The border army is bitter, this is a truth that everyone who is a soldier knows.

In fact, compared with the border troops guarding the northern border, the officers and soldiers guarding the narrow road in the Qinling Mountains only felt that they were several times more bitter than them, and the range of activities in the daily day was near the checkpoint, and the military regulations were strict, and the officers and soldiers stationed in the narrow road could neither drink alcohol, nor could they approach women.

You can't drink alcohol for fear of making a mistake, but some people really can't figure out why they can't get close to women.

Although the border army stationed in the north is also strictly forbidden to drink, the imperial court will send sinners to the border every year, but in this checkpoint, it is rare to see a woman all year round.

The defenders in the narrow road rotate once every six months, and this half year is a torment for everyone, and no one dares to take it lightly, after all, they are in the front, and no one knows when the people of Chu will suddenly appear.

The only thing that made the defenders happy was that they should be paid far more than the northern border army, and for the sake of the silver, they could only endure it here.

Cao Ying is in a good mood today, the card whistle is in the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by only towering high walls, even if he has silver in his arms, it is a fool's dream to buy a jar of wine, but Cao Ying is a drunkard.

Alcoholic and can't, of course, it is a kind of torment, today the Chu State Mission is very particular, leaving a jar of wine for himself, Cao Ying can't wait to open the seal on the spot and drink freely, but he can't help himself, and after dark, he called two or three people together, although it is a little slow drinking, but in less than an hour, the wine jar bottomed out.

Cao Ying thought about drinking this jar of wine alone, but she also knew that if she really ate alone, maybe someone would poke this thing out, pull several more important characters in the sentry together, and everyone would drink together, so she didn't have to worry about causing trouble in the future.

The wine is a good wine, and the wine is fragrant when drinking, but the stamina of this wine is not small, and it may not have much reaction before, but it has not been a drop of wine for a few months, and today it was suddenly drunk, and several people felt a little drunk.

Although Cao Ying was drunk, he still did not forget his duty, and ordered his subordinates to be on strict guard, not to be negligent in the slightest, and wanted to go back to the barracks to rest, but his steps were vain, and his walk was staggering, and he didn't want people to help him, so he only asked people to take blankets and lie down on the hay shop on the mountain next to the stone wall, and several other people did the same.

When Cao Ying was drunk and asleep, Qi Ning had already led people to the barracks.

After all, the guard in the narrow road of Qinling is unusual, although it is already midnight, most of the people on this side of the barracks have already fallen asleep, but they still arranged two people to be on duty, and at night two soldiers were wrapped in autumn clothes, one left and one right were on duty at both ends of the barracks.

Qi Ning led dozens of people like ghosts in the dark night, quietly touching the vicinity of the barracks, where lanterns hung outside the barracks, swaying in the night wind.

The two Han soldiers on duty had apparently slept during the day and were not tired.

A group of people stopped behind the stone pile not far from the barracks, Lu Kang held a longbow in his hand and carried a quiver on his back, leaned over and whispered: "Sir, Qin Jian and I will shoot the two vigilers first, and then everyone will do it again." ”

Qi Ning thought that this was also the best way, and said in a low voice: "Be careful. ”

Lu Kang smiled slightly, full of confidence, turned around, and made a gesture to Qin Jian, who was following him closely, Qin Jian nodded slightly, and the two of them fell on the ground and slowly approached the barracks.

Qi Ning held the knife and waited with everyone.

Lu Kang and Qin Jian are both veterans of arrows

Before the arrow, it is natural to have a sufficiently accurate judgment of the distance, this narrow passage is dim and tight during the day, and at night it is even more impossible to see the five fingers, fortunately, there is the lantern to guide the way, but it has helped the two of them a lot, Qin Jian arrived at the right position first, Lu Kang whispered to Qin Jian to explain two sentences, and then continued to touch forward, to deal with another person, Qin Jian lay on the ground, pay attention to the movement of Lu Kang, and saw Lu Kang move more than ten steps away and stopped.

Qin Jian immediately knelt down, bent his bow and arrows, he was in the dark, and he was covering, and the Han soldiers didn't pay attention to the movement here at all, but he didn't release the arrow immediately, but waited for the signal from the landing side.

Two Han soldiers were on duty at night, and in order to be foolproof, they naturally had to shoot at the same time, so that the two Han soldiers were killed at the same time in an instant.

Qin Jian aimed the arrow at a Han soldier, his fingers were steady, a gust of night wind blew, and suddenly he heard a whistle that was not too loud, Qin Jian did not hesitate, his fingers loosened, and the sharp arrow seemed to pierce the air, shooting straight towards the Han soldier, and Lu Kang also released the arrow almost at the same time, the two Han soldiers did not react at all, and soon "poof" twice, and the two arrows also entered the throat of a Han soldier almost at the same time, penetrating the neck.

The two Han soldiers didn't snort, they both fell to the ground.

Qi Ning saw the two Han soldiers falling, and then did not hesitate, waved his hand, and took the lead in rushing to the barracks, behind him a group of warriors like wolves and tigers, this row of barracks has a total of six rooms, Qi Ning has already known in advance, he plus himself a total of thirty-nine people, except for his own team of nine people, the other five teams each team of six people, everyone knows which room they have to deal with, quickly touched the front of the house, and did not immediately break into the forbidden area, each determined the situation in the house in the window, and then looked at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning bowed slightly, and someone from each team approached the wooden door and silently used a dagger to pick open the door bolt inside.

This barracks is very simple, the door crack is quite large, it is really easy to pick the door bolt, and there are two rooms that are not even bolted, and when the door bolt is opened, each team made a gesture to Qi Ning's side, Qi Ning raised his hand and made a cutting action down, everyone did not hesitate, gently pushed the door open, and ghostly touched into the house.

Qi Ning's face was grim, and after a while, he heard a strange cry from one of the rooms, but the cry also stopped abruptly in an instant, and after a while, the teams came out of the room one after another and reported in front of Qi Ning.

It was already the middle of the night, and the weather was cold, and the Han soldiers in the barracks had already fallen asleep.

It's just that there was a little situation in one of the rooms, a Han soldier was half-asleep, and he noticed that someone had touched in and wanted to scream, but his throat was cut in an instant, which was the strange scream that Qi Ning heard just now.

There were sixteen people on the side of the barracks, but they were actually sleeping in four rooms, and two of them were empty.

Almost instantly, all the Han soldiers in the barracks were solved, and Qi Ning, just in case, ordered everyone to check around the barracks again to make sure that there were no more survivors, and then regrouped the team.

This barracks is only a few miles from the outpost, and it is just there.

Qi Ning summoned everyone to gather and said in a low voice: "The brothers all know that the emperor is worried about the world and wants to unify the country, only when the world is unified, can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and not suffer from swords and soldiers." Take Xianyang, my Dachu will dominate the world is just around the corner, to take Xianyang, we must take this card whistle tonight. He suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "That's it, don't talk about these big truths, you listen, let's open up the meridian road, take Xianyang, and be prosperous in the future."

You can't enjoy it all, whether it is a golden beauty or a glorious ancestor, I can guarantee that you can all get it, whoever has made more military achievements, the more he will get when the time comes, do you understand? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all smiled, and a soldier smiled and said: "Sir, the little one is from Tuhaha, if you make a great contribution, can you marry a lady from an official family, so that you can really glorify the lintel!" ”

"Miss Guanjia?" Qi Ning smiled: "How many?" You have made military achievements, I will ask you to be a general, and when the time comes, you will be a general first, and when you become a general, which official lady you like, you can't figure it out yourself, tell me directly, I will help you get it. ”

Everyone is even more embarrassed.

"Fight bravely to kill the enemy, and we will be rich and prosperous in the future." Qi Ning held the knife in his hand, "Let's go!" ”

Qi Ning's most direct encouragement made everyone even more enthusiastic, thinking that this time he was following the imperial grandfather to act together, as long as he fought bravely to kill the enemy, the grandfather of the country could see it clearly, and the tower near the water was the first to get the moon, and there was a small prince to take care of, and I was afraid that I would not be able to add an official to the knighthood? At the moment, one by one is like a tiger wolf.

There was already a dead silence on the side of the checkpoint.

On the stone wall were four or five soldiers on duty, lighting a few torches, as they had done for many years, keeping an eye on the movement on the south side of the narrow road.

The soldiers stationed here have a lot of salaries and silver, and the responsibility is naturally very heavy, and everyone has been told almost countless times that there will be no enemy attack from the south in ten or eight years, but they must not be negligent in the slightest, and the soldiers of the sentry are indeed very vigilant, but since the Chu and Han countries were established separately, the narrow roads of the Qinling Mountains have almost become a barbaric place where birds do not, even during the most fierce three-year Qinhuai War between Chu and Han, Chu State did not appear on the side of the Qinling narrow road.

Although the defenders are fighting hard day after day to perform repetitive tasks, they are still much lax in their bones after all, and no one will think that the people of Chu will really appear in front of them.

The two soldiers on the watchtower were wearing thick cotton clothes, and they stood tall, so they naturally became the focus of the night wind's care, although there were still some days before the cold winter season, but the night wind blowing on the face, still made people feel a chill.

A soldier leaned against the wooden pole in the corner of the watchtower, glanced at the horn, and wondered if it could still be sounded.

On duty at night, you can be assigned some dry food as supper, another soldier touched a handful of fried beans from a small bag and put them in his mouth, stretched his waist, it was already the middle of the night, and it would take a few hours to rotate, if it weren't for the military order Rushan was transferred, plus the salary was considerable, who the hell would want to run to this ghost place to guard, he was thinking in his heart that after waiting for a few months to rotate and leave here, whether he would find a relationship and not run to this ghost place again.

The fried beans chewed in his mouth became more and more fragrant, and the soldier couldn't help but reach out and grab a small handful, and was about to put it in his mouth, but his shoulder was patted, and he turned his head over, but saw his companion frowning, and pointed his finger downward: "Who is that?" ”

The soldier couldn't help but follow his finger to look over, but he didn't see anything, but he felt a wall in his throat, and it seemed that something had pierced his throat, he didn't even feel pain for a while, he only felt that his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar at this moment, and he couldn't say how uncomfortable, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an arrow that had not entered the neck of his classmate, and the soldier's pupils contracted, and he tried his best to grab the fence of the watchtower, trying to shout out, but he couldn't call anything, and the whole person lay on the fence softly.
