The Book of Heaven

Chapter 61
The masters trained in the army, just like what Ma Detu said, had fought four or five moves with Ma Zheng, but they didn't even make a sound, and the same was true for Ma Zhao's side.

He could only hear Ma Zhao screaming. After all, he faced one more enemy than Ma Zheng, and at the same level, Ma Zhao's huge size did not have any advantages, but increased the area to be defended for no reason.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Zhao was cut several times by the opponent after just a few fights. If it wasn't because of the thick armor on his body, he might have been lying down by now.

And Ma Zhao's situation really made Ma Zheng dare not continue to fight, he told himself secretly that a quick decision was needed to save Ma Zhao's fate of defeat.

But in fact, Ma Zhao was not as unbearable as Ma Zheng thought.

In the face of the third uncle, Ma Deyuan or Ma Detu's level masters, Ma Zhao is certainly a bit vulnerable, but with his natural physical strength, Ma Zhao is not afraid of opponents of the same level, and he will not be afraid of just some skin trauma. Take his life easily.

On the other hand, the opponent who fought with Ma Zheng did not know how he was trained in the Dumi army. He was only in his early twenties. , but it can still be evenly matched.

Fortunately, after all, he is only a master in the army, and his tricks are far less subtle than Ma Zheng's. There are only a few routines to come and go, but Ma Zheng quickly figured out the details, and sold a loophole to attract the opponent to slash him. He is making progress Gong, directly smashed his xiphoid process with the head of a stick.

The xiphoid process is very fragile, and the Dumi warrior flew out backwards with a scream, startling him and Ma Zhao's fighting companions, and at the same time turning his head to look, but accidentally gave Ma Zhao a chance, one of them was photographed by Ma Zhao With a bump on the side of the shoulder, he instantly followed in the footsteps of his companions.

Out of the three, the second one didn't dare to do anything wrong, and finally let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away.

But Ma Zheng didn't dare to chase them down, because he found that Peng Ping and the others were not dead.

It should be said that the death is not over. Of the three newcomers, only Peng Ping is still panting, and even slowly opened his eyes when Ma Zheng walked over.

"Strange, how come you survived?"

Ma Zheng had just inspected the other two newcomers, and they both stabbed through the back with a knife in the back, smashed the liver and died, the knife skills are old and fierce.It is reasonable to say that Peng Ping's treatment would not be an exception, but he just had a stab wound on his waist, which was not fatal. It is estimated that the pain was so painful that he fainted just now, or he was just pretending to be dead.

"I have an iron plate behind me."

Peng Ping gave an answer that even Ma Zhao stared at. Basically, normal people would not think of putting an iron plate on the back waist, but Peng Ping said that he had seen many corpses, so he was very careful about the fatal parts.

"Did you do it in the wounded barracks?"

Hearing the reason Peng Ping said, Ma Zheng asked with a frown.

Peng Ping nodded embarrassingly, "I was just a corpse carrier."

"and then?"

Suddenly, Ma Zheng felt that he knew too little about Zhuangziying. Otherwise, how could Ma Zheng not know anything about Peng Ping's transfer of the wounded battalion?
It is precisely because of the transfer of the wounded barracks that it is hard labor like Peng Ping that he has the opportunity to take up the weapon and go to the battlefield.

"You came to die voluntarily?"

Seeing Ma Zhao bury the two new ding grasses, Peng Ping's face was very ugly, so when Ma Zheng asked about this, Peng Ping smiled wryly:
"Otherwise, what's the matter? At least you can still fight with a weapon. If you continue to do hard labor, your life will be worse than death if you go to another camp."

As far as Ma Zheng knew, under the laws of the empire today, anyone who was put on hard labor was usually implicated by family members' crimes, most of them were elders, and in fact, the person was not necessarily at fault.When he asked, Peng Ping was indeed implicated because of his father's theft. Not only did he become a hard laborer himself, but his younger sister also entered the official kiln.

This is also something that can’t be helped, since ancient times, the law of "continuous sitting" has never been cut off. Although the sentencing of the empire has been slightly reduced, there are still many people who are unlucky due to the law of continuous sitting.

"Compared to my sister, I actually don't think being a hard laborer is hard."

"Then why are you?"

"If I can get military merit, I can use military merit to redeem my sister from the pit of fire."

Peng Ping is still a thoughtful person, but Ma Zheng feels that it is not easy for him to make military achievements in the Zhuangzi camp, especially now that Ma Detu has even transferred the injured barracks. Doesn't it mean that the empire has given up the Zhuangzi camp? After all, in the entire Northwest Frontier Army, only the Zhuangzi Battalion may have the highest casualty rate.

However, it was Peng Ping who told Ma Zheng that it was impossible for Zhuangziying to retreat, not even a step back, because the name of Zhuangziying was not decreed by the current emperor, but had existed for hundreds of years.If Zhuangziying doesn’t come out, it’s enough, and once it comes out, it will have to take root forever. Whoever dares to order Zhuangziying to retreat is tantamount to giving up the honor of the empire.

Honor may be useless to ordinary people, but as long as it falls on the emperor, it will be a stain that will never be erased forever.

For more than 800 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties have expanded the territory and expanded the territory. Even if it is not good, they must keep it unchanged. There has never been an emperor who lost power and humiliated the country. Throw away even an inch of rivers and mountains in your own hands.

It is precisely because of this tradition that the empire's land is always in a process of changing and expanding, and the wars that are triggered often become the strong cohesion of the entire empire.

I don't know which expert set the tone for the development of the empire when the Han Dynasty founded the country, and it is still playing a huge role for more than 800 years.

Because there was an iron plate for Peng Ping to resist the knife, so his injury would not kill him, but it also made him lose the ability to move on. Ma Zheng couldn't help shaking his head after healed Peng Ping, what a trouble. The mission was not completed but two lives were lost, plus one wounded.

"Can you still hold on?"

"Death is impossible to die."

Peng Ping was relatively optimistic and could even laugh, but Ma Zheng thought differently. He hoped that Peng Ping could stay where he was and come to pick him up after he and Ma Zhao finished their mission.

This method is relatively safe, the only thing to worry about is whether Peng Ping will be picked up by wild animals.

"You have to think about it carefully. We will be back in two or three days. If you run into a bobcat or something like that, you will be blind for nothing."

"I understand this."

Peng Ping is also a sensible person, knowing the reason why Ma Zheng made such a decision.But he really had no choice.

Leaving Peng Ping behind, Ma Zheng and Ma Zhao moved quickly, because Ma Zheng had to speed up because he was worried that the guy who ran away would meet up with others, and such a Dumi warrior who suddenly appeared made Ma Zheng think Meet those Dumit people in the city of Home.

One of the women turned out to be the daughter of Elder Du Mi.

In Home City, Doyesha was going crazy.

Although he had dedicated Elder Dumi's daughter to his father, the respected Lord Nanduotuo, Nanduotuo's mood was still as bad as ever because of Lan Libo's death.
