Chapter XXIV

After electing Zuo Yin as the deputy captain, all the people of the Ten Columns and Ten Teams of the Guards Battalion fell asleep one by one, as if at this time, the tidal tiredness swept them deeply. Zuo Yin is no exception, although the intensity of this fight is still a little worse than when he was training outside the territory, but after all, it is also a big war, and he seems to have a higher grasp of the middle stage of forging in the battle, plus he has rich experience in dealing with foreign races compared to others, so his goal in this war is to be able to really help Master and Yang Zizhan's eldest brother's position, sleepiness, just like this.

Nothing was said all night.

"Kill"

"Quick, move these arrows to the Dragon Gate"

"What about the doctor's camp? This guy got an arrow in the right chest, come and deal with it! ”

Countless voices recalled in the camp, Zuo Yin suddenly woke up from his dream, rubbed his eyes that were sleeping, he stretched a long lazy waist, and his whole body made a crackling sound of bones, Zuo Yin suddenly felt refreshed, he took out a clean shirt from under the bed, the war has begun, it is impossible to take a bath, all the water is strictly controlled. Drink water, manage enough, and take a bath, then you don't need to talk about it.

Zuo Yin took out the old clothes that were stained with blood last night, opened them and found a fairly clean corner, wiped his body, put on a clean shirt, and then put on his own red light armor, although the armor has a lot of collapses, but it can still be used.

The advantage of this light armor is that it has almost no impact on the actions of the soldiers, it can maximize the strength and speed it should have, and it has good toughness, and it can buffer the attack of blunt weapons well, just like the thunder beast last night, the light armor can remove part of the strength, which is more suitable for southern Xinjiang than those heavy armor.

Most of the other people in the tenth team also got up, and after enough sleep, everyone's faces recovered a lot of energy, and the pain of last night was also swept away, Shen Mu and Zuo Yin led more than a dozen people to the cafeteria.

At this time, it is close to late autumn, the climate is slowly getting colder, the sky is no longer clear in the second half of last night, dark clouds cover the sky, there are leaves from the barracks from time to time from the wind drifting in the wind, being trampled by people and falling in the mud, most of the soldiers who come and go along the way are trotting all the way, everyone has a kind of seriousness on their faces, from time to time there are anxious heralds riding war horses, carrying herald flags running from the barracks, ten teams of people walked all the way along the roadside, and went directly to the canteen.

This point is in the morning, most people have already eaten on time, and those who can come at this point are basically the five thousand fire tigers who participated in the expedition last night, and the wounded in the doctor's camp are naturally responsible for delivering food over.

The canteen was already extremely noisy, and the fire tigers who had come down from the battlefield and slept all night were in good spirits and full of anger, but it seemed that last night's casualties had silenced everyone, and most of them were just hurriedly picking up food in their mouths.

"Yo, Shen Mu." A greeting sounded, and many people from the ten teams who were originally preparing a meal looked over when they heard the words, and a young man in red armor with a captain-style sword looked at this side, smiling and waving his hand, but there was a mockery in his eyes that were half-squinted because of his smile.

"Su Shixin." When Shen Mu saw this person, his eyes were gloomy in an instant, while many people in the tenth team secretly clenched their fists, with a little hostility on their faces, and Zhang Sishuo on the side quietly reminded behind Zuo Yin: "The captain of the tenth and eighth teams, Su Shixin, has always been at odds with our captain Huo. Zuo Yin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, he only stayed in the barracks for three days, and most of the time he was explaining to the members of the tenth team what he had seen outside the frontier, and he hadn't communicated much with other teams, but after all, he followed the army last night, and this Su Shixin himself was still a little reflective.

Su Shixin had already walked over with a dinner plate at this time, and behind him, it seemed that more than a dozen people from Su Shixin's team had come to surround him, and it seemed that last night's war had also caused a lot of casualties to the eight teams.

Su Shixin and his party had already walked in front of Zuo Yin and them at this time, and most of the people around them who were originally eating saw this scene, and most of them looked at it with great interest, as if most of them knew about the grievances of the two teams.

Su Shixin stared at Shen Mu and said slowly: "I heard about Huo Congzhi's misfortune last night, Su was very sad in his heart, please convey Su's condolences for me." Su Shixin's words seemed to be sincere, but there was a lot of ridicule in his eyes. As soon as the words fell, the group of the tenth team was already glaring angrily, Huo Congzhi was their captain, and he was even a warrior who was injured in battle, how could he be humiliated like this. Furious, several people in the ten teams had already put their hands on their waists, but they only found that they did not bring knives when they ate, so they could only secretly clench their fists.

In the confrontation between the two groups of people here, Zuo Yin felt that a fire of ignorance seemed to be surging in his heart, and those who knew the situation last night knew that Huo Congzhi's military career was likely to be cut off, but thinking of the scene where Captain Huo Congzhi seriously taught everyone to fight against aliens with Zuo Yin before the battle, Zuo Yin suddenly rushed to the position at shoulder to shoulder with Shen Mu, and everyone watched, and said loudly:

"No matter how captain Huo Congzhi is, he is also injured in a battle with a foreign race, and his realization of last night's battle can be called brave, no matter what, it is not Captain Luo's turn to point fingers at Captain Huo, sneering and sneering, and the disrespect to him is an insult to all the soldiers who fought last night!" Zuo Yin said excitedly, and his voice trembled slightly, but it only highlighted his true feelings even more. Before Su Shixin could speak, the expressions of the soldiers who were watching from the side had already changed, but most of them stood on Zuo Yin's side, after all, no matter what, it is normal for everyone to have conflicts and contradictions with each other on weekdays, but in the military, it is most taboo to hurt people with hidden arrows in the back, and Luo Shixin insulting an injured person in front of him is not a glorious thing after all.

Su Shixin's face was slightly gloomy, but when he saw the expressions of the people around him, he knew that this was not the time to study carefully, so he glanced at Zuo Yin deeply and said: "It is worthy of being a disciple of Dutong, and I hope to ask for advice from Zuo Xiaobrother another day, and I hope that I will not shirk when the time comes." After that, he angrily left with his subordinates, and when he left, many people in the eighth team looked back, and their eyes were full of curiosity and secret praise.

After Su Shixin and his party left, Shen Mu looked back at Zuo Yin, "You did a good job and guarded the honor of Captain Huo, in the next few days, we must cooperate sincerely, so as not to live up to Captain Huo." ”

Zuo Yin responded, after all, these **** get along well with the people of the tenth team, and they have recognized their position here from the heart, and on the first day of coming to the barracks, the master told him to treat the soldiers of the fire department as brothers, and now I see, although I can't treat them all equally, but for the people of the tenth team, he Zuo Yin will naturally try his best to cooperate with them on the battlefield, and give his back to them with confidence.

After breakfast, the ten teams went back to the camp tent, and now although the sound of shouting and killing outside the gate is shaking the sky, it is just that the dragon can not accommodate too many soldiers, and the soldiers need to rest, so the rotation system adopted, what the ten teams need to do now is to carefully analyze last night's battle, how to cooperate with the formation, how to kill each other most quickly against last night's thunder beast, and so on. Zuo Yin, Lao Xiao, and Shen Mu are the most experienced, and they lead everyone to reflect on last night's battle. In the sky above the tent, thick dark clouds make it difficult to tell the time, and without the concept of time, the day often passes quickly.

Near night, after the ten teams had dinner, they began to sort out the equipment, and Lao Xiao smiled on the side to help Zuo Yin smear the riding knife with knife powder, which played a role in removing moisture, and the southern Xinjiang was humid, which was one of the necessary methods to maintain the blade. Although Yang Zizhan was careful, he didn't know why he didn't teach Zuo Yin these small details during the battle in half a year of knife practice, but Zuo Yin thought in his heart, it is estimated that Yang Zizhan wanted to see if he could learn these basic things through the veterans, it was a test in disguise, Zuo Yin smiled bitterly in his heart, Yang Zizhan's eldest brother was really sharpened for himself, but there was also a faint respect in his heart.

"Okay, just wipe it with a dry cloth now, and I'll deal with it like this on weekdays in the future." Lao Xiao helped Zuo Yin deal with the riding knife, smiled and handed the knife to Zuo Yin, Zuo Yin hurriedly took it with both hands, stroked the delicate knife body, and thanked Lao Xiao at the moment, Lao Xiao waved his hand again and again, "This is just something that will naturally understand after living here for a long time, it's nothing, Zuo Xiao doesn't have to thank me for this." ”

Lao Xiao's honesty caused others to chuckle, and someone teased: "Lao Xiao, you are so good to Brother Zuo Yin, don't you want to accept Brother Zuo as your son-in-law?" ”

"That's it, I heard that Lao Xiao, your daughter is very smart, how about it, why don't I let Lao Li compete with Brother Zuo."

The teasing continued to sound, and Lao Xiao made a big red face in this, but after all, they are brothers who have been together for a long time, Lao Xiao opened his mouth and counterattacked: "You guys, don't beat my daughter's idea, my Lao Xiao is such a child in his life, and he will still count on his daughter to support his old age in the future, you boys, all of you are flamboyant, don't be delusional." The others laughed in unison, and the atmosphere was brisk.

Zuo Yin was also amused by Lao Xiao's defense, but in this atmosphere, people laughed loudly, perhaps because they knew that on the battlefield, the sword had no eyes, and life and death were unknown, so use this way to vent, Zuo Yin felt a slight cloud in his heart.
