"Twenty times!"

The two veterans were dumbfounded, and they never dreamed that there was such an expensive drink in this world? I can't imagine that this young guy is so bold!

After sniffing deeply, the two veterans almost drooled...... The fighting man on the battlefield, who doesn't like this cup of things?

The two of them cautiously took a sip and enjoyed it, and then the two gray-eyed veterans quickly put away the wine, saying that they would share it with a few other friends at night.

The one-armed old soldier smacked the hot and mellow on his tongue, pinched his beard and smiled: "Song Dutou's good wine is much more fragrant than silver, hehe...... Let's go, I'll take you to pick out some of the best knives and guns, do you have any archers? Although there are not many good bows and arrows, I can still get twenty or thirty of them together......"

Song Wen was overjoyed and thanked him: "If I can really find some good equipment for my little brothers, I will send ten altars of this wine to the old brothers......

The one-armed old army was shocked...... "You, you are really rich!" ”

A bunch of keys were carefully taken out of the arms of the one-armed old soldier, and then the two old guys led Song Wen and the others to a sturdy warehouse. The two-armed veteran took the key, first wiped the rusty and dusty copper lock, and then wasted some strength to open the lock and push open the heavy wooden door.

A thick smell of moldy grease wafted across the face, and rows of wooden shelves were lined with hand knives and large ring knives with handles wrapped in oiled paper. There are also bundles of gun heads, and in the corner of the wall are wooden sticks with handles separated from the gun heads.

The one-armed old soldier looked around and smacked his lips...... "It's a pity, the weather here is too dry, and the handle of the gun looks fine, but in fact, it's all dry and cracked inside." If someone smashes it with a heavy weapon, it will be broken...... If you want to bring some tips with you, it's a good idea to replace them with good sticks. ”

Another veteran soldier happily held the wine bag, and suddenly glanced at the saber on Song Wen and An Chun's waists...... "Huh? Where did you two get this knife in your next life? This is not the official hand knife of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a bit like a saber of the Northwest Tartar! ”

Song Wen nodded: "This is the saber that I asked the blacksmith in the village to specially build, with a thick back and a narrow blade, and a larger arc, it is most suitable for chopping on a horse."

The one-armed old soldier looked at it and shook his head disdainfully...... "The Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, this thing looks like bells and whistles, and it is a waste of life to hold it in foot combat......"

An Chun frowned when he heard this, and said, "But we have less than fifty people, and we have defeated more than a hundred thieves with this kind of saber and round shield!"

The old soldier pouted: "I've heard of it, what kind of thief is that?" That's a bunch of outcasts! After slaughtering a few brave leaders, did the rest scatter or kneel and beg for mercy? To tell you the truth, you gathered more than 100 people and only beheaded more than 20 ...... I just looked down on you, old man, which shows that you have not done the dirty thing of killing good people and risking merit. If you encounter a real warrior who is the king of the mountain or a real bandit who has been killed all the way, a group of teenagers who fight on foot with this saber will ruin their own lives! ”

An Chun was very unconvinced, pouted and said: "In the past few places that have rebelled, I heard that the forbidden army was sent to quell the chaos, and now your Xiang army is afraid that even the thieves will not dare to fight!"

The old man next to him said angrily: "It is a bad idea of the imperial court to recruit displaced people into the army, and we are military households who have been in the army for generations!" How do you compare to them? Little doll, do you dare to practice with us, let us see how good you are as a little native soldier? ”

Song Wen's heart suddenly moved, and he arched his hand and said: "My village is full of bitter children who have been taken in over the years, and there are spear and stick instructors and Tartars who teach horsemanship, and they are real veteran military leaders who have not experienced the battle array!" Several old-timers, since the younger generations have brought their little brothers to become the head of the township soldiers, they will have to suppress bandits and even help the court in the future...... Can the old-timers help us and pass on the experience of the battle formation? The remuneration is good, we made some silver money by doing business in Bianliang at the beginning, and there is no shortage of silver! ”

The gray-eyed old soldier was simple-minded, and said happily when he heard this: "Then you can ask the right person, I'm afraid that only our yellow head has really been on the battlefield in this huge Taoshan County, if it weren't for him...... I'm afraid that my brother has been killed by those thieves a long time ago, and even the original commander praised it, if he could join the forbidden army and go to the northwest to fight, Huang Tou'er is afraid that he would have accumulated merit and been promoted to the head or promoted to the ......"

"Xu Sangou! No nonsense. ”

Song Wen asked curiously, "Where did Senior Huang go to the battle array?"

Lao Huang looked at Song Wen and smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, I escorted a batch of grain and grass to Fengxiang Road to the Western Army, but on the way, we encountered the Western Xia Party thieves entering and looting, we had a total of 500 Xiang troops, and we escorted the convoy for more than 70 miles!" Of the five hundred, more than a hundred remained...... It was easy for the Tiefeng Mountain Fortress to bring people out to escort us into the fortress to hide, but at night, thousands of party and dog thieves came to besiege us, and we were unlucky......"

"And then?"

"Later, Na Cha Zhi also killed the red eyes, and all of our Xiang troops were incorporated into the forbidden army and fought on the wall! I kept it for seven days...... More than 200 of the 300 forbidden troops died, and the 500 Xiang troops when we set off survived 60 in the end! ”

Xu Sangou, who was next to him with gray temples, sighed...... "My family is also a generational military household, and my brother was still the head of the grain team at that time!" Brother Huang is three years older than me and five years younger than my brother...... At that time, I watched my brother being shot through the stomach by an arrow from the party dog, and the arrows of those party dogs were quenched with gold juice poison...... Burned! ”

An Chun next to him was terrified when he heard this, this ...... This is the battlefield! This is the real slaughterhouse...... Exterminate a group of homeless bandits, beat some bandits and bandits, and compare with this is just a child's house!

Song Wen's face was full of seriousness, and he bowed down again with An Chun respectfully...... "It turns out that it is an old-timer who has really seen life and death with the Tartars of different races!" The little Song Wen gave a gift to the two old-timers......"

When Song Wen came to this, Lao Huang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "What is Song Dutou doing?" You're polite, we're just some thieves fighting with the army, tattooed and inferior! ”

A sentence reminded Song Wen, and when he looked up, there were slightly blurred tattoos on the foreheads of the two old Xiang soldiers, and Song Wen knew that this tattoo was now not only in the Xiang Army in the Great Song Dynasty, but also those thieves and criminals who were exiled! The saying that a good man should not be a soldier was passed down in this era......

If you don't treat soldiers as human beings, how can soldiers fight to the death for you? This is a big bad habit, which not only makes these soldiers feel as inferior as criminals for the rest of their lives, but also rejects those who have the heart to serve the country!

Since then, there has been no loyalty in the army......

Song Wen shook his head ...... "Defending the country and protecting the people from the wind and rain, how can it be erased with a few tattoos?" Loyalty is loyalty, and no one can erase it! An Chun ......"

"Brother!"

"In the future, prepare a portion of money and food for several old-timers in the arsenal, and it will not be left every year, and there will be ten altars of fire to burn the spring!"

"Yes, brother!"

The two old military households looked embarrassed and shirked again and again...... Song Wen said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, our silver was all earned from the rich and powerful people in Bianliang before, and I originally helped a lot of heroes and orphans left in the army, even if these money and food are owed to us by those powerful people."
