Chapter 39: Two in the Night

"Iron Rider, let's go, go and see!!"

"Let's go!!"

It was the first time for a new soldier who had just joined the army to hear such a movement, and it was the first time he heard the sound of iron hooves like a sea of mountains, so he was very excited.

After all, most of the new soldiers who enlisted in the army were the children of civilians, and they usually went to the county seat, and they could only see some Qin officials riding horses back and forth.

They had never seen this army of iron horsemen before.

"Yan, let's go check it out too!"

"Let's go!"

"Anyway, I'll wait for nothing, and I'll be idle if I'm idle, so it's better to take a look together."

Several teenagers looked at Bai Yan and spoke one after another.

They all know Bai Yan's personality, and he seems to be a little withdrawn,

They didn't like Bai Yan very much before, because they felt that Bai Yan was a coward, but when they practiced today, they saw Bai Yan wearing a suit of armor and exercising, and he looked sweating profusely.

Regardless of whether Bai Yan was really afraid of death or not, but today Bai Yan insisted on wearing a set of weighted armor to practice with them, which really made them look at them differently.

"Let's go!"

Qi also dragged Bai Yan and followed those teenagers towards the main gate of the camp.

Bai Yan smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything, he had seen the world-famous Qin State Iron Horse, and he was still an elite. But he hadn't seen the Iron Cavalry either.

However, along the way, unlike the excitement of Qi and several other teenagers, Bai Yan found that the other elderly soldiers in the Lantian camp had vaguely worried faces.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan frowned.

This is the Lantian camp! Their expressions. I must know what it means that the Iron Cavalry army is coming.

"Is there going to be a war?"

Bai Yan was puzzled.

Even if there is really a war, the Qin people are happy and the Qin people are warlike, how can it be ......

It's Zhao Guo!!

No, it should be said that he is afraid of Zhao Guo Li Mu.

Bai Yan thought that a few years ago, the Qin State was defeated by the Zhao State several times, and even two years ago, together with General Fei and others, they were also defeated by the Zhao State in that battle.

Although those iron cavalry elites did not tell how many casualties were killed and injured in that battle at that time, it is not difficult to imagine that the faces of those iron cavalry elites can be so embarrassing, even the elites under General Fei's command, I am afraid that most of them were killed and wounded.

Bai Yan knew that maybe this was the reason why those soldiers were worried.

Zhao Guo Li Mu.

A name that makes Qin people talk about it and think about it.

"Look, look!"

"Look, it's all iron horses!"

Outside the main gate of Lantian, a new soldier looked at the iron cavalry army outside the camp, and they all showed shocked expressions.

It was the first time they had seen an army of Iron Cavalry in person.

Looking at the thousands of war horses, a young man's eyes were hot and his face was yearning.

"It's like being one of them."

A teenager said involuntarily.

And this sentence also speaks to the hearts of all the new pawns.

It would be nice if they could become Iron Riders too. Although it is dangerous, when you go back, it will definitely be extremely majestic, and it is estimated that the women in ten miles and eight villages will take a high look.

Night falls.

Bai Yan lay in the tent, where he slept, but unlike before, tonight's tent was lively, but there was one person who was very quiet.

This is the first time Bai Yan has seen him, who has always been more lively and cheerful, from Shen Shi to the present, he has not said a word.

Bai Yan didn't know why Qi had been silent since he saw the Iron Cavalry Army.

In the tent, the other teenagers were talking about the iron cavalry army they saw today, and their words were full of excitement.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yan pushed the Qi next to him and asked in a low voice.

This is the first time that Bai Yan has taken the initiative to care about others except for his eldest brother Yu Shou, after all, Bai Yan has no friends in the village since he was a child.

When he came to the Lantian military camp, he was the first one and was willing to talk to him. When he was not in the tent, he was also the one who helped him to lead the sword and armor.

Now that he found the abnormality of the Qi, Bai Yan asked.

"Come with me!"

In the darkness, there was a very small voice, and then Bai Yan saw a black shadow get up.

Seeing this, Bai Yan also got up.

The other people in the camp didn't care when they saw someone walking out of the camp, thinking that Bai Yan and Qi were just going to solve the emergency.

The night enveloped the entire Lantian camp.

Bai Yan followed Jue, and the two came to the open space where they practiced, and found a random place to sit down.

Quiet all around.

He looked up at the stars in the sky.

"I want to be an Iron Rider!"

Jue said softly, under the moonlight, his face was full of yearning.

Bai Yan smiled. He also thought that something was wrong with Jue, and his feelings were the same as everyone else, and he also wanted to be an iron knight.

Bai Yan didn't feel strange about Jue's thoughts. After all, after the other people in the camp saw the iron cavalry today, they were all yearning.

It's no surprise that he also wants to be an Iron Knight.

"Yan, why did you enlist in the army?"

Jue asked, Bai Yan is obviously a child of a family, why did he enlist in the army.

"Me? I want to go back with fame. ”

Bai Yan glanced at Qi, and then looked at the stars in the sky.

"I have a loved one who is waiting for me."

The corners of Bai Yan's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

When he heard Bai Yan's words, he turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and when Bai Yan mentioned that relative, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Jue knew that the 'relatives' that Bai Yan just said must be the most important person in Bai Yan's heart.

"That's great!"

Ju was a little envious, and then looked up at the starry moon.

"My parents are the only son of mine, so I want to do exercises in Lantian for a year, and after serving another year as a soldier, I will go home to farm."

He muttered, as if recalling what his father had told him months ago before he left the village.

Bai Yan listened to Jue's words and nodded.

Bai Yan knew that Jue's parents wanted to be a guard after two years of service. Every year after that, you only need to go to a certain city to serve in the military for one month, and the rest of the time you can farm at home, and only when the Qin State needs a large number of conscripts, the guards will be conscripted.

The Qin State served until the age of fifty-six, and the unknighted were sixty, but when Shang Ying formulated the Qin law, he put cultivation first.

After all, the two countries are fighting, and the grain and grass needed by the army are also sky-high.

These are all mentioned by the teacher, and after too long, Bai Yan doesn't know if he is wrong, after all, he used to be in Linzi in Qi State, and Qi Country is not interested in saying this.

"You should listen to your parents."

Bai Yan said.

If it was at the beginning, Bai Yan still thought that in life, he always had to work hard, and it was still good to make a contribution.

But now that he knows his family background, Bai Yan knows what it means for Fang Caiqi to say that he wants to be a cavalryman.

After hearing Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan.

"My parents told me about a family affair."

Jue said, his eyes a little evasive, a little shy.

"From that village? How big? Are people beautiful? ”

Bai Yan also laughed, and couldn't help but tease, who would have thought that when everyone in the camp was still chatting about the women they had seen, Jue already had a fiancée.

If Liang Lang and the others don't know about this, they will be surprised.

After all, everyone in the camp knew that Jue's family background was not particularly good, so they didn't expect that Jue's parents would actually fool Jue into a family affair.

"Hey~! I haven't seen it either. ”

Ju grinned.

"Yan, I don't want to let that woman be wronged when I marry that woman in the future."

Qi took a deep breath and glanced at Bai Yan. Explained the reason why he wanted to be an iron knight.

Seeing those iron riders today, he thought that it would be great if he could become an iron rider in the future and go home to marry that woman.

Hearing this, Bai Yan looked at Jue, perhaps at this moment, Bai Yan could understand why Jue wanted to be an iron cavalry soldier so much.

Jue looked at the stars in the night and said softly.

"Yan, you said that when I go home, I will be an iron cavalry soldier, how majestic it should be."
