Li Qingshan, the captain of the Shenguang Ranger Military Academy, is not as good as his name, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a full face and beard.

When Cui Hanzhang opened the crowd and saw Li Qingshan, he was practicing with his subordinates in the camp, only to see a group of people in the circle playing a real fire, fists to the flesh, and surrounding Li Qingshan to pick out the key points. As a ranger captain, he used the wrestling skills that the Beihu warriors were good at fighting against people, and he was accustomed to fighting between the sergeants and soldiers in the barracks, Cui Hanzhang really didn't expect Li Qingshan to be so brave, and no one approached around him in a daze.

Although they met for the first time, they inevitably greeted each other, but the two gradually became familiar with each other through several ranger field battles, as for the in-depth development of the Northern Expedition in later generations, it really made the fate of the two entangled Yu Shen, maybe the joys and sorrows of the world are always accompanied by birth, old age, sickness and death, and on the battlefield, brotherhood is nothing more than the delivery of life and death, and the heart and soul of each other.

Although the two have been friends for a lifetime, in the rest of his life, Cui Hanzhang will involuntarily appear his beard whenever he thinks of how charming Qingshan is, which is really a bad scenery.

After Cui Hanzhang experienced the battle outside Jiatong Pass, the scene of the neighing of the war horse and the flying of flesh and blood was imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't sleep all night under the surging excitement of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, his eyes were blue, and he knelt down to the Holy Lord's request for orders: "Please allow the Holy Grace to allow Weichen to join the army, and I am willing to start as a ranger." ”

"Oh? Although you are a military officer in the Ministry of War, you are still a civilian official, why do you suddenly want to be a ranger? Emperor Jialong smiled, looked at Cui Hanzhang with interest, and felt a little surprised.

"Since Weichen followed the saint to the battlefield, he only wants to kill the enemy and serve the country, and he doesn't care about civil and military positions. The minister saw with his own eyes that many military attachés did not hesitate to die, throwing their heads and spilling blood, and Weichen only blamed himself for not being able to immediately lift his sword and get on the horse. Cui Hanzhang knelt on the ground, his face resolute.

"Okay, Shenguang has a new science exploration flower like Aiqing, why worry that I can't seal the wolf Juxu and Zen in Guyan." Cui Hanzhang's determination was so great that everyone present felt it clearly. Emperor Jialong was also very pleased, and personally stepped forward to help him,

"Since Cui Qing's family is so persistent, I will allow you to serve as the deputy captain of the ranger battalion, and the position of Wailang, the military selection officer of the military department, will be kept for you for the time being."

Cui Hanzhang looked happy, got up and went back to the camp, picked up the baggage that was accurate last night, and went straight to the ranger camp. If it weren't for him coming to the ranger camp, I am afraid that there would be no way to know that 'horses and horses step on Hu Chen, and the sword spirit overflows the three armies' is so widespread, saying that it is the border pass and the three towns, the streets and alleys, and the naughty children can also be catchy. Wherever there is well water, you can sing Cui poems. After everyone heard that he was the new science detective, they all rushed to see it, as if it were a novelty. Li Qingshan was familiar with himself, and pulled Cui Hanzhang to introduce them one by one, and introduced everyone's deeds by the way, saying that Cui Tanhua wrote poems to help the brothers become famous, and these words made a group of rough men in the military camp rarely shy.

It is true that Cui Hanzhang is usually diligent in exercising, but compared to the elite rangers who crisscross the battlefield and wander on the edge of life and death, he still looks quite immature. When he first entered the riding camp and got along with everyone, he naturally seemed out of place.

When Li Qingshan saw him for the first time, he also had a headache. Thinking that Tanhualang was a good soldier and didn't do it, he ran to the ranger camp in a daze, this chick with fine skin and tender meat, didn't he go out to give the scout of the Beihu Lushui Camp a head?

"I'm afraid that you are only afraid that you scholars have low eyes, and you can talk about good soldiers on paper, but you are a straw bag under the paper."

Cui Hanzhang listened to the very scenic words of the ranger captain, but laughed and said: "Cui is also afraid of the eyes and masters, and he has personally experienced the frontal grinding of more than 100,000 people outside Jiatong Pass, so he is determined to join the army and be a pawn. ”

Li Qingshan was noncommittal, and said something even more unlucky, "I, Li Qingshan, have no other great ability, but to collect a good corpse." If you Cui Dacai dies one day, Lao Tzu will collect the body for you, regardless of whether the corpse is separated, or if you are missing arms and legs, you will be able to collect it back. ”

Cui Hanzhang smiled and didn't answer, he saw Li Qingshan's good kung fu with his own eyes, so he often used his hot face to stick his cold ass and humbly asked for advice, what he wanted was to quickly change, lay a good foundation for the combat of the rangers, and strive to patrol the camp as soon as possible. Among the basic equipment of the rangers, Cui Hanzhang is especially fond of waist knives and arm crossbows, Li Qingshan has a lot of experience in the use of arm crossbows, and he uses yak tendons to improve the crossbow string, and he can wear three layers of armor.

It is precisely because of Li Qingshan's tireless teaching over and over again that Cui Hanzhang has become more and more proficient in the mastery and use of weapons and equipment. The arm crossbow can be shot from a distance and attacked, especially at close range, the explosive power is incomparable, the arm force must be fierce when facing the enemy, and the core is stable, so the strength training of the two arms is the daily homework of the rangers.

Compared with the daily practice of the riding camp, Cui Hanzhang felt that the martial arts arena in the house of Taikang Doumi Lane was as ridiculous as a child's house. Li Qingshan took special care of him and made two weight-bearing sandbags to tie to his arms, which he needed to wear when eating and sleeping. Looking at the calloused palms, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, my hands are the portal, and it is all up to me to hold a gun and a knife.

On this day, the snowflakes are sparse and sparsely falling, there is a tendency to grow, the north is bitter cold, as long as it snows, it will be completely unstoppable, and it is destined to be a sleepless goose feather snow. Cui Hanzhang stretched out a hand to catch the snowflake. His five fingers are white and slender, and if he is famous as a tanhualang, as long as he lives in the rich Taikang City, whether he is playing the piano and holding a book, or falling on the chessboard, he can make the infatuated woman like it. But now that he had worn out a thick callus, his heart became more and more cold and hard as the Ranger camp beats.

Li Qingshan is a first-class rider, and his own force value is even more terrifying, Cui Hanzhang is pleasantly surprised that this person can be called a treasure soldier, and he also has many unbelievable mixed skills.

I saw him sniff with his nose rubbed, and said in a low voice: "Make a fire to make food and eat well, and your legs will be weak at night." "It is said that this is the ability to smell the breath and cut off, and it is more accurate than judging the time by observing the sky by experience. This kind of skill is really eye-opening, as for the Taoist mountain ventilation principle, carrying Peng Ai to dig pits and burn, in order to dig a well to find water, is a side kung fu that the ranger camp must be proficient in.

Cui Hanzhang's tempering in the ranger camp made him realize that Shenguang Taizu was able to stand out in the battle with the kings, and he did have something extraordinary, the Shenguang army was not only fierce like a cloud, attacking the city in an instant, but also the ninth-rate craftsmen who were proficient in the left side of the door abounded, which made it difficult for the rest of the princes such as the king of Yanbei to match. And many of the miraculous skills that are now circulating in the army are mostly inherited by the craftsmen of the three religions and nine streams at that time.

Of course, Li Qingshan's ability to do this set of gods and gods, he himself said that there is another inheritance. Li Qingshan District Cavalry Battalion Captain, but the prestige is so high, I am afraid that the ranger generals are difficult to match, in the final analysis, the military camp pays attention to strength, the battlefield fight without the strength to lose the life is to lose the life, no matter how big the official position, it is just a joke for the soldiers after dinner, the bigger the official position, I am afraid the bigger the joke.

Before the formal confrontation of the army, the most frequent secret battles were between Shenguang Niumalan and Beihu Green Water Camp spies, and the Green Water Camp was divided into two lines, the plates and the spies, and the bead curtains were strung together and connected into a line. The incident in which the leader of the water saucer was captured and killed in Taikang Jinming Pool completely made the Beihu Green Water Camp Saucer System and Shenguang Niuma Fence work together. They all know that in this disgraceful battle, no one dares to stand on the table to call for battle, but no one will stand on the bright side to compete. Everything is beneath the surface of the water, each with its own magical powers and turbulent undercurrents.

On the other line, the ranger battalion took over all the spies of the Green Water Battalion, and the two sides fought each other on the flanks, rear, and even inaccessible places of the opposing army, coming and going like a wind and clouds. And it is the-for-tat confrontation of more than a dozen or even dozens of horsemen each time, which plays the role of a beacon guide for the march and confrontation of each other's main forces. Therefore, Cui Hanzhang chose the ranger camp to temper his body, and the fact was as expected, there was a great terror between life and death, and after he wandered, he felt that the world was wide. But if he hadn't met Li Qingshan, a first-class ranger, he would have been more than a foot tall.......

Although Li Qingshan is a rough tough guy, he is as careful as a hair, and he can always lead the ranger brothers to wander on the edge of life and death, go deep behind the enemy for hundreds of miles as if entering a no-man's land, and charge to kill the enemy spies is the first soldier, and the knife is bloody.

Li Qingshan's role as the big brother of the ranger camp has gradually established a personal style brand with the promotion of martial arts cultivation, and the phrase "see how charming I am Qingshan" made the entire Beihu Green Water Camp gnash his teeth at him. Especially at the end of the Northern Expedition, when covering the evacuation of the ranger camp, he singled out the senior brother of the soldier Zu Gu Huan Tan and shocked the world, Huan Tan had an enemy, which made everyone more and more curious about his origin, is it really the legendary disciple of the ancestor of the military family?

Although he never admitted it, he was disdainful whenever he talked about Bingzu Valley, scolding them for wolf ambition and forgetting their ancestors. Li Qingshan is not serious, the most is a mouthful, every time he talks about the embroidered fox Murong Yanran, he writes and sings by himself: "Black bearded sideburns, thin curved eyebrows, smooth eyes, fragrant mouth, straight nose uplift, pink face..."

A few years later, Cui Hanzhang was able to return to the barracks, and always told the brothers in the ranger camp how Li Qingshan, the captain of the ranger camp that year, dominated the battlefield of spies and killed the Beihu Lushui camp. Shenguang Li Qingshan, Beihu Youhuan Tan, the two can be described as bright for a while, showing romance in such a magnificent era.

Taking advantage of the fact that the wind and snow were not heavy, Li Qingshan and Cui Hanzhang led a team of twenty people from the ranger camp, and quietly left the camp and cruised along the left fifty miles.

Although this line is not on the route of the main army of the middle of the Shenguang, but after the battle between the two sides, the stragglers who were defeated in the process of charging are close to a few hundred people, and these stragglers are temporarily frightened by the main force of the Shenguang, even if they are on forty or fifty Shenguang light cavalry, they will flee from the wind, but those small villages along the river north of Jiatong Pass have suffered disasters, and the ranger battalion has been going out to chase and suppress in the past few days, but a group of twenty or thirty Hu cavalry has continued to converge after the initial panic, including a number of two hundred Beimang cavalry, There was a hard-fought encounter with the ranger battalion, and both sides suffered heavy losses, so this time Li Qingshan personally led the team, not only to sweep away the remnants of the Beihu cavalry to pick up the ranger brothers who should be outside, but also to thoroughly find out within 200 miles on the left side of the army.

In the wilderness outside the Saiwai Desert, not to mention hundreds of horsemen and dozens of horsemen, it is thousands of horses, as long as it is far away from the city pass, it is really looking for a needle in a haystack, so King Pingkang and other troops can start a guerrilla war.

Previously, after the 100 elite scouts of the ranger battalion met with the Beihu cavalry in the wild, they did not take the initiative to attack, but were only responsible for spying on the military situation.

The military rules of the Shenguang army are strict, and the cavalry battalion is even more ironclad, and the retreat of the battle formation, lying about the military situation, and killing the good and risking the merits are the three major capital crimes, and the matter of retreating from the battle is extremely ridiculous for the masters of the ranger battalion. The head is no bigger than a bowl-sized scar, and the person dies and the bird is facing the sky. And the ranger battalion team that went out of the camp to spy on the military situation this time only rode back, saying that the other brothers had encountered a large group of Beihu cavalry, which made Li Qingshan extremely worried, so he directly led the team out of the camp to respond.

Rushing all the way, running into a riverside village, the location should be the middle of Shuofang and Jiatong Pass, the corpses of villagers can be seen everywhere, there should be forty or fifty families in the village has long been left without chickens and dogs, only a few willows with bent branches outside the village, in this early spring when everything should be growing, exhorting those few touches of green.

In the wheat drying field in front of a village house in the north of Zhuangzi, they saw the tragic death of a family of five, two old men were hacked to death at the door by the Beihu war knife, the middle-aged man who was supposed to go to the field to sow spring wheat, after his death was still clutching the hoe, his son's head was in front of his eyes, the young headless corpse was closer to his mother, the woman was stripped naked, and after being ruined by the Beihu cavalry, her limbs were cut off.

The young ranger brother sobbed, "Brother Scar couldn't look at it, and said that I should bring the military intelligence back to the camp, and then said that if he dies in battle, don't forget to burn more paper money for them to spend on the road." I refused to leave, so the captain kicked me hard, saying that they all died here, what should the military situation do? ”

On the wheat field, more than a dozen ranger brothers died tragically, the sabers and light crossbows were all taken away, the armor was removed, and there were only slick corpses, and the blood on the ground was just cold.

One man died tragically under the wall of a mud hut, and the arm with the knife was chopped off and deliberately placed on his head. The two died in the wheat field, the body of the captain was tied to a bench and used as a target for arrows, and his whole body was covered with bloody holes shot by bows and arrows, and none of the others' dead bodies were intact, and they were even more brutally disemboweled........

Li Qingshan and Cui Hanzhang were all pale, and neither of them spoke.

It's not that they haven't seen a more brutal scene than this, in what year has there been no battle to the death until one side is completely dead to the north of their Jiatong Pass? Who among them hasn't collected the corpses of one after another who died in battle?

Li Qingshan, an old ranger who could clearly call out the names of the four people, said softly with red eyes: "Scar is a few grievances who die like this......"

Leave one person to collect the corpse, and the rest of the people get on the horse and follow me to hack this group of Beihu bastards.

This is the first time Cui Hanzhang has seen Li Qingshan's domineering, in a wind-eroded cliff, after catching up with the Beihu cavalry of more than 60 people, he took the lead, directly crushed the charge, even if he was cut by a scimitar, he did not change the route of the charge, and a back and forth actually chiseled through this cavalry team, but he was even more miserable, and there was no intact blood spilling everywhere.

The brothers in the back followed, and the small queue of twenty people attacked in a cone, with Li Qingshan as the tip of the cone, and charged and chiseled through again, in such a silent charge, although Cui Hanzhang was in the middle of the formation, he was also in the body with two crossbow arrows after a fight.

Far away from the wilderness of the main battlefield, there was a silent fight, swimming on the edge of life and death all the time, and finally the twenty-person team was completely damaged, and only three people were left gasping, Li Qingshan was full of crossbow arrows, and one eye was bleeding. Cui Hanzhang rolled off the horse, the side of his waist and abdomen was cut by the Beihu scimitar, and the blood was almost exhausted, he clearly remembered that if it wasn't for Li Qingshan flying to help him block the fatal arrow, I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to see Sister Mingwei again in this life, and the knife he was disemboweled. On the battlefield, life and death are entrusted to brothers, but that's it. The other leaned against the fallen horse, with only one arm left to wield a knife vigorously. But the ranger squad tenaciously killed the Beihu cavalry team of sixty people, and it became a myth in the entire Shenguang main army, and the brothers of the ranger battalion blocked three with one, which one dares to say that my Shenguang cavalry is weak?

Cui Hanzhang was born in the south of the fertile Longyuan River, and also walked through the mountains and rivers on foot, participated in the Jin'an examination, and also walked through the streets in Taikang City. But only outside Jiatong Pass, there was no word in the death, and there was no sound in grief, at this moment in addition to fighting in his heart, he only quietly thought of his beloved Cui Mingwei in a corner.

When the three of them were carried back to the ranger camp, the saint personally ordered them to be sent back to Jiatong Pass to heal their wounds, and upgraded the ranger camp's full equipment, first-class horses, bright light armor, and cold iron sabers. Li Qingshan rewarded the Ranger General, Cui Hanzhang rewarded the Ranger Captain, and the other rewarded the Ranger Commander.

During the period when the three of them were recuperating from their injuries, Li Qingshan's mouth couldn't stop, even the silent military doctor sighed at Li Qingshan's tenacious vitality, he shouted that he was tired of seeing the toughness of the high-headed horses in the north, thinking that he would have the opportunity to see the gentleness of the beautiful girl in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was reluctant to die if he said anything. Cui Hanzhang seemed quite silent, but he knew that the friend of life and death was nothing more than that, and in the ups and downs of the sea in the following decades, such a friend was precious.

"Green and yellow, killing lambs, Shenguang horses, fighting on the battlefield, wandering in bandits, returning to their hometowns, dreaming of the corner of the camp, leisurely love ......"

In the middle of the night, Cui Hanzhang stood at the head of the city wall of Jiatong Pass, singing the song "War Horse Fu" boundless desolation...........
