When Li Hao arrived at the camp in the western suburbs, he found that the military camp was different from what he imagined. The entire camp continued to be like a small city.

At that time, the guards of the camp saw that Gu Tingye was leading the people, but they did not stop him and let him go directly.

As the carriage drove into the camp, Li Hao looked outside through the window, wanting to see what the elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty looked like.

As a result, I was disappointed when I saw it. The soldiers who could see were extremely lazy, without morale, and had no energy at all.

After seeing Li Hao's expression, Gu Tingye said, "Is it different from what you imagined? The first time I came here is like you. I have heard of the Imperial Guard Slack before, but in fact it seems to be shocking."

Li Hao asked, "We are all under our command. It seems a bit unreliable."

Gu Tingye said: "You have to go and see this yourself, and you will know."

Li Hao said angrily: "You'll keep me in hiding."

After saying that, seeing Gu Tingye not replying to his words, Li Hao didn't want to look outside anymore, so he began to close his eyes and rest.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped and Li Hao opened his eyes and looked at Gu Tingye to tell if he had arrived at the place.

Gu Tingye turned around and got out of the car. Li Hao hurriedly followed and waited to get off the carriage and looked in the direction Gu Tingye was walking. He saw that this was an independent barracks, separated from other areas by wooden walls.

After entering the barracks, I could see the soldiers in the barracks training. Although they were not very neat, they were still much better than those outside. Li Hao was very pleased to see them.

Then Gu Tingye introduced: "There are all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Camp Army in this barracks. They are equipped with 2,500 people. They are all brave men from the Fourth Army. After simple training these days, they are still considered to be aware of it.

The past."

As he said that, he took Li Hao to visit the surrounding area until he arrived at the archery field. When Li Hao saw someone training, he asked, "What is the standard score here?"

Gu Tingye said: "Anyone who shoots a bow with 60 steps, twelve arrows, eight arrows are the first level, six arrows are the second level, and four arrows are the third level.

Any crossbow shot with 120 steps, 12 arrows, 10 arrows are the first level, 8 arrows are the second level, and 6 arrows are the third level.

The crossbowmen selected here are at least second-class or above."

Li Hao roughly changed it in his mind, which means that the effective range of the archer is 90 meters, and the effective range of the crossbower is 180 meters, which sounds good.

Li Hao was not very interested in the data of ordinary crossbows, but Li Hao was very interested in the Divine Arm Crossbow, a powerful weapon that was rumored to later generations, so he asked indirectly about the most powerful crossbows now.

Gu Tingye replied: "If you talk about power, it is naturally the Eight Ox Crossbow. It can shoot a huge thunderous step, and it will be destroyed when it touches it. However, its operation is complicated and it can be used only by siege and defending the city.

We didn’t have it.”

After introducing the Eight Niu Crossbow, he stopped. Seeing this, Li Hao guessed that the Divine Arm Crossbow must have not been developed at this time, otherwise Gu Tingye would not have mentioned it.

Then Li Hao watched the soldiers practice arrows and found that as Gu Tingye said, the probability of getting on the target is very high. It can be seen that it was really a matter of effort to select these people.

While the two were watching, a general came over and Gu Tingye introduced to Li Hao: "This is Xu Ning, the deputy commander of the army, and the court sent to assist you." Then he whispered: "He is

The Gu family in the army, my mother and brother can’t even insert their hands, so I can trust them.”

After Xu Ning approached, Gu Tingye introduced to Xu Ning: "This is the commander Li, and I will accompany Lord Li to take a look here today."

Seeing this, Xu Ning hurriedly bowed. After all, this was a civil servant and a direct boss, and he had a good relationship with Gu's Erlang, so he could not be neglected.

However, Li Hao was still very polite to Xu Ning. After all, Li Hao did not despise military generals so much. As long as his subordinates could help him make contributions to his work, Li Hao would definitely not be stingy.

After helping Xu Ning up, he asked, "I see that all the soldiers are elite, but I don't know how long it will take to drive after those noble children enter the army."

After hearing this, Xu Ning hesitated and said, "It depends on the specific situation, because the nobles come in to fill the position of officers, and they always need to get started."

After hearing this, Li Hao said, "I understand what you mean, but don't worry, I don't like to blame others. When they come in, if they don't obey the rules, you will come to me directly. Gu Tingye and I will find a way.

It will make you embarrassed.”

Xu Ning was relieved after hearing this, at least he didn't have to worry about becoming a stubborn person.

Then he said he wanted to take Li Hao around the camp, but Li Hao was mainly interested in the archery field.

You should know that Li Hao practices bows and crossbows themselves, but they are forbidden to collect them privately. Li Hao has never used them yet. This time he looks a little eager to try it out.

After seeing it, Gu Tingye said, "Since you are here, Brother Li might as well try the power of this yellow crossbow."

After hearing this, Li Hao said, "This is not very good." But his steps involuntarily walked towards the crossbowman.

Xu Ning and Gu Tingye watched and followed, and then Xu Ning ordered someone to take a crossbow and hand it to Li Hao.

After Li Hao got it, he aimed and shot at the target, but he was a little far away and flew high above the target.

Li Hao looked a little embarrassed, Gu Tingye said: "Brother Li is using it for the first time after all, so it is reasonable to inaccurate ejaculation. Let's try again."

Seeing this, Xu Ning hurriedly asked someone to help Li Hao get the arrow. In this way, Li Hao shot fifteen arrows in a row before getting on the target two arrows, which made Li Hao's face look completely ugly.

Xu Ning next to him did not react, but Gu Tingye couldn't stop smiling.

Seeing this, Li Hao said, "The crossbow is not my strength, why not change it to a bow and arrow and bring me a stone bow."

Seeing this, Xu Ning was afraid that Li Hao would be sacrificing his face now, so he advised: "Why don't you forget this time, let's go and see the formation training. Now the Imperial Camp Army headquarters can practice multiple formations and marching.

The middle-changing formation is here, Lord Li can inspect it."

Seeing this, Gu Tingye also persuaded Li Hao.

But Li Hao wanted to save face at this time. Although he was a civil servant and had no ability to shoot archery, no one really cared, but Li Hao didn't want Gu Tingye to make a joke.

So he asked Xu Ning to get a bow, at least he wanted to save face.

After hearing this, Xu Ning didn't know what to do, so he looked at Gu Tingye. Seeing that Gu Tingye also waved his hand to ask him to get it, Xu Ning ordered him to continue.

After the bow and arrow came, Li Hao gently pulled it a few times and familiarized himself with the bow. Then he went all ten arrows in a row, and all of them were on the target. Now Li Hao felt relieved, which was a success in winning the honor.

So he said, "This stone bow is not very easy to use. I will try it with a one-shot and two-dozen bow next time."

After seeing it, Gu Tingye said in surprise: "Your bow is really good. If it is a lot stronger than an ordinary soldier in the field," and then he deliberately paused and waited for Li Hao to be happy.

Then he continued, "It's just that you're aiming. You probably haven't practiced riding and shooting. If you ride on a horse and shoot archery while you're marching, you probably won't be able to do it."

After hearing this, Li Hao said angrily: "I know you can do it, okay, why bother showing off to me here."

Gu Tingye laughed, while Xu Ning didn't say a word, as if he couldn't hear anything.

Next, Li Hao had no intention of shopping, so he and Gu Tingye left the western suburb camp.

Three days later, the game finally began, and the plaque that the imperial gift had been hung in the main hall of the stadium.

All the participating families came on this day. Originally, Li Hao invited Ouyang Xiu to host the opening ceremony, but now the league has already started, and the participating families are all Lords, so it would be a bit bad to invite civil servants to host the event.

Li Hao asked Gu Tingye to invite the Marquis of Ningyuan, but Gu Tingye said that Gu Yankai would not listen to him and did not want to say anything.

Li Hao asked Gu Tingye to try it out. After all, most of the nobles who can invite have their children and nephews participating in the competition. If you invite them, you will easily favor one or the other.

Moreover, Li Hao didn't think Gu Yan refused to attend the meeting. After all, he really didn't like Gu Tingye. As long as Gu Tingye was doing a serious business, he still supported him, but Gu Tingye himself didn't feel it.

As Li Hao thought, after Gu Tingye went to explain the situation, Gu Yankai agreed to host the opening ceremony.
