"Help! Someone is coming!" A cry for help suddenly came from the outside of the camp. The archer prepared and shined the torch. More than ten people stood outside the camp supporting each other.
"Who is coming?"
"We are soldiers who were sent to the camp. We met the enemy on the road and resisted desperately. We came here injured!" As he spoke, one man could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
When the guards saw that they were from the Biga Kingdom, the leader took the documents and hurriedly asked people to let them in, "Quickly tell the general to find the doctor!"
Jian Xiao and his party were helped into the tent, and the doctor walked in with a medicine box. Jian Xiao pointed at Guo Ziqing and Guan Ye who were lying on the edge and said, "They are the most seriously injured."
"What's going on?" The tent curtain was lifted, and a tall, dark man walked in, wearing a suit of armor. "I am the border guard general Qin Minting. Have you encountered an ambush?"
"The official was sending us to the camp. When the time came, a group of people came out. Jili Gulu didn't understand. He killed everyone on sight. The official said that we Bijia people couldn't lose to them, so he pulled us to resist," Jian Xiao said.
"We fought desperately for a long time, and they finally left, but the official and brother Guo Ziqing were seriously injured! Our carriage was also lost, as well as the food and grass, so we had to drag it all the way to the camp."
Qin Minting held up the lamp and looked at everyone's injuries. Their faces were painted, and many people had blood stains on their clothes, especially the two who were seriously injured. It seemed that they were seriously injured. "Are you new recruits?"
"It doesn't count! I just came today and I don't know if the general will accept it or not!" Jian Xiao had a stomachache and frowned involuntarily.
When Qin Minting saw that this fair-faced young man was also injured, he waved his hand and said, "How can you not accept it? Come on, everyone who was injured today will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!" He pointed at the officer and said, "Send such a good soldier to me.
Come! Go back and tell his superiors that he will be rewarded! That one," pointed at Guo Ziqing, "The chief of the guard in front of my tent died in the battle the day before yesterday, so you can come directly!"
Thirteen people were busy receiving the reward. Everyone was secretly happy and admired Jian Xiao for being so resourceful.
Because they were considered sick and injured, everyone slept in a tent. Others had gone to bed early, but Jian Xiao couldn't sleep. She was a girl, how could she sleep with a bunch of men? She pulled down her bedding
Go to the corner closest to the wall, on the one hand to reduce disturbance, and on the other hand because the only reliable person next to you is Guo Ziqing
He was snoring so loudly that Jian Xiao was speechless. This heartless person was about to die, yet he could still sleep so soundly.
Suddenly, a cry came from the camp, "Get up! The Turks are attacking us!"
Jian Xiao hadn't slept at all, so she rolled over, picked up the spear at hand, and kicked Guo Ziqing, "There's something wrong!" Guo Ziqing was excited and followed Jian Xiao out in a daze.
The two of them walked out of the tent one after another, and met Qin Minting angrily, preparing to fight. When he saw the two recruits, he was shocked, muttered, "The consciousness is good," and then walked towards the place where the accident happened. Guo Ziqingyi
Seeing that there was a battle to be fought, he immediately became energetic and followed quickly. Jian Xiao also rushed forward. She did not want to charge into the battle, but her grandfather who had been engaged in the revolutionary cause told herself that the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster he would die!
Within a moment, many people gathered in the camp, shouting and rushing over.
The Turks who came to attack did not seem to expect that so many people would gather in such a quiet night, or perhaps for other reasons, Jian Xiao did not even see the shadow of the Turks, so he retreated.
"What a disappointment! I didn't even see a ghost," Guo Ziqing said
Before Jian Xiao could speak, she heard someone say, "Want to fight? Follow me from now on!"
When the two of them looked at each other, they saw the tall Qin Minting standing on one side. Jian Xiao looked at him. He was two feet taller than her. The oppressive feeling was unpleasant. Jian Xiao moved her body closer to Guo Ziqing.
"As long as the general is willing to help, the villain is willing to sacrifice his life for the country!" Guo Ziqing promised, patting his chest.
"What about you?" Qin Minting asked Jian Xiao
I don't want to, Jian Xiao thought in her heart, what kind of international joke is a woman going to the battlefield? But she can't say that, "I will not give up even if I die." Jian Xiao said four words briefly
Qin Mintian nodded, "You two, report to my account tomorrow morning!"
Guo Ziqing became the chief of the guard as he wished, and Jian Xiao was happy for no other reason than that the guards responsible for guarding Qin Minting's tent worked in shifts, and the resting room was a rare double tent. In Jian Xiao's opinion, it was very difficult to deal with a wolf.
, much easier than dealing with a pack of wolves, not to mention this is just a wolf, very innocent
Jian Xiao and Guo Ziqing stood in Qin Minting's tent. Jian Xiao was calculating listlessly. Duanmu Camp was stationed in Duanmu Village. There was a market in the village for soldiers to come out for leisure. Jian Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to change into female makeup and ran away instantly but found that this
In this place, being a man is much safer than being a woman. Except for the old women, there are no other women here, not even the little girls of four or five years old. This is the border. The Turks come back from time to time to plunder, and the war is chaotic.
Yeah, I'm afraid that my daughter will be abused and she'll run away with her family a long time ago. Well, men are safer.
"General!"
Jian Xiao was startled by Guo Ziqing's voice, and then looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"General! I think we should ask for support and let the imperial court stationed at the border of Datang to support us. We are too weak."
Qin Minting stroked his beard and said, "You think so too?"
"King Beichen held a heavy army but did not send any troops to rescue him. He only relied on the general's 3,000 troops. No matter how brave and skilled the general was, he could not withstand the tens of thousands of Turks' cavalry," Guo Ziqing said.
Qin Mintian nodded, "I have already submitted a letter to the emperor. I wonder if it will be approved this time."
Isn't the current emperor already terminally ill? Jian Xiao remembered the news she heard in the capital before. Nowadays, only the prince is in charge of the government. It seems that this time there is a fight.
"Ziqing, tomorrow I will have a head-to-head confrontation with the Turks. Would you like to join me on the field to kill the enemy?" Qin Minting said.
Guo Ziqing clasped his fists and said, "Great, I've been waiting for this day! Brother Jian, are you coming?"
Jian Xiao waved her hand, "I can't even hold a drill gun. I can't figure out what tricks to do on the battlefield. You go, I'll guard the camp for the general."
Qin Mintian nodded, "That's good. News from the court will come tomorrow. Keep an eye on the news for me."
Jian Xiao agreed. He really didn't have much love for a war, such a bloody thing. If he had known it, he wouldn't have dressed up as Tuo Jinglie and ran out. She didn't know that he was in better health and not as handsome and cold as the one in Jian Xiao's mind.
A man appeared with a faint smile. Jian Xiao also smiled unconsciously. Why was she still thinking of him?
