Chapter 213: Don't Seek to Live Together, But Seek to Die Together!
The soldiers of Xun Yifu are all veterans who participated in the last Northern Expedition and many battles, and they are the backbone elite carefully built by Pei Xingjian, and they are steel troops that have been tempered by blood and fire.
This is a group of out-and-out cowmen, but the recruits all scolded them as birdmen, and even scolded the ancestors of these "birdmen" for eighteen generations. Because they are particularly arrogant, they always like to pretend to be the best in the world in front of the recruits, and you are all shit and poop. Occasionally, the martial arts instructor of the recruits is definitely ruthless, and many people have been injured and cried.
However, the recruits are desperate to become "birdmen" like them.
Strangely, the guards of Xun Yifu treated Xue Shao and Niu Ben very kindly, and they were truly "warm like spring".
The reason is very simple, they were harsh and cruel to the recruits before, hoping that the recruits would grow up as soon as possible and be able to live on the battlefield for a while in the future, which is actually a special "compassion" that belongs only to the soldiers.
Now, they have regarded the two recruits Xue Shao and Niu Ben, whom they had fought with and whom they were particularly familiar with and respected, as members of their collective, their arms and backs on the battlefield, and iron-blooded brothers who share life and death.
Xue Shao finally found his familiar presence in the army of the Tang Dynasty.
When it comes to individual combat ability, almost no one in Xun Yifu can be Xue Shao's opponent, which is also an important reason why Xue Shao has won their respect and recognition. However, Xue Shao has never seen such a team in Datang that sincerely unites and unites.
Xue Shao had no doubt at all that everyone here dared to block the sword and arrow for any comrade-in-arms around him.
The mercenary veterans of the Three Guards and Five Mansions, they are the enemy killers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are real pure men and hot-blooded men.
Just like those comrades-in-arms that Xue Shao met at the special operations base!
When Xue Shao and Niu Ben arrived at Xun Yifu, the men here gave them a very grand welcome ceremony-
Rush up and strip it naked!
No matter how brave Xue Shao is, he can't beat a group of brave and concerted iron-blooded men, and he stood there in embarrassment, "What do you want to do, what do you want to do!" Lao Tzu doesn't have a dragon yang fetish! β
Niu Ben was already scolding the street, "Your grandma's, pay for my clothes!" β
The gentleman of Xunyi's Mansion laughed and brought two big buckets.
"Let's wash!"
"I'm done, get a new skin!"
Water, Xue Shao and Niu Ben are divided into bowls in the new corps.
When I got here, I was able to take a shower!
A group of rough men threw Xue Shao and Niu Ben into the big bucket, and helped them rub their backs and wash their hair.
Niu Ben's big black face turned red and purple, don't be like this, don't be like this, I'll be shy!
Not to mention Xue Shao, what kind of trouble are you going to make?
After taking a bath, a group of old men stood in two rows as if they were holding a solemn religious ceremony, holding brand new white underwear and red military uniforms, as well as shiny scarbs and delicate iron armor, embroidered with the blood-colored robes of the Rui Beast Qilin.
Also, the guards who want to go to the battlefield will be issued with horizontal knives!
The originally relaxed and even a little boring atmosphere has become very dignified.
At this time, a man in his early forties walked in, Kong Wuzi, with three hideous scars on his face, his appearance can be described without being ugly, and his eyes were cold as if he had no emotion at all, which was simply fierce and vicious.
"I am the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Yue Cavalry Regiment of Xunyi Fu, surnamed Kuang, the third in the family, and I also have three dog bite scars on my face, and my brothers call me Kuang Sandao." The scarred man's voice was hoarse and thick, and every word was like a drum: "There is no mischief in the Xun Mansion." Every soldier who can enter the Xunfu is a real man, and he is a brother in life and death of my three swords. β
Xue Shao and Niu Ben stood silent.
"Every soldier who enters the Xunfu will go through such a ritual - wash away everything in the past and become a meritorious guardian of the Tang Dynasty." "We call it the Warrior's Honor!" in his hoarse but thunderous voice, "We call it the Warrior's Honor!" β
The situation is full of anger in the three knives, and the thunder shouts-
"Whether you are a slave pariah, or a dignitary, here, Xunfu - only iron-blooded and loyal guards!"
"The red uniform is the glory of the warrior, and the unicorn uniform is the symbol of the hero!"
"You must always remember that the military uniforms you are wearing were sewn together by our wives, daughters, and sisters! - We, swear to defend it! β
"Remember at all times that the armor and the sword you wear are forged by the hands of our fathers, sons, and brothers! - We, swear to defend it! β
"Rememberβ
The sky above your head is the sky of the Tang Dynasty!
The thick soil under your feet is the land of Datang!
The people behind him are the people of the Tang Dynasty!
- We, swear to defend it! β
All the guards of the Lord's Mansion shouted in unison - "Swear to the death!" β
Xue Shao and Niu Ben involuntarily roared - "Swear to the death to defend it!" β
"Submission!"
The guard with underwear in his hand stepped forward, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son!" β
The guard with a military uniform stepped forward, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are the same as your son!" β
The guard with the robe in his hand stepped forward, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are dressed with your son!" β
Guo Sandao shouted: "Put on them, you are our brothers in life and death!" Don't seek to live together, but seek to die together! β
"Don't seek to live together, but seek to die together!" The guards shouted in unison.
Xue Shao felt a little out of breath, hot-blooded and heavy man, simple and fiery emotions.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, strong!
"I recognize you good brothers! - Don't seek to live together, but to die together! Niu Ben suddenly burst into tears and hurriedly began to get dressed.
Xue Shao was relatively silent and quietly put on his clothes. He stretched out a hand to those people, "Do not seek to live together, but to die together!" β
All the sergeants smiled and slapped their hands on Xue Shao's slap together.
"Brother!"
"Me too! - Brother! β
Late that night, all 100 Vietnamese cavalry guards of the 1st Brigade of the Yue Cavalry Regiment of Xun Yi Prefecture plus two new recruits, under the leadership of the brigade commander Kuang Sandao, quietly left the army camp and advanced to the north.
Xue Shao finally put on the Datang armor that he had loved for a long time, although it was not Mingguang armor, but it was also one of the iron armors, it was very heavy, and it was not easy to wear it on his body at all. The kind of iron armor that is both light and thin and has high defensive power can only be worn by high-ranking generals and relatives of the royal family.
plus the horse lance in his hand, the horn crossbow on his back and the horizontal knife on his waist, add up to nearly 100 catties. Riding a horse with this set of equipment is really not easy.
When choosing horse combat weapons, Xue Shao didn't want to use a horse lance, the reason was very simple, his horse kung fu was not very good, and the paint spears used by ordinary cavalry were not very sharp.
But Sandao said that those who can't can learn it. If you are only satisfied with using a good paint gun, you will definitely not use a good paint gun.
This sounds a bit awkward, but the meaning Xue Shao understands, and the truth is the same as "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier". So he resolutely chose the heavy weapon dedicated to the generals of the world clan - the horse lance!
Xue Shao and his entourage had a total of one hundred and three horsemen, and their task was to investigate the enemy situation in the two states of Shuodai and the Great Wall, and report back in time. At the same time, it is necessary to appease the defeated soldiers and appease the exiled people.
The army of 30,000 did not know the defeat in front of the road. Xue Shao and his party carried out a secret mission.
The horses of Xunfu seem to have been tested for a long time and are accustomed to long-distance running, and their physical strength is particularly good. A night of galloping, with hardly any long rest on the way. At dawn, the group arrived at the outskirts of Tanglin County in Daizhou.
Take a break in a thick wooded area.
In addition, Sandao arranged for two fire guards to rotate around as vigilant scouts, so that everyone could seize the time to eat, drink, rest and replenish their strength.
Before leaving, everyone brought only some steamed cakes and drinking water, and now they sat down to eat some dry food to rest their horses, and some people leaned against the big trees to take a nap.
The "Golden Sleep Method" used by Xue Shao in the military in his previous life played a huge role at this time. Forcing yourself to take all the time to rest in an unfamiliar harsh environment is a fairly important skill in wartime.
After eating half a cake and drinking a few sips of water, Xue Shao immediately fell into a deep sleep, and his physical strength was replenished rapidly.
After resting for about an hour, the men and horses regrouped.
Daizhou is adjacent to Shuozhou and the Great Wall, and has always been a battleground for soldiers, with the ancient name of "Yanmen County".
Because the sky was already clear, it was also close to the enemy's front line, and it was possible to encounter enemy troops at any time, so Kuang Sandao led everyone to walk the path between the mountains and forests.
The experience of the veterans played a huge role, and they knew the terrain inside out. He even accurately found a clear spring in the mountains and forests, and took everyone to replenish their drinking water.
After walking in the mountains and forests for about an hour, a village appeared in front of me.
There seems to be smoke billowing out!
Everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts. The three knives ordered to lurk and observe first.
The billowing smoke dissipated somewhat, but the flames rose. At the same time, the five horsemen ran out of the village with a click, screaming all the way with knives and bloody human heads hanging from under the horses' necks!
"Turkic mongrel!"
Almost at the same time, everyone's blood was flushing and their eyes were red!
However, no one rushed out of the city, because the three knives had not yet been ordered.
Xue Shao held down Niu Ben next to him like a beast about to come out of the cage, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire!
Sandao was surprisingly calm, and his cold eyes seemed to see no trace of his emotional fluctuations.
Xue Shao felt that the situation was like a volcano under an ice field.
Such a person is indeed a qualified battlefield commander.
Going deep behind enemy lines, every judgment and order of a battlefield commander is a matter of victory or defeat, life or death. At this moment, Guo Sandao is still calmly observing.
The five horsemen ran along the mountain road towards a place far away from the ambush of Xue Shao and the others. A human head hung under the horse's neck, spilling a trail of blood.
"Brigade Marshal, just let this group of mongrels go?!" Niu Ben let out a low growl.
Guo Sandao picked up a lump of mud beside him and smashed it on Niu Ben's head.
"If you make any more noise, you will cut it!"
Niu Ben gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't say anything more.
Xue Shao squatted down and walked to Guo Sandao's side, and whispered, "Boss, let me go into the village to investigate." β
"Shut up!" Sandao snorted very unceremoniously, "It's all for me!" β
But a moment later, there was a louder "woo" cry on the mountain road ahead. The five-cavalry Turkic soldiers, who had just gone and returned, returned.
The mountains and forests shook!
Behind them, a large cavalry followed! .
