Chapter 8: Task 3: After the Break (I)

The so-called old battalion infantry army is actually the family members of the 500 cavalry under the command of the five masters such as the lantern, they are either the brothers of the cavalry, or the sons and nephews, or the brothers and nephews of the wives and clans, according to the words of the lanterns, there are 300 elites.

However, after Long Thirteen saw it, he cut out the one hundred of the older ones, and let one hundred of them who were married leave automatically, and finally only one hundred teenagers were over fifteen years old and under eighteen years old.

Of course, the reason he gave was "hard training, and the vacancies of ravines and baits must be replenished at any time", in fact, as long as the cavalry is still there, it is not the turn of these people to fill the ravines and go to the ants to attack the city, but after Long Thirteen said this, most of them took the initiative to leave the barracks without his persuasion.

After leaving the barracks, they would not normally be driven into battle, but only when they were marching or defending the city, they appeared as "young men".

However, even if the hundred people left behind, not all of them were worry-free, so Long Thirteen could only recruit some more people, and after learning about Long Thirteen's approach, he also agreed to light the lamp, and he himself knew the combat power of those so-called "infantry troops".

Long 13 decided to recruit fifty people from the crowd that had nothing to do with the cavalry who had nothing to do with the cavalry who had followed the brigade to the county seat of Wubao, and recruited another fifty people in the county town of Wubao.

This includes Yuan Zongdi, who learned that the great benefactor Long Thirteen had become the sixth leader of the camp, Yuan Zongdi was also very happy, and joined in without the slightest hesitation.

The Ji Family Martial Arts Pavilion also followed to Wubao County, and Long Shisan decided to let the eldest apprentice of the curator teach the two hundred people the introductory kung fu, and teach them their queues, physical fitness, etc.

As an infantry soldier, there is naturally no salary, but you can ensure that you are well fed, and you can also ensure the supply of clothes, shoes and socks, which alone is quite good.

After Long Thirteen became the sixth master, he could receive ten taels of silver from the lamp every month, and he exchanged all of them for copper coins, and this time, the grocery store shopkeeper who also came to Wubao County did not charge him fifty percent of the handling fee, but actually gave a thousand copper coins for every two taels of silver.

Long Thirteen invited the eldest apprentice of the Ji Family Martial Arts Hall to teach the introductory kung fu of spears and bows and arrows, and Long Thirteen still paid enough according to the usual practice.

Later, Long Shisan learned that the so-called Ji Family Martial Arts Hall did not have any children and nephews of Shanxi martial arts master Ji Jike, but it was just a martial arts hall opened by one of his apprentices under his banner.

After taking Wubao County, they lit the lamp and assigned ten five-strength infantry bows to the old battalion, plus the ten they already had, two hundred spears, and twenty infantry bows, which were all the weapons of the infantry army of the thirteenth old battalion of Long.

As for the armor, it was naturally none, but as the sixth leader of the battalion, he was given a complete set of leather armor by lighting the lamp.

After completing the second task, the simulator did not appear in a hurry to arrange a third task for him, so Long 13 trained his soldiers while wandering around Wubao County.

There is a city god temple in the middle of Wubao county, there is a small square in front of the temple, which can accommodate thousands of people to gather, it is estimated that it is the place where people in the county town hold social dramas or major sacrificial activities, after lighting the lamp and taking the city, naturally some people in the city have been arrested.

In addition to setting an example, the thief army, who was born as a peasant, naturally would also arrest and kill some people in the city who were extremely angry, so as to make the vast majority of the ordinary people in the city return to their hearts.

Such things are presided over by Zhao Jiu, the second master, and even Long Thirteen can't be heard of, but he is only eighteen years old, and he is still a teenager, and it is natural to watch the excitement, so he also squeezed in to watch.

I saw several rows of "criminals" kneeling on the platform in front of the temple, most of whom were officials, wealthy people, and scoundrels in the city.

These people Long Thirteen didn't have any good feelings, but one of them caught his attention.

The man was about seventeen or eighteen years of age, with a stout build, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tattered sheepskin jacket and a white turban, and like all the poor people at this time, he had only a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

Unlike other people who cowered and knelt on the stage in fear, although this guy knelt, he raised his head and chest, looking not afraid at all.

Long 13 hurriedly asked a cavalryman who seemed to be maintaining order, and the man happened to know Long 13, so he said: "This guy is very hateful, he was a poor man who herded sheep outside the city, and when the soldiers of my battalion went out to collect firewood, he caught a sheep from him, and he killed him."

"Later, he knew that he had caused trouble, so he hid in the mountain, and later the three masters and the five masters worked together to capture him, and this guy was very strong."

"What's his last name?"

"Who knows? However, the villagers in the neighborhood call him Bai Sanwazi, it is estimated that his surname is Bai, and he has three lines in the family, but there is only one father who collapsed in bed in his family, and he learned that Bai San was in trouble and died that night"

Long Thirteen frowned, and secretly thought: "Although the military discipline at the head of the lamp camp is not bad, it is not a good man or a woman, whether it is a rich family or a poor person, anyone who evils the camp will be killed, and now the great feud between Bai San and the camp will be concluded immediately."

"But he is also about to be killed, and having a grudge or not is a blink of an eye, alas, ......"

Just thinking about it, two horses flew in the distance, one of them was the "flying leopard" Qi Yizheng, and the other was not very old, less than twenty years old, but looking at the costume, it was obviously a leader in the rebel army.

As soon as the flying leopard arrived, he said to Zhao Jiu: "The second master, this is Feng Shuangli, the head of the camp of the eight kings, saying that it is inseparable from this white three, and the camp of the eight kings is just on the mountain opposite Wubao County.

"Feng Shuangli?"

Long Thirteen's heart was shocked, "If this person is Feng Shuangli under Zhang Xianzhong, the identity of this white third baby is about to come out, no, he can't be allowed to go to Zhang Xianzhong!" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked back, and when he walked to the county office, he arched his hand towards the leader of the guards who lit the lamp and walked in with his legs raised.

As soon as he walked to the place where the government office was, he heard the sound of a warbler and a swallow in the backyard, mixed with the sound of Zhao Sheng lighting a lamp, and Long Shisan hesitated as soon as he walked to the door of the second courtyard.

"Everything has a fate, forget it, maybe this white three fate is destined to belong to Zhang Xianzhong"

Just as I was thinking about it, the simulator box suddenly appeared.

"Dragon Thirteen, your third mission is coming"

"Complete the task after the break, and ensure that the people and horses of the old camp of the lantern camp cross the Yellow River safely"

Long Thirteen couldn't help frowning when he saw it, "The old camp is only two hundred people, or is it two hundred people who have just started training, can they cover the thousands of people in the old camp to cross the Yellow River?" ”

"Even if the Yellow River will freeze in a few days, whether it is Ai Wannian or Cao Wenzhao arrives, don't say that these two hundred people, even if all the young people in the camp come out, they are not opponents."

He said, "Impossible."

The simulator did not refute, but continued to say, "This is the third big mission, you can get the brigade to cross the river before the officers and troops arrive"

"The first small mission under the third mission is to patrol the whole city, you will meet a mysterious person, and then trigger the hidden mission, remember, this mission is very important and will allow you to improve your skills"

Long Thirteen was about to retort a few words, but the simulator quickly disappeared, he cursed secretly, and thought, "Bai San's body is just right to come to the infantry army, so he should pull down his face and beg for the master."

coughed lightly, "Big boss, see you at Dragon Thirteen"

"Oh?" , Zhao Sheng's voice was lazy, "Come in"

After Long 13 entered, he saw a pavilion in the backyard - although he claimed to take care of the old camp, in fact, Zhao Shengyi's personal affairs were all taken care of by his cronies and the head of the guards, He Sixian, so he didn't know what shape this backyard was.

He Sixian used to be Zhao Sheng's scholar, the same age as Long Thirteen, and his eyes were quite unkind when he saw Long Thirteen, but Long Thirteen didn't think too much, and nodded when he saw him.

"Meet the Big Boss"

Long Thirteen gave a salute to bending over and clenching his fists, and when he saw that he was the only one, he said the matter of Bai San directly, but as soon as these words came out, Zhao Sheng waved his hand, "This matter is not good, then Feng Shuangli is the favorite general of the eight kings"

"Among the thirty-six families in my Yan'an Mansion, in terms of fame, it is natural that Bu Mud, Zijin Liang, Chuang Wang and others are the biggest, but in terms of combat power, there are still two kings and two generals, and the eight kings have opened their mouths, how can I refuse?"

"Besides, the old battalion is really in trouble, it has its own cavalry to take care of it, and there are ravines and baiters, so why are you worried? You just take care of the old camp and all the heavy things."

"Yes"

Long Thirteen left the county government in a daze.

As soon as he walked out of the county gate, as the cold wind blew, he finally understood his true situation.

"He is just a chess piece that lights a lamp to fulfill his promise of rewards and punishments, in terms of combat power, he is far inferior to Whedeng and others, in terms of connections, he is even worse than the four masters, maybe in his eyes, he is not as good as his personal army leader"

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, and walked around the street casually, and thought of the task arranged by the simulator.

"Mysterious figures? Hidden skills? Are you really in a virtual simulator world? ”

"But the county town of Wubao is also five or six miles away, and it takes an hour to walk around, and the population is more than 10,000, who does the ghost know who is the mysterious person?"

The county government happened to be in the southwest corner of the city, and after thinking about it, he still walked along the street on the edge of the southwest city.

After walking for a long time, he had almost visited the entire city, including taverns, shops, and blacksmith shops, but he still had no clue.

In reality, it's not possible to keep talking to someone in a tavern like in the game, and then get a message, but it's much more difficult.

At this time, he had already returned to the City God's Temple Square, the ceremony of killing all the evils in the city presided over by Zhao Jiu had already been completed, the ground was full of headless corpses, and a row of wooden shelves had also been erected in the square, and dozens of human heads were hanging there.

A group of people were bold, still pointing around the corpses and human heads, and naturally there was no Bai San in them.

"That's the county order Zhou Shiqi, that's the garrison Sun Shoufa, that's ......"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and when he heard the three words "Sun Shoufa", Long Shisan suddenly thought of something, but he couldn't remember what kind of character it was.

Then he pulled one of them and asked, "Is that Sun Shoufa?" ”

The man pointed to a bearded man and said, "That's it."

"How so?"

"Master Jun, that Sun Shoufa was born in Wuju, and he became a garrison at a young age, and his first stop was in Wubao County."

"Young? How old is he? ”

"He is in his early twenties, but he grew a beard when he was eighteen years old, and he is known as Sun Beard, and he is very brave."

Although he looked closely, he saw that although the man was full of beard, there were faint wrinkles on his forehead.

"It's not surprising that some people have beards when they are young, male hormones are vigorous when they are young, but I have never heard of forehead wrinkles in their early twenties, but life is full of strange situations, and it is not surprising that there are one or two such characters."

After a slight pause and a moment, he left.

After the Ji family martial arts hall moved to Wubao County, under the arrangement of Long Thirteen, it also occupied a place to continue to open the martial arts hall, because many of the cavalry in the lantern battalion were the apprentices of the curator, he could go all the way in this business.

And this martial arts hall was just opposite the City God Temple, and Long Thirteen saw that there were still lights inside, so he walked in.
