Chapter 40 Yinzhou Sand Sea

Yinzhou is located in the west of Suzhou, north of Yumen Pass, is an important pass in the northwest of Xiliang, 260 miles to the north is the southwest border of the grassland, with not as important as Ganzhou, Suzhou, but it is a city that must not be lost, once it falls, the entire western part of Xiliang will be exposed to the grassland iron cavalry, so such a small city of only 80,000 people, but stationed in Xiliang 30,000 soldiers.

However, although Yinzhou is a strategic location, there is little fighting.

Xiliang is bitter cold, and Yinzhou is the most bitter cold place in Xiliang, every winter, not to mention dozens of civilians will freeze to death, this is just early winter, even the soldiers with tough bodies are wrapped in thick cotton clothes, not to mention the soldiers standing sentry, standing in place for an hour, the whole body is about to swing.

Yinzhou is located in the middle of the desert, there is no town within a radius of 100 miles, but all the people who have some financial resources have moved to Suzhou, and the young and strong people in the city have also enlisted in the army, and the rest are the poor and old people who can afford to burn a coal block in a day.

Yinzhou really has no oil and water at all, and the grassland soldiers are not fools, and they will not come to Yinzhou every time they send rangers to plunder, so there is generally no war in Yinzhou, but when the war is together, it will be a big war.

At this time, the defenders of Yinzhou had all returned from the plastic side and entered the city to station. And in addition to these 30,000 soldiers, there were also 5,000 new troops.

After five days of fast travel, most of the recruits were very tired, even some of the better ones rubbed their legs and stomachs from time to time, not to mention Xu Liangsheng, whose legs and feet were not very good.

Although Xu Liangsheng was able to relieve the pain on his legs by using internal qi, he was not a master of anti-voiding, his internal qi was exhausted on the first night, and he was traveling quickly, so he had no time to meditate and recover, so he had to walk hard, not to mention that he was carrying a ninety-nine-pound peach blossom behind him. If it weren't for the caress of many well-wishers, Xu Liangsheng would probably have to fall behind.

finally entered the barracks, Xu Liangsheng didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, threw the long box behind his back, and fell asleep while lying on the box.

In his sleep, Xu Liangsheng felt as if someone was shaking him, Xu Liangsheng didn't care, he was too tired, turned over, and continued to fall asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Xu Liangsheng sat up in a daze, saw that the people around him were still asleep, and was about to lift the long box lightly, and found that there was another person who used his long box as a pillow and slept soundly.

frowned, Xu Liangsheng was a little disliked, it was not that he was hypocritical, he always felt that this peach blossom did not want to be touched casually, although there was a box, but he was not very comfortable in his heart.

But when I think about it, I am relieved, and I don't blame others, the tent is so big, and my box is so long, it really takes up some space horizontally.

Slowly pulling out the long box, Xu Liangsheng walked out of the camp tent on his back, and was greeted by a cold wind, which made Xu Liangsheng shiver.

"It's really unlucky. Muttering, Xu Liangsheng took a few steps forward.

It was not yet dawn, and Xu Liangsheng couldn't figure out what time it was, but he didn't feel sleepy anyway, so he opened the long box, picked up the peach blossoms, and practiced.

When he was in the palace, in addition to condensing his internal qi and assisting him to raise his gun, his cheap master only taught him one trick before leaving, called "Out of the Dragon".

It's quite nice, "the gun is like a dragon, and the momentum is like a shock." But in Xu Liangsheng's view, isn't this "out of the dragon" just a straight stab with a gun? The only difference from others is that when this gun is stabbed, the tip of the gun carries Wu Gang.

But after all, it is taught by the master, and it is practiced with peace of mind.

About two hours later, Xu Liangsheng heard the sound of the drum to get up, so he put away the peach blossoms and walked into the tent.

In the tent, everyone was getting dressed, and they were a little surprised to see Xu Liangsheng walking in, and there was a bit of banter in their eyes.

Putting the spear on the couch, the man who had slept on Xu Liangsheng's box before whispered to Xu Liangsheng: "Don't blame my buddy for not reminding you, yesterday's recruit training, you didn't come to the five thousand recruits, and after a while, the captain will definitely be difficult for you, but some of them will suffer." ”

Looking at this person's gloating expression, Xu Liangsheng shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter.

Xu Liangsheng looked like this, this person showed a little sympathy, and said in a low voice: "Don't take it seriously, my brother joined the army the year before last, and there was a guy who didn't go when the recruit was training, but he was unlucky." At the beginning of the recruit's training, these lieutenants were worried that they had no prestige, and they beat forty military sticks and didn't get out of bed for five days, and then I heard my brother say that that guy got up earlier than anyone else!"

Nodding, Xu Liangsheng gestured and stretched out his hand: "Thank you." ”

When the man saw it, he smacked his lips and laughed: "Hey, I'm still a particular person, my name is Xu Baitian, so I'll salute you, and when the military stick is over, I recognize you as a friend." ”

All the 5,000 recruits were assembled, and surprisingly, the captain in charge of the training of the recruits did not mention that Xu Liangsheng had not arrived yesterday, but just sent his subordinates to distribute the 5,000 sets of armor as usual, and ordered all the recruits to change them immediately.

Weighing the armor in his hand, about a dozen catties, it was not very heavy, and after passing through the heavy armor of the spear cavalry army of forty catties, Xu Liangsheng did not feel uncomfortable wearing this "light armor".

After that, weapons were distributed, all of which were straight knives three feet long with two fingers wide, and a one-inch-wide blood groove was engraved on the body of the knife. As soon as he held the hilt of the knife, Xu Liangsheng, who was already a little uncomfortable, was even more surprised, although the blade was narrow, it was not light, not to mention that it weighed twenty catties, which was heavier than this armor.

"This knife is called the Lancet, and my Yinzhou Qingfu Army uses this weapon. The leading captain shouted, and then said loudly: "On the first day of today, if you don't practice anything else, raise your sword." ”

Sighing, Xu Liangsheng said in his heart how can martial arts practice start with raising weapons, can't there be some other tricks? Besides, this knife may be a bit heavy for a normal person, but for Xu Liangsheng, who is playing with a ninety-nine-pound spear, it is really a little light, and I am afraid it will not be useful to lift it for a few hours.

The leading captain walked down from the formation and shouted: "Raise the knife, also hold the knife, go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as the person is not dead, the knife cannot leave the hand, it is all clenched by Lao Tzu, whoever does not burst out of the green tendons in his hand will beat the fifteenth army stick." ”

As soon as they heard the fifteenth military stick, everyone immediately used the strength of their whole body, for fear that the leading captain would not be able to see the green tendons on his hands.

The leading lieutenant was very satisfied with what these people had done, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone felt a thick soreness in their arms, and many recruits with poor physical strength had their arms swaying, just like Xu Bai, who reminded Xu Liangsheng before, standing beside Xu Liangsheng at this time, the knife was a little unable to hold.

"Why don't you have anything?" Xu Bai gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Liangsheng, who had no difficulty, a little puzzled.

"I've practiced. Xu Liangsheng didn't say much, and gently spit out two words.

Xu Tiantian was just about to say something, but the inspector happened to walk here, and when he saw the two of them talking, he shouted: "You two, what are you doing?"

Xu Liangsheng was okay, Xu Bai's hands trembled in fright, and the long knife fell to the ground, making a jingling sound.

The people around were all attracted to the past, looked at Xu Baitian, and said in their hearts: "This guy is unlucky." ”

As the so-called gun shoots the first bird, especially on the first day of recruit training, whoever dares to speak is afraid of being taken out and beaten by the patrol sergeant.

What's more, at this time, he was practicing holding a knife, and this guy's knife had fallen, and he definitely couldn't run away with a military stick.

"Drag it down, two people, one twenty sticks. The lieutenant didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered people to drag them away.

A few patrol soldiers were just about to drag the two of them down, but the captain narrowed his eyes, saw that Xu Liangsheng's arm didn't even tremble a little, became curious, walked to Xu Liangsheng's side, and asked, "Have you practiced?"

Nodding, Xu Liangsheng said, "Hmm." ”

"If you have practiced, you will be able to speak, and you will be able to violate military discipline?" the lieutenant was stunned and shouted loudly.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Xu Liang said in his heart whether this person was sick or not, and what was the connection between before and after.

"Hmph!" the lieutenant snorted coldly and said angrily, "Don't you speak, do you?"

When the people around looked at it, they immediately felt that this person must not have a good life in the future, so they asked the leading captain to write down his name, and it was probably over.

"Xu Liangsheng. This time, Xu Liangsheng didn't call himself a Xiaosheng, looking at people, he obviously wanted to make a name for himself, and he didn't have to give him a good face.

"Xu Liangsheng ......" muttered, the leading captain pondered, and said: "The Xu Liangsheng who didn't come to the general's lecture yesterday?"

Immediately, someone gasped, good guy, this person is the one who didn't go yesterday? I silently burned incense for Xu Liangsheng in my heart, I hope Xu Liangsheng can get through this difficulty safely.

"You...... Follow Lao Tzu, no, come with me. The captain pointed at Xu Liangsheng and turned to leave.

The gloomy captain walked through the crowd, and the recruits who passed by felt a hint of murder.

This murderous aura comes from Xu Liangsheng.

Yesterday's training for recruits, only Xu Liangsheng did not come, and many captains and lieutenants said that they wanted to rectify this person, and the general said: "'Arrayed' the Xu army division of the 15th army, Lao Tzu did not dare to move." This sentence is so sour, and these people under him also know that Xu Liangsheng, who was scolded by them before, has arrived at the barracks.

Although I don't know why Xu Liangsheng, who has become a guest of the palace, came to Yinzhou as a small soldier, but since he came, can you still enjoy your happiness?

The one-man plan lost the face of the three armies of Xiliang, and the captain who was walking in front at this time really wanted to cut off Xu Liangsheng's head with a knife.

My sergeant cannot be disgraced to death.

When he arrived at an open space outside the school grounds, there was no one around, Xu Liangsheng slowly said, "The general wants Xiaosheng to be on the head?"

The lieutenant with his back to Xu Liangsheng turned his head and scolded: "You sour Confucian, you have lost the reputation of my Xiliang army, what if you take a head? The general blames it, and Lao Tzu is worth a head!"

As he spoke, the lieutenant slowly pulled out the long knife in his hand and pointed it at Xu Liangsheng's door.

"Let's try it?" Xu Liangsheng is not the poor scholar who was crushed by Yan Ming's leg bones, and he also has a lot of dead souls on his hands, since he wants his life, he has to fight to find out.

The arm was slightly bent, the long knife in his hand stood sideways, Xu Liangsheng secretly operated his internal qi, and a faint light appeared on the long knife.

"Give Lao Tzu his life!"
