The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Instructor Wu thought to himself that he was a man of General Wang Jingzhong, but he couldn't lose face in front of the militia who hadn't even joined the army yet.

He grabbed the long knife from the ground, let out a shout, and slashed it directly at Li Tian's head.

With a bang.

Li Tian swung his spear with one hand.

The knife in Instructor Wu's hand was knocked more than ten meters away and stuck in the ground.

Then,

Li Tian turned the spear around and lightly tapped the martial arts instructor with the shaft.

"Ah!" Instructor Wu felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body was involuntarily thrown backward, flying more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Want to compete again?" Li Tian gently planted his spear on the ground and asked with a smile.

Instructor Wu was now weak and his eyes were seeing stars. He had no strength left to fight. He quickly got up from the ground and cupped his hands in greeting to Li Tian.

"Brother Li's martial arts skills are superb, and I, Wu, am willing to admit defeat. I will entrust the position of instructor to Brother Li."

After saying that, Instructor Wu left without looking back.

He felt his injuries were too severe and he needed to see a military doctor for treatment.

……

"Is this really Li Tian? He actually defeated Instructor Wu!"

"That's not all. He also killed several imperial guards in our village, and we helped bury their bodies."

"I also heard that yesterday he and General Chen went to kill more than a dozen Ironclad soldiers, and also a group of bandits."

"That's great! Brother Li is one of us. With him as the militia instructor, we shouldn't have to suffer anymore."

As soon as Instructor Wu left, the atmosphere immediately became lively, and the focus of the young men's discussion became Li Tian.

Some say he has superb martial arts skills, while others promote his "great achievements," praising Li Tian to the skies, saying he is one of the most outstanding people in the world.

Tie Niu was overjoyed and patted Li Tian hard on the shoulder.

"Brother Li, you're truly remarkable. Few in our Loyal Army can rival Instructor Wu, yet you defeated him today. You've truly brought great honor to General Chen."

"Is that so?" Li Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "According to Brother Tie, this martial arts instructor isn't General Chen's subordinate, so where did he come from?"

"This is a long story. Our Loyal Army is divided into the Left Army and the Right Army, both of which are under the command of the Loyal King. Instructor Wu was under the command of General Wang Jingzhong of the Left Army. He was sent to our Right Army as an instructor because he made a mistake."

"But General Chen said he was sent by General Zuo to monitor us."

"I, Tie Niu, am a rough man, and I don't know if General Chen is right or wrong, but I think Instructor Wu is a pretty good person."

Tie Niu explained the background of the martial arts instructor to Li Tian in detail.

Li Tian was startled.

It turns out that the rebel army is actually quite complex.

They were also divided into left and right armies, which suggested that the two armies did not get along well.

It seems I need to be careful.

"Brother Li, now that you've dismissed Instructor Wu, the rest of the recruits will be your responsibility to train. I, Tie Niu, am not good at training soldiers."

"We're all counting on Brother Li!" Tie Niu said again.

After hearing Tie Niu's words, Li Tian looked up at the three hundred or so new recruits in front of him.

The fellow villagers who were new recruits immediately smiled at Li Tianyu.

"Li Tian, ​​we're from the same place, so we can't train too hard."

"That's right, my wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner. Let's practice for half a day and then call it a day."

"I heard you've married three wives. I suppose you want to go home and be with your first wife!"

"Hahaha!"

……

Amidst the laughter, Li Tian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my training isn't tough, it's just running."

"Haha, Brother Li is so considerate of us. It's just running. We all grew up in the countryside, who doesn't know how to run?"

Upon hearing Li Tian's words, the villagers were overjoyed.

"First run from Rabbit Mountain to the top, then run back to the foot of the mountain."

When Li Tian mentioned the first place, everyone was still laughing.

"It's just Rabbit Mountain, not very high, only a few hundred meters. You can run to the top and then back to the bottom in two hours."

Li Tian smiled slightly and continued, "After running Rabbit Mountain, we'll run Lao Jun Mountain. After Lao Jun Mountain, we'll run Woniu Mountain. After running these three mountains, we can rest for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

After hearing these words, most people could no longer laugh.

Laojun Mountain is much higher than Rabbit Mountain, over 600 meters high, and its terrain is steep, requiring rock climbing in many places to reach the top.

Given everyone's physical condition, it's questionable whether they can even climb Laojun Mountain, let alone climb Woniu Mountain. Isn't that going to kill them?

Besides,

The fact that Li Tian said he would rest for a while after climbing Woniu Mountain, without actually disbanding the group, suggests that he had other plans.

"Li Tian, ​​we're just a militia training camp, not a regular army. Is it really necessary to train so hard?"

"Yes, if you train like this, I'm going to quit the team training."

"Li Tiandu is from the same village, can't you just let us off the hook?"

This training plan immediately drew a wave of opposition.

"It's precisely because we're all from the same village that we need to train more regularly."

Li Tian ignored the dissenting voices, simply said something indifferently, and continued to assign tasks.

"After climbing Woniu Mountain, we will climb Feiying Mountain. After descending Feiying Mountain, we will reach Minghe River. We will swim along Minghe River for ten miles."

"Then I'll run back to our Stone Village. I estimate that the entire training plan can be completed in four hours."

OMG!

The moment this plan was mentioned, the entire training team erupted in chaos.

"Li Tian, ​​are you even human? How could you arrange such tough training for us?"

"This isn't training, it's clearly torturing us. We're not happy about it, we want General Chen to stand up for us."

"Li Tian, ​​we grew up together. How dare you treat us like this? Aren't you afraid I'll get the village chief to beat you up?"

Now, these local militia members not only opposed Li Tian, ​​but also started cursing him.

Faced with this scene of intense emotion, Li Tian did not back down, but simply said calmly.

"It's not that I, Li Tian, ​​want to cause trouble for everyone, but that I want to save everyone's lives."

"Think about it, when we go to the battlefield, what will we face? We will face the iron armor of the imperial court and its cavalry."

"How can we two-legged people outrun a four-legged horse? If I don't train everyone's endurance in peacetime, how will you survive on the battlefield?"

"On the battlefield, only the survivors are kings, and only the last one alive has the right to see their family and wife."

"I, Li Tian, ​​will not teach you how to fight or how to dodge enemy charges now; these things will be taught to you later."

"I just want to improve your physical fitness."

"The more your physical condition improves, the greater your chances of survival will be."

"Do you all understand now?!"

His words silenced the entire room.

The local militia who had just been opposing the movement all lowered their heads.

Li Tian is right.

On the battlefield, fighting fiercely is all about physical strength. If you're too weak, you won't even have the strength to parry a single blow from the enemy.

Li Tian is trying to save everyone's lives.

However, this training plan is a bit too much...

"Rest assured, everyone. I, Li Tian, ​​treat everyone equally. I, Li Tian, ​​will carry out these plans that I have formulated."

"If I, Li Tian, ​​fail to complete the training plan today, I will resign from my position as the team leader, and everyone can choose someone more capable."

Just as everyone was hesitating.

Li Tian then uttered these resounding words.

brush!

Those who had just been questioning Li Tian all raised their heads in unison.

His gaze was brighter than ever before.
