The westerly wind on the ancient road is the artistic conception, but the yellow sand is the reality.The solitary smoke in the desert is a feeling, but the sunset over the long river does not know when it will be seen.

Unknowingly, Jia Zhen has been in this small guard for about three months.Looking at the tent with less than 200 people behind her, Jia Zhen sighed to herself.When he was in the Golden Luan Hall that day, he still thought that there must be seven or eight hundred soldiers under his thousand households, but the reality taught him how to be a man.

It's not that the frontier army is really eating [-]% of their salary, but that the frontier defense line is too long, there are too many guards, and there are obviously not enough soldiers.

Even if there are only more than 100 people, they have to guard the safety of the border area for hundreds of miles.Even if Jia Zhen has a great strength technique, she still feels that things are not good-winter has come, and the sparse yellow grass in the fields tells him that the grassland is dry and rainless this year.Such weather can only lead to one result, that is, the cattle and sheep in Beirong will starve to death in large numbers due to lack of pasture.The Beirong people who have no cattle and sheep are likely to go south to thresh grain and grass.

"Lord Qianhu, dinner is ready." The one who ran over was Xianyan, and this guy also came to the border area with Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen nodded, and went back to her tent with Xian Yan.The soldiers passing by saw him coming, and greeted him from a distance. Everything was completely different from the hostility that Jia Zhen had when he first came.

"Those brothers are all assigned to each team?" Jia Zhen asked now.

Xianyan nodded: "Everyone else has gone, but the six of us are here to protect you. No matter what you say, if you don't give food or water, we won't go to Wuli either."

Hearing what he said so firmly, Jia Zhen didn't know how to remember that Jiao Da got half a bowl of water in the original book, but she refused to drink it and gave it to Ning Guogong—it seems that this loyalty education is going well.The corner of his mouth couldn't help but bring out a smile.

He nodded towards Xianyan: "It's not that I have to assign you to the army. It's just that those Beirong might come over, and I want you to teach these soldiers more things. Waiting for something to happen , I will let you come back to me.”

After listening to the words, he thought about it: "Then there must be two people left to serve by the uncle's side."

Jia Zhen said in her heart that if it weren't for you people who always surrounded the front and back, making these ordinary soldiers think that an old dude came, maybe she would have already become one with him, and it took half a month to get back together again. Only by defeating a few assassins in person can he gain a firm foothold in this camp?

But these people are also out of good intentions, and if they complain by themselves, they will be suspected of being ungrateful.Jia Zhen didn't mention it either.When he finished his meal, he saw several corporal leaders waiting for him.

"But what's the matter?" He asked Niu Dalu, who was the first to be defeated by him since entering the camp.

Niu Dalu was convinced by the defeat—it was like this in the frontier camp, the lower the soldiers were, the more they were convinced by the officers with big fists and thick arms.The reason is also easy to understand. With such a leader, everyone's chance of survival will be one point higher.It is said that being a soldier eats food, not to survive, not to have enough to eat. Who would leave their homes and jobs to come to such a bitter and cold place.

"We came here to see Lord Qianhu's patrols for the next few days. Do you have any arrangements? This is just to let the soldiers run around the barracks, eat a lot, and waste shoes. It's better to let them Going out to patrol can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

Jia Zhen felt that this was also reasonable.In the winter, the supplies in the army came later and later every day. These junior officers could still eat dry food, but ordinary soldiers could only eat half dry food.

In addition, Jia Zhen wanted everyone to exercise more, so that when the Beirong people came, the fight with them could last longer.So since the beginning of winter, Jia Zhen didn't let these soldiers huddled in the camp to chat and fart like before, but asked the present to teach them boxing and running every day.

But training is more pleasant than not being able to lie on the bunk and brag, these soldiers are full of resentment in their hearts.If Jia Zhen hadn't brought a lot of personal guards, I'm afraid they would have been slapped long ago.

Jia Zhen thought for a while, and asked Xianyan to bring over the map of this place.This picture is too simple, and only some shapes can be barely seen.Fortunately, as soon as Jia Zhen came here, she took people to run the hundred miles of land she was in charge of, and she was quite familiar with the terrain.Pointing to the map, Jia Zhen said: "That is, everyone has had enough rest in the camp, then from today onwards, we will be active every day."

The corporal leaders glanced at each other, but no one spoke.They have already figured it out, the Qianhu in front of him, although he usually speaks politely, but if anyone doesn't listen to him, it's not a matter of using fists, batons, or even weapons Never had.

"Niu Dalu, you take 15 people to patrol the west line. Yang Tiechui, you take 15 people to patrol the east line. Li Shan, you take 15 people to patrol the south line." Jia Zhen assigned tasks to the corps leaders: " No matter where you go on patrol, you must return to camp before dark."

Niu Dalu asked a little worriedly: "What about the northern line?" That is the place where the patrol should focus on, and the Beirong people have come from there several times.

Jia Zhen nodded to them: "I personally lead people to patrol the northern line. Li He and Liu Ming lead people to guard the camp. Those who have not gone out to patrol should not slack off, and they will still train as usual. If any team does not return to camp on time , Li He took people to meet him. Go back and tell the big guys, I will let Gu Dan and the others go to the town to buy a sheep, and I will give you extra meals tonight."

Hearing these words makes one's blood boil more than any impassioned lecture.Once in winter, there are often turnips and cabbage in the camp, which makes people feel nauseous.Hearing that Jia Zhen wants to send people to buy sheep, how can you not be excited?Several corporal leaders responded abruptly: "Yes, listen to Lord Qianhu's orders."

It didn't take a moment for the corporal leaders to count all the people they wanted to take out to patrol. Unfortunately, Mr. Ma Shao, except for the corporal leaders, all the soldiers had to measure the patrol land by their feet.

However, the frontier camp has always been like this, and Jia Zhen has nowhere to equip these more than 100 people with horses.He also ordered ten soldiers, took five personal guards, and headed towards the north of the camp.

The northwest wind blew head-on, and the yellow sand was blown up from the roots of the grass. In less than an hour, Jia Zhen and the others' faces were covered with thick loess.After spitting out the sand blown into her mouth in one gulp, Jia Zhen asked the guards beside her, "How far have we come out?"

The guard also turned his face, spit out the yellow sand in his mouth, and said to Jia Zhen: "If you go back to the uncle, it should be more than 20 miles."

This speed is not too slow, after all, those ten soldiers walked with their feet.After signaling to the guards, Jia Zhen stopped the horse and said, "Take a break." The soldiers all showed a relaxed expression when they heard this, and saw a small hill not far away with sharp eyes, and said: " Lord Qianhu, let's go under the hill to avoid the wind."

Jia Zhen looked around, only the hill was still covered, and nodded in agreement with the soldier's suggestion.More than a dozen people walked slowly towards the hill.But before they got close to the mountain bag, two of the guards had already raised their hands to signal that Jia Zhen and the others would not be allowed to move forward.

Knowing something was different, Jia Zhen asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

A personal guard rode up to Jia Zhen, and whispered, "Something is wrong. There seems to be movement in the distance."

Some soldiers thought the guards were making a fuss: "Maybe it's the sheep herders coming over."

The personal guard still looked serious: "If you are a sheep herder, I'm afraid you can't ride a horse. Those who can ride a horse and herd sheep are not our people."

Jia Zhen still believed in the skills of these guards, and said to another guard, "Go and have a look, if you find something wrong, come back quickly." The guard led the horse and rode out.

The faces of those ten soldiers were a little pale.Although this is a border area, Beirong people invade the border every year, but they rarely come to this poor mountain and evil water.So they didn't have many battles.

Jia Zhen knew that if she was afraid in her heart at this time, there might be deserters in a while.Fighting against others, if you retreat first, you will only die, because you whispered firmly to the ten soldiers: "We don't have any big towns here. If you want to come, there won't be too many people from Beirong. Maybe it's just a few This one wants to take advantage. If we clean up the people this time, they won't dare to come easily next time."

Hearing that there might not be many Beirong people, the soldiers looked a little better.But Jia Zhen didn't know what to do—this was the first time he actually went to the battlefield, and it was the first time he faced the enemy face to face.Thinking about whether I was stabbed for a while, or even if I was stabbed by someone, I felt a little nervous.

Just as he was thinking, the personal guard had galloped back, beating his horse and shouting: "Enemy attack, enemy attack."

With a groan, Jia Zhen had drawn her sword in her hand, looked at the guards who had already held her sword in her hand, and looked at the soldiers who were still watching the excitement, and said loudly to them: "Pick up your sword and kill the enemy with me. "

Then he asked the guard who had already run up to him: "How many people are here?"

The personal guard panted heavily and said, "Seven people."

Fortunately, just as Jia Zhen thought, the place he lives in is too poor, and even Beirong people are unwilling to use their strength in such a place where there is no lucrative water.However, it was not a small number for seven people to face the sixteen of them—the Beirong people all had horses, but they had ten infantry on their side.

Looking at the hill not far away, Jia Zhen turned her head and said, "Quick, go up the hill." As she spoke, she took the lead and rushed towards the hill.The personal guard instantly understood what Jia Zhen meant—Bei Rong had horses, and they also had horses.If you get on the small hill, then take advantage of the mountain and charge first, maybe you can kill a few Beirong people.

At this time, the soldiers also reacted, and while raising their knives, they ran towards the hill - if they were with Jia Zhen and his companions who had horses, they might have escaped the disaster.But if they stayed where they were, wouldn't they become the targets of Bei Rong soldiers?

Fortunately, when the Beirong people found the guards, they were a little slow to react, and after some discussion, they decided to catch up and take a look.When they arrived, Jia Zhen and the others were already standing high on the hill.

I saw these Beirong people wearing leather clothes and fur hats on their heads, and one of them had pheasant feathers stuck in his hat, which may be used to show his identity.The man with the pheasant feathers yelled at Jia Zhen and the others, but unfortunately Jia Zhen didn't know what he was talking about.

"Do any of you know what he is talking about?" Jia Zhen asked the soldiers.

A more mature person said, "I don't quite understand it either, but maybe it means asking us to go down and surrender."

surrender?Jia Zhen cursed inwardly, how many websites and authors he has fought against, he never thought about admitting defeat to others, now you let him surrender?

"Jiaomu, give him an arrow and make him shut up." Jia Zhen ordered coldly.Someone in the personal guard agreed, drew a bow and set an arrow, and shot at the person who shouted.It's a pity that it was also the first time that Burnt Wood shot an arrow at a flesh-and-blood person, and it couldn't compare to a target. When the arrow was about to be shot, it still trembled, and the arrow only hit the right arm of the person who was shouting.

The Beirong people did not expect that these Central Plains people shot arrows without answering a word. The side of the arrow that was hit screamed loudly, and said something to the people around him, and saw the Beirong people on the opposite side. He also raised the arrow in his hand.

Jia Zhen hurriedly called out to the surroundings: "Be careful." She also immediately crouched down.Jiaomu and the others had already surrounded him.Jia Zhen was so angry that she said to them: "At this time, if you don't talk about dispersing, are you making a target for someone? Shoot it back for me!"

After hearing this, those few people realized that they were being stupid, so they spread out quickly and pulled out the bows behind them.Jia Zhen didn't bring a bow when she came out this time, and seeing some soldiers panicking around, not knowing how to dodge, she cursed her mother secretly in her heart, and shouted to them, "Go behind the stone, you can't hide behind the tree." Do you know? The bows behind you can’t be displayed?”

While speaking, an arrow flew over, and Jia Zhen pushed it away with a single knife.However, he is very strong now, and the arrow actually made him turn around, and it was directly nailed into the stone with a sound.

The soldiers who saw it were a little dazed, but the other soldiers were reminded by Jia Zhen, and they also took down their bows and arrows to fight back.Unexpectedly, the wind was blowing at this time, and the Beirong people were standing upwind. The arrows shot by Jia Zhen and the others had been deflected by the wind before they reached the place, which increased the momentum of the Beirong people.

Seeing that there was no way out, Jia Zhen yelled to the guards: "Go and kill these thieves with me." Then she said to the soldiers: "Hide yourself, and shoot arrows to cover." While talking, the horse was the first again. One ran out.

Seeing that he had already run out, the personal guards couldn't stand by themselves, so they whipped their horses and rushed down the hill.

Jia Zhen understands the truth that the king is captured first when the thief is captured.So he pushed aside the arrows that flew towards him along the way, and rushed towards the man who yelled at his group and had a pheasant feather stuck in his head.

Fortunately, there were only seven people on the other side, and the boss-like person was injured.So even if the Beirong people's arrow skills are good, the arrow cannot pose a real threat to Jia Zhen.

When the Beirong people saw Jia Zhen and the others rushing over, they also rode forward, and everyone drew out the scimitars they had on their bodies.Jia Zhen had already come to the injured leader at this time, held up the waist knife in her hand, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and cut off her head with a ruthless heart.

With the sound of the wind, the knife followed Jia Zhen's strength and slashed straight to the leader's head.The leader used his own knife to block it, but Jia Zhen has been practicing Juli for half a year, and her strength is already far beyond comparison.With a sound of a boring sound, the saber of the leader of the Beirong army broke as soon as it touched Jia Zhen's saber.

It was too late to dodge, the knife had already split the leader's head straight from the middle.On the battlefield, it is common to see blood and heads falling to the ground.However, it was the first time for Jia Zhen and the guards he brought to experience such a scene, not to mention that it was more bloody than the general scene where the head fell straight to the ground?

Jia Zhen was stunned, and his five guards who were fighting with the Beirong people were also stunned.But the Beirong people were greatly stimulated when they saw such a tragic death of their leader. They cursed Jia Zhen and the others incomprehensible, and the scimitar greeted the person closest to him.

Jia Zhen was the first to react, and shouted to the guards to be careful, and then used the knife holder to slash the knife that was slashing at the burnt wood.Jia Zhen is very powerful, although the saber came out late, but pinned the edge of the Beirong man's saber, causing the scimitar to change its direction sharply.

Before Jiao Mu could say a word of thanks to Jia Zhen, his knife also hit the Beirong man.As soon as the two Beirong people were resolved, the strength of the enemy and ourselves changed suddenly.Especially the death of the leader made the remaining Beirong people even more flustered.

The Beirong people panicked, but Jia Zhen and her personal guards increased their confidence greatly.The other four personal guards, paired up in pairs, dealt with two more Beirong people.The remaining three Beirong people panicked even more.I don't know which person whistled, and the three Beirong people turned their horses around together, trying to escape towards the way they came from.

However, Jia Zhen felt that these three people should not be allowed to run back to report the news. In case there was any brigade of Beirong people behind them, the more than 100 people behind her could become ghosts under the knife—from the ten soldiers just now It can be seen from his performance that the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is really worrying now.

"Chasing!" Jia Zhen also turned her horse's head and chased after the escaped Beirong man.

One of the guards on the side shot an arrow at the fleeing Beirong man.A Beirong man fell off his horse in response to an arrow.The other two Beirong men beat their horses even harder, and another guard shot down one with an arrow, but the other had already run away.At this time, the wind picked up again, and the arrows that were shot were deflected by the wind.

Seeing that the Beirong man ran farther, Jia Zhen weighed the waist knife in her hand, exhausted all her strength, and threw it towards the Beirong man who ran far away.I saw the knife reflecting the sunlight, like a shining light and shadow, shooting straight into the body of the Beirong man.

The Beirong man's horse hadn't stopped yet, and ran away with the Beirong man who was already crooked.But within two steps, the Beirong man had already fallen off his horse, with only one foot still hanging on the stirrup, allowing the horse to drag him away.

It wasn't until this moment that Jia Zhen felt that her whole body had lost all strength, and she was about to fall off the horse.Thinking of the tragic situation of the last Beirong man, Jia Zhen secretly frightened her mind, and looked at her personal guard with anger.

In the battle just now, although the personal guards won the battle, it was the first time they killed someone, and their faces were still a little pale.Jia Zhen shouted to them: "Well done, you are worthy of being my son of the Jia family. I just killed the enemy for the first time, and I was able to wipe out the invading enemy. When I go back, I will definitely write to the master and ask him to tell Jiao Da They say that you have lived up to their teachings."

When the guards heard that Jia Zhen was going to tell the people who had been teaching her about her performance, they also felt a sense of pride in their hearts.That's right, so what if it's your first time on the battlefield?Even if you are a little overwhelmed at first, so what?I still killed the invading enemy!

At this time, Jia Zhen said to the guard: "Jiaomu, lead someone to clean up the battlefield."

Still have to clean up the battlefield?The first thing Jiao Mu looked at was the unlucky guy whose head was split in half by Jia Zhen.But Jia Zhen at this time is not something he can defy, nor is he allowed to defy by his years of training.

Just at this time, the ten soldiers had already run over, seeing that Jia Zhen and the others had cleaned up the seven Beirong people so neatly, their eyes were filled with awe, and they took the initiative to clean up. The battlefield is coming.After they tidied up in a hurry and collected another six unowned horses, Jia Zhen said, "Let's go back to the camp."

Without saying much, everyone followed behind him and headed towards the camp together.

The time they returned to the camp was only two hours away from the time they set off from the camp, which surprised Li He and Liu Ming who were guarding the camp.But when he saw the blood on Jia Zhen and the others, he understood: "Mr. Qian met Beirong people?"

Jia Zhen nodded: "Exactly. Fortunately, there are not many of them, only seven."

Liu Ming heard this and said, "Seven, not many people, but I'm afraid they are spies from the Beirong people. If they run back, they may be in trouble."

The soldier behind Jia Zhen said: "I didn't run away, I killed them all. Mr. Qian killed three of them!"

Three Beirong people!Li He and Liu Ming, who were able to become corps leaders, also fought with the Beirong people.They knew that the Beirong people were not only taller than the Central Plains people, they were also much stronger and their arrows were more accurate.However, three of these Beirong people died at Jia Zhen's hands, and they looked at Jia Zhen with more caution and consideration.

Jia Zhen didn't have the heart to understand their thoughts. Now he just wanted to take off the armor on his body so that he could wash up, preferably in a hot bath.But he knew that the last one was simply an extravagant wish.

Waving to the two of them, signaling them to tie up the horses, Jia Zhen went back to her tent.Before Gu Yan brought the water, Li He and Liu Ming had already appeared in the tent.

This made Jia Zhen a little disgusted, why did she come here so soon, can't she let herself wash her face before talking?

But hearing Liu Ming's words, Jia Zhen's little dissatisfaction was wiped away.The two of them are not really so unreasonable, but to remind Jia Zhen that there are Beirong people in her defense area, and they may be Beirong spies. If it is reasonable, she should report to her superiors.And the guards in your own battalion also need to be strengthened.
