Chapter 6: Conscription
"Qiao Zixu, from Peach Blossom Village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Permission to pretend to be someone else for the first time, some lack of confidence, and speak a lot quieter than usual.
The veteran was furious and slammed the table, "Didn't you eat? Talk like a, a soldier like you is going to die in the first war, you know?"
Xu Xu held his head high and said loudly: "Qiao Zixu, Peach Blossom Village." ”
The veteran scolded and picked up the brush, did a good job of registration, compared it with the literature, and then pushed the literature and pointed to the back, "Go there and stand in line." ”
Permission to take the literature, to a group of rabble recruits eggs, permission to look at the recruits of the same age around him, different expressions, most of them bowed their heads and were silent, and a small part of their faces were full of excitement, some people were in a poor family situation, and they would never come out, but after becoming a soldier, if they were brave and good at fighting, and their luck was better, they might be able to mix up a look.
"Ouch, isn't this permission? Sent to the front line to die?" A yin and yang strange voice came, Xu Xu's heart sank, and he turned his head to look, only to see Zhao Dashao pinching his hands proudly and walking over directly.
Xu Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile, "I'm here to protect my family and defend the country, where can I come from without a country?" It's Zhao Dashao, who is so obese, I'm afraid that I want to go to the front line to fight, and I don't have this opportunity." ”
Zhao Dashao laughed, "To go to the front line is to send to death, what do you think is a good errand, but I will tell you today, Ben Shao is also here to conscript, but his body does not meet the conditions, and he has to wait for another three years." After speaking, he shook his head and shook his head, looking like a villain.
Xu Xu "snorted", not wanting to entangle with him too much, turned his head, Zhao Dashao pushed away a person next to him, and stood in front of Xu Xu, "I tell you, you will definitely die on the battlefield this time, because you will be the first person in this group to go to the front line." ”
Xu Xu stared at Zhao Dashao viciously, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, Zhao Dashao pretended to pat his chest, "Ouch, don't look at Ben Shao like this, Ben Shao is so scared, do you think Ben Shao will let you go so easily? If it weren't for Qiao Zixu's more vicious means, how could you be allowed to live today!"
"What did you say?" Xu Xu twisted Zhao Dashao's clothes. Several soldiers next to him waved their spears and shouted, "Stop." ”
Zhao Da Shao pointed to the hand of permission without fear, "Stop!
Xu reluctantly let go of him, and whispered hatefully, "What did you just say?"
"Hey, do you have to make it so clear? That day, Qiao Zixu said that he would find a way to let you come to conscript into the army, and then buy off those veterans, and arrange for you to go to the front line immediately, hey, permission, you should thank me for giving you the opportunity to sacrifice your life for the country, horse leather shroud......"
"Are you finished?" said Xu coldly.
"Of course I'm not done, after you die, I will take good care of your sister......"
Zhao Dashao really didn't finish this time, Xu Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and punched out, Zhao Dashao couldn't dodge, he was hit in the nose, blood gushed out, Xu Xu kicked out, Zhao Dashao retreated several steps, fell to the ground, Xu stepped forward, but was blocked by the soldier with a spear.
Xu grabbed the spear with both hands, his true anger was shocked, and the spear was cut off at the waist, and he had to kill this Zhao Dashao today, because he touched his bottom line.
Seeing this, the soldiers behind stretched out their spears and held on to the permit, making it unable to move, and a bright spearhead was pressed against his throat, oozing blood.
Zhao Da Shao got up in embarrassment, pointed to the permission and scolded: "Stinky boy, you are really impatient, you dare to beat me, and beat me twice......! I'm going to kill you today!" he said, snatching the spear of a soldier beside him and stabbing it straight up.
Seeing this, the veteran who had registered for the permit stepped forward and slapped Zhao Dashao's wrist with a slap, and with a loud bang, the spear fell to the ground. Zhao Dashao was about to get angry, but when he looked back and saw that it was him, he couldn't help but scold.
The veteran said in a low voice: "Zhao Dashao, you are enough, what are you calling a dead man? Kill someone in the street, who can protect you?"
Zhao Dashao calmed down at this time, "I was confused by this stinky cub, I'm leaving, explain your affairs, you can do it for me, and your benefits are indispensable." ”
The veteran nodded and watched Zhao Dashao leave, looked at the permission, sighed, and was full of regret, "Who are you offending bad? ”
Xu Xu remembered the last sentence that Zhao Da Shao said to him, and he didn't care about anything else, and shouted loudly: "I'm not Qiao Zixu, I'm Xu Xu, I'm Xu Xu, I'm only sixteen years old this year, and I haven't reached the age of enlistment! You can't ...... like this."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and the veteran saw that the permission was out of control, and made a look at a soldier, and the soldier understood it, and used a spear to pull it over, hitting the back of the head of the permission, and the permission ear rang, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and the footsteps of Qi Brush echoed in his ears, and when he looked up, the soldiers in armor were like a long dragon, stretching for miles, and there was no one to see in front and back, except for the herald "hurry up, hurry up".
"Are you awake, come down and walk yourself!" said a serious voice.
Permission was lying on a plank, with two wheels below, one pulled by a horse, jolting, and the man who spoke was fully armed, and a scar on his face stretched from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his mouth, which was a little shocking.
Xu was already uncomfortable, and got up and jumped down, "General, where are we now?"
When the man heard the word "general", he immediately smiled, "Don't you dare to be a general, this is Wuxia Slope, and if you have a hundred miles, you will arrive at the Evil Rock Valley, where is the front line, young man, which conscription army are you from? Where are you from?"
Xu Xu stroked the back of his head, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, "I am a new recruit who has just enlisted in the army, and I have never served a day of conscription, and I am from Taohua Village, Xuanyan Town. ”
The man's face turned cold, "Young man, have you offended someone?"
Xu Xu nodded, indicating that this is indeed the case, "Big brother, is there any way not to go to the front line?"
The man hurriedly covered his mouth and said angrily: "Don't you want to die? Let the commander hear it, you have to be killed, this is a great crime that shakes the morale of the army!"
After talking, Xu learned that this person is a three-year veteran, named Qi Yao, and now he has the position of deputy army commander, the army of the Aurora Kingdom has a team of twenty people, two hundred people, five hundred people, and one thousand people, and they are now marching a total of twenty tons, that is, 20,000 troops, led by Junhou Yuqing, to go to the Evil Rock Valley to help.
Qi Yao had participated in several battles before, the most tragic was the Battle of Pingyang not long ago, the 10,000 army was almost lost, there was not much left of his subordinates, and the wounds on his face also fell at that time. After hastily replenishing and increasing the number of troops, he traveled hundreds of miles a day to prepare for another war.
Generally, after conscription, you have to train for about a year before you go to the front line, such as permission, it is not nothing, it is most likely that the front-line troops are not enough, and they have to do it as a last resort, and the permission is completely framed, and the permission is also to feel wronged, and Qi Yao said that he even had no reservations about being an impostor to enlist in the army, and Qi Yao sighed when he heard it.
When night fell, the herald gave an order, stopped advancing, lit a fire and opened the stove, and prepared to eat, the commander of the licensed army was a burly middle-aged man, this one Wu belonged to eleven recruits, of course, he needed to give a good lecture, that is to say, some can not be afraid of death on the battlefield, the more afraid the more death, hot-blooded men, when loyal to the country, the horse leather shroud is not hesitated!
Xu Zhi's eyes looked at the surrounding environment, lightly poked Qi Yao next to him, and said in a low voice: "Deputy Commander, it doesn't seem very suitable to set up camp here, right? ”
"You think too much, we are still more than eighty miles away from the battlefield, and the frontline is tight, the enemy cannot be distracted to intercept us, and we and the Yi Yan Empire still have confrontation in the north, and our two countries are fighting this war with all their strength. What's more, there are scouts in front of you, so you can rest assured. ”
"Hey, why do you have to fight?"
"Xiao Xu, your question is difficult for me, why is it the king's decision to fight, we just need to do what we are told. ”
"How nice it would be if there were no wars in this world? and...... And I've never killed anyone. ”
"I know how aggrieved you are as a soldier, and I still think of my sister at home, but like you, you will only die faster on the battlefield, do you think that the more you are afraid, the more you die, the more you die, just to improve your morale? It's because I saw that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid opposite, and he didn't kill him for a while, and he slashed him in the face, if it weren't for Wu Chang, I would have confessed there. ”
This large passage can be said to be Qi Yao's concern about licensing, and the experience of licensing made him feel painful, and what is even more fucked up is that if he makes a meritorious service, it will be Qiao Zixu who will benefit most of the future.
After eating, he set up a tent to rest, and he shared a tent with Qi Yao, and the sound of frogs in the forest was so noisy that he couldn't sleep at all, Qi Yao brought a suit of armor, and after putting it on, he felt uncomfortable, so he got out of the tent to breathe.
Looking up at the starry sky, Xu thought of his sister in Xiao's house, I don't know what she is doing now, I hope Xiao Yanran can keep her promise and take good care of her.
"No! you can't just die on the battlefield!" Xu Xu thought of running away, so he observed the surrounding environment, only to see a bright light in the forest, and vaguely found a figure crowding.
Before he could react, the war drums suddenly sounded, and the sound of rushing and killing came from far and near, and it felt like the whole earth was trembling.
