Slender Horse Ridge, a northwestern border city.

For several months, Song Sansi, the lord of the city guard, was ordered to strictly guard the city defense, and he did not dare to slack off.

The border city is uncertain, and the people in the city have long been ordered not to go out without doing anything, and they are carefully living their own small lives.

The mutual market between Shangyuan and Huqiang for the convenience of life has also stopped intermittently. For no other reason, for some reason, there have been constant conflicts in the mutual market for several months, and the peaceful transaction will always be broken by a group of rampaging horse thieves halfway, and when everyone reacts, the goods have already been snatched away. They were taken by surprise and acted quickly, and at first glance they were professionally trained, and when they saw that the robbery methods were the work of veterans. They came and went, quite arrogantly. The mutual market supervisor is very passive and has no way.

It was later found out that these so-called horse thieves were all subordinates of Uharto's cousin, Umu Zige.

Shangyuan sent people to negotiate with him, but Uharto talked about him left and right, and blamed his own people and suffered losses. The envoy couldn't bear it anymore, and after being questioned, Uharto promised to investigate it strictly, but in the end it was still unsuccessful.

The mutual market was forced to close.

In fact, the robbery was originally instructed by Uharto to be tempted. After a few years of recuperation, he had 80,000 loyal and heroic cavalrymen under his command, all of them strong and strong.

The wealth and prosperity of Shangyuan have long been unheard of.

If you can drive straight into the possession......

Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.

Moreover, a hundred years of abyss is not so impregnable.

How many years can Shangyuan Weiguo General Li Zhun be a general? Even if he wants the horse leather shroud, I'm afraid some people won't allow it!

Well, time is running out, opportunities are always created by people, you create opportunities, and God will be on your side.

The border towns of Slender Horse Ridge and other places have been constantly harassed and sneak attacked.

However, in recent days, it has been exceptionally quiet outside Slender Horse Ridge, and there has been no provocation by Huqiang stragglers during the day, and there has been no sneak attack at night.

Something is wrong!

I'm afraid of demons.

Song Sansi ordered the soldiers defending the city to brace themselves and remain vigilant.

That night, the soldiers stuck to their posts and did not dare to be careless.

Yinshi, thirty miles away, Moon City.

A signal arrow swooped into the sky, and then a dazzling orange-red exploded in the dark sky, and a penetrating force tore through the heavily guarded mouth in the middle of the night. Then came the second, and then the third.

When Song Sansi received the report, he couldn't wait to crawl out of the house, climb the three-story platform, and watched in amazement as the light of the signal arrow exploded and ignited a little bit.

Moon City is under attack!

The situation is urgent!

Help!

That was the first thought that came to his mind.

On second thought, no, beware of turning the tiger away from the mountain!

At this moment, someone in the city gate defenders shouted: "What people! ”

Suddenly, a group of men and horses appeared in a clearing not far from the city, and the torches were lit, and the sound of "ho-ho" came from the light of the torches.

Defense! Meet the enemy!

This was Song Sansi's third thought.

……

On the outskirts of Wangcheng, Tieying rode the camp.

After reading the urgent battle report, General Li Zhun twisted his brows, did not speak, and handed it to several generals present to circulate it.

The battle report was fresh, and it smelled of wisps of gunsmoke.

A few days ago, Moon City fell.

Moon City is not large, with more than 10,000 people and 8,000 garrisons.

That night, Uharto's subordinate general Duhe led 20,000 troops to attack the city wall, beheaded the guards, and opened the city gate. Eight thousand soldiers resisted to the death and were defeated. After that, a fire broke out in the city, and the guard Chen Tian was killed in battle, and the people dragged their children and daughters to flee in all directions, howling, shouting, begging and wailing through the night......

The autumn night is cold, and the once peaceful and peaceful Moon City weeps blood under the bleak and pale stars.

Zhao Jiyuan, the deputy general of the Yanlong garrison who rushed to the rescue after receiving the news, also suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to return to retreat.

On the same night, Slender Horse Ridge was raided, and the guard Song Sansi defended with difficulty, and the city gate was damaged three times, and there were no major casualties. The two sides were still facing off before the battle report was issued.

"This is obviously Uharto's naked premeditation to contain Song Sansi while sneaking up on Moon City." Ye Xiao read the battle report.

"I have to say, Uharto is a general." Liu Xianzhong said.

"This battle has been fought! Let's teach him a lesson! Xie Huai said cautiously.

Only Yang Zhenduo did not speak. This person doesn't say anything, but often says it in one sentence.

"General Yang, what do you see?" Ye Xiao asked Yang Zhenduo.

"Uharto is not small-minded, brave and resourceful, and moves quickly," General Yang, who was in his early thirties, looked at his general and said word by word, "The general has met an opponent!" ”

As soon as Yang Zhenduo's words came out, not only Ye Xiao, but the other three people's teeth were a little painful.

Li Zhun smiled proudly and nodded.

That's right, when you meet an opponent in chess, it depends on who is better.

Uharto, do you think my blood is cold?!

As the day of the march of the army drew nearer, the generals and generals analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and the enemy in the main camp, discussed the operational strategy, drew up the battle plan, assigned combat tasks, and arranged personnel. Once the war begins, all kinds of situations can happen, and improvisation on the battlefield is crucial.

At the same time, Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er are also working overtime to make masks, the process is rigorous, and the progress is orderly.

In addition, in the past half a month, there have been two things that have affected Ji Shu's attention the most.

The first thing is Yu Qian'er.

The school field, enlisting in the army had a huge attraction to Yu Qian'er, he was very interested, and even had the intention of going crazy, which made Ji Shu very headache.

As a result, Yu Qian'er's expertise in playing tricks was brought into full play.

"Extinguishing Ming, I want to join the army, I have never been so concerned about one thing when I am so old."

"Isn't it, it's just obsessive."

"What do you think of my conditions?" Yu Qian'er looked at Ji Shu expectantly.

"Tall and mighty, unstoppable!"

Yu Qian'er patted Ji Shu on the shoulder excitedly: "Those who know me, extinguish the brightness!" Then he continued, "If you want to do it, you can do it, I want to be one of them!" ”

Literally every pore is full of hope.

Ji Shu stretched out his hand and shook it a few times in front of his eyes: "Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, and talk in your dreams!" ”

Yu Qian'er slapped his hand away: "Extinguish Ming, I'm serious!" ”

"I don't see it." Ji Shu said, "Becoming a Tie Ying rider, isn't your starting point a bit high?" Do you know where the door is for enlistment? ”

Yu Qian'er "tsk" a few times: "Haven't you heard 'Rather be a centurion than a scholar'?" What else is there to 'repay the king's intention on the golden platform, carry the jade dragon to die for the king', 'life as a hero, death is also a ghost male', a good man should have lofty ambitions! I will work with the Great General to kill the enemy on the battlefield for the Abyss. ”

"Good look—those made ones in this cage." Ji Shu said as he cleaned up.

Yu Qian'er saw that he was busy and busy, and he didn't care about freeing his mouth, so he had to temporarily settle with him for the day.

The second thing, Su Xiaofu.

Su Xiaohao had seen Ji Shu's handmade mask several times, and he admired his technique, and by the way, he also admired Ji Shu.

She felt that Ji Zhenming was a person, as if he had a treasure hidden on his body.

There is always fun and surprise.

That's right, it's fun and surprise.

In the camp, when the general rested at night or took a nap during the day, Su Xiaohao lit a soothing incense for him in the general's inner room to clear his heart and calm his nerves to relieve the general's fatigue. If the scent of soothing incense is absent, the effect is long. And when the general met with the generals to be busy, what she prepared for the general was a condensing incense.

After doing what should be done, Su Xiaohao came to the workshop and watched idlely.

After half a month of getting along, she has already touched the temperament of Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er, and she is still her cold teenager in front of them, but she has a lot more words than before.

Presumably the attraction among peers.

Su Xiaohao, the general's personal soldiers, was quite leisurely.

Yu Qian'er questioned his leisure:

"Little trouble, are the soldiers like you?"

Su Xiaohao raised his cold eyes, full of heroism, and asked briefly, "Which one?" ”

"It's idle! Don't you think you're idle? "Yu Qian'er is a little incredible.

"I don't know." This time, Su Xiao glanced at him, and said in his heart, where am I free, can I let you see this girl when she is busy?

"Okay, I didn't say it." Yu Qian'er no longer bothered about whether Su Xiao was idle or not, "Extinguishing Ming, I have thought about it, and when we finish this batch of masks, I will go to the army." ”

Speaking of which, he is still in the army.

It seems that Yu Qian'er is really thinking about it.

"Have you thought about it?" Ji Shu was no longer half-joking this time, but asked him seriously, "Are you sure it's not impulsive?" As you can see, the drill is already hard. ”

"I can handle it!"

"None of us have ever been to the real battlefield, but I also know that the battlefield is the real one without eyes and dangers." Ji Shu's tone was slow, and his eyes were sincere, "Going to the army means sleeping in the open air, and even not having enough to eat, being sick and hurting; Does it mean a long journey, tiredness, loneliness, confusion, or even despair? ”

After listening to Ji Shu's heartfelt words, Yu Qian'er was silent. It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but there is a blood burning inexhaustibly in his heart, and a desire to prove himself lingers.

In the middle of the night, he dreamed that his compatriots had died in battle, and in the dream he crawled on the battlefield strewn with corpses, and he wanted to cry and laugh when he looked at the tattered banner ridden by Tie Ying.

In the dream, he thought clearly: it is okay to die like this.

When he woke up from his dream covered in cold sweat, he stared at the roof in a daze, and his heart was afraid.

After I'm afraid—

Join the Iron Rider! The idea also took root.

Maybe I'll become a general. He thought.

If I could, I would have become a general!

Yu Qian'er nodded solemnly in the face of Ji Shu's question.

Su Xiaohao on the side sneered.

Yu Qian'er immediately felt that she was being ridiculed, and immediately glared angrily, and asked viciously, "What is your opinion?" ”

Su Xiaohao ignored his lust and inward-looking: "No." ”

It's none of my business, what do I have to say? Just laugh if you want to.

Ji Shu's head cramped: "That, Master Su, what if the general is sent there?" ”

Su Xiaohao snorted heavily in his nostrils and snorted a depressed breath: "No." ”

Want to take me? Thank you for your efforts.

"As soon as the two of you need anything, I just go to the quartermaster depot to get it immediately, and it is convenient to inform the two generals of their progress." This is the longest thing Su Xiaohao said.

She looked at Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er busy, especially the hands of Xuan Ming's fingers flying, and felt calm in her heart.

Choking on Yu Qian'er occasionally, and then watching Ji Xiaoming cramp on the side is always very pleasant.

The military camp is boring, and no one can deprive Su Xiaohao of this bit of fun.
