From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 18: Summoned as a personal soldier; bandits robbed (please read~~)

The sixteen styles of the sea-skimming gun were not complicated. Wu Fengdeng practiced them often and often looked at the diagrams to correct any omissions.

Wang Hu, on the other hand, was leisurely eating the roasted whole lamb, drinking warm wine, and occasionally giving instructions with a knife.

About two hours later.

Wu Fengdeng straightened his body and swung his heavy gun around him. The afterimages of the cold light were like waves.

bass!
Then the gunshots stopped, the sound lingered, and the sharp wind made the tent bulge a little.

"I'm making good progress. I've memorized it. I just need to practice diligently to achieve the desired results."

Wang Hu nodded with satisfaction, then asked Wu Fengdeng to sit down, and threw him a knife and a pot of liquor.

He stopped being polite and ate some meat and drank some wine to fill his hungry stomach.

Seeing him eating so lavishly, Wang Hu poured himself a glass of wine and said slowly, "Xiao Wu, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"I am supporting you tonight because I have high hopes for you. Are you willing to become my personal soldier in the future?"

Wu Fengdeng swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and nodded seriously: "I am willing!"

"I am a belligerent and ambitious person, and my personal soldiers will also need to charge into battle. In the future, the situation will be treacherous and changeable, and there will be many dangerous battles around me. Are you afraid?"

"I am not afraid!"

"Okay, drink this glass of wine, and I will officially accept you as my personal soldier."

Wang Hu slashed his palm with the knife, and blood dripped into the wine jar and spread out.

Wu Fengdeng raised his head and drank it, then stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir!"

As a person who has lived two lives, he naturally understands how important it is to be recognized and appreciated by his superiors. This is his opportunity and he must not let it go.

Moreover, Wu Fengdeng understood that he had no choice but to obey.

Wang Hu sent me guns and martial arts, and it was obvious that he treated me as his confidant and had tied me up long ago.

If I say no now, I might not be able to leave the tent tonight.

……

Two days later, on New Year's Day, the soldiers who had returned from their vacation returned to the camp one after another.

At the beginning of the new year, the training task is naturally heavy. In order to make the soldiers who just celebrated the New Year concentrate this morning, the coach woke everyone up at daybreak and started training in the remaining night.

At 5 a.m., Wu Fengdeng had just finished his morning exercise when a messenger suddenly came running over in a hurry.

"Who is Wu Fengdeng? General Wang has an urgent matter to summon you!"

Looking at his flushed face and breathless state, I knew he must have run all the way here.

Wu Fengdeng immediately came to Wang Hu's tent.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing inside, probably more than ten, and Qiao Li was among them, but his face was very serious this time, not as dandy as usual.

The atmosphere is so solemn, I'm afraid something has happened.

Wang Hu saw that everyone was present, and then he spoke in a deep voice, "You are all elite soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion. Some of you are my subordinates, and some of you are under the command of other centurions. But today you only have one identity, the Western Suburbs Scouts."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to a sheepskin map behind the bench and pointed to a village in the western suburbs of Guyang County.

"Yesterday on New Year's Eve, a village in the western suburbs was robbed by bandits. The person who reported the case has died in front of the county government office. From what he said, the bandits were cruel and came and went without a trace."

"So the deputy general ordered me to gather the best troops and go to the western suburbs to investigate the scene in order to search for traces of the bandits."

"I have selected you from the vanguard camp. Some are good at finding traces, some are familiar with the terrain, and some are good at fighting. You will each perform your duties and set off to explore the western suburbs from now on."

Wu Fengdeng looked at the place he pointed to and could not help but frowning slightly. Guyang County is located at the border, and refugees, bandits and mountain bandits emerge in an endless stream. This has been the status quo for hundreds of years.

However, these bandits do not rob at all times. They generally do not come down the mountain to cause trouble during festivals, especially major festivals like New Year's Eve.

After all, causing trouble on a day of national celebration would be a huge slap in the face of the county government and the garrison. Anyone who knows the rules would not do that.

Therefore, Wu Fengdeng found it difficult to understand why this group of bandits committed the crime on New Year's Eve.

"Since we are a team, we need a leader. Xiao Wu, how about you lead the team?"

Wang Hu immediately changed the subject and put the position of team leader in front of him.

At that moment, the eyes of the surrounding soldiers were all focused on him. Many veteran soldiers looked puzzled, but no one said anything.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Wu Fengdeng knew that this was an opportunity given by Wang Hu. If he completed the task well, he would definitely take credit for it.

I immediately accepted it firmly.

"That's good. You all go back and prepare. Lead the horses and set out at noon."

After walking out of the tent, Qiao Li approached him slyly and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, I didn't expect that General Wang thought so highly of you! Scout leader, if we get any clues, you will be the first to take credit!"

"The night before, the King's Commander had already accepted me as his personal soldier. This was also a test for me."

"Personal soldiers?!"

Qiao Li stared with his small eyes as wide as he could, and his shock was visibly evident.

"Incredible! You've just gotten out of the rookie period and you've been recruited as a personal soldier by the king. Tsk tsk, when you get promoted and make a fortune in the future, don't forget your brothers!"

Wu Fengdeng glanced at him and said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. Go get your equipment. We should go there early and come back early before dark."

"okay!"

Soon, Wu Fengdeng came to the stable with the horse transfer order given to him by Wang Hu and selected a strong black horse.

Put on the saddle and step into the stirrups.

Hu~
This horse had been tamed, and it understood that it would be able to go outside and have fun once it was led out, so it neighed excitedly and stamped its four hooves non-stop.

Wu Fengdeng gripped the reins tightly and subconsciously adjusted his body posture, only then did he adapt to the feeling of riding a horse.

Fortunately, the original owner used to be a shepherd boy in the village and had learned good horse riding skills since he was a child. Although Wu Fengdeng had never ridden before, he quickly got the hang of it based on his body's instinctive adjustments.

At noon, snow dust was raised at the entrance of the camp, and a team of fourteen people rode their horses and whipped their horses, heading straight to the western suburbs of Guyang County.

The village in the western suburbs was only a hundred miles away from the military camp, and everyone arrived there in about an hour.

It was still desolate outside the city, the cold wind of late winter was still biting, and a vast gray area occupied the entire view.

Wu Fengdeng rode his horse to the top of a hill and looked into the distance.

With the help of [Visit], his field of vision has expanded to five miles, and he can see the looted village in the distance.

The small village covers an area of ​​no more than ten acres, with about thirty houses, all of which are low thatched houses or wooden houses, distributed in strips along the edge of a glacier.

There are only a few dead and old trees in the village, and their bare branches tremble in the wind.

Moreover, the overall color looks a bit charred, as if it had been burned by a fire, and there is no trace of any living creature.

However, when everyone got closer, they were frightened by the scene before them.
