.
After examining him, the Chinese medicine practitioner in the camp said, "The boy is as strong as a bear and has natural muscles and bones."
Captain Li Fu was very satisfied with the coach's words. He was right. The boy was indeed born with superb arms.
"I've found a treasure. Zhou Yuan doesn't have any soldiers under his command yet."
"Captain, think twice. Assigning him soldiers is probably not training them, but rather exhausting them.
If he demands the soldiers to do what he wants, we will lose a group of elite archers in a few days."
"No, I mean not to give him soldiers anymore, but to give him a promotion and let him join the Divine Arm Corps."
“Is this appropriate? He’s still a newcomer.
Isn't it too soon to transfer him to the Divine Arm Team and into the secret realm to fight? "
"If he thinks everyone in the camp is mediocre and is above him, he will inevitably feel alienated.
Let's transfer him to the team. Even the best sword needs to be sharpened by killing enemies and drawing blood. Otherwise, it is just a gorgeous decoration."
"Yes, I'll go back and talk to him in detail."
Zhou Yuan is only a teenager on the surface, without the rebelliousness and pride of a teenager.
But Captain Li didn't know this. In his eyes, Zhou Yuan was a piece of unpolished jade that needed to be polished carefully but not put too much pressure on him.
Therefore, he decided to transfer Zhou Yuan into the team to conquer the secret realm, so that he could see the vastness and wonder of the world and realize his own insignificance.
"A perfect shot, a three-stone hard bow. Let's see if I can kill the enemy. Don't let me down."
