Volume 1 The First Test Chapter 43 The Essence of the Soldier

So the boy has been going north, days of rainy weather, what keeps appearing in the eyes of the young man is the ruins, is the farmer's pastoral that has been trampled by the horses, is the desperate and sluggish eyes of the villagers, and some villages are unpopulated, there is a fire in the heart of the young man, burning, those visual impacts, the young man can't bear to face it again, ready to go directly to Neiqiu.

Neiqiu County is the northernmost county in Xinzhou and the northernmost county in Dachen, bordering Dayan, and is also the most turbulent county in Dachen.

Stepping on the post road, I saw scattered homeless carts but luggage, dragging children and daughters in the drizzle to the south, indescribable depression, people were surprised to see him, but they all remained silent.

After walking for a short time, I heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind me, and then I heard someone shouting: "Idle people are waiting for the roadside, and a large army is passing." The young man looked back and saw a ten-man cavalry squad galloping towards him, with a small pennant on his back and the word 'Tan' written on it. The young man thought that this should be the exploration of a certain military horse, and he didn't know if the reinforcements from Yuzhou in the western part of Dachen had arrived, so he subconsciously touched the token given by Uncle Liuhuan.

The young man flashed on the side of the road, waiting for the horse to pass by, the horse team galloped by, but one of the horses turned back, a young sergeant wearing a cuirass, a sword hanging from his waist, a bow and arrows on both sides of the horse's ass, a dark face, very shrewd.

The young sergeant was originally very vicious, but when he saw that it was a young man, he restrained himself a lot, and asked, "Everyone is going south, why do you go north?"

Since it is a horse detective, he can interrogate all suspicious people, etc., and the young man bowed: "I want to go to Neiqiu!"

The young sergeant suddenly had doubts, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Neiqiu, don't you know that Neiqiu is fighting? Neiqiu still has more than 200 miles, will you go alone?"

The boy knew that the interrogation was justified, and continued to explain: "I know, but I have something. ”

The young sergeant's eyes were close to the young man, his right index finger curled up, put it to his lips, and with a sharp whistle, the others who had already run out of the country grabbed the reins and turned their horses back. The young sergeant did not relax, faintly holding the bow and arrow, the young man had a feeling of being pointed at by the arrow, and the hint of the other party was obvious: Boy, don't want to run, don't want to move.

"Since you are going to Neiqiu, is there anyone you are looking for? Who is it? Say it quickly!"

The young man was really helpless, he couldn't say anything, and there was nothing wrong with the other party's interrogation, so he wouldn't have taken the post road if he knew it.

"I wanted to join the army, but when I saw that the villages and fields were trampled on by foreigners and the people were displaced, I wanted to go to Neiqiu to serve as a soldier. A thought suddenly popped up in the young man's heart, and he replied loudly.

Several cavalrymen gathered around in an arc, in a vigilant posture, and one of them took a bow and arrows, pointing directly at the young man, and when he could see the young man's weak body and pale face after illness, the tip of the arrow hung down slightly.

"Haha," as if listening to a joke, the young sergeant smiled: "You are wearing a small body, and you still want to be a soldier, don't be funny, go back, haha, brothers, go!"

The young sergeant heard the obvious Zhongzhou accent of the young man, and his heart was half relieved at that time, and a sense of closeness poured out from his heart for the enthusiastic and aspiring young man who was interested in joining the army, and he no longer worried about him, and decided to continue to explore the way.

"Come back, little brother, it's not safe here, and Qiang Rong is often haunted. The young sergeant shouted, "Ride!" and a group of men began to gallop again.

The boy scratched his head and continued to move on, no, he really went to be a soldier. Since you have chosen to be alone, you can't have companions, you can't have comrades, that's karma.

In the first few days, the boy was controlled by the agitated emotions, did not deeply appreciate and feel lonely, think about it, not even be a soldier, the sense of loneliness immediately came to his heart, folded a willow branch on the side of the road, rubbed his hands softly, pulled out the white core and threw it away, took a smooth section to make a willow flute, put it on the side of his mouth and tried the tone, and slowly blew the flute sound heard in the Kuaiqiu Post Road that night, and the flute accompanied the weak boy in the drizzle of the post road.

Post road, drizzle hometown thousands of miles,

Youth, Liu Di Where is the return.

Less than half an hour after the group of scouts had passed, a team of five or ten people galloped past one after another, and no one questioned the young man anymore, and the scouts became more and more frequent.

Finally, I saw that the horses were galloping back, and the horses were all riding alone, holding the pennant in their hands. The boy pondered: Is it time for the army to arrive?

Suddenly, I saw a return exploration horse, galloping far faster than other exploration, and saw the young man shouting: "Hide!" Without slowing down, only four words have been rushed out of the horse, and the young man clearly saw that there were two carved arrows inserted behind the horse, and there were large red stains oozing.

Seeing this, the boy did not hide, but accelerated his pace and ran forward, at this time the rain gradually became heavier, the post road was surrounded by tall poplars on both sides, only a gray sky in the middle, the whole post road appeared gray and unclear, which could not affect the young man's vision, and the two horses retreated, the people and horses were injured, and the blood of the knight in the gallop spilled in the air and slid down, and the rain smashed on the bluestone slab, splashing red blood.

The young man's spiritual power was blessed on his legs, and the whole person flew like an arrow, and soon saw the scene of the battle in front of him.

The scouts in the military are divided into flying scouts, distant scouts, close scouts, and meteor scouts, each performing its own duties.

Flying scouts, generally in teams of two, disguised to the enemy area, no meteor scouts to transmit information, if they encounter valuable information, arrange for one person to return. Those who can be flying scouts must have a sense of the overall situation, be good at observing words and feelings, be good at disguise, and be smart and clever.

Distant detectives are generally released between 50 and 100 miles, mostly in disguise, lurking, in groups of three or two, usually one person observes, one person records, and one person transmits information to popular agents, and basically does not return to the base camp. The prospect has to detect the enemy's situation and assassinate the opponent's detective, making the enemy blind and deaf. A distant scout is like a kite, and a meteor scout is the string that pulls the kite.

Close probing is generally in the form of a patrol team, released 10 to 15 miles away, this is the basic detection distance of the troops, below this distance, once the enemy launches an attack formation, their own side can only be confused and slaughtered.

Just now, it was obvious that it was a close probe, and waiting for the close probe to encounter the other side could only show that the armies of the two sides were less than 20 miles apart, and both the enemy and us were facing tension, and the sound of horns and golden drums could be faintly heard.

The close probe of the two sides was entangled, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, the young man immediately reacted, the young sergeant just now is a physical cultivation, the realm is not high, just when he was about to make a difficulty, obviously his hands are still some distance away from the bow and arrow, the young man has a feeling of being targeted, this should be the momentum pursued by the soldier, and the advantage of the situation is one of the essences of the soldier.

Also, all the horses that were reported just now were all later, none of the ten close spies at the beginning returned, and the minimum discipline of close probes was to receive the enemy and report immediately, that is, to meet the enemy, the first thing was not to fight, but immediately someone reported back to the camp as soon as possible, the role was to warn, and those who returned to the camp at the second time should bring back relatively accurate information, and the role was countermeasures, but it could not be too late.

None of the first wave of Tanma came back, which can only mean that all of them were ambushed, and the young man still wanted to see the situation on the battlefield, but now he didn't have time to think about it at all, from seeing the first injured Tanma to now have at least half a burnt incense, and the young sergeant is in danger.

The young man's spiritual power was injected into his legs again, and as soon as his legs were forced, the person swept up from the ground like a flying swallow, flying over the treetops like a meteor, looking at the fact that it was nearly a hundred steps away from the edge of the battlefield, reaching the control range of the flying sword, and the magma fire spirit sword was blessed by the speed of the young man's flying, and it instantly came to the battlefield, and at the same time penetrated two knights wearing foreign soft armor, it can be said that the speed of the flying sword this time was twice as fast as Hai Dongsheng.

The flying sword castrated in an arc, pierced the throat of an alien and returned to the young man, who stood firmly on the top of the poplar tree, and the battlefield was in full view.

A total of thirty people were frozen together on the battlefield, and the young sergeant stood proudly on the spot, holding a bow and arrows like a full moon, leading but not firing, although he was hit by several arrows on his body, but it did not affect his deterrence of the surrounding Qiang soldiers. The arrow wound was not fatal, but it also immobilized him. There are seven corpses around him, and they seem to be supporting each other to resist the arrows for the young man in the middle, and two people are holding waist knives, pointing to the ground with one leg, staring at the side and back of the young man, which does not affect the young man's archery, and the three of them can defend each other's back, and the arrow on the young man's body is likely to be an arrow that cannot be avoided. If you do, your comrades will fall.

And then outward, there are ten war horses lying horizontally, there is a large green vine around the war horse, although the war horse is not dead, it is entwined by this vine, the branches are growing at a very fast speed, the four legs of the war horse have been completely bound by the vine, this vine also wants to extend all the way to the youth war zone, and is cut off by the left and right guards.

This is the reason why no one returns, not surrounded, but trapped, surrounded by nearly thirty Qiang Rong warriors who can still fight, and the corpses of more than eighty Qiang Rong soldiers are all around, most of them are archers.

At the other end of the post road, a middle-aged man with oil paint on his face, feathers on his head, and various bone ornaments on his chest, holding a staff half-raised, chanting words in his mouth, with his incantation, a wave of spiritual power spread, and the vines in the ground kept growing, growing vines from the bluestone slab, which looked extremely weird.

On the left and right of the wizard, a sword and shield hand is stationed to protect the mage from interruptions.

Just now, the three of them died suddenly, breaking the deadlock on the scene, and it was obvious that the other party had come to the monk to help in the battle, which made them seem to be unwilling, but helpless.

Previously, the Qiangrong centurion set up an ambush and arranged for the shaman to trap the ten-person team with vine magic, cover it with archers, and then let the swordsmen and gunners rush up, more than forty people against ten people, and it was a surprise attack, thinking that he would be able to completely annihilate this team and capture that important person alive.

Unexpectedly, at the same time as the sudden release of vines and the horses were put down, the ten-person squad was not the imaginary chaos, fleeing or fighting forward, but at the moment of rolling off the horse, they had pulled out the waist knife and held it in their hands, and with the momentum of rolling down, they quickly gathered together and dialed more than a dozen arrows covering it, although someone was hit by the arrow, but there was no doubt that this was a reaction to minimize the loss.

And the young sergeant held the bow and nine arrows in his hand at the moment when the horse fell, and rolled into the circle of his comrades by rolling the momentum, and did not avoid the arrows that were shot at him, he should have more important things to do, and he must do it, and if he didn't do it, the loss would only be greater, that is, shoot the arrows in his hand, and he can't let it, and avoiding it will interfere with his aiming and affect his rate of fire. By the time the team rolled and gathered, he had fired three arrows aimed at the three most threatening longbowmen.

When they stood up, only seven were still alive, and although the three comrades did not stand up, they also died in their defensive positions, and it was they who blocked the arrows that were fired at the man in the middle.

The seven people occupy their own positions and do not attack, they just want to ensure that on their side, there will be no arrows passing through, and if the blade cannot be blocked, they will block it with their bodies, and the person in the middle has no time to care about the life and death of his subordinates, because the best concern for his subordinates is to remove their threat, that is, to shoot the arrows in his hands steadily and quickly.

When the ambusher shot three waves, the man in the middle had already shot nine arrows, and only one of the ten longbowmen led by the Qiangrong centurion to set up an ambush was left, and the rest of the horse archers were suppressed by the momentum of the other party, and all of them hid behind the trees.

In the face of the arrows that were contained but not fired, every Qiang Rong soldier was shocked by the chill in their bones, because each of them felt that the arrow was aimed at their own, and they saw that every arrow shot by that person hit the center of the eyebrows, impartially!

First Liwei, then build the momentum, guide according to the situation, invincible, this is the essence of the soldier!
