Chapter VIII Joining the Army

The mount was still a little worse. Although it cost more than half of the copper coins Chen Yingliang got from selling the engagement jade pendant to buy this horse, when the flying cavalry was risking to run away and get rid of the horse, it was still at noon on June 11th. Dongdu New City was already martial law, and the inner and outer gates were closed, blocking Chen Yingliang's footsteps of entering the city to join the army.

After finally coming here, Chen Yingliang certainly refused to give up. After thinking about it, Chen Yingliang circled around the Dongdu for a short half way outside Anxi Gate in the northeast corner of the Dongdu. From the buildings outside the city, he judged that Anxi Gate should be a city gate that the people could enter and exit. Then he got off the horse and walked slowly towards the city gate. As a result, just as he approached the moat, before he had time to walk on the moat, a loud shout came from above the city gate, "Stop! I was blind? I didn't see that the city gate was closed. What do I want to do when I went up the bridge?"

Chen Yingliang looked in a voice and saw that the person who was calling to him on the city wall was a Sui army general wearing Mingguang armor. At the same time, a row of bows and arrows were lit behind the battlements of the city wall. Chen Yingliang was somewhat panicked. After taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly: "General, don't misunderstand, Xiaosheng is from Daxing. I heard that the rebel thief Yang Xuangan rebelled and threatened the Dongdu. He came to join the army and serve the country. He killed the rebel Yang Xuangan, and please store it!"

"Join the army?" Chen Yingliang's answer made the Sui army general stunned. He looked at Chen Yingliang condescendingly for a few times, and then asked loudly: "How old are you this year? Are you twenty-one years old?"

"Xiaosheng is seventeen years old this year." Chen Yingliang answered truthfully, and at the same time he was a little confused, thinking to himself, asking me what I'm doing at age?

"Baby boy, do you want to spend my time?" The Sui general was furious and roared: "The law of this dynasty, the soldiers of the government must be at least twenty-one years old, and the 17-year-old little doll, come and get involved? Get out! I want to join my Right Martial Guard, and I will talk about it when I am twenty-one!"

"There are still such regulations for joining the Sui Dynasty?" This time it was Chen Yingliang's turn, because Chen Yingliang really didn't know that the Sui Dynasty army had such regulations.

"Get out! Or you'll shoot the arrow!" The Sui general was impatient and urged: "I want to be a supportive soldier in the village. Go to the old city of Luoyang. This is the Dongdu Imperial City. If you don't collect the village soldiers, get out immediately!"

"June, can you let me speak closer?" Chen Yingliang begged, wanting to show Fang Xuanling's letter of recommendation to see if there are anyone in Dongdu City who knows the goods.

"Stop talking nonsense! Get out!" The Sui general did not take Chen Yingliang's stubbornness and shouted: "The east capital is martial law, no idle people are allowed to enter and leave. If you want to join the army and eat food, go to the old city to the west, or go to Bai Simaban, where you are fighting, and you may be taken away!"

"White Simaban is fighting?" Chen Yingliang was happy and asked hurriedly: "General, how can Bai Simaban go? The young actor is willing to go to the front line to serve!"

"Hahahaha! He is really a boy who is not afraid of death!" The Sui general laughed, and the Sui soldiers beside him were also burst into laughter. - There is no way to laugh. You know, just yesterday when Fan Zigai, the left-behind Dongdu, decided to send troops to meet the enemy, the generals and soldiers in Dongdu City were all afraid of being picked on their own team. As a result, they were not picked out of the city to fight happily, and the people who were picked into battle were crying and wiped their tears. Now Chen Yingliang was stunned to find out where there was a battlefield. The Dongdu defenders who were lucky enough to be sent to the battlefield were really helpless.

After laughing, the Sui general was thinking of watching the show and really pointed out the way to the Baisimaban battlefield. He also fortunately told Chen Yingliang that the leader of the army to suppress the rebellion was Pei Hongce, Henan Zanzhi. Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, and he immediately got on the horse and rushed to the east battlefield. Looking at Chen Yingliang's happy departure, the Sui general soldiers on the city wall\u4e2

A man leaned forward and laughed loudly, but the joy was so sad. Just when they were laughing so happily, there was a majestic shout from behind, "What are you laughing? Why are you on guarding the city walls? Why are you losing your composure?!"

Hearing this scolding, everyone looked back and was shocked to death. They quickly closed their voices and saluted. It turned out that the person who appeared in front of them was the Dongdu who was left behind with a large number of supervisors. Now the highest military and civil affairs chief in the Dongdu city - Fan Zigai!

Fan Zigai, who is nearly 70 years old, has white hair, but she is still wearing dozens of kilograms of Mingguang armor. Her armor is neatly tidy, her old body stands straight as pine, with an extremely majestic expression and aura that is overwhelming. She shouts, "What's wrong? Why do you laugh like this?"

"Reporting to the left, a little ghost wanted to join the army just now, saying that he wanted to serve the country and kill the rebel Yang Xuangan." The Sui general said truthfully: "Because he was only seventeen years old, the last general did not take him in. He said that if he wanted to be a rural soldier, he could go to the front line of Bai Simaban. As a result, the little ghost was really stupid and went to the front line. The brothers felt it was strange and laughed."

"What's ridiculous about this?" Fan Zigai was furious and said angrily: "Look at his ambition. He wanted to serve the country at the age of seventeen, and wanted to kill the rebel Yang Xuangan. Let's see who is more ridiculous?!"

The soldiers of the Sui army present were speechless, but Fan Zigai shouted again: "Also, don't think that he is only seventeen years old, so he is destined to not be able to do big things! Let me tell you, the Qi County Zanzhuan, Zhang Xutuo, has taken a new young general named Luo Shixin this year, only fourteen years old! Do you know how many enemies this fourteen-year-old young general killed on the battlefield in Weishui? Tell me that you are scared to death! After the battle of Weishui, there were three thieves and twenty-five thieves and soldiers whom he killed alone!”

"Four-year-old little devil, so crazy?!"

When the Sui army soldiers heard this, they took a breath, and some people screamed in shock. Fan Zigai snorted heavily and said, "I haven't seen anyone just now, but with his ambition, I dare to say that you missed someone.\

u624d! You will regret it in the future!”

"Sir, should we send someone to chase him back?" The Sui general said timidly: "He has just left, and it is still time to chase him now."

"No need." Fan Zigai shook his head and said, "Since he has gone to Bai Simaban, he must have gone to Pei Hongce. Pei Hongce is there to fight against the thief Yang Xuanting, which can give him a chance to show his strength. If this kid is really a talent, I will definitely see him in the future."

The Sui general agreed timidly and retreated aside. Fan Zigai turned his gaze to the east battlefield and murmured in his heart, "It should have reached the stage of fierce fighting. Pei Hongce and Da Xi are kind-hearted, don't let me down."

……………………

Let's turn back and see what Chen Yingliang is doing. After saying goodbye to the Sui general who was guiding the way, Chen Yingliang wanted to go straight to the battlefield with a quick horse, but after running for two or three miles, Chen Yingliang, who had been running for several days, was a little overwhelmed with the slow horse under his crotch. The speed was getting slower and slower, and he began to foam in his mouth. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to prevent this slow horse from exhausting, Chen Yingliang had to dismount again and walk for a while to save horsepower. Fortunately, Bai Simaban was not too far away and could arrive before dark on foot.

Thinking about how Pei Hongce, who was leading the army to suppress the rebellion, Chen Yingliang had already walked seven or eight miles without realizing it. Seeing that the mount had recovered a certain amount of strength, Chen Yingliang got on the horse again and prepared to continue to advance eastward. However, after jogging, Chen Yingliang suddenly heard the noise in front of him. A knight wearing bright light armor but not wearing a helmet rushed over. There were about a dozen cavalry holding weapons behind him, constantly shouting, "Chase! Chase! Catch him! Catch this official!"

"What happened?" Chen Yingliang was shocked, subconsciously strangled his mount and quickly drew his sword in his hand.

"Hao!" When Chen Yingliang was only about ten steps away from Chen Yingliang, the war horse under the crotch of the Helmetless Knight suddenly nippled and fell to the ground with a bang. It was at this time that Chen Yingliang saw that the war horse of the Helmetless Knight was injured, and the horse's blood had dyed one leg red. At the same time, after the war horse fell down, he pressed the disheveled knight under the horse.

"Hahaha!" The cavalry chasing the helmetless knight laughed wildly, roaring, "Catch the live ones! Catch the live ones!"

"Little brother, save me!" The Knight without Helmet also screamed and begged with a crying voice: "Save me, save me!"

"What to do?!" Without knowing the situation at all, Chen Yingliang made a choice to decide the direction of his life, "I would rather help in time than add icing on the cake! Saving people! Reaping more than helping the winners!"

After a moment of determination, Chen Yingliang immediately slapped his horse and rushed up. He went to the horse without a helmet, jumped off the horse and pulled him out of the war horse, and pushed him onto his mount. The pursuers behind were furious when they saw it and cursed, "Boy! You are looking for death! Stop! Stop! Don't run!"

There were more than a dozen pursuers behind him. Of course, Chen Yingliang would not stop running. Without saying a word, he climbed up his mount and sat behind the helmetless knight. He and he fled west with him. The pursuers behind refused to give up and continued to chase him.

Logically speaking, it was difficult for Chen Yingliang to run too fast after carrying two people. Fortunately, the stamina of the pursuers behind may have consumed a lot of energy in the previous battles, so Chen Yingliang and the helmetless knight ran for more than two miles before one pursuer barely chased Chen Yingliang's side and waved his sword to slash Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang quickly swung his sword to fight, using the military sword technique left in the memory of the dead ghost Chen Yingliang, and collided with the pursuer's sword and tried hard to open the pursuer's sabre. The pursuer exclaimed and slashed with another knife without saying a word.

"Damn it! Fight!" In the chaotic times, Chen Yingliang did not want to chop people, but he did not want to be chopped. Seeing that the pursuer wanted his life twice in succession, the pursuer behind him was getting closer and closer, Chen Yingliang also took the initiative, neither dodging nor dodging, and shouted and swung his sword to directly chop the pursuer's head, using the rogue fighting style that died together.

"Damn it!" The pursuer was beaten by Chen Yingliang's rogue \

u5413 jumped, and then won the victory. He was unwilling to die with Chen Yingliang, so he could only turn sideways on the horse and avoid Chen Yingliang's fatal slash. At the same time, his sword that he slashed Chen Yingliang naturally fell into vain. The helmetless knight who controlled the mount for Chen Yingliang took the opportunity to kick the horse's belly, forcing Chen Yingliang's dead noble horse to speed up, and further distance from the pursuers.

"Stop!" Another pursuer was approaching and stabbed Chen Yingliang's spine with his spear. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to turn around and wave his knife to slash the spear, yelling, "Die!"

With a bang, Chen Yingliang was quite surprised that with a knife, his tanning steel horizontal knife, which could only be considered an ordinary knife, suddenly cut off the handle of the spear. Chen Yingliang looked carefully and found that the spear was quite rough. It was a spear made of ordinary mixed wood. Its quality was very rough, so naturally it could not stop Chen Yingliang from using his strength to cut it out.

"Good!" The Knight without Helmet saw it from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but shout, "Little brother, if my soldiers were like you, I wouldn't have lost so badly today!"

Chen Yingliang had no mind at all knowing the words of the Helmetless Knight, but just shouted at a small forest beside the road, "Brothers, come out quickly! I've attracted people, come out and kill people and steal horses! Hurry up! Come out and kill people and steal horses! Hurry up! Brothers!"

"Are there an ambush?" The pursuers behind were shocked, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the grove. They unknowingly slowed down their horses and were careful to beware of the ambush that broke out from the woods. Chen Yingliang took the opportunity to knock on the horse's buttocks with the hilt of the knife. The mount ran wildly in pain, and opened the distance from the dozen pursuers again.

I don’t know if it was because of Chen Yingliang’s scam or the city walls and towers of the Dongdu were already far away. After seeing Chen Yingliang running far away, the dozen pursuers finally did not chase him again. They cursed and chose to turn around and return. When they saw this situation, Chen Yingliang and the helmetless knight were relieved, but they still did not dare to stop and continued to urge the horse to run wildly, and fled to the Dongdu together for their lives.

Perhaps it was destined to be destined. The helmetless knight controlled the mount and actually brought Chen Yingliang back to the previous enlistment and was rejected.

684 Outside Anxi Gate, and less than one mile from the city gate, Chen Yingliang's dead noble horse finally couldn't stand such a violent load-running. He nipped a miserable whisper and fell on the road, taking Chen Yingliang and the Helmetless Knight to the ground. Fortunately, the pursuers were gone and the danger had been eliminated, so the Helmetless Knight and Chen Yingliang not only did not scream and fear, but also lay on the ground and laughed together.

After laughing so much, Chen Yingliang pulled his legs out of the horse, stood up with his hands, and once again helped the helmetless knight wearing heavy armor stand up. It was at this time that Chen Yingliang discovered that the helmetless knight was a middle-aged man in his early forties. In addition to sweat and soil, there was blood on his face, and the bright light armor was covered with blood, as if he had just passed a fierce battle. In addition, Chen Yingliang also carefully discovered that the helmetless knight had only scabbards on his body, but his sword disappeared.

"Little brother, thank you today. If it weren't for you, I would be dead today." The Knight without Helmet first bowed and thanked him, and then asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your Gao surname yet."

"I dare not thank you for your help." Chen Yingliang pretended to be modest and replied: "Young actor Chen Yingliang, a native of Daxing."

"It turns out it's Brother Chen." The Helmetless Knight nodded and asked curiously: "Brother Chen, why did you go to Bai Simaban just now? Don't you know where the war is going?"

"I know, I went to Bai Simaban because I knew it." Chen Yingliang replied truthfully: "Xiaosheng was recommended by someone. He wanted to go to Liaodong to join the army to serve the country. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Mianchi, he heard that the rebel Yang Xuangan had rebelled. The youngsheng was angry but decided to join the army to participate in the rebellion. When he found out that Bai Simaban was on the front line of the war, he planned to join the army there. However, he happened to meet the general and you were unfortunately in trouble. You lucky to help the general."

"Are you going to Bai Simaban to join the army? Are you not afraid of death?" The Knight without Helmet was full of surprise.

"Work for the country and be loyal to the emperor, why fear it?" Chen Yingliang replied shamelessly.

"Who are you going to join?" asked the Knight without Helmet

"Zanzhi, Henan, Master Pei Hongce," Chen Yingliang continued to answer truthfully, "Xiaosheng heard that he was the commander of the counter-rebellion army sent by the court, so he wanted to join him, serve under his command, and participate in the counter-rebellion war."

After saying that, Chen Yingliang had an idea again and hurriedly bowed to the knight without hesitation and said, "Sir, Xiaosheng and Master Pei have never known each other and are from a cold family. Even if they go to join him, it will be difficult for him to receive him in person. I wonder if he can give me kindness and introduce him to Xiaosheng?"

"No need to introduce me, I am Pei Hongce." The Knight without Helmet replied with a wry smile: "It's a pity that you are one step late. My 8,000 troops have been wiped out, and I am the only one left."

"Ah!" Chen Yingliang was really surprised this time. He was not surprised that Pei Hongce's entire army was wiped out, but that he could encounter such good luck and be able to join the army to save the commander of the target army!
