Zhao Qian didn't expect that he would be assigned to guard the camp. With his cleverness, he could naturally see that this new task of the so-called caretaker camp was just another way of saying that it was idle. With the training that Zhao Qian had received, Zhao Qian also knew that the reason for this kind of guard was that he was worried that the tragic situation of Zhao Qian's troops would affect the morale of the army.

Everyone knew that Zhao Qian did not attack in vain, he went to a nearby village to exterminate the Mongols in accordance with the battalion commander's orders. After torturing the captives, everyone finally learned that the rich family in the village actually married his daughter to a thousand households here as a little wife. In the winter, the daughter returned to her parents' house with her husband, just in time for the Song army to raid Chang'an. Zhao Qian crashed into it and arrested Qianhu.

Qianhu's younger brother who sneaked out of Chang'an City led his troops to save Qianhu, Zhao Qian didn't know who he had captured, and under the surprise attack of the Mongol army, he killed Qianhu and occupied a high place to defend it. The strength of one platoon was not enough to form a complete defense system, and in the face of four times the enemy, Zhao Qian repelled the enemy's onslaught.

And the Song army, which learned that the Mongols had slipped out, sent troops to pursue the Mongol army and killed them along the main road, which happened to save Zhao Qian, who was besieged. However, more than half of Zhao Qian's platoon suffered casualties.

The current Song army is all under Zhao Jiaren, and the Song army has never suffered a loss in every battle with more than 1,000 participants. Although this time there was only a platoon in the battle, there were cases in which more than half of the participating troops were killed or injured after the battle. The division staff felt that it was better not to let other troops see the tragic situation of Zhao Qian's troops. This is also in line with the concept of organizational engineering. Losses that are too heavy will make other troops feel uneasy and prone to fear the enemy. The best way to do that is to transfer this force out.

Of course, nothing wrong with Zhao Qian and Zhao Qian's troops. Therefore, this arrangement is not aimed at Zhao Qian, but simply does not want to shake the morale of the army.

Zhao Qian didn't care about this. He already knew that more than half of his platoon had suffered casualties, and the biggest reason was not how good the Mongol army was, but because of all kinds of completely unpredictable things. The loss of the soldiers made Zhao Qian heartbroken, and what made him even more unacceptable was that the first squad leader, the second squad leader, and the fourth squad leader were all sacrificed.

The second squad leader was playing an outpost on the main road and was attacked by the Mongols and died. The fourth squad leader fell into the enemy's encirclement and died when he went to ask for help when the troops were entrenched. The distress signal that Zhao Qian saw was sent by the fourth squad leader. At that time, Zhao Qian didn't know that the rich Han family in the village actually married the Mongols, and it was the rich Han family who took the Mongols to copy Zhao Qian's back road.

The first squad leader blocked an arrow for Zhao Qian, and was shot by the Mongols near his collarbone, which didn't look like a fatal wound. Zhao Qian didn't expect that the arrow was coated with poison, and the squad leader was only hit by an arrow, so he couldn't save it. Zhao Qian has been having nightmares every day for the past few days, and it is basically the Mongolian who is preparing to shoot arrows at him with his bow and arrows. Zhao Qian in the dream knew that as long as he was shot with an arrow, he would definitely die. Then, Zhao Qian was woken up and couldn't sleep anymore.

A total of four warriors died under the poisoned arrows, and through the torture of the captives, it was learned that the younger brother of the slain Senhu should have used the poisoned arrows. This is also a thousand households, and it is said that he is also the grandson-in-law of Kublai Khan.

Just when Zhao Qian was living in a mess every day, the instructor came. Looking at Zhao Qian's appearance, the instructor sighed: "These days, your life is not easy. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qian felt that he couldn't listen to it at all. Or that he doesn't listen to anything.

"You must have thought about this battle many times in the past few days, and I don't know if you feel like you've figured it out." The instructor continued to ask.

Zhao Qian shook his head, he found that the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand. Although he knew that he should answer, Zhao Qian didn't want to say anything.

The instructor looked at Zhao Qian's appearance, he sat down on the marching bed, and said indifferently: "The troops have all been assembled, and they are about to launch a general attack on Chang'an." The troops feel that you have fought so badly, and they can't say anything but let you see the capture of Chang'an. However, I also have to tell you that the younger brother of Qianhu did not flee back to Chang'an, and you will not be able to take revenge this time. ”

Zhao Qian raised his head and glared at the instructor fiercely, and then lowered his head again. This sentence really touched Zhao Qian, and in his confused mind, only the desire for revenge was very clear. If he couldn't kill that enemy, Zhao Qian felt that he couldn't miss his comrades.

"I want you to retire after conquering Chang'an." The instructor continued.

Zhao Qian's body shook, he raised his head in amazement and asked, "Why?" ”

The instructor calmly replied: "I don't think you are a really good soldier now, and there is probably no way to improve yourself in the army." In that case, I don't want you to delay your progress because you only think about revenge. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Qian was stunned.

"I was very optimistic about you and thought you had what it took to be a good soldier. But now I think, maybe I'm wrong. Being a soldier isn't for you. ”

Zhao Qian listened to the instructor's words in confusion and lowered his head. If he had listened to the instructor before this war, Zhao Qian felt that he would probably happily choose to leave the army and return to the university to continue his studies. He never felt that joining the army was his life choice, although the experience of joining the army was not as boring as Zhao Qian thought, but Zhao Qian could only regard joining the army as his life experience rather than a life choice.

But with so many comrades-in-arms dying in front of him, Zhao Qian found that he didn't want to leave the army now. Raising his eyes again, Zhao Qian asked, "What does the instructor think I haven't improved enough?" ”

"I used to listen to official classes. We asked the official if he had ever been scared on the battlefield, and the official told us. How to live is your own business, and how to die is not your own master. Therefore, every time the official goes to the battlefield, he just tries to do his part, although he will also feel uneasy, but he can be at ease. I think that a good soldier who has experienced such an experience as you will naturally understand a lot, but I don't think you understand this. Zhao Qian, you were able to achieve such results in such a situation, which is enough to prove that you are a very good person. But you are probably not a good soldier, and if you are allowed to continue to be a soldier, you will be delayed. ”

Zhao Qian felt that what the instructor said was very reasonable, but it was a truth that he couldn't really understand. Although he didn't know what those really good soldiers could understand from such a bloody battle, Zhao Qian found that he had been a soldier for a few years, but he only understood that he himself did not understand war.

All the training he had received before had helped Zhao Qian survive the battle, but Zhao Qian found that these things were just formulas and standard answers to Zhao Qian's questions.
