While speaking, Qian Laosan had already brought a few people over. Seeing that Bao Kan and Zhao Shishi were also in the ranks, Jin Xi and Sun Zhongshan understood why Shang Cheng didn't let them lead the team, and they couldn't move these two people at all. Bao Kan's rank is exactly the same as Jin Xi's, and he is also a benevolent lieutenant under Zheng Jiupin, a regular guard who has fought an old battle, how can he obey the assignment of a border army officer? Zhao Shishi is inferior in terms of official rank, but he has a cold eyebrow and a cold face, and at first glance he is not a good-faced person who can easily get along, and he has the identity of an old brother of Shangcheng, and others have no way to dispatch him.

Looking at the people brought over by Qian Laosan, Shang Cheng was also a little stunned. Bao Kanshi would participate in the death squad, which was expected by him, but in addition to the other two border soldiers among the people who came over, there was also the more Turquoise guide Suza, who couldn't help frowning and asked Qian Laosan: "What are you doing?" Why did you bring him here? An ordinary dealer, who will be responsible for what happens? ”

Qian Laosan knew that this was a military operation, and it was not appropriate to bring a hunter, but he also had his reasons, and he explained to Shang Cheng with the sweat on his sideburns: "Suza is the best at climbing cliffs, and no matter how high the wall is, he can climb over it, I thought that his ability could come in handy, so I called him too." ”

Shang Cheng glared at him angrily. It's too inappropriate for this money to do things! This is a desperate deed, it is the duty of the border army and township to shed blood and kill, how can civilians be innocently sent to death? Glancing at Su Zha, who was looking at him with a rope on his shoulder, he really wanted to order him to go back, so he heard Qian Laosan say again: "My lord, he is not our Da Zhao's villager, just an outcast; Besides, no one had to force him to join in, it was all his own idea, and he took the initiative to ask for it......"

Shang Cheng sighed, looked at Su Zha a few times, and asked, "What do you mean?" He's not one of our Da Zhao? Not registered yet? ”

"He's a Turquoise who has come to us, and it's so easy to settle down. Not to mention the nationality, he has no way to guide and no evidence, and people who are not even allowed to enter the village can only exchange prey for rice, flour and salt outside the village. ”

Shang Cheng knew that it must be a big story to inquire about this matter, and now that the military situation was urgent, he didn't have time to listen to Qian Laosan, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Then where does he live on weekdays?" ”

"In a cave three miles east of the stockade."

"How long have you been here?"

Qian Laosan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I'm afraid it's twelve or thirteen years, right?" That year, he was caught by the soldiers in Shangzhai...... "was about to dig out old things, and when he heard Shang Cheng ask, "Are you afraid of death", he said "not afraid", and then he realized that Shang Cheng was not asking himself.

Suza shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid. ”

Shang Cheng stared at him and said, "This is a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, if you are afraid, it is still too late to quit now." When it's time to do it, I'll say ugly things in front of me, and don't blame me for being ruthless if I don't obey orders when facing the enemy! Seeing that Suza nodded in agreement without hesitation, he felt a little relieved. In addition to his expression being a little restrained, this foreigner walks calmly and calmly, and his hand holding the waist knife is also very stable. Shang Cheng didn't think he was too much of a hindrance, as long as he obeyed the order. However, if people are willing to work so hard, they must have some expectations, so they asked: "If you have any requirements and ideas, you can also say them." ”

Suza swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "I want to join the border army." ”

As soon as he said this, several officers and Zhao Shiqi glared at Su Zha angrily, and Bao Kan was just about to scold, but Shang Cheng had already readily agreed: "Okay!" However, the Mazhi Border Army is the elite of my Da Zhao, not a place where anyone can join if they want to, if you want to be a border army, you have to show me some skills. If you really can make meritorious contributions, let alone joining the border army and falling into household registration, it is not difficult to be promoted or promoted! After finishing speaking, he ignored Su Zha, whose face was swollen and flushed, and turned around and asked Qian Laosan, "Have you found all the padded jacket and water I want?" ”

Qian Laosan lifted the seven or eight gourds he was carrying in his hand and showed them to Shang Cheng, and pointed to the two border soldiers holding cotton robes and said: "There are enough jackets, there is not much water left, and it took a long time to make up these pots." Shang Cheng glanced at the gourd, calculated silently in his heart, and looked at the cotton jackets with some disappointment, all of them were bloodstained and broken, obviously temporarily removed from the dead man. Because he said, "There are enough jackets, but there is too little water, but for now we can only do it." He said to Sun Zhongshan Jin Xi again, "The matter here is to ask the two of you to raise the flag one by one, you rectify the team, and I will do it over there." Let's not talk about it; If I miss and can't come back, all the things here will be entrusted to Sun Whistle. Stretched out his hand and pulled out Sun Zhongshan's waist knife, raised his right arm and touched it on his chest, exchanged military salutes with the two sentinels, and left with Qian Laosan and his group, taking advantage of the terrain to cover a large circle, and quietly touched the edge of a peach forest.

It is only less than 200 steps away from Dujiadian, and squatting under the bare peach tree under the cover of branches, you can clearly see the figures of four bandits walking back and forth on the wall. Turning his face to look at the road he came over, the border army began to line up under the command of Sun Zhongshan, the red flag was erected and waved, dozens of border troops raised their shields to protect their chests and waist knives out of their sheaths, and the flag waved and shook three times in succession, and with a password, the border troops lined up in three rows advanced three steps.

Seeing the whole team of border troops, a terrible wooden whistle immediately sounded on the wall of Dujiadian, and in a blink of an eye, a row of people stood on the wall, and in a trance, there seemed to be white feathers with arrows flashing in the air. It was far away, and I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know if it was an arrow or not, and I didn't know if anyone in the border army was injured. Then I seemed to hear someone on the wall yelling and scolding, but I couldn't argue clearly.

Shang Cheng saw that there were two fewer bandits on the opposite wall, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and said softly, "It's time for us to go." And they all did as I did, and wrapped themselves in robes, and sprinkled water on them. He stretched out his hand and took a large robe, put it on, fastened it vigorously, took the gourd, and poured water on his shoulders and chest. The stone and the bag had been with him for a long time, and without thinking about it, he wrapped himself in a cotton robe like him, and when he opened the lid of the gourd, he sprinkled water on himself. Suza was a burly man, and he couldn't find a suitable one in the cotton robe he brought, and as soon as he gritted his teeth on the gourd, he sprinkled all the water on his old sheepskin jacket. Qian Laosan and the two border soldiers were dumbfounded, wearing robes but not sprinkling water, holding gourds inexplicably, not knowing what their commander was crazy about. The cold water in the gourd soaked Shang Cheng's double cotton jacket in an instant, and the cold air made him shiver, and in an instant, his heart was empty, and he picked up the waist knife inserted in the hard mud behind the trunk of the tree, and said "Follow me", and the cat jumped out with his waist. A few people in the back also hurriedly followed.

Fang ran half the distance, and the bandits on the walled wall had already noticed the movements of this small group of border troops, but they couldn't stop it halfway without bows and arrows, so they could only desperately shout warnings.

The distance of 200 paces is instantaneous. When Kankan ran to the wall, Shang Cheng slowed down, Bao Kan Zhao Shi ran past him to the wall, and he stuck his knife into the ground, and at the same time half squatted and half knelt face to face and bowed down, crossing his arms with his four hands to form a "net". Shang Cheng had already arrived, biting the back of the knife in his mouth and stepping on the middle of the "net"; Shi Baokan exhaled at the same time, and stood up with his legs and feet; Shang Cheng kicked under his feet, and one hand had already clinged to the frozen rammed earth on the wall. At this moment, a bandit appeared on the wall, and he pierced a spear through gritted teeth.

Shang Cheng's left foot kicked his body on the wall and swung a few inches, and his left hand grabbed the place behind the spearhead, and dragged it hard, the bandit was caught off guard, and his upper body was dragged down.

The bandit's forehead was bruised, gritting his teeth, the flesh on the gang bulged a few ridges, and his face was flushed to take the gun back, the two held each other, Shang Cheng suddenly let go, and the spear rose sharply, almost cutting the face of the other bandit, and the guy jumped backwards in horror. The bandit who had regained his weapon was not pleased, he rolled over the wall for a while, screaming in his mouth, and then disappeared behind the wall, screaming twice and leaning out again. He probably also wanted to poke two holes in Shang Cheng's body.

Shang Cheng seized the opportunity and climbed the wall with his hands and feet, and the man was still standing on the wall and lifted his legs, and kicked the bandit's face, and heard two small broken bones and a scream, and the bandit threw his spear and covered the door and knelt on the ground. The other bandit also came to his senses and rushed over with a spear, the tip of which pierced Shang Cheng's chest;

Shang Cheng didn't have time to dodge, he waved his knife and wanted to open the iron spearhead, but he stood on the wall with one foot, and his body was covered with a wet and heavy jacket, his body was far less flexible than usual, and he didn't swing the spear shaft when he went down, and there was no place to retreat behind him if he wanted to retreat, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and stiffen, and in a flash of cold light, the waist knife with a sharpened blade slashed at the enemy's neck, but after all, it was a step too slow, the knife was still one or two feet away from the bandits, and the tip of the spear had been handed to the chest......

The bandit was overjoyed, thinking that he had taken the lead, who expected that the tip of the spear would not be able to penetrate into Shang Cheng's chest again, and with the feeling in his hand, he could barely judge that the tip of the spear was not a cotton jacket, but more like an iron armor that only a senior general had. This jacket is not like the iron armor of the jacket, it is not like the iron armor, it is soft and hard, it is as soft as a freshly baked bun, and it is as hard as the iron armor. When I thought about it carefully, a cold light suddenly flashed from the corner of my eyes, and then I felt a chill next to my neck, and I suddenly got out.
