C27 (1/2)
The threat of death had always been hanging above everyone's head like a sharp blade.
The war was about to start. They had been training very hard these days. The orders from the higher-ups were to be ready to join the war at any time. As long as they gave the order, they would immediately set off!
I heard that this time command is determined to beat the barbarians back to their lair in one go, so that they won't dare to move again in the future. This way, they can preserve the peace and tranquility of Ming Province's Guest House s for a few years!
This kind of war was fought with the lives of soldiers. The vanguard camp had participated in so many big and small battles, and had done countless meritorious deeds.
Before every war, everyone was worried. Xiao Da Yong and the other veterans had experienced a lot, so the pressure wasn't that great, but people like Gou Sheng who had only joined the vanguard camp for less than half a year and had not been through a war before. To them who were only seventeen years old, the pressure was extremely huge!
Hearing Gou Sheng's words, Xiao Da Yong slowly loosened his arm, looked at Gou Sheng, and said solemnly: ”As long as you come back alive, I will bring you to my house and have your sister-in-law personally make you delicious food!”
”Really? Dahuang-ge, you didn't coax me? ”
”Why would I coax you? Do as you say! ”
”Then I'll definitely come back alive and eat delicious food cooked by sister-in-law!”
”Since you have to live, you have to kill the barbarians. You have to be a coward and keep your life. That won't do!”
”Dahuang-ge, I am not a coward. Just you wait and see me kill the barbarians and take revenge for my father!” Gou Sheng stuck out his chest with a determined look in his eyes. His father was also a Military, and he had been killed by a barbarian on the battlefield.
Looking at Gou Sheng who had a determined look on his face, Xiao Da Yong patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: ”Gou Sheng is right, let's kill the barbarian together and take revenge!”
”Revenge!”
”Revenge!”
”Well said, brothers. The barbarians have committed all sorts of crimes. This time, we will take them back to their lair and avenge them!” Lin Dingbei who had just walked in could not help but to say loudly when he heard everyone's shouts.
”Revenge!” Revenge! ”Revenge!” Hearing Lin Dingbei's words, everyone started to shout.
Lin Dingbei waved his hand, signalling for everyone to listen quietly: ”Brothers, we have just received the order, tomorrow morning, the horn sounds, the army will depart immediately, and our vanguard camp will depart tonight. We will go over Black Python Mountain, and ambush at the mountain top of the road to cut off the Barbarian's grain route!”
The topography of Black Python Mountain was complicated, especially there was a section of road in the middle of the cliff, if he was not careful and fell off the cliff, he would be smashed into smithereens. There, he had lost his best brother!
Not only Xiao Da Yong, even the vanguard camp Captain Chang Danian who led his team to cross the Black Python Mountain had a heavy expression. It seems that they are part of a surprise attack team, no wonder they trained Flying Tiger Claw these few days.
Lin Dingbei looked at the crowd, and the new recruits all had a heavy expression on their faces. Smiling faintly, they clapped their hands, and two personal guards walked in holding several steel bludgeon made of zigzag hoops. Chang Danian's reaction was the fastest, and he cried out: ”Three-eyed Rod!”
Xiao Da Yong was shocked and quickly looked over. It really was the Triple-Eyed Race!
Lin Dingbei looked at the crowd and said loudly: ”Yes, this is the Three-eyed General, the one personally bestowed by the command to us, the leader and the sergeants. Each of us has one each, and we have two hundred lead (bullets), four kilograms of gunpowder, and three fire ropes! Not only that, in order to fight against the Barbarian Child, the command even brought back five cannons, all for the sake of attacking the Kepin and sending the Barbarian Child back to his lair! ”
The crowd burst into an uproar!
Which soldier had not heard of the famous Three-Eye Race and the Tiger Squad Cannon? The moment the Tiger Squad Cannon fired hundreds of small bullets, it would be able to create a large empty field in the midst of the enemy troops.
There had been these since the founding of the Qi dynasty, but they were always the equipment of the southern army. The northern army rarely had any equipment, and the vanguard camp only had young officers such as Chang Chang Da Yong to learn how to use these things, many of whom had never seen them before. It seemed that the command had really put in a lot of effort this time. With these divine weapons, they wouldn't have to worry about not defeating the barbarians!
Lin Dingbei looked at the expressions of the people and said loudly: ”Brothers, with this godly weapon, our army will definitely win! It's time for us to kill our enemies and reap the rewards! ”
”Victory!” Victory! We have to win! ”
Everyone was shouting and cheering. Even Xiao Da Yong, who could not bear to part with Xu Hui and Niu Niu, could not help but feel her blood boil. She wanted to grab the Three-eyed Sword and charge forward to kill the barbarian for it!
Lin Dingbei also said some encouraging words, telling everyone to be prepared to leave immediately after midnight.
