In the Wumeng Mountains, the camp of the Ming army.

The soldiers on duty are patrolling, the leaders are cooking, and those who are not on duty are resting quietly, everything is in order.

Although it was late autumn, it was neither hot nor cold, just in time for a nap. After lunch, the veterans rolled up their bedding and spread it on the ground, and fell asleep, and after a while they began to snore.

But there are also those who can't sleep, such as Yu Min.

He is seventeen years old this year, and like Mu Chun, he is a first-time soldier in the army. But Mu Chun is the son of the Hou grandfather, and he followed the general as a personal soldier, he is just the son of an ordinary military household, so he can only be a big soldier.

Before coming, his mother told him that he must be more careful when he goes to the battlefield, and don't rush ahead, otherwise he will die on the battlefield like his father, and he will not even find the corpse.

Yu Min was brought up by his mother, and he listened to his mother since he was a child, so he was full of fear of the battlefield. But being a soldier is the mission of all military children, and if he doesn't deserve it, he has to be his younger brother, the problem is that his younger brother is only twelve, so he can only be a soldier honestly.

In fact, he has always been okay before, he grew up in Qiu Badui, and he is very accustomed to military camp life. And Xiaoqi Zongqi knows that he is a martyr's child, so he also takes care of him.

But as he approached the battlefield, he began to grow more and more uneasy. Especially yesterday, I heard Li Laoba scare him and say that there will be a war tomorrow, so let him confess his last words.

He was very annoyed and scolded Li Laoba why did you curse me, Li Laoba said that because the people who died on the battlefield were all recruits like you.

This completely frightened him, he didn't sleep all night last night, and when he stood guard this morning, the whole person was in a trance, so angry that Wang Xiaoqi kicked his ass and told him to go back to make up for sleep.

But he still couldn't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I could only lie there and stare at the sky.

Just when he was finally dazed and about to be a little sleepy, a loud shout suddenly exploded above his head: "Choose Feng!" ”

The soldiers who were originally lying crookedly and snoring sounded on the mountain, when they heard this, they all jumped up, raised their hands high and signed up: "I, me, me!" ”

"Me, me, me!"

"I, choose me......" Some people haven't opened their eyes, but their mouths are not left behind at all.

"It's all quiet! Did Lao Tzu enter the goose farm? The officer scolded angrily.

"It's all quiet, it's all quiet!" Zhang Baihu hurriedly told his subordinates to shut up, and then said to the middle-aged officer with a smile: "It's still Qi Qianhu who is interesting enough, and he never forgets his brothers when there are good things." ”

"Nonsense, can I still lose my own people?" Qi Qianhu, a middle-aged officer, scolded with a smile, and said with a straight face: "I don't have time to talk nonsense, I'm in a hurry." There are 2,000 candidates from above, and 10 places for 100 households. ”

"Too little, right?" The soldiers shouted again, and Zhang Baihu hurriedly waved his hand to tell them to stop. Then he turned around and nodded and said, "It's a little less, or a thousand households will add ten." ”

"Add five at most, you can't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise there won't be one!" Qi Qianhu glared at Zhang Baihu.

"Oops." Zhang Baihu didn't dare to gain another inch.

"Do you sign up on your own or do you follow the old rules?" Qi Xiang asked again.

"Of course it's the old rules." Zhang Baihu said with a smile: "There are no bad seeds under our hands, they are all screaming to be elected as the front." ”

As he spoke, he turned back and asked his subordinates, "Are you right?" ”

"Of course!" The soldiers roared.

"Okay." Qi Xiang had already prepared, so he took out a handful of bamboo sticks from his sleeve and asked them to take turns to draw them, and those who drew the longest ones could be selected.

"Good guy, worthy of a thousand households, it turned out that I was going to give us fifteen early in the morning." Zhang Baihu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Learn a little, this is called the art of control." Qi Xiang smiled proudly.

The soldiers lined up one after another to smoke, and with a cheer of drawing the long lot, they immediately packed up, dressed neatly, and prepared to set off.

But more of it can't be drawn, holding the short stick in his hand, and scolding his mother depressedly.

Li Laoba even slapped his face with a big-eared scraper: "What kind of stinky luck is this, I can't pump it every time!" ”

As he smoked, he searched around, trying to see if anyone had drawn someone who didn't want to go, and exchanged it with him.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.

"Brother Niu, you've been there last time, so let it be to your brother this time." Li Laoba waved towards his own cattle flag.

"Last time, it's still last time, why did you still eat after you ate yesterday?" But Brother Niu hid the stick in his arms so as not to be snatched by him.

"I still expect to earn a hereditary hundred households for Lao Niu's family!"

"Alas, you have become the general flag, and I haven't even become a small flag." Li Laoba nodded with a sad face, and suddenly saw that Yu Min also drew a long lot.

Hurry up and get over there.

Yu Min over there is going to die of sorrow, others want to be elected Feng to make great contributions, he doesn't want to be, he just wants to live. Clutching the long stick in his hand tightly, he had a strong urge to pinch off a section of it.

Just as he was about to do it, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, which scared him.

"Shh was covered by the man and dragged aside, and Yu Min realized that it was Li Laoba's annoying guy.

"Boy, you don't want to be a striker, do you?" Li Laoba climbed his neck and whispered to him: "No need to deny it, it must be, I won't be wrong." When others win the lottery, it's like picking up a dog's head gold, and you're like seeing a ghost. ”

"It's okay, brother didn't scold you, I was scared when I was as young as you, just wait for another two years to be a soldier." It turns out that Li Laoba, who has a bad mouth, will also say good things when he is in need.

"This time, let my brother go for you, don't thank me, just remember my brother's goodness." As he spoke, he was going to stuff the short stick in his hand into him, and at the same time he was going to draw the long stick in his hand.

Yu Min was frightened by his shout, and he didn't recover yet, still maintaining the action of breaking the stick.

Therefore, Li Laoba twitched but didn't twitch. Pumped again, still didn't twitch......

"Hahaha, Li Laoba, look away!" Zhang Baihu saw everything in his eyes, came over with a laugh, pushed him aside, hugged Yu Min's shoulders affectionately and said:

"Lao Tzu said, there is no one under my hands! Although Xiao Min is usually a little cowardly, he will not be ambiguous at the critical moment! ”

"......" Li Laoba walked away depressedly.

Only then did Yu Min come back to his senses, handed the slip to Li Laoba and said, "You want you to take it." ”

"Stinky boy, I've learned to be pretty, who are you fooling!" Li Laoba thought he was teasing himself, but now he was even more depressed, he lay on the ground, covered his head with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "Give me a good fight, don't waste the opportunity." If you don't make a meritorious return, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

"I really ......," Yu Min stammered, "I really want to give it to you." ”

"You don't have to be afraid of him, that guy just has a bad mouth, don't take it seriously." Zhang Baihu had already helped him put on the armor with his own hands, and buckled the helmet on him and said: "But you really have to behave well, if you don't behave well, Qi Qianhu will definitely have an excuse to reduce our quota next time." ”

"Fuck off." Qi Qianhu scolded: "Don't arrange Lao Tzu there." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the fifteen Xuan Feng and said: "Hurry up and report to the Chinese military tent, Lao Tzu will go to the next one." ”

Yu Min had no choice but to walk to the Zhongjun tent with the other fourteen Xuanfeng under Zhang Baihu's eager gaze......
