Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 3

"This is a tiger-head double-section spear!"

What Wang Changxin gave Zhang Qi was a black spear.

Zhang Qi picked it up and took a look.

It was quite heavy to carry, more than twice as heavy as the Da Zhou standard spear he was using now.

This tiger-head double-section gun is all made of fine iron from the gun head to the gun body. No wonder it weighs 58 catties.

The reason why the name has the word "tiger head" is because there is a tiger head as a transition between the tip of the gun and the body of the gun, which looks majestic.

According to Wu Zhang, the tip of this gun will glow with a faint golden light after seeing blood, because it is mixed with a small amount of blood gold. This is not only for good looks, but more importantly, it is to make the tip of the gun harder , sharper.

In addition, the word 'double section' is included in the name of the gun because the gun can be divided into two.

Under Wang Changxin's guidance, Zhang Qi held the middle of the long spear, twisted it hard, and with a click, the long spear in his hand instantly turned into a short spear and a short stick.

After putting it on, twist it again, and it is reassembled into a long gun.

The joints are seamless and seamless, showing extremely superb craftsmanship.

"Good gun!"

After playing with it for a while, Zhang Qi couldn't put it down immediately.

The only shortcoming of this gun is that it is a little heavier, and it consumes double energy when using it.However, after he got a body training method to raise his Qi and blood, it would not be a problem at all.

In addition to being slightly heavier, the rest are advantages.

Sturdy, durable, sharp, good-looking, and can be split into two, easy to carry around.

Especially for this trip to the grassland, the two of them wanted to sneak into the territory of the Quanrong people. It would be too ostentatious to act with a spear.

The corporal leader must have considered this when he gave him the gun.

"Captain, where did you get this gun?"

Zhang Qi asked, even a fool can see that this tiger-headed double-section gun is very expensive, and the regulations are very high, let alone a small soldier, the corporal leader himself is probably not qualified to use it.

"Hey, I went to the armory last night, bribed the guards, and picked up a lot of good things from it..."

Wang Changxin said in a low voice.

Only then did Zhang Qi know that the tiger-headed double-section gun in his hand was once a weapon of a centurion. After the centurion died in battle, the gun was taken into the armory and has been dusty. for many years.

The corporal leader only spent less than ten taels of silver, and got this tiger-head double-section gun worth hundreds of silver from the guards of the armory station.

of course.

The corporal leader will not treat himself badly.

He got himself a cold iron golden feather saber, and two pieces of soft silver armor that only cavalrymen are qualified to wear.

"Captain, are you not afraid of being discovered by the military justice department?"

Zhang Qi was surprised by the daring of the corporal. In his impression, the corporal was a shrewd and cautious person. Such a serious violation of military law did not seem like he could do it.

"Afraid of a bird."

But Wang Changxin sneered: "This time we are going north, we can come back and talk about it, so what if we violated the military law. Besides, there are many people who do this kind of thing, and I am not bad."

Zhang Qi nodded.

The sky is falling, and the corporal is holding it up.

The two began to prepare before leaving. First, they put on silver silk soft armor inside, covered with dirty sheepskin robes, and wore wolf fur caps on their heads... This is the standard attire of the Quanrong people.

All weapons are hidden close to the body.

I didn't bring much rations, I only brought some pancakes and jerky, barely enough for a few days.

After everything was ready, Wang Changxin took Zhang Qi, under the cover of night, secretly left the beacon tower and headed for the northern prairie.

After walking three miles to the north.

The two suddenly changed direction and turned eastward.

There is a mountain in the east, named Beiman Mountain, which runs from north to south and stretches for thousands of miles. It reaches the endless sea of ​​ice in the north and borders the Great Wall in the south, dividing the entire northern prairie into two.

Walking on the prairie is easy to expose, even if they disguise themselves as dog soldiers and herdsmen, it is still not safe. If they encounter patrol dog cavalry, they will be able to recognize them as fakes by taking a closer look.At that time, their two-legged ones will not be able to run on four-legged ones.

According to Wang Changxin's plan, they first went east to Beimang Mountain, and then walked north along the mountains.

Once in danger, run up the hill.

Beimang Mountain is high and densely forested. If you drill inside, you will not be afraid even if you encounter more dogs and cavalry.

Walked for another two hours.

The originally flat terrain gradually became rugged, and a huge black shadow appeared on the horizon ahead.

That is Beimang Mountain.

The two cheered up, quickened their pace, and finally arrived at the foot of Beiman Mountain before dawn.

"Sure enough, Wangshan ran to death."

Zhang Qi said with emotion.

After driving all night, both he and the corps leader Wang Changxin were a little tired, so the two decided to find a place to eat and sleep.

Fortunately, here is Beiman Mountain, there is no shortage of places to hide.

Soon, the two found a natural cave, built a bonfire with the firewood they had picked up, heated up the pancakes and jerky, and ate a simple meal.

"Sleep for a few hours first, and then we'll go on the road when we regain our strength."

Wang Changxin said.

The two lay resting by the campfire, not daring to sleep to death. Once there was any disturbance outside the cave, they would wake up at any time.

……

After a few hours.

When Zhang Qi woke up, he found that Wu Zhang was practicing not far away.

I saw that the corporal made a squatting posture, accompanied by abnormally heavy breathing, the muscles on his body were trembling rapidly, and his skin became red, like a roasted prawn, exuding an astonishing smell. heat...

Zhang Qi didn't interrupt, but just watched silently.

He knew that the corporal leader was practicing a special technique called "Body Training Method".

This technique can not only temper the body, but also greatly increase the blood. After practicing, the body is as strong as a cow, and the blood is as strong as fire. It can continue to burst into powerful combat power on the battlefield.

What Zhang Qi lacks now is precisely this kind of exercise that can enhance his own blood.

It's a pity that the corporal leader couldn't teach him.

Because this "breathing body training method" was exchanged by the corporal leader for military merit, it can only be practiced by the corporal leader alone, and it is strictly forbidden to give or receive it privately.

If he wants to obtain the exercises, he must rely on military merits in exchange.

The reason why Zhang Qi is willing to participate in this dangerous mission is that the corps leader treats him well on weekdays, and another more important reason is that he needs military merits to exchange for new skills.

A stronger skill than the Five Tiger Spear.

After a while.

Wang Changxin finished his training, opened his mouth, and let out a long stream of scorching white air.

The eyes are even more brilliant.

"Zhang Sanlang, when you have accumulated enough military skills, you can also practice this kind of internal martial arts."

Seeing Zhang Qi staring at him intently, Wang Changxin said: "Ten years of hard work on external skills is not as good as one year on internal skills. If you practice the outside but not the inside, it will be in vain."

"Been taught a lesson."

Zhang Qi cupped his fists.

After the two ate some dry food, they left the cave and headed north.

The next two days.

The two walked along the foot of Beimang Mountain and continued to explore the north. After traveling day and night, they walked almost 150 miles away.

The good news is that they did not encounter the dangerous and difficult dog cavalry.

The bad news is that they traveled all the way, not to mention the dog soldiers, and they didn't even meet a savage.

The anxious look on Wang Changxin's face became more and more intense.

The time limit given to him by the centurion was only seven days. If he could not capture a dog Rong to go back within seven days, the mission would have failed.

At that time, the military law will deal with it, and life and death are unpredictable.

"Can't go any further north."

Wang Changxin stopped, pointed to the thick snow on the ground, and said, "The further north you go, the colder it gets. Although the Quanrong people are hardy, they don't like living in this icy and snowy place. In my opinion, let's go back." , and then expand the search area to the grassland to the west to see if we can find traces of the Dog Rong people..."

"Hoohoo!"

While he was talking, a huge roar like a thunderbolt from the blue suddenly came from the depths of the forest on the mountain.

The snow on the trees was shaken down.

"No, it's the Northern Mang Tiger!"

Wang Changxin's face changed drastically, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Qi, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, let's go."

Northern Mang Tiger?
Zhang Qi glanced at the flustered corporal leader. To make the corporal leader so frightened, it must be that the northern mang tiger is not a kind tiger.

He didn't ask any more questions, but followed the corporal leader and ran to the grassland to the west.

After running for more than 20 miles in one breath, the two stopped until they were completely away from the forest.

"so close!"

Wang Changxin had a look of lingering fear.

Only now did Zhang Qi have time to ask: "Captain, what is so scary about this Beiman tiger?"

"The northern mang tiger is a different species of tiger. It is born with supernatural power, and its fur is even more invulnerable. Let alone the two of us, it is the master of the true essence who has cultivated innate qi. If he encounters an adult northern mang tiger, he will not be able to touch it." Doomed."

Wang Changxin took a breath and said, "Five years ago, a centurion in the army brought people to Beiman Mountain to hunt, but he met a Beiman tiger on the way. In the face, the North Mang Tiger smashed his head with his claws, and the rest of the people also died, only one soldier pretended to be dead and escaped."

"Hiss! It's so terrifying!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath. Fortunately, they ran fast and didn't rush into the Lin Hai to throw a sliding shovel at the Northern Mang Tiger...

"Let's go."

The two turned around and headed south.

Because of the shadow brought by the Beiman Tiger, they did not dare to approach Beiman Mountain any more.

Fourth day.

The two were walking on the endless prairie. Wang Changxin, who was walking in front, suddenly squatted down, grabbed a pile of feces from the ground, turned around and said to Zhang Qi:
"This horse manure is still hot!"

"Great!"

"Ha ha!"

His face was full of excitement, as if what he was holding was not a pile of horse dung, but some kind of rare treasure.

Zhang Qi understood his feelings.

There are only the last three days left, and if we don't meet the Quanrong people again, the corporal leader is afraid that he will go crazy.

The horse manure is still hot, which means that people have not gone far...

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the grass half a person's height in front of him. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow flashing in the grass.

"Captain, be careful..."

Before the words were finished, there was a whoosh, and a sharp arrow pierced the air, hitting Corporal Chief's neck from behind with incomparable precision.

Wang Changxin clutched his shot-through neck, stared at Zhang Qi with wide eyes, and moved his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something...

As a result, he didn't say a single word until his body crashed to the ground.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the next second, two more arrows were shot from the grass, this time the target was not Wang Changxin, but Zhang Qi who was shocked on the spot.

"call out!"

Zhang Qi lowered his head, dodging an arrow that was shot at his face.

however.

Another arrow hit his chest fiercely, with such force that it directly knocked him to the ground.

After Zhang Qi's body twitched a few times, he soon became silent.

"call!"

A cold north wind blows.

When the wind blows and the grass is low, several figures of dog Rong people appear.
