Chapter 4, First Battle (1)

The transfer order was not written, so it cannot be counted. Moreover, if I can transfer it to you, I can also transfer it back. Now, tell me, how much contraband did you hide this time

How could one possibly not understand? After all, the world he came to is already one of information explosion. Many things can be understood just by reading books, even without personal experience. In the continent of Guanlan, there are no psychologists, so robbery, rape, and even the massacre of civilians have become their best outlets for venting.

Fang Hu was enraged, slamming the table and rising in anger, saying: "What? Have you suddenly developed a sense of compassion? You novice, let me tell you. We are soldiers... soldiers who risk our lives with our heads on the line! Do you understand? Today, we do not concern ourselves with tomorrow's matters, regardless of whether it brings joy or sorrow. Do you think these words are just for show? Huh?"

"What are you so happy about?" Qi Tianyou tapped the two of them lightly with the back of his knife and then said, "Don't be too pleased too soon. The little bit you learned in the recruit camp is hardly sufficient. There are many days ahead, so make sure to train well."

Fengcang City has finally arrived

Fang Hu was immediately anxious: "I can't? Ask my younger brother. Back in the days when we were at Pan Mountain, there was a village girl at the foot of the mountain. I thought she looked fresh and tender, so I went for her right away. My brother and I took turns, and we did it a total of twelve times. Twelve times! Each of us six times, and it was less than a day's time.

Qi Tianyou struck Qianshui Qing and Leihuo with the scabbard, saying: "Why not thank the lord more?"

Shallow Water Qing steps forward and bows with clasped fists: "I am Shallow Water Qing."

However, Qian Shuiqing is aware that nearly every city in the Tianfeng Empire is under such tight defensive conditions. As Qi Tianyou once said, there are no fortifications to be seized in Tianfeng; only by advancing step by step and establishing a solid foundation can one remain invincible.

Upon the utterance of these words, the entire venue fell silent

Behind Qi Tianyou, Fang Hu, Fang Bao, and several others began to chuckle. In the battlefield, although there is a hierarchy, many times everyone fights side by side as brothers. A general who is overly harsh on his subordinates will ultimately be abandoned by them. In the Tianfeng military system, generals with fewer than one thousand men have the obligation to charge at the front. Even though the Bloodbath is a training ground for a thousand men, they too must fight bravely. If he cannot maintain a good relationship with his soldiers, he is likely to perish on the battlefield countless times.

Qi Tianyou immediately became anxious: "My lord, how can you do this? These soldiers were all assigned to me by you."

Qi Tianyou sighed and said: "Shallow waters are clear... you are good. However, there are some things you have not experienced, and you will not understand. In time, you will come to understand. Let this matter rest for now; in the future, do not bring it up again"

Qian Shuiqing's expression was somewhat unfriendly; he truly did not expect that Fang Hu, who had been chatting and laughing with him over the past few days, treating him with kindness regardless of status, would actually commit the act of assaulting a woman.

Two individuals stand together, their gazes intertwining, igniting layers of sparks.

After this renaming, the blood-red battle robe he wore became even more strikingly bright

Enough! Qi Tianyou shouted, "Do not quarrel; I do not want my brothers to harm each other."

"How do you understand these?" Qi Tianyou asked coldly

Shallow Water Clear ... ... an interesting name. Was that the first time you killed someone?

Thus, Qianshuiqing finally sighed and said, "Fangtou, I spoke too harshly just now, and I apologize to you. After drinking this cup of water wine, let us all call a few brothel girls to find some fun. As for this military affair, I am a novice, and regarding the matters of the gun and the bed... I might not necessarily lose to you."

With blood on his face, he did not even lift his eyelids, merely saying淡淡地说: "Go to hell, you delicate and precious thing... make the wound look a bit more realistic."

In fact, only an established military power like the Tianfeng Empire would train its citizens for a period of time before deploying them. In many other countries, so-called new recruits are often farmers who simply put down their hoes to pick up weapons. They may not even stand properly in formation, let alone engage in combat

Mu Xue laughed heartily: "Not bad, not bad. As a new recruit, having not fought a single battle, you dare to kill and supervise, organizing resistance. You truly have courage and insight. I ask you, what is your name?"

Certainly, the days in the Kingdom of Zhishui are not easy. They cannot defeat the Tianfeng people, which prevents them from leaving their borders. The nation's economy relies almost entirely on maritime trade. To combat pirates, Zhishui trains a large number of sailors each year to defend the coast, which further weakens the combat capability of their army.

This man of the grasslands has spent his life in military service, and the wounds he has sustained, both from battles and from the books he has read, are countless. He has come to regard life and death with indifference, and his only daily pleasure is to enjoy a few cups of liquor, finding joy in his own way. His original name was Mu Xue, but later, disliking the name for being too refined, he changed it to Mu Xue, believing that a man of the battlefield should not have such a delicate name.

This one is better than that one, Qi Tianyou immediately said

The so-called Threefold Heaven refers to the three gateway fortresses located along the Tian Mountain range—namely, the South Gate Pass, the North Gate Pass, and Jingyuan City

The training for new recruits in the Guolan Continent is comprehensive. Aside from the configuration of troops during drills, it is generally uncertain which recruits will become which type of soldier in the future. In this era where casualties can occur at any moment, no one knows what type of troops their unit will need at a given time. Therefore, it is quite normal for new recruits to undergo all-encompassing training, with their specific roles being determined only when they officially enter the battlefield, gradually enhancing their professional skills.

Qi Tianyou felt helpless: "There are only two, both have been brought. You can see for yourself."

I suppose so. Forceful | Rape? Haha, this term is somewhat novel, but quite fitting. I forcibly violated that girl. Hahahaha. " Fang Hu laughed wildly.

The sound of boots echoed from the staircase. Qi Tianyou ascended with his men and, upon seeing Mu Xue, respectfully saluted. He then called out: "Officer Qi Tianyou, under orders, has brought three thousand new recruits. Please, sir, proceed to take inventory."

Not afraid

That tall one is quite good, but this one... I don't see what's so great about it. Using a sword, tsk tsk. " Mu Xue shook his head.

What is the rush? We set off tomorrow; why not enjoy today? Didn't you just receive this month's military pay yesterday? It's not too late to spend all the money before heading back

Qi Tianyou nodded

Mu Xue Leng Xiao: "Are you trying to make me take back those twenty soldiers I lent you?"

What is the difference between you and bandits

With a single wave of his bloodied hand, he said, "No need to thank me, let's leave it at that. I am now well-fed and satisfied, and I need to go back for a nap. Send someone to the recruit camp to relay the message, telling them to take a good day off and go out to have some fun. Your people should also find some enjoyment."

If there is anything that distinguishes the existence or absence of conscience, it is that some people only impose restrictions on those from hostile nations, while others do not differentiate between individuals.

Indeed, spend it all. As a soldier, it is best not to think too far ahead. Enjoy the wine of today, regardless of the joys and sorrows of tomorrow. Just as you wrote in your diary, this is an era where life is as fragile as grass. If you cannot be certain of how long you will live... cherish every moment of the present. The joy of today may very well be the last joy for some of you. Remember what I taught you, soldier: you may die, but do not die with regrets. The joy of today may very well be the last joy for some of you. Remember what I taught you, soldier: you may die, but do not die with regrets.

Qi Tianyou and Fang Hufangbao were both taken aback by what he said, unable to believe that he would express such insightful thoughts. The content of his words was something they had never considered, yet it perfectly aligned with the reality of the situation, striking right at the core of their feelings.

Shallow Water Qing understands that cavalry is a very expensive military unit, as the forage consumed by warhorses is astonishingly large each day. Moreover, some special warhorses are fed with specialized forage that must be transported over long distances. Therefore, the cost of feeding a single horse is at least greater than that of the knight himself. Additionally, the training of a proper cavalryman typically requires no less than three to five years to become an excellent cavalryman.

Qi Tianyou nodded and called out: "Fang Hu, Fang Bao, and... Qianshui Qing, Lei Huo, you few come with me to meet Lord Mu, the rest stay here and rest."

"No need to collect it anymore." Mu Xue lazily waved his hand, signaling the others to come over and drink a few cups with him: "I already know what you did in Qingye City. You did well, but it was a bit too noisy. General Hong scolded me severely, saying I made the matter too big, and he had a hard time explaining it to the higher-ups. He wants me to whip you twenty times."

Mu Xue looked at him deeply and finally said, "Give them two horses. The entire Wei is cavalry; once they enter your post, they cannot be left to run behind your horses."

Fang Bao, sitting to the side, had quietly reached for the battle knife at his waist, but only a muffled grunt was heard, as Lei Huo was staring at him intently. It was unclear when, but this man, Lei Huo, had somehow moved to stand beside Qingshui.

Fang Hu laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "You little rascal, I suppose you can talk. I won't hold it against you. Come on, everyone, let's drink. After we finish drinking, let's go have some fun at m.hetushu.com."

The five large bowls clashed in the air, splashing a myriad of wine droplets everywhere

Since he has arrived in this world, he must learn to respect the laws of existence in this world

In Qianshuiqing's heart, there was a slight tremor

No, I understand. Warriors live on the edge of death for extended periods, enduring the torment of iron and blood every day. This torment drives one to madness, turning them bloodthirsty and brutal, disregarding life, death, and dignity. If a channel for release is not sought, this torment will eventually consume oneself. Therefore... warriors sometimes resort to extreme measures to vent their abundant energy, while also helping themselves forget the unforgettable experiences of the battlefield.

Mu Xue finally raised his head, and at that moment, a face as pale as paper appeared before Qingshui.

Warhorses are a valuable resource and are not easily given to new recruits. The reason Qi Tianyou brought Qianshuiqing and the others over is actually to demand warhorses. Mu Xue, being experienced in such matters, certainly understands his intentions.

At this moment, Qianshuiqing and Leihuo were still immersed in the joy of acquiring the warhorses

The Kingdom of Still Water is located by the Mo Sea, surrounded by mountains on both sides, with the vast ocean behind it. The only passage into Still Water is the Triple Heaven.

Upon entering Fengcang City, they were met by someone who had been waiting for them. A soldier said to Qi Tianyou, "Lord Mu is currently drinking at the Drunken Red Building; he wants you to go see him as soon as you arrive"

"Ten rounds? Can you handle it?" Qianshuiqing smiled lightly.

"Yes, we will return to undergo training right away," said Qianshuiqing and Leihuo in unison

Such new recruits are even more vulnerable than ordinary ragtag armies

This is precisely why the Tianfeng Empire is willing to expend national strength and repeatedly attack the Zhishui Kingdom. The people of Tianfeng are in urgent need of a secure and solid rear base

Among this guard, the one that Mu Xue admires the most is Qi Tianyou

Yes, I will obey your command

Shallow waters reflect a bittersweet smile

Qi Tianyou's expression turned serious as he shouted, "Yes! I will obey your command and willingly accept punishment when I return. However, my lord, you are precious and delicate, so there is no need for you to wield the whip yourself; I shall have my subordinates do it instead."

Yes

He said this and then left with a wave.

Qianshuiqing's expression immediately darkened: "You are the treacherous women of the people?"

He cast a deep glance at Qian Shuiqing; this young man, born with a proud spirit, showed no fear in the face of his leader, standing his ground without the slightest retreat.

At this moment, Mu Xue was drinking alone in the醉红楼, gazing out at the scenery beyond the building, his eyes narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

He said the last sentence with a somewhat playful tone.

What several?" Qi Tianyou began to play dumb

The shallow water is clear and tranquil.

Mu Xue nodded slightly: "Not bad, indeed not bad. When I killed someone for the first time, I felt so sick that I almost vomited my intestines out... Many people feel this way. I heard that some people are not afraid at all when they kill for the first time, and some don't even believe it. I never expected to witness one today, and moreover, they killed three with a single strike."

From a distance, Fengcang City appears with its deep moats and high walls, exhibiting formidable defenses. The scrutiny of passing pedestrians is stringent, as if this place is not the rear but rather the front line

Blood-soaked and dazed, he realized that Qi Tianyou was not one to boast lightly. However, he immediately understood: "So this kid killed those three deserters?"

If one cannot pass through the Three Heavens, one cannot conquer the Kingdom of Zhi Shui. The Heavenly Wind is obstructed by the Three Heavens, and this obstruction lasts for a decade

Fang Hu suddenly burst into laughter: "I say, Qi Shao, you are just like this, always talking about matters of life and death. Once on the battlefield, the offense and defense are in my hands, and life and death are determined by heaven. Let’s all enjoy a drink together. By the way, call over a few more courtesans; I haven't been with a woman for almost half a year, and today I must relieve my urges properly. I want to find a beautiful woman and go at it for ten rounds!"

"How many did you manage to bring back this time?" Mu Xue asked without raising his head.

Perhaps this is the sorrow of being a soldier

If you fear death, then do not become a soldier; once you have become a soldier, do not regard this as a justification for being a treacherous citizen. "Qianshuiqing also suddenly stood up.

Fang Bao sat to the side, chuckling softly

In the military, it is common for lower-ranking non-commissioned officers to care for their soldiers, while only those in high positions disregard human life, prioritizing achievements above all else. Although Mu Xue is from a military academy, he can easily mingle with the lowest-ranking soldiers, which is hardly surprising.

Qianshuiqing shook her head

As Qi Tianyou's words came to an end, Fang Hu, Fang Bao, and Qianshui Qing, along with others, fell silent simultaneously

It may be due to my relatively carefree nature
