"You kid!"

Lin Jingzhi was amused by him, slapped his shoulder lightly, and continued: "If a man wants to repay the country's kindness, dying on the battlefield is a good end." Well, the young man's ambition is good! If you want to reach the peak, you must endure the pain, the northwest is miserable, the army is boring, and it is not easy, you can come to me if you have any difficulties. ”

He lost his parents, he was alone, in the dead of night, there was no one he missed behind him, and other soldiers could occasionally receive one or two letters sent from thousands of miles away, and he would have nothing.

Gentle and hidden care.

His eyes lit up, with the youthfulness and brightness peculiar to a young man, and he replied loudly with a military salute: "No, General! I think life in the army is very good, and I will overcome difficulties, and I can do it!"

Lin Jingzhi nodded, with some relief in her smile, "I've really grown up a lot." ”

"I'll be like a general in the future!" was what he wished, with a little oath.

Lin Jingzhi didn't feel that he was capable enough to become someone else's ideal, and he didn't know how much influence he had on this child, so he only thought that his ambition was to be a general, so he smiled and encouraged: "Very good, a man should have the ambition of a bird, and he must work hard to do it!"

Although the meaning he wanted to express was wrong, he didn't explain it again, and nodded seriously, "I will, General." ”

It's good to have something to do.

Lin Jingzhi was originally going to the school to practice his hands, and when he saw him packing up his weapons, he asked, "What weapons do you like?"

The army is divided into cavalry, infantry, archers and other barracks according to the combat ability of weapons, and the recruits must master some of them, and when they are divided, they will be assigned to the barracks that they are good at.

For him, he naturally wanted to be like the generals he followed, so he naturally replied: "Sword, I like to use a sword!"

"I've been practicing for a lot of time since I joined the army, show me my hands?"

Although he was particularly serious and diligent in his practice on weekdays, he couldn't help but get nervous in front of the general.

However, such an opportunity was really rare, and he picked a sword from the neatly stacked pile of weapons, and danced a sword move as seriously and attentively as he could.

Lin Jingzhi stood aside and watched carefully, his expression did not move, he couldn't see likes and dislikes, bringing an invisible sense of oppression, which made him more and more bottomless, and he almost had to bite the bullet to continue to grasp the sword.

Hurriedly ended the sword pose, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the general's eyes, for fear of seeing the general's disappointed eyes, and before he heard the comment, his mood was already depressed, "General......"

Lin Jingzhi pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Those who use swords, the sword intent must be light, I see that you use the sword subconsciously to make a slashing action." ”

His head was lowering and his face was flushed, and he was a little restless.

"Well, although you like to use a sword, it is a little inappropriate to go against your preferences, but if I suggest it, you use a knife better than a sword, and your arm strength is great, and practicing it will definitely be of great benefit to Kung Fu, come, take this and try it, if you don't like it, then continue to practice the sword, although practice like this."

Go, the swordsmanship can only reach the point of being decent, and there may be no big achievements, but if you like it, it's enough. ”

The general handed over a long saber, with a wide back and a thin blade, a heavy blade, and a curved handle, which was a commonly used saber for cavalry, and the action of handing the knife was somewhat solemn in the sunset that was about to sink in the west.

He raised his head and stared wide-eyed, it turned out that the general was thinking about him?

Experienced in the battlefield and rich in experience, you can know whether it is suitable or not just by looking at it, so as to give him the best advice, I hope he can improve, it is really ......

The throat seemed to be blocked, and a lot of words came up, but I didn't know how to talk about it, and finally I whimpered lowly, like a Qiang flute outside the plug crying in the remnant sun.

The general was startled, and the knife in his hand hesitated to take it back, muttering softly: "I like to use swords so much...... Really, sorry ......"

"No, General, I want to use a knife! Please teach me!"

He reached out and grabbed the blade of the knife, the palm of his hand was clearly cold, and he felt as if it had a temperature, ironing his heart.

Lin Jingzhi was stunned, and didn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind, Wen Yan replied: "It's not a problem, it's just that I only know a little bit about knife techniques, and I need you to study it more carefully." ”

"Yes!"

The general began to patiently explain to him, "This is a swallow horse saber, that is, commonly known as a long horse saber, the way of use is also slightly different from the ordinary knife, you see, this knife handle is curved, whether it is on foot or on horseback, the attack is not easy to get off, you can use the speed of the war horse to sprint to form a strong impact force to drive the saber to complete the tactical actions such as chopping, so the requirements for equestrianism are also very high, you have great strength, tall and tall, good at flexibility, riding a horse has a certain advantage, as long as you can use it, you will be able to achieve something......"

The general's face is still refined in the northwest wind and sand, more resolute than when he went to Jiangnan for disaster relief a few years ago, his voice is low and majestic, but his eyes are like the March twilight willows in Jiangnan.

He listened carefully to the general's words, firmly remembered them, and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

The palm of his hand clutched the cold hilt of the knife, and he never separated from the knife from then on.

The mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The sunset in the distance shone on the military flag swaying in the wind, and there was a faint sound of neighing of war horses and the sound of Xiao Xiaoshuo's wind, magnificent and solemn.

When the sun sets and the night is coming, the crescent moon is like a hook, the vicissitudes of the dock city and the towering city wall stands quietly in the night wind, it is the most solid fortress of this vast fertile soil, on the sand behind the city wall, thousands of military tents are arranged smoothly and neatly lit up the lights, the military order is strict, the military camp seems to be silent, only the military flag hunting sounds, standing on the high city wall, looking to the rear, that is the thousands of people of the Chaoyue country guarded by the soldiers, thousands of lights, bright as stars.

Suddenly, there were several loud sounds of hoops, the army was strictly disciplined, and the work and rest were punctual, and the soldiers listened to the sound of the flutes to convey military orders, and turned off the lights and went to sleep on time. (ps: I'm sorry to add a little bit again, the so-called 笳, jia, a sound, is ancient China.)

A kind of wind instrument of the northern peoples, shaped like a flute, from the northwest ethnic region, introduced into the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, so it is usually called "Hu Ji", because its tone is sad, penetrating power, it is often used to command operations and camp in wartime, so it is also called the sad pipe. It is often related to the war and the side plug, and it is very common in the side plug poems, so I didn't make it up blindly, and the number of words is not counted in the text, thank you. ）

Most of the people who joined the army at the same time as him were young people of the same age, and they were assigned to the same team, coming from all over the world, gathering in the northwest dock city, training together, eating and sleeping together, and forming a deep affection for each other day and night.

The army was boring, and the pastime in leisure time was only to learn from each other and talk about the world, and soon they became one, and they nicknamed each other, and called them close.

The first casual conversation, when he talked about the reason for joining the army, seemed to touch the most cherished dream in everyone's heart.

"I, I'm a rough man, so I don't say anything about defending my family and the country, because the general saved my life, so I came to join the army, and I want to be a soldier under him. The person who spoke had a thick beard, and he was clearly a young man in his early twenties, even if he shaved before going to bed every day, he would still grow a lot the next day, so he was also called a bearded by everyone. In the first two days when he first arrived in the northwest, he was a little uncomfortable, but the bearded man took the initiative to help take care of him, and he had the closest relationship with him, and his enthusiasm made people feel cold.

"Hehe, I heard the legend of the general, and I was so envious that I wanted to be a powerful person like him!"

"Yes!

"I heard that the general used to be a martial arts warrior! It's amazing, I'm so big and it's the first time I've gone far now!"

“......”

It has been a long time since the horn of the lights out, and the group of recruits are lying in the quilt of the Chase bunk, but the more they chat, the more energetic they become, although the voice of the army commander has been deliberately suppressed for fear of attracting the army commander's chat, but the gossip is still a little noisy.

He listened quietly, and then realized that he was not the only one who joined the army because he wanted to follow the general, many of them were willing to give up the privileged life of their hometown to come to the bitter cold northwest frontier, all because of the general, for a variety of reasons, even I heard that the general's wife is particularly beautiful, and if he becomes a soldier, he will definitely marry a beautiful wife like a general, but they are all the same, admiring the general from the bottom of their hearts.

In this turbulent world, people need heroes and thousands of soldiers to take up the burden of defending their homes and countries.

When he was in a trance, the bearded man sleeping on the right side stretched out his elbow and pestle him, and tilted his head a little, "Hey, Brother Dao, what about you?"

Because he suddenly applied for a change of training weapons some time ago, it is rare among recruits, after all, the long sword that has been practiced for a period of time requires great courage to start from scratch, and after he changed the knife, he quickly used it well, so everyone called him

Hu became a knife brother, with jokes and admiration.

He was silent for a moment and replied, "Because I want to follow the general for the rest of my life." ”

His answer was not much different from the previous answers, but the bearded man felt that his answer seemed to be extraordinarily solemn, as if he was telling an oath, and inexplicably produced a sense of like-mindedness.

This man was like him, and the bearded man laughed silently.

"Good brother, the two of us must join the Loyal Army together!"

The bearded man stretched out his hand from the bed and handed it to him, he laughed and shook his hand, and the chatter of the crowd did not stop, but his voice sounded firmly through the cacophony.

In the barracks, the best of the recruits are selected, and an elite army under the direct command of the general is selected, and the tasks performed are more rigorous and more dangerous, but it is also a more rare opportunity. After that, he will always follow Lin Jingzhi from birth to death, fighting in all directions, and his reputation in the army is like thunder, and people also regard this group of people as General Lin.

"Okay!
