I am not a seventh-generation descendant of Lord Wu'an from the Qin Dynasty.

"Name!"

"Bai Qi, a newly recruited Qin citizen from Xishui Township, Baihu Village, has been drafted into the army!"

"Former Koreans? Wei people?"

"Refugees, people of Xinqin!"

Bai Qi's answer was firm and powerful.

The clerk who had just enlisted looked up at him, his mustache curling upwards.

Do you possess any skills?

"I borrowed Sun Lizheng's hunting bow and used it to hunt field mice and pheasants!"

The clerk nodded in agreement, saying, "Then he knows how to use a bow. He'll be assigned to the archer unit."

Bai Qi bowed deeply.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Go in. Next!"

Bai Qi blinked and stepped into the new recruits' camp located at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains.

At this moment, he was full of confidence.

[Qin Farmer/Soldier: Bai Qi]

Attack: 5+4

Physical Fitness: 5+4

[Mental state: 9+1]

【耕地种田·4级：360/400（耕地+40%，种田+40%）】

【射箭矛刺·1级：0/100（射箭+10%，矛刺+10%）】

……

Bai Qi's life in the recruit camp has begun.

Every morning, I run ten laps around the solid training ground to stretch my muscles and bones.

After breakfast.

Under the guidance of the instructors at the recruit camp, they practiced thrusting with spears in the rising sun.

The time between Si and Wu.

The new recruits each sought out shady spots, forming small groups of three or five.

The straw threshing team is threshing straw, and the straw man archery target team is weaving straw man archery targets.

Bai Qi is an archer, and he is responsible for weaving the targets he will eventually shoot to pieces.

Wait until the beginning of Shen (3-5 PM).

Only then could Bai Qifang reach the bow and arrow, aim at the target, and unleash a torrent of arrows with unbridled abandon.

Archery +1

Archery +1

Archery +1

……

In the blink of an eye.

The monotonous and tedious daily routine of the recruit camp has lasted for over a month.

That day.

The entire camp beat drums in unison.

A Qin general, dressed in full black armor, rode into the recruit camp under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Ten new recruit instructors immediately jogged over to greet them respectfully.

"Greetings, Commander!"

"Hmm, how's the recruit training going?"

"It's worth a try; we dare not delay the general's great cause of suppressing the bandits!"

Are there any outstanding individuals?

"There are three men: one is excellent in both horsemanship and archery, one is heavily armored, and one is a crack shot!"

Bai Qi was frowning slightly as he uttered the words "bandit suppression" from his master when he heard someone shout.

"Sun Cheng, Li Kui, Bai Qi!"

"Here! Here!"

After several days of basic training, Bai Qi's subconscious reactions had been honed.

Upon hearing the sound, he immediately raised his right hand and shouted, "Here!"

"Three men step forward, the rest form ranks!"

The sound of footsteps rustling through the air rang out.

The training ground, which could hold a thousand recruits, was scattered, and three people stepped out from the crowd.

Bai Qi took the opportunity to glance at it as he stepped forward.

Sun Cheng had an arrogant look on his face, Li Kui had dark skin, but he was tall and slender.

At the head of the table, Li Tian's cold, lightning-like gaze swept over the two men, landing only on Bai Qi's face.

His face was slightly pale, his features were youthful, and he was less than seven feet tall. He carried a standard longbow on his shoulder.

"You dare call yourself Bai Qi?"

It's understandable that the lower-ranking officials were unaware of the significance of this name to the Qin army; if they didn't know, they might as well resign and go home to nurse their children.

Bai Qi blinked, then puffed out his chest and said, "My lord, you misunderstand. My surname is Bai, and I am the seventh child in my family, hence the name Bai Qi!"

"Bai Qi?"

Li Tian's brows relaxed, realizing he had misunderstood, and he asked another question with concern.

"Judging from your youthful appearance, and with six older brothers, why have you joined the army?"

"Reporting back to the lord."

Bai Qi shouted, "My family is poor, I've wandered from place to place, my father and brothers starved to death, and I've just entered the Qin state as a citizen, so I've come to answer the call to join the army!"

Orphan? New civilian? Enlisted in the army!

Every single word and phrase made Li Tian frown deeply.

"Are you an adult yet?"

"It's done!" Bai Qi said through gritted teeth, "I married her three months ago, and she's just over a month pregnant!"

"I can't let him take this wife I've finally gotten my hands on with just one wrong word."

"good!"

Li Tian shook his head, but since he had already taken care of everything from beginning to end, he didn't want to deal with the troublesome things that followed.

As usual, he gave the other two a few words of encouragement, then waved his hand and shouted, "New recruit drills, survival of the fittest, begin!"

The thunderous sound of the leather drums boomed.

Sun Chengmian's face flushed with excitement. He leaped onto his horse and galloped back and forth like the wind, drawing his bow and shooting arrows with both hands.

The general clapped his hands and praised, "Excellent, a family tradition of learning!"

His smile was forced, and he seemed to be troubled.

Li Kui, clad in heavy armor, moved with unimpeded speed, hurling stone hammers with effortless skill, a truly impressive sight.

Bai Qi's palms were red from clapping, but the general still had a forced smile and said only a few kind words.

Looking at the target erected in the distance, Bai Qi knew it was his turn.

He walked eighty paces away, then drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

"Go!"

The arrow hit the bullseye.

Bai Qi gave him face, so the other two naturally returned the favor and cheered for him in unison.

With the support of hundreds of thousands of comrades over the past month, the atmosphere was filled with cheers and applause.

Bai Qi drew his bow again and fired, two arrows hitting the target, three arrows completed...

Just as he was about to draw the fourth arrow, he suddenly heard a question from behind him.

"Eighty paces is nothing more than ordinary archers, hardly elite. Would you dare to try a hundred paces?"

Before Bai Qi could speak, Coach Tian, ​​who greatly admired him, leaned down and reminded him.

"My lord, Bai Qichi is still young and weak. He can barely draw a bow with a stone's width and three coins' worth of arrows. But if he is well cared for, he can accumulate strength in three to five years..."

"What's the problem if my bow and arrows are ineffective? Bring me my precious carved bow and six-cent arrows!"

Li Tian looked at Bai Qi and provoked him, "Bai Qi, do you dare to give it a try?"

Instructor Tian looked at Bai Qi and reminded him, "The general's precious carved bow has a strength of two stones. Do not be greedy and draw it to its full extent, lest you injure your muscles and bones. That would be unwise."

Bai Qi pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "A hundred paces, half a bow, I'm willing to give it a try, Master's fine bow."

Before long, the precious carved bow was presented.

Bai Qi drew out a bronze arrow weighing about six qian (approximately 30 grams), stroked the silky smooth surface of the carved bow, and pulled it back twice.

Raise your hand, nock the arrow, aim, release—all in one smooth motion.

"clumsy!"

"It's a hit! It's a hit!"

"Shooting from a hundred paces, every arrow finding the bullseye!"

"Bai Qizi, mighty!"

Bai Qi loosened his grip, shook his arms, and drew his bow again.

Fifth arrow, hit!

Sixth arrow, hit!

Seventh arrow, hit!

The entire drill ground, which housed a thousand people, fell into complete silence.

Bai Qi relaxed his weary palms, sighed, and turned to present the precious carved bow with both hands.

"General, Bai Qi, your skills end here!"

"Good, very good!"

Looking at this young man with the same name and pronunciation, Li Tian felt as if he saw the young war god he had once been, just starting out in his prime, and he was in a great mood.

He may not be knowledgeable in military affairs, but he can learn from the Marquis of Rang in the past, discover talented generals, and rely on military matters.

"From today onwards, this pair of precious carved bows and six-qian arrows are yours."

"Thank you, General!"

In high spirits, Li Tian seized the opportunity to announce, "From today onwards, the three of you will be the acting centurions of this recruit camp."

"Your men are to be appointed and dismissed at your discretion; simply state your names. Any of you who disagree may challenge me today; the victor will have no regrets!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Bai Qi turned and looked at his hundreds of comrades, remaining silent for a few breaths, seeing that no one stepped forward to challenge him.

He stepped forward, raised his precious eagle bow, and shouted to the sky, "Fives form a squad, two squads form a team, and you decide for yourselves. The strongest will win!"

"If you are dissatisfied, you may leave your unit and become a personal guard under the command of the White Guard!"

"Yes, General!"

……

"My lord, this is the background of Bai Qizi; he is undoubtedly an orphan from Xinmin!"

"That's even more unreasonable. How could a poor, weak man like him have the experience and knowledge gained from the training grounds?"

Li Tian glanced at it quickly, then immediately pulled out a scroll of letters that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to his attendant.

"A urgent message, delivered to Xianyang at breakneck speed!"
