Chapter 162 Family Letter
Chapter 162 Family Letter
Originally, as the deputy general, Zhang Yan was in charge of all the new recruits in the battalion.
Now he had already announced that Jiang Yue would be made the centurion, so at this moment, he let go and only told Jiang Yue one sentence,
"Continue to train them in archery. Remember, your goal is to make sure nothing goes wrong. I want to see results in a month."
He had already taught the essentials of archery, so there was no problem at all in letting Jiang Yue lead the archery practice.
After saying this, he added, "You can disperse the training and select a few centurions for you to command."
"Yes." Jiang Yue accepted the order.
After Zhang Yan left, Jiang Yue said to the soldiers in front of him in a deep voice:
"Archery is divided into two types: one is fixed target training, and the other is live target training. How far can you do now?"
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, there was laughter among the crowd.
"Captain, don't forget, the last time the enemy robbed the food, they gave you guys a practice run. Now anyone can be our living target."
The speaker was Xu Qiang, the most arrogant person in the team.
After saying that, he drew out the bow and arrow from behind him and shot it out.
It was only a hair's breadth away from the bull's eye, which brought cheers.
"I used to be a hunter." He raised his head proudly.
"That's nothing." Xue Wen stood up. He had learned archery in a martial arts school.
He aimed at the target in the distance and shot the arrow, hitting the center of the bull's eye, again drawing waves of praise.
But he is still not very good at moving targets.
The others also picked up their bows and arrows and demonstrated them.
There are not many people who are good at archery, but it is not that there are none.
Jiang Yue looked at it, it was a mess, and shook her head secretly.
Finally, after she picked up her bow and arrow and shot an arrow through the swaying branches in the distance,
The soldiers' display came to an abrupt halt.
They discovered for the second time that the captain was unusual.
Those soldiers who had come forward to laugh at the man's young age and called him a greenhorn shut their mouths now and no one dared to make another joke.
"The captain is still the best!" Xue Wen praised from the bottom of his heart, and Wu Fei nodded immediately.
"Now, my requirements are not high, just be the same as me, Xu Qiang, can you do it?"
Jiang Yue spoke, and everyone stared at the tree branches in the distance.
Isn’t this too demanding?
They were about a hundred steps away. They shook their heads secretly, and felt uneasy when they saw Jiang Yue's determined eyes.
Xu Qiang even shook his head, he couldn't.
"Don't worry, captain. One day, we will definitely do it!" Song Jie affirmed, picked up the bow and arrow and shot towards the distant tree branch, but the long arrow fell halfway.
Laughter rang out, Song Jie's face flushed, and he shot another arrow. This time there was some improvement, but it was still far from Jiang Yue's requirements.
"Don't be discouraged. Training is not something that can be done overnight." Jiang Yue encouraged everyone and everyone listened carefully.
Finally, take the bow and arrow and start training at the target.
First practice the basics, then talk about live targets, and then talk about hitting the target from a hundred paces away.
Jiang Yue looked up at each soldier and began to give orders.
"Hold the bow, draw the string..."
"Wu Fei, lower your left arm and rotate your elbow inward."
"Song Jie, the tiger's mouth is fixed."
"Wu Ding, don't breathe too fast, breathe slowly and steadily..."
"Draw the bow and unstring it."
After the last words were spoken, those who hit the target looked relieved, while those who missed the target hoped that they could do better with their next arrow.
"Relax your whole body and wind up again."
Jiang Yue continued to give orders. She walked back and forth, and wherever she passed, if she found that the soldiers did something wrong, she would step forward to correct them.
After Jiang Yue's further meticulous command, the soldiers realized that much of their previous training was not up to standard.
Jiang Yue’s being valued was not due to luck.
In recent days, Jiang Yue has been practicing archery with his eighty soldiers after endurance training. The accuracy of the soldiers has been improving day by day.
Jiang Yue saw this and decided to train an elite special forces team.
A few days later, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, good news came from the army.
All soldiers can take a day off.
Jiang Yue and others did not participate in the big battle, but their small battle experience was thrilling. Now that they have been training for a long time, they can finally take a rest. Of course they are happy.
The night before the day off, Jiang Yue went to borrow paper and pen from military doctor Yang Ziqian, and began to write:
"Dear Grandma and all the sisters:
Since Xiaoliu left home to join the army, he was unable to say goodbye to his grandmother and kowtowed to apologize.
Xiaoliu is doing fine. I hope grandma and sisters don't worry about me.
Now, I am far away from my family. Although the time has not been long, I miss chatting with you around the fire. I yearn for it, but I can't help it. I can only express my feelings through letters, wishing grandma and all the sisters good health forever.
In the military camp, we are friendly with our comrades. Although there are occasional difficulties and obstacles, the daily training and the sound of the drums of war are urging us to move forward. We, the soldiers, shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. Although it is hard, we enjoy it and have no regrets.
Grandma is old and your grandson is away from home. I feel guilty for not being able to serve you. I hope you can take good care of yourself..."
Jiang Yue had a lot to say, and in the end she kept rambling on and on, filling up the paper.
Afterwards, he wrote letters to both masters.
Just as she put down her pen, Wu Fei and Xue Wen came to look for her.
After training in the military camp for a while, the three of them were much more energetic than before.
Wu Fei, in particular, lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at the moment, he still looked fat.
Seeing Jiang Yue put down her pen, he wanted to see the contents of the letter, but he saw that Jiang Yue had already folded it and put it in her arms. At that moment, the two decided to write a letter home as well.
Wu Fei wrote the letter home himself. Xue Wen was illiterate, so he asked Jiang Yue to help him write it.
Jiang Yue agreed.
Knowing that they had a day off, all the soldiers tonight were a little excited and were already discussing what to do tomorrow.
So, Wu Fei suggested: "Jiang Yue, let's go to Linzhou City to play tomorrow."
Xue Wen also said: "Go ahead, go out and get some fresh air."
Jiang Yue thought, Linzhou has long been an empty city, what will happen if she goes there?
I wanted to buy something, but I couldn't buy it at all.
But, “It’s good to go and take a look.”
So, the next morning,
A few people entrusted the letters from home to the soldiers traveling back and forth at the post station, then left the barracks in plain clothes.
