Chapter 475: Where Were The Talents? (VI)

Having been mocked by her, the recruits were immensely angered until their faces turned black. Lifting their hands, they wished to seize her and beat her to death.

She curled the side of her lips into. She got her footing wrong, but she still managed to avoid them by going sideways. With her left hand, she grabbed the critical part of his wrist and violently pulled him downward with support from her knees.

A shout of excruciating pain boomed loud and clear. She positioned her body, lifted her legs, and kicked him into the crowd. Concurrently, some new soldiers were also pushed and fell.

With a swift movement of the wooden spear in her hands, she went around to evade. She grabbed someone’s wrist easily and threw him flat on the ground.

The wooden spear sprung forward hitting her enemies who rushed forward like bees out of their comb. Although it was a light wooden spear, it felt like they were being hit with a heavy stone. Their bodies uncontrollably stepped back and leaned backward, making them lose their center of gravity. The wooden spear bounced back following the flow of energy.

Jiang Pengji consecutively striked with her spear. They couldn’t react in time, so it hit their calves. This caused them to temporarily feel their muscles go numb, so they were unable to stand up.

With her agility their surprise attack from behind missed hitting her. It was as if there were eyes behind her. Her long spear moved. She fought with a sweeping motion from behind, almost slapping them in the face and leaving behind a reddish mark.

Bang! Bang!

One voice shouted amid the chaos, “Grab the wooden spear from this woman’s hand!”

Without the weapon in hand, could she still be so powerful?

Liyun heard this and helplessly covered his face with his hands. He thought that even if they wished for death, this was not the way. He was aware of how skillful his Langjun was with her spear techniques. Some of them were even taught by him.

He was certain that Langjun had never learned martial arts involving spears in the past. At most, she only knew it superficially. By only relying on her fighting abilities, she could use any weapon available to her advantage. Be it a spear or a war halberd, they were just weapons to injure others. There was no difference to her.

The wooden spear actually hindered the unleashing of her true potential. Without it, the soldiers would just surrender more decisively because their lord had natural god-like powers. She was strong enough to lift a cauldron or even chase a tiger across mountain streams.

Liyun thought, Did they really think a skilled person uses a weapon to boost their prowess? It’s possible that they imposed inhibitions on themselves. They all narrowed in on her wooden spear, so she might as well abandon it and fight directly with her hands.

He raised his hands to pinch his brows and stepped back to avoid the fighting arena. He didn’t have the heart to see the battle turning in favor of one.

The lance corporal coaches seemed to be transported back in time when they were youths. They were fortunate enough to be abused as such by their lord, so their hearts felt distressed.

“Wu!”

She hit the recruit in the nose. His nose bridge immediately became crooked. With one hand, Jiang Pengji grabbed his collar. With the other, she caught the belt around his waist, lifted him up easily, and threw him off in the presence of the others.

Tsk, tsk, if these new soldiers are not given some discipline, they’ll probably become rebellious!

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Except for the monotonous sound of her fists and legs aiming straight for their bodies, the soldiers’ groaning sound was endless.

“Your highness, please let me off! I won’t dare to do this again!”

“Your highness, please spare my life! Your servant will never associate the female camp with prostitution again. Even if someone beats me to death, I will keep mum, have mercy on me.”

“Wu, wu, wu… Please stop hitting me… Your highness, I will call you my ancestor. Please don’t hit me anymore!”

“Wu, wu, wu, I must have been blind and sprouted nonsense… Your highness, please treat what I said as fart…”

Having been beaten into a pulp, they were in excruciating pain. One by one they cried desperately for forgiveness. Yet, what use was there to beg for mercy now? If asking for forgiveness was effective, what use was her fist!

“You’ve just said something you shouldn’t, now swallow them back!” Jiang Pengji laughed coldly and sneered. “Based on your abilities, do you dare to claim a share in the action with the women troops? At the battlefield, are both your legs able to stand straight and charge forward? I will reiterate, during wars, there are only the living and the dead. There’s no division of male or females. The women troops can also be rewarded for their contributions and conquer the lands. As for you, if you go with the flow, you’re as mad as dogs. If you decide to go against the flow, you’ll betray your comrades. Your legs can run faster than anyone! At this moment, your guts and pride, with your boasting about your courage here, is all empty talk!”

Some of the new soldiers were in excruciating pain. Their tears flowed freely. They laid flat on the ground and couldn’t stand up. They were completely clueless as to how she beat people up. Wherever they were hit by her, that spot felt paralyzed.

She was but a maiden, yet she almost took down the entire recruit camp singlehandedly. Their dignity as men was completely lost, even up to their ancestor’s generation.

Without even looking at them, Jiang Pengji said to the coaches, “Did you see that?”

The few coaches instantly became nervous. They straightened their postures. Their backs were as straight as a pole.

They replied in unison, “We have seen clearly.”

Jiang Pengji wore a stern expression. Her eyes were incomparably sharp as she said, “These men don’t only lack in character but also in training. I believe it’s because the training for new recruits is too slack, giving them free time and energy to debate and be busybodies. In the future, all training will increase exponentially, and they are to be trained until they cannot stand up.

After hearing this, they all felt their hair follicles go numb. Isn’t the training enough?

Feeling secretly terrified, the soldiers who were violently pushed thought of finding an opportunity to escape.

She added, “If anyone escapes camp without a valid reason, he will be dealt with as an escapee based on military rules.”

In this army camp set up by her, the internal rules were strictly enforced. Jiang Pengji understood very well that ensuring strict compliance to rules was important to soldiers. It became more apparent in the absence of laws, when things would run amok.

Even if they were illiterate, they were forced to understand some military rules. In their test, they had to memorize them fluently.

There weren’t many rules. One rule was regarding soldiers who escaped. It stated that they would be killed without pardon.

She smirked coldly. “Don’t think that all is well after escaping. You can escape for a moment but not forever.”

These new soldiers were recruited from Xiangyang district. Their foundations were local, so they didn’t have anywhere else to escape.

As she was searching for the wooden spear, she saw the black-faced strongman snatching the weapon back. She asked, “What is your name?”

He answered, “It is Dian Yan.”

For a child from a poor family, having a decent name was good enough. To possess a courtesy name, such an elegant belonging was almost non-existent.

Jiang Pengji picked up her wooden spear. She faced him and said, “Dian Yan? I will remember that name.”

She got some lance corporal coaches to clean up the camp while she continued to wear a sunken face. Just beating up the new recruits was not enough. She also had to publicize this news officially to clarify the rumors and misunderstandings regarding women troops.

Thinking of this, she missed Jiang Nongqin even more. If she was placed in command of the women’s camp, there would be fewer troubles.

She went to change out of a woman’s armor into one for males before turning on the live streaming.
