Chapter 62 The Truth of the War (Subscription Request)
The war has been going on for more than a month.
The entire Yanzhou, both soldiers and civilians, became somewhat anxious.
The Routu State was not good at long-term attacks. Normally, they would retreat if they failed to make a breakthrough in half a month. But this time, they continued to attack for a month.
Thousands of people would be sacrificed in every attack by both sides.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
In this kind of battle, there will always be new stars rising.
Ji Yang is such a rising star.
His name has become known among the captains.
Sharpshooter.
It can pose a certain threat to a seventh-grade martial artist.
In just one month, the number of Routu Kingdom's martial artists who died at the hands of Ji Yang exceeded one hundred.
According to the military regulations of the Liang Dynasty, killing a ninth-grade martial artist would accumulate ten military merits, killing an eighth-grade martial artist would accumulate one hundred military merits, and killing a seventh-grade martial artist would accumulate five hundred points.
Among the military generals, Ji Yang is currently the first person who can accumulate more than ten thousand military merits.
It’s not that there are no such brave men in the army, but the geniuses in the past were not archers. No matter how brave they were, it was impossible for them to rush into the enemy army and kill indiscriminately.
If you happen to encounter a military general, your life will be gone.
But Ji Yang didn't have such worries. He was an archer and could just stand a few miles away.
If you encounter someone you can't beat, just run away.
Rumor has it in the army that... after General Feng heard about Ji Yang's incident, he issued an order to form a sharpshooter battalion and recruit some sharpshooters.
Rumor has it... General Feng plans to transfer Ji Yang to serve as the captain of the Archery Battalion.
Tanzania town.
Chu Ning collected the arrows, while Zhao Qin, Chen Jing and others hurried to clean up the mess.
This kind of scene has appeared many times in this month.
At first, these people felt a little embarrassed. After all, these enemy soldiers were crippled by Ji Yang's arrows. How could they be so shameless as to steal their heads?
Zhao Qin was the first to take the first step, followed by Chen Jing, then Qi Xue and another woman.
The four of them were a little embarrassed in the beginning, and were reluctant to take a few heads. But later on, as soon as Chu Ning collected the arrows, they would immediately take care of the remaining heads.
They might choose to save face if they had a little military achievement.
The key is that he has many military achievements.
How can a thick face smell as good as military achievements?
Even if they have good talents and a good family background, some of the rare things they can get in exchange for their combat abilities cannot be bought with money.
Of course, the most important thing is that after many times of cooperation, they also discovered that those who were not dead were specially left for them by Ji Yang. With the accuracy and power of Ji Yang's arrows, those he wanted to kill would be shot in the head.
Then there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
I can only say that this thigh feels so good to hug.
"Ji Yang, you must have heard all the rumors in the army recently."
After cleaning up the battlefield, Qi Xue collected the arrows shot by Chu Ning, and another woman was responsible for taking over Chu Ning's bow.
"You're talking about the rumor that General Feng is going to set up a sharpshooter battalion, right?"
"Well, my uncle has already made the arrangements. You can go to the Sharpshooter Camp in a few days."
Faced with Qi Xue's kindness, Chu Ning actually wanted to say no. It was too tiring to stay in this regular military camp. It was not as good as the Blood and Fire Camp.
Good food, good drinks and fun.
I'm your big shot, and this is how you repay me? I can only express my gratitude with tears in my heart and a smile on my face.
Two days later, Chu Ning received a transfer and was appointed as the captain of the Sharpshooter Battalion. He recruited one hundred soldiers to form the Sharpshooter Battalion.
It is a bit similar to special forces. Although the number of people is small, they are highly equipped.
Chu Ning also became the only living captain who was not a military general.
There was no dissatisfaction in the army regarding Chu Ning's promotion. The combat records of many captains were not as fierce as Chu Ning's. After all, they could not kill so many martial artists before they became military generals. After becoming military generals, they had even less chance because the enemies they faced were also at the military general level.
Blood and Fire Camp.
When Chu Ning returned to the camp, the Blood and Fire Camp was replenished with some fresh blood. This time, Zhao Heng personally greeted Chu Ning at Yingkou.
The two are now at the same level, and the most important thing is that the Archery Battalion will definitely be more popular than the Blood and Fire Battalion.
To put it bluntly, the Blood and Fire Camp is a gathering place for cannon fodder. This captain does not have many subordinates except for a few personal soldiers, and the soldiers in the camp wish to tear him into pieces.
Therefore, his position as a lieutenant is the lowest in the entire army, but the benefits are quite good.
All those brothels, including taverns, had to give him a commission.
"Brother Ji, I know from the first glance that you are not an easy person. The few missions I assigned to you at the beginning were all of minimal danger."
Zhao Heng was very enthusiastic and gave Chu Ning the antidote.
Did you see that? It was clearly for Zhao Qin's sake.
Chu Ning did not expose the truth. He just said a few polite words and then left.
Then I went to the military headquarters to receive my captain's uniform, but I didn't see General Feng. I guess he was just giving his niece a chance. If my Archery Battalion does well, I'll probably have a chance to see him.
The Sharpshooter Battalion had a ready-made campsite. In this battle, many camps had been almost wiped out, so the campsite was empty.
However, Chu Ning went to his own camp, which was guarded by only a few soldiers.
These soldiers will also be members of the Sharpshooter Battalion in the future, responsible for the camp's logistics.
The first thing Chu Ning did when he arrived at the camp was to write a letter.
He is now the youngest captain, and there are many people watching him, so he cannot arouse their suspicion.
This letter was naturally written to Uncle Ji Yang.
Ji Yang's parents passed away early, and Ji Yang was raised by his uncle.
[Uncle: From my nephew Ji Yang]
【……】
【……】
After writing the letter, he gave it to the soldiers and asked them to deliver it to the military post station. Chu Ning looked at the roster and was speechless.
He came to the army to burn his blood, but now he has become a captain.
This is similar to someone who came here as an undercover agent but ended up becoming the boss.
The soldiers recorded on the roster are all strong. Strength is the most basic requirement for archery. What Chu Ning has to do next is to select three hundred soldiers from these soldiers, and finally select and keep one hundred.
The higher-ups gave him half a month, so there was no need to rush.
night.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chu Ning was lying on a wooden bed in a captain-level tent.
The soldier guarding the camp gate was dozing off while leaning on his spear. The Archery Battalion was located very far back, making it almost impossible for the enemy to attack.
It's late at night.
However, there were several figures rushing towards this side. These people were very fast, and the most important thing was that they passed several camps without being discovered by the patrolling and guarding soldiers.
"Humph, that Ji Yang killed almost all of my men. Before I carry out my mission as the general, I will kill him first to avenge my men."
Tuo Jieba looked coldly at the camp in front of him and signaled his two men not to go in, as killing Ji Yang alone was enough.
The two subordinates did not dare to persuade him. They knew their own cavalry inspector's temperament very well. Once a decision was made, it would not be changed. If they tried to persuade him, they would only be scolded.
What's more, they also want Ji Yang to die.
Besides, Duqi is a powerful military commander, and Ji Yang was only able to kill so many people by relying on the power of his bow and arrow. His own strength is only that of an eighth-rank martial artist. It would be easy for Duqi to kill Ji Yang with his strength.
Tuo Jieba sneaked into the camp easily and quickly locked onto Chu Ning's position, standing at the door of the tent.
He doesn't need to launch a sneak attack against a martial artist.
When he opened the tent curtain, Tuo Jieba felt a darkness before his eyes.
"There's a trap. Am I being ambushed?"
These were Takuya's last thoughts before he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself tied up, and so were his two men. The difference was that his two men were still unconscious.
Tuo Jieba quickly glanced around to make sure he was inside the tent, and then his eyes fell on the young man in front of him.
“You… who are you?”
"You don't even know who I am, yet you want to kill me. Are you Routu people so fierce?"
Listening to the young man's words, Tuo Jieba's pupils shrank, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "You are Ji Yang, you are not a martial artist, you are a military commander?"
In an instant, Tuo Jieba understood that Ji Yang had concealed his strength. If he was a martial artist, it would be impossible for him to faint without any resistance. He must be not only a military commander, but at least a fifth-grade military commander.
"You Liang Dynasty people are so despicable and shameless!"
Tuojieba's face was filled with anger. The Liang Dynasty army had been fighting with their Routu for so many years, and both sides had some customary rules.
Military generals must fight against military generals. This will also give young martial artists room to grow. Otherwise, if both sides send their generals to launch sneak attacks and assassinate martial artists, in the end the fighting side will have to be completely wiped out.
That’s not all. What’s even more shameless is that a fifth-rank general pretends to be a martial arts master. The Liang Dynasty has no shame at all.
Obviously, Tuo Jieba had misunderstood the Liang Dynasty army, but Chu Ning would not explain. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "What's so shameless about it? As a martial arts general, you want to assassinate my martial arts master. Isn't it mutual?"
"I don't……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Tuo Jieba stopped talking and then said, "Yes, the Bendu Cavalry came to kill you, but I didn't expect that you Liang Dynasty would be even more shameless."
"Sure enough, you're not here to kill me."
Chu Ning smiled slightly. He was just trying to trick the man in front of him. If he really came to kill him, there was no need to leave two people outside the camp.
There are few people in our camp, and the nearest camps are several miles away, so we don't need someone to keep watch.
Besides, I am obviously at the level of a martial artist, so sending one general is enough. Wouldn't it be redundant to send two seventh-grade martial artists?
If the general cannot kill himself, adding two more martial artists will just lead to their deaths.
"Tell me, what is your real purpose?" Tuo Jieba sneered and chose to remain silent.
"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
"OK!"
Chu Ning nodded, flicked his finger, and a dark force shot into Tuo Jieba's forehead. Before Tuo Jieba could even blink, a bloody hole appeared in his forehead.
Curiosity kills the cat.
For Chu Ning, his most important thing now is to find a way to improve the Blood Burning Skill so as to enhance his own strength. As for other secrets, he can know them if he can, and forget about them if he can't.
It is enough as long as you make sure that the other party is not targeting you specifically.
Chu Ning woke up the other two and asked them the same questions as per the procedure. He thought he would not get an answer, but he did not expect that the last one would get scared and confess.
"I don't know the details. I only know that this is a task assigned to Duqi by the general. It is related to some snake. I also heard Duqi say that the general wanted to launch this war in order to attract the attention of the Daliang court so that he could secretly send more people to infiltrate."
Snake again? The Jiuxuan Pavilion of the four major sects is looking for snakes, and now General Routu is also looking for snakes.
There can't be any coincidence, they must be looking for the same snake.
"Thank you for telling me the truth so that I can sleep well at night."
Chu Ning slapped the man on the chest, kindly allowing him to die without any pain.
