Qin Gong

Chapter 39
"Tieqi, let's go, go and have a look!!"

"Let's go!!"

It was the first time for a new recruit who had just joined the army to hear such a movement, the first time he heard the sound of iron hoofs that seemed to overwhelm mountains and seas, so he was very excited.

After all, most of the recruits who joined the army were the children of civilians. Usually, even when they went to the county town, they could only see some Qin officials riding back and forth on horseback.

They had never seen this cavalry army.

"Yan, let's go take a look too!"

"Let's go!"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I am idle, why don't we take a look together."

Several teenagers looked at Bai Yan and spoke one after another.

They all know Bai Yan's character, he seems to be withdrawn,
They didn't like Bai Yan very much before, because they felt that Bai Yan was a coward, but when they were practicing today, they saw Bai Yan wearing a suit of armor and sweating profusely.

No matter whether Bai Yan was really afraid of death or not, but today Bai Yan insisted on wearing a set of heavy armor to practice with them, which really made them look at him differently.

"go!"

Gui also dragged Bai Yan, and followed the young men towards the main gate of the camp.

While Bai Yan smiled wryly, he didn't say anything. He had seen the world-renowned Qin cavalry, and they were elite.But he has never seen an army of cavalry.

But along the way, unlike Gui and the other teenagers who were excited and excited, Bai Yan noticed that the other senior soldiers in the Lantian Camp had vaguely worried expressions on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan frowned.

This is Lantian Camp!They look like that.He must know what the arrival of the cavalry army means.

"Is there going to be a war?"

Bai Yan was puzzled.

Even if there is a real war, the people of Qin are fond of meritorious service, and the people of Qin are warlike, how could it be possible?
It's Zhao Guo! !

No, it should be said that he was afraid of Zhao Guo Li Mu.

Bai Yan thought that a few years ago, Qin State was defeated by Zhao State several times, and even two years ago, General Fei and others were also defeated by Zhao State in that battle.

Although the elite cavalry did not tell them how many casualties there were in that battle, it is not difficult to imagine that most of the elite cavalry under General Fei's command could have been killed or injured if the faces of the elite cavalry were so embarrassing.

Bai Yan knew that maybe this was the reason why those soldiers were worried.

Zhao Guo Li Mu.

A name that makes Qin people turn pale when they talk about it, and fear when they think about it.

"Look, look!"

"Look, it's all iron cavalry!"

Outside the main gate of Lantian, a number of recruits looked at the army of iron cavalry outside the camp, all showing shocked expressions.

This is the first time they have seen the cavalry army with their own eyes since they were young.

Looking at the thousands of war horses, a young man's eyes were hot and yearning.

"It's like being one of them."

A teenager said involuntarily.

And this sentence also expresses the aspirations of all the new recruits.

It would be great if they could also become cavalry.Although it is dangerous, when you go back, it must be extremely majestic. It is estimated that women from ten miles and eight villages will look at it high.

Night falls.

Bai Yan was lying in the tent, the place where he slept, but it was different from the past, although the camp was lively tonight, one person was very quiet.

This is the first time Bai Yan has seen Gui, who has always been lively and cheerful. From Shen Shi to now, he hasn't said a word.

Bai Yan also doesn't know why Gui has been silent since seeing the cavalry army.

In the camp, other teenagers were talking about the cavalry army they saw today, and their words were full of excitement.

"what happened?"

Bai Yan pushed Gui next to him, and asked in a low voice.

This was the first time that Bai Yan took the initiative to care about others other than his elder brother Shui Shou. After all, Bai Yan didn't have many friends since he was a child in the village.

When they came to Lantian Barracks, Gui was the first one willing to talk to him.When he was not in the camp, Gui was also the one who helped him with his sword and armor.

Now that Gui was abnormal, Bai Yan asked.

"Follow me out!"

In the darkness, Gui's very small voice came, and then Bai Yan saw a black figure get up.

Seeing this, Bai Yan also stood up.

The other people in the tent didn't care when they saw someone walking out of the tent, thinking that Bai Yan and Gui were just going to relieve their emergency.

Night shrouded the entire Lantian camp.

Bai Yan followed Gui, and the two came to the practice area and sat down anywhere.

It's quiet all around.

Gui looked up at the stars in the sky.

"I want to be a cavalry!"

Gui said softly, under the moonlight, his face was full of yearning.

Bai Yan smiled.He thought what was wrong with Gui, because he had the same feelings as everyone else, and wanted to be an iron knight soldier.

Bai Yan was not surprised by Gui's thoughts.After all, after seeing the cavalry, other people in the tent today felt yearning for it.

It is not surprising that Gui also wants to be a cavalry soldier.

"Yan, why did you enlist in the army?"

Gui asked, why did Bai Yan enlist in the army even though he was obviously a child of an aristocratic family.

"Me? I want to go back with fame."

Bai Yan glanced at Gui, and then looked at the stars in the sky.

"I have a relative who is waiting for me."

The corners of Bai Yan's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Gui heard Bai Yan's words, he turned to look at Bai Yan, and when Bai Yan mentioned that relative, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Gui knew that the "relatives" that Bai Yan just mentioned must be the most important people in Bai Yan's heart.

"very nice!"

Gui was a little envious, and then looked up at the stars and the moon.

"My parents only have one son, so I think I will do drills in Lantian for a year, and after serving as a soldier for another year, I will go home and do farming."

Gui muttered, seeming to recall what his parents told him a few months ago before he left the village.

Bai Yan nodded after listening to Gui's words.

Bai Yan knew that Gui's parents wanted 'Gui' to serve as a pawn after two years of military service.Every year in the future, you only need to go to a certain city for military service for one month, and you can farm at home during the rest of the time.

The state of Qin has to serve until the age of fifty-six, and those who have no titles are even sixty. However, when Shang Yang formulated the laws of Qin, he put farming in the first place.

After all, the food and grass needed by the army in the war between the two countries is also sky-high.

These are all mentioned by my mentor, it's been too long, Bai Yan doesn't know if I remember correctly, after all, he used to be in Linzi of Qi State, Qi State is not happy to say these things.

"You should listen to your parents."

Bai Yan said.

If it was at the beginning, Bai Yan still thought that in life, one has to fight hard, and it is good to make meritorious deeds.

But now that he knew Gui's family background, Bai Yan finally understood what it meant when he said that he wanted to be a cavalry soldier.

After hearing Bai Yan's words, Gui looked at Bai Yan.

"My parents told me about a marriage."

Gui said, eyes a little dodgy, a little shy.

"In that village? How old is it? Is it beautiful?"

Bai Yan also laughed, and couldn't help teasing, who would have thought that Gui already had a fiancée when everyone in the camp was still chatting about the woman they had met.

I'm afraid Liang Lang and the others will be shocked if they don't know about this.

After all, everyone in the camp knew that Gui's family background was not particularly good, so it never occurred to him that Gui's parents would actually trick Gui into a marriage.

"Hey~! I haven't seen it either."

Gui grinned.

"Yan, I don't want to make that woman feel wronged when I marry that woman in the future."

Gui took a deep breath and glanced at Bai Yan.Tell me why you want to be a cavalry.

Seeing those iron cavalry today, Gui thought, if he could become an iron cavalry in the future and go home and marry that woman, that would be great.

Hearing this, Bai Yan looked at Gui, perhaps at this moment, Bai Yan could understand why Gui wanted to be an iron cavalry soldier so much.

Gui looked at the stars in the night and said softly.

"Yan, you said that when I go home, I will be a cavalry soldier, how majestic it must be."
