In the summer of June, although the sun had set, the sky was still bright, and the moon was already hanging in the air. When the sun sets, the heat dissipates, and the cool breeze blows, which is very cool.

Winter Dog rode on horseback, looking left and right at the marching procession, and his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of excitement. He is 20 years old this year, he has not yet married a wife, a mountain hunter in the east mountains of Macheng, his family only has two acres of thin fields, and the family usually relies on hunting, cutting wood and charcoal, collecting medicine and making some money to make some money.

Because of his poor family since he was a child, he has been stunted since he was a child, and his height barely exceeds the height of five feet two inches for recruits. The person is also thin, less than a hundred pounds, but the joints are very thick, and he has been hunting and working since he was a child, and he has a lot of strength. When recruiting, he was less than 100 catties, and he actually danced a 100-pound stone lock.

After training in the horse team for a month, not only did he not lose weight, but he grew a lot because of the good food in the camp. It used to be just a skeleton-like body, but now it has grown a lot of muscles, and its skin has become smoother. At this time, he was wearing a blue coat issued by the horse team, wearing a felt hat, and riding a tall horse, which was really incredible.

He was about to go to war, but Winter Dog didn't have much fear, he was more excited in his heart. He couldn't figure out why he wasn't afraid. Touching the bird gun on his back, the winter dog felt a little more excited.

During this period of training, he was personally guided by Mr. Liu Qi several times. Liu Qi's bird shot well, and within eighty steps, he basically didn't miss it. At first, Winter Dog was not used to this kind of firearm, cumbersome loading method, it took a long time to fire a second shot, and it was even difficult to hit.

However, according to Liu Qizong's teachings, he memorized the loading steps over and over again every day, and then after practicing again and again, he found that bird guns were not more difficult than bows and arrows. At first, he could only hit one or two shots out of ten, then three or four, and then finally one day he hit five shots out of ten, received a reward of five cents of silver, and was praised in front of the whole flag, and let him pass on his experience to the whole flag bearers, which made him really excited.

The rest of the dozen or so men of the Right Banner were all vying to ask him for experience, everyone wanted a reward, they all wanted extra rewards for chicken legs and eggs, and no one wanted to sweep the canteen and toilet. Since then, Winter Dog feels that life is very good, every day the clothes are not satisfied with his own washing, and there are birds who want to learn from him vying to help him wash, and even when eating, everyone will fight to let him a piece or two of meat. When he usually speaks, he has also become a dog brother one by one.

Winter Dog enjoys this feeling very much, and teaches the other bird players seriously.

Everyone's bird level is rising, but the winter dog himself is thinking more carefully. From five out of ten shots, gradually six out of ten shots, and seven out of ten. Now, he has been able to stabilize such a good result as six out of ten shots, and he is still firmly sitting at the top of the horse team's marksmanship list.

However, Liu Qi always has a good saying, now they are just dead targets, and on the battlefield, there is no dead target for them to fight, the other party will move, and will fight back, on the battlefield, ever-changing, knives and arrows are flying wildly, whether they can still maintain the usual level stably, it depends on everyone's psychological quality, of course, and luck.

Winter Dog prays for good luck on the battlefield.

Although there were only about fifty of them, and they were only bandits, they were twice as many as the thieves. Winter Dog hopes that he will have good luck, so that not only will he not suffer any accidental arrows, but he will also be able to bless him to shoot the thieves.

The reward for shooting a thief is twenty taels of silver, and if he can shoot a leader, the reward is forty taels of silver, and if he can shoot the leader of the bandits, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. He didn't think that he could shoot the leader of the bandits, he just wanted to shoot one or two bandits. Kill one for twenty taels, and kill two for forty taels. Last time he went home, he gave the family seven taels of silver, and then the family used five taels of silver to order a very good family affair for the eldest brother.

He is also twenty years old today, if he can shoot one or two thieves this time and get a reward of dozens of taels of silver, then he will be able to find a daughter-in-law for himself when he turns around, and even the younger brothers in the family, as well as the dowries and dowries of several younger sisters.

The horse under the seat walked very steadily, and after more than a month of training, his riding skills were a little bad compared to his excellent bird shooting skills. In fact, most of the team members have very average riding skills, and they can barely ride and run.

But fortunately, now the march will not require everyone to gallop, just a light gallop. However, with this war horse, he didn't have to carry the dozens of pounds of equipment on his body, which saved him a lot of strength. If he walked thirty miles with forty or fifty pounds of equipment on his back, he would probably be tired enough to choke when he arrived at the place. And now, after riding a horse for thirty miles, they can still maintain sufficient physical strength after reaching their goal.

The team traveled very easily, because Liu Qi had already sent out a few miles to explore the road at night, and he didn't have to worry about encountering an ambush. In addition, there are two family members of the flag general who patrol back and forth on the roadside on horseback, giving them peace of mind.

Along the way, they didn't even wear armor, according to Liu Qi's words, wait until they are near the destination to put on armor, and now save physical strength.

Thirty miles of road, not far away. There are war horses to walk, and everyone has passed the post house before dark.

"The whole team stopped advancing, rested for a while, fed the horses with dry food, water, and water, and then put on armor, checked the equipment, and from now on, entered a state of imminent formation, and everyone cheered up." From the front came the majestic order of President Liu Qi.

Winter Dog hurriedly jumped off the horse.

The left and right flags take turns to rest, one flag rests, and the other flag spreads out to be on guard.

In winter, the dog first took out a large cloth bag, filled it with some chaff, added some black beans, and finally added two eggs to it, and then put the cloth bag around the neck of the big yellow horse, and watched him happily eat the forage. After walking for dozens of miles, the big yellow horse was only slightly sweaty, it was really a good horse.

While stroking his mount, he opened the coconut scoop and drank a few sips of water, took a piece of cake and ate half of it, and went to the side of the road to relieve his little hands.

He began to take out his cotton armor, bright helmet, net boots, etc., and put them on the same, and finally put on all the face armor, throat armor, and arm guards, and re-examined his bird guns, gunpowder, and lead bullets.

Chief Cai Wu came over again and checked it himself.

At this time, another order came from above, telling them to keep watch for the people of the Left Banner.

After a short rest, the whole team set off again, and the atmosphere in the team became much more solemn.

The sky had completely darkened, and only a little bit of light remained, and the sound of frogs came and went. Winter Dog looked at the sky and said to the dog next to him, "Tonight is a good day, it won't rain, there won't be strong winds, but there will be clouds." ”

The dog is the same hand of the winter dog, and the relationship is usually very good, and they are all from the east mountain. His bird guns are good, and most of them are taught by winter dogs.

Gou Yu was not as calm as Dong Gouzi, he was very nervous, but he still opened his mouth and smiled, "It's good if there is no wind and no rain, otherwise we will run so far in vain, and I still want to kill a few thieves and get a reward of dozens of taels of silver." ”

"Follow me for a while, watch me move, and try not to think too much about anything else." Winter dog comforts her brother.

After traveling for a while, Dong Gouzi saw that the night in the team was not withdrawn, and reported something to President Li Bai and President Liu Qi. Then General Liu Qi ordered the whole army to dismount, leaving a few people such as veterinarians to watch the horses here, and the rest of the people carried equipment and began to walk up the mountain. All were asked to refrain from speaking loudly.

Winter Dog checked his equipment again, and some equipment such as tents were left behind along with the war horse. He was wearing armor, carrying a bird's gun, a long knife, a short sword, a gunpowder canister, a fuse, a buckshot bag, etc., and after carefully checking that there were no omissions, he tightened the bird's gun in his hand.

The team carefully touched the ruined temple halfway up the mountain, the moon was dark and cloudy tonight, everyone did not raise the fire, just bent down cautiously to move forward in the dark, and approached little by little.

When you arrive at the temple, you can smell the smell of wine and meat in the night sky. From afar, you can see the fire in the temple, and from time to time there is the sound of drinking and fist-fighting, mixed with a few women's wails.

"Prepare your hands and light the arquebus." Cai Wuchang whispered to the winter dog and the two remaining Wu Zhong hands.

Hearing the order, the winter dog hurriedly took off the entangled fire rope from his wrist, and then took out the fire fold and lit it. The Musketeers lit the arquebus, already signaling the beginning of the battle.

He had just lit the fire rope, and the night in front of him had already crossed the temple wall by a human ladder, and then the closed temple door slowly opened. Winter Dog didn't expect things to go so smoothly, they opened the temple door so easily.

"Quick, quick, quick, enter the temple and prepare in formation." Team Zhang always shouted in a low voice, and Zhang Gouzi ran towards the temple after Chief Cai Wu.

"What people!" A loud shout rang out in front of him, and the thief was answered by a sharp arrow.

Winter Gouzi saw that it was an arrow shot by Liu Qi, and an arrow hit the thief's chest. The thief fell, but before he died, he let out an exclamation, attracting the attention of the thieves in the temple.

In a burst of shouting, the thieves came out of the middle of the main hall of the ruined temple, and by the light of the fire, many of them could be seen rushing out shirtless, armed with knives and guns.

Suddenly the horn sounded in the night.

Winter Dog almost subconsciously knelt down on one knee, and at the same time opened the fire door cover, his hands were flat, and one eye was already squinted, locking on the target.

Because they successfully broke through the temple gate, Winter Dog was only about thirty steps away from the thieves who rushed out at this time, and behind the other party was the firelight, and his body was in full shape.

In previous training, he almost hit every shot at a distance of 30 steps.

The sound of the swan from the horn was not over, and the winter dog had already calmly pulled the trigger, and then the shirtless thief who was locked in his eyes exploded with a ball of blood on his chest, and in the dim firelight, he saw a painful expression on the thief's face, and then the whole person fell backwards and slowly fell.
