Daxing Northwest Gate, Jialan Pass terrain by the mountains and rivers, guarding the north and south canyon areas, south by a gorge river valley, north of the broken rock stretching for hundreds of miles, the terrain is natural, both offensive and defensive.

The 300,000 troops in the Guannai are not all in one city, and the five cities in the Guannai, each with 50,000 to 100,000 soldiers and horses, are distributed in multiple lines of defense, which is presided over by Yuan Xiu after the establishment of the Northwest Army. Each city pass, each city is composed of the inner city, the urn city, the Luo city, the moat and the peak, there is a city in the city, there is a moat outside the city, the heavy city is defended, it is extremely difficult to break through, and the military defense system is extremely tight!

The world's No. 1 Xiongguan is not in vain.

The new army is stationed in the fifth city of Shiguan, with barracks inside, and a school field outside, Dusk Qing got out of the barracks, walked on the road, looked at the layout of the inner city defense, and secretly admired Yuan Xiu's handsome talent, no wonder the name of the god of war shook the world, no wonder the Wuhu iron cavalry outside the pass could not open the gate of the northwest border for ten years.

With such an iron defense, it is difficult to enter the customs!

When Twilight first arrived in Shiguan City, she was not familiar with the layout of the barracks in the city, but fortunately, she had a map of the city's defense layout in her house. In addition to the barracks in the city, there are also generals' mansions, martial temples and martial arts platforms, the drills and rest of the soldiers are from wartime, no drinking, no gambling, no military prostitute camp, no slack and lazy.

In the evening, the glow is like fire, dyeing the city, the yellow wind rises on the ground, and the barracks in the long street are full of yellow sand. The young man walked on the street, wearing ink clothes and snow sleeves, wearing chain mail, hairpins and silver crowns, stepping on black leather boots, and his ordinary eyebrows and eyes were lined with a little vigor by the new clothes of this military marquis.

Just as the meal was being eaten, a group of recruits on the street who were going to the gang's head camp saw the teenagers, and the recruits' eyes suddenly lit up, "Zhou Junhou? ”

Twilight doesn't know everyone, but the recruits do.

"The marquis also went to the camp to eat?" The recruit asked curiously.

The barracks of the military marquis are so spacious that they still need to go to the battalion of the gang to squeeze in a bunch with the recruits?

"No, find someone." Twilight said lightly, and then went to the gang camp, leaving behind a group of recruits with inexplicable expressions.

Looking for someone in the gang camp?

There are 50,000 new troops in Shiguan City, led by four soldiers, General Wuwei is the commander-in-chief, and the gang head battalion is also divided into four battalions, east, west, north and south.

The captain of the gang head battalion was surnamed Cao, and when he heard that Du Qing was coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Zhou Junhou, why are you here?" It's good to ask your own soldiers to get your food, why do you still need to come in person? ”

"I'm here to find my relatives." Twilight went straight into the room.

Cao Duwei's eyes kept on his eyes, and he almost thought that something was wrong with his ears.

In the room, there were three courtyards for stir-frying vegetables and steaming rice, washing vegetables and basins, and chopping wood for fire, and Dusk Qing went directly to the courtyard where the vegetables were washed, and swept around the ground, but did not see the person he was looking for, so he went to the yard where he chopped firewood.

The clothes of the military marquis startled many people, and everywhere they went, the busy men and soldiers got up one after another.

In the yard at the end of the battalion, there are mountains of firewood, some people are stacking firewood, some people are chopping firewood, a young man limps to carry firewood to the firewood pile, someone next to him thinks he is slow, he keeps urging, he doesn't speak, only being urged once, then he picks up more firewood, and tries to walk faster, in the yard of yellow sand, the back is lonely and thin.

"Liu Heizi." Suddenly someone behind him called him, and the young man was stunned and turned around.

At the gate of the courtyard, a young man stood, familiar eyebrows and eyes, unfamiliar robes, the robe was a military uniform, just the robe made the courtyard quiet, and the people who chopped and moved the firewood stopped, looking at the young man.

Since the farewell of the Hucha grassland, Twilight Qing and Liu Heizi have never seen each other, she marched with the army in front, Liu Heizi followed in the wounded barracks, a farewell for more than a month, she was promoted to the military marquis, the name shocked the whole army, he was transferred to the gang head camp because of lameness.

Hu Yanhao's short arrow left on the Hucha grassland crippled his leg and ruined his future in the army. According to the routine system in the Northwest Army, the remnants of the army could receive twenty taels of silver to return to their hometowns, but Liu Heizi did not leave.

Twenty taels of silver was enough for him to go back to his hometown in Jiangnan to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, but this dark and shy young man insisted on staying, preferring to stay in the gang's camp as a laborer.

Many people may be puzzled, but Twilight understands.

"I don't have any soldiers around me, are you coming?" There is no reminiscence, Twilight goes straight to the point.

Liu Heizi was stunned, and the firewood in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, thinking that his leg was lame, and his ear was also wrong.

He knew that on the Hucha grassland, she carried the arrow taken from him to confront Huyanhao, and it rained all night, and it was hot in the middle of the night. He was in a coma at that time, and this incident was told to him by Brother Shi afterwards, and he always wanted to thank her, but his legs and feet were so slow that he followed the army all the way, and he never had a chance.

After coming to the border pass, I heard that she had been promoted to a military marquis and led 10,000 soldiers, and he was only a remnant of the battalion, so he didn't dare to go to her barracks to meet her again.

I thought I would always owe her a thank you in my life, but I didn't expect her to suddenly appear in the gang camp!

Pro-soldiers?

He's got something wrong with his ears, right? That's all he ......

"Don't ask your legs, ask your heart." As if she could read minds, she suddenly spoke.

Liu Heizi looked at Dusk Qing, and there seemed to be a shock in his eyes.

He didn't get the twenty taels of silver to return to his hometown, and even invited himself to the gang camp without a good leg, and the people in the wounded barracks said that he was stupid, and that he had to drill into hard work. Only he knew in his heart that he was unwilling and didn't want to be a useless person. In this battalion of the gang leader, tired of the daily food of the army, at least he felt that he was still useful.

He was kicked out of the house by his brother and sister-in-law, saying that he didn't care, but he had a tone in his heart, he didn't hate, he just wanted to fight for himself. Unexpectedly, the reality was cruel, and the arrow on the grassland wanted his future, but he didn't want to go back to his hometown to face his brother and sister-in-law.

I'd rather die on the battlefield than return home with no merit.

His self-esteem and stubbornness have always thought that only he understands......

"But," the young man lowered his head, clenched his fists, and struggled with his face, "the soldiers are there to protect the marquis on the battlefield, and my legs are ...... I can't protect you. ”

He and she were only in the same army, and the days of the two-month march were no more than a month. She treats people coldly, usually talks the least, they haven't actually said a few words, but there has never been a conflict, in terms of friendship, not as good as him and Brother Shi, he really doesn't want to let her sympathize with each other because of this comradeship.

He was very grateful to her, and the grassland was angry for him, and he didn't dislike him for being lame, but he didn't want to be sympathized. If he is her personal soldier, but he is taken care of by her, he would rather do what he can in this gang camp.

"Your legs can't protect me, don't you still have your life?" Twilight said lightly.

Liu Heizi was stunned, Huo Ran raised his eyes, but saw Dui Qing turn around and walk out of the courtyard.

"Come or not, you decide." She just wants to find someone she trusts to be a soldier, but she doesn't want to make decisions about other people's lives.

Twilight Qing went out of the firewood courtyard, all the way out of the gang camp, all the way silent, even the gang leader of the stir-fry put down the spatula, the stove was blazing, the vegetables in the pot were scorching, but no one came back to their senses. The recruits who were lining up to receive food outside only saw the boy striding out of the gang's camp, and in the distance behind him, a swarthy young man with a lame leg followed.

Pro-soldiers!

Someone actually went to the gang head camp and picked a cripple to be a personal soldier!

In the evening of that day, the battalion of the gang suddenly exploded, and the matter spread throughout the army at a strange speed, and the legendary deeds of this recruit boy, who had been promoted to military marquis in two months, added another stroke to his legendary deeds.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

It was late afternoon when I went to the camp that day, and it was getting dark when I returned to the barracks. Twilight still wants to go to Shi Dahai, but looking at the sky, she can only wait for tomorrow.

But when Twilight returned to the barracks, she was stunned at the door.

The courtyard was dim, but there were clearly three people standing - Moon Kill, Zhang Tong, and Han Qichu!

"You guys?" Twilight was a little stunned.

Liu Heizi followed behind, and when he saw Zhang Tong and Han Qichu, he looked happy, "Brother Zhang!" Brother Han! ”

After saying that, he remembered, scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly changed his words, "Eh, Zhang Mochang!" Han joins the army! The more, the longer it is! ”

Liu Heizi is not familiar with Yue Kill, only that he recommended himself as a bait to hunt down Hu Yanhao when he was in Qingzhou Mountain, but Moon Kill asked for help alone in the battle of Shangyu Village, and invited General Yuan, which is already known to everyone in the army. When the recruits arrived at the border pass, the general rewarded them for their meritorious deeds, and everyone was promoted to military rank.

Zhang Tong and Yue killed and promoted Mo Chang, Han Qichu was transferred to Lu Da Tent as a staff member of the army, Lao Xiong was promoted from Mo Chang to military marquis, and now he is also leading an army in Shiguan City.

Zhang Tong's exploits in the first battle in Shangyu Village were actually enough to be promoted to a tun commander and lead five hundred soldiers, but Yuan Xiu heard about him in the Qingzhou Mountains and thought that his impatient temperament still needed to be tempered, so he first asked him to lead a hundred soldiers and take his time. And Lao Xiong's merit is not enough to be promoted to military marquis, he should have been promoted to captain, but he is a veteran of the Northwest Army, and he has a good way to lead troops on the march, Du Qing, Zhang Tong, Han Qichu, and Yue Kill are all soldiers under him, and the new army has just arrived at the border pass, and the generals need to lead the troops to train, Lao Xiong's training and battlefield experience is rich, and he can take this position, Yuan Xiu promoted his military position exceptionally.

Twilight didn't know when the three of them came, but she had apparently been waiting for a while.

"There is a curfew in the army, are you coming at this time?" Looking at the sky at dusk, it was almost dark.

Han Qichu smiled, "Naturally, I want to come, only Brother Zhang will return to the barracks later, and Chief Zai Xia and Yue Mo are both here to hand over the military Chinese book to the military marquis." ”

Han Qichu smiled quite deeply, and when he spoke, he had already handed over a document in his hand, and Du Qing took it, opened it and looked at it, and was suddenly stunned.

The transfer clerk in the army, the hussar general Lu Da joined the army Han Qichu, transferred to her account, and the military position was arranged.

Twilight looked up, and Moon Kill also handed over a paperwork, which was also transferred to her account.

Yue Kill and Han Qichu only joined her this morning, and they took the transfer paperwork in the evening? What are these two doing?

Han Qichu was a literati, the military marquis was not a general, and there was no staff under the account, wouldn't he be unyielding when he came to her account?

"If the military marquis does not give up, Han is willing to be a personal soldier by the military marquis's side." Han Qichu said with a smile.

Moon Kill had a cold face, snorted, and said directly: "Give me the position of your personal commander." ”
