I am the villain in the book

Soon, on the south side of the city wall, Wei Changtian met Liang Qin, who was extremely busy.

Like ordinary soldiers, she was dressed in plain blue armor, her long hair tied up behind her head, and her armor scales were stained with blood.

If Liang Qin's figure wasn't noticeably slimmer than that of an average soldier, it would be difficult to tell the difference between male and female from a distance.

In addition, she didn't act like a young lady at all, always working alongside the ordinary soldiers, not minding doing dirty work such as moving stones and transferring the wounded, which made her seem perfectly at home in this environment.

Good heavens, a Mulan from another world?

"Let me help."

Looking at Liang Qin, who was covered in dirt, Wei Changtian took the wounded soldier she was supporting and said casually, "Uncle Liang said you must have secretly gone to the front to kill enemies. It seems your father understands you."

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

“. . . ”

Surrounded by the chaotic noise, Liang Qin looked at Wei Changtian's sudden appearance, her face filled with unconcealed surprise.

She quickly helped Wei Changtian support the wounded soldier towards the military camp, and whispered:

"I'm fine... Brother Changtian, why are you here?"

"To see you."

Wei Changtian shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid you'll be reckless, and if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your father."

"By the way, have you been wearing the Kasaya of Brocade I gave you?"

"Yes."

Liang Qin's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was a little soft: "Brother Changtian, I should return the Kasaya to you."

"I just heard that you also went to the front to kill enemies, you..."

"I don't need it."

Waving his hand, Wei Changtian smiled and interrupted: "I have other life-saving treasures, as long as you're safe."

"Oh..."

The blush on her face deepened, Liang Qin lowered her head and stopped talking, as if she had instantly transformed from a "female general" into a "little wife."

Wei Changtian was used to her appearance, but the soldier who was being supported by the two of them was not in a good state.

The man had a knife wound on his abdomen, and although the bleeding had been stopped temporarily, the injury was still serious, and he had been on the verge of unconsciousness.

But now, after hearing Liang Qin and Wei Changtian's "ambiguous" exchange, his pale face turned red, and his lips trembled, as if his injury had suddenly worsened.

"Hmm?"

Sensing something was wrong, Wei Changtian frowned and asked the soldier in a deep voice:

"Brother, what's wrong? Does your wound hurt?"

"I..."

The soldier opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice extremely weak.

"Young Master Wei, I haven't married a wife yet..."

"Haven't married a wife yet?"

Wei Changtian was stunned: "So what?"

"So, so..."

The soldier glanced at Wei Changtian weakly, his expression painful: "So, can the young master and young lady not be so lovey-dovey in front of me? I feel uncomfortable..."

“. . . ”

After a brief moment of愣神, Wei Changtian couldn't help but chuckle: "Hahaha! Okay, we won't talk anymore!"

"Thank you, Young Master..."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes as if relieved of a heavy burden, and began to regulate his Qi and blood.

"Whirr!"

Amidst the sound of armor rubbing, teams of Shu soldiers hurried back and forth.

At this time, there was less than an hour before the next attack by the imperial army. The first wave of soldiers defending the city was gradually withdrawing from the city wall, replaced by a new batch of soldiers.

Currently, half of the Shu army are new recruits who have been enlisted for less than half a year, and this is actually their first time on the battlefield.

It can be seen that many people are very nervous, and some even fastened the copper buckles of their armor in the wrong position, and were occasionally reprimanded by their respective squad leaders.

To be honest, no matter how strict the training of new recruits is, their combat power cannot be compared with that of veterans.

This means that they are more likely to die on the battlefield than veterans.

This is also why the Shu army, as the more advantageous side defending the city, has slightly more casualties than the imperial army.

It should be known that this gap in individual battlefield experience is difficult to compensate for from a large strategic level.

Alas...

Looking at the tense faces hidden under the brims of their hats, Wei Changtian sighed softly, feeling a little helpless.

Many of these people will probably not even be able to hold their weapons steady later...

"Plop!"

As if to prove Wei Changtian's guess, a soldier next to him tripped over something and accidentally fell in front of him.

The man quickly scrambled to his feet, and his squad leader immediately ran over from the front of the line with a stern face, preparing to scold him.

However, the moment he saw Wei Changtian, his expression instantly changed from anger to shame.

"Young Master Wei!"

Standing up straight with a "snap", the squad leader immediately examined himself and said: "It's all because I haven't been strict enough in training on weekdays, making you laugh."

"It's okay."

Waving his hand, Wei Changtian turned to look at the soldier who had been standing in place with his head lowered since he had made a fool of himself.

"What's your name?"

"Ah?"

The soldier obviously didn't react and looked up blankly.

"You!"

Seeing this, the squad leader became even more angry and kicked him in the butt: "Speak up! Young Master Wei is asking what your name is!"

"Oh, oh, my, my name is Erzhu..."

The soldier finally reacted, his face flushed, and he hurriedly replied: "Li Erzhu."

Li Erzhu?

Hearing such a rustic name, Wei Changtian was slightly stunned.

But what surprised him even more was the soldier's appearance.

It was really a bit too young.

Although it was not to the extent of being a "child soldier", he was probably no more than fourteen or fifteen years old at most.

"How old are you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian couldn't help but ask: "Have you reached the age of hair-tying?"

"Hair-tying?"

Li Erzhu obviously didn't understand the meaning of this word, and didn't dare to ask Wei Changtian directly, so he had to secretly glance at his squad leader.

Fortunately, the latter reacted quickly, first saying to Wei Changtian, "People from the countryside don't have much knowledge, I hope you don't blame him," and then immediately lowered his voice and explained:

"The young master is asking if you are fifteen years old!"

"Ah, replying to the young master, I am not yet fifteen."

The soldier finally understood and hurriedly said: "I just turned fourteen in August."

Fourteen years old.

In his previous life, this age should still be in junior high school.

Taking a deep look at Li Erzhu, Wei Changtian's mood was quite complicated at this moment.

Although people in this world, both men and women, are more "precocious" than in his previous life, he still felt it was a bit sad to go to the battlefield at the age of fourteen.

I wonder how many people like Li Erzhu are there in the entire Shu army...

"Okay, nothing else, you guys go quickly."

Patting Li Erzhu on the shoulder, Wei Changtian didn't say anything more.

"Yes! Young Master!"

Seeing this, the squad leader quickly pulled Li Erzhu and gave him a military salute, and then prepared to go to the city wall to change guard.

However, just as Li Erzhu turned around and prepared to return to the team, he suddenly heard a sentence behind him.

"Li Erzhu, I believe you can survive."
