Chapter 233 Working Together in Harmony
Upon hearing these violent words, Xu Ning and "Ji" looked in that direction together.
"Tiger" emerged arrogantly from a group of burly men with similar expressions and made a friendly gesture towards "Halberd".
"Not a single one of you can fight? Dare to come and try your hand?"
I laughed when I saw that the character “戟” was actually a tiger.
"Are you afraid of a brute like you? Take it!"
"Halberd" casually handed the halberd in his hand to the soldier beside him, walked up to "Tiger" with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Since when did you come to the mistake of thinking you could fight me one-on-one..."
Before he could even utter the word "觉" (jué), "戟" (jǐ) felt a dull thud on the back of his head, and he staggered forward and fell to the ground.
Then three feet slammed into his back.
"Pretend! You're such a good pretender! You've forgotten the beating you got back then, haven't you? Let me teach you a lesson." A delicate female voice shouted first.
"He only got a few beatings; it seems like I was the one who got the most beatings back then," the owner of the other foot said with resentment.
"Consider this revenge! Give me more power!" The woman's voice showed no mercy whatsoever.
Xu Ning, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
Well, just to get the equipment they have, they all know to play the emotional card, sending their old acquaintances.
"That's good enough. After all, we're leaders now, so we have to save face for each other."
Xu Ning rushed over and pulled "Tooth" away from the kicking motion. The girl was incredibly ruthless; the blow to the back of her head was from the handle of her short blade.
When "Li," who had been beaten the most back then, saw Xu Ning coming to mediate, he quickly stopped and helped "Ji" up.
The tiger, still not satisfied, kicked the halberd twice more from behind.
"Ji" stood up, shook his head, ignored the other two, rubbed his head and yelled at "Ya": "I knew it was you who started it after the first hit. What good does it do you to embarrass me in front of my subordinates!"
"Tooth" said smugly, "There are many benefits."
Seeing that the two sides would never stop arguing, Xu Ning raised his hand to stop the argument.
"Alright, it's obvious you're not on the same page. Separate the people you each brought."
At a command from the men, the dark mass of soldiers immediately parted to the left and right, leaving a large open space in the middle.
Xu Ning glanced at it and thought, "Good heavens, they're completely distinct."
On the left are the thousand soldiers brought by "Ji". All of them are almost the same height and build, with standard posture and neat formation. They are clearly regular soldiers from a certain Liyue unit.
On the right, they were roughly divided into three teams, each led by "Tiger," "Tooth," and "Stand." Each team had about three hundred people, standing in random positions. They included men and women, and varied in weight, height, and even age.
"I don't care what your superiors told me. I only have about twenty spears right now, which is not enough for you to distribute. But I won't show favoritism. Each of your teams will give me twelve people, and the rest of you can go back to where you came from."
"If you have any more weapons, we will notify you to send more people."
Xu Ning knew in his heart that the bigwigs in the military definitely knew that he didn't have much in his hands, but they still sent so many people just to make a statement to him.
This shows that the Chiiwa military attaches great importance to the weapons in its possession and is willing to take as many as it has.
However, I'm not stupid enough to stay closed up all day making weapons for them. If they want them, I'll just ask the Emperor. With a wave of his hand, a few Lonely Cloud Pavilions will fall down, enough to make tens of thousands of spears!
Xu Ning stood there lost in thought for a while. After most of the people around him had left, he took out the Thousand Rock Spears that he had stored in his cave and placed them on the ground.
"Let's stick to the original formation, with twelve people in each team, and then divide each team into three groups. Each person took a long spear and placed it in front of them, then picked up the spear in turn and felt the change in the weight of the spear."
In a short while, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of every soldier.
As more and more people take up the spear, the weight of the spear in their hands will become lighter, and gradually it will feel less heavy.
"very good."
Seeing that they had all immediately grasped the key point, Xu Ning explained seriously, "This peculiar phenomenon is called 'Unity.' I called you all here to test its effects. I want to know under what circumstances it can achieve the greatest results."
"From this day forward, I will never leave my gun behind. In daily training, I have only one requirement: to be of one mind and one heart and work together."
"Ideally, you should all be as one, moving in unison, sitting and lying down, with no difference in your thoughts and ideas."
Xu Ning looked at the twenty-four people in front of him and added a sentence.
"Anyone who can't do it shouldn't be forced. Just quit immediately. I guarantee you won't be blamed when you go back. Make sure to unleash your combat power as quickly as possible."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he first looked at the Thousand Rock Army brought by "Halberd" on the left.
The young soldier at the head of the group shouted to his comrades, "Hold your guns and stand guard!"
All the soldiers immediately stood in a line with exactly the same pace, raising, holding, and putting away their guns in one smooth motion, without any noise or unnecessary movements, demonstrating the strong discipline they displayed in their daily training.
Xu Ning was very satisfied with the quality of the Qianyan Army he saw before him.
When I first went to Uncle Tian to talk about the Qianyan Army, I was indeed a little angry.
Think about the guys you see every day: lazy slackers, hungry gluttons, small business owners, arrogant officials, gossipy babblers, tea drinkers, fortune tellers, cat and dog walkers, even those who lost their weapons while on duty. Can all of them be called the Thousand Rock Army?
Xu Ning felt he wasn't qualified enough to direct traffic at the port.
Only these well-trained soldiers can live up to the name of the Thousand Rock Army.
Standing next to Xu Ning, "Ji" clearly saw Xu Ning's appreciation and gave "Ya" next to him a triumphant wink.
"Teeth" merely gave a cold laugh.
Meanwhile, the twelve people selected by the three members of "Teeth" also saw the performance of the opposing team.
"Hey, the guy over there looks pretty tough. We brothers can't let our big sister down. I'll set an example, guys, no objections?"
The others all laughed together, "Come on!"
The twelve men planted their spears together in the ground and retreated a dozen or so steps.
The person who spoke first shook his hands and feet, and snorted, "Let's go."
The man casually walked toward the spear, and the people around him immediately followed suit one after another.
Xu Ning was startled the moment he saw the man move.
Although the person at the front didn't have the upright posture of the soldiers opposite him, what was terrifying was that once he started moving, everyone around him seemed to take on his appearance, not only in their walking posture and the range of their arm swings, but even in the expressions on their faces.
After taking a dozen or so steps, the twelve people had completely merged into one, reaching out together to draw their Thousand Rock Spears, raising them to their shoulders, looking at each other, and laughing in unison, "How about that?"
This bizarre scene startled even the Thousand Rock soldiers on the other side.
