Chapter 248: The Iron Horse Soldier Returns
In the southwest corner of Yongsi City, there is a school field with an area of more than 10 hectares, surrounded by lush canopy forests, separated from the city's houses and trade markets, as if it is a small paradise.
This school field is the location of the garrison before Yongsi City, in the battle to capture Yongsi City, the defenders of Yongsi City did not even have time to close the city gate, they were driven straight into the moon dragoon, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, one directly entered the city lord's mansion, and the other met the defenders in the school field.
After a completely one-sided battle, the Moonswinging Dragoon won the proud record of destroying 700 enemies, seriously wounding 400, and capturing 900 people at the cost of zero casualties, and successfully seized control of the entire Yongsi City. After that, this school field became a temporary garrison for the Moon Dragoon.
Shi Zhiyi had just passed through the woods when a feathered arrow embedded with a glittering steel arrow was inserted into the crack in the stone half a foot in front of his feet, and the tail of the arrow inlaid with cloud goose feathers was still trembling on the ground due to the powerful impact.
"Tell me the name of the comer, the military plane is heavy, and no idlers can enter!" A cold, emotionless voice came from a watchtower sixty feet away, and with the feather arrow on the ground that shot into the crack in the stone, there was no doubt that as long as someone dared to take another step, the next feather arrow would pass through his chest mercilessly.
Shi Zhiyi stopped, looked up at the watchtower in the distance, and a rare smile appeared on his face in recent days: "Brother Zhiqi, you are on duty today?"
The figure on the watchtower was obviously stunned for a moment, and then it took less than ten breaths to get down from the nearly six-zhang high watchtower and run in front of Shi Zhiyi, a pair of big hands grabbed Shi Zhiyi's shoulders tightly like an iron hoop, and said excitedly: "Xiaoyi, it's really you!
Before Shi Zhiyi could say anything, the sergeant named Yu Zhiqi had a loud voice that covered half of the school: "Xiaoyi is back! Xiaoyi is back!"
Hearing this shout, countless figures suddenly poured out of the originally empty school ground, like ants smelling the sweetness of honey, and instantly surrounded Shi Zhiyi on the inside and outside.
"Xiaoyi, it's really you kid! I haven't seen you for three years, and you've grown so tall!"
"Is Kyoto fun? How is it better than our Yunqi City? Why did you come back alone, didn't you bring a princess or something?"
"I heard that you won the championship at the Lanchun Conference? Good job, you didn't disgrace our Yunqi City! Those Beigong families and Xi families don't deserve to lift our shoes!"
Shi Zhiyi looked at the familiar faces around him, and a burst of warmth surged in his heart. He joined the army at the age of fourteen, and as an ordinary member of the Moon Dragoon, he followed everyone to fight in the north and south on the Moon Hidden Grassland, and formed a deep friendship.
Among the Swinging Moon Dragoons, Shi Zhiyi was the youngest and weakest, at the beginning, his identity as a young city lord was kept secret from others, so in the team that has always respected strength, there are many people who question how such a drag oil bottle entered the Swinging Moon Dragoon.
However, in the following time, Shi Zhiyi gradually won the recognition of the straightforward men of the Moon Dragoon with his brave battlefield performance, demonic growth speed and approachable temperament, and everyone in the team began to like this little brother who was less than half their age from the bottom of their hearts, and left him with the best position when he set up camp, and always took care of him when he fought, which not only gave him the opportunity to kill the enemy and practice, but also always beware of accidents.
When Shi Zhiyi left the Swinging Moon Dragoon, his colleagues only knew his identity, but after a year of life and death, whether Shi Zhiyi was a young city lord or an ordinary civilian, there was no difference between these righteous men, and the only identity they identified with was that Shi Zhiyi was their colleague, their brother, and an eternal member of the Swinging Moon Dragoon!
In fact, every city lord of Yunqi City has to go through this process of joining the army, on the one hand, he hones his martial arts and courage in the fight of real swords and guns, and on the other hand, he also gains the trust and recognition of every ordinary sergeant through life and death again and again.
Among the six guards and one horse in Yunqi City, the experience of the moon dragon riding is indispensable for every city lord, in addition to the six guards, one more will be selected for one to two years of training, such as Shi Zhiyi's father Shi Huaichuan was the dragon Zhangwei who entered, and he also met Jin Mancang, the commander of the later Eagle Qiongwei, there.
When Shi Zhiyi and these brothers who had not seen each other for a long time hugged and greeted each other, the crowd that was originally crowded together like a swarm suddenly separated to both sides, and a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and slightly white temples walked towards Shi Zhiyi in the crowd. His steps were extremely steady, but strangely enough, the thick cowhide boots stepped on the hard ground of the school field, and did not make any sound, and the distance taken with each step was exactly the same as if measured by a ruler.
Shi Zhiyi couldn't help but get excited when he looked at the middle-aged man who was approaching him, and although the middle-aged man's knife-like resolute face still looked calm, the ripples in his eyes showed that his heart was obviously not as calm as he appeared.
"Master Lezheng!" Shi Zhiyi stood in front of this middle-aged man, habitually wanting to raise his head, but found that he was now as tall as the other party, and even slightly exceeded, this feeling made him feel a little strange, but the familiar face and familiar look of the other party immediately pulled him back to those passionate days.
This middle-aged man is Le Zhengzhan, Shi Zhiyi's mentor in the year of the moon dragon ride, his nine-star moon chasing archery, superb riding skills and familiarity with the storm crossbow all come from the middle-aged man in front of him. At the same time, Le Zhengzhan is also the only one among the Swinging Moon Dragoons who knows Shi Zhiyi's identity, and while serving as his mentor, he has also been secretly protecting this future city lord, at least allowing him to avoid two life and death crises.
Le Zhengzhan is the captain of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion of the Yao Lei Battalion among the five thousand cavalry battalions under the Swinging Moon Dragoon, but in Shi Zhiyi's eyes, the role he plays is not much different from his father.
"It's the peak of dawn, and it's finally not the strength of the bottom. Le Zhengzhan's words caused a small commotion in the crowd, when he left the Moon Riding three years ago, Shi Zhiyi's strength was still in the middle of the marrow washing, and now it has just passed three years, and he has risen to the peak of dawn like a comet, although he knows that he is the young city lord, but the speed of this strength improvement still shocks everyone.
Shi Zhiyi straightened his waist, clenched his fist in front of his chest with one hand, performed a military salute of the Swinging Moon Dragoon, and said loudly: "Swinging Moon Dragoon Shi Zhiyi, come to report!"
